Xenoblade X is getting 90+, I don't see how anyone would think otherwise.


I dunno about that. It got a lower score than the first one on Famitsu and Kotaku said that it was 70 hours of boredom so anything is possible.

70 hours of boredom amounts to a score of 34/40 today? OK.

Anyways, I don't think XCX will be 90+, but high in the 80s is probable.

Am I missing something? Why is Xenoblade going to get criticised for its gameplay?

Haven't you heard about the Monolithsoft curse? Every second game they make is destined to suck. Sumthin like that.

WHy is it rated so high. 2 hours is really bad.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet :p

He should have gone further with his exaggeration though and said 40 minutes with probably close to 10 being cut scenes.

Or he could have been accurate and said 5 hours with many reasons to replay it.

 

As for the topic, it's unlikely it will be the wii u's highest rated game of the year

I'm looking forward to play it, it seems like a fun game. Nintendo is giving it a lot of promotion, and reviews are good, so I will give it a chance.

I think 2 hours is about right really.  Brilliant game that I really loved similar to Flower but not a long one.  As for the original quote, don't know why it couldn't possibly be rated highly at 2 hours.  That's like putting an arbitrary minimul for low long a movie has to be to be good.  Long as the price reflects the length I'm good with it.

Think about it like this: a huge world where you can't do much aside from repetitive and boring missions. 

It's not like I think that's true (in fact, I don't care, I still would like the game, I know what I received in the original game), but I have read that in many import reviews. It will be criticised, just enough so it can't get a 90+ score.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Do you mean like the Witcher 3, Skyrim or Dragon Age Inquisition?

And I heard the main story (that is like 60 hours long) is not boring or repetitive at all, and if by "many import reviews" do you mean kotaku... eh... don´t worry.

Tachikoma has played the game and she thinks is the best game of the generation, she gave us a ton of links about the score that japanese people gaves to the game on diferent sites and it was above 9 everywhere and we get a statistic about the enjoyment of the game, and it was widely positive.

People voting for Xeno? ...okay. That seems highly unlikely
