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

i saved up all my vacation time just for this game taking 2 weeks off (1 week will be paid atleast)

I wish I was jobless until the end of the year!


Plus, one thing is that i've read that Importers weren't happy and it has hit my hype a bit, but I want to see how I feel about it rather than 100 other voices.


Haven't played a game without reading people's opinions on it in a while, so this'll be fun. ;D

Being a responsible adult is fucking rubbish. I didn't sign up for this.

Pretty Much! I don't get paid enough to handle this!


I mean, how can I GAF AND play? It's gonna be one or the other.

and before anyone asks that exactly $1,300 in eshop cards and that doesnt include what i used my credit card for because they dont make $1-5 eshop cards.
 
So how many of you guys will be only talking about the game AFTER they have done it all?

I think i'm gonna run away from NeoGAF for a month or 3 until I complete the game 100% so I don't get blinded by other people's opinions or experiences of things.

I want to go in fresh and then write a long essay about what I thought of the game 5 months after it is out. :D

Oh not me, there's gonna be lots of talking.

Lots, will probably post impressions, comment about things, will most likely be asking help about specific stuff. Setting up squadrons with members, etc.
 
X GONNA give it to ya right in your pizza asscave. Uh uh uh yea

?

Xenoblade Chronicles X |OT| X Gon' Deliver Pizza To Ya Asscave! Uh Uh YEAH!

I'll come back with a Beard and be like "Y'all hated this game?! I'll tell you how great it is playing without help!" XD

damn son
 
Indeed it is, but hey they'll have to pay me a good amount of money, which I'm starting a business with, that means I'll have more time to spend with my kids and family. Blessing in disguise.

I hope so anyway

If X is teaching me anything, it's that the public is dying for a pizza place in an asscave. Opportunity knocks.

Good luck with all the life stuff.

I'm not going to wait until I've done it all. Probably just the main story to avoid spoilers, but a big part of the fun I had with Xenoblade was the mutual give and take of helping everyone out with questions of where the hell to find everything, optimal character builds, taking advantage of overpowered art/skill/gem combinations... I could go on and on. I'm hoping to do this with the in-game online features as well.

So I heard, you have money you don't want and would like to give me some of it, right?
 
Oh wow, I knew the map was big, but goddamn. Not THAT big.

And here I was thinking Zelda U would beat it.

I don't think there was ever going to be a competition between em. Zelda doesn't have all those rpg systems of grinding/buying/upgrading stuff to fill a world like Xenoblade's. Not to mention a ton of development focus would go to the dungeons.
 
so is this game multiplayer like an mmo or it single player with multiplayer quests??

Thinking of buying a wii u for this as it looks like PSO meets final fantasy online and thats kinda awesome :)

Single player with multiplayer quests you can unlock. You can also trade stuff and rent other people's avatars for use in battle.
 
Yeah, the level of pop-in is quite extreme, and that would detract from a lot of experiences. It definitely seems to be a rather remarkably optimized game in any scenario, which is quite welcome in this day and age.

are you saying the pop in still exists on the disc version even with the data packs?

Funny to hear Derrick's favorite character is Lin, I though Elma would be the most popular one by default.
Guess they didnt reach the end of the story yet... :P
For anyone that's contemplating getting the guide due to the lack of 'available information', I've got a big spreadsheet I've been working on full of stuff. The only significant things it's missing right now are enemy drops(and the Cauldros enemy details), and a section for devices/crafting, but I should have most of those bits done by the English release.


Btw Caaaaaw, how long it took for you to get the Ares.90?

Don't be droppin those hints.

But yeah when Elma collapsed into a black hole in order to defeat Jerghinga's final planet destruction form...she really stole the show.
 
The wait is getting real long now, the last stretch of a long wait is always the worst. Really got to keep myself from looking up more footage.

I'll give a +1 on these two:

Xenoblade Chronicles X |OT| X gonna give it to ya
Xenoblade Chronicles X |OT| Uh Uh YEAH Uhh Huh Uhh Yea!
