Famitsu usually gives good games 37/40 but 33/40 seems like a flop

wow people here are basing it off Famitsu's review. Please their reviews fluctuate. They gave Blue Dragon 37 and it got 6.0 averaging 78% on GR. They gave metroid prime a low score yet it was high AAA and GOTY here. LO maybe AA here. 33/40 = AA.

LOL!...err...you wern't joking? If you were being serious then you mean true gamer that is over 30 years old. BD was horrible for a modern era RPG. Rightfully got 6.0.

See. This is a perfect exampel of inconsistancies. They gave Gundam on PS3 a 33 or 34. Cmon, LAIR was effin rubbish. LO will get decent(not great) scores here. My point is you CANNOT determine how LO will score here by Famitsu.

Anti-Gamer

Hey woah I dont care what Sakaguchi has done in the past several years. He is still one of the most legendary rpg makers. Though that wont warrent me to buy LO he has created several master pieces. I know I'm sure thankful for his work.

Thing is its not the work of just 1 man that makes a great game its the team.

Famitsu gets bought offby bigger companies but a 33/40 isn't a score that a buyer would want, hence Famitsu were being honest.

Its a Japanese game and Famitsu gives it below 35?..

Thats really not good, this kind of games usually get higher then that and still flop outside Japan..

Lets hope Famitsus review means nothing, which is usually the case.

and i care what you think why? i think anyone with Kratos in their name is not fit to judge a game like BD.

It's going to play like a JRPG from 7 years ago.

And Final Fantasy doesn't? Atleast LO is combining twitch based things from games like Shadow Hearts, and the battle field layouts you find in Suikoden.

I think it looks fantastic. Unique story, great gameplay derived from two of my favorite JRPGS (Suikoden/Shadow Hearts), and a great sound composer.

Let's remember that Blue Dragon scored amazingly in Japan, but not so much in the west. Where japan seemed to see classic, old-school RPG awesomeness, the likes of gamespot saw generic RPG storytelling.

My god. . The depravity of review worship has reached new lows. Wait, no. It's always been this bad. If all you do is rant and rave about reviews in other countries--or hell even here--you probably have better things to do. Like actually gaming or school work or, I don't know, watching your kids. If you're going to obsess about numbers, join the god damn math club. Stop filling forums with flaming trash aimed at insulting properties and people.AncientDozer

Who ranted and raved about anything? He simply posted the scores a game had received in the japanese market in order to prompt some discussion on a game a lot of people have forgotten about lately.

The only person ranting is you.
