Famitsu sucks

Then why do you judge games based on, as far as I can tell, just the score so often?

When did I ever say that I judge games based on scores? I'll point out if someone gives a good game a crappy score (like this thread), but I never decide on whether or not I'm going to buy a game based off of a score alone.

OOH, you read SEVERAL REVIEWS! GREAT sample to decare that they have badly written and scored reviews on, yup!

Oh that's right, I just happened to stumble upon the bad reviews, right?

Also... that first paragraph reads to me "I look at scores a lot. I also read some of the review, but not all of it, and then judge the review on this badly flawed sampling of what it says". Sure gives me reason to listen to you complain about another score that is "too low". Yup.

You read it like that because you are an imbecile. Think what you want. You and others like you (i.e. Darunia, nickdaddyg) are too stubborn to listen to reason.

Uhh... you base opinions of games more on previews and news than on reviews? Are you sane at all?

Not even remotely sensible. Reviews are FAR, FAR better sources of accurate info about how a game actually plays than anything else short of playing it yourself... you can't judge games based on news and previews! Previews are innacurate and forgive games their faults in hopes they will be fixed...

Here we go again. ABF taking a note from Darunia by only taking parts of what someone says and twisting them around because that's the only way you're able to rebut in an argument. Very said.

Here's how it brakes down. Pay close attention now, because I know how hard it is for you to comprehend what people write:

1. First I read previews, impressions, and articles on games to get info on what they are about and how they play.

2. The next thing I do is wait for reviews to come around and what I usually do is skip past all of the useless info on the game (because I already know what it's about; refer to point #1) and get right to the meat of the review: how the final version of the game looks, sounds, and plays.

Now then, was that too difficult to understand? I could bring out the sign language again if you're still having trouble with this.

Oh, and no decent review would say "F-Zero is futuristic racer. Here's some stuff from the manual and my dumb comments". Sorry. And this one doesn't. You just completely misrepresent it to suit your version of the facts... because its a well written review, its just got a (IMO) wrong opinion of the gameplay fun factor and graphics of the game. But that's okay, because they explain both well enough for me to see that those aren't things I'd see as problems and indeed F-Zero X is a great game.

You're right about one thing: no decent review would state those things, which is precisely why Gamespot's reviews are so bad.
