Well at least they didn't rush the review for release. They gave the game a chance. I do wonder if playing the game now, after years of some very vocal people heaping praise on the game and the big drama with the Project Rainfall and everything, might have made them a bit more critical towards the game. In 2015, Xenoblade is a critical darling and no overlooked gem.
That or people like different things I guess.
I was going to say that. The games been hyped to hell and back. There's no way every person that gets this will like it. Especially with how mediocre the visuals are. Visuals aren't everything, but when there's such a disparity from the wii version and this one, I can understand.
