Famitsu Monster Hunter 3 Review Score 40/40

[QUOTE="TaMuK711"]

[QUOTE="Rocky32189"]Famitsu gives perfect scores to most of the games that are phenomenons in Japan, regardless of quality. Lets wait for a real review.Rocky32189

Every game Famitsu has given a perfect score that is released in the U.S. has scored at least AAA, a few have scored AAAA here as well.

What say you?

No, it's not. "Regardless of quality" insinuates that they give perfect scores to crappy games. EVERY perfect score they have given out has been a AAA or higher title in the U.S. Regardless of your opinion on Nintendogs, it's a AAA titile, sorry to break it to you.

sorry but your argument dies when we notice other dragon quests didnt get perfect scores, and other final fantasys didnt get perfect scores in famitsu either.how could that be?perhaps because the games were actually better this time?a bit of comon sense here.intro94

AAA is a very good game, while a perfect score is only given to the best games of all timeRocky32189

Incorrect. GTAIV is the glaring example, as it's not even the best in the series.

Regardless, it's all down to personal opinion, however, discrediting famitsu scores just because they gave a popular japan title is ridiculous, because every perfect there scores very well over here.

My point still stands. How do I know if Monster Hunter 3 is as ground breaking as Ocarina of Time or it's simply a good (yet flawed) game like Nintendogs? You can't honestly believe that both these games are in the same league, do you? Yet, according Famitsu they are equal.

I don't discredit them just because all their perfect scores are given to titles that sell well and are popular among Japanese gamers. But it certainly seems like it's more than just a coincidence.

So the review LOSES credibility because the game its calling "perfect" also happens to be insanely popular? Could it be that perfect games also tend to be popular because you know, they are perfect and all?

I wouldnt call 11 games getting a perfect rating over the life of the publication excessive. Id go so far to say that there have been more than 11 popular games since famitsu began. Im just gonna say its a good time to be a gamer.

MHFU is in my top 3 games of all time next to games like Starcraft and Planescape:Torment. Its mind bogglingly awesome and its a friggin psp game. Now famitsu gives MH3 a 40/40? No-brainer. Done. How much convincing do you need to drop 40 bucks anyway?

Hey thats awesomre I got some friends interested in this so to hear its good is great encouragement to me.
