Any chance the Switch gonna get this? I really dont want to get a Wii U for a single game

Any chance the Switch gonna get this? I really dont want to get a Wii U for a single game

There's been rumours, but they're all very unfounded.

I'd wait until the reveal, personally.

Great game btw, I'm at 90.1% completion

Why did I trust Sup Forums on this. The characters are insufferable, so is the music. The combat is like wow but 500x worse.
Fuck me, waste of money.

Very likely. Also Cemu in ~2 years.

>combat is like WoW but 500 times worse
You didn't play it. Stop talking shit or I post Conan.

Shoo... SHOO.

Pretty much every noteworthy game on Wii U will get ported to Switch. With Nintendo being retarded enough to announce a new console two goddamn years before the thing would even release (and in the middle of the U's lifespan), they'll want to appease the "I'll wait for NX version" demographic..

I did. You have to select a skill using a fucking horizontal selector.
It was utter cancer.

I didn't like it either user, you're not alone.

Sup Forums is always wrong.

The director's wife always tweets if anything Xenoblade related will be coming.

She retweeted the January 12th switch direct.

I expect a Switch port and hopefully a tease of their next game

stop taking the bait

It's not bait in my case, I just didn't like it. Maybe I'm not enough of a weeb.

don't worry you'll be one of us soon

Optomistic Vetran opinion here, for what it's worth.
X is a godsend technical achievement for not only the Wii U, but open world's as a whole. It is jaw dropping in scale with both features, battle, and environment.
But, as a Xeno game..what you will expect to experience, especially if you played Gears or Blade beforehand, it won't be there. It doesn't have the story. It doesn't even have the dynamic cutscenes like in Blade where every scene feels either bad ass or emotional. They stand in place, move their hands and mouths and talk about nothing.

It SHOULD be bought if you already have a Wii U and want to push it to the limit.

It SHOULD NOT be bought as a fan of the older games unless you have 60 bucks to purely to support the company or something.

So how do I have fun with the combat? Every fight seems to take a fucking eternity to get through

Did they forget the console had a touch screen? Why did they do this?

You read this:

Basics:

Overdrive costs 3000 TP to activate and is made available upon completion of chapter 5. There are three key features of overdrive: the counter, its color, and the time remaining. The counter starts at zero and increases by one for each hit landed with an art up to a max of 100 and affects the potency of many of overdrive's bonuses (landing a healing art counts as a hit). The color of the counter is always that of the last art used. The time remaining is indicated by blocks to the right of the counter. Each block appears to be one second. If you have more time than blocks they will remain full until the time dips under 20s. Additionally a moment before overdrive expires the overdrive music fades, which can be a useful indicator that you need to extend it ASAP. Overdrive can be renewed by selecting the counter. This expends 3000 TP, has no associated animation, can be performed anytime even during art animations, and can trigger or complete soul voices.

Constant Bonuses:

Tertiary cool downs enabled

Secondary and tertiary cool downs fill no matter what weapon is equipped

Recast speed x (2.5+.05 x counter value)

Damage x (1 + .05 x counter value), only active when counter is orange, yellow, or purple

Enemy resistances decreased by counter value, only active when counter is orange, yellow, or purple

Color bonuses:

These occur when an art of a certain color is used regardless of the color of the counter

Green: Overdrive extended by .05 s x counter value

Blue: Overdrive extended by .1 s x counter value

Purple: Gain 10 tp x counter value per hit

Color combinations:

These occur when the counter is a certain color and an art of a specific color is used. The effect is applied to the art used.

Yellow to orange and orange to yellow: Overdrive counter does not increase

Green to any art that lands hits: Overdrive counter increases by 2x the number of hits

Purple to orange or yellow: extra appendage damage

Blue to Green: HP recovered

Blue to Purple: Effect duration increased by 25%

Orange to orange to orange: +10% EXP, up to a max of +200%

Yellow to yellow to yellow: +10% class EXP, presumably also maxed at +200%, but I haven't gotten it high enough to be certain

Party bonuses:

If more than one party member is in overdrive additional bonuses will apply.

2 members: +50% soul voice activation rate

3 members: +50 TP per hit with arts

4 members: gain super armor (all damage halved and immunity to mobility debuffs)

Other notes:

Sheathing your weapon cancels overdrive, as does swimming. Overdrive becomes available after chapter 5. Skell overdrive is a completely different beast. Many augments and skills affect overdrive. R+left on the D-pad tells your team to enter overdrive.

I'm playing with Lance and Sniper and it's alright. I expected to like it more since I have a fondness for destroying limbs.

What is generally considered the funnest weapons?

Is that girl bottomless in a WiiU game? What happened to nintendo

>Xenoblade is a Xeno game

Wew you lost me there lad

All of them are pretty fun, bar longsword

Emulate it. In a couple months CeMu will run it flawlessly with the strides it's making.

It's not even that good a game the, first one was the only one worth playing. XCX is a massively overrated open world game.Witcher III, MGSV and GTAV all trump it, and I'm sure FFXV will too.

Only games worth a Damn on the Wii U are Bayonetta 2, and MH3U, and now that it's moddable Smash 4. I guarantee you the first 2 will never come to Switch.

Only reason to buy a Switch desu, is to scalp it off to stupid drones.

Nintendo has an older brother called Nintendo of Japan

Did Conan even review XCX? I would imagine he'd tear it an even bigger asshole than he did FFXV, since FF is normie as fuck compared to the potato face weebfest that is Xenoblade.

Actually he would have liked it.

>X is a godsend technical achievement for open world's as a whole.

You need to play more open world games and stop drinking that Nintendo kool-aid,since that's not even close to being true.

pretty sure conan would have enjoyed XCX more than FF15

the game right off the bat has things that attempt to engage you

You've made it INCREDIBLY clear that you've never played any Xeno game but Xenoblade Chronicles.

Embarrassingly so.

And why would that be? XCX is nothing but a colossal waste of time,and far uglier than FFXV. At least the combat in XV is fun.

Isn't that just a collection of bullshots?

>
>I really dont want to get a Wii U for a single game
>tfw you bought the Wii U for a single game and Xenoblade X wasn't even originally it

>Elma is literally Takahashi having his chocolate cake and having his vanilla cake and eating them
He really liked those Xenosaga designs, huh.

But I have son, I'm not a poor fag who can only afford consoles.

Witcher 3 is pretty, amazing textures, great story, I give you that. But at the end of the day it's White Orchard, Skellige, Vellen + Novigrad, and Vizima as separated disconnected maps. XCX's sense of scale is unmatched, few games have that sense of scale, none being good jrpgs. Anyone who disputes didn't play the game.

>the game right off the bat has things that attempt to engage you
I recall the game opening with a cliche sci-fi cutscene, then you spend a good 30 mins in character creation (which will mean fuck all since all the best armor have helmets), and then you kill some weakling bugs with Elna, before getting another cutscene, make your way to NLA, fight done fodder minimises that are piss easy, and then get treated to an endless barrage of cutscenes and dialogue before getting thrown out into the world to deploy your first probe.

Yeah, don't see how that's very engaging.

I mean if the director has good taste in chocolate, you know he's doing something right.

Yet you want a Switch for a single game?

>lets ignore the massive world and the alien dinos that roam the planet.

man you ffxv fags sure are salty over a 2 year old game, in hardware 10 years old.

Sure you did man. Just bought a PS4 the other day, and I'm currently giving GTAV and Witcher III a run. XCX can't even begin to compare dude. It too is composed of 5 separated locales, each one with some generic theme to it. The only one truly original was Silvalium. But how dead and uninteractive the world was made everything feel like a cardboard set. The only good thing about it was the enemy placement, and verticality, but on every other aspect, from interaction, to engagement, to liveliness, to lore, to visual storytelling, to tone, to variety, it fell flat on its face. Awful game man.

>which will mean fuck all since all the best armor have helmets
>he dont know about cosmetic armor
you poor fool

One difference sonniger, I have PC with all your games with hardware you wont even get 10 years down the line. The areas have zeo loading screens between them. It's one giant map that's 3x bigger than witcher 3, fallout 4 and skyrim combined.

I'm buying the switch.

I'm going to call it now though. 599.99

One giant, lifeless map filled with pretty set pieces. It makes the same mistake nearly every open world game makes: bigger is better

Tbh, all I know about XV is the versus trailer, the Conan review, and that the game starts with you pushing a car. I've been shitting on XCX well before I even bothered to look into XV, but Tbh, I hope it's great, if anything to shut you stupid drones up about
>much best open world game ever

Literally compare the opening of XCX to the opening of GTAV, and then tell me how XCX is in any way more engaging. Hell, even the first Xenoblade got it right, sure it was a slow start, but it had you doing things and experiencing the world, rather that force feeding you everything you need to know through expository cutscenes, and "go look for this arbitrary person in NLA to progress the plot."

Pay your respects to FF, it's finally dead

>One giant, lifeless map
why do people that never played the game talk shit?

just like witcher 3, gtav, fallout4, watch dogs, mgsv

gee you sure showed me.

>Sonynigger
I bought a Wii U well before I bought a PS4 fool, so Idk what you're arguing about. I paid $179 for the thing and got a fuckton of free games of my brother's account thanks to game sharing.

Go ahead and flaunt your hardware, but touting the Wii U as a machine worth buying despite its pisspoor hardware and library not only makes you a hypocrite, but a miserable sorry fool. Only reason I even bought a PS4 was cause the Wii U had little else to offer after Nintendo butchered it.

Also, good luck getting to play Bloodborne, and Gravity Rush 2, and The Last Guardian, and the Last of Us, and Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator on PC.

And for the record, XCX does have loading screens. You have one when booting the game, one when transitioning between areas of NLA, one when entering and exiting NLA, etc...

Xenogears remake when?

I'm gonna laugh when the game cones out, and winds up winning GotY.

He's right though, the map is lifeless. You have little to no interactivity with it, and all the wildlife consists of monsters to kill, no civilizations, or cities or culture, game's very dead m8.

It feels like a theme park. Look but don't touch, otherwise you feel how fake it is. Pity, cause the first was a leap in JRPGs.

> a savage planet have not civilization to interact with

A) you are dumb)
B) you have the Noppon caravans

>And for the record, XCX does have loading screens. You have one when booting the game, one when transitioning between areas of NLA, one when entering and exiting NLA, etc...

And how many does witcher 3 have? Oh that's right, even walking 2 feet from the path you are supposed to follow, you get the message "you have reached the world's end, turn back now".

Stop shilling. XCX achieved an open world that is the biggest and most voluminous, all with zero loading screens. The Blade HQ, Baracks, and Fast Travel are the only things that have load screens.

Just admit it and move on. There's tons of other problems XCX has, but the world was the best ever created for the hardware it was in, period.

>letting story dictate your game design

Mistake number 1. No excuses, it was a shit decision, and the game suffered from it. Even fucking Far Cry Primal had more civilization that XCX.

your passive aggressive tone is not appreciated and quite honestly uncalled for.. but than again I guess this is the kind of begavior that rules when drumpf is the persident..

>>letting story dictate your game design
>the game world is made to fit the narrative
>a mistake

All the shit they learnt with X seems like it'd be perfect for a Xenogears remake. The transition from giant robots to on foot, for instance. Imagine the Lahan destruction where the mech fight is happening in the same area you spent the earliest moments of the game exploring. You literally see the rooms of houses you explored from Weltall. Tell me that wouldn't be the grandest shit.

If it's any consolation, "NO ONE" has ever found that costume, not even in the Japanese version of this game, it's assumed to be a shoop of an outfit that comes in different colors.

Game is shit anyways. I'd suggest never getting it.

Probably the worst JRPG I've played in a long ass time, it's good on concept, but execution is horrendous. Everything is bad about this game. Combat, story, music, visual design, quest design and tasks, systems like affinity, cutscenes, characters; I don't think there is a single redeemable feature of the game other than exploration which is quickly boring as soon as you get a mech.

Stick with the other thread this shitposting is already taking place in.

>XCX achieved an open world that is the biggest and most voluminous, all with zero loading screens. The Blade HQ, Baracks, and Fast Travel are the only things that have load screens.

So which is it, cause you literally contradict yourself in the same paragraph. And shilling is when you're trying to get someone to BUY a product. Criticizing a game for being shit, and shutting down delusional fanboys isn't shilling. If anyone here is shilling with excessive praise in order sucker more people into buying an awfully underwhelming game, it's you.

XCX has literally one of the most bland and underwhelming worlds in open world games. It gets outdone by the first Xenoblade at every turn. I can list literally a Dozen open world games with more exciting an d interesting worlds to interact with than XCX, whose biggest flaw is the LACK of interactivity with the world. Again,the only plus to it was the verticality, and enemy placement, on every other front, it gets outdone by other games.

this famalam is right, believe him

Hey, fuck you. I was the dude calling that Xenobaby out, and I voted for Trump. Got take your salty liberal tears elsewhere nigga.

If you liked the first Xenoblade, then skip this. The only thing they didn't fuck-up was the battle system. That's mostly a cut-n-paste of the first game.

Everything else is a fucking disaster.

I agree with this wholly. Xenoblade Chronicles as a game was entirely ignored in what made it a great and unique game, and shit on with X in about every single way. They made a generic MMO with a barely working online, except you would probably get more enjoyment out of an MMO since it has more world interaction and better designed quests. I had more fun doing the Cataclysm quest lines than playing Xenoblade X.

Why is XCX nominated forr best RPG in the game awards for 2016?

Sup Forums said this game was shit, what happened?

>implying it wasnt the only thing to come out for the Wii U within a 5 month time gap
>implying user reviews aren't just shilling miiverse cancer
>implying most people even bothered finishing the shit game

You can never get an accurate score when it comes to Nintendo software, many examples exist like Skyward Sword. Xenoblade X is a shit game and you have to play it to understand instead of listening to all the shilling.

Yes, Miyamoto has even said this before multiple times. Nintendo's design philosophy with Zelda in fact is gameplay first, story second, always. Making your game suffer and lack necessary elements because you need to fit it with your narrative, a narrative that is in fact very uninspired and boring, is a fucking mistake.

I'm here to play video games, not be told stories. If I wanted a good sci first story I'd pick up a book, not play some sweetness game with potato fa e downs syndrome waifus.

I'm going to warn you right now. Due to CERO, the scenes that contained nudity, blood and gore will likely be omitted or altered in the remake unless the American version keeps that in like No More Heroes did but that's going to be unlikely due to NoA.

>Emulate it. In a couple months CeMu will run it flawlessly with the strides it's making.

I have been hearing this for more than a year now

Nah it's alright. The story is pretty hot garbage though. Like to the point I'm surprised anyone could defend it. I definitely agree about execution being weak too. Overall you can really feel the game is Monolith getting familiar with a new game engine. Reminded a lot of Game and Wario in that feels more like a tech demo than a full on product.

This, so fucking much. They didn't learn at all.

I was actually laughing a big streamer on Twitch, Cohhcarnage, was playing it for 4 days before giving up because it was so fucking awful and the thousands of people watching were hating on it.
Game by design is awful and everything is so cringey.

>single game

well you'd be retarded to not pick up W101 and Bayo 2. that's buying a Wii U for basically 4 games, not so bad

on its own, its decent
compared to its predecessor, it is trash

It won't win shit, not with FFXV on the horizon, and Fallout 4 having come out this year, also, Pokemon and DQ. So don't get your hopes up.

I would say its decent compared to the Wii U library, which is minuscule and unfasinating. Otherwise, meh.
Comparing it to Chronicles makes you want to play Chronicles and wish X was never made.

Then buy a Wii U for cheap when the Switch drops and hack it. Otherwise you're gonna regret your purchase.

>And for the record, XCX does have loading screens. You have one when booting the game
And?
>one when transitioning between areas of NLA,
The barracks only
>one when entering and exiting NLA, etc...
Untrue

Stop bullshitting

This, on the WiiU's miserable library, it's one of the few notable and worth playing titles. Outside of Wii U, it's hot garbage.

>The shear uplift of Xenoblade shitposting threads the last week
Why?

>XCX doesn't have loading screens
What about these?
>s-soo?

And there are loading screens when entering and exiting NLA. Also, when fast travelling.

>And there are loading screens when entering and exiting NLA
No, there isnt.

XCX has always been shit on around here, I don't know what you mean.

It's too late for FFXV to even be able to get in there which is why they should push it for a December release so it could at least qualify for next years Game Awards.

Even if XCX doesn't win, at least the nomination would be on it's track record along with the following

Eurogamer: Essential
Metacritic: #6 Best Wii U Game of 2015
Metacritic: Most Shared Wii U Game of 2015
Guinness Book of World Records 2017 Gamers Edition: Largest playable area in a JRPG

The world is completely seamless apart from the barracks. stay salty.

>Lying on the internet
Wew.

You've never played it, have you?

Why are you shitposting?

>genuine criticism
>shitposting

You should visit the FFXV threads, where half the posts are Conan-posts. Here I see people giving valid against the game.

There are no bullshots in the game, all the trailers and images were taken using the engine, there isn't anything prerendered in the game.

Oh, I see. Someone's shitting on your game so you shitpost other games as deflection. How fucking sad.

Nope.

Pretty sure there was. Then again, it's been about a year since I played the game, do who cares.

He's not lying, unless you were hanging around /vg/ for the general topics, the game received a lot of flak here for the music, lack of tutorials and the censorship made to the US and PAL versions.

Nah, you've been exposed as a shitposter lad. Fuck off.

alien Elma is best Elma

And? The game itself has always had great threads, until the last week.

Now, why would that be I wonder?

FFXV aside, which may or may not be shit at the end if the day. XCX is undeniably shit, and you need only play it to see why. The first which went largely ignored by mainstream media is better than it in every way. It are you gonna take back your words and citations once the MSN starts shilling XV and handing it all sorts of awards like they inevitably will

>Game received the token Sup Forums shitposting

First time on Sup Forums?

>Shitposting

Shoo.

Genuine criticism isn't shitposting, retard. Grow a pair of fucking balls.

You done? There's an FFXV thread or two you could be defending your game in

How about YOU kindly fuck off. XCX is shit, deal with it.

>Still shitposting
Embarrassing.
