Xenoblade X Eurogamer Preview: Maybe 2015's Most Impressive Open World

I liked Midna way more than Fi, but on the flipside I liked most of the cast in Skyward Sword while Midna was the only character I enjoyed in Twilight Princess.

Skyward sword also had

whci to me was a great villan... strange but great
 
To be fair TP had it as well with rupees, at least the Wii version anyways. I'm so excited for TP hd.

Wait, what thread is this?

Whoops just saw the edit.
It's a zelda thread now because someone had to disagree with an S rating of twilight princess
ok enough zelda stuff ;p
 
I was going to mention this earlier but the official website for Xenoblade Chronicles X was updated.

All it really has so far is media like trailers, Survival Guides, the panel at PAX, some concept art and wallpapers you can download. There are 3 wallpaper images that each come in 6 sizes: 640 x 1136, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 880, 1280 x 1024, 1336 x 768, and 1920 x 1080. Really nice since the only physical form I have of these pictures is the soundtrack's booklet.

 
I ment a different pic and edited it

GAF never forgets.

There can never be enough. At least until Xenoblad arrives and I forget about everything else for a while.


My attempt to transition this back to on topic.


I love Zelda talk.

I love it too. You can tell a lot about a person based on what Zeldas they like/dislike.

For instance, If they don't like Twilight Princess, they'll probably stab you in your sleep.

Beautiful. Thanks for the link!
 
Does anybody know if Bestbuy do release date delivery? I tried checking my order but it didn't mention expected delivery date.
 
Look at this guy, doesn't know the Beetle trick.



Imagine if they did this in Xenoblade.

I know it's off topic slightly, but what was the Beetle trick? lol

On topic, watched the question/answers with Chugga... WTF, you can't have multiple save files? In a RPG? Really? o.O Maybe I heard that wrong. They said "one per user" though..

Yeah, one per user (meaning you can just make a new user on your Wii U to have another save file). I haven't kept an eye out if there's autosave but I don't think there is, so you can go through with something like a choice and then reload your save to before the quest.

Basically, be ready to go through with your choices. Guess I'll have to search online for cutscenes I want to see again.

If you grab an item with the beetle it doesn't show you the message. Truly the item's ultimate function. I got real good at pulling the beetle out of my inventory lol.

And yeah I remember some games used to have tons of save files available. Weird trend.

This game is really using everything on the Wiiu disc, like everything.

Well, I guess that's something. And on the plus side, I'm a save-file-aholic sometimes, so this will prevent me from ending the game with like 50+ save files, lol. I still think there should have been options to create multiple save files, though.

Ohh, I think I knew that about the beetle, but forgot. :P

Hmm, not sure how that relates to having more save files on the Wii U itself. I feel like the online elements are to blame for only one save file. No idea if that is the case, but wouldn't be surprised.

I still haven't finished Xenoblade Chronicles (heck, I reached the friggin Gaur Plains, which is like what, 5-10 hours in?). Still, I am so tempted to just pre order this thing. ;__;
What?
Duuude, Gaur Plains is one of the best parts of the game, keep going!

Also, any site which gives Twilight Princess an S cannot be trusted.

Maybe the S stands for "Skyward Sword is better." ;)
Blasphemy.

I dont think online has anything to do with it, its all about disc space, why do you think pokemon always had one save file? Because the world and just everything in general took so much space on the cartridge, funny thing is, cartridges have way more space and the pokemon games dont take up as much room as they did in the past that theres actually no reason why theres still one save file but I digress, this game took up so much space, and now with the free DLC being included with the game, means that any space that was left is just gone now.
 
I find it interesting that streamers and let's players are digging into the game. I heard they only have 3 hours of content to show which is nice, since I don't want to see much more. Although I wonder when they'll start showing off Skells.... probably any moment now.

Hey guys, just leaving this here since it may have been forgotten, but someone took the 32X24" poster of the cover art and made it into a digital image, so super high resolution.

blessed~

the thing with the pokemon games is that starting with gen 3, they had two save slots, just that the game would rotate which game slot you saved to, so if one save file corrupted, the game would still have a back up

That was right after release. Then I paused and did other stuff and forgot about it. Picked it up again and reached the plains again (but only just left the Cave after the Spider). Did other stuff again... xD
I am never going to finish this. ;____;

Yeah GameExplain is doing their stream today. I've been sticking to content that is up to Chapter 2.


I didn't know what was going on in Japanese version so like I'm looking at game for first time now

Ohh those are awesome, I hope we get more upscales of the concept art like this one, especially with that bigger artbook coming with the special edition. I need a nice full wallpaper gallery of this stuff.

Oh, and I was bored so I made another video that's probably not as good as the last one I did, but I'm happy with it: https://youtu.be/Ld4CwXV4B9g

Honestly I thought this one was better!
I'm a sucker for well made fan trailers. I use to look for FFX ones before it came out.
I loved this, so thanks. :)

The game hasnt even gotten started yet haha. Take your time. I beat xenoblade over the course of a year and loved it.
 
Gotta love hyperbole.
I just find it interesting that Monolith Soft, on their first true open world, is getting so much praise from Western reviewers. And are being compared to games on their third iteration so favorably.
It just makes me more excited to see what Monolith has in store next.

No Man's Sky levels of exploration but now with even more mechs. And mechs the size of planets if you have the resources to make!
 

You're not in Kansas anymore. You're on Mira, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact, every second of every day. If there is a hell, you might want to go there for some R&R after a tour on Mira. Up there beyond those walls, every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for JujuBes.
 
Gurren Lagann with nopons, basically.
If their next game doesn't have Nopon mechs, I'm going to be so pissed.

Now I hope TreeHouse gave Elma that exact speech...
