Dunno, but for perspective both SM64 and Link to the Past got 39/40.

You aren't playing as her...you are playing with her. Thats much more fun

It's similar to what EGM did, except integerized. The big difference here is that people care way too much about the aggregate score. For SM64 and Ocarina, three people thought it deserved highest marks, rather than four. Big whoop.

Won't buy if Metacritic is below 96.

So did the OP avoid a ban?
o.O

There's dozens of even Japanese centric games you could name.

The only reason a 40/40 was newsworthy before was the rarity, that's clearly behind us now so hopefully no one will care anymore.

Also, unlike Sarah Palin, Bayonetta can break-dance.

That is the dumbest video I've seen, today.

Famitsu had integrity back then and didn't accept moneyhats!

Because he didn't do anything banworthy?

Wrong, I posted the three that deserve it.

well he was going to be banned if everything he posted was false.

I hope xfactor realizes that his entire account is now on the line because of a few Japanese sites going "Hmm... is it true Bayonetta got a 40/40 from Famitsu?". If this turns out to be fake, I'm afraid he's not coming from again. :(

He also said somewhere EVERYTHING had to be true. Not just the Bayonetta score.

My question to everyone who has been keeping up with everything, was if the info he posted was ALL true or not.

From the little bits I was able to read, while here at work, it looks like the BAYO score is true, but i didnt see anything about the rest of the info.

Plywood · (10-21-2009, 12:10 AM)

PlatinumGames doesn't have the money to hat this. Right? So uhm... wow.

EDIT: Oh wait, might be fake.

I'm pretty sure Sega does.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to say this.

Sorry I see an 11 page thread, I kinda just instinctually go for a reply.

Oh yeah I'm well aware, but with with egm it was extra perspectives on a proper review, not four equal blurbs. Maybe it would be different if I knew the reviewers. And I agree about it just a number, I'm largely responding to the hullabaloo each time one appears. I suppose it's not fair when we only hear about the 40/40s without the proper context.

As a sidenote I wonder if the increasing perfect scores such as edge tens, and the recent splurging over uncharted say something about he increasing connectedness and hype felt by games journalists and their growing uniformity in this meta review age.

Is there a conscious, or unconscious, effort to have the "right" opinion. Or maybe it's just a result of the surge in games media and fansite reviewers.

octopusman · (10-21-2009, 12:34 AM)

Um, is this an entirely review issue of Famitsu? isn't there any relevant news?

I don't buy the "late because of Nintendo news" BS, in fact I seem to remember that false hype being drummed up once before.

So Bayonetta is just as good as Nintendogs?

I've been waiting for an action game of that level.

It already happened in the first page.

What's the point of that? Besides, WoL is the first bonafide new old-school FF in ages.

Now if it were a new-jack Nomura FF, that might be a different story.

Scans are coming out now. Bayonetta got a 40/40 for the 360 version and 38/40 for the PS3 version.

Thanks. Based on the descriptions I've read here that would seem to be an accurate take.

Obviously Microsoft added some money to the hat that Sony wasn't willing to!

We'll at least now we can believe the somewhat at least tried each version of the game.

This just makes it even funnier if FFXIII and GT5 don't reach 40.

Edit the OP fast to avoid getting banned.

Looks like all the scores in the op might be fake. The real score for SRT Neo is 8/7/7/7.

I don't know Japanese, so I can't read the game title, but the screen shot and review I'm looking at now LOOKS like it's Sin and Punishment 2. It got 8/8/8/7.

Why? Because it's named FF & GT

Famitsu showing a glimpse of credibility by review each version seperately? :o

Johann · (10-21-2009, 01:31 AM)

Curiouser and curiouser...

You know, Disney's Fillmore! did an episode on this. After a grueling chase through the A/V Room and the Bocce field, it ended with the inferior version receiving the same score and a firm warning that such mediocrity would not be tolerated in the future.

Sin and Punishment 2 got 8/8/8/7. The page with the Four Warriors of Light score isn't out yet.

Damn I had the Lucius Aurelius Commodus ban him gif ready. Oh well.

Judging by the demo thread, I expected a 35 max for the PS3 version.
