Discussion of future connected (no leaks)


Surprised by the number of people on youtube who think jumping straight into future connected is the way to go.

I'm personally going to be thoroughly replaying the main story before checking out the epilogue

Same and I don't think paying full price just to skip main game and just play Future Connect its good idea, but hey its their choice.

Normally I would change my preorder to amazon and save some money. But I wanna show my support to Nintendo and Xenoblade Devs.

If Amazon discounted it, that would mean Nintendo and Monolith Soft will still get the cut they should have gotten at full price. Amazon eats up the difference.

Now the question is will Amazon ship on time?

Youtubers do this not because it is the proper way to play but because they want to be first to post the new content for more views, the remake is really not new content so they are pushing the hype for future connected.
 
a lot of people have copies, I see 2 youtube channels with their PART ONE let's play videos of over an hour long posted. One is 2 and a half hours long. I glimpsed a little bit.

We have 96 hours left till we can play, just a bit longer. Until then let the hype wash over you and pray you ce arrives on time.
If my copy doesn't arrive in time you all find out in hard way that my tag is actually sarcastic.

until then I will be waiting.

this game is not really a game you can just play again from scratch no matter how many years it has been once you know the twists it is hard to look at the early game the same way as if you did not know

we need a mind wipe machine

You haven't play the game but you hate Xenoblade very, very , very much, just thinking about it makes you sick.

Imagine........I would go back and play OoT the Witcher 3 and BoTW in that order.

So, did they censor anything?
Visually they didn't censor anything on Xenoblade 2, I don't see any reason Nintendo censor Definitive Edition.

Just don't let this happen to you on Ghosts of Tsushima also!
I pre-ordered that game from EBgames long before the COVID, I'm hoping by July my local EBgames re-opens.......right?......RIGHT?
 
Personally im disappointed graphically. At least on the handheld as I always play that way. Game is so obviously blurry and...pixelized. i dont know how to explain but i mean Dragon Quest 9, Ni no Kuni and others are way way sharper. This looks like Vaseline was spread all over the screen.

People said same thing about XC2 in handheld mode and sure it’s much lower resolution compare to other Switch games in handheld mode but I honestly didn't have much issue putting 300 + hours in to the game in handheld mode.......but that’s just me.

If this is your first time playing Xenoblade game then just play it on your TV, the scale and beautiful environments, even without the resolution problem its better first experienced on TV.
 
Theres absolutely np reason why this game should be lower than 720P in handheld mode. I hope a day one patch fixes something but I doubt it. I was really shocked when I started playing it at how low res and blurry it is. And Ive played a lot of switch games in handheld.
 
Resolutions(Dynamic):
Docked 540p-720p
Handheld 378-540p

I expected better.

dipping as low as 378p on handheld is, quite simply, unacceptable. This isn't a port of a PS4 or Xbox title but a ground up remake of an older title, they should either sort the shitty XC2 engine out, or tone things down so it can run at least 540p handheld and 720p docked at all times.

Going to hold off my day-1 purchase until more impressions come in over how it looks.

It's about what I expected, when it comes to Nintendo I don't expect the bleeding edge in graphical fidelity and I get the frustration that may bring, hell I wish they would release strong hardware but for what we got I'm pretty content with it. What has me puzzled is why these Xenoblade games preform so badly BotW is a more demanding game and runs better and so does dq11 maybe it's something with the engine?
