inb4 mitch praises bloke

A lot of other things are also going on (ridiculous) sales on Friday. Might even get myself a Wii U here.....

Actually play it this time.

 

[Tragonight]

I did play it a fairly good amount, but apparently I played my Wii more.....

One day, ONE day, I'll get around to trying Xenoblade again.

 

[Splash_King]

I said the same thing a year ago.

In the meantime, try Xenogears. It's more traditional than Xenoblade's mmo inspired gameplay. Plus, it's better in its own ways.

 

[Splash_King]

IIRC Xenogears is downloadable from PSN.

... Not that this matters t' me. Think I'll wait 'til I've a PC competent enough to emulate the ol' PS1 'fore delving into Gears.

Xenoblade's mmo inspired gameplay.

lolwut

The game emphasises aggro, dps, positioning, the sorta thing unexpected from jrpg's. Most importantly, they're done well. You get loads of exploration, a rarity nowadays. Removes potions too, so no more spamming health. But unlike mmo's, it maintains plenty of it's jrpg roots. Among them the subtitular Monado, which is just as potent as the story makes it out to be while used as an in-game weapon. A great example of immersive gameplay.

Sounds like I'll enjoy the combat system, as Resonance of Fate could be described as such... though not in comparison to a MMO.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans! And everybody else too, because even if we're often hypocritical about it, it has a good message at its core.
