It's Famitsu, who cares...

Famitsu is only the most influential gaming publication in japan and one of the most respected in the world. Think before you speak.


No, shio is quite right. Famitsu is beyond worthless in their review catagory.

They give out reviews based on what fans want. As I told everyone with their Haze review, even if they do happen to give MGS4 the score it deserves it doesn't matter. They still freely admit to giving out reviews based on what fans want.

When it came out that Gamespot did something similar everyone had their pitchforks handy, but since Famitsu is Japanse people are more forgiving for some odd reason.

 


Oh, so it's just like I had suspected.

Are these scores ever included in Gamerankings/Metacritic?


 Gamerankings doesn't include Famitsu and I don't think Metacritic does though I generally don't like to use Metacritic because they'll take just about any review (which says a lot that they won't take Famitsu).


well i dont think MC or GR count any jap reviewers
