Famitsu gave Crackdown a 34 out of 40.  Discuss.  :D

EDIT: I'm not defending Crackdown, like some of you seem to think.   I'm just posting this to get your thoughts on the Japanese actually liking a game that doesn't star anime people.

The funny thing is, if you took the cows that are about to post in here "GS scores are what matter" (though they'd be right), and looked in their post history, you could probably find them citing Famitsu or some other Japanese rag.

Well, lets do somt math.. (i dont know the awnser.. i'm using this to write it down)

40-34 =6
6 x 2.5 =15
100-15 = 85
85 = 8.5 ... and people say famitsu is brutal with it's scoring...

I say gamespot should be japans standard on american games before they come out there.. like we use famitsu.. GS is brutal.... BRUTAL.

Well, I'm not using Famitsu to say Crackdown is good or anything.  I haven't played it, so I wouldn't know.

I'm just posting this because I didn't think the Japanese were capable of liking games that weren't games with strange anime people or perverted games like DOAX2.  They actually enjoyed an American, open-world action game.

Yeah. Exactly. It flopped here. Just remember this when you're defending Motorstorm or Lair or another PS3 exclusive by using another site's rating.

7.8 was ultra harsh for Crackdown...I know its not a great game but common...I atleast expected it to hit an 8...I was shocked more so than the Zelda incident.... :?

It's a Japanese game magazine.  Probably the most respected in the country.

This has nothing to do with you. It has to do with Cows in the future trying to call GS bias.

Ah, right.  It seemd like the guy who posted "It got 7.8" thinks I'm defending Crackdown, and I didn't know if you were building on that or not.

I think the TC is trying to say is that everybody is a little shocked Famitsu scored the game higher than a 15.

It also seems like the 360 has alot of high scoring games in Japan now.


edit: changed score from 10 to 15 so the idiots don't get confused which score system I'm using (I could just see some idiot thinking I scored Crackdown a 10 on the GS rating system)

I second that. For a grand I'll never post on GS again. Or if you want, you can buy my fanboyism on a basis of, per day, per week, per month, or forever for different amounts. So if the Cows for instance have a big game being released in a certain month drop me some money and you'll actually have a well informed individual that will be able to Damage Control any flop that might occur.

Yeah, I guess they'll surprise you sometimes. Remember that week where Gears ranked #7 in sales? Where the hell did that come from, I thought they hated games like that?

Yeah, the game's better than 7.8. The Famitsu score is actually just right - 8.5. It's not quite AAA, but it's a real time-eater. Addictive as all hell.

Well, maybe because Gears is in 3rd person and not 1st.

I've never cared for what Famitsu have rated,and this further concludes my line of thinking,i don't care if it's the most respested Japanese gaming mag,if it gives crackdown that then there is something wrong with the Japanese imo (no offence to any japanese people here,if there are any :P)

I actually prefer Famitsu's scoring in general, although I have never ever used them here (though I do use gamerankings sometimes to justify things), GS is for SW, thats the way it should be. I still like crackdown, even it got a 7.something here. 7 isn't bad really.

Edit: I should say that I like the demo, I haven't played the full game yet.

Famitsu also gave DOAX 35/40.

But then again, you could argue back with Gamespot giving THPS3 a 10, so it works both ways.

The demo is pretty sweet.  If there were one game I would like to beg everyone to try personally though, I'd go with Viva Pinata.  That game is underrated IMO even with an AA score.
