Here are my early impressions after a couple hours of playing:
Let me start with the bad, because it's bugging me. - Whoever decided the font size in this game should be punched in the face. What the crap? My wife and I literally have to get up from the couch to go read what the different abilities do. Boo to this. - Ten minutes into Xenoblade and I was surrounded by really cool, interesting characters I was already getting invested in. Two hours into Xenoblade and I just finally met two pretty generic ones that I have some slim hope of eventually caring about. - I hate silent heroes. I hate them. I wish there was never another game with a silent hero, and that includes Mario and Zelda games. I hate them hate them hate them. - The game starts in the rain at night, making it look like crap from the first minute. - The controls suck compared to Xenoblade's. My fingers are rarely on the right buttons, unlike with the Remote/Nunchuck setup in the first game. - The camera makes me physically ill as it swoops around like a kid with ADD who is also probably legally blind.
Okay, so how about the good stuff! - Once the rain and darkness goes away, the epic scope of the land is super cool. - The big monsters feel alive and amazing - My main character is a girl with purple hair and blue highlights. - I still really enjoy the core gameplay of the Xenoblade fighting system, even if I can't read the abilities and am constantly pressing the wrong buttons.
I'm very hopeful that as I play, the good list will increase and the bad list will seem less bad, but right now all Xenoblade X is making me do is miss Xenoblade! Guess we'll log some more time tonight and see if things improve after getting the tour of NLA. (One more "bad?" WHY WOULD YOU MODEL A CITY AFTER SUCH A CRAPPY CITY! Sigh... Humans never learn.) |
