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

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.

Hmm.. I will find out in December if that's true or not! Hopefully its score won't be too affected regardless.

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

Oh yes, super unlikely, impossible I would say, a huge open world rpg (the biggest ever done on a console) with an epic story, the gameplay of a game with a 92 on metacritic, 300 hours of content and online multiplayer is impossible to reach a 90, those naives nintendofans...

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


Actually, based on Japanese reception I would be very surprised if it's above 90. Probably low 80s.

And what do you know about the japanese reception? the famitsu score?? Because there are a bunch of othr sites in japan where the game has been highly praised, and if you go by sales or famitsu, I let you know that XC was only 2 points above (34 vs 36) and it sold about the same on a console with way more sales, so you are getting the "japanese reception" out of your ass, with this japanese reception the previous one had a 92.

I would assume by Japanese Reception he's talking about user scores such as these:

with XCX getting 3 and a half stars compared to XC's 4 and a half.  I don't personally put much weight in user reviews but I figure if one is going to talk about general consumer reception this is one of the few metrics.

I'm a pretty big fan of the "Xeno" series so I follow it closely. The reception has been polarizing based on accounts of people who've played. The overall reception is still positive, but the faults will likely keep it from being 90+. I've already accepted that, perhaps you should too considering that response?

And what about this japanese reception?

I have seen very good reviews all around, of course the game is not perfect but "the japanese reception" is pretty similar to XC and this game was made with the western public in mind, unlike the first one, so that can easily explain why in some places they like it less.

This goes for Torillian comment too.

Three of those scores are under 90% on the scale. You aren't helping your case. Anyways, let's let the thread get back on course.

Those are from a coment tachi post in a thread time ago, I edited it  because they have changed with time, I realize of that later, but that is still a good reception.

Devil's Third must be one good game then.

Probably FF fanboys scoring the game down.
