Xenoblade Chronicles X is a Disappointment

Xenoblade X is not for everyone. While some may love it, the game has its share of problems.

KaladinStormblessed3373d ago

Who actually bought Xenoblade X for the story? The main focus of the game is being able to explore the whole world and find its secrets, not to mention fighting an extremely cool and large variety of creatures in a very well developed battle system. Music isn't the greatest, I agree with that, but the story is alright. When did video games ever have a non-cliche storyline? Very few at all have a good story. By video game standards the storyline is actually good.

The story isn't that bad as everyone tells it is!

No, it's terrible, deal with it.

contradictory3373d ago

i did.

't was a bad decision on my part.
should'ave made some research before i bought it since this is more of an MMO than a sequel to the
Xenoblade Chronicles i remember..

Mega_Volnutt3373d ago

Yeah, specially MGS5 cheesy soundtrack moments that made me cringe quite a lot, actually more than Xenoblades. It's all about taste, not ones individual opinion.

JevonDee3372d ago (Edited 3372d ago )

I guess you didn't grow up in the 80s? I loved hearing most of those songs again. But you're right..to each their own.

The game has a lot going for it and seems to be one of those games that, if you can get into it, you can kind of get lost in it's awesomeness, but it will still have a few things you wish they did better.

It's a solid game, hard to call it a disappointment.

Troll article at its finest. The game has an 84 Meta score and I would give it a 9. The story actually isn't that bad and had some twists in it I didn't expect. Besides you spend FAR more time exploring than listening to story. The game is deep, vast, beautiful, utilizes the game pad well, and has a complex rewarding combat system. If you don't like that might I recommend candy crush?

thepatientgamer3373d ago

User score on Metacritic is 8.8. Even more impressive score given the number of trolls that frequent that site.

I think 8.8 is accurate.

MSBAUSTX3373d ago

Yeah I do too. Especially considering it is released on a console widely viewed negatively by the trollers.

Apollosupreme3373d ago (Edited 3373d ago )

It seems like almost every game released nowadays is a disappointment. Not in my opinion but in the realm of bloggers.

asadachi3373d ago

I think it's all just clickbait these days; it doesn't really matter what they write as long as someone goes to their site. Negativity and blanket statements seem to get the clicks they're hoping for.

"Xenoblade X is not for everyone."

The ill-fated Wii U sold very few units, so it is understandable if you missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles X, here are 9 reasons why you should play the Definitive Edition.

Reason number 1 why I haven’t played yet:
Cannot commit the time. :/

GotGame81810d ago

The nice thing about X is you have a Follow Ball. If you haven't played for a few days it will help you jump right back in! Fantastic game! You should at least have 5 initial hours over 2 days or so to invest. I also suggest grinding to at least level 14 before chapter 3.

Zeldafan6410d ago

It's nice that definitive edition makes level grinding easier. Quite a bit quicker than the original release.

PRIMORDUS10d ago

I bought it thinking it was like the trilogy and expansion on Switch. I played it for 15 or so hours and stopped. Couldn't get into it, the gameplay was not like the previous ones, it was not what I expected.😕

Dhika10d ago

I bought it on the Wii U years ago and couldn’t get into it too 🙁

PRIMORDUS10d ago

I feel ya, sucks cause I wanted to like it, I tried.

TFdwnunder10d ago

Greatest RPG ever except end game makes it impossible to complete for anyone who focused on mech battles. Do not focus on mechs or you will be disappointed

1 - 3 are connected. Idk if X is connected since I haven't beaten the epilogue in X yet. X will probably be connected.

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

Zeldafan64682d ago

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

jznrpg682d ago (Edited 682d 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 .

Zeldafan64681d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64682d ago (Edited 682d 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.

luckytrouble682d 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.

chaos999682d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble682d 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.

DefaultComment682d 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.

isarai682d ago (Edited 682d 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!"

FinalFantasyFanatic681d 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.
