Forums - Sony - Famitsu REVIEWS Yakuza 3 --- AAA CONFIRMED??

I def. agree there, hell the whole world should....

but ever review site makes mistakes..

For once I agree with you. I tend to value Famitsu scores more than most people on the net. Most people actually laugh at Famitsu, pointing at certain reviews, but wave me off when I mentino IGN's God Hand review.

 

Either way, Famitsu adds points for games with large userbases. This is commonly seen as giving games false scores for hype, but its not the case. In actuality, games with huge fanbases are reviewed as if the reviewer was a member of that fanbase. You see it all the time in american journalism as well. It's called reviewer tilt. However, in Famitsu that tilt is an artificial score that is added to account for the fandom and userbase of a game.

 

Famitsu is very much a numbers magazine. Your basically getting 4 different reviews averaged, so I feel that the reviews average funny sometimes, as with Lair, and Metroid Prime, but the benefit to the consumer is you get a broad range of opinions from one source, making it, in my book at least, a worthy indicator.

 

If 4 people like the game enough to give it 4 9/10's, then it has to have something going for it. 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I don't say Lair sucks but I think it's not a game that is superior to metroid.
So chill out.

but they did give SSBB 40/40...

Sure sometimes they are right but sometimes they are reviewing games only by hype.

MP3 was not really hyped that's why they gave it below 80%. I know it deserves more than Lair.


*whistles*

Famitsu like to give big games, high scores. I am sure it will be very good, but it isn't AAA confirmed yet.

Also they gave Lair 33/40 and red steel too. So I would think before thinking it's AAA.


They gave Lair a 33/40 because the Japanese evidently aren't impatient pricks and realized that all you needed to do to make the game good was learn the controls. Now you know the only reason it got berated was because of the controls, but once you look past that, or take the time to learn them, then the game is just fine


 Right. Evey single Western reviewer was an impatient prick. It has nothing at all to do with the fact that the controls just plain suck, or the fact that Famitsu seems biased against anything resembling a Western-made game. No siree. 

Glorious Nippon is always right. Not like those American pig-dogs.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

 have you even played Lair? The controls are pretty darn good once you get the hang of it. If Lair's control suck then Super Mario Galaxy's controls were just plain horrid. 

And Famitsu gave GTASA, yes GRAND THEFT AUTO SAN ANDREAS, a pretty darn good score (forget what itw as but it was over 30/40).

Now quit your trolling or leave these forums.
