Famitsu review scores (2/12/13)

This week's Famitsu reviews include a near-perfect score for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

[smashcrashbash]

So it's between this, Bioshock Infinite and GOW Ascension.Hmmmm. Tough choice.

[SAE]

Buy the game. Finish it. Sell it. Buy another one.

That's what i do ^^

[Myst]

Couldn't s/he just rent it from Gamefly or even in town video rental stores instead perhaps for five days or more then return it ? lol

[SAE]

Agree, But no rental stores in my country. Besides, This way i support the developers and play all the games i want. The people i sold them the games never buy new ones so it's not like i'm preventing a profit for the developers..

[showtimefolks]

For me is bioshock and god of war for sure, MGR not so sure. Demo for MGR didn't really sell me on the game

[SilentNegotiator]

Find a place that rents games for 6-7 hours at a time and save a fortune.

lol jk

[NewMonday]

all of the above

can't miss any of them

[ReservoirDog316]

You can trade games too. There's a really good system for trading games here:

blasphemy to the ears of a game collector!!!

[ChrisW]

"...its nice to see one high profile release surpass somebody’s expectations."

There must have been some mediocre expectations for 6s and 7s to surpass expectations.

[Godz Kastro]

Your days are numbered my friend, enjoy it while it last..im not hating, just saying :)

[SAE]

Why is that Godz Kastro?. lol
I may die today though. Because of today. It's 14Feb. It's the revolution day in my country :D

If i didn't comment tomorrow it means i'm dead :P

[EVILDEAD360]

Lol @ the game getting a great score and people still hating on it.

Evil

[Gohadouken]

Dunno , it's not even the same month for all 3 games , you could easily pick MGR in feb , then Gow in march , then Bioshock a week later after its release in april .

[smashcrashbash]

Yeah not so easy for me.Don't exactly have a ton of money to spend on games even when there are spaces between them. Got to make my choices and stick with them

@ SAE.Don't like to do that either. But I will keep that in mind

[-Ikon-]

MASSIVE!!

"Now your just being NASTY!!!"

All jokes aside I cant flippin wait.. Been waiting 4 years for this game.. MGS + P* match made in heaven.

LET'TER RIP!

[yeahokchief]

1. Preorder all of them from best buy and effectively pay $40 per title.

You'll have to sign up for gamersclub unlocked which is $15.

So hey if you only buy 3 games this year (and who does that honestly. you will buy more) you'll effectively spend $45 per title.

2. Now if you were smart like me you would have purchased best buy gift cards when they had a deal on them where if you buy $50 store credit you got an extra $10 card for free.

3. Had you also combined this deal with a 5% cash back on your credit card for the quarter you would have gotten even more savings.

4. Then if you had made sure to only put the $5 minimum, you could pay even less because best buy offers price matching against the other retailers including online. So if amazon has it for even less you might get even more savings.

Currently I'm preordered for 5 games for 2013 and i'm spending $33 before any price-matching i match to pick up each games on release day.

So really if you had done your homework ahead of time then you wouldn't have to eat can after can of dogfood until your tears smell like dogfood.

I imagine this is the type of nonsense that corporations do to avoid taxes only more lucrative and rewarding. This is why they should eliminate loopholes/deductions. Otherwise we're just going to play the game and the ignorant will suffer. Whatever.

[Honky Kong]

I love it!!

[Campy da Camper]

Or just go spend 60 bucks and buy the damn game lol. I'd rather spend 10 more dollars and have the 3 hours of my life back from doing all that.

[erathaol]

No Flawless Victory! Bu******!

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

[rezzah]

Im getting all day one!

[fermcr]

In all honesty Famitsu reviews are worth next to nothing. I'll wait for more credible reviews.

[Mr-SellJack]

well it depends on what you like but overall GOW is the best of the three

[fermcr]

Actually no... in my opinion, Bioshock Infinite will most likely be the best of the three and most likely be one of the best games this year... witch doesn't mean GOW Ascension is going to be a bad game, but probably won't be as good as Bioshock Infinite... but to be sure, better wait for their releases and judge for my self.

[Tontus]

Agreed. God of War: Ascension is going to be one of the best games of this year! I don't think Bioshock Infinite will be as great, doubt it will match the first game but hopefully it'll be better than the second. I don't care for Metal Gear Rising after that horrendous demo.

[xtremeimport]

I really just dont have any interest in this game.
haven't since it was announced and all the video I've seen on it haven't turned me on.

Good to know its another solid game though.

[finbars75]

I think i will pass on this one.I only play true MetalGear games not a Bayonetta and Vanquish knockoff.The demo really represents the franchise for the worst and gets away from what true form of the series is.Im sure you guys will love it but in my onion only this is total rubbish and a slap in the face.The reviews that have come in are fom the western part of the world and they love there fast paced silly gameplay.

[IAmLee]

GoW. everyday.

[GadgetGooch]

All

[Blastoise]

Wow incredible score for Metal Gear Rising, shame Famitsu's review's are completely all over the place...

[asmith2306]

I didnt like the demo for this at all, don't know how it scored so high.

[Enemy]

Can't wait to buy the PS3 version with no screen tearing and v-sync.

[TongkatAli]

Platnuim studios : D

[Joegrine20]

*games

[Bathyj]

Hmm, I really should play that demo...

[DivineAssault]

Metal gear is doing pretty good so far with the critics.. The demo was decent & loved the fact u can slice up/destroy most of the environments.. Might get it if I keep seeing good reviews for it

[ChipChipperson]

Awesome, I can't wait for next week to get Rising.

[Root]

I'm not doubting Metal Gear Rising...I'm really not. It is probably amazing

HOWEVER

It's Famitsu they always give Japanese games nearly perfect scores. Resident Evil 6, FF13, the new dmc (it's still japanese at heart as a franchise)

[Batzi]

INB4 9.5 on IGN! The game is AMAZING! Rising that is..

[Kingdom Come]

Don't get your hopes up...

[NeXXXuS]

Platinum wont disappoint.

[Heavenly King]

mmm...I did not like the demo at all. The camera is a piece of crap like in every other PG games (with the exception of Vanquish). It is way to close in order to see what the hell is happening around you. And the stealth is implemented in a quite weird manner. Also the pacing does not seems to be that good.

And the fact that famitsu gives great scores to most games (including FFXIII) does not gives a bonus in my books either.

[NateCole]

Any MGS fan will get this game. Even it's gets -10 from reviews i will still get it.

[SlyFamous02]

I doubt that.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Not me. I consider myself a pretty big MGS fan. However, I thought the demo was horrible, so no buy from me.

[Kinger8938]

I shant be, not metal gear to me

[finbars75]

Not this guy.I love this franchise but this game is just terrible and any MGS fan will pass on this knowing this is nothing like the MGS series.It can get a 10/10 and still will never reach my collection of games even if its on sale for $10.

[ALLWRONG]

I think most people know why you all are passing.

Starts with multi and ends with platform.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I still have no interest in this title regardless of the franchise/devs it's affiliated with. I feel there are stronger releases coming far too close to this one, that push this title to the backseat!

[Evil_Ryu]

to many good games coming out...must resist

[BattleAxe]

That game for the WiiU called Tank! Tank! Tank! really should have been called TankU.

[REALgamer]

I guess you could say it...tanked?

[clintagious650]

This is not your typical mgs game so no just because it has metal gear in the name its not going to get all metal gear solid fans to go out & buy this but if your a metal gear solid fan & a fan of ninja gaiden, dmc, god of war type games then you will prolly pick this up. It definitely is a fun & badazz game but definitely not your typical solid snake metal gear type game which mgs fans love so much.

[Braid]

Of course they're going to give Rising a perfect score, why the hell did I take my time to click the link anyway...

[OmniSlashPT]

Almost as good as Nintendo Dogs!

[auen1]

wow! almost a perfect score. who was the a-hole that gave it a 9?

[ybadr]

That's a great Famitsu score, gonna give this game a shot.

Anyway, it smells Kojima in there, even if he's not directly involved !

[MontyQ]

cant wait to see mgs hotdog schnitzlefest uber 2013

[Rampaged Death]

Rising is going to be awesome. Contender for action game of the year.

[Relientk77]

I'm still on the fence for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

[badkolo]

the controls stink, the camera is wack, maybe it was just me, but it just felt clumsy, the stealth is weird, the game itself feels great and looks great but something was off

[Munnkyman]

Looking forward to rising
