bigtakilla said: I think a lot of the wow factor for me was not only how good it looked, but the fact that there were all kinds of secrets in each area where you can find hidden rooms and caves simply by exploring. The videos were they ran down the middle of these areas before released never put emphasis on that at all, and is easily the most enjoyable part of the game. The first time I flew into one of the giant flowers in Noctilum and fought a nemesis it literally was an "AHA!" moment in gaming to where I found myself going through the rest of the world all over again to try and find all these secrets. Not to mention no video could ever prepare me for how big these land masses truly were. You walk around FOREVER and complete a mission and go back to Blade HQ and check the map and see where you went to notice you barely cleared 3 or 4 hexagons on the map. Not to mention seeing the game on my big screen without any video compression, ect, I was impressed. Very impressed. |
Certainly in terms of suprises with enemies and such, it was incredible. I think you're refering to the Mortifoles. I was not prepared to fight them lol. After I died the first 3 times, I decided to jump in the lake and avoid them entirely. That was an even bigger mistake XD. Overall I liked XCX sheer gameplay wise the best, but the wow factor in terms of new places didn't have the same sense of discovery. Definitely deserves (and needs) a sequel of its own though.
