I'm enjoying the game overall but the level scaling and world layout in general is fucking retarded and makes no coherent sense

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze got 83, and that's considered the best modern platformer.

They really needed more than two years of development time, I don't know what they were thinking.

Chapter 4. Is what went wrong

Metacritic and reviewers being inherently biased
go ahead and actually read some of the low scoring reviews, you would be amazed how many of them docked points because of
>MUH ANIME
>IT'S TOO HARD
and such

your life

Is Xenoblade 1 emulatable and good? It piqued my curiosity

everything

>Gacha shit
>Real time dispatch merc missions
>Annoyingly spread out menu structure (did there really need to be FOUR separate equipment menus (Accesories/Pouch/Aux Cores/Chips)
>Field Skill checks
>Slow as balls battles where every enemy feels like it has more health than it should.
>Attack call outs from Driver + Blades + enemy Drivers + enemy Blades that might all play at fucking once

>I haven't touched Odyssey

I'm unironically considering buying a Switch to get this game. JRPGs with a whole bunch of anime tropes and cliches on top of character design that are trying to hard is my guilty pleasure.

It didn't trick people into buying it for the mechs like the last game did.

Just play for free on your modded wii or n3ds

The best modern platformer is DustForce

In the real world and not Sup Forums where anything that's not a 10/10 is automatically dogshit, an 8.5/10 is a pretty good fucking score

All these objective flaws and yet shills will claim that Xeneptunia is the next great revolution in gaming. Sad!

...

Too many systems and big titty waifus for numale journalists who just want to play walking simulators these days.

Chapter 4 is one of the best chapters in the game. If you don't like it then the game isn't for you.

Why? Fill me in pls.

nothing. Xeno 2 is a fun game.

Its one of the best anime JRPGs out there. Im sure it got a lower score because it was too Japanese.

I don't have a modded wii or n3ds

>Memory issues
>Handheld mode

no boob slider

Oh well.

Yep it's good emulatable.

Glad this will split the community considering how cancerous the original xeno are.

>>create RPGs with actually potent scifi-esque plots with gnostic themes and a side of giant mechs

The funny thing is that XC2 has all of those

>We live in a world where everyone complains that reviewers inflate scores then think that an 8.5 means a game went "horribly wrong"

This is why every review site gives 9/10, people like OP are why its so hard to find legitimate reviews

Eric was never a part of any community. He lives a sad and lonely life so he can't split from anyone.

Nothing went wrong. Games "Journalists" threw a fit that the game had a few characters with tits and decided to try and tank the reviews.

One reviewer literally said they didn't read the tutorial text then complained that they didn't know what was happening.

The picture of the Titty bunnygirl with the fucked up back is abusing a camera glitch, but keeps getting posted as an example of how the game looks.

There's a clear narritive being pushed, and it takes a fucking child to see.

Even after all of their bitching they still couldn't tank the reviews.

Bullshit he has total freedom

83 is about 10 points too high for DKCRTF.

>83
>8.5
>Horribly
Is Sup Forums this desperate to shitpost?

Chasing the authentic weeaboo audience

there is no level scaling what the fuck are you blabbering about

He's right. Odyssey is great but demonstrably less challenging, coming from someone who 100%'d it.

>story summary only talks about Pyra
>nothing about Mythra

being Mythra is suffering

Persona 5

Rex. Shulk was never wanked to the same extreme as Rex.
I'm at chapter 8 and have no will to finish the story.

Odyssey has a fantastic engine but there arent really any levels that push core mario mechanics to their limits

nintendo gave him more creative freedom than square soft or namco bandai ever did you absolutely fucking retard

everything about xenoblade 2 is exactly how he wanted it, you sound exactly like malos does in the game and how he feels about the architect that created alrest

how fucking sad

my fucking sides it's shocking how right you are with that comparison, malos goes apeshit with humans just like user does with waifus

pic related this is user right now

>Before game releases, Jason Schreir shits all over the game
>Game releases, most people love it
>Literally says in one of his podcasts "People are only enjoying the game because they want to justify the time they're spending with it. Eventually they'll realize how bad the game is like me".

Gaming journalists are all stuck up pompous assholes. You should not care about their opinions.

Shulk dominated the entire narrative. You could cut out Reyn, Sharla, Dunban and Riki and the narrative would barely change. XC2 is much more balanced.

Not the same user but I started playing it today.
It's plays and looks great, but there's some polish missing and performance problems here and there that could've been easily fixed with more time
Especially handheld mode, instead of downscaling LoD and effects it just tanks down the resolution

Why are all the characters so boring, cliche and shit? Even the townfolk and NPCs all seem so fucking boring.
Nia is carrying this game single-handedly for me.

>suggesting this over emulating it

>83 is bad

1/10 lo quality bait

shulk's entire existence was a project of zanza to come back, he was the utmost special snowflake on PURPOSE designed to reset the universe

meanwhile rex is a literal normalfag that got dragged into all that bullshit without ever being anyone of major power or heroic duty, he cries like a bitch when defeated, he cowers in fear when almost dead and doesn't grow a pair of balls until after 5 minutes before the ending when he can finally accepts pneuma's decision to kill herself.


you are so full of shit it's not even funny.

This. Fucking biggest Gary Stu I have ever witnessed in any work of fiction in recnt memory.

>XC2 is much more balanced
I love how XB2IDF is so hellbent on historical revisionism now that everyone has seen the flaws of this shitpile.

Because sweet Nintendo dosh had full priority over writing an actual plot and characters in the making of this "game."

>"People are only enjoying the game because they want to justify the time they're spending with it. Eventually they'll realize how bad the game is like me".
>implying this is wrong
Wait for the honeymoon period to finish.

Double bullshit, Xenoblade is not a "Xeno-series" game and the first only got that name shortly before release as a hat tip to Xenosaga and to make the producer connection more obvious, not because they're related. The original title of Xenoblade was Monado: The Beginning of the World.

youtube.com/watch?v=qcflgnLmgms

Nothing went wrong, it's a great game and other than some terrible menu/UI choices and random blades, it's a big improvement over it's predecessors. People just become blind to the flaws of older games because there's a rampant mindset of new = automatically bad.

Oh it's you. You know you should at least structure your posts differently so everyone know it isn't the same user desperately shitting on XC2.

Wait... Jason is that you???

>>Gacha shit
Hold the fuck on, there is a gacha in this game ?

>XB2IDF
What is it with you and your made up buzzwords? First neokikeshitendo, shitch and cucktch, now this. You know it makes you instantly recognizable, right? Go to bed Eric.

Yep, it'ok. Due to all the XC2 stuff around I finally grabbed 1 from my backlog. 30 fps lock is fuckannoying though.

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

All they needed to do was at least let everyone use any Blade without overdrives and let other people do important stuff.

god you are stupid

The sad thing is that you are absolutely right but the XB2IDF will just ignore you because they know they can't argue against people who have actually played this turd unlike them.

Called it.

>less challenged
FTFY

Tell me how I'm wrong then. All I listed is true.
Don't get me wrong, I like the game and even liked Rex at the start, but they could have balanced the roles of other characters much better.
And they didn't need to pile so much stuff on Rex.

>Cut Tora out
Tora and Poppi consistently save the group over and over. Also His father's research is extremely important to Torna near the end of the game

Jason Schreir.

>spoiler
That's good to know. I actually like Tora and Poppy, which I thought would be impossible after Tatsu ruined Nopons for me.

I beat it a few days ago. It's everything I could've asked for and more of an RPG, it's one of the best sequels I've ever played and one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Absolutely great story, lovable characters, great gameplay, and I have really no complaints about the game except for maybe a few enemies had annoying / spammy audio during combat.

t. Person who never played Xenoblade 1 or 2

There's no level scaling that I've noticed.

Special edition worth it?

I actually kind of wish there was level scaling. Getting a rare blade then going back and doing their quest and everything is level 20 while I'm 60 is disappointing but understandable.

there kind of is, a lot of the early-game stages are populated by level 90-100 enemies after you beat the game/reach a certain stage of the story

If you're able to get your hands on it, yes. I have a copy, the box is huge. It's really nice, the metal game case is worth it and so is the artbook.

>Jason Schreir

Explain

game could really benefit from another run through some Quality control. Small things like only being able to look at the map when selecting a fast travel destination or how long it takes to welcome home merc groups add up to really make the game annoying at times. There should be a way to cycle between the three active party members and change who you're controlling, at least out of combat. And having to look at the affinity chart to actually get the unlocks is stupid, especially since Pyra and Mythra have the annoying extra step of having to switch between them. it really should have a manual or some sort of collection of tutorials you've already seen. blade bonding cutscene should be skippable too.

XBC2 is a great game, but it's seriously lacking in the fine tuning.

I assure you this half-baked turd of a game will be looked upon less favorably in less than a few more months post-release. Even X had better reception this.

Jason hates the series yet was given it to review from Kotaku. He literally bitches and moans about the most obvious and shallowest shit.

>It's anime.
>It's too hard.

Without really getting into any of the mechanics from an analytical or qualitative perspective.

There's a little gold star next to NPCs who dole out side quests and reappears everytime they have new dialog. That's just one thing. The game is filled with stuff like this.

It's little things like this that shows that Monolith Soft plays a ton of RPGs and still knows how to innovate. They know their shit.

>Drastically lower than XBC's 92
>Implying low 80s doesn't indicate a reek of a myriad of flaws in a mediocre product

the faggot who called sorceress from dragon's crown a loli

This guy gets it. Just wait a month or two for the honeymoon phase to peter out. Already it's being considered one of the worst Switch titles.

My only beef with the game were that the character designs were a bit all over the place, probably thanks to all the guest artists.
I'm having a blast with it, reminds me a bit of pic related at times.

>Bullshit he has total freedom
This. Guy just puts crap he likes into his game while rearranging the 5 or so good ideas he had in Gears.

>I wantu make a game more like Xenogears. It will have.... mech, and people on same world. I will bring back Tanaka-san from Gears and Saga for character designs, but I will make sure everyone looks like potato while mocking a character that looks like a potato. Whew... This is tiring work.
>Time to watch my favorite anime to relax while brainstorming. Wait, that's it! I'll get Kill La Kill composer! I love his work!

>Time to make a game more like Xenoblade. I should bring back musician from XB1, and good friend Mitsuda-kun.
>Damn, I can't roll my favorite girl in Idolmaster Cinderella Girls! Guess I'll watch Expelled from Paradise while I enter my credit card details. Wait, that's it! I'll put gacha in my game, and hire this artist!

He'll become a vegetarian by the time Xenoblade X 2 starts development and he'll remove all instances of eating meat from the script or something.

Why did you abbreviate it? Are you that lazy? And just replying and saying it's 10 points too high would have got the message across with even less to type.

So you're lazy and stupid.

>Already it's being considered one of the worst Switch titles.

By fucking whom? RetardEra?

>already it's being considered one of the worst switch titles
by literally who
>inb4 you post screencaps of your own posts

xbc2 is the biggest disgrace to jrpg I've ever seen

It indicates that one was a small under the radar RPG on a dying system while the other is a big E3 frontline project in one of Nintendo's biggest years. The former gets reviewed by enthusiasts, the latter by contrarians and idiots. You don't actually consider Slant a reliable outlet, do you?

nothing fun about offline mmo autobattle QTE simulator with the same retarded voice clip spouted every 2 seconds

Fucking this. The scores tell it all people: XB2 is a trash product not worth your money or time.

I love how people who shill this half baked turd can only praise it by comparing it to games that are only remembered today for aging like milk sitting outside in the summer.

So not much different from the rest of the JRPGs this year.

his scathing review didn't even have a score so it didn't affect the metacritic score

>You don't actually consider Slant a reliable outlet, do you?
At least they're more reliable than CuckXplain.

...

>Radiata Stories
>aged like milk
Jesus Christ kill yourself my man.

>Reviews don't count/are contrarion unless they shill my favorite blunder of the year.

>boards.fireden.net/v/search/text/>ironically the only people who actually played the game are the ones shitting on it, paid reviews notwithstanding/

Speaking of Tropical Freeze, do you guys prefer the stick or the D-pad?

>blurred shit cranked up to 11

Could someone please post the same image without producing eye cancer? Thank you.

SJWs didn't like all the attractive females in the game hence the lower scores

notice that as the tits got bigger the score got lower? yeah, that's why

Thank you for posting this. Shills like to push this under the rug because it makes them look bad but the whole board already knows by now how fans of this turd operate. nails exactly how bad the damage control is getting. XB2 is the aborted fetus of the Switch library.

No. There's a mechanic to drawing new blades (basically party member augments) that uses what they call core crystals. These are consumables that have a chance of giving a rare blade, influenced by the character's luck stat. They are farmable and NOT purchasable with real money (or even in game currency that I've found). That user has obviously not played the game.
