@Raansu: People seem to like the soundtrack or hate it from what I've been reading. I thought because of the trailers and music directors it would be amazing. Can't wait to see this Friday.
Just for people interested in playing the game, Nintendo has released 10-minute long Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide videos on Youtube, There are about 5 that talk about combat and missions and things like that. I found them very helpful and I feel if the reviewers saw these videos before playing they would have a better understanding of how to play the game and it would not seem so daunting.
A lot of game developers use e-manuals these days. I prefer to read the physical copies but I understand the point. I'm probably one of the few that will read the whole game manual 1st.
I like that they said they were trying to fit in as much as possible and have things make sense. They are not trying to cater to the casual jrpg gamer. Thank you!
@digigamerx For most team games players usually still run off and do their own thing so it will be interesting to play this because it will require actual teamwork.
@wexorian I agree with you for most of what you said. Re-masters, delays and over-hyped games. 3-4 games worth it yes. Do I buy next-gen consoles for indie games? Personally no but maybe the majority of gamers do these days, in that case, it was a good year for them. I mainly like exclusive games. The quality is usually higher. Out of all the consoles the Wii U had the best games. I'm just waiting on a reason to get a PS4 or Xbox One. I haven't been impressed with anything I've seen thus far.
@tendoboy1984 They have a certain reputation and quality to their brand that they do not want it to fall below and set high expectations for themselves. They are usually pretty good about not hyping up a game more than it deserves. Just look at the ratings of their games. How many articles do you see about their games having tech issues?
@youre_a_sheep I understand the frustration but I just try to look at it as them not wanting to release a glitchy game like Skyrim or DA:I. I want to look at the positives or I hope that's it at least, lol.
