I want discovery to be organic and varied. Tower discovery is overdone at this point - time to take a break from it. If they've removed it, I'm more than happy.

@agramonte: I've had the exact opposite reaction and been telling my friends to buy it because it's great. Just goes to show different people like different things. (I think the reviews mostly reflect that too).

I personally think Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a great game. I give it a solid 8.5 and would mark it a 'must buy' for any jrpg fans. That said, the game was only out for 3 days amongst a crowded holiday lineup and didn't have a ton of advertising so I'm not sure what they expected sales wise. Surprised it wasn't released before black Friday or afterwards in Q1.

I thought the kerbal devs went to valve?

Amazon has never missed a delivery for me and usually delivers early. I've ordered something at 9pm and gotten delivery at 10am.

Best Buy, Target, and Walmart all consistently miss delivery dates for me.

Definitely agree that missing the target ship date is unacceptable, especially without any communication. That said, they're consistently the fastest service. Especially when buying things "shipped and sold" by Amazon.

Obviously this is my own experience but around here everyone uses Amazon without issue. It's far from the Walmart of online orders in regards to quality of service. If they mess up they always own and and usually do an amazing job of trying to make their customers happy.

I will say that the marketplace orders sometimes get delayed. I usually avoid those.

@Barighm: AMD has burned me so many times I'm not willing to go back unless Intel/Nvidia start to suck.

That corrupted pack east of the first area was kind of tough early on. I probably could have made it easier without fighting all 4 of them at once though lol.

@PSYCHOV3N0M: This is true but they designed the game with coop in mind (the joint coop where you share a lifepool is a prime example). What I don't get is why they made a change that makes the 'helper' coop experience even more trivial forcing players to coop with someone who already beat the content. The change definitely didn't make the game harder and I don't know why they tried to justify the change by saying it did.

@Prats1993: In this case they dumbed down the coop so that it makes the game easier - the developer trivialized the difficulty by making it so that the people you bring into your game have already done the content and just smash through it.

At least the way it was before was blind coop so that there was a chance of failure. They made it easier with the justification that the game is now harder - which it isn't.

So they made the game easier but justified it by saying it was done to make it harder? I fail to see how making it so that the people you summon into your game have already beaten the content makes the game harder. Seems like it just trivializes the experience even more.
