"It does take a while to find its feet, but once it starts going and you click with the combat, it’s an RPG that engulfs you in its long, amusing adventure for many hours, one that finished up Nintendo’s 2017 with another great Switch game."
NE: "We look at each Xenoblade Chronicles game's performance on Nintendo Switch and how each one would be impacted by a Switch 2 Edition or patch."
What makes it even sadder is that if you jailbreak your Switch 1, it actually runs those games better than the Switch 2. Since you can, on the fly, change the rendering resolution and overclock the device to handle it.
I’m currently playing Xenoblade X like that and it’s great, no FPS drops, and even in handheld mode, the game looks very clear. Though, I have to say, I’m still a bit divided on whether I like or dislike the changes they made from the Wii U version. On one hand, everything looks cleaner and the models feel more alive, but on the other hand, it looks less unique.
Saying X looks less unique is not something I ever expected to read. I think the character models look quite a bit better in the Switch version (not that I thought they looked bad in the Wii U version). The world and monster design are some of the best I've ever seen in video games though I'll still give a slight edge to Xenoblade 2's world design. Leftherian Archipelago is my favorite location in any video game from a visual standpoint followed closely by endgame of Xenoblade 1.
If you think the Switch version models look unique, I have dozens of anime titles to sell to you.
I was talking about the world and monster design being unique, not the character models. Guess I should have made that clearer.
Monolith Soft may be hinting at a remaster of its action role-playing game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, for the Nintendo Switch 2.
They should update these games for the switch 2 hardware, might as well as we wait for the next new xenoblade game.
2 is my favorite in the series even though it's the one I have the most issues with.
So outside of a side by side comparison you would never notice a difference between the original title and the remaster?
It’s depressing how many people want to keep buying the SAME GAME on a new platform.
NE: "We go over a big list of changes and adjustments we'd like to see in a hypothetical Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition."
I love this game as much as Tora loves big, tasty sausage.
This game has me hooked. It took until about the third episode but now I can't get enough.
About 60 hours in. Despite my hatred for some of the voice acting [Rex especially so] the game itself has been good. Though in my time I've spent far more time foraging, exploring, doing side missions and killing mobs far more than playing the story. Think I'm on Chapter 4 atm? Unfortunately it does have some technical difficulties which can be a little annoying at time. Overall though the characters, blades, worlds, game play have all been top notch. Interested to see where the story goes and on that note time to find out. *continues game*
