20 hours in with a major focus being placed on completing side quest and exploring. I can say without any hesitation anyone still holding back that this is the best game on the Wii U and ranks as a toss between either my favorite or second favorite RPG in the history of everything.
1. Obviously game of the year. This really defines to me what the difference between Nintendo and everyone else is. While people are running to the "create DLC and charge insane amounts" model Nintendo and Monolith Soft develop a game so complete that if I was Ubisoft and EA (name your typical DLC villain) I'd be ashamed of myself.
2. If no one at Nintendo is pushing for Xenoblade Chronicles HD as a Wii U or NX title I'd question the entire board of directors desire to make money.
3. I noticed how this isn't for the kids. This game demands more of you than most anything else in the market. Unlike the Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 that start off very strong but Xenoblade continues to burn a desire in me to keep going and it truly doesn't feel like there is an end in sight.
4. Can we get a Skell Amibo of 1/60 scale plz...
