Reviews are harsher this generation, where as last generation a lot of games seemed to be over-inflated.
Of course Im sure other things take place, but Xenoblade X is looking good with solid reviews.

Fallout 4? Witcher 3? That's really high praise. Goof stuff.
I don't think it's about teams figuring out CFC at all and I'll tell you why - they are making way too many basic mistakes, shocking mistakes for footballers in the premier league. The Eva situation should have never happened, though I think the club moved on from that now. They just need to do some basics right again.
Deco is a hero man, he deserved better. Scolari messed things up big time at the club, no doubt (look at what he did to Brazil last summer
) My wife and I enjoy watching Barca very much - best attacking side ever IMO.Good luck on your exams bro! Hope you enjoy finishing Xenoblade when you're done.
Next time there's a game I'm this interested in I'll try to
I think ratchet and clank is the next one that I want and that's February.Askherserenity

If I read correctly, the player who's avatar you recruit for your party actually gets all that XP they received while partying up with you. Win win!

Great, thanks. I might check it out. I feel like I don't actually need to see anymore of the game, but I still kind of want to lol

I just listened to it but didn't watch it.
No spoilers in the audio, I doubt there are any or many in the video.

Metro - 8/10
"Xenoblade Chronicles X is the JRPG of the year"

You're right, and that is an interesting trend that I'd like to see more. Are there any articles exploring review averages over time?
A few weeks ago there was an article tracking IGN alone, and I know there's stuff out there for Famitsu, but no general study that I've seen.

Lol I know. I'm sick in bed though and I can't concentrate long enough to read through dozens of reviews and I was hoping someone would have noticed a reviewer with that particular situation
Was there even any other big JRPGs this year?

28 reviews added on metracritic, pretty good reviews, I expected a 79, looks were looking at a 82-85 on metracritic.
Not really. There were some minor releases though I guess.
It's not a chore to play with Off-TV Play, but the game is more accessible if you play on the TV as the GamePad has the map for fast-travel and such.
Yeah just seems that title isn't saying much, now if they said RPG of the year that'd be something.
Hehe.^_^ So it is the exact opposite as Devil Third here. If the game is not released like at all, i am sure the game will forever in our heart stays as 10 out of 10.^_^
Tales of Zestria,Disgaea 5, and FF Type-0 I guess.

Was thinking the same thing.
There were a few on the 3DS. Can't recall any big ones though.
EDIT
Well, there you go 😐

Big? No. JRPG? Yes, Trails in the Sky SC, which will probably be my JRPG of the year.
Does Type-0 HD count? That would be a notable, though it certainly hasn't had a favorable long term valuation.

Wiitalia: 9/10
"Xenoblade Chronicles X is a masterpiece for Japanese modern game development and one of the best Wii U games. An incredible open world game with very solid technology and a amazing art direction. The contents are even overwhelming, and this alongside a not-so-focused narrative pace, could scare some player. But book your travel to Mira: you'll never forget this journey!"

Wow, 20 of those reviews are above 85 (17 are above 90), and yet it's sitting on an 84 right now.
They have yet to count any of the 10/10s it has received though.

Should have just said RPG of the year, for the lulz.

Well it bombed, so that might explain a lot.

Have had it preloaded waiting to play since I could. I can usually trust Jim Sterling's tastes to line up with my own and his review really got me hyped. I love games with a lot of systems at play and this game is going to be pure bliss.

Metracritic doesn't count all reviews only certain websites, and it's actually 28 reviews now.

Seriously, go read up the Fallout, Driveclub, The Order, the original Yoshi Wooly World thread was pretty bad with low scores, Halo MCC thread, Witcher thread, etc. All of those have some really bad posts with a large amount of them where they are constantly trying to discredit the reviewer, find any little point and try to make it seem like what they write is not right. This thread has been nowhere near that, even the Bayo 2 thread was bad about it with hating on Polygons review, but this thread has not even had that, and I've gone through alot of it.

Not really, but they did say the following, which is pretty high praise:
"...a game that absolutely deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4."
Also,
"The best Japanese role-player of the generation and arguably the best open world environment of the year..."

Okay hype has taken me. I haven't played a JRPG in ages. Over the years I've sort of floated over to the western RPG camp. Any tips or suggestions for a newcomer to the series?

Disgaea 5 comes to mind since Persona 5 got delayed.

Not that im aware. People tend to look at scores without merit sometimes. It doesnt mean the game is worst. Games are scored differently through different times based off different expectations. I think by this point it is hard to surprise people because we have seen it all for the most part, hence lower scores this generation.

This deserves to be bought. But i doubt i have time to play even a fraction of the game..

Some people were angry that it got good scores as well.
Reviews Threads are the best for people that don't care for reviews
higgsboson1997

Yeah, I know. I was just surprised how despite 20 reviews being above 85 and 8 being below, it is still 84. I guess it's that high weightage for Polygon's review.
Oh. Well yeah I've seen that on other threads too. But its still gross in any case to be acting like someone's opinion doesn't matter since its not intune with your preconceived notions kind of like how the kotaku review was downplayed so much.
