The review from ign up yet?
by tomorrow Jose probably meant "when we on the Westcoast are actually awake and at work" ...which means, in a few hours.
The review from ign up yet?
Jose Otero said:.@IGNs Xenoblade review just got pushed to Monday. Our editorial review standards demand we finish each game we review. Sincere apologies.
Shit, Giantbomb might even have their review before this one.
I understand where they're coming from. But I wonder how that will impact the review if the reviewer was "rushing" to finish it.

That is, if those guys from the cast of Cheers even choose to review it at all.
Any good in depth video review for this ?
Did all the other reviewers finish the game or what?

AV Club with one of the more negative reviews (no score):

He doesn't like the quests, the writing, or that the game waits so long to give you a skell.
It's not here; I blame you.The earliest i've had something ship is about 6:30PM the day before. And I usually always get my stuff on release day. You just gotta believe!
Just one of many examples, my Pip-Boy FO4 copy:

It's good to see that Xenoblade X is getting pleasantly good reviews for the most part. It's hard for me to resist not getting a Nintendo console this generation, and Xenoblade X just reminds me of how fun a lot of Nintendo's exclusives look, but I feel like I should just wait at least until E3 2016 so Nintendo sheds more details on what NX is. Hopefully, it supports BC.
Nah, BB, still infuriating that it still says On-Time and arrival by today, end of day and has not updated since shipping day. :/Is yours through Amazon? Mine didn't make their 8 PM deadline. Judging by the tracking history, it's not going to arrive later tonight either, since it just arrived at a center about 30 minutes from me and not my local branch. I'm thinking it will arrive tomorrow afternoon.

I'm surprised these reviews I've read didn't mention the game doesn't support 5.1. Sound is like 1/3rd of the experience. Especially if they are trying to immerse you into this world it's as important as good graphics. Like I didn't even know that was possible to not do in 2015 for a AAA game.
I just did the same. Amazon UK did tell they normally only offer these if you pay for delivery though.I got a £5 voucher earlier this year for another pre-order that was delivered after release day, can't remember which one now though.
As a PC gamer I am very hard to impress visually. I don't know what kind of wizardry the devs managed to pull out of the Wii U but this game is fucking unbelievable. Proof that you don't have to hit all the technical check points to make a beautiful piece of art.
The Wii U has an acomplished library already and in the past black friday had an offer of the system with 2 of it's biggest games included for a discounted price. There are enough games to keep him busy until 2016 where the first piece of the NX puzzle might be released (probably the portable version of the NX platform).I think you have a good plan. Also, I think it's reasonable to expect a price drop to hit Wii U after NX gets attention because sales would probably slow dramatically. So, at the very least, if the new system ends up not being Wii U backwards compatible and you still want to play XCX, perhaps wait for some Black Friday deals and you'll probably be able to snag it for pretty cheap. Also, since so many people speculate that NX will get Wii U ports if it's not backwards compatible, perhaps wait and see to see if that seems to be an initiative Nintendo is pursuing.
It's was kind of cute in the IGN Plays lives update they did when he said that the Skells vehicles forms were fast but kind of slippery and way later in the video he tried an Inferno model for the first time and noticed that not only the vehicle form was different but also controlled different.I understand where they're coming from. But I wonder how that will impact the review if the reviewer was "rushing" to finish it.

Really, I would hate to be him trying to rush this game =/

Jose's review was pretty fair, save for the music critique. The song in his video review isn't really representative of the soundtrack as a whole. It's very hit/miss overall. Some people just aren't used to lyrics in their video game music.
my main issue is mainly that the lyrics overpower the dialog
overall the soundtrack fits the setting, but it's not really that great
Xenoblade had an amazing soundtrack so that can be hard to follow

Haven't played any game for months and been struggling to get into any game lately. This game is pulling me like nothing and I can't seem to have enough of it.
I don't care what comes next in the game. It already gave me more than $60 worth
So now IGN review is up.
Any word on Gametrailers review???
Even though i got the game day one,i want to see the Gametrailers review,
and it's taking them a long time!
