Forums - Gaming - Famitsu VS Metacritic

 

What score do you trust more?

Metacritic 105 86.78%
 
Famitsu 16 13.22%
 
Total:121

DAMN!!!!
Didnt realise people where so damn pissed about this =P
Well thanks for the lols anyway.
I could honestly go do the same thing with almost any reviewer on Metacritic, not to mention how every reviewer has different ways for scoring which is why a score alone means absolutley nothing.

Wait they gave FFXIII-2 a perfect score? Thats disgusting.



I love some good ol controversy in the mornin

Folks are really pissed about that xcx review today, aren't they.


Dumb question but what is xcx

As for Famitsu, i never pay any attention to them.  Gametrailers, Gamespot, IGN, Polygon, and a few of the other big ones is all i pay attention to.  Honestly, most of metacritic reviewers are random sites ive never heard of.  I know Famitsu isnt on there, but they would just be another one i dont pay attention to

Xenoblade Chronicles X got a 34/40 from Famitsu, that new Ass Creed game about China or whatever recieved the same score.... the Famitsu thread got ugly.

Yeah probably only deserves a 9/10 tbh

OT: The answer to your poll is niether, both are garbage and tell me shit games are good and good games are shit on a regular basis

I must be really out of sync with this site because i had no idea xD  

Thing about reviews, theyre opinions.  You either accept an opinion or you dont, but no reason to get upset about it in my opinion.

Should add that it's also from a site with a dodgy history when it comes to reviews as well.

 

Yep. And everyone's taking it as gospel, for whatever reason. I'll just wait until more reviews come in.

Or better yet, I'll wait until I actually play the game.

If you have to choose one, what would you choose? That´s what I mean with the poll.



White Knight Chronicles 2 (metacritic 60), Great game
Rune factory Tildes of Destiny (55), Great game
Star ocean 4 (72), Great game

metacritic is stupid



Both are silly. But Famitsu is an average of four scores while Metacritic is typically an average of dozens.
