i don't know what your definition of epic is but i'll try to give mine for better understanding. and to make it easy and not too timeconsuming let me state a passage of a xenosaga 3 review that pretty much says what a mean:

"The initial hours of the game, and we definitely mean hours, will strike you down with a barrage of information that you’re hopefully looking forward to. If not, prepare to get blindsided by its sheer volume, and it’s not just Episode III. It’s extenuated by the Database, which helps detail the backstory and the passage of time between the second and third games and just about everything else you could ever want to know within the Xenosaga world. It’s also been upgraded to allow for more accessibility and comprehension with the inclusion of illustrations. The downside to this is if you aren’t willing to be fully immersed in this tome of reference then you’ll miss out on the plot’s finer details. And even if you are, the constant need to check this reference detracts from the scope of the story. With that out of the way, the story has over eight hours of voice-acted cutscenes. To say the game is story heavy is an overwhelming understatement, but it by no means has a negative impact on the game, and is what we’ve come to expect from the series."

now compared to that xenoblade certainly is a downgrade in complexity and depth. and from what i've seen from the x trailers so far, i fear that this game will be another downgrade compared to xenoblade.

Infamous SS is 1080p Infamous 2 with Neon

see how easy it is? ^^

I will never understand people who over hype something in which we have seen a total of 10 minutes of gameplay. I understand those who say it is bad even less.

I mean I have been thus far, greatly unimpressed with any of the footage of games I've seen on next gen, but that doesn't mean I am going to pigeon hole them as something.

Relax. Crabs in a barrel mentality. 

Is this sarcasm?
