Famitsu scores DmC 34/40

[Zato-OW]

I'll post the link when its provided but this was the official score for DmC from them. Famitsu is the top reviewer of Japan. DMC4 score was 35/40 DMC3 had the same score as DMC4. Can't find the scores for DMC1, I know DMC1 ranked higher then all the others. DMC2 ranked the lowest.

Edit, Okay DMC1 ranked the same as DMC3. DMC2 was the lowest.

Not bad i guess.

Honestly I'm kinda hoping this game doesn't get ridiculous over-the-top 9/10 scores unless it *truly* deserved it.

I always thought Famitsu had a great scoring system, because they have four people review it. That's nice to hear, I guess

34/40?

 

[nightrunner_ks]

The Japanese reviewers LIKED DmC? Impressive.

 

[CheeseKao]

So that would be two 9s and two 8s. That's pretty good but I can see a lot of people going 'lol famitsu's reviews are unreliable' and stuff.

Has this game been given a score lower than 8 yet? i mean, whats the deal here?

I'm actually really excited about DmC, and all these previews and now review scores aren't really helping me at all.

I think DmC has really good timing for its release. The only other hack and slash game that came out was Darksiders 2. I'm not saying they have to compete with one another, its just after DS2, i felt my life was still missing something.... and i'm pretty sure its this game. I just dunno if i'm going to actually have time to play MGR. I mean 2 weeks apart? i'll still be dickin' around on DMD mode. And don't forget about Vergil.

So far it hasn't received anything below a 8.9 which is fantastic!

This is kinda offtopic, but I just saw this

Has anyone seen the bogus reviews in question?

Maybe it's just me, but I think other gaming magazines should have this review system. It would cut out the majority of bias and give opinion variety.
Sure it's good when a reviewer is a fan of a game, but I want an objective review that shows the not so good points as well.

Yeah it was the Insight-Factor review that gave it a 7.5/10. That was the bogus review.
All the others are legitimate.

oh, ok thanks.

But that seems pretty weird, I thought a 7.5 was pretty fair, turns it it came from a bogus reviewer lol.

I guess that guy really wanted to get hits. Lol

Didn't they lash out because it wasn't a real review?

 

[ToCool74]

Not sure on the specifics of it, but apparently from the little I read over on GameFAQ was that the site hadn't received their "review code" yet which is why it was taken down.

Not sure if that means that the person who reviewed it had played it or not.

 

[chocolateghost79]

Didn't they lash out because it wasn't a real review?

That is correct amigo.
I wouldn't say "lashed out" I would just say that they pointed out the mistake.

 

[Loopy]

Some of the internet sites covering this mistake are using words like NT 'lashing out'. It's not really helping the situation when other sites are using inflammatory words like that.

Yeah and they shouldn't because Ninja Theory was not lashing out, all they are doing is pointing out that its a fake review.
