Switch is a japanese console but doesn't attract the weeb audience.
Really shot themselves in the foot with the artstyle.
Would ahve sold a million copies with a style closer to first xenoblade.
Damn this is gonna sell worse than X which was on the worst selling nintendo console ever. Makes me sad they killed this series even though it's a first year exclusive on one of the hottest consoles ever.

Honestly if this wasn't a nintendo game reviewers would have given this a much lower score.

This
It doesn't deserve a 84
Gabriel Ross
True.

this image brings me way back

Yeah, it's Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean 4 tier.

Because unlike the other games (that still feature the following things from time to time), XC2 is choke full of tropes and pandering.
Caleb Wright
The artstyle is too weeb even more me.

There is no scientific or statistical evidence that links score with sales.

You need atleast 80 from metacritic or people won't buy dlc for your game

Can I get your comment on this, toddlerino?

Review scores and sales have a hockey stick curve
Score does not matter that much, until you hit 80+ metacritic scores
Then higher the score, the more you sell.
All 90+ scorers tend to be big sellers
Ayden Hughes
Persona 5 never shove boobs and ass on you like XB2
Anthony Diaz
Why don't you actually read what the low scoring reviewers are saying? It's not like you have to even go to their site.
It looks like the main complaints are that it's a JRPG that's not casualized enough for western audiences.

>Why did Xenoblade 2 fail to make a hit in the west
it didn't. Nioh sold barely more than 1 million copies and Ys VIII didn't reach 500k units
Western people don't buy good japanese games
Tyler Bell
most of those sites rated these other JRPGs good
Zachary Johnson
>want to shitpost
>ignore anything that doesn't fit into shitpost narrative and just post metacritic and wojaks
Come on. It's clear
Connor Lopez
Since you have Ys there, is 85 the line drawn in the sand for making a hit in the west?
Zachary Turner
The truth is western gaming is bad even with paid rewiews
84 is a very good score considering 90% of western journalists didn't play more than 3 hours
Jace Brown
>confusing map
>padded out combat
>exploration is a chore
>poorly balanced
>boring grind
>shitty difficulty spikes
Sounds like perfectly valid complains to me.

That's because they (smartly) casualized them with quality of life features and lesser difficulty for western audiences. Westerners aren't autistic about JRPGs like the japs. Nobody wants to grind for hours here. That's also why Monster Hunter World is going to be the best selling MH in the west.
