Onion BASHES Xenoblade Chronicle 2 for Disrespecting the players time

So, is the Onion right about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 not respecting the players time by making shit take way too long?

Just kidding, obviously they are right, and anyone who had fun with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 probably has way too much time on their hands, becuase it completely disrespects the players time.

I've been posting about this for weeks but I'm glad to see the Onion agrees with me too. I can't believe anyone here likes this game, but when I remember some of you are NEETs who don't need their time to be respected, it makes more sense.

Xenofags BTFO
The Onion is based, they've always given 100% factual, non-fabricated news that alt-right media (Fix, Breitbart) and the soymedia (CNN, The Guardian) would never dare deliver

Are you disagreeing then?

If you don’t have the time to play a 150 hour game don’t buy it. Are you mentally handicapped?

Plenty of more casual games out there that respect your time

Um, lol.

Being a long game =/= disrespecting your time, I thought that was clear.

It's not the fact it's long, it's the fact it wastes time. Shit takes WAY too long to do, the cutscenes are fucking nightmares if you want to keep up but don't give a shit about watching a high-school fucking anime.

WE ARE

So don’t play massively story heavy games

It’s a Japanese rpg, of course it’s going to be story heavy

At least the Xenosaga cutscenes did have some quality writing and themes to think about
But Xenoblade 2 is just fanservice

>Onion
You mean the ex-satire site that was bought by a Hillshill and turned into a standard lib fake news source over night?

Just skip the story scenes

The story is nothing special anyways
The combat system is surprisingly deep, nuanced and fun

I stopped reading the onion nearly 2 years ago. Fuck off

JAPANESE GOBURIN

i smell eric

As if people who read american ”news” have something better to do with their time.

But the newest patch will let you skip even the tiny rest of unskippable stuff.

>There are people on Sup Forums right now that don't know that The Onion is a news satire organization that exists just for the lols.

whatever you say buddy

It’s pretty much a paid leftist mouthpiece nowadays

But it's not even satire as the cutscenes can be skipped.

Onion hasn’t been about satire since it was sold, it unironically posts shit like that nowadays.

The real highlight isn't that cutscenes can be skipped, its that they can be paused. Why don't more games have pausable cutscenes?

N-nooo you can’t take a break from our ”experience” WE’RE TOO IMPORTANT FOR THAT REEEEeEEeEeEE

I love story heavy games.

But yanno, it should be like 80% game 20% story.
Not the other fucing way around.

Never seen a RPG this bad. Even Persona games which are 60+% story, you can at least fucking rush through that shit as it's mostly fun text messaging rather than "supposedly important story".

This.

Read the point its making.

Yea should probably just do this but sadly kind of just got out of it. Might pick the game up again someday without the story next time, thanks

I always assumed it was a technical limitation, not something people refuse to implement for aesthetic/immersion reasons.

>t. never played Xenoblade 2

But the game has 80% game 20% story.
It's just so massive even the 20% are really big.

>not getting the obvious satire
Low functioning autism is a rough thing.

>Read the point its making.
It isn’t making one. Fuck off with your crap advertising.

Well I kind of agree, way too many cutscenes for my tastes with way too many lame anime cliches and tropes, it’s just not all that interesting. If the characters and story were a bit more dark or stoic kind of like xenogesrs it’s be dope but it’s not. I lived xenoblade 2 but it has plenty of problems

If they’re incompetent maybe. I can’t remember a nip game without a pause function since the nes short of mobile-centric shit.

Seems like whoever wrote that article is a genuinely huge fan of the game. They namedropped an optional sidequest.

Do you fucking retards actually not get the joke from that article?
I swear to god browsing this board gives people down syndrome.

>person who doesn't play video games googled "100 hour rpg" to write his funny
>average Sup Forums faggot too stupid to discern it, instead is glad someone agrees with his fat ass

Every time.

No idea. Even Xenoblade 1 scenes which were in engine could be paused.

10/10, made me reply

I get the joke, but it's not funny.

that's not even true. they mostly put out the same shit but every once in a while put out a blatant shill article to appease their masters.

10/10, made me reply

>It isn’t making one.
Haha

That's why it's funny.

Full time retail manager with 140 hours on the game, and I had 70 of those during the Holiday season when I was doing 65 hour weeks.

It’s a matter of enjoying your downtime, and I like Xenoblade.

So what, because it isn't funny, you're upset instead?

>the onion is leftist because it makes fun of MUH GOD EMPRAH
Take a joke, bingus

Xenoblade Chronicles wasted your time like nobodies business when it came out, not because of the cutscenes, but because of how you HAD to listen to a voice line whenever you level up a skill and how it took 20 fucking seconds to be able to skip the core crystal awakening scenes. They added the option to skip those things now, but man I probably spent at least 5 hours JUST waiting for that shit to play out.

Yea, OP here, and I feel dumb about throwing in the “NEET” jabs etc. i spend just as much time on other games...

I just couldnt finish this one. The amount of time building just got to me

Yea the voice thing when leveling up is another killer... interesting if its patched out finally

I completed this game in 60~ hours. Is that a bad time?

So you skipped cut scenes and/or didn't do any optional things?

Do you really not understand that they're shitting on the type of person that dumps huge amounts of time into an RPG but still complains about "wasting" time in cutscenes

I did actually focus on side-quests before moving on. Still, ended the game with around 4-5 side-quests left. I'm gonna go after all the H2H's and Rare blades now since I didn't get so lucky on the way.

I've played WoW since 2004 and have never read the quest flavor text or watched an entire cutscene.

not him, I watched all the cutscenes and did minimal side quests/exploring, beat it in 55 hours. I don't know why the fuck people inflate the xeno game times, I've heard idiots saying the main game alone in xenoblade 1 takes 80 hours

You know, there are such things as multiple layers

Of course, the tagline and surface level is making that elementary joke
Reading it you see they use specific examples of Xenoblade poorly using time. They're not just using any fucking game, they're using one that actually enhances the title's point, showing that a long ass game CAN make people feel like they are wasting time, even though they're already happy spending 130+ hours on the fucking game, they don't want to spend another fucking 50 on a poorly made anime to be included in it.

I finished around 55 hours. I didn't skip any cutscenes but I did miss a lot of sidequests. Personally I felt weird stopping to do random sidequests bc the main plot usually felt pretty urgent, and I figured I could just go clean up the sidequests after I finished the game.

FARMERS

Well I've seen plenty of people say about 100 hours which is what it's taking me. I've also seen many people agree how a battle that seems like it should take a minute will take 3.
Sure, I "suck" at it, but apparently lots do too if I'm middle of the pack. Shit takes for fucking ever.

...fucking what? Are you literally retarded?

>normies think spending 137 hours in one game is a long time
I probably have close to 1k hours in New Vegas and I've never even done a legion playthrough. 400 or so in Skyrim and if anyone asked I'd say I didn't really like the game all that much.

opposite, normies spend hundreds or thousands of hours on one game (e.g. FIFA)

>completely missing what it's actually making fun of
Why is OP so retarded?

I hope you're being ironic...

Retard, it never stopped being satire. If morons start using it as a credible source, blame the morons not The Onion.

I bought the first Xenoblade Chronicle thinking it was a fantasy game. Fuck plot twists.

>taking the onion serious

One could say you waste your time watching movies to

if you don't like cutscenes, dont play RPGs, go play FPSs. There solved

>people act like it's shitting on the game's grindiness
>the only thing it's making fun of is people who get butthurt at a fraction of the game being cutscenes or loading in comparison to everything else you do
Jesus, it's not even that long of an article. The only person who should be getting mad at it is ACfag, since it's directly targeting his retardation.

Why an FPS and not superior platformers?

fantasy and sci fi are basically the same.
They share the same tropes, the same grand structure., The only difference is one is explained by "muh magic"and the other is explained by "my advance science that humans cannot understand"

That's not true.

everyone in this thread is retarded

I made myself retarded just so I could post in this thread and tell you all

I hope you're happy

>i play story based games then bitch about the game having a story

What's the best onion skit and why was it the one where the parents put their child to sleep

I hate how onion pretends to be satirical but is actually making real commentary about everything under comedic guise

Remember when The Onion was good?

>Whaa i dont have time for this game
>I have time for some literal who clickbaits and ecucks faggotry and shill how long the game is in a mongolian cooper testing board
Snap your neck

But that's what satire i-- wait, are you doing satire?

137 hours? That's a shit load of time for not liking the game. I finished the game in 75 hours.

>AC Fag is resorting to using a literal satirical article to shit on Xenoblade
THIS IS PATHETIC

Fuck off shill

You mean this wasn't written to be satire, but as a kotaku article?

JRPGs players are manchildren with no criteria nor standards, who haven't experienced neither good gameplay nor a good story in their entire lives.
More news at eleven.

That's not how you spell moronic.

Then complained about the easy material to get. If he really wanted to send a signal, he'd complain about farming Salty Soil.

>Sup Forums still falls for the fucking onion

The Onion is for fags now. Let's talk about how Tora is the best character in the game and will forever be /our guy/.

>neckbeard NEET with degenerate fetishes builds his own robot waifu

That's not funny. That's sad.

Gee I wonder who could have caused this to happen:

Complaints from people who didn't like XCX:
