i remember years ago when famitsu scores were such a big deal because people were always saying how harsh they review games.
i dunno when but it seems like there was a point where they just started handing out high reviews left and right so people just stopped taking them seriously.
Look at twitter, reddit, resetera, neogaf, whatever the frick. People have been prediction 90-97 score. People have been overhyping this game since it was announced.
>lmao and people take this shit magazine seriously?
Not really, Famitsu is basically japanese IGN. It's relevant because it's a big media outlet and the marketing teams care and no other reason. Basically you only see Famitsu scores being posted when it's for shitposting purposes.
>huge battle going on and MC and his crew have been introduced >go from a sweet embrace between two characters to dragging it on as they pillow talk
deserved - that was the worst time to drag out that kind of scene and I can't imagine it's been changed from the demo
they did much better with the mom and dad scene since they were actually developing viewpoints through conversation throughout
it has gaysex in it to satisfy the western journos but then again it has alot more straight sex in it with attractive women so it completely nullifies it from the western journo point of view.
Never forget the fact that this game actually pulls a "lmao all of this never happened and was just a story in a book, yeah we're implying that in this fictional media everything that happened was fiction too... mindblowing right?"
Square are hacks and everyone will eat it up because most people "journos included" won't play the game past the first half
>To be fair it doesn't. It writing is so bad It makes this a legit possibility
Black person the ending is only just slightly ambiguous. everyone including you are just being weirdly moronic
the devs are going to probably end up releasing a statement after too many americans complain about being confused over the ending i can just feel it.
It's not even that complicated but somehow everyone here is both over and under thinking it.

its always so funny and pathetic seeing tendies crawl out of their holes when their ''magnum opus'' DLC suddenly got their score back to 96 with pure and definitely transparent 100s ratings
>The 39/40 score XVI received is one of the highest scores Famitsu has awarded this year. This is one point higher than Final Fantasy XV, which was given a 38/40 back in 2016. Final Fantasy VII Remake received a 39/40 in April 2020, similar to XVI. This rating came from Issue 1803.
This game will mog XV in the metascore.
Barry's next move will be to tank the user score by sockpuppeting accounts. He will then post collages of the user score compared to XV. Screenshot this.
Games that got 40/40 pre-07 inflation
1985-1997 - Nothing
1998 - Ocarina of Time (GOTY)
1999 - SoulCalibur (GOTY)
2000 - Vagrant Story
2002 - Wind Waker
2006 - Final Fantasy XII
vagrant story did that well? I thought it was a good game when i played it on the ps1 back then but no one ever talks about it and my threads always go straight to the archive without any posts/
Yeah and I remember the fanbase constantly bringing that famitsu score up in old gamefaqs arguments to justify their reasoning why they thought it was the best rpg at the time
/v/: "Frick game journalists, they are the worst cancer on the industry, gaming journalism is an irredeemable pile of shit"
Ganker when a journalist outlet drops a review on their hyped up upcoming game: "BROS WE WON/OH NO NO NO XSISTERS WE LOST, MY GAME HAS 1 MORE POINT MORE THAN YOUR FAV GAME LOLOLOLOL NINTENDO/SNOY ON SUICIDE LMAO THINGCHADS WE FRICKING WON GOTY CONFIRMED"
Journo scores are only shitposting fuel. and shitposting and arguing about modern videogames unfortunately have become more fun than actually playing them.
it's actually: >game I hate gets bad review: OH NO NO NO XSISTERS?!?! >game I love gets bad review and/or game I hate gets good review: Paid shills/ game journos are cancer/ lmao ratings? who cares? >game I love gets good review: true based and redpilled
>study hard to become a game developer >work like a goddamn slave for years >your fate is at the hands of humanity students that are too bumb to take on high school math
Holy frick lol
Why do you homies care about muh epic famitsu. These scores are no better than ign.
Skyrim, gta5, ff12 the most boring ff game on the planet, windwaker an unfinished game, mgs4 a fricking movie, bayonetta a action where you spam one combo for the entire game and it reuses the first 3rd of the game several times, skyward sword, ff13-2 just lol, zelda totk an assest flip
All got perfect scores.
Its really obvious that most of these are given out during hype, or in fear moronic fans would riot if they didn’t get a le epic score which is exactly what ign does for a lot of shit.
>Polygon >Worst of all, the plot is diametrically opposed to the gameplay: wooden where the gameplay is vibrant, rote where the gameplay is inventive. During some cutscenes I found myself falling asleep, the characters’ lines just sliding off my brain like water off a duck’s back. This isn’t to denigrate the voice actors, who are all doing their best with some very tired material

not fair to compare to because it got the nintendo famitsu boost.
famitsu is owned by nintendo

Ofcourse, Skyrim is the perfect videogame.

Wut, the Famitsu score doesn't drop anon.
game confirmed trash
>near perfect score
>it's not a perfect score so it's trash
if its a game i dont like yes. its a disaster
Given inflated scores in modern reviews it's probably ok. Especially as TotK is very bland rehash.
>ff16 scored lower than a bland rehash
fantasysters...its over...
>Same score as XIII
A 39 back then was more valuable, now it's like a 35.
If Famitsu doesn't give a Japanese game 40/40, it's guaranteed to be shit.
They've only give 40/40 to 28 games. Elden Ring got 39/40
>Smash Bros Brawl is better than Elden Ring
Based and true.
Elden Ring wasn’t as innovative as totk, just admit it.

Sounds like every single video game magazine, 7th gen is when everyone started throwing 10/10s everywhere.
Weird, getting the 40/40 isn't so hard in Famitsu. Means the game will be around 85-92 in Metacritic.
>getting the 40/40 isn't so hard in Famitsu
Only 29 games got it.
Now name how many games got 39/40.
Look at twitter, reddit, resetera, neogaf, whatever the frick. People have been prediction 90-97 score. People have been overhyping this game since it was announced.
Realistically the game is probably getting a 87.
And Street Fighter 6 is among those.

It’s two men about to kiss. Dion and Terrance.

If you think thats bad just wait till western journos get their hands on it. Lack of diversity is gonna cost them alot of points.
it has gaysex in it to satisfy the western journos but then again it has alot more straight sex in it with attractive women so it completely nullifies it from the western journo point of view.
Proof that Sony didn't pay them off. Sorry turnbased tards.
We're never going back

No, it's called not being biased. You can't draw a conclusion in any direction. It's funny though because It was dome well in xiv.

To be fair Sony and Xbox have their own affiliated journos but yeah, Nintendo have a lot more of those outlets than probably those other two platforms combined.
>So thats where the nintendo bonus comes from?
Yep
its always so funny and pathetic seeing tendies crawl out of their holes when their ''magnum opus'' DLC suddenly got their score back to 96 with pure and definitely transparent 100s ratings
>moron gives it a low review just to get attention
>another real review comes out and score goes back up
Thats basically it
>TOTK Metacritic: 95
Very high score that shits on XV
>Clear time is 30 to 40 hours for the main story, 70 hours for completionists.
thought it would be longer tbqh
Took Margrace about 50
yeah, but I think the leaker was doing sidequest up until the second timeskip, I think
Isn't famitsu a fujo magazine?
That's right, 13-2 is still better. Serah's game baby, yeah!
thr reviewer that gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is homophobic
Why do people care about famitsu scores when skyward sword got a 40/40
>The 39/40 score XVI received is one of the highest scores Famitsu has awarded this year. This is one point higher than Final Fantasy XV, which was given a 38/40 back in 2016. Final Fantasy VII Remake received a 39/40 in April 2020, similar to XVI. This rating came from Issue 1803.
>lower than SF 6
>Same score as a demake
>Barely better than final homosexualry X/V/
I've lost all hope...
>Last FF game to got a perfect score was Final Fantasy XIII-2
>ff13 had a trilogy
Yeah nice comparison reaper
FF13-2 is one of the best and most fun games I'ever played, it's there on top with Bloodborne, Warcraft 3, Chrono Trigger and Half-Life or MGS.
Fricking MOGged
>Scored higher than 7, 6 and 15
Kek
I can't wait to see barry's meltdown when he sees its higher than 15's score
This game will mog XV in the metascore.
Barry's next move will be to tank the user score by sockpuppeting accounts. He will then post collages of the user score compared to XV. Screenshot this.
>16 didnt get a perfect score so its shit
>15 scored LESS than 15 but its the best game ever
My god the cope. Almost can't want for the embargo to lift tomorrow
Games that got 40/40 pre-07 inflation
1985-1997 - Nothing
1998 - Ocarina of Time (GOTY)
1999 - SoulCalibur (GOTY)
2000 - Vagrant Story
2002 - Wind Waker
2006 - Final Fantasy XII
just proves that their review process is a meme. four people reviewing a game doesn't make any sense
vagrant story did that well? I thought it was a good game when i played it on the ps1 back then but no one ever talks about it and my threads always go straight to the archive without any posts/
Yeah and I remember the fanbase constantly bringing that famitsu score up in old gamefaqs arguments to justify their reasoning why they thought it was the best rpg at the time
Your 39/40 game is bad.
My 38/40 game is good.
Simple as... I won't debate on it, it's my headcanon, my... final fantasy...
perfect for me but idk if shes 40
>officially worse than The Last of Us Part II
Abbychads, we win
/v/: "Frick game journalists, they are the worst cancer on the industry, gaming journalism is an irredeemable pile of shit"
Ganker when a journalist outlet drops a review on their hyped up upcoming game: "BROS WE WON/OH NO NO NO XSISTERS WE LOST, MY GAME HAS 1 MORE POINT MORE THAN YOUR FAV GAME LOLOLOLOL NINTENDO/SNOY ON SUICIDE LMAO THINGCHADS WE FRICKING WON GOTY CONFIRMED"
Journo scores are only shitposting fuel. and shitposting and arguing about modern videogames unfortunately have become more fun than actually playing them.
it's actually:
>game I hate gets bad review: OH NO NO NO XSISTERS?!?!
>game I love gets bad review and/or game I hate gets good review: Paid shills/ game journos are cancer/ lmao ratings? who cares?
>game I love gets good review: true based and redpilled
Why are capeshit homosexual morons mentally ill?
YOSHIDA KNEELS TO GODRIYAMA
The smartest one in Farron family
Didnt get a perfect score because some moronic turn based Black person cryed over action combat lol.
DOOMSISTERS WHO DO WE SIDE ON TRANSCORD PLZ RESPON?!?!?
>study hard to become a game developer
>work like a goddamn slave for years
>your fate is at the hands of humanity students that are too bumb to take on high school math
Holy frick lol
do journogays really? did they even play the game? i can't imagine the mental state it took to write this with a straight face.
yeah, and ff13 also got a 39/40 and it was dogshit.
>worse than oblivion 2
Pathetic
Why do you homies care about muh epic famitsu. These scores are no better than ign.
Skyrim, gta5, ff12 the most boring ff game on the planet, windwaker an unfinished game, mgs4 a fricking movie, bayonetta a action where you spam one combo for the entire game and it reuses the first 3rd of the game several times, skyward sword, ff13-2 just lol, zelda totk an assest flip
All got perfect scores.
Its really obvious that most of these are given out during hype, or in fear moronic fans would riot if they didn’t get a le epic score which is exactly what ign does for a lot of shit.
of course but tendies and doomposters have ran out of ammo so they're grasping at straws
GTA 5 was a 10 in 2013, like GTA 4 and San Andreas it moved open world forwards. IGN has given out more than double the perfect scores
It's japanese so it's good. Simple as.
>make rpg with western sensibilities in mind
>surprised when Japs don’t like it
Wow
>39/40 = didn't like
Fricking moron
Livestream.
>Kino
>Clive, it's you!? You're the Final Fantasy?
Famitsu has been shit for a long time.
will he like it?
he's been too much of a coward to criticise sony ever since they made him walk back his negative review of last of us 1.
He hate japan more then ww2 vets, i bet he call them zipperheads
Apologize
My Muse, Mu Heroine...save us from this doomed world of cringe for we know not what we do...
Is there any way to read Famitsu in english, or to buy the magazine from Europe?
NINTENDOG CHADS
3 10/10s, 1 9/10 (1 point was apparently dropped by that reviewer because it wasn't turn-based)
Reminder they give MGSV a perfect score because their boss was recreated in the game in his likeness
why do you fricks care about review scores in the year of our lord 2023, the only thing that matters is how much money it make in the end
it's to fit our narratives.
Game we like:
>bad score: "AIEEEEE PAID SHILLS" or "Reviews le bad"
>good score: "BASED TRUE AND RED PILLED"
Game we hate:
>Bad score: "OH NO NO NO XSISTERS? OUR GAME?"
>Good score: "AIEEEEE PAID SHILLS" or "Reviews le bad"
Simple as
Because sales shitposting is soulless.
>the only thing that matters is how much I enjoyed it
ftfy
The only thing that matters for every single video game is what I think about it. Me.
tendies care when it suits them
Ponies getting the ropes out.
88 score so far that ain't bad at all shitposting Black folk aside, thats pretty great after FFXV i mean.
>Polygon
>Worst of all, the plot is diametrically opposed to the gameplay: wooden where the gameplay is vibrant, rote where the gameplay is inventive. During some cutscenes I found myself falling asleep, the characters’ lines just sliding off my brain like water off a duck’s back. This isn’t to denigrate the voice actors, who are all doing their best with some very tired material
oh no no no no no
