| Kresnik said: Valhalla Knights 3 launch trailer. Didn't review too well in Famitsu, though. 30/40. |
Famitsu reviews are pretty useless. The scores, at least, as the actual reviews can be okay when we see them. Talk about a 6-10 scale. I can't remember one of the editors ever giving a game a 4 (or even a 5, but that has probably happened). They're also pretty open about the fact that they weigh hype heavily into their reviews, not in the sense that the more touted a game is the better it has to be so as not to disappoint them, but the more ad space they've sold for it hyped it is the more forgiving they are about it. Pretty backwards.
Anyway, I'm strangely excited for Valhalla Knights. The hostess club part is... a little odd (it's always the creepiest part of the Yakuza games for me) but the character creation in the series has been roughly on par with the Elder Scrolls in terms of depth and freedom. And you get to make seven characters! I'm highly tempted to roll with seven dwarven asskickers.
