So... is this Wii U's first "WOW" game? I say so. |
Have you ever played Xenoblade?
|
Yes. Xenoblade is my 2nd favorite game of all time, actually. Xenoblade is also not a Wii U game, so I wouldn't call it Wii U's first "WOW" game. Unless that's not what you're implying.
|
No what I was implying was that Xenoblade is an awesome game and X looks just like it in HD. And I wouldn´t call Xenoblade a "WOW" game just because it is different then most JRPG´s
|
Can't agree there. X looks like a major revamp in gameplay and graphics, at the least. X features incredible draw distances and exceptional environmental detail that I believe goes far beyond what Xenoblade would look like in HD, and it appears to have a much more active and exciting approach to combat along with exploration.
Now, I would call Xenoblade a "WOW" game not because it's different than most JRPGs. I would consider it a "WOW" game because it's very unlike any game I've ever seen. I haven't seen or heard of a more interesting game world. I haven't seen a game reward and encourage exploration as much as Xenoblade. It's straight-up phenominal and I wish other games across other genres would exhibit at least a fraction of Xenoblade's smart design and creativity. Xenoblade demonstrates what I always wanted from the Wii (and Wii U) - a system where good ideas are king, not shiny graphics.
But a "WOW" game doesn't mean perfection. I have a laundry list of improvments I'd like to see in a Xenoblade successor. And so far, X is just about what I was hoping for, if not much more. I'm going to go watch the trailer for the tenth time.

It's a WoW game, it literally is WoW in single player mode that you can finish. Yep, single player World of Warcraft, yep.
|
That too. It gets rid of the thing I dislike about WoW - other players - and in this new game, replaces them with what I assume will be a group of online buddies I handpick to help me out whenever the AI (or my own skill) doesn't live up to the task.
You almost got me started on a rant about how I feel about MMORPGs in general. Be careful. Such a post might break VGChartz.
