Why are Famitsu reviews suddenly irrelevant and worthless (this is the first time I'm hearing this) just because HW got good reviews?

These forums are weird.

Please point me to any thread where Famitsu reviews were taken very seriously.


I very much dislike this kind of response. You know wshy? Because I could say:

"Please point me to any thread where *insert any website/magazine here* reviews were taken very seriously."

In other words, I'm saying your statement means nothing.

Additionally, there was a time when Famitsu reviews were hailed as one of the most, if not the most, important measuring stick for the quality of titles. Everyone (who knows what they're talking about) would agree that this has become less pronounced since the 7th gen started, but nevertheless, a Kotaku score still has value attached to it.

So I urge you, please don't post these types of retorts to mildly sensible comments - they genuinely add nothing to the discussion.
