And it deserves every award it got.

Hard disagree on most of that. Graphics and music were good, though.

I don't really follow Famitsu. Do they generally prefer Japanese titles? Surprised it wasn't Baldur's Gate.

I heard they have such an absurd bias towards japanese games that they are not to be taken seriously for anything except that.

Yes.

this game was amazing!!! Playing Rebirth keeps reminding me of 16 in a good way, I appreciate 16 more. Definitely going to revisit it in the future

Famitsu is a Japanese magazine centered around JP gaming.

I heard they have such an absurd bias towards japanese games that they are not to be taken seriously for anything except that.

There is no bias, they're just Japanese focused. When they review western games, they usually give great scores. Spider-Man 2 was almost a perfect score and scored higher than Mario Wonder

best RPG? it is action game, not RPG. how it could won what? was it only nominee?
best graphics? it has good graphics, but it should be consistence, which it wan't.
best music? easy, yes.
best voice acting? it was good, can't say it was best. Spider Man 2 had great voice acting.
best character?

 

[Danja]

Definitely wasn't the best RPG of last year? is it even one?

Graphics were good until they weren't at times but they definitely tried to push the hardware in areas so, I'll let this slide

Best Music easily

Voice acting is here nor there

As a SF fan, I'd have given best online and best action game. And in my case GOTY too, I think ToTK doesn't deserve it.

 

[FatKaz]

I just love how angry this game makes some people.

Like clive kicked them in balls or something.

Hmm. That's interesting take. I am currently playing FF7 Remake because of the praise Rebirth got. I want to play FF16 so bad but I have little time for gaming lately and I want to choose carefully. Do you think FF16 is better than FF7 Rebirth?

It's definitely not better than Rebirth. But it is a very good game.

Maybe you should probably just hold off till the final DLC is out and enjoy everything.

It’s a lot better in some ways, but overall Rebirth is better.

Hmmm I started it but never finished it. I wonder if that will happen with Rebirth.

 

[Gamernyc78]

So many damn games and so little time.

 

[anonpuffs]

it didnt deserve best rpg, it was barely an rpg at all. should have been in the action category

 

[Gediminas]

So many damn games and so little time.

and people were complaining about 2024. i had barely a minute to work and it is not trash games, it is quality games, even 80 opencritic games are blast to play.

Seriously, idk if Sony ramped up and released more games idk wtf I'd do. I'd muss out on alot. I'm good all around with what has been releasing and the timing.
