So the review scores range between 6 and 9.5, most are around 8. Seems like Polygon's 9.5 is the only one above 9.

Polygon gave it the highest score? Why am I not surprised. The censorship alone probably put it on a pedastal for them.

In fact, I think I even found their lastest staff photo:

I cannot confirm whether or not they're burning Bayonetta 2 again off-screen.

FWIW, this review was not written by Arthur Gies.

Atlus is one of the most consistently excellent developers in the industry.

Have they developed a game that was even just mediocre in the last ten years? Everything I've played has been superb.

They have made mediocre games namely:

Snowboard Kids
Deep Labyrinth
Touch Detective
Luminous Arc
Citizens of Earth

I can go on here....

@Socar They localized those games. I don't think they made even one of those!

^ There's Citizens of Earth though that they did publish.

I'm ranting at this because if I say Nintendo is the king of gaming is bad but yet, praising a third party isn't a bad thing, then yeah, I wanna insult back.

@Socar That wasn't there's either. They also localized that too.

@Socar Like Spoony pointed out, they didn't develop those games. If you publish a lot of other companies' games, you're bound to get a handful of mediocre titles over time.

The last less than stellar game they developed was Radiant Historia back in 2010, imo, and even that is beloved by many people with good taste.

@Ralizah Radiant Historia was mediocre??? Says who? That was my top 5 DS game and everyone I seen praised it!

Sorry less then stellar. You didn't say mediocre.

@Spoony_Tech I know. I just didn't really care for it. Very limited OST, unlikable characters, and a plot that wasn't terribly interesting to me.

Battle system was decent, though.

EDIT: I actually did originally say mediocre, but edited it afterward. It's not really mediocre. It just didn't appeal to me.

I actually don't think much of Chrono Trigger, either.

Actually, on the unfriended front, I'm going to have to add you back to my friends list. It disappeared after my last SD card lost all of its data.

@Ralizah except this game isn't fully developed by Atlus and is also collaborated by Nintendo as well.

Even so, Nintendo was the one that came up with the idea of this game to happen so thank them for doing so.

I smell a sense of third party fanboyism here. Praising Nintendo is bad but praising Atlus is good because of what? Third party logic?

@Socar The only thing Nintendo did for this game was lend out the Fire Emblem name and for that Atlus has to bow to their every whim.

Oh and yes we love Atlus almost as much as you blindly love Nintendo and won't give 3rd parties a chance.

Atlus was pretty much on their own here - Nintendo's involvement seemed to be limited to advisory and QA - the same story several other developers Ninty's worked with recently gave during their "co-development" cycles. It's an Atlus game. Heck, judging from some interviews and dev blogs I read last year, it sounds more like a particular Atlus dev team had kind of been left to their own devices for two full years until they finally started showing the new trailers, and they were...at least 60% done by then? Maybe 70%?

It's an Atlus game. Nintendo's just publishing.

Granted, Atlus' 3rd party publishing seems to be more of a US thing. The Japanese parent company mostly published its in-house games as far as I could find. Not to mention that "parent company" changed hands at least twice in the past 5 years, so that complicates things further. The point is that the guys who sit in their Tokyo office and make their games? They know what they're doing.

And for the record, the only majorly bad games they've ever produced were some license games, the newest of which was Battle B-Daman, of all things.

...and Shin Megami Tensei: Nine for the Xbox...

@Spoony_Tech @CanisWolfred Oh this is great. After beating Devil Survivor on the 3DS absolutely hating it and that I never want to play Shin Megami ever again, now you say that I don't give third parties a chance.

And again, you're wrong as Nintendo was the one that started the idea to begin with. They pitched it to Atlus at first but then Atlus mocked at Nintendo and said that they were not "enthusiastic" to make the game. It was only a year later that Atlus felt miserable about earlier and decided to make Shin Megami X Fire Emblem.

Wow....even for a game like this, credit isn't given to Nintendo at all. What's also sad is that this is more of a Shin Megami game than an actual crossover between Shin Megami X Fire Emblem.

EDIT: @artwark - Oh, wait...I get it now. I missed an obvious giveaway in the third paragraph. Now I feel dumb, that particular post is actually very....parse-able. The rest of my comment still stands, however.

I'm sorry, I just don't understand what your point is. I'll admit that it's my fault for jumping in midway and replying to the only part I felt I could add to. With that said, you do seem quite...passionate about something here. I just keep getting mixed messeges when I try to figure out what that is. I do think it might be easier to understand if you dail the passion down a bit, however. Just an honest suggestion.

@Socar It's an Atlus game, so, no, Nintendo gets no credit for it.

I like both Atlus and Nintendo, but Atlus' efforts of late have generally been of much higher quality.

@CanisWolfred The ONLY reason he's commenting here is because of Nintendo's involvement. Otherwise he could care less about this game.

Nintendo may have come up with the idea but beyond lending the Fire Emblem characters they did nothing which is why its 90% SMT and 10%Fire Emblem and that SMT really isn't 90% either as this just seems like a whole new game.
