What review exactl.... Wait a minute are you the guy behind the "Upad" thread? Ok now I see, you seem to share some dna with ninjablade...
have you even played it?
where's 400k from?
Famitsu was around the score of amiibo festival, amazon review was a full 1.5 below xenoblade, and that fan review site gave it a straight up D ranking. Dengeki review was pretty good though that's true.
We will probably never know but I believe it was a full on title that got scrapped after their titles continued to sell less than spectacular given how much time they took to make.

Exactly, TI82 is just making stuff up. There is no canceled 3DS game. Just that recruitment ad.
Stop presenting your wild imaginations based on nothing as facts then, please.

No only special missions

Around amiibo festival? Who cares. That just means they liked amiibo festival, not that this game is bad/mediocre. 8's and 9's are good.
Umm. Where does this 400k come from? Ur dream????
Wait. 400k? Where'd you get that number?

No just online Missions, like in Ninja gaiden 3 razor's edge.
Ok, I am hyped.
Thanks. Reviews these days are really worthless, cant even provide basic information.

That poster was for Monolith Soft's Kyoto studio which was specifically created as a support studio to assist in other Nintendo projects.

No, there are dedicated co-op quest monsters you can fight together. That is all, there is no free-roam multiplayer. You can do passive online stuff and post messages while doing your solo stuff, though.
His butt.

I don't think servers were up for the coop
I think its more to do with the MP aspect being so weird and almost convoluted, that trying to succinctly explain it in a review is going to be really hard.

That recruitment ad was mediocre though.
You keep coming with this garbage lie even though you have already been exposed many times. You really need to drop the dumbass mentality of "well it got a similar score to this crappy game" because is, well, stupid. I already showed it to you once.

Hole. His butthole. His cheeks wanted nothing to do with this bullshit number.
Remembered the number wrong, 70% of its shipmemt sold in the first week but it didn't sell the rest in the following 7 weeks.

I made a post outlining it a while back I can dig it up after eating breakfast or someone else can that likes to dig through my old posts.
Jim did talked a bit about multi-player in his review but it seems the server wasn't up to have online co-op (based from another reviwer tweet)
Full infos about multi here : https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_...z/xenoblade_x_multiplayer_information_thread/

It didn't ship 400k. You are just pulling bull shit out of your ass now. It did about what it was supposed to do and had fairly high digital sales to compliment it, not bad for the Wii U.

TI82 gets backed into a corner, uses shit toss, not effective does not stick to wall.
To keep with the spirit of this thread, his asscave.

Just want to point out Xenoblade 3D was an 86, and it was pretty much an exact port of the original

Review scores have also become much lower this gen than previous gens. Also, this game relies more on its sidequests than the previous one, which many reviewers might not have played (especially those ones complaining about shallow characters).

What's all this?!
I expected 11/10s for the game, but after looking at both Game Informer and Polygon scores (SEVENS!), I feel like my whole life has been a lie.
As I write this I'm - with so much sadness - cancelling my Xenoblade Chronicles X Limited Edition preorder. I cannot just go and play this game, like if this was The Witchers or Fall Out, this was supposed to be my GOTY, goddammit.. It was going to be my GOTY.
If I enjoyed this game, enjoyed the skels, the vistas, the scope, and took as my GOTY, with these scores, I'd just be big fat hypocrites. I'm not that kind of person, I don't wanna be.
I have to admit I fell to the GAF hype, but that's my fault, as I knew that I shouldn't have trusted Monolith after being bit by The Matrix Online, back in the day.
I need to stop being this naive. Ow, Xenoblade why.

There's been a general trend toward lower review scores over the last few years, as has been mentioned. The drop is a bit larger than the general trend, but it's interesting.
You're like ninjablade but sales wise:you don't know what you're talking about (or don't give a shit because you're a warrior)
I wouldn't call that well more like ok considering the scale and budget.

So, how quick do you think Nintendo'll be in putting together a reviewer score ad then, with this going for them?

Initial shipment of 400k.... canceled 3DS game.
If everything else fails, just make some shit up, eh ?
I will never get this out of my head, I always wondered where this expression came from until I watched an GameExplain video, lol
