Why are y'all saying this will come out in 2018 ? Every

Because it's fucking Xenoblade and its massive.

It's inevitable.

>Takahashi will make shitty openworld games for eternity instead of something closer to Saga or Gears

>>378423732

Taking in mind Saga ws a horrid failure two out of three, and Gears was so butchered it barely had any gameplay by the end of the game, whereas Xenoblade was polished and well-enjoyable all around;
I am okay with this.

Giant robots when?
I hope they'll show up gameplay this E3. Please don't fuck it up. X gameplay was bloody great.
>>378423592
Shitposting. X was delayed once, even if you can call that "delaying" cause only initial release date which it was supposedly delayed from was said by Reggie in single interview.
After official date unveil - game released on schedule.
Now localization taking over half of year - THAT can happen easily
we are changing that
>>378423664
shitty argument which has zero value
>>378423732
their open world games are only good ones tho

>>378424906
>Giant robots when?

Never ever. You know why? Because their fanbase has turned to shit. They want a final fantasy clone, not a sci-fi game.

>>378425130
Most nips devs don't care about their fanbase.

>>378425130
>interacting with fanbase
that never really turns out good in any circumstance
also this >>378425182
All they usually do - is polls for characters and such, rest is whatever.

>>378423592
Sure it's cool we're gonna fight all these creatures, but the MMO combat makes me not care too much.

>>378425182
I would believe that if the XC2 trailer didn't look like a carbon copy of XC.

>>378424906
>The game being massive and this will take a long time and this will likely be delayed is a "shitty argument"?

Ok bro.

>>378425391
Only one japanese company can make good action games. I'd rather they not shit themselves by trying to copy them.

>>378425461
You don't really think the game started development this year, do you?

>>378425461
any game period, even puzzle game can get into development hell and take decades to release
any game of any size can proceed smoothly and release as planned.
Everything else is your imagination build on literally zero information.
You don't know stage of project, you don't know when it started development, you don't know the size aside of "massive"
you know shit, but for SOME reason you just KNOW it'll be delayed
Sorry, even old hags with palm reading will call you onto this bullshit

>>378423592
GUYS RDR 2 WILL BE OUT 2017

>>378425595
Even if it didn't games still get delayed. Look at BotW dude.

Also just a nice little reminder that Xenoblade X was fucking delayed too

>>378425712
So because games CAN be delayed, you 100% believe that XC2 WILL be delayed?

>>378425637
When it's shown to be 2018 at E3 how embarrassed will you be?

>>378425712
>Also just a nice little reminder that Xenoblade X was fucking delayed too
>trusting reggie, when info didn't even come from developers themselves
>>378425778
why they would show 2017 released game in 2018?
What is unclear about soft launch of Switch?
You are trying to hard to create artificial GOTCHA moment

>>378425768
Yes. As a large open world rpg game that we have zero knowledge of how long it has been in development for I 100% believe it will not release in the next 7 months.

Especially as I saw a tweet recently showing they hadn't even recorded the music for the game.

>>378425881
>Especially as I saw a tweet recently showing they hadn't even recorded the music for the game.
they actually completed recording recently, that's wide known, and only known, official fact atm

>>378423592
You are gonna have to show that XC2 is a more ambitious project than XCX to get me to buy a switch. If I get even the slightest hint that this is a budget movie, that's $360 + $60 DLC you are not getting from my pocket.

I don't care about the story, because we all know it's gonna be unfinished.

>>378426145
The chances of it being pushed back VASTLY outweigh the chances of it hitting the original release date dude. To think otherwise is simply being delusional.

>>378426256
Chances created on nothing don't have any value.

>>378425391

I liked the combat, but it falls into the JRPG catch 22. If there aren't enough fights with new mechanics that force you to change strategies it becomes tiresome to spam the same skills every fight for hours. Too many tough fights and you kill the flow of the game as you respec and change strats all the time. Xenoblade games get hit worse than this for me because in a traditional turn-based JRPG you can zone out and watch TV while you spam through the grind, but in the Xenoblade games you have to have some focus on the game.

>>378423732
>shitty

>>378425583
There are a few more than just Platinum. Falcom comes to mind, unless you want to sperg out about those being RPGs and not action games.

But even if it were just Platinum, that's better than all 0 Western studios that can make good action games. I reckon Monolith could pull off passable action combat.

>>378426491
>the Xenoblade games you have to have some focus on the game.
>need to focus to grind
>Get AoE super weapon for doll, fly into middle of monsters, activate skill
that wasn't too hard, a bit more attention to parts if you need something really specific, usually enough good sniper rifle like thingy.
in regular Xenoblade a bit more tricky but in not any way "needing concentration", just repeat sequence and that's it
did we played same games?

>>378423592
Well it appears to render at 240p so I'm surprised it's not done already.

>>378426824
>in regular Xenoblade a bit more tricky but in not any way "needing concentration", just repeat sequence and that's it

>>378426317
You have about as valid am argument saying it WILL hit it's intended release date as I do staying it won't, pal.

>OH MAN FUCKING XENOBLADE CHRONICLES IS GONNA BE GOAT GOAT GOAT FUCK FUCK FUCK

>surprise it's fucking trash

>OH MAN NEW XENOBLADE IS GONNA BE SO FUCKING HUGE GOAT GOAT DISREGARD THE LAST GAME

You hype faggots are the worst.

>>378427006
Who said the last two xeno games were trash ?

>>378426931
Nobody's saying that, everybody's just pointing out your idiocy in saying that it 100% will be delayed no matter what anyone says.

>>378426925
Maybe true, I've not fight overly strong monsters there. And it was awhile ago
But we talk about grind, you don't grind those monsters I suppose?
>>378427006
X was great, shut up faggot

Getting SICK of this open world meme.

>>378427029
Reality.

You guys told me Xenoblade X ran perfectly on Cemu but it runs at 20fps, has weird bloom and the soundtrack is fucked. What gives?

Fun thing, if you take statistics into account, actual facts you know. Statistically games are more likely to be released on time instead of being delayed.
So any game has higher chances to be released when it should, simple as that.
It's not a 50% chance, unless your logic is like "I have 50% chance to meet dinosaur on the street today. Either I'll meet it or not"

>>378427124
perfect emulation of Wii U

Playing through Xenoblade Chronicles for the first time. Once I got to the Eryth Sea, the game simply stopped having cutscenes, just talking heads for really important events. What the fuck happened? Does it get better?

>>378427124
X runs pretty badly on cemu rn, I don't know who told you that.

>>378427189
>. Statistically games are more likely to be released on time

lol, pls do show me the numbers anon

>>378427150
I'm way too lazy to remember which items where to trade for Colony 6.
So I usually grind for them

>>378427248
Dunno, anon. Something called common sense?
Last time I checked - delays weren't the norm. Quite the opposite, they stand out more to people because they are not the norm.
>implying I'll go and get whole statistic done outta nowhere just to prove common sense argument.

>>378426824

For reference I grind to roughly the bear minimum to beat JRPGs because I like some kind of challenge. In most JRPGs I can shut my brain off for 90% of the battles during the sloggy bits. In Xenoblade I can almost do that, but I still have to maintain spacing and direction to enemies while looking out for the QTEs. I dunno, that's how I feel about it.

>>378423592
You don't follow this industry closely, do you?
Let me guess, you thought Red Dead was coming out this year too?

>>378427194

Like a lot of JRPGs it's front and backloaded with a lot of cutscenes, but you're closing in on a section where the plot moves forward.

>>378427530
I can see that as being not as smooth of transition.
I still kinda like Xenoblade's battle system. It's kinda thing on it's own, even tho heavily influenced by MMO and such.
but yeah, see your point.
I just hope they won't go complete action combat route, plz no. Anything but that

Shame the combat and story are going to be trash like Xs. Here's hoping the music doesnt suck too.

The aesthetic looka awful so far.

>>378427784
3d games stopped looked badly since ps1/ps2 IF art direction is done right
if art direction is done wrong - no amount of horsepower going to help you.
Also all questions to squaresoft for zero interests in xenogears sequel, so that's why Takahashi went to Namco in the first place
Square doesn't care about their franchises cause they compete with FF

>>378427784
Just like MEA!

>>378428049
square should just die off already

>>378427373
they are the norms in video games industry

especially for games that announced by any of the big three consoles company to pad their launch line up. Not to mention Monolith Soft is shit a deliver games on time


> Zelda

> even the prequel Xenoblade chronicles X was delayed

lol common sense seems to be what newfags like you lack

>>378428231
>muh history

not an aurgument

>>378427665
Is it when I get to Prison Island? I just beat the High Entia Tomb and it's getting kind of boring now. It's a bit disappointing because up to the Frontier Village, the pacing of the game was on point.

>>378423732
>Saga or Gears
Good. These two are mediocre or outrid shit in Xenosaga 2 and Disc 2's cases. Xenoblade games and Baiten Kaitos games are WAY better.

>>378428419
As much as I love xenoblade I must admit that this part was a bit boring, but don't worry it gets better.

>>378427824
Maybe it's how clouds work on this fantasy universe.

that's more likely, but considering soft launch Switch goes - likeness kinda vanishes and it becomes regular chance of unlikely to be delayed
>Zelda
they were not main developer studio, just "helping" studio, whatever that means
>Xenosaga
yes, anon, heavily cut from planned 6 episodes to 3 episodes game is prime example of delaying announced game
>prequel Xenoblade Chronicles X
do you even know what you talk about?

That's Sawano's fault, not emulation.

Man, I want to be excited, but I literally cannot stand the character designs, especially the protag. It looks ripped out of Sword Art Online/Tales of Berseria. It honestly looks like it's going to try and be a waifu simulator. Also it's running on the ugly XCX engine.

2018 is more reasonable.They were just done with xcx mid 2015 right? Maybe late 18, early 19 depending on how fast they are working.

>>378428884
I completely agree with you, that's my only turn off.
And the fact that the game is ugly af

/v/ - the armchair game producers! We'll deduce game's release date on these coffee beans!

>>378428767
>heavily cut from planned 6 episodes to 3 episodes
Ironically, combining episodes 3-6 was the reason Xenosaga Episode 3 had great pacing. The first two games were fucking bloated with nothing going on most of the time.

>>378423592
I'm so glad these games have a costume system. That default outfit is awful.

>>378428640
I'll just trudging on until it does, it's nothing new with Takahashi games :^)

It uses some kind of filter or something that just makes it look really weird to me. Like, there's just too much dark colors in the environment. Xenoblade Chronicles was fucking gorgeous and could have a ton of color at times.

>>378429107
Calm down spergi

>>378429119
maybe, still Xenosaga has nothing to do with delays.
>>378429223
was your TV setup on game mode? I know that sounds dumb, but it really looks great on that.
Looks meh on gamepad for example

>>378428884
Yep. I hate the main character's design. I also noticed there were no other males shown in the trailer. If the story is going to revolve around a little boy and some females, I'm not interested.

>>378429287
fine, you can use Taro Cards too

>>378428884
Every thread, without failure.

Monolith Soft is my only reason to get a nintendo system. I put 350 hours on XCX. Loved the world building but that ending was the biggest blueball I ever had. Hell the whole game was a setup

>>378429515
It's almost like its a consistant problem.

>>378430185
it's nothing near potato levels, so I guess this artstyle was "right" option

I'd definitely consider doing a million fucking retarded fetch quests to unlock skill trees grinding.

>>378430570
that's on you if you left every single sidequest 'til the very end

not to mention you don't need those skill trees at all to beat the game

>>378426117
Live music is composed a long time ahead of actual recording. They've probably made all the songs with soundfonts already, like the trailer theme.
