Xenoblade Chronicles X is a Disappointment

Xenoblade X is not for everyone. While some may love it, the game has its share of problems.

KaladinStormblessed3768d ago

Who actually bought Xenoblade X for the story? The main focus of the game is being able to explore the whole world and find its secrets, not to mention fighting an extremely cool and large variety of creatures in a very well developed battle system. Music isn't the greatest, I agree with that, but the story is alright. When did video games ever have a non-cliche storyline? Very few at all have a good story. By video game standards the storyline is actually good.

The story isn't that bad as everyone tells it is!

No, it's terrible, deal with it.

contradictory3768d ago

i did.

't was a bad decision on my part.
should'ave made some research before i bought it since this is more of an MMO than a sequel to the
Xenoblade Chronicles i remember..

Mega_Volnutt3768d ago

Yeah, specially MGS5 cheesy soundtrack moments that made me cringe quite a lot, actually more than Xenoblades. It's all about taste, not ones individual opinion.

JevonDee3767d ago (Edited 3767d ago )

I guess you didn't grow up in the 80s? I loved hearing most of those songs again. But you're right..to each their own.

The game has a lot going for it and seems to be one of those games that, if you can get into it, you can kind of get lost in it's awesomeness, but it will still have a few things you wish they did better.

It's a solid game, hard to call it a disappointment.

Troll article at its finest. The game has an 84 Meta score and I would give it a 9. The story actually isn't that bad and had some twists in it I didn't expect. Besides you spend FAR more time exploring than listening to story. The game is deep, vast, beautiful, utilizes the game pad well, and has a complex rewarding combat system. If you don't like that might I recommend candy crush?

thepatientgamer3768d ago

User score on Metacritic is 8.8. Even more impressive score given the number of trolls that frequent that site.

I think 8.8 is accurate.

MSBAUSTX3768d ago

Yeah I do too. Especially considering it is released on a console widely viewed negatively by the trollers.

Apollosupreme3768d ago (Edited 3768d ago )

It seems like almost every game released nowadays is a disappointment. Not in my opinion but in the realm of bloggers.

asadachi3768d ago

I think it's all just clickbait these days; it doesn't really matter what they write as long as someone goes to their site. Negativity and blanket statements seem to get the clicks they're hoping for.

"Xenoblade X is not for everyone."

Playing it right now! It is awesome! Good thing I held myself back from buying this last year. Now I can't wait for XC2 and XC3 to have the same enhancements and upgrade.

repsahj97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

And yes, even XC1. But I haven't tried and owed it yet.

Vits97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

Honestly, it’s kind of bizarre how rough native Switch players had it with this game for years. Aside from the original Wii U release, Xenoblade has pretty much been a series that felt better on emulators than on the actual hardware, mainly because of the blurry image quality and unstable frame rates.

It’s good to finally see an official version of the game that doesn’t look terrible and apparently is stable.

ABizzel197d ago

This is exactly why hardware matters to a decent extent.

It effectively took a 900p@30fps, maxed it to 1080p, then used DLSS to upscale it 4x in resolution to render at 4K, while also doubling frame rate.

Darkseeker97d ago

I am waiting for a physical copy.

repsahj97d ago

Nice! Almost 2 months waiting is not that long.

Hmmm interesting. Hopefully true, liking the slowly but surely partnership between the big 3. Just imagine all the xenoblade games officially on pc. I think mcsft going 3rd party but still making consoles fits them.

Kneetos361d ago

Xenoblade chronicles X is not there

Either removed or the picture shown was edited, but it is currently not there

NettosGameRoom361d ago

You can still view it using the internet archive!

TheColbertinator361d ago

This is good. Real good if Nintendo is smart to capitalize.

jznrpg361d ago

I would bet a lot of money it’s not happening

GotGame818103d ago

I don't see this happening. Nintendo has said the "Only place to play a Nintendo game, will be on a Nintendo console!". Yes I know people are using emulators, but that isn't what Nintendo intended.

MAYBE, if Nintendo does decide to port X over, it's because it is an Xenoblade game that is stand alone.

X, is my favorite Xenoblade game in the Series, because of Skells" flying your Skell and battling with them feels great!
