I wish they had promoted the DLC a little bit more, it seems to be as huge as Torna and yet they just dropped a trailer one week before the release...

 

Anyway, not complaining tho I can't wait to play as daddy Shulk & Rex 

[Rence]

I called our local retailer and I was able to snatch the last stock they have left of the TOTK Collector’s Edition 

[feelslikeadream]

Maybe they're just dropping this without much promo because they don't think it's good or something  

 

But either way, XC3 DLC is not a big enough release to carry any season, let alone the holiday. They better announce some Mario sports game soon or something.

 

Anyway, Silksong announcement in a few hours! 

[thatsmydemi]

Y'all I need an answer. Help me. 

 

 

 

Does Nintendo still allow you to use keys? I've seen a XC3 DLC key discounted but I remember an article that said they wouldn't allow this anymore. Last time I bought a key was for Animal Crossing (before that article). 

[youreyesgocold]

I don’t have time to read the discourse because I’m at work but I’m literally GAGGED at this shadow drop. Daddy!Rex does things to me. 
 

Someone please figure out for me if they’re dropping a physical because I only held out on the dlc to wait for the physical release 

[feelslikeadream]

Why didn't they open the Indie World showcase with Silksong?!

Engage, Bayo 3, XC3, OT2 ... jesus so many games that couldn't live up to their breakout predecessor and instead lived in their shadow.

 

Is the trend goin to continue with TOTK or will it break the curse?

[Baltie]

 

A whole ass BOP 

[thatsmydemi]

XC3 stomped on XC2 and I say this as someone whose fave game of all time was XC2. 

 

Saying XC2 is better won't make you edgy or cool

 

Can't wait to replay this critically acclaimed and Game of the Year nominated game once again. Not everybody has that now that I think about it! 

[Magickarp]

This is the best analysis so far  i need to stop watching all these analysis i feel like i'm getting spoilt

Anyways he speculates that we'll get the scrapped Skyward Sword idea for Playable Zelda's POV, but this time she's stuck in the past

It's ******* tragic when u list it all out like that

 

Like even ignoring the quality dip, which is subjective, the sales dip for Engage & OT2 is serving -75%  XC3 is the only one that might match it's predecessor sales wise, but it's hard to say when we don't have XC2 sales data beyond 2021. XC3 was a JOKE compared to XC2 tho  one of the most eye-rolling stories, & blandest characters  

 

TOTK is definitely coming to eat tho  

If Zelda isn't playable then i retract this statement

I WAS JUST THINKING THIS LAST NIGHT WHILE BRUSHING MY TEETH.

 

Like they really had a huge hit with Three Houses in part because it was a great entry point for newcomers, then followed it up with... a game that featured all the protagonists from past games  Then XC3 took the best parts of the first two games—exploration and story—and did both poorly. Bland environments, bland characters, bland story.

 

I can't speak to the other two, but I'm def nervous about TotK. But I have my fingers crossed!

1. BOTW = Hogwarts

3. PLA

4. FE3H = Triangle

6. OT1

7. Portal = NieR

9. XC2

10. Hades

 

Technically ranking the PS5 version of Hogwarts but  OT2 not making the T10 despite being so similar to OT1  I just can't place it higher than Hades. I guess the better characters & challenge in OT1 mattered a lot more to me, than the new positives. XC3 pretty much had the same issue, plus a far worse story. Honestly after playing OT2 i'm wondering if i'm remembering OT1 through rose colored lenses, & if i should kick it down below Portal & NieR 

 

TOTK, Blanc, & It Takes Two will be played soon

I wanna fight and argue this cuz Fire Emblem is part of my gaming trinity but damn, you’re right. I haven’t played in weeks, still around chapter 17 or 18 with no desire to even finish. How?

Taste. But the fights I’ve gotten into for suggesting this about those two 

[Graves]

The worst part of XC3 for me is how it retroactively makes me like the first two a little less, knowing that those happy endings mean nothing since the events of XC3 have to happen anyway

 

That DLC trailer is serving some cringe fanfic nonsense, as was the main game. Just re-release the unblemished gem that is Xenoblade X and call it a day, Monolith.

[Baltie]

The XC3 hate in here 

 

Yes I might have felt that the story was lacking at first but by the time it got towards the middle and ending, it became my most favorite XC game of all time.

Not Handwritten being in my top 10 most played albums of all time.

They were saying the games share a rank in their personal top 10 list, not that they're similar.

Bayo3 was one of the biggest letdowns in my entire gaming life. Can’t think of something teased for that long that ended up that disappointing

Yeah I know. I didn’t misinterpret that. 

[Hallad173]

I would love to get a Triangle Strat. sequel soon, that story was a rollercoaster and had me rethinking my life choices 

 

i hope it sold a decent amount. 

Maybe I’ll finally try Digimon Survive to get my drama fix in the mean time.

The way you spit straight facts. Tossed it in the bin halfway through Ch 3

Oooh she's so good. Loved my time with DS, but I only played through one of the branching storylines.

 

I wanted to wait a bit before jumping in again because the first two thirds of the game are the same on most runs. Maybe by the summer it will have been long enough time away for me to want to return. But I definitely would recommend it (if you like visual novels and NOT if you're looking for a strategy game  )

 

 

 

[Rence]

My opinions on the XC protagonists are similar to my opinions on their respective games. I just realized they represent their own games so well

 

XC - Shulk is mostly good but he has his weak moments

 

XC2 - Rex is a good (generic) shonen character with great development but he’s also f****** annoying

 

XC3 - Noah is painfully average

 

I ranked them 3 > 1 > 2 before but lately I’ve realized that 3 had so much wasted potential that in the end it turned out to be a jack of all trades that never excels in anything  They’re all equal to me now but a definitive edition of 2 would definitely rank first
