Comments on: Rumour: Bayonetta gets 40/40 from Famitsu [Update] http://www.vg247.com/2009/10/20/bayonetta-gets-4040-from-famitsu/ VG247.com Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:44:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Freek http://www.vg247.com/2009/10/20/bayonetta-gets-4040-from-famitsu/comment-page-1/#comment-115117 Freek Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:32:59 +0000 http://www.vg247.com/?p=63281#comment-115117 My point is that it isn't a problem at all, but that the magazines reflect the taste of it's audiance and that companies catering to said audiance will logicaly get high scores because they know them well. There is nothing wrong with that, that's why you see an exclusivly japanese list of high scores in a japanese gaming mag. In the West you might see a few japanese games slip in, we're a little more broad in our tastes but overall it would be the Halos, Call of Duties and Fall Outs that make up our highest scoring games.

If you don't listen to the noise created by any blogger that makes a review, you have a game that have an average of 95. BTW U2 is nowhere near the bullsh*t reviews that GTA IV, Halo 3 and MGS4 got from the mainstream media where all the flaws were overlooked by the reviewers. And one of those games is from a Japanese developer and publisher, so what's your point again? @Freek What is the problem with Uncharted 2 getting great reviews in the West?

It's an aggregate of four reviewers marking out of 10. It's probably the best way for any one source to mark things since you're getting 4 perspectives rather than 1, still, as the list demonstrates, just because 4 Famitsu guys liked it doesn't mean everyone will. “40? bloody japanese can’t do anything NORMAL can they?”

Its quite a decent way of doing things but its just retarded to think that 4 people gave the game a perfect score, especially this game.

I'm still amused that they once spoke candidly about the fact that publishers can essentially "negotiate" a higher score. I wonder how much “marketing budget” it takes to buy Famitsu these days.
