Official Xenoblade wankery thread

[Guild McCommunist]

Really it's not the games that annoy me, it's usually the developers or the audience. For Minecraft it's both, for Xenoblade it's the audience.

Hey morans, what was so special about XenoBlade?

 

[Foxi4]

Foxi has a tendency to legitimately hate on everything at one point or another. It's sort of his thing ya' know. Non-biased destruction is what I call it.

I think he just hates on things other people circle jerk to really. Maybe he has something against circle jerks?

Have you ever been to an art gallery where people flock around this one painting that looks like they stole it from a 5-year old's finger painting class? That hideous blob which really isn't art, but due to the pretentious audience and the circumstances is considered art?

I'm this guy who's in the back, pointing, laughing and yelling "This is not art. Just so you know, guys!".

There are certain monumental games that deserve the recognition they get, games that shaped the industry, games that are, in a way, masterpieces of their time - Quake, Half-Life, Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy. Those games you may like or dislike, but you acknowledge them and the way they shaped their respective genres. Those games brought something relevant to the table, something that will last.

There are also semi-decent games people wank about because they don't know any better or because the circumstances were right. Can't blame them, anyone can get caught in that trap. I can point and laugh though.

And just on the side note - I don't hate Xenoblade, it's an okay game if not a tad boring. What I hate is when people religiously defend any game, and on the temp it's always Mario, Xenoblade or Pokemon. Those games have flaws - all games do, and people should get used to the fact that they can be criticized. Don't get your panties in a bunch, they're just games.

Why is that when you dismiss Xenoblade as a boring game, anyone else who thinks of the game as a masterpiece or simply enjoys it is wrong. Different people have different tastes.

To use an example, I think Gravity Rush is mind-numbingly boring, tedious and has horrible combat while you adore the game. It would be wrong for me to simply dismiss your opinion as wrong, though. Perhaps certain aspects of that game appeal to you as a gamer while they don't to me. Like I said, different people have different tastes.

I did mention that the game is alright, albeit a bit boring in my opinion. My major point was that it did not bring anything groundbreaking into the genre and is unlikely to make an impact on JRPG as we know it, hence treating it like a godsend is a bit much. Everybody to their own tastes, all I'm saying is that I don't see a reason why anyone would religiously worship it. Gravity Rush is not a game-changer either - it's reminiscent of Nights, even Mario 64 flying sections, which both in turn were groundbreaking.

 

[pokefloote]

it's the best "attack defend skill" rpg on the wii. slow and a bit boring at first as stated a million times before. but it's alright.

there's only like 3 traditional style rpg games total on the wii so being "the best RPG game on the wii" is really not that big of a deal.

Arc Rise Fantasia, Xenoblade, and ???
