Since when is it an insult to ask someone if they are serious?

Whatever, it offends me more when people use opinions to misinform than whatever name I could be called. The internet is meant to share information, not political correctness.

...since always. Especially the way you worded it. You're heavily implying that what they said is so rediculous, and in fact, they frequently are so rediculous, that you can't tell whether or not they should ever be taken seriously. It's one of those things phrases like "no offense but..." were pretty much invented for. It could very well be an innocent question, but you need to soften the blow and let people know beforehand that you don't mean to insult them, especially on the internet where tone can't be easily determined. ("Are you serious?" is more often than not used either as an insult, or to set up one, but it usually requires tone to figure out)

You guys are arguing like the games are out already. We barely know the story of both games and to be honest the size doesn't matter if the world is mostly empty so lets wait for the games to come out before we have weak arguments based on speculation.

I don't see the significant difference tbh. I mean, maybe it sticks out more in an HD game, I dunno.

The characters in Xenoblade Chronicles match the art style of the world. In X, they don't. The world is quite realistically textured. Actual realistic humans would be better suited.

The art style of the two games is the same; realism with anime humanoids. Xenoblade Chronicles Wii just has infinitely more jaggies. That's not to say that X's faces don't look infinitely more freakish, I think it's the perfect doll faces thing.

Anyway measuring size is a futile pursuit, quality over quantity, that's why Zelda (which is admittedly not a small game) will be better than both of these games. That's if the Zelda team is at its best, granted but that applies to Monolith and CD Projekt too.

Skyrim's world was loads more fun for me to explore because there were dungeons, hidden passages, and treasure chests everywhere. In contrast Xenoblade's world just felt flat, literally flat in many places. Granted there was tons of elevation, but none of it ever mattered in gameplay, it was just one flat plain layered over anther flat plain over another... etc.

From what I've heard about the Witcher 3 it seems to be similar to Skyrim with regards to dungeons, which is one of the reasons it's my preference.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

Do you actually think that TW3 will be as big as XCX? I really want a big game.

It's way bigger if you read about this game or played the other's in the series.You will know,The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt will be bigger than Xenoblade chronicles X.

Are you supposed to be taken seriously?

Let's use Skyrim as a reference point. According to reports from the developers, XCX's world will be 10x Skyrim's. Accordingly, The Witcher 3 is reportedly 20% (1.2x) bigger than Skyrim. It's not even close and that should be obvious when you consider that in XCX you can fly around in massive mechs that even transform into vehicles to speed around in.

Alright first off get that sass out of my face okay?Cause did you really wrote this?"Are you supposed to be taken seriously?"Am i suppose to take you seriously?Cause as of right now i'm not,we started off on the wrong foot brother.

Grow up or don't spread misinformation/assumptions. Something to be said for accepting when you are wrong. And you weren't even close.

No one asked for you to state your opinion as fact. And what is the point if posting an opinion if you can't deal with some dissent?

Like you said right now it's my opinion,if you don't like it sucks for you,and you ain't gonna change it.But i'm done,never thought this would happen.

Ha! You guys wouldn't last a minute in my neighborhood...

Let me see if I have this straight... Guy says that TW3 will be "way bigger" and that we would "know" this if we paid attention to the Switcher series. I ask if he was trying to be serious because a simple Google search of the current reports completely disputes this knowledge.

Once again, that is insulting... How exactly?

What you are implying, to me, smacks of political correctness and I want no part of it. Misinformation is insulting, no matter how you frame it. It's doubly so when you flail about rather than simply admit you were flat out wrong based upon the available facts.

Also looking at footage of XCX just like XC character movement is very fast compared to games like Witcher 3 and Elder Scrolls (games) which effects how the size of the world feels and density plays a factor too.

Well, for the gameplay at least it's not too much of an extrapolation. AAA studios basically ALWAYS make similar games gameplay-wise, and the MO of both W3 and X up to this point has been 'what we did before, but now open world guys!'. So it's not a stretch to judge them in that respect. Story, though, like in any unreleased game, is still up in the air and will have to be judged post release.

The quality question is one I have no interest in making assumptions about. I'm merely answering the question of which is bigger based upon the reports available at this time.

If you want a strictly "bigger" world, than XCX appears to be your game. Speculating on the relative density or whatever amounts to opinions that fail to inform.

Just to be clear, your animosity towards me stems from... My question about whether you were to be taken seriously when you said we would "know" TW3 will be "way bigger" than XCX if we had been following it?

@ACK - I editted post #40 with info that...proves your entire argument is actually very outdated, and the world of Witcher 3 is indeed much larger than they originally anticipated.

I also editted post #42 explaining why that phrase was insulting. Maybe not hugely so, but it can very easily be taken the wrong way on the internet, where tone is an issue.

Also, "Are you supposed to be taken seriously" is a very odd way of wording it. I can tell you were trying to not make it insulting, but it just came off as weird, since that's...not incorrect English, but still not a normal way of saying it no matter what your intentions are, which probably added to the confusion.

Not true actually when taking account both are basically sequels which take a lot of inspiration from their previous instalments. Looking at footage and the previous games you can make fairly accurate conclusions and help to advise to a point.

Appreciate the insight. I will say that I never personally take "are you serious" as insulting, but I expect dissent and disbelief every time I open my mouth (or tap a keyboard/screen). Point taken though and I'll try to reign myself in a bit. I'll readily admit that internet culture is lost on me.

And that's good to know about TW3, it very well may be bigger in the end, but I feel most comfortable going by what the developers on both ends have reported at this point. Hopefully CDPR clarifies the world size at some point because I will say I'm going to question the scale of TW3 if they expect us to travel all that on horseback...

True, I haven't seen the developers themselves talk about the size since this time last year, and I find it hard to believe the world will be so much bigger in only a year. But weirder things have happened...

To give a vague approximation maybe. But it is still largely speculation. Personally I need to gauge that sort of thing myself to put any value in it anyway. Even greater density isn't always better (for instance, Arkham City was certainly dense, just not in a way I found especially interesting), so for me it comes down to the individual experience, the overall cohesiveness and progression.

Not that we shouldn't try to advise, but it's important to accept when our opinions are seeping into that advice.

I'm much more excited for Xenoblade X, to be honest.

The WItcher 3 looks great, too, and I'll certainly consider getting it for the PS4 or PC (although I'm pretty sure my current PC won't be able to run it). But XCX, that's a day one buy, no questions asked.

I'm excited for both games. I'm playfully poking fun at Witcher 3 because I think one of the big reasons the series is popular is because the gamer can have sex in "interesting" situations. Lol totally goofing off here.

Whatttttt? It's completely and utterly different. Different type of texturing. Hugely different colour palette. Different type of lighting. If you call this realism, I don't think you're understanding the "real" part:
