Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles X - OT

You might be right but I have trouble believing the game will release that far after it's own dedicated direct. I'm betting on June or July.

How many months do you estimate it will take? Localization was making great progress back in January.

I'm saying Aug, localization started last year and Japan had a 3ish month between release date announcement during a direct and release day.

Indeed, it wouldn't make sense to have a direct now and release the game late in the year. Or maybe this game will have multiple directs just like Japan did? Anyway, it would be great to have this game so soon over here because I'm really not feeling it.

i'll say maybe June to August, if not earliest to September, which is great because that will give me time pre-order in may for splatoon, and when ever xenoblade x gets a release date i'll plan get that pre-order a month later,

For my November prediction, I am guessing they are going to have another direct for this. Right now they are just announcing things that they want us to think about before E3

I would also be very happy to be wrong lol

...Maybe I'm just far enough in the first game, but the monsters here make the ones in the first game look pathetic just because of their size. o.o lol
EDIT: Also, this game has camouflaged monsters now, that's awesome. (I love those kinds of monsters. xD)

Still in Japanse, definitely a September at the absolute earliest release

Well, they've decided 'doll' translates to 'skell' so we have yet another random mech name. See also, LFO, EVA, nightmare, gundam, etc.

It should also be noted that the mechs look to move exactly like flying mounts in World of Warcraft, so, expect that.

Nightmare?

M8... https://www.google.com/search?q=code+geass+nightmare&espv...

Oh, never watched that anime...I was thinking of Metroid's Nightmare for some reason. xD

Wait, so you create your own character in this game? o.o

Xenoblade is everything what Mass Effect should be in terms of gameplay

exploring huge worlds and not stupid corridors

Don't go there, man. Xenoblade has none of the best gameplay from Mass Effect; the dialogue trees. Don't compare apples to oranges.

I kinda agree

but i dont because as much freedom of choice Mass Effect gives you, i still think its all smokes and mirrors at the end (at least when the decisions started to matter, everything ends up being a slight variation)... all ends up being an illusion

Guess I kinda see a bit of Mass Effect in this, also see a little of Monster Hunter as well. xD

I like linear games, but choice-driven narratives can also be great. Telltale games are the only ones that really bug me by throwing it back in your face that none of the choices the game asked you to make matter. In any case OT...

Gundam :''')

OK, OK I GET IT NOW. We're just throwing names around with no regard for whether it's a squad-based third person shooter, party-based real time SRPG, or a gameplay-focused pure ARPG. It's in space? MASS EFFECT! Has monsters? IT'S MONSTER HUNTER!

Hey guys, guess what; IT'S HALO NOW!1!11!
