| bigtakilla said: Monolith Soft. They were a throw away developer for many studios, having both Xenogears and Xenosaga rushed to their completion (which was very noticeable if you played the series). After they were acquired by Nintendo, they seem to not only have been trusted in handling Nintendo's major franchises (such as their help in the development of Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds, Animal Crossing New Leaf, and Pikmin 3), but have released what is widely regarded as the greatest JRPG of 7th gen with Xenoblade Chronicles. This is a MAJOR feat considering how far removed from the rest of the series the game actually is. |
Xenoblade, Xenogears, and Xenosaga 3 might have been a good game, but the whole "they piss excellence" isn't true. You make mention that Xenogears and Xenosaga was rushed to their completion right? Xenogears was, sure. They didn't have the time to finish the entire second half of the game so it's a lot of text. Xenosaga though? It wasn't rushed to completion until the third game, and t hat was only because the main writer quit. Xenosaga 3 also happened to be the best in that franchise. The first one had a great story but the gameplay was horrible. The second one had horrible gameplay and the storyline while decent, could be skipped completely. If they pissed excellence, every one of the Xenosaga games would have been great not just the "rushed" third one.
And what about Project X Zone? I've never played it, but I've heard that while it's fun at first, it becomes very boring very quickly and stays that way for the rest of the game. That the only good thing about the game is the fanservice and flashy combos, but after the first dozen or so times, they get old. Would you call this "pissing quality."
Just because their latest game is good doesn't mean they haven't released some bad games.
