Perfect Bayonetta Famitsu score reserved for 360 version
As you can see from this ScrawlFX shot of the review section in the latest Famitsu, talk of Platinum’s Bayonetta receiving a perfect 40/40 in the mag was true. For the 360 version.
The PS3 game got a shameful 38/40. This will make the purest’s head explode. Does this mean Bayonetta has 39/40 overall? Or should the two versions be seen as separate entities?
You decide. Or just play the game and enjoy yourself. Whatever.

Weird. Since when did Famitsu start handing out scores on a ‘per platform’ basis?

They only ever do it when there’s a substantial difference in quality between versions.

Perhaps it’s just me, but a two-point difference is scores doesn’t exactly sound like a ‘substantial difference in quality’.

Maybe they were paid more for the 360 review?

@substantial enough to warrant a different score, duh. It’s still the same great game obviously!

It’d be interesting to get a translation of the reviews to see why they liked it so much, and why they felt the PS3 version needed a lower score.

The PS3 version is noticeably inferior on a technical level.

who the fuck does 40 out of 40 lmao. and really a perfect score for a DMC/bulletwitch game. yeaaa I think its push time yet again to see if 360 can at least get a pulse from being dead in Japan.

I expect that the fact it wasn’t developed by Platinum games makes a massive difference.

I don’t know what you’re talking about… see those faces on the left of the page? They’re all four reviewers, each giving their own score.
Like in this one: http://www.maxconsole.net/content_img/famysco.jpg

I know you read stuff from this site everyday but don’t post often. Its the same way I felt when I came across Pyschotext and Morris comments every time I visited this site. They had to be stopped.
Also lol I’m getting WET. It may be a rip off of Maxpayne and tombraider but its ok…for a rental while I get the easy platinum
