Wow, so much criticism about this game, i guess peoples really dont want the sequel to one of the best JRPG around. But i guess its the Nintendo cycle? Every time, every game on WiiU, have been criticized to hell and back, and in the end, the reviews are glowing and everyone's happy to be playing them on their HDTV rather than an analysis that tells you there's 1 frame missing in MK8, causing a huge controversy on the forums -_-;

You can disect every freaking games out there and find shit about them if you really look for it. Im a PC gamer too, so its not like i have no references to what good graphics are.

But im sorry, i seriously cant find any freaking comparison to such awesome mecha RPG action, i wish i could compare with horses or highways, but i dont find 3 stories tall mechs in them.. smhhh

I was looking through that video where the guy is customizing his male avatar, and man, those are some ugly ass faces and hairstyles. Hopefully ,the female avatar has better options. There's like one anime face and the rest are creepy looking western fellas. On the bright side, X's exploration seems like it will be more enjoyable with more to do and less restrictions. Xenoblade 1 was thoroughly satisfying to explore, but X takes it up a notch.
 
Strange thread title.

I'm looking forward to this, and I'm gonna buy it day 1, but some of this texture work is embarassing. I guess it's to be expected on an open world Wii U game, but it will hard to go from GTAV pc to this.
PC GTAV is such a dumb comparison*. The original release is 1 1/2 years old. And someone hasn't played GTA Online. Have you driven through Los Santos for N64? I have

* "Developer X can do better, they just need a couple more years! Also, more powerful hardware"
 
Can someone explain me how the gameplay works? it looks like a target enemy, auto attack + cooldown skills type of game like in wow?

I think it's partly what you said, a sequel to GAF's favorite JRPG haha. Also I think it's because of the bitter wait for US/EU players is starting to get to people. Not being able to play a game with such a large scope + a message board where everyone is talking all the time is bound to lead to some nitpicking of looking at the same stuff over and over.

Meanwhile I'm watching/listening to this stream up on twitch and my god the music is fan-freaking-tastic.
 
Between those videos and the stream I am watching right now the music is far better than I expected, and I thought it was pretty decent from the start.

It's very much like an MMO. Never played WoW but I'm guessing it'll be similar. Theres some moves that do bonus damage or inflict debuffs if executed from a certain position from the enemy (eg. Backslash). There are auto attacks (gun) and cooldowns. Chain attack is the big move but I don't know much about chain attacks in XCX.
 
When I first heard that Hiroyuki Sawano was doing the soundtrack for this game, I knew it would be amazing.

I am not disappointed.

I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on this.
 
Man the environment and creatures looks great, then the camera pans around to one of those creepy faces.

I loved xenogears and xenoblade chronicles, but I just couldn't get in to Xenosaga, and character appearance/design was a big part of that.

There was a very active thread about the combat music a few weeks ago but I didn't hear it in these videos. Is that thrash metal with the "ratta-tat-tat" percussion reserved for boss battles or something? I was relieved not to hear it. The music I heard in these videos seemed perfectly fine to me. Breathing a sigh of relief. Game looks and sounds great to me.

That's kind of the thing about the artist's music. It actually kind of fits whatever situation its in. It's just that their not "listen to away from the source" music.
 
I watched the intro then stopped but the game looks great and I don't want to spoil it too much. So far I've been cautiously optimistic about how good X will be but any doubts I still have are quickly falling away.
 
Wow this game looks incredible. Nice to see a big budget JRPG that's not final fantasy and one that looks so fresh. Dat soundtrack!
 
Refurb Wii U's off Nintendo's site are basically brand new right? About to buy one right now.

Speaking from experience, they are indistinguishable from brand new (at least mine was). I believe they also come with a one-year warranty.

Back on topic.

Today, I've read on NeoGAF that the Legend of Zelda, Uncharted and Devil May Cry series are crap video games, Shakespeare is poorly written, and the visuals in Xenoblade Chronicles X are unimpressive.

Today, I am glad that I don't live in the god-damned Bizarro World. Good riddance.

Im not gonna lie.

I was really excited when the first trailer was shown, and we had that awesome music...

And then I was all wtf? When the 'sing speak wjat you see around you' rap showed up with the first of the many vocal tracks.

But....

Now...

Im kind of starting to feel it.

But are you really?

Are you really feeling it?
 
Really looking forward to this. It feels like a long, long time since I've played a quality sci-fi jrpg.

Today, I've read on NeoGAF that the Legend of Zelda, Uncharted and Devil May Cry series are crap video games, Shakespeare is poorly written, and the visuals in Xenoblade Chronicles X are unimpressive.

We all know the only true measure of a game's quality is how good its LOD rock textures are.
 
My god, it's beautiful.

So wait, they went from 3 character parties to 4? I haven't been paying that much attention.

I just realized this earlier today as well. Now at least I can have some variety in my party since I was planning on always having Elma and Lyn with my in the first place. With 3 party slots I would only be able to have them with my main, but with 4 I can rotate and try others in my party. Gotta make sure I play all the characters this time though, every time I play Xenoblade I stick with Shulk alot cause I forget I can switch. I have been playing mostly as Dunban in 3D though, dude is the definition of badass
