If you read, watched and understood them there wouldn't be a problem. Maybe it actually deserves a 7/10 given Nintendo Life's penchant for giving high reviews for most games they review because Nintendo hype can't take a rest this year and if they review a game too low then Nintendo fanboys will jump down their throats like they did to Jim Sterling when he gave Breath of the Wild a 7/10.
@jdbruiser7 жыл бұрын
What? What sort of traction are you talking about? There's nothing Jim Sterling gains from giving Breath of the Wild a 7- he didn't give it a score so butthurt Nintendo fanboys flood his page if that's what you're saying. And when is a 7 a low score? Comparatively lower than most critics yes, but have you read the review in full? If you haven't there's nothing to talk about.

I’m late to the party just hit chapter 8 but I started playing years ago. Over 300 hours I’m massive OCD. Have basically done everything possible the game has to offer all side content maxing out all rare blades etc. Just finishing up the story so I can start Torna. I also have Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition which I’ve never played the first one. So soon as I finish this and Torna I have that game to experience for the first time ever. Love this series so much. Was massive fan of Xenoblade on PS1 and PS2, and despite what some people say I also enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles X.

MonsterKat The handheld mode isn't the limiting factor in this really. They could port X and get Wii U level performance in handheld. What causes the issues is the agressive Temporal AA which causes blurring issues with the 720p resolution. On a technical level, it far eclipses X, with more physically accurate and detailed materials, improved lighting (godrays and an approximation of ambient light/global illumination being stand out additions), higher quality shadows, much more robust collision detection, far more dense and much more detailed folliage (notably transitioning from single-plane billboards for grass to proper, multi-plane meshes), volumetric cloud simulation for both the cloud sea and the clouds in the sky, ambient occlusion, per-object motion blur, screenspace reflections, much more detailed water shaders, and a nice use of particle effects here and there. The TAA is also a major addition but due to the 720p resolution and some flaws in implementation, it causes image quality issues. And the game was not well optimized for handheld, causing the dynamic resolution scaler - which is inactive in dock - to go postal. The region that shows the 2 engine off the best is Leftheria, with Uraya a close second. They suffer the least from image quality issues and show off the improvements the best. Especially Leftheria.

If anybody reads this 3 years later and wonders if this game or the switch itself is worth it : yes it is. the switch remains the strangest console, yes the graphics are.. well, not ps5 level eh :P or even ps4, though the incredible ease of play and even the cartridges (if you dont go digital only which has pro and cons) add a certain weird personal feeling to it all. Even the way nintendo keeps you appraised of discounts, news, your progress in games, it feels very personal. Its hard to put it into a simple way to be honest, but its really surprising. Similar to graphics, yes on 1080p it can actually look worse (never ugly though) than on handheld mode, due to the relatively small screen that yes limits the ease of viewing all the action (imho) but it looks really sharp and the 2019 switch really can pump out 4 o 5 hours of battery life. (uses about ~10% every 30 minutes on breath of the wild, so do the math) Its quite nice to watch these videos of nintendo games from around the release of the switch.

imo, I'd say a game like this is perfect as a game alone. Sure, TV series can be more polished visually but the story route is always A-Z; whereas in games you're the one in the adventure experiencing it, and there are multiple optional things to do with objectives and exploring etc (so it's more so A-B-G-L-Z etc depending on how you play if you get me?). Exploring in xenoblade is rewarded with experience and stunning viewpoints and that won't really be captured in a TV series setting as it will be more centralised on plot and the main story route of the game. I feel that the sense of involvement is lost in comparison to the video game, and a lot of things people enjoy in game won't be/aren't present in the film/series counterpart. Same can be said for most games tbh, hence why the respective movie or series adaptations are lackluster and/or suck. This is my opinion though and people enjoy different things so some may disagree. Just thought I'd share my view on something like this!

One problem I have with docked (and this has nothing to do with the Switch, mostly) is my TV is old fashioned without an HDMI input, meaning I can't even play docked mode without a new TV. And said TV is of the big and inconvenient to move verity, so I don't want to move it out of the way to replace it with a plasma screen. Disgaea 5 and Splatoon 2 in handheld mode is good enough. I really don't like the sound of tedious arbitrary and gridy tasks being made necessary to progress. If I have to google search how to best find a blade with a second ability and the RNG ends up taking a dump on me with extra hours of searching for it, it makes it seem undesirable. It'd be like a Pokemon game that expects you to find a female Slandit or Combee, a less then 12% chance in addition to the odds of encountering something else. No thanks, keep necessary chore like tasks simpler and less RNG heavy.

Finished my first playthrough recently and about to start a new game plus and I'm loving it so far despite how grindy it can be. My only gripe is just the huge gaping plot hole that is Amalthus. Everyone knows he's Malo's Driver so why in that actual fuck is he still alive? Back during the Aegis War did nobody once have the thought "Oh hey rather than sending thousands to their deaths trying to fight this literal weapon of God himself why don't we go to his more vulnerable and completely mortal Driver and stick a knife in his neck so he can choke to death on his own blood". Is being the only person to get to Elysium such a prestigious title that his life outweighs entire countries?

It is not a plot hole. Amalthus status is unrelated to Malos's. That is pointed out by both Malos himself in the cutscene where he tells Amalthus that he leaves him. But also we see Malos existing after Amalthus' demise. The Aeges can be active even after the death of the driver. Amalthus death would have prevented a lot of terrible things, but it couldn't have stopped Malos.

The game is great. One thing though is that i wish that the main menu would be mapped to the X button. I cannot tell you how many times ive pressed that button, thinking that itll open the main menu but get the skip travel menu instead. Maybe its just that i need to get used to it though

my few complaints: combat starts slowly, and if you go on sidequesting/training detours, it begins to feel stale until you unlock the full combat system. most of the time, combat feels unnecessary, but unique enemies and bosses shine. affinity trees can feel very grind-y, but also feel rewarding when you clear one or more at a time. there arnt enough menu shortcuts; for all the time you spend in the menus, there are only quicklinks to 3 of the categories; fast travel(X), quest-log (Y with the ZR submenu up), and settings/save(-). you spend a lot of time in the character menu and one other that is a tiny spoiler, but there is no button shortcuts for them, so you always have to open the menu and scroll. there is one blade in particular that is quite a nuisance, due to how you unlock every affinity for it, and it leaves a real sour taste in my mouth whenever i focus any attention on them. it requires keeping them unequipped and constantly going into the one menu i havent talked much about, which has its own limitations... *anything more is spoiling the mechanic, so here's your warning.* in the menu you can send squads out for resources. you start with one squad slot and unlock 2 more as you get better with the menu. the blade requires one slot be reserved for it for several hours and having to constantly repeat the same missions to earn a type of exp exclusive to that one blade, and they always require more than just that one blade in the squad.

Everytime I play X I can barely see the text, it made me sad that I couldn't fully understand the game. The manual really helped.

The Tales series had these mechanics years ago, Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube had Artes even and very similar camera, combat and general mechanics(amazed all the reviews I've seen haven't mentioned this fact). That is one of my favourite games of all time like, so this is a must have game for me!

I don♥t have docked mode in my switch lite, and will no doubt not miss it. Found XC1 on wii too boring just before the spider boss. Won't complete it but it will still be fun.

The game is fantastic and very heavily story based just like the first, but you will have some trouble wrapping your head around the combat system, so be ready for that.

As a person who has a switch and has not played previous game in the series. The combat looks hectic and so complex. It scared me away from buying.

The game starts you off with NOTHINg xD, they gradually teach you the combat in a way that it becomes natural to you. watch the first hour of the game online its slow af and almost nothing happends. A blessing and a curse

Paranormal Pete it brings you into it slow and still has tutorials after 40 hours of playing. Its not a complicated as it looks watching someone play. You would get the hang of it quick, it would be a disservice to own a switch and not play this.
@joemann79717 жыл бұрын
The game can be a bit overwhelming, depending on what you're doing. This game easily has the most explanatory tutorial from all the games I've played, and once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad.

I think the UI and fighting is a step down from XB1.. The gameplay of XBC1 feels like a more refined version of XBC2 which is the opposite of what should happen. I feel like they changed it just to change it.. not because they had a better idea.. they perfected it at the start, XBCX visual style made it look more complicated but still was great and then this just devolved :/
