10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Skyrim

10. Skyrim Is The Only Western Game To Score Perfect 40 In Famitsu

Eastern markets are noted for being incredible unreceptive to Western game design. It's why the Xbox never caught on, why shooters are a fledgling market over there - and why even though The Elder Scrolls games are stat-crunching RPGs, they can't hold a candle to Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter or Final Fantasy when it comes to sales.

Regardless of that, cultural differences simply couldn't deny Skyrim's impeccable stature, and as such the renowned Japanese magazine Famitsu awarded it a full 40/40, putting Skyrim up there with Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid and Dragon Quest IX, to name three more perfect scorers.
