A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Neo Rasa posted:

I loved Chronicles but didn't play X at all, is it really that bad? Like how did they gently caress it up should I skip it completely?

It's loving terrible.

Basically as you know, Chronicles is a classic JRPG with a nice huge map that makes it feel like you are actually exploring a world rather than going a straight line. It can be argued to be "open world' but it really isn't. Despite this it has a lot of explorable places with purpose and a is just a blast to run around in.

In contrast, X is simply one gigantic map with a bunch of sidequests. There are "main quests" but they are literally in an episodic format and make you do stupid requirements to unlock them. In short, it's like a single player MMO. It really isn't Xenoblade at all. For everything that should have been improved in the first game it was actually worse. Despite being in a gigantic map I'd argue that the exploration was worse as areas rarely felt like they had any purpose or thought put into them. Hell you often get lost with the map most of the time due to just bad design, despite being able to loving FLY. The battle system also sucks. Sure Xenoblade Chronicles battle system was sloppy but at least there were some tactics to it, X just feels random in comparison. Also the music is horrible and the story is pathetically bad. It's not really THAT bad of a game, it is just VERY disappointing coming after Xenoblade Chronicles.

2 joycons would bump you up to potential 4 player gaming which is the standard for bro-op

I'll second nearly everything here. Coming after Chronicles X was incredibly dissapointing.
