They rate almost all the Mega Man games ~25/40, the samem agazine that rates every obscure shmup or JRPG 30 minimum
Were they crazy or were they onto something?
Why do they (Famitsu) hate Mega Man so much?

Mega Man just sucks, sorry.
I agree, but I'm surprised that the Famitsu does
>when reviewers weren't owned by corpos
>Mega Man series tries something different
>moronic reviewer still goes 'WHY OH WHYY D'OHH'
At least post that one X3 review
>have to like it when a game does something different no matter how mind numbing and unpolished the execution is
He's complaining about 'more Mega Man' when it's a completely different game to the rest of the series and has no actual criticisms of the game itself beyond 'it's colourful.'
He does imply that the game is trivial and repetitive and that the colorful graphics are nice but ultimately a distraction. Considering how MML threads are 80% wanking to the graphics and cutscene shit I can't blame him
>the ENTIRE review is muh colors, barely any discussion of gameplay
this reads like a low effort Ganker shitpost
Good to know some things never change
It's not just Mega Man, it's all action games. But it seems to be representative of Japan at least
>it's all action games
What makes you think so? They seem to love a lot of action games
They just don't like shitty overrated ones, Gunstar Heroes also comes to mind: loved by the West like it's the best thing ever and shrugged off by Famitsu as the generic, repetitive pewpewpew simulator it is
I always hated Contra
Famitsu is garbage and you're garbage as well
Gunstar Heroes was loved in Japan as well and was the no.1 Mega Drive game of 1993
Mega Drive however wasn't successful in Japan
The reviewers were their own people with their own biases, sometimes on target, sometimes moronic. They gave perfect scores to Skyward Sword and NSMB Wii, for frick's sake. If that doesn't tell you they're fallible, nothing will.
Same with Final Fantasy XIII. That's nu-Famitsu, though. They weren't that shit back then
>They weren't that shit back then
They were always shit
>25 out of 40 isn't a bad score, it's above half.
25/40 is basically a 6/10
Gunstar isn't a 6, no way in hell
More like a 9
>25/40 is basically a 6/10
Like I said, 3/5 is a good score in Japan and the average for everything, and then points are added or subtracted from there. It's not like in America where they start at 5 (or 10) and then subtract points.
>They gave perfect scores to Skyward Sword and NSMB Wii, for frick's sake.
Becaue they're paid off by Nintendo.
Most major review outlets gave SS a perfect or 1 point removed from perfect score
I swear they give everything a 27/40
i mean i love both mega man and jrpgs, but if i had to wager a guess, it's because mega man is always sci-fi focused whereas jrpgs (and sometimes shmups) can put you any world. of course, the sci-fi genre is fairly varied oftentimes and is that way in mega man too, but if you're not into sci-fi it'll all just come off as shlock. I used to be that way with medieval jrpgs as a kid, still prefer other types but i'll give em a chance nowadays, kinda a silly thing to not grow out of.
They're LITERALLY Japanese IGN
25 out of 40 isn't a bad score, it's above half. If you think that 25/40 is bad then you just don't understand the rating system. For example in Japan when they rate by stars, 3 stars is a good review. But in America anything less than 5 is bad. Famitsu is the same; just because the score is less than 30 doesn't mean it's a bad game at all.
No they're not. IGN has a Japanese version and it's not Famitsu.
>why
Because mega man games are stiff shit?
Famitsu were just JARPIG casuals
>NIntendoggu bestu geemu 40/40-uuu
Frick's sake who is playing or even thinking of that on anything but a launch era DS? Even then shit was moronic.
nintendogs is comfy, ain't a perfect game in general persay, but for what it's supposed to be it's pretty near perfect
per se, not "persay"
