Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a flop?

How did a long-anticipated triple A JRPG with 3 years of development get a fucking lower score to a Tales game on a shoestring budget?

Isn't it the highest grossing game in the series? Who cares what reviewers think.

because big boobs scare me

Because tits are bad

It's called "appeal to popularity". Look it up, faggot.

Persona 5 has a higher score with abuse against women, rape, underage girls in full body latex suits and homosexual joke characters.

But, I mean, it still sold well and people obviously enjoyed it, so it objectively isn't a flop.

Because Xenoblade is trite pandering weeb garbage.

Tales is just weeb garbage. They at least try.

>giving any credence whatsoever to review scores
fuck off back to faggotland

Neither was Dragon Age 2.

>long anticipated
no one knew about xeno2 till the switch was announced

8.8

>xenoweebs this devastated

Because Berseria had to be good because Zestiria was terrible?

Both are weeb le epic shounen adventure shit.
The difference is that Tales previous game was beyond shit that it made this one look decent, while the inverse happened for Xenoblade.

>Implying weebshit can even score an 8 when there's no gameplay
Whyfoo faggot isn't gameplay.

Berseria is based on Berserk which is a seinen technically.

>videogame "journalism"
you are easily manipulated

And "appeal to authority" is somehow better?

Nintendo games are the one with jouranlist bias tho. Thats what makes it this much of a flop, it scored less than a niche Tales game.

>Triple A JRPG

Those two should never belong in a sentence together. The only AAA JRPG that exists is Final Fantasy.

>Nintendo not triple A

Ok

I bought it and didn't enjoy it.

Should I buy berseria? I didn't get far in zestiria.

Nintendo is in no way AAA. AAA development means 500 man dev teams, Nintendo barely reaches half of that with BotW.

The term "triple A" correlates to how much money was spent on the title. Be it through marketing, development or what have you. If you think Nintendo spent enough money on this title to make it a AAA release then I don't know what to tell you. I've barely seen any advertising for this game at all and I can't imagine it cost too much to make either.

I hope its bait because fucking hell the over world was fucking trash in berseria and the fucking gameplay was not my cup of tea but was better than FFXV, specially when you go into caves the literal copy paste really killed my mood to explore even walking through that shit was bad. In the end I don't expect much from the game specially when the world feels static, just hope they improve the gameplay a bit in the next game. In the end it was a okay game which I couldn't bother to finish it.

Well, it doesn't hold up at all considering the hype from xenofags. They only had it coming though ,especially when they pretended it's going to be next big thing next to Mario and Zelda. So, fuck them.

Isn't Monolith second party?

Fuck off, XC2 doesn't even have good tits or waifus. There are games that are much better at that.
Persona 5 or Nier: Automata released the same year and are blowing out XC2 in that department

>Isn't Monolith second party?
First party since Nintendo owns them.

>How did a long-anticipated triple A JRPG with 3 years of development get a fucking lower score to a Tales game on a shoestring budget?
Where? Am I missing something? Are Tales fags actually delusional? Not surprising really, since you have to be pretty brain damaged to enjoy Tales series.

/ss/ > vanilla harem
Wven the average reviewer agrees.

>appeal to popularity
>mentioning reviewers/critiques
I think you need to look it up yourself, buddy.

Magilou beat out Titblade Chronicles 2
TITCOWS BTFO, CHESTIES FTW

NOOOOOO DELETE THIIIIS

Kindly remove this image from my thread if you will.

While XC2 was ballsy enough to have a straight up polygamous ending, Tales chickened out and never went through with tit's /ss/. Xenoblade wins.

>4 points of difference a triple A high budget release and something that namco slapped together in a year using a bag of pennies as budget.
Man, jrpgs are the bottom of the barrel.

>or waifus
Imagine being this wrong.

Tales of Symphonia is ne the greatest ames I've ever played.

but you're right.

It's a freaking 8.5, get your head out of your ass.

>triple A
>xenoblade

I don't really understand. I haven't really got anything against Berseria but they can't seriously say those stale corridor environments beats Xeno games and not the combat either.

Like the good ol' times after Twilight Princess.

It did.
Velvet went so hard in delusion that now she's stuck on her /ss/ dream while the world is fucked due to her edge.

See you have to actually twist your thoughts and be delusional to accept an /ss/ ending in tales. With Xeno there's no delusion. It happened. Sorry fag but your series got cold feet.

What are you even babbling about, did you even played it.
Bet you don't even know why birds fly.

This year I've played:

Demon Gaze II
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth
Final Fantasy XV
Mary Skelter: Nightmares
NieR: Automata
Persona 5
Tales of Berseria
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA

The only reason why I wouldn't say Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the best out of all of them (it's a great game), is because of the technical issues. Honestly if it had rock-solid framerate at all times and better UI/menu design, it'd easily be the best jRPG since DQ 8.

On the other hand, the biggest stinker on this list is Final Fantasy XV. Embarassing to see what nu-Square has become.

Japan is a magical place

>Where?
Literally IGN see for yourself

It's time to play some Western games, son.

Here's a secret as to why: it's easier to play.

story is the only that matters

>xenofags

OH NONONONO

Using Eizen alone in Berseria was the most fun ive had in a jrpg in a while.

Is your Minecraft stream doing alright Eric?

magilou deserves a higher score

How is your shemale collection Gladium.

>It's time to play some Western games, son.

name 1 good game outside of Japan in 2017 that is not Divinity: Original Sin 2

>flop
>highest grossing Xenoblade game

>xenoblade
>triple A
>ever

you can make money while being a critical flop

see: sonic '06

...

>stale corridor environments
I'm fucking thankful none of that is in my Xenoblade.
>be me
>dive into the caves of Elpys
>cutscenes tell me Blade power will be limited
>okay, i think i can manage
>it's the hardest cave level of xenoblade games to date
Whose bright idea was it to put breakable bridges, platforms with monsters that oneshot you, surprise bossfights, and poison rivers ALL IN ONE PLACE?
>omg finally reached mid level
>wow all these cobwebs, where's the spiders?
>fall down because muh web bridges
>army of little spiders come at you
>you see the biggest spider of the lot just hanging back
>you beat the little spiders, go near the big spider, then an even bigger spider lands behind it
>other fire blades are on a merc mission and Brighid isn't enough to burn the cobwebs
>im trapped

Samus Returns.

>Nintendo bias
>big budget
>Switch hype
>8.5

>PS3 game in 2016
>reused assets everywhere
>no budget
>8.8

How will Xenofags EVER recover from this?

How is getting from place to place hard? There's shit telling you where to go

Shitting on XV and liking X2.

replay chrono trigger every month if you want the same gameplay and story in every fucking jrpg

>he believes the nintendo bonus

Berseria is unironically better

i mean divinity original sin 2 was made on a shoestring budget yet has a better score than 99% of all games ever released soooo budget doesn't effect quality of a game.

wut?

Yeah, because Tales is for prudes and normalfags that hate anything ridiculous and "anime". Oh wait.
Oh, and 2B? Not sexual at all, very fit for mature adult audiences that hate anime T&A.
Or literally everything about P5? Yeah.
Maybe Xenoblade is just shit?

I love Xenoblade, but P5 shits all over it.

>metacritic
>samefagging

Without the Nintendo Bonus XC2 would've been a 70

Tales has Magilou, how can Xeno even compete?

In optimization and aesthetics yeah. But story? P5's gets worse over time. XC2's gets better over time. Combat is a no-brainer, XC2 all day. Exploration is also XC2 all day. Social Links = Blade sidequests.

This cast alone puts xenoblade 2 in the ground, and I like the game.

I liked berseria a lot despite a shitton of issues I had with it. Would've been better as an anime though
>it gets an anime
oh cool
>it shares the anime with zestiria and is shit

That's because the reviewers didn't download the japanese voice pack to fall in love for Poppi's voice.

>IGN

Never claimed IGN was better

It's certainly not the best RPG of the year, no doubt about that.

it's got a slog of a start
music isn't exactly stand out especially compared to the last two (XenoX certainly stood out, if only for weird reasons)
even for a JRPG it probably dips too far into shit typical of flavor of the month anime from time to time
1 step forward, 2 steps back with it's quality of life improvements

i mean it's all there. I still like the game but i can see what's holding it back.

>Never claimed IGN was better

So NOW review scores count?

I'd take mementos over the average sidequest garbage in XC2 tho.
Having a clear boss goal is 100 times better than trusting rng hoping the thing you need is in a gathering/salbage point.

/thread

Not my posts

I feel like half the game was developed by Monolith and the other half by Compile Heart. The pure essence of sweaty otaku culture was dripping from the character design and event scenarios, not to mention the downright embarrassing english dub effort.

So is Berseria actually good? Never played Tales before. Should I play this one? Is it really the best JRPG of 2017?

VAGINA
BONES

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 may have some problems but also got one of the most complex and deep battle systems from jrpgs.

I don't know about best JRPG of 2017 but Berseria is great

>eww anime sucks!
>I love Berseria tho!!
Tales fags, ladies and gentlemen.

At no point was Berseria mentioned. I think you need glasses, user.

>ohmygosh rex implied that pyra was obese so now everyone is embarassed
At least most of this weebshit in Berseria is on skits.

It has a good story reminiscent of Berserk, that didn't lean heavily on anime bs. A lot better than the cringey shonen shit in Xenoblade.

>critical flop
>half of the reviewers who scored it lower than previous games praise the combat and story for being better than the previous games
woah

I can say, unironically, that Xenoblade 2 was my GOTYAY.
I don't give a shit as to what "journalists" think.
