| Megaoverlord12 said: 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. |
^this. Plus, once again monolith soft went with quantity over quality (lots of blades, lots of subquests, lots of equip and at the end of the day only 5% of it is useful/meaningful). I wouldn't call it one of my favorite games of all time, but still I really enjoyed playing it.
Also Primal on PS2. I really loved that game, at the time I didn't know about metacritic and was shocked to find out that it did poorly several years later. But then, thinking about it, any part of that game was clunky and unpolished.
