This is the greatest game ever made

Even after its release, big fat anime tits are considered the only """valid""" criticism of the game still. It is perfect and will be remembered as the classic of a generation.

Is this a new form of shitposting? It's a pretty mediocre game, not nearly as good as the original

Funny how this game is still getting threads while Odyssey posting had died off a similar time from release.

Lol wow you guys sound pretty angry haha. Sucks being mad 24/7 huh? Maybe you should actually play the game kiddos... yeah...

...

not true at all, there were odyssey threads a couple months after release, especially screenshot threads.

My vote still goes to XBC1 but XBC2 is a close second.

He said, rolls of fat sloshing around his arms as he typed.

>FIGHTNIG GAMES ARE FUCKING TRASH
this was all you needed to say to be correct

What caused the console wars to get this bad? I don't remember it being nearly as awful 3-4 years ago

It's shitposting.
It's all shitposting.

It's shitposting all the way down.

Does the OP like a game?
Then he's baiting fanboys from the other camp.
Does the OP dislike a game?
Then he's baiting fanboys who like it.

That's all it ever is.
Ever.

Articulate opinions? Nuance? Actual discussion? FUCK THAT SHIT.
I base my self worth on reply numbers, motherfucker! The faster I can get them into the triple digits by any means necessary, the harder I cum!

>everything i dont like is console wars
>quoting only people defending a good nintendo game reasonably and with actual facts
Ok you got a reply out of me, champ...

Older anons acted too retarded and ironic for too long, then newfags come in and think that it's the norm.

Fuck you cuckboi. Cuck cuck cuck. I bet you were paid to say that, shill

Currently in Chapter 6, didn’t like chapter 5, but the others were great. People aren’t kidding when they talk about the game having a fun and unique combat system. Probably my favorite strict non-action JRPG since Vesperia. Before that it was Abyss. Before that it was YS 5. Before that it was Dragon Quest IV.

I don’t play a lot of JRPGs though, so I’m not really an authority.

Honestly though why is Sup Forums so shit suddenly. I feel like it wasn’t this bad even a year ago, but then again I don’t know if I can remember the last time it was good. Might just move to vr or vg.

sonyfags are so easy to bait holy shit ahahhaaha

go play your fifa,kids

>that pic
Sup Forums has been getting worse with every year desu. There's just too many new people coming in and joining in by shitposting. There's barely any OC getting made, even though some people hated and still hate Sup Forums culture threads, I honestly miss them, at least some of them were pretty damn good when you compare to what this board is like now. Almost every vidya thread devolves into some kind of shitposting war and even niche stuff is getting their fair share of shitposters which didn't really happen that much even a few years back.

...

It's so boring, really.
None of the shitposting ever really gets to me, it just upsets me because of how repetitive and futile it is.
No discussion, no threads where people are actually fucking real with eachother.

It's just the same shit over and over again. I've had more fun in several Sup Forums discord servers and those were shit too.

The last time I had fun on Sup Forums was probably in a Gaki thread (which ironically isn't even really related to video games), but I can't even remember when that was. I can already imagine this year's batsu game threads. They'll either be deleted or get invaded by shitposters screaming how it isn't video games while they go on to shit up other threads. I also forgot about Arino threads, those are pretty much dead at this point as well. Yakuza threads were really good too before Y0 came out and shitposters caught wind of it.

while this thread is open i might as well ask, should i go pyra or mythra?

>that webm
hly shit fucking white people

For the name? Choose your favorite. It doesn't matter.

Is Zeke, Morag, Nia a viable setup? I haven't got Zeke yet but he looks like he'd be fun to play.

Do you mean in chapter 8 when you make a decision who to pick or in general? Mythra is stronger than Pyra but Pyra's elements are easier to stack.

I'm legitimately curious now. Tell me why it's good then, because "big fat anime tits" are the only things I can see at a surface level

Nice RPG mechanics, beautiful world to explore, pretty neat little story, depending on your tastes: appealing visual design. Fantastic single Player series really especially with the dwindling of Final Fantasy, Xenoblade is a nice substitute to get your JRPG fix.

Hi cuck. Maybe stop posting while fucking furious and then maybe we can talk.

>See people here saying its an awesome game and other say its the worst in the series and a generic as fuck rpg with slow combat and awful music
>Not sure if I should buy it or not

Tfw someone at my job browses Sup Forums and got a warning for giving his opinion on a video game

You truly work with some plebs if they think the combat of XCX was better

I love Japanese games, JRPG's and anime in general.

The game is garbage. I'm 25 hours into it, which with all the padding and bullshit isn't saying much, but so far it's very uninteresting and other than the wonderful cutscenes playing it is more of a chore than a joy. The side quest are horrible, the combat is atrocious, there is never a sens of immediacy because you can fast travel even when you are being "held" in a prison...

The Gacha system is horrible, X bringing up a worthless map is insanely annoying, can't remap buttons, lack of tutorials for useful information, too much tutorials for useless shit. Wasted buttons dedicated to tutorials. No sense of pacing in the story (Oh hey, this is crazy and I just met you but here is my entire legacy kid) Fuck all retarded character motivations, horrible movement physics, cannot move and attack in battle, Jump is the worst feeling jump I've ever experienced in a video game.

It's a severe disappointment.

>tfw it turns out that user works with blunderfag
You know what to do to him, user.

Oh wait, my reading comprehension just kicked in. They weren't warned for the post, they were warned for REPORTING the post. Hurrr.

Its true tho, xcx left you grinding for a million years longer. Almost 200 hours in and running out of things to do.

Sure thing, chief.
>Uselessly convoluted menus and UI. No tutorial, wikia, map markers or any indication where to get materials.
>1/3 of the plot is pure filler, remaining 2/3 is a continous cycle of lore exposition & retcon, "power of frienship"-tier asspulls and continuous mary sue/deus ex machina advancement (winning boss fights and then losing during cutscenes)
>"120+ hours of total playtime" with at least half as much spent basically travelling from place to place and equipping/unequipping the right blades (Tantal & Temperantia worst offenders)
>More than decent battle system riddled with features ranging from useless (classes & virtues) to being luck-based (gatcha blade pull & overdrive protocols rarity)
>Needless mechanics piled one upon the other with no real need (Tiger! Tiger!, Development, character skill trees, resting at inns)
>Prone to bugs, crashes and sequence breaking (try using Core Crystals during chapter 8, oh boy)
>Constantly confused about being either a modern world or a classic jRpg (world artificially divided in zones despite being a big empty sky, fast travelling is possible while inconsistent with plot & context, passage of time has no actual consequences beside the purely cosmetic and controllable day/night cycle)

For me, it was one of the worst disappontments of the entire genre, a heap of half-baked ideas tied up in a graphically pleasant package.
It's as if someone took a script out of the early 2000's, trying to mix a bit of some successful RPGs of that time like Xenogears and Skies of Arcadia, and tried to realize it now without really stopping for a minute to think of the potential or the end result. The art stile and backgrounds of the main characters is so inconsistent with the desperate, existentialist tones of the game that at times it almost seems that Jin and Malos story was supposed to be the main one.

Every Xeno game has a ton of flaws, but each has different ones and how much you enjoy them depends entirely on how much their specific flaws annoy you. This one probably had the most that annoyed me, but I still ended up enjoying it more than not.

Im gonna add to this If you were a fan of the original xenoblade, it isn't much different combat wise, I would argue it's been improved in some aspects. Everything else though from the art direction, story, characters, side quest, etc. are a step down. I can't speak since I never played X, but where as xenoblade had me binge the whole game in 4 days, 2 had me sputter out around chapter 5. If you're new to the series, emulate Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and get a try, and if and only if you love that game should you try 2

Chapters 4 and 5 are pretty awful, and then I think chapters 7 through 10 are like a rocket ride to the end that parallel's Xenogear's 2nd disk through cut-scenes and hallways.

>sputter out around chapter 5

it definitely loses steam once you get past the jellyfish titans and only really picks up again once you reach the tree.

>The art stile and backgrounds
Man, I really try and ignore typos in the longer posts but this one just elicits a reaction.

Chapter 7 is still kinda open, 8-10 are pretty linear but at least there's a decent number of fun uniques to fight, and the story hits a pretty good high there too

>grinding for 200 hours is good gameplay

Oh come on, a bit short but passable.

This game has been a real eye opener for me as to just how terrible Sup Forums's taste it. The contrarian meme is 100% confirmed.

The game excels at nothing. The combat is mediocre. The graphics are flat out bad, the switch can take some of the blame for this but it doesn't change the fact. The story and dialogue are an embarrassment. But no, you guys need to defend it because you're offended someone made fun of anime tits. Pathetic.

I've played a shitton of Jrpgs, and this battle system is my favourite, which game combat is better than this one in your opinion?

it is garbage

I didn't buy a Switch for shitty fanbait JRPG's. I'll pass.

Luckily there's plenty of better games for the console.

>a heap of half-baked ideas tied up in a graphically pleasant package.
Sounds like all games Takahashi ever made.
Not sure why people are sucking his dick since the first Xenoblade.

It is my personal goty

>Remembered as a classic
How many levels of contrarian are you on bro
You're lucky if people are still talking about this game in a month

>Wow this game is the best game ever made!

Great argument.
Keep in mind OP had at least two usual XBC2 shitposting triggers but whatever

Tasty pasta

Why do people say it's either a masterpiece or complete shit?

You forgot to mention the combat which is slow and tedious, and the story which is straight up garbage with Tales of Zestiria tier worldbuilding

Except many reviewers liked the game in spite of the tits, whilst articulating their reasons better than you have.

This game is nowhere near the quality of the older FF titles. We will never get real JRPG's back again, since Japan cannot into games anymore.

Because it's Sup Forums

>This game is nowhere near the quality of the older FF titles.
That's not saying much since FF has always been overhyped trash.

Getting this tomorrow. How bad are the portable version REALLY? Is it still about as enjoyable?

I've never finished a FF game, that's including 6, I never understood the hype, even for SNES rpgs.

Personally I thought Lufia 2 was eons better.

You can clearly see that it's low res and that there's less details of course, but other than it's ok. Maybe it's because I'm used to 3DS and Vita that I'm also fine with the portable version of XC2.

FF put Japan on the world map of videogames. Sold countless of consoles and is one of the most beloved franchises ever to come out of the country.

Yet it's "overhyped trash" to some retarded teenager born in 2000.

>This game has been a real eye opener for me as to just how terrible Sup Forums's taste it. The contrarian meme is 100% confirmed.
>The game is bad

user, that's what Sup Forums thinks too, this game has been nonstop shitposted since it came out. you aren't being "le epic counter contrarion" by disliking the game, you're being an average Sup Forums goer.

I feel like I've played this game hundreds of times before.

>Butthurt So(n)yboy upset that Takahashi doesn't peddle his games on Sony consoles anymore

>Yet it's "overhyped trash" to some retarded teenager born in 2000.
I'm born in 1988, thanks.
And I don't give a shit about your parroting, marketer-san, the games are shit that only sold through millions spent in marketing hype and the sheer mediocrity of that moviegame series, Square would have been much better off without that money sink.

It's the worst game of the year.

>Square
You tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end it didn't even matter.

Odyssey came out less than two months ago, and the threads died quite a while ago

I don't see how anyone can genuinely think this game isn't good. The battle system is as polished and needlessly complicated as I was hoping for, and the story and characters are all pretty damn solid too. Maybe not quite Xenoblade 1 level, but still very good. Who knew an aversion to anime tits could influence public opinion so much.

It just makes me happy that normalfags still get triggered by anime and tits.

>A couple months
Nigga Odyssey only released a couple months ago.

t. buttmad FF nigger

UHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH SONNNY *grrrrrrrrr*

umad

lmao you faggots are so predictable

So are you.

Just bought it yesterday and please don't tell me this autoattack shit will be the norm. Tell me I'll get enough attacks that I'll be actively engaged rather than waiting for a meter to fucking charge.

>Yet another dogmatic and inflammatory consolewar post gets (you)s for free
I love this game, but this shit needs to stop.

>Autoattacks
Those become less and less important as the game progresses

youtube.com/watch?v=CdqoNKCCt7A

Please tell me they'll barely be a thing by the endgame. I like the core concept but the idea of spending any real amount of time waiting for the game to attack for you leaves me a bit salty.

If you play smart and plan accordingly, you can shoot 9 arts by switching 3 blades and there will be some minor waiting.

But ideally you still want to cancel autoattacks

To be clear, I haven't left the newbie bullshit for the intro mission that probably hooks me into being important yet. I just told "Gramps" I'll be leaving.

Regardless, your statements are reassuring insofar that after I stop fighting these fucking crabs I'll have my hands full, and that's nice.

Thanks for your help!

yeah, and there's still the odd thread
