"Xenoblade Chronicles taught me an important lesson: Never trust the Internet." lol

Same writer, earlier this year.

"after replaying for a few hours on 3DS I think now I hate it." "when Xenoblade first came to the US (...) as I played, I kept looking for reasons to like it—I wanted to give it as fair a chance as possible. But in retrospect, I just can’t stand so many things about it."

Thats about the 3DS version specifically. Maybe it doesn't translate well to handhelds? Maybe the game aged badly? 

"Keza MacDonald: I have, although not quite as much as I’d have liked to. I finished it on Wii, and despite the fact that I literally just played all the way through Majora’s Mask again on 3DS with no complaints, I’m finding Xenoblade a bit of a tougher sell on the handheld. I’m not anti-remakes. I’m pro-remakes. But a game like this is tough to play on the 3DS. That said, I’m amazed it runs it at all."

Seems pretty straightforward.

Keza is not the one that did the review, that was Jason and that's the guy the_dengle quoted.
