The game I wanted to love above all others is finally in my hands. The initial verdict after a few hours of playing? Well, it's complicated...
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
One of the best JRPGS this gen.
Nothing is complicated when we have a handful of JRPGS this gen.
i have been enjoying this game so far only wish on xb360 or ps3 so it could get the graphic boost it deserves
"All of the hype surrounding Xenoblade suggested an old-school JRPG; a breath of fresh air in a genre that has strayed so far from its roots"
did you play radiant historia? You claim your a crono trigger fan, and if you played this game along with hundreds of others this gen, this quote would still be in your head
your other mistake was quoting that egm review...........
"Xenoblade is most definitely not a return-to-classic-form JRPG. It isn’t what I had hoped it would be."
this is the problem when people dont play games, and research games.........anyone knew it was basically a different kind of final fantasy XII..........
And this isnt a [problem, unlike western rpgs where they are basically all the same gameplay wise....... japanese rpgs are usually all quite different and thats ok......
you want a "classic"( even though this doesnt mean anything) japanese rpg?
like I said did you play trails in the sky? radiant historia? golden sun 3? anything?
@CarlitoBrigante
"handful of JRPGS this gen." if by handful, if you mean hundreds, I agree with you, because in terms of pure quantity, thats how many there were this gen
judging an epic game of biblical proportions like xenoblade after a few hours play?
You've got to be kidding right? You need to devote around 50plus hours and you'l be around halfway through the game. By THAT time, you will be in a position to judge the game, you will completely hooked and know xenoblade is classic..
I must admit at first i was underwhelmed, but give it time.
