What are these? Entirely new party characters?

DLC characters that have their own unique arts, skells and weapons that you can get by completing their quest lines.

Makes more sense to get this game digitally with all the packs required.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Any comparisons between the disc-based version with all data packs installed, and the digital version?

 

[Tertullian]

So Wii U owners will have at least one big open-world game to soothe their aching hearts when Nintendo finally cancels the Wii U version of The Legend of Zelda NX!

He does mention that you can customize it, but he found it hard to find the right balance with enough information but not too much room taking.

Well for the battles the field of view is deliberately smaller so that you focus on the battle not the environment. And looking at the pictures he had he could have at least zoomed out a bit more.

Listen guys,
The reason XBCX story is not as good as XBC is because:

(Not spoilers, but if you don't wanna know anything, don't lick)

Spoiler

XBC was based on a friendship, it was a lot more emotional and more "i can related to shulk" than anything else.

XBCX is based more on survival of the human, etc. While it has its twits, is less emotional.

That's it. It's not "worse".

Don't use an ssd on a USB port
total waste of money

I promissed myself that I'd never post in another XBX thread after my utterly ridiculous ban, but fuck it the hype is getting to me.


North America doesn't get the snazzy black box does it.

[LegendofLex]

Glad to see it's getting such glowing praise. Really surprised by Game Informer's 7.0 after reviewing Xenoblade at 9.5 and Xenoblade 3D at 9.0

If you didn't like the quest structure of the original Xenoblade, it's really not surprising that it being a much more directly integrated part of main game progress would result in a lower score.

None, considering the slow speed of the Wii Us USB 2.0 ports. And since the ports are notoriously poor at delivering power, you may still need a Y-cable.

Get a 2,5 inch HDD with more capacity and a Y-cable.

Can't believe we are only 5 days away from playing this. Seems so long ago when this was announced. Thankfully, I've tried not to watch much media for this game. I only know the first zone quite a bit, but the others not so much. I do know their names though.

This game is going to murder free time. And will be the first game that will keep my Wii U on for hours at a time.

Where are you getting this?

 

[casiopao]

LOL you have to compromise somewhere

I'll take this with no loading times, over better looking games with so many problems

Those games would not look like they do if they were this big

I anything, I've also heard things about fallout 4 not looking too hot, I have not played it yet tho. I hold off on it to play xeno

This game for its scale and size is super impressive, specially on a less powerful hardware

This. I agree that probably except for size, verticality and gigantic monster and how they live in the world, Xeno X is not going to be as complex as maybe Witcher or Fallout but, what they don't do give us no loading times, almost zero bug experience and tons of online features.

This is also all done on weaker console like Wii U while the others are given the advantage to utilize all that sweet extra power PS4, X-1 had. So, i feel X should be given praise on where it done really well.

 

[vilmer_]

at least try download the basic ones, they're essential

I'm pretty sure the o/s is a good 4gb alone and it appears that I need another 4.5 for the basic pack. SOL it seems.

They wanna save that 10/10 for when metacritic has settled so they can push it into the high 80s.

I'm at work so all these reviews are blocked, but can anyone tell me if anything has been said about off-TV play with this game? My current situation would require me to play this with the gamepad off-TV almost exclusively.

 

[ika]

I'm seeing reviewers largely trashing the story. That's to be expected but also disappointing.

I'm reading some of the reviews and most of them are saying they didn't even finish the game (central plot) in time for the review, and many said they spent more than 80 hours with the game, so I'm not trusting their opinions on the story. I'll wait to experience it myself, and not counting only Story Missions, but also Kizuna and Normal ones...

The game has off tv play

 

[thekiddfran]

The Gamespot video review made it seem like a 6.

I will pass on this. The fact there is no tutorial and the story is shit really sucks.

 

[Z3M0G]

Gonna take a shot at finding the Smash/Splat bundle today with the $50 off... for this game.

 

[JeTmAn81]

The game has off tv play

Isn't that true of every WiiU game? I thought it was a requirement for being on the system.

 

[mStudios]

I played the game (but haven't finished yet).
A friends do own the game, tho. And those were his exact words.

There're tutorials not in depth like in FF13, that will hold your hand for 10+ hours.
To compensate that, you will have a digital manual that will help you for moments when you feel lost.

If the reviewer didn't tried to check it...

It has off-tv play but some of the text is so small that it's not ideal.

iinm NA is English only, EU is multi-5... but if you're asking whether there's Japanese voice.... nope

I looked into this... it seems Splatoon doesn't? Which would make sense though... due to gyro aiming.

No. Games like ZombiU and Splatoon don't have it.

How do you access the DLC characters though? Do they show up as a quest in a certain chapter or what?

The EU version isn't. Guessing the same goes for US.

Would this one work for Wii U? Figured I'd ask before I bought it.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

iinm NA is English only, EU is multi-5... but if you're asking whether there's Japanese voice.... nope

The NA version still has French/Spanish/Portuguese text at least though, right? Most Nintendo games do.

Disappointing that there's no JP voice but totally understandable.

Only a few more days until I can inject this into my bloodstream.
