While I’m VERY excited for this game, (bought the GBA games with my first summer job), it does look a little under-developed. Graphically it looks a little too shiny, would expect to see some more grit in the visuals. The music and sound effects didn’t really grab me. Gameplay looked fast and fluid though and that’s most important

Seeing how many times Xenoblade has asked me if I would like to try casual mode, I may have something to learn from this article. So far I’ve scoffed at being called a filthy casual by a video game. I’m really feeling the story, but I suck at managing my team.

The combat in Xenoblade is a distraction from the story for me, but in something like Bayonetta I’m waiting for the cutscene to be over so I can start button mashing combos again.

The difficult gameplay in Bayonetta or Mario Maker are what makes the game for me. An easy mode there would feel like “cheating” but in Xenoblade it might feel a lot more like a helping hand. It just depends on the game and how I like it’s flavor of gameplay and story.
