I hope the final boss will not be so freaking difficult !!! I didn't finish the game only due to the final boss. I have tried twice and I failed and also, it took a long time to fight.. I saw the ending from youtube but I didn't like this situation. It's like it feels a bit bitter in the end, despite the fact that the whole game was awesome.
We have already Doom classics, Doom new titles, Bayonetta, GTA, Devil May Cry, lots of Resident Evil titles (even these on the cloud soon), Shin Megami Tensei, Dark Souls, many horror games, Vampyr, Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, etc and this guy says about mature content and underground feeling? Where this guy lives? On what period? On nes era? ...
It was very good, like a small E3 presentation. Some titles were interesting and some other not but for different groups of people. Fire Emblem Engage, Zelda, Crisis Core FF7, Octopath2, Tunic were one of the best!
It's good for Sakurai for having a youtube channel with many subscribers but what about making again games? For example if he uses all his energy in making videos from now on, this means that he will retire from gaming industry? I hope not..
I would like to have an option to skip the animation battles in Ouroboros chain attacks. The first times were very very good but seeing this over and over again, it gets repetitive.
It would be interesting if it will be a success, to have more sequels with the ideas of gameplay in Mario series, eg Racoon Mario, cap of Mario, cat Mario, etc.
I remember when I was able to order Naruto GNT3+4 because I couldn't find it anywhere else with a normal price. I was playing it with Freeloader disc and so, I could play JPN NTSC in a PAL GameCube. I was so happy
@Sonos All titles are stand-alone but they borrow a somehow same battle system. It's not the same but it has some similarities. All have different story and you can play as different titles. Is not a continuation in story despite the fact that it's xenoblade 1, 2, 3 etc. So, you can play them in any order you like.
@Li_Bae Actually it is a teaser and not a trailer as they had written. It's normal though because now begins the development. They don't have ready the material to have a full trailer. There is not content yet.
@rex_rex Then if you cannot want a Wii U, you can only through emulation. I have not done it myself because I have an old mac and it's not good for games and emulation for Wii U. I have seen though some videos in youtube.
@rex_rex https://www.pockettactics.com/xenoblade-chronicles-3/review But the soundtrack, too, takes a step forward for the series. Not only is the heartwrenching piano and driving guitar that Yasunori Mitsuda excels at as good as ever here, but there are new elements, adding to a darker, more dystopian tone.
From the outset, bubbling synths drive alongside fast-paced drum beats, like a hyperactive Bladerunner soundtrack, adding to the overall feeling of sci-fi this game presents. Sure, Xenoblade Chronicles X has that, but the other two mainline games feel much more like fantasy lands, rather than the far-flung dystopian future of XC3. (This isn’t just a tonal change, it feels deliberate for story reasons, reasons best left unsaid for now).
@Varathius Exactly the same. I was negative about this chibi anime character but later on when I was playing the game, I didn't have any problems for this! It was great. It was like Zelda W windwaker. When we first saw the trailer, it was awful. When we were playing the game, we liked it a LOT !
@rex_rex Here in this time that I have left it for you, it says it has an outstanding soundtrack: https://youtu.be/SPKDX5B8X0s?t=48 So, I believe it will be good!
Yes, it has nothing to do with Mario Galaxy! It seems like a not so good copy paste of Super Stardust HD (ps3). Perhaps Nintendo Life didn't know it because it was PS game. Stardust also had great OST!
I would prefer not using CG but pure hand drawn animation. I know it costs less but judging from trailer, if you compare it with the old SF2 animated movie, still SF2 is way better!
@CaptainCluck Exactly. We would like to see if his voice will eventually fit in the movie. Judging from the voice that Mario has in all the past games, it will be a challenge to hear a different voice because we have used it. On the other hand, I don't mind Chris tell about his religion beliefs. If someone is offended, please don't read what he says/writes.
@Clyde_Radcliffe Yes, indeed but it was like a spiritual sequel. I had finished it way back then but it was not as good as the first. At least, it had a better length in time.
If I buy this title, I would buy it for local co-op. It's fantastic that they have support it. Too pity that many games rely only on online. It's not the same experience.
@Kochambra Colonel's Bequest!! Oh I was trying to remember this title and I had forgotten its name! Yes, you read my mind. What a game! Truly classic! I was playing on 8088 PC with black & white graphics, no sound and still I was enjoying it!
but unfortunately it is not in so high quality. I haven't found it better. Also, there are some other tracks that worth listening to in this album, eg Between the Pages - Page Two, The Orchards, The Lab, Lament & Hornpipe, etc.
