Average review:
>The overall depth of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and how well it all ties together is astounding. Though higher expectations mean it is less of a stunning revelation than the first game, Monolith Soft has risen up tall to meet those expectations and delivered spectacularly in every area. 2017 has been one of the greatest years in RPG history; Xenoblade Chronicles 2 caps that off in mesmerising fashion by being one of the finest titles of the year.
I love the game, but any game that uses gacha mechanics as an integral part of its gameplay can't possibly the best game of the year, let alone of all time.
>gacha mechanics
I don't even know what this means, #madboy2017
Think of it as a digital slotmachine but instead of money or tokens, you get monsters or in this case blades.
This is a game mechanic that's commonly found in japanese smartphone games and I wish it didn't leave the mobile platform.
Generic weeb game with cardboard cutout titties and RNG loot system.
Meh
>titties
Lol if you're mad about anime breasts I simply do not care about the rest of your opinion. cuck cuck cuck.
thats usually how it works after you played your first JRPG .. at least if you a weak minded fool.
>he defends titty monster games
Literal children.
>hmpf, novice... You'll never attain such an esteemed, patrician taste in RPGs like I have!
Not to defend OP but you sound like an idiot
there are many ways to get blades, some are through luck, it isn't integral
>ew breasts real mature men hate those things
t. actual faggot
Meh indeed!
How does it feel being a deranged queer freak?
Many are through luck and few are quest rewards.
Being unable to explore certain areas or being unable to finish a quest just because I don't have the right blades with a right skill isn't my idea of fun.
i wish the merc group mission timers continued even if you turn the game off
use generic blades or better yet kill yourself
I'm guessing you're the same guy that managed to falseflag Hat in Time threads into oblivion. You'll have a much, much harder time with this game, I assure you.
>Falseflag HiT threads to oblivion
Could it have been the game was kinda short and past two weeks there were nothing left to discuss?
I'm still in chapter 3, but are there points where you need a certain blade which you can get only through luck?
I would, but none of my blades have the suicide ability.
Guess I'll have to hit the digital slots again.
I'll admit that I did that with Hat in Time because you have no way of proving that I did it. But the fact is I hate that SJW cuck shit. So I killed it off of this board. So what? Clearly I was in the right because everyone came to agree with me. Sup Forums is so easily manipulated that a simple false flag is more than enough to have them doing exactly what I want.
And Sup Forums will come to hate this game too. Watch and learn, priss. PS this post was all a joke.
No, if you're going through the story, all the story blades have the skills required to progress.
You'll only be roadblocked if you don't level up all the story blades affinity
I wonder what those people would complain if the game didn't have big boobs and anime style.
Gacha mechanics are fine as long as you're not paying real money for it. I had fun with it
Are you just releasing ur Commons? The Commons come with wind mastery ect ect
Not in a year were Zelda, Mario, Persona and Nier came out, lol.
It’s a good JRPG, maybe even great, but that’s it.
>I just realized Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is literally and I mean literally the greatest game ever made
falseflag is real.
> The absolute state of Nintendards.
have some fucking dignity man. You guys are LITERALLY the butt of every joke in gaming communities and forums and you don't even care.
it shits all over persona and nier, sony fag
If you're just going through the story, no. You generally don't need to worry about this.
If you want to complete quests or explore unusual places then yeah. That's another story altogether..
Try to keep your common blades with wind and earth mastery. I've noticed that you need these elements a lot.
I can't possibly imagine someone enjoying gacha, but to each their own.
I think it is a lazy way to keep your players, even if it's all for free.
I wouldn't be mad if the Titties had something behind them. Tits for tits sake only goes so far
>neogaf doesn't like nintendo fans with lives and families
>acknowledge us and stop being happy
"no"
>PS this post was all a joke.
Maybe, but that's unironically how some people on here think. You share this board with literal psychopaths and sociopaths, it's not exactly unbelievable that someone might act like this.
You want tits to have story implications?
Is this the new
>”This is honestly amazing.”
I enjoy gambling and it's an easy way to get a fix without spending cash
But that doesn't apply to XB2 you'll probably get most of the blades by the end of the game even with the gacha
That post wasn't actually a joke. I just manipulated you there. It feels so good every time. Cuck cuck cuck.
Personally I'd like the tits to be on a character, not a glorified talking hug pillow
Most disappointing game of the year.
more like most surprisingly great game of the year.
almost didnt buy it because of the animu visuals and because I really couldnt stand X but this is really nice.
It’s definitely not and besides combat and some art assets and tiger tiger it’s pretty bad but at least I enjoy it and it’s something to talk about
that's not persona 5
Tiger Tiger is fun, what are you going on about?
Can you at least turn the shite voices off?
I'd prefer the original dub, but this is a Nintendo game so I'm guessing that's a no go for whatever reason
TIDDIES ASS ASS TIDDIES
HUGE ASS ANIME TIDDIES ASS ASS ANIME TIDDIES
The gatcha is not integral, you can beat the game just fine only using it enough to get space filler common blades on each character until you get the story and side quest rares.
I'm 30 hours in, only halfway(ish) through Chapter 3 and I haven't been grinding. Just doing sidequests, exploring the world and learning the mechanics of the combo system and experimenting with blades.
I don't play many JRPGs but this is one of my favourite games of the last few years. My other favourites are Breath of the Wild and PUBG
̶S̶p̶o̶n̶g̶e̶b̶o̶b̶ Rex is on a quest to deliver ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶K̶r̶u̶s̶t̶y̶ ̶K̶r̶a̶b̶ ̶P̶i̶z̶z̶a̶ Pyra to ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶c̶u̶s̶t̶o̶m̶e̶r̶ the World Tree, while relying on old ̶p̶i̶o̶n̶e̶e̶r̶ salvager tricks to reach it.
This is new nintendo, yes you can
you can but you got some pretty shit taste if you turn them off desu.
JP voices are free DLC
Combat dialogue can be disabled completely
>Being unable to explore certain areas or being unable to finish a quest just because I don't have the right blades with a right skill isn't my idea of fun.
Do you also dislike Zelda games or Metroidvanias that restrict your exploration based on the powerups/items you've unlocked?
You mean to say "worst", not "best", you fucking moron
Forgive me for not liking aussie pissbaby and his awful delivery
>pissbaby
fuck off to tumblr
The "MMO like" combat or something equally retarded.
Excuse me lol?
Weren't a good enough boy to get tendes last night m8?
Fuck off
t. REEEEEE WHERE'S MUH KOS-MOS
suck it non luck granted peon. I got my robutt on a common core with zero boosters. On Nia
tumblr is waiting
BORING OFFLINE MMO FOR HORNY AUTISMOS
For your arse maybe
Better butter up chum
Depends. Do I need to roll the dice to progress?
What?
>only children can like boobs
t. footfag to be fair i like a good thigh fuck myself
>Combat dialogue can be disabled completely
How? I may be blind and retarded but I keep seeing this mentioned and I can't find any options for it.
"Battle Narration" is not the combat dialogue, it's just the MEGA EXPLOSION TOPPLE BLADE COMBO THIRD STAGE AWWWWWESOME stuff.
>Meh
You won't fool me, Nopon.
personally i like to do the dishes, i find it relaxing wife still does all the cooking though
I'm sorry, but we don't take the opinions of Neofags seriously.
Stop trying to get people to shit on Xenoblade 2 by hyperbolizing how much its fans like it.
False flag
that's not Horizon. If anything I am surprised on how engrossing it is. You guys overblew the fuck out of the LE ANIME TROPE shit.
>Cuck cuck cuck.
>t. Mad weeb afraid other people like muh titty game
don't worry about him. He probably hasn't figured out the secret bonus levels yet.
There's an audio for Game Voice or whatever.
This does not affect voices during cutscenes, only voices during combat, affinity chart menus and field skill prompts.
My niig
Muting in-game voices is the only way but it also mutes their dialogue when exploring.
I'm saying the only ones bitching about the system are those who didn't get their bladefu without grinding or just got plain unlucky. Just be grateful there is no real money involved because they could have SO EASILY implimented PAY $$$ TO GET MORE BOOSTERS/BETTER CORES shit.
It's okay to like it but the issue is when people say "THIS IS THE GREATEST", the knee-jerk response is to not to say "It's good but it has flaws too" but instead "NO ITS THE WORST"
Hyperbole meets hyperbole
I actually kind of like the Rare Blade system.
It means my second playthrough will be completely different, since I'll have access to different blades.
>not immersing yourself in the uguu cheesiness.
Come on, if you wanna like something, enjoy it for what it is. Picking it apart only makes you hate it more.
Maybe they just think it's the greatest?
Why you gotta be so defensive right off the cuff like that, as if it's nonsensical to enjoy the game at all or something lol
Not him and I do enjoy it, but you know.
It's grindy if you want to play it to enhance poppi. I do like finding the secret areas in each level. Does level 1 have a secret area? It's the only level where I've never found one.
Naw the only one I found was in lvl 2, its on the sides, and usually guarded by a crap that falls from above
>you better be happy they're not dicking you RAW, just relax and enjoy the dicks in your ass idiot
But then the rational way you'd phrase that statement is "I really like this game"
When you make a statement about something in an objective sense, people take it as your impression of reality rather than your self-aware subjective preference.
It's the equivalent of a bait thread, because people who actually just want to talk about a game go to the general or make a 'comfy thread'.
If someone starts a conversation with a statement, they're not looking for discussion, they're looking for an argument
Does e weather change in this game when you change the clock like in XBC1? I'm trying to get Cloud Sea King Ken to appear in Tantal
People are allowed to really really like things, and it's understandable to phrase it hyperbolically in that case
Just cause they got strong emotions doesn't mean they're trying to hurt you man
Im not sure, the more reliable way is to fast travel off the titan and back on until it worked. Thats what I did in Lefteria for aurora
Post torpedo tits
you get plenty of rare blades in the story though and through side quests. Enough to cover all the field obstacles as long as you level them up normally. again SEETHING you didn't get the robutts, delicious brown ice, etc is just bitching about cosmetics and meta shit.
Having strong emotions is fine, posting on Sup Forums with "THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME" is what you say when you're trying to get a rise out of someone.
>boy I sure do love dev cock up my ass, mm, stretch me raw miyamoto
You've got me there, ahaha
We're all a bunch of jaded cockends here, for sure
But all the same, if you really think the game's good, then you've gotta expect other people to think so too
There'll be some outside-v folks who'll say similarly hyperbolic shit, and you've gotta be prepared for that, Y'know?
>not an argument
not an argument
I mean, your Freudian need to cast everything as gay sex does fit in with your obvious faggotry.
>argumentum ad non argumentum
>mm yes devs don't give me content I paid for it until I've EARNED it in your slot machine game, yesssssss
Right but language and connotation matters.
People who like a thing make 'comfy' threads or just go to /vg/
Or even they present a solid list of their own points about a game.
>argumentum ad non argumentum
The cancer is evolving.
Ya'll must be mad hongry for anime titties to be willing to choke down gacha in an offline game, jesus
>mmm yes devs, dont let me hit enemies with my gun until a bullet in the spray randomly hits them
