The Japanese have finally spoken. Even they are sick and tired of the moe anime games that all Japanese devs seem to solely create this generation just like everyone else. Hail to the future of gaming!

Who are you and what did you do to icecream

why would it need to sell for the publisher to buy a relatively cheap review score? It's much cheaper than actually marketing it widely to a pretty uninterested gaming public.

Famitsu doesn't do these reviews merely for games they think will be popular. They do it for whichever publisher wants to pay. Famitsu is the golden standard for lack of integrity.

Well, damn...i am a bitter person...

Edit: I can't believe i am living in a world where Ni no Kuni gets a lower score than MW3....

Edit 2: from Famitsu...

As much as I like Studio Ghibli movies, the fact that Ni no Kuni is an RPG has really turned me off on getting it. I hope they release a movie version of it to be honest. I know that's not cool to say as a gamer, but there ya go.

* Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Subtitled Version (PS360): 10, 10, 9, 10
* Saints Row The Third (PS360): 9, 9, 9, 9

Famitsu's reviewers better use dat western money to go to soapland and buy gravure DVDs.

But seriously, guys! Haven't the myriad of threads here on the deterioration of Japanese gaming style/design, as well as 1up's incredibly accurate exposé on Why Japanese Games are Breaking Up With the West demonstrated things clearly?

Why would anyone play games with such puerile art and "archaic" gameplay such as:

Or totally this:

But seriously, I picked up last week's issue, and EVERY SINGLE CONSOLE GAME reviewed in the magazine (I think there were 8 or 9) got at least a silver award. So ridiculous.

What is this? The Uncharted 3 Eurogamer thread all over again?

I'm amazed at people complaining about Famitsu giving Modern Warfare 3 a high score.

They should give Angry Birds a 40/40, then I can watch as the world ends.

Homura is way to amazing for this.

Seems this time Level 5 didn't forget the moneyhats, or maybe Sony didn't give a single fuck about WKC1&2.

Even the US Army loves Homura!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
So Ninokuni NDS has a higher score than Ninokuni PS3 eh...
 
* Saints Row The Third (PS360): 9, 9, 9, 9

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, I'm surprised, even though thinking about it I shouldn't be; SR:TT almost is like a Japanese parody of GTA (with all the Professor Genki stuff for local appeal).

Whoa, when did icecream return? Welcome back, anyway! GAF is more interesting with you around.

So all these good reviews for MW3 have me pretty interested in checking it out. For $30 or so, though.

I just realized that MW3 is coming out at the same time as Ni no Kuni in Japan. Now I'm very curious what game would sell more (basing it on the Amazon pre-orders, which doesn't indicate much, MW3 is no. 3 and Ni no Kuni is no. 21 :p).
