Eurogamer gives Gravity Rush a 9. Reviewer doesn't even know Japanese.

[QUOTE="peterw007"]

I love how Eurogamer reviewed it without actually knowing what the story was about.

It really speaks volumes about their reviewing quality.

lol yep, that is pretty silly.

My beef with Eurogamer is that they do those stupid Lens of Truth comparisons with Digital Foundry, everyone in their right mind knows the differences are too minimal to even be noticed or care about, but they do it just to get fanboys to their site for ad revenue hits. It just makes them look unprofessional IMO.

I think if EG knew Japanese or understood anything about the story, they would give this game a 5percech

1. You mean for doing something that most Japanese developers do? Yeah, okay, buddy.

2. So you're speaking out of ignorance.

3. As I stated in my reply to #1, Japanese developers usually don't sub their games. Which is where these things called publishers step in. They do the subbing and dubbing, not developers.

2. Yup

3. So then the Publisher is stupid then.

I don't want to drag this out but... seriously? There isn't much incentive for Japanese developers or publishers to put English subs in their games if they're not being published in English speaking nations. There aren't many English only speaking importers out there. It would be a waste of money and time for them to do that. That would be stupid.

[QUOTE="lordreaven"] 1. Again, they're stupid, just becasue you do something alot does not mean it's intelligent.

2. Yup

3. So then the Publisher is stupid then.

It is BEING translated for the WESTERN release. What is so hard to understand about that? You don't see many Western games show up with Japanese subtitles before they're published in Japan, do you? And we will be playing it. Well, I will because I'm buying a Vita for this.

Why? Not one person so far has said the storyline's bad or anything close to the stereotypical stories that are in many Japanese games.

[QUOTE="lordreaven"] The game is coming out in the west, right? If so then it SHOULD have a translation. If not, then why did that Eurogamer bloke review it and why does it matter what he thinks of it if 70% of us here won't play it?lordreaven

There's no indication the reviewer used any of that.

I'm sure if he did, he would have stated that he did.

[QUOTE="lordreaven"] " No English subtitles in any of the available versions." That is what you said. So I originally said what if he REVIEWED a Early stage translation version, or had a Story guide (Like what Total Biscuit recieved for FF XIII-2). Now your saying there will be an English dub. But at the same time slam the Eurogamer reviewer for not knowing Japansese, even though he MAY have a translation, or a reviewer guide.lordreaven

He didn't have either. He didn't understand the story whatsoever, he said as much. Yes, there will be an English dub. That has no bearing on him reviewing a game with a story he couldn't and didn't understand.

Anyone know the download size of GR ?
