[WII U] Xenoblade Chronicles X

[com_gwp]

I'm seeing those damn blue orbs (now crystals) again. Not a good sign.

Good god, the massive scale is ridiculous! It even makes the giant robot look small!

We meet again, Collectepedia!

This would be a day one buy for me if I had a Wii U, but I can't justify getting a whole console for just one game. I'd love to fight some of those monsters, though.
Also is it just me or do the colors look a bit washed out? Like the sun on Mira is super-harsh. I wish the game looked a little more vibrant.

The website also updated on the characters, story, and other stuff! Can anyone determine who's voices who?

For some reason for me, it seemed more vibrant when I watched it on the e-shop.

Xenoblade, Bayonetta and Wonderful101. That makes 3 games for me.

But my problem is I'm not confident that there will be more of these games that I like that would come out on Wii U to justify it.

Maybe in a couple more years assuming I'm still interested and the prices are rock bottom... Or second hand.

[serenade_beta]

I'll also advertise Mario Kart 8.

I didn't grow up with either of those franchises So they do nothing for me.

[GDB]

Well you clearly didn't grow up with Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, or Xenoblade either (unless you count anything in the Xenosaga, despite being completely different games overall) since they're new franchises. No reason you can't get into something in later iterations. Not like there's lore you'd need to catch up on.

[serenade_beta]

I never really did Mario Kart either, but I bought 7 and because each round is quick and the luck factors gives everyone a chance, every time I decided to play, I ended up playing for quite a while. Liked it quite a lot.

Smash is well... Smash. In a good way, of course.

[Chaos2Frozen]

No, but I do like Platinum action games, and I love mecha JRPGs so those games have that going for them.

(Actually I didn't play the first Bayo)

Neither smash nor mario cart have anything going for me- not the characters or the genre, I don't do couch brawlers (Is that what it's called?) or racing games... The only interest I have in them is watching the Super Best Friends Brawl videos on them

You are in luck since Bayo 2 for the Wii U INCLUDES the first game so you can jump right in.

So that's who's doing Tatsu? Oh wow!

I might need to hear more of Lynlee though.

The Wii U is very comparable to a slightly beefed up XBox 360 and you can already see some of the shortcuts taken to get it to render on that level (the hard edges on the water hitting the shore, the way the wheels are touching the ground slightly awkwardly, etc). It's still pretty impressive, though, how far people have taken this generation of consoles. I don't think I've seen this level of pushing to the limit since the Genesis/SNES days.

How did you get the music, tried with internet download manager, didn't grab it...

If you use firefox you can just right click the page -> view page info -> media tab. Every image, video or audio file on the page will show up there.

[darkchibi07]

Hmmm, is it going to be weekly we're going to get character additions?

Anywho, we got new ones for the old dude named Van Damme (already badass ) and another tough gun-wielding female named Irina.

[AnimeFangirl]

The characters don't matter. Combat! Combat! More combat!

[darkchibi07]

Oy, there's a ton of new info released from the Famitsu magazine:

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/28...es-exploration

And here's more info on something called "Unions", and the ridiculous size this game will have!

http://gematsu.com/2015/01/xenoblade...ap-size-unions

Man, I hope the game's story is good with all this "open-world" stuff.

[AnimeFangirl]

Finished reading all that. Looking good! I hope the sleeping humans you rescue affect the story in someway and it's not just a 'Collect them all' kind of gimmick. The factions sound interesting too (I predict 90% of players will join Avalanche). Anyway the story doesn't matter too much, as long as the game is fun to play and the story isn't too terrible.

[darkchibi07]

So much wealth of information about exploration and locales and Lynlee is LOVE!

Now we wait someone do a decent sub or GameXplain go all analytical on this!
