And here comes another troll review. This time it's from DigitalCentralMedia.
The art style in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is pretty lousy. I’m not an anime hater. In fact, I’ve watched a significant amount of anime throughout the years. I’m not one to hate an “anime” art style, but I really do have to call out the art style in this game. It’s generic and cliche. Those are the best words to describe the art style. Rex’s design is so generic, cliche and boring you’d think Sorey from Tales of Zesteria has a godly design. I’m not saying they have to have the best artist’s in the world, but I was just expecting the art style to be a little bit more “appealing.”
Methinks thou doth protest too much. How many times does this guy have to say I? Such terrible writing. How exactly is the anime style cliche? You'd think he had the sense to give specific examples. Nope.
The Voice acting will make your ears bleed. It’s an abomination. Never ever have I had to play a game in Japanese because of voice acting. Never. I’m usually able to withstand poor voice acting in JRPG’s, but I just couldn’t stand the voice acting in this game. I just felt like throwing my controller at the TV every time Rex said a single word. Absolutely horrendous the voice acting is, and I’m disappointed in Nintendo because of this.
The cutscenes were also abysmal in this game but mostly because the English dub completely ruins them. Voices were a little bit out of place.
A Japanese patch was included. Use it.
The combat system in this game was mediocre and overcomplicating, and it was also very tedious and annoying. The other characters were pretty much useless in battle. I also really hated the way the gameplay was so slow. The lack of a proper tutorial in this game was also absurd. The gameplay was very messy and hard to follow and overall it wasn’t very enjoyable at all.
Yes, mediocre and "overcomplicating". If you didn't even have time to proofread your own review, I doubt you bothered to play the game fully. Again, there's no specifics, just saying that it's bad. But how is it bad? He doesn't say.
I didn’t really like anything about this game. The music was great though. I’ll give it that. I really did like the battle theme in this game. I’m very disappointed with this game overall.
I didn't really like anything about this game. I liked the music. What? You either didn't like anything or you did.
He gave Xenoblade 2 a 53/100.
He also scored Sonic Forces a 75/100.
