IGNs impressions of the game begins at the 28 minute mark.

>Affinity quests lock you out of doing the Story quest. You also cannot quit Affinity quests once you've started one.

>The world isn't as memorable as other open world games

>Enemies feel static

>The game is too talky

Basically they hate the game. Expect 6-7/10. 7/10 if you're lucky.
>>
Fucking Bump

It's IGN, Fallout 4 can have a million bugs, it will still get a 95/100

XCX can have just 1 issue, and it's instantly a 7/10

Literally nobody expects Xenoblade X to be good. I loved the original, but this shit looks plain bad, in every way possible. IGN are right, as usual.
>>
>>317419874
IGN is fucking biased. They said they enjoyed the game besides how certain missions lock you from story missions, and he hated it because as a reviewer he has limited time, and his kek friend tried to justify it as if it affects everyone. It's the same with the AC game, where that SJW bitch decided to give the game a 5 when it was obvious she enjoyed it and the flaws made it deserve a 7 maximum but not a 5.
They find a little detail in games that they weren't paid to give good scores, and from that they go on and on to give those games the lowest score they can

Step 4: For hidden gems browse /v/ from time to time, if a non-advertised game gets threads every couple of weeks after it's been out for years chances are it's good

Works for me

What videos have you watched that make you go Nah, I don't like anymore.

I am really interested in it, but I haven't watched many videos. So if you've got a negative one I can decide for myself.

If you want to of course. Maybe even just a point in the right direction.

You're a fucking idiot. If you seriously can't remember which buttons do what after five minutes of playing the game, you're an actual literal retard. The minimap is pointless since there's a more detailed map on the gamepad. The doll fuel gauge is pointless since there's a fuel gauge next to your health bar as well, as well as gauges for the rest of your party members' dolls (the one on the right of the screen only shows how much fuel your player character's doll has left). The squad quest icons are completely unnecessary since if you wanted to do squad quests you'd already be at the BLADE concourse where you can select whatever quests are available from the network play menu without having to check which ones are available. The enemy levels are just an eyesore, and you can check them by hitting R when you're near them anyway.

Never was a problem for me at all when I imported it. Unless you're trying to speed run through the story you won't have an issue, unless you're terrible at games, which IGN has shown many times their reviewers are.

>The world isn't as memorable as other open world games
I disagree, its geometry and vertical design compared to the original is staggering and is way more impressive than Witcher 3 or Fallout 4s.

>Enemies feel static
I don't understand this? You mean how they move in combat like its not an action rpgs like Tales of? I guess if you didn't like the way the original game did it then I guess this would be an issue for you.

>The game is too talky
Not really, if you mean giving you tutorials while still giving you exposition I'm surprised they're not jumping with glee considering they complain when games don't give them enough help. I think they did it fantastically with making it all seem so seamless.
>>
>>317422784
Literally an offline MMO. At least Amalur had some pretty good combat.

>>317424703
We must have played different games because Xenoblade just gave you the illusion of a large open world. That game was a straight line where you had zero reason to backtrack.

“Being several years behind others in the development of an HD title and taking into account Monolith Soft’s company size, there are just some thing that we could not achieve, which couldn’t be helped, but in order to move on towards the next step, there was no avoiding this. And that is the truth,” writes Takahashi.

Takahashi concludes by saying that he’d like to use the experience him and Monolith Soft have obtained in the development of Xenoblade Chronicles X in order to make his next title something that is rich in story

Even Takahashi knows he fucked up

It was still a interesting idea that you climb along a sword and then into a open wound to enter Mechonis

This is just another planet, nothing interesting about it.

Except the planet has great geographical locations that aren't just generic forest, desert, lava areas, but have more to it if you actually took the chance to see them. Which is the point because its all explorable on foot and a mech and they were able to craft that in such a brilliant way, why the original game had nice setting the geometry and vertical designs were pretty plain, they weren't as interesting to explore once the novelty wears off.

Sword Valley for example looks cool from afar, but traveling through was anything but.

Not even in the context it does mean this. Its pretty much just like before, there is criticsm and they heard it. And this is pretty much what every dev says when there is feedback.

This is the site that gave GodHand a bad score and throws "does the same shit as last time" in both the pros AND the cons depending on who is paying them.

He's looking for shit that exists in Fallout and other Bethesda shit. He compares it and talks about how there are settlements and shit in those games but not XCX. But in XCX's world it doesn't make sense to have stuff because how it's an alien planet. It's fine to compare it to Bethesda games as there are enough similarities but at some point those similarities stop and so should the comparison. He obviously would rather be playing FO4 instead.

IGN and Gamespot aren't the only review sites, you know.

Gametrailers is spot on 90% of the time with their video reviews. You may not agree with the number score (if this is the only thing you pay attention to, you deserve to be misinformed), but the review itself is always extremely accurate.

I'll probably end up agreeing with IGN on this one. XCX looks like a disaster in the making. Xenoblade reminded me how great the JRPG formula could be. But from what I've seen with XCX, it looks like Monolith Soft is going in the complete opposite direction. Less focus on story and adventure, more focus on boring, quest-grindy elements and the awful "bigger open-world = better game" mentality that Skyrim forced on us.
