There has never been a game more in need of a 'Director's Cut' than Xenoblade Chronicles X. There's a really good game hidden in amongst all the shit there, and a couple of month's worth of polishing and rejigging some things could help find it.
Man, I started that game a few days ago, and...
well, the first hour and a half was bliss. For all the things I didn't like about the game, the promise of that world just drew me in. I even liked the music for what it was. I was ready to overlook that this was a sci-fi game written by men and women whose exposure to sci-fi couldn't
possibly have extended beyond old video games. (for just
two years the ark flew through space. at nowhere near light speed, considering it got ganked, and then successfully crash landed on the nearest planet. which just happened to be fucking habitable. ooooooookay)
And then I got to New Los Angeles
and I heard the music
and I heard all that excellent fuckin' well written dialogue and that expert voice acting
and now I'm not playing Xenoblade Chronicles X anymore
shit, man, even just JP audio would make this game tolerable for me. I'd probably sell my Wii U version and pick up an NX directors cut if it had just that.
