MY GOD, Those character models look so damn ugly it's infuriating.

Abriael3322d ago

I'm not infuriated. The game looks amazing overall.

MrSwankSinatra3322d ago

Well that's you...

I'm not even a huge advocate for superb graphics, but man I hate those character models so much.

BiggerBoss3322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

The models sure dont "infuriate" me, but seeing as the rest of the game is so beautiful, I dont see why the character models are so ugly

vishmarx3322d ago

what saddens me is the soundtrack, i just heard all the samples and disc 1 is amazing and rest of it is dogs***.
half of it is garbage engrish rap/vocals and the remaining is attack on titan.
game looks amazing though.
too bad with the delay of zelda im not gonna be buying a wii u anytime soon

themonado3322d ago

@biggerboss It's probably because they put a ton of resources in making the environments and enemies look good

never4get3322d ago

Massive Multiplayer Online Co-Op, that would be Amazing.

I dunno, maybe their eyes are a little too big, but they don't really bother me that much.

I can live with some less than perfect character models if they are giving me online co-op, countless hours of gameplay (if the Wii version was anything to go by), great story, and overall great gameplay.

Sometimes one can be too picky. The Order had great visuals, but the game was sort of lacking in other areas.

So wouldn't you rather have a better game than better graphics?

MrSwankSinatra3322d ago

It's not a matter of it being a better game or having better graphics, they just needed a better artist.

Lol, I could go play white knight chronicles or an old SNES RPG and be immersed by it.... this game isn't ffxv visually, but I know it will be awesome and immersive!

Madock3322d ago

U KNOW THEY R TOTALLY CUSTOMIZABLE RITE?

MrSwankSinatra3322d ago

U DO KNOW ONLY THE PLAYABLE CHARACTER RITE???

Segata3322d ago

Says the guy with FFXV Gay jpop noctis avatar and his bum buddies. Nomura is seriously the worst. Surprised we don't see 1300 belts and Zippers.

kingdomtriggers3322d ago

I'm going to play the shit out of both FFXV And xenoblade chronicles x and love them both because I'm not a fanboy. But its funny to call out FFXV character designs (which are pretty modest for Square Enix) when you just watched a video with the main character wearing super skin tight pants that exposed his ass. Lol we all know that solid snake is the only guy character who can pull that off.

Segata3322d ago

@Kingdomtriggers XCX are fully custom so is the armor. FFXV so far showing you are stuck looking like a jpop band

wonderfulmonkeyman3322d ago

They just confirmed that online co-op is a thing, AND ALL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON IS THE DAMNED CHARACTER MODELS?
Dude, just stop.

WPX3322d ago

Of course, they need to focus on the bad things.
It's "the (hater's) norm" on every Nintendo article.

DeusEx-Machina3322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

Putting it in relation reveals how petty and immature these complaints are.

I get why people are not 100% behind the art-syle of the character faces, but they are definitely not THAT bad.

Seriously, seeing how people manage to be blind towards anything else a game has to offer, but pick the utmost trivial thing just to make a big fuss about, just shows the state the modern gaming community really is in.

Frankly, I couldn't be more disgusted right now.

darkstar183322d ago

You do know you can customise each chracter in a party right? put a helmet on them and stop complaining lol problem solved.

jholden32493322d ago

Probably cause you're a westernized pop gamer that is expecting realism and not Japanese-focused character artstyles

This is a JRPG, with Japanese style character models. I think they look fantastic. Features are intentionally exaggerated like the eyes and jawbone lines. That's just how the Japanese draw characters. These look WAY better than most Japanese games.

MNGamer-N3322d ago

I actually prefer the Japanese artstyle. And whomever I decide to marry in X, is going to be a hot b*tch

3-4-53322d ago

* Dude it's obvious your just hating because it "competes" in the same category as FF15.

It's like a pre-defense...defense...

We see through you. Like a glass onion.

It's ok for there to be games on other systems that are good.

Your PS4 will be ok.

mshope103322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

It wouldn't be a great wiiu exclusive without somebody crying about something.

mshope103322d ago

I'm sorry if you watched this whole video and thought man I'm not into this game because of the character model art I might start thinking about a new hobby

If I'm been an a-hole I for real I'm very sorry but I just can't help but feel it this was on Xbox and playstation exactly that way it is now people would be going nuts for it.

If I'm wrong I'm sorry.

BiggerBoss3322d ago (Edited 3322d ago )

If the game was on X1 or Ps4, the character models would still be ugly. People arent complaining about them just because the games a Nintendo exclusive, theyre just ugly. Its not a big issue, but it does detract from an otherwise gorgeous game

MeteorPanda3322d ago

dude wtf...no one is saying anything about the console...the characters faces look like dogsh!t, it's not a graphics thing, it's a modeling and artstyle thing. Look at the big dude explaining...he looks like they tried to make mass effects Shepard..

And why are you sorry?? Is it your game? Holy hell.

With Chronicles Done, It's Time to Make Xenoblade X: Definitive Edition

With Chronicles finished, it's time to return to the mechs and mysteries of Mira

jznrpg331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64331d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64330d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble330d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999331d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble330d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment331d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic330d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Operation Rainfall: 10 Years On

It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212768d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop769d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212768d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07810d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad810d ago (Edited 810d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07810d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad809d ago (Edited 809d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212810d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX809d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX809d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
