Xenoblade Chronicles X
So....somehow this game managed to take 90 hours of my life over christmas and I'm unsure where it fit in...it certainly did not seem like 90 hours! And I'm far from completing 100%. This is one of the issues with this game....As a completionist after 90 hours I hope to be somewhere near to completing. I mean I don't mind having to abandon hope on some top level bosses (weapons anyone) just because but this was just no. I had other games to play and a life to live. And I like my games finished. I'm not the type to dip into it when I have so many other things to do, I like to play and finish! (Not counting specials to my heart like monster hunter/pokemon/Wow/ Realm Reborn). Also for me personally there was just not enough story to go with the endless supply of optional missions. What was I doing it for if I didn't care so much about the characters. This may have been due to an important plot point being revealed to me before I'd sat down to play, taking away one of the few story moments anyway. The game was enjoyable for what is what though....adventuring and exploring this new planet. My other problem was the difficulty curve with the last boss. As I had spent so much more time doing the extra quests I felt ENTITLED (yep) to certain privileges. Like not having to grind for the last boss...I was thinking that I've played this so long that I must be ready...right? Turns out my Hubby put in half the time but instead of side quests he worked on getting a good weapon and beat the boss no problem whereas I had issues....NOT FAIR in my book! The final scenes were lackluster in my opinion (bar one plot twist) and the after credit scene perfectly suited the lack of story the game had managed to achieve...no answers...your getting nothing! Anticlimactic if you ask me. Yet I still enjoyed this game! Just don't go in with the opinion that its going to be like original Xenoblade chronicles. No Reyn Time here!
