thats the weirdest thing i ever read xD shulk pissed you off xD LMAO. hmm well you should go back and play it more, when you get the hang of it after like 10 hours its super fun, and in the end everything makes sense, Xenoblade CHronicles X was actually much different from the first one, so i got a bit overhwhelmed, but not in a bad way.Now after 62 hours im starting to master it more and more. and thats why i like about the game. I never give up, and play until i beaten it. Play the first one through, i guarantee you, the story is awsome and its really cool. And its worth playing just for the music.

What pissed me off was him, or any character, doing so withouth my command. To put it simply, for me Xenoblade tried to mix turn-based and action JRPGs and the result was awful. The thing I like the most about turn-based combat is having full control of my party, something that you can't do in Xenoblade. With action RPGs, I prefer the ones that let me choose how to attack whenever I want, instead of needing to wait for an attack to charge before using it again.

In Xenoblade I don't have full control of my party and I don't have full control of the action, it's a mixed bag that I came dislike. It's sad because I read more than once that the story is great, but I can't force myself to endure 70-90 hours of a game whose gameplay I hate.



i never knew someone would dislike this awsome gameplay so bad. Well everyone has our preferences i guess. I myself find it kinda of refreshing from most standard RPG where its always turn based. I like those alot too, but actually fight everything at once and go around the monster, and come from behind and doing BACKSLASH, or SIDESLASH!!! is satisfying to me atleast, and after 150 hours with the first game im still not tired of the battle system.
