Lock if old.

UPDATE: Here are a few notes from the reviews thanks to Takao.

If you want more than scores, here's some meaningless text:

SFV Famitsu review
-Easy controls compared to most recent fighting games
-Many competing moments outside of execution
-V Triggers help giving chara individualities & easy to know decisive points
-Single player contents not enough
-A reviewer worries that because of simple system & controls, hi-level fights might not be a show of skills.

Setsuna Famitsu review
-Embodiment of the concept of good ol' RPG. Graphics have deep flavor, sad story, piano BGM help bring atmosphere
-Battles are steadily interesting
-They don't really feel anything originally new
-Stone customization & Strategic element in Setsuna system are good
-Too much loading in towns, a bit troublesome
-Takes about 20-25 hours to clear

AoT game Famitsu review
-3D battles represented well in game
-Speed sense different from other games with wire hooks
-Able to play anime 1st season + game-original story is good
-Camp Mode is like being made from a template
-3D action can be done with simple controls
-There's a sense of co-op with AI allies
-A critic says beating titans are almost same all time so easy to get bored, wishes more official story covered.
-25-30 hours for clearing Attack Mode (story), infinite replay value

EDIT: On another news apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Setsuna a 32/40? Hmmmm

 

[Jawmuncher]

So what's the comparison to the other SF game reviews from famitsu?

 

[cw_sasuke]

They needed Sony to fund the game so i guess the marketing budget isnt that high.

 

[jon bones]

been following games for a long time and famitsu's reviews never made any sense - is this a good score? a bad one?

i'll wait for American publications to take a crack at it

 

[Raylan]

Very nice! Can't wait to finally play SFV. Preordered since forever.

 

[Gandalf]

Seems really good for a fighting game. But then again, I'm not exactly familiar with their scores of similar games in the past.

 

[Acquiescence]

This means nothing to me.

Spoiler

ohhhhh Vienna

 

[Warxard]

Fighting game reviews lol, what a fucking joke

 

[Ken]

Rip kancolle

 

[Shuggananas]

Fighting game reviews lol, what a fucking joke

"writing left to be desired. 3/10"

 

[skynidas]

Street Fighter 4 got 34/40 for reference

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Ruh-roh


Should have included a story mode.

 

[Nyx]

They scored SFIV one point less:

Street Fighter IV (PS3/Xbox 360, Capcom): 9 / 8 / 8 / 9 - (34/40)

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

guess that's that

a 35/40 game isn't gonna be tournament viable

 

[SSReborn]

On a side note Attack on Titan scored 34 is that good on their scale?

 

[Kysen]

Same publication that gave Yaiba a good score. Their reviews are worthless.

 

[YianGaruga]

Rip kancolle

lol.
should have cancelled it ages ago

 

[GasProblem]

After the beta who cares about reviews.

I'm interested in that Setsuna review though.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

guess that's that

a 35/40 game isn't gonna be tournament viable

This isn't releasing on mobile phones or the 3ds, so I guess Japan wouldn't cared much anyway.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Sounds good- excited

 

[DecoReturns]

Seems pretty good.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

On a side note Attack on Titan scored 34 is that good on their scale?

The way I see it, 36 and above is a great game. 32-35 is good. 30-31 is okay. 29 and below is not worth your time. Keep in mind this is the same magazine that gave Final Fantasy XIII-2 a perfect score

Edit: although it's still worth to actually read the review as they do have worthwhile insight, regardless of what the final score may be

 

[Filter]

Can't compete with soul calibur 1 on dreamcast unfortunately.

Pre order cancelled.

 

[Xater]

They needed Sony to fund the game so i guess the marketing budget isnt that high.

Looks like it.

 

[Sayad]

guess that's that

a 35/40 game isn't gonna be tournament viable

If only it got 34.

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

WTF, lol, wasn't the beta 9GBs at some point. >_<

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I guess that's a good score or something. Really hard for me to take Famitsu scores for good or bad when tied to marketing dollars.

been following games for a long time and famitsu's reviews never made any sense - is this a good score? a bad one?

i'll wait for American publications to take a crack at it

Been with GAF over a decade and, yeah, I had have come to see Famitsu scores as practically not worth much as I first thought and most often might as well be random points assigned by a dart board.

[Alucrid]

Might as well throw attack on Titan in the evo line up now

 

[Hasney]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

I'm betting a lot of the files are downloaded from within the game, like the mad patching system the beta had.

 

[jiggles]

I guess the cheque's going to be added later.

 

[pizzacat]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

It's probably going to have a similar size update like they did with the beta implementations or that size is wrong or maybe it's right idk

-A reviewer worries that because of simple system & controls, hi-level fights might not be a show of skills.

Wonder if he got bopped online like that other guy

 

[Blueblur1]

I remember when GAF still got excited over a Famitsu score. That was like 9 years ago.

 

[KingBroly]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

SF4 was 3.4gb initially or something I believe. That might've been MVC3 though. SSF4 was 6gb before AE and Ultra, so...it's not that surprising given the art style, the lack of story mode cutscenes and such, which are coming later.

 

[Kiriku]

Weird to see another Famitsu score thread on NeoGAF, didn't we have one recently for a different game? Are Famitsu scores suddenly relevant again?

 

[braves01]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

No story mode probably helps a bit.

 

[minameissteve]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

No doubt it'll be much bigger after a few updates.

 

[Scrawnton]

Wait, Setsuna comes out next week in Japan? Where is the NA announcement. What the heck?!

 

[Xater]

Weird to see another Famitsu score thread on NeoGAF, didn't we have one recently for a different game? Are Famitsu scores suddenly relevant again?

No.

 

[jon bones]

yeah

and to be honest, i dont even care about the American scores

i'm getting the game regardless

 

[BadWolf]

If you want more than scores, here's some meaningless text:

Thanks.

Very solid score for SFV.

Setsuna looks right up my alley too, great to hear about the game length. So tired of the 40+ jrpg length.

 

[ethomaz]

Funny because Famitsu scores are more inline with my tastes lol

So great for me SFV got a good one.

 

[toastyToast]

And apparently Capcom has done some sort of sorcery on the game's file size.

Not really. Little to no cg, little uncompressed audio, textures aren't exactly mind-blowing. Don't see how the file size would be much more than 4.

 

[yoonshik]

Famitsu scores are irrelevant these days.

 

[CollectedDust]

Pretty sure this means nothing, lol. The fate of this game will likely be decided by the players.

 

[anderedna]

Ouch KanColle...
So, zero chance to get localized?

 

[DecoReturns]

It's funny, most of us agree Famitsu scores are irrelevant, but we still post threads their socre.

They just seem to cause bickering.

 

[SSReborn]

Oh yeah definitely gained a lot more from the translated blurb. Seems like the game turned out decent enough may pick it up down the line.

 

[Raylan]

Famitsu scores are irrelevant these days.

Just like all the other review scores out there.
