Famitsu sucks

[A Black Falcon]

Like when? If I complain about a score then I will also complain about the written review. The score is the summation of the written review, and is a good way to start with complaining or prasing a review.

Are you trying to deny you complain about reviews (focusing on scores that are "too low" to you) fairly frequently?

It is a very poorly-written review. The reviewer just complains about the graphics and simplifies the game to its very basic aspects without going into more depth. It is very obvious that the reviewer didn't spend much time on the game, or the review itself for that matter.

Sure Gamespot has done better, but still, its not badly written... its okay. You just disagree with his bad points so you've got to find other problems with it.

Wow that... totally doesn't prove your point. You were agreeing with Nintendarse that their reviews consist of only two or three words, even though he was talking about Famitsu... which has absolutely nothing to do with your reply right there.

That was just to show decent examples both styles. And why I like one over the other... in response to all your complaints about Gamespot's style...

Oh, and I've never said IGN or Gamespot use super short reviews... that complaint is aimed at multiple-reviewer mags, not IGN or Gamespot.

IGN usually covers everything that is needed to be covered in the review without spending too much time on useless instruction manual information like Gamespot does. They add some humor in their reviews (which is always a nice change of pace from Gamespot's terribly boring reviews), sometimes funny, sometimes not. But we've already established that you have no sense of humor.

I'd say taht Gamespot's to the point and more professional-reading reviews are a nice change of pace after more IGN "humor".

And all we established about my sense of humor is that it doesn't see many of the things you find really funny all that funny. That's called "difference of opinion"... ever heard of it? :)

So you actually have EGM issues from seven years back? No? Well I do, and back then each review was four paragraphs long, one for each reviewer. They perfected the review format over the years, but there was nothing better than it back then.

The only two or three issues of EGM I own are from between late '95 and mid '96 (one of them is the Spaceworld issue... with previews of all the N64 games...). So I know that four-reviewer, paragraph-long-review style as EGM's. As I said before. And I also said I've read a few issues of it from time to time since then, and have noticed the reviews were a bit longer... one longer review, and two even shorter ones... but they are still quite abrupt.
