What's wromg with you, guys?
>>318429934
Polygon gave it a 7 so that means that /v/ hates it and will never play it.

why does kobato have such a fat pussy?
>>318432557
You're a very very small minority, and Nintendo won't miss your business if you decide not to buy XCX over Lyn being censored.

Riddle me this concerning the removal of the bust slider:
1. How many people were going to buy the game but will NOW not buy it because of the removal, what do you think?
2. How many people who were not going to buy the game will NOW buy it because the bust slider was removed, what do you think?
>>318432680
Is Lyn the potato?
>>318429934
What relevance does this image have to fiora and Shulk?
Anyone have any videos of weapons other than Sword + Assault Rifle? Everyone seems to just be playing the Duelist line and never branching out into any other class. I'm mostly curious about javelins and sniper rifles.
Let's just avoid discussion of the censorship. The same shitshow goes down on every thread that discusses it, so we know there can't be any productive discussion on the matter. Nothing I say will change your mind, and nothing you say will change mine.
On that note, anyone who's played the jap version or seen more vids than I have know what damage types are in the game? I've gone over screencaps of the jap menus and know just enough moonspeak to have worked out that there are 5 or 6 types in total, and that three of them are 'electrical', 'fire/incendiary', and 'beam/laser', and that one is simply called 'ether'.
What is the other one, and is "ether" it's own damage type or does it just exist to distinguish between physical and nonphysical damage?
>>318432810
She's a videogame anon, don't you see the controller?
>>318432948
aww she thinks shes people
>>318432948
I'm never going to use her in my party, hell once I reach level 60 I'm dropping every npc from my party.
>>318432859
Other than their voice actors coming back for Xenoblade X?
Nothing, I just wanted to post the picture.
>>318432948
just realized it would be nice if someone edited the .gif so it looks like lynlee is jerking off two guys
the hand motions are fine
>>318433084
it's going to be rough playing without a shield using healer for that long
>>318432948
uncanny valley here we come!
>>318432948
Lynn is the cutest!!!!
>>318432654
it's filled with gaijin tears
>>318433240
She's not a healer, there are no dedicated healing moves.
I haven't looked at any of the reviews, as I want to experience the game untainted myself. However, I am curious, how much time will I be spending in my giant robot?
>go to download data packs
>the required space for the digital version of the game decreases on the data pack download page
Does this mean you can partly download the digital version before it goes on sale or is it just the eshop being weird?
>>318433240
It's going to be even rougher never progressing beyond the first couple chapters.
>>318429934
The dub is legitimately one of the worst I've heard in the last 10 years. NoA is fucking awful for ruining this game that was looking forward to. Fuck them. I thought this duv might actually be good.
>>318432680
I don't mind the censorship really. As you said yourself it makes easier for me to not waste money on the game. I will still be playing the game on my CFW, though.
So since I will be sexualizing Lyn on future threads, see you there anon.
>>318433253
that is the exact opposite of uncanny valley
>>318433431
more kobato pls
>>318429934
I spent the whole month of November scouring through my local stores for pre-orders but as of today, they're either not available yet or out of stock.
I found the collector's edition on Amazon Italy but it says that the game is in Italian, is this true? I'd prefer my box and game to be in English.
I'm not from the UK so I can't order from Nintendo's site either and GAME is over priced.
>>318433431
>literally bullshiting to justify his piracy
nigga if you pirate just do it, dont justify it with excuses
it is lame as fuck and put a bad rep for the rest of us
>>318433353
There are, actually. Check the Shield Trooper and Bastion Warrior arts.
>>318429934
I'll still be waiting a while to buy it used
No incentive to buy it right away when I don't like their localization process and will be waiting for announcement for a different release or a patch that restores the removed content I want.
>>318433383
The data packs work by partially downloading the game, as the WiiU loads data off of internal storage or ext. hard drives faster than off of disc. The idea is that keeping frequently-accessed data on the WiiU's digital storage will speed up loading times for disc users. Consequently the data packs make no difference to those who play the digital game, and are just a waste of space.
>>318432105
One reviewer mentioned the outfits and it wasn't even Polygon and it was one or two sentences.
The problems bad reviewers had with the game had nothing to do with the artstyle or armor design.
>>318433383
why would you download a separate data pack to play a digital game.
the entire game is a data pack. it's not reading anything off a disc.
>>318433824
>a bad rep for the rest of us
Not him but who "us" and reputation with who?
Projecting your worries on others is just pathetic, fuck off.
>>318434168
Yes, the question was more whether it just lumps the data pack in with the digital version of the game. Euros can't preload it yet, but we can get the data packs.
>>318434521
>tfw glorious american master race with the game predownloaded
>>318432948
>those cheeks
Potato-chan already a best! <3
>>318434601
I don't really get why they're being such faggots about it. It's not like preloading has never been done in the region before, and this is probably the biggest game Nintendo's made.
>reviews don't mention the censorship
>they don't mention the dub-only bullshit
>they don't even talk about the gameplay mechanics, just a summary of the plot
>>318434963
Because normal people don't give a shit about autistic weeb problems.
>>318434963
>thinking anyone but 300 pound naruto nerds care about muh kawaii nihongo bullshit
>>318434963
Actually most reviews have said the story and voices are terrible.
>>318434963
I wish more of them talked about how bad the dub is. The voice work and script are genuinely awful. I don't see how anyone can defend it.
>>318434963
I've read at least one review that talked about name changes. They still gave it a good score.
>>318435478
No they don't, but thanks for mixing your game up a little.
>>318435606
Did you see the gamestop review? They were trashing how bad the VA is.
>>318434963
Reviewers are shit. What did you expect?
The same shit also happens with bugs, performance and so on.
>>318434963
It's a great day when shitposters lose, I agree Rich Evans.
>>318435718
Oh you mean the review from the guy who rushed the story, got mad he couldn't rush it fast enough and apparently skipped most affinity quests because he said the characters are lifeless?
>>318431970
God I hope so. It won't reach that high but maybe they'll still kill themselves anyway.
>>318435881
The story is bad in this game thats a given, hell even Takahashi said he'll try harder next time but you can't honestly listen to the english dub and think its good.
>>318435718
But that review doesn't mention the dub quality at all.
>>318435718
>gamestop review
>>318435718
>gamestop review
>>318432842
1. The number of people that were actually excited for this game and will never buy it because of this is in the hundreds.
2. Between 0 and 7
>>318436167
>>318436338
Only when they praise games like Bayonetta they're good.
>>318436432
I couldn't care less what they upboated for what reason. Ditto for what they've downboated.
>>318436018
I think it's fine, what now? Would I like the option to pick between Jap and Eng? Sure. Do I really care when they won't bother to sub the battle audio anyway? Not really.
>>318434963
You're right on one part, Considering how shitty this game's VO work is compared to Xenoblade Chronicles I would have thought more people would have brought it up in the reviews.
>>318436592
Who cares if they didn't sub the battle dialog?
I would prefer that over the discount Motoko and someone pretending to be a little girl.
They should have not dubbed it at all and just focused on subtitles since it clearly wasn't worth how ever little they spent on these subpar VA's.
>>318436592
>LETS MURDERATE EM
>The SKELLeton Crew
The dub is legitimately bad, theres no point in pretending otherwise.
>>318436708
Exactly, Xenoblade had a decent dub, apparently, as well as the original audio. The fact that the sequel has neither is pertinent and should be in every review, yet hardly any of them fucking bother.
>>318436432
No gamespot is always shit. Same with kektaku and polygoy
>>318436848
I care because I want to pick up on everything they say in battles, not bits and pieces.
If fucking Bandit Scamco could do it for HD Symphonia then so can everyone else.
>Age
Really nigger? You do know Mariya Ise is 27 right?
>>318437020
>Same stuff but in Japanese
Mmmm, yes, glorious Nippon, who cares that the localized script is still there as long as they say puns on Dolls in Japanese.
Undub faggots not even once.
>>318437069
>Xenoblade had a decent dub
I think it was better than decent. There were probably only 3 or 4 line deliveries or voices that made me cringe in the whole game and that is well below what I'd come to expect in a full length voiced RPG.
>>318437416
If you're going to waste time dubbing your game spend money on it, don't get the literal bottom of the barrel union actors for big roles, and if you're going to get someone to play a little girl make sure they fucking sound like one.
Tatsu alone is reason enough to mute the game.
>>318437416
>responding to pissbaby-kun and his phone
anon pls just post your waifu
>>318437416
>who cares that the localized script is still there
Except it's not you fucking turbonigger. NoA made numerous needless changes to the script. Not to mention the godawful voice work.
>Don't worry
>We'll be changing that
>>318433431
Cfw that doesn't even exist? Nice bait faggot.
>>318433143
don't sexualize potato-chan
>>318438214
Skell is such a bad name, it reminds me of Esty Dee.
>>318439317
doll was worse
>>318438596
It's getting there, though.
>>318439806
At least doll is a name for a mech, skell is what happens when you get people who think ironman is harcore mecha to work on a mech game.
>>318439916
and this is a doll
terrible name
>>318430520
Holy fuck that´s low as hell. Sells are going to hurt.
>>318439806
doll makes more sense
>>318440046
This is a Doll.
They both suck.
>>318438596
>>318439826
I don't know if it's CFW or not, but you can already pirate Wii U games if you stoped updating at 5.3.2.
Xenoblade will probably require a higher FW I bet.
Doll was a cool name. It evokes something eerily non-human, subconsciously unsettling
>>318440115
no that's a skell
>>318440046
>While the distinction is often hazy, mecha typically does not refer to form-fitting powered armor such as Iron Man's suit. They are usually much larger than the wearer, like Iron Man's enemy the Iron Monger, and possess a cockpit from which they are operated.

More evidence than you've got.
Find one example of a mech being called an exoskeleton.
Protip: you can't
This thread sucks, I'm outta here
>>318440773
>being wrong
>>318440491
Pretty sure most people don't think eerie or unsettling when they hear the word doll unless you give them a context that's eerie or unsettling to begin with.
>>318440969
You mean like being stuck on a different planet?
>>318429934
>implying anyone here is weaboo enough to play XCX
>>318440773
If it's wrong and you've got proof go correct it.
Otherwise shut up.
>>318441172
>referring to wikipedia as proof
>>318441104
you think you're funny don't don't you? You are.
>>318441104
Not sure why you'd consider that eerie. Getting into a horrible accident or being attacked are not eerie events.
>>318441108
Is this a joke?
>>318440893
>>318441172

Anyone got the class tree image?
>>318441417
>>318441705
here u go senpai
Fuck, every time I see gameplay footage of this I get excited.
Three days...
I beat Xenoblade recently and I'm playing around with codes
Is it possible to get Mumkhar's level beyond 23 or give him decent stats that aren't OP? Tried the better stat code but it just temporarily made them all 9999 which was too OP.
>>318434963
I've just read one reviewin spanishand it said, in one of the biggest problems in the game, was the dub only bullshit.
Should I do a shit load of sidequests in between story missions?
I heard that the main story is really short, so I'm thinking about dragging it out but I'm worried about overleveling.
>>318443072
It's still longer than most JRPGs.
>>318443072
You have no choice, the game will force you to be a high enough level before the mission starts.
just power through the affinity missions and skip the cutscenes to get them over with quick and you'll be fine.
>>318444159
>just power through the affinity missions and skip the cutscenes
Why would I do that?
>>318444159
I don't think skipping cutscenes is going to help him drag the game out.
>>318444376
They're just shit like listening to some general talk about bonsai trees while he hates xenos, they're just there for easy exp but with unnecessary long cutscenes that add nothing.
>>318444562
Well I'll decide for myself they're shit or not.
