gumby_trucker said: ok, quick update. Last time I posted about playing the game was about two weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't have too much free time since then, but I did manage to play the game for another 5 hours or so, after a long time that I hadn't touched it. I think I understand better now what to expect of this game, and seeing that it is such a huge experience, there's no point in nitpicking on all the little details. Having said that, it also turns out I wasn't as far into the game as I had remembered (only just got to the ether mines), and it does seem like the game is starting to pick up and be more diverse and interesting. I truly have no idea how long it will take me to finish Xenoblade, at my current rate it could take me a year or more, but I'm hoping to be able to complete it during the summer if all goes according to plan. So this is just a note basically saying I am enjoying the game more than I was before. |
That sounds cool. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it, but, of course, it's difficult doing it without being able to play for long periods of time. It's one of those games which you really need to appreciate by playing it for a fair few hours continuously, over a few days, to really get hooked by the story. It doesn't matter how long it takes anyway, so long as you're enjoying it!
Also, yes, if VGC numbers are right, we could easily be looking at 800k by year's end. But it's if the VGC numbers are right. Take nothing for granted!
