Seriously flawed games that you love anyway

Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The UI is crap. The map is ABSOLUTE TRASH. The lack of english lip sync is EXTREMELY noticeable, often to the actual detriment of cutscenes. The animation for said cutscenes is often stiff. The audio mixing is garbage. The amount of the damn Tiger! Tiger! mini game the game wants you to play to satisfactorily upgrade Poppi is absolutely disgusting (and that's WITH the season pass that cuts that SIGNIFICANTLY. While it wasn't a significant problem for my personally, the fact that the game doesn't let you reread text tutorials is dumb for a game this complicated and dense. All of this in mind, Xenoblade 2 is still one of my favorite games of all time, my GOTY for 2017. I love the combat, story, world, and characters that much.

Other than the bolded I completely agree (though to be fair i'm only 35 hours in and am not really close to seeing the whole world). i still love the game and find it pretty addicting but they're quite a few things that I think were just bad. I especially don't like all the tutorial stuff. I thought Zelda before Breath of the Wild was bad but XC2 is on  whole new level. I'm still getting tutorial bits 30 hours in and I don't feel like reading it, so I end up skipping some of it and try to figure it out on my own or forget about it. The tutorial should've been cut down and more optional imo.

The amount of the damn Tiger! Tiger! mini game the game wants you to play to satisfactorily upgrade Poppi is absolutely disgusting (and that's WITH the season pass that cuts that SIGNIFICANTLY.

Oh damn. Can you give me a rough guess as to how much I would have to play without the DLC and how much I would have to play in order to make Poppi broken? I was thinking of Grinding a bit on Tiger! Tiger! to help make Poppi really good but if its too much I won't bother.

You'll still be getting tutorials for a while, but they do lessen significantly the further you get. As for the Poppi question, I wish I could help I really do, but I have the season pass which has so far granted 60,000 ether crystals. A normal perfect run of a level usually gives around 1000-2000. As you can tell, it'd be hard for me to give a good estimate for you.
