you know i understand the point of not putting too much faith in a review. Its a good point. But that being said i don't think anyone would be talking about Famitsu being "untrustworthy" if they'd given a higher score to WKC

Just had a read of Famitsu and KichiVerde is spot on. Their only gripe with the game is the difficulty of chatting online, they wish for an auto run and auto battle system. The offline play is beautiful and challenging.

So in words people can understand. Offline is awesome while Online isnt that great due to the difficulties in chatting however the game play online is solid.

and the reviewers complained alot about alot of things. 4 people in the fam reviews are saying its hard communicating online but say its a good game other than that.... seriously over exaggeration in epic proportions going on in this thread (fernando numenox benV especially)

 Took the words right out of the J mans mouth.

I bet that if Famitsu have gave a 40/40 to WKC, no one would be complaining about the credibility of the magazine.

Onii - how can you say offline is awesome when no one has played it outside of Famitsu reviewers?

I mean, if they are knocking it only for online play....I think they have a problem.

i really hope that is all cause i've been looking foreward to this game quite a bit. 

@Fernando

People have always complained or have not seen Famitsu reviews eye to eye. Your post isn't nothing new.

@ fernando - its been pretty well known (and admitted by fam) that fam scores on hype

Why don't we ever get any other scores from Japan? It's always nothing but Famitsu... some others could really help us out. Are they the only ones out there?

Anyway, whether people think Famitsu is worthless or not, I still think there's a decent chance their scores might mean something. Hopefully the game doesn't bomb, but again, I doubt this will light up the charts.

People should've held off their hopes for Yakuza 3 IMO...
