Well that's good to hear, actually. A tip of the hat to you then and you can have my apologies right here and now. I just don't enjoy negativity, between the phrase "box of crap" and the idea that their credibility was ruined by liking something you didn't the post came across to me as particularly spiteful. But the nature of text as it pertains to the internet is such that it's hard to know some one's intent and you never used the word hate. And it's sir. I have a brother named Felix as it would happen.FelixG said:
What? Dead or Alive 4 got that a 39/40? But it was just a worse version of DOA3Yosato said:
Pokemon got a perfect score?
A high score is starting to look like an insult.
In my eyes, Famitsu has always given high scores to the least deserving games throughout their history.
For example, every single game coming out of Square Enix is almost guaranteed to get 35/40 or higher, the only exceptions being blatantly horrible ones such as Dirge of Cerberus. In fact, they tend to give near-perfect scores to any JRPG with a reasonable amount of hype behind it. And like others have mentioned above, their choices of "perfect" games tend to be... less than stellar ones... The only notable aspects of them is that they're made by well-regarded companies or use a highly profitable franchise.
Executive meddling abound, I suppose.

Well, Gears 3 is a really amazing game, it just works so well on every level - gameplay, graphics, sound, it's a wonderful game.
Considering how I spent over an hour soloing the Lambent Zerker on insane, 15 with a serious asterisk seems somewhat reasonable.
Good game though, good enough to make me slap down $30 USD for that stupid season pass. Then again, it comes with a shiny weapon skin, and my TF2 playing has practically turned me into a magpie.
