When does this shit get fun? Is Xenogears literally the only good game these people have made in their lives? The funny part is that unfinished fucking game was more fun than this.

Main story can range 50 to 80 alone and 100+ hours if you do all those sidequests.
And you get a lot more of arts on the way, if you think that you just need auto attack you going get fucked fast.
Also Spike aura is going eat you alive.
Levi Bailey
>When does this shit get fun?
Never. You will probably drop it in 20 hours or so when you get bored of the sidequests that you will be doing all of the fucking time. And once you are done with one town's sidequests, you get to progress the story for a hour or two until you hit the next town with million sidequests to be done.
It's one of the most dull JRPGs I've played, and is a quite good proof that JRPGs are not that good anymore. You ask anyone the best JRPGs of the last couple of years and most will say this and Nier. Both are fucking awful games when you really think about it. JRPG fags are delusional.

>listening to the nintengaf shills It's a boring offline mmo with an extremely generic story.
Benjamin Morgan
I think you should stick to phone games. Your attention span is too short for RPGs.
Aaron Taylor
I'm playing through the game right now and just beat the octopus like mechon before another one popped up and kidnapped the girl or guy I don't even remember
I guess I haven't played anything so far right?
John Moore
Not him, but why should I continue playing agame if they can't even make it interesting in the first ten hours? That's not an investment I want to make when all I'm going off of is internet people saying "omg it's the best thing ever!".
William Nelson
Man, at least Nier let me press buttons and fight. This game is auto attacking. There is no sense of control or fun. It feels like I'm just moving the character but the game does the rest of the fun shit.
Ayden Adams

Gavin Wood
What? You have fucking attacks that you choose. What is with this meme that it's all auto attack? Is this just low quality b8 or are you people this fucking retarded?
Michael Morris
Exactly. Now you're feeling just how boring your MMO crap is. >implying TB JRPG don't have more skill and strategy than this shitfest
What do you know about strategy in this game if you didn't even get far enough?
Anthony Mitchell
i've only played XCX, but goddam the combat system seems so clunky. I don't play that many rpgs so i'm used to either pokemon-esque turn based or real time shit like in an action rpg. this real-time but not shit feels so weird
Eli Bell
>switch to JP VA
Samuel Cruz
Why are you asking serious questions of someone trotting out years-old shitposts?

You literally don't have to do a single sidequest you autistic fuck.

Have fun grinding then

Camden Barnes
>mfw instead of music like this for XCX youtu.be/GoRFOtdaHOA we get dumb anime shit from Sawano aimed at anime fans with underdeveloped music tastes

Jacob Adams
Not him, but technically not true. I breezed through the game so I'm more than capable of telling you that every boss from Valak Mountains onwards will be either way too high level or so high level that you won't be able to hit it. Granted, I fucking suck and found out after I finished the game that you can craft gems that give you 100% hit chance. But really, I had to dedicate a couple of hours to grinding monkeys in Gaur Plains before fighting the boss in the Arena of Prison Island 2.
Michael Jenkins
>grinding
Nigga you are supposed to get the side quests on town and do whatever the fuck you need to do.
Andrew Turner
You have to, otherwise enjoy pressing B right next to your dead teammates all important battles
And NG+ doesn't reset your level. So he beat the main game before lv 55
Robert Parker
>my characters die during battle so that means I'm underleveled
Dominic Stewart
It's more like if you do sidequests you'll be overpowered and the game won't be fun.
Samuel Jackson
CAN'T HAVE A RAINBOW WITHOUT REYN
Carter Davis
The only way you could possibly have an issue is if you actively avoid combat whenever possible, and you shouldn't even be playing games if you do that. Doing even a moderate amount of quests at the intended levels puts you well above the target level for the plot.
Thomas Morris
How about level up you damn arts and put gems?
Robert Rogers
Using a Gecko code to reduce my XP gain to 1/3rd was the best choice I've ever made. Do all the sidequests you want, and always stay just a little bit underlevel.
>mfw beating lv. 35 reckless godwin at lv. 30
Caleb Gutierrez
it's definitely slow in the beginning. I thought it picked up after the intro sequences and the first big death, a couple hours in
Nicholas Jenkins
>i have to gimp the game to make it fun
Lincoln Anderson
So i've been meaning to play this for awhile now. Is there any serious changes/downsides to the 3ds version that I should be aware of? I'd like to have a physical copy, but if the wii version is noticeably better in someway ill probably just emulate it.
Sebastian Gutierrez
XB and XBX feature cool-down based arts combat with auto-attack to help fill up your arts faster.
XBX is much better in combat IMO because you have to consider your soul voices and skills to bring along with your arts based on the class your playing.
In XB, your main source of damage is chain attack and seeing the future gets you out of most binds pretty easily (these don't exist in XBX), so XB is much easier overall.
If you've ever played an MMORPG like WoW, you'd understand combat is more similar to that except positioning is much more important and you also have the break+topple+daze mechanic to give you the best amount of damage.
To OP, try WoW or MMOs like WoW, this game is like WoW even down to talent trees and whatnot.
Chase Moore
Why does everyone look so fucking retarded in this game?
Brody Jones
All graphics. It's kind of a shame to play a game where entering the first big area is breathtaking on a 3DS screen at 240p
Adrian Carter
>shite vocals vs based english vocals in Black Tar
Do you even need some protection?
Thomas Myers
Because Monolith Soft is fucking awful when it comes to character models.
Parker Evans
Just graphics.
But, you get a model viewer and jukebox. Your pick.
Samuel Jenkins
It manages to looks worse. You get some unlockable stuff on the main menu with play coins.
Levi Campbell
Graphics and not being able to switch between English and Japanese audio IIRC.
Daniel Long
Yeah if you didn't love it in the first 3 hours you probably won't like the rest of the game. If you force yourself it just won't be enjoyable.That being said, it is definitely one of my favorite games of all time desu.
Anthony Jenkins
>one fight >OMG THIS GAME IS SO BORING HOLY SHIT
Bentley Bailey
>switches to JP VA
Ryan Carter
What'd you think of X? XC is pretty cool but XCX is my GOTY 2015. I'd even say it's in the top ten of the best RPGs Nintendo has ever put out.
Jack Watson
>hate the combat, eventually get used to it >amazing soundtrack >overworld certainly gives you a sense of adventure in terms of scale, but it's mostly flat and kind of dull >character faces look off >initially laugh at the OI SHULK 'OW YA DOIN' THERE, LOIK, M8 but start to warm up to it It's got its flaws, but I enjoyed it. One of the few games where I genuinely liked the entire cast. They'd be fun to hang around.
Hudson Fisher
I never got this argument. I mean at the end of the day you're still having fun right?
Jacob Young
>this is a wii game.jpg I can't get over how Shulk looks. It's like he came from a 64DD game. I don't usually care about graphics but god damn it's so hard not to notice.
Zachary Morgan
Not him. X was GOTY for sure, and I played that game 10 hours minimum every day for the entire month, right on time for the New Year. The main reason why I would prefer the original is simply due to how underwhealming the story and events were. I'm far from a storyfag, but the game simply lacked oomph. Also fuck, 85 hours of PURE GRINDING to kill Telethia. FUCK. I felt like I was going to lose my fucking mind. I had a god damn list at my side with "Kill a minimum of 120 of X enemy for Y item" FUCKING FUCK Anyways, great game. Story or lack thereof makes the lasting appeal suffer
Brandon Butler
>artificial fun is now fun
Wyatt Wright
I was about to argue with you about every character being likable but then I realized I completely agree.
Luke Thomas
Oi m8s.
So I'm playing XBX right now and wondering who comes next after Gwin and Irina as recruitable party members?
Also playing as Partisan Eagle with the Adam Howden voice.
Kevin Reyes
What makes fun artificial? How can you artificially have fun?
Logan Rivera
you get new characters through sidequests, and not the main story
Gavin Kelly
Fun is just a buzzword when you can't actually think of any real reasons as to why the game is good, don't use it.
Jordan Brown
Not relevant to the argument at all, but skinner box MMO's are god-tier at getting people to play long after they've stopped enjoying the game itself. "It'll start being fun if I work for it, honest!"
That said, nothing wrong with modding a game to make it more fun for you.
Evan Rivera
Why they didn't make more vehicle like cars or bike , I have to wait for 6 chapter until I have to get a motherfucking skell
Landon White
Don't respond to anime girl faces, user.
Hunter Miller
great game. best played on dolphin
Owen Young
Small mercy that meme rockets and drop sensor gear made the grinding less tedious.
Jayden Cooper
Because once you get the Skell the world becomes a peanut. And the flying skell makes it a dust particle
Ayden Myers
I'm not arguing as to whether or not a game is good, I'm just asking what the problem is with modding a game to make it fun. I didn't like this game that much either, I did complete it though. Not going to be getting the sequel
Easton Adams
I don't hate any of the characters but I found Dunban to be a bit unpleasant, which is funny because a lot of people like him
Elijah Sanders
How do you deal with spike aura?
Jacob Richardson
The Skell is cool for combat but it makes exploring become boring. If anything I wish the skell came later.
Tyler Evans
OP here. If the combat was like Monster Hunter then it would be enjoyable. Auto attacking is shit and I am off to play a better game.
Tyler Miller
With anti-spike things
Parker Price
>using Shulk on a caffeine overdose Studious and Joker are your acceptable young options. I think the earliest recruits are Lao (automatic), Phog and some of the former dlc (all optional). Take Foggy Dilemma off the board and look around for affinity missions. The dlc characters don't show up on the main map like the others, so keep an eye out or read their quest descriptions.
Jordan Flores
>teehee I'll falseflag so the monster hunter fans get shit on! an epic plan!
Camden Cox
gems
Nolan Scott
Purge, Spike Defence gems, or topple. Some enemies have a permanent spike aura that you can't remove, and that's where the real headaches come in.
Joshua Fisher
I had the impression I was playing a mgs game ,because how much I sneaked on the enemies back to avoid the fight that were so dull
Jordan Perry
Metal face is Mumkhar Fiora is Face nemesis and holds the soul of Mechonis Shulk is already dead and a zombie possessed by Zanza, soul of Bionis Zanza is the bad guy wanting to restart the universe again Dickson betrays you Mechonis is destroyed
Did I miss anything?
Kevin Mitchell
the skell ruined the game for me. it made everything way too easy and the world gets 10x smaller
Sebastian Mitchell
I hate how aura seal lasts for such a short time. It honestly feels kind of useless.
Brody Sanders
Also L (joins after Lao).
Anthony Sanchez
Wow not even OP but asking for more active fight is falseflagging now ?
Luis Carter
Some of the most breathtaking areas look rather mediocre on the 3ds version. Also some fps drops later in the game.
I still beat it on the 3ds version and loved it, but only choose that if you can't play on wii/wii u/pc
Nathan Turner
>Switch to JP VA That's not the proper way to play Xenoblade Chronicles. British voice acting or nothing, you fucking mong.
