Man, this week is going to go by so sloooow. Trying not to watch anymore videos on X but reviews should be OK right? RIGHT?!

 

[HeySeuss]

Isn't this already out in Japan? Did they not review it or something? What am I missing here?

 

[oti]

This game sounds like #wörk

 

[ajim]

Shmick scores!

Exciting shit!!

Go monolith!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yep, I was right on the 8's and 9's.

 

[-Horizon-]

Pretty good so far.

 

[LordOcidax]

Great reviews... UUFF

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I took four days worth of personal time, starting on the 8th. I couldn't be more ready.

 

[Htown]

People generally review games when they come out in their region and they can actually understand what's going on?

 

[Sölf]

Yes. Give it to me.

 

[footfunghi]

oh god i havent even finished fallout 4 yet but bring it on!

 

[Palculator]

Pretty good so far.

Kudos on keeping the gif promise, lol.

 

[Diprosalic]

expected way less than what we got so far.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

This game sounds like #wörk

So is Monster Hunter and that's why it's so satisfying.

 

[Exile20]

Reviews seem to be good so far.

Now who will stand apart and put a 6?

Polygon's 7/10 is the closest.

 

[chadboban]

Rainbowgun watchadoin? Update that OP lol

 

[Tambini]

Nice

 

[TI82]

Pretty good so far.

Omg, posting that korean porn gif

Few reviews already in: http://opencritic.com/#!game/1565/xenoblade-chronicles-x

Several early reviews 90+. Eurogamer is "Essential"

It's Monolith Soft, not Monolith Productions. That's a different studio. *nitpicking*

why would they review that version? they waited for the localized one.

 

[wiibomb]

those are... pretty solid reviews, right?

the only lower seems to be polygon with a 7

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I wonder if it'll get a slight discount for Christmas sales? I'd buy it alongside a Wii U.

 

[Riki]

All these high scores! I don't think I can handle this for 4 days!!!

 

[Zemm]

Looks like I'll be picking this up then, just not yet.

Still halfway through Fallout, I'm currently replaying Witcher 3 and the expansion as well as Bloodborne, need to finish of Tales from the Borderlands, all whilst playing a bit of Fifa :'(

 

[styl3s]

Reviewed about as well as i thought it would 8s and 9's and that's fucking great. I hope, hope, hope it sells well here.

Although i never got into Xeno on Wii i was completely sold on this game when i played a bunch last week i can see myself putting 150 hours into this game EASILY.

 

[KingSnake]

Haha, another great quote from Jim:

One thing the story does well is build a coherent universe full of unique alien races, to the point where I’d be tempted to say something trite along the lines of, “this is Japan’s answer to Mass Effect.” I won’t say that, though. Nobody can prove I said it… even if it is kind of true.

 

[Sadist]

Eurogamer review sounds like hype. Just 3 more days...

 

[The Elite]

These reviews. That digital copy is sitting on my hard drive. Can't wait.

I'm really feeling it.

 

[TheOohChild]

Not cancelling my preorder regardless of the scores. My heart is set on getting that pizza coupon.

 

[djplaeskool]

Ew.
I agree with a Polygon review.
I need to go shower...

 

[tbd]

Hope you guys don't give a damn.

 

[doop_]

Huh, knew it would get good scores but I expected and still expect some negative ones,hope not though.

 

[jlscool]

Wow, GameXplain review is almost 30 minutes.

 

[PillarEN]

What's up with the first two posts? Did OP botch their first attempt?

Looking forward to this. I'm undecided but like the premise so I want to learn more about what works and doesn't as small nagging things in RPGs are much worse than in other shorter games.

 

[Palculator]

those are... pretty solid reviews, right?

the only lower seems to be polygon with a 7

Bayonetta 2 flashbacks.

 

[The Boat]

My review is going to take a while, the game is really fuckin huge and we got it "late" in Portugal. I'm 60 or 70 hours in and I can't put it down, it's absolutely incredible. This is how you design an open world in an RPG.

 

[higgsboson1997]

WeGotThisCovered - 7/10
iDigitalTimes - 4/5 ("Best Wii U game of 2015")
Stuff - 4/5
NintendoAlways - 9.5/10

 

[Leiru]

I expected much higher scores.

I expected nothing else from polygon

 

[Shawn6661]

Jeuxvideo : 19/20

 

[braves01]

Better than expected so far. I was anticipating mostly 6 and 7s

 

[chadboban]

God is a geek 9/10
http://www.godisageek.com/reviews/xenoblade-chronicles-x-review/

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Higher than expected considering the import hype wasn't huge IIRC

 

[Herb Alpert]

Polygon's 7/10 is the closest.

black sheep isn't that black this time.

 

[donkey show]

Jim is really feeling it:

Spoiler

9/10

As a critic who often overlooks the soundtrack of any given release, I feel it’s my duty to get this important bit of information out of the way early – Xenoblade Chronicles X has possibly the best soundtrack a videogame’s hosted in years, and I do not say that lightly. Hiroyuki Sawano brings an unforgettable mix of inspiring tunes and deliciously cheesy numbers to create something that will bury its way into the audience’s ears.

Paging duckroll

Seriously can't wait though! Goodbye free time!

 

[Daknight]

Man, the wait is going to be painful! I am glad is getting review so well Thankfully my wife gave me some early game presents to keep me busy till then! So need to download the packages when I get home today!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Stuff - 4/5

Pack it up, only relevant one.

Made the thread a bit early and it got zerg rushed with a bunch of baseless predictions (and a .gif I posted >_>) all of which were deleted.

 

[Red Hood]

The first one is 50% off today only on the eshop so if you plan to play that one (which you should), you should get it today.

Oh man 50% off is always nice, I guess I'm very likely buying this now. How is the performance on the Wii U? I assume it's the same as the Wii version, which brings me to the next question, how was Xenoblade on Wii?
