Even the damn Soccer game sold more than it. Why didn't you buy the game, Anon?

Xenoblade 3 sold less than 2 mil
Not tricking me into buying this crap again. Shilled me with the last one but not this time. I'm different now.
this. you dumbasses tricked me into buying that whack ass 2. never again.
Because it was a pozzed/censored game
cute couple
Slightly darkened skin Japanese guy with an Anglo white girl
How is this pozzed
DO NOT search "Xenoblade 3" "blacked girl" and check whose Xeno wiki entry comes up.
Anon, I would never search up “blacked” anything. I’m not a homosexual cuck that deserves a bullet to the head
Why? It's just normal Eunie entries.
The only thing pozzed about that was showing that girls can break bucks too
They were unironically the best pair j the game. It performed poorly because it looked bland, the world wasn't as fun to explore, the characters were wooden, and the story was boring as shit, especially after chapter 5.
>t. cries about his eric boyfriend
You exposed him, chad.
Not sex enough
Holy flop, guess it's not bingbing pedo enough
2 sucked why would I buy 3
This. I only bought XB2 because I enjoyed XB1 so much.
XB2 sucked so bad I fell out of love with the series, and no interest in XB3.
2 was amazing. Very thankful it filtered you people out of the fanbase
>xenozoomerz think malos getting hyper aids cancer, falling of a 3 foot ledge and being completely fine in the very next cutscene is amazing
I'm so fricking glad I'm not a xenoblade fan if your fanbase is full of "people" that enjoy this shit
3 feet isnt very far, it's not even 1 meter
>noooo the villains can't be wacky and entertaining they have to be boring and shit like Z and i(N)cel
Just another area where 3 clearly fell short of 2
>Xeno2 is already a modern classic
To braindead coomers, yes.
If actual fans and players of Xenoblade are "braindead coomers" who made one entry massively succeed then why are you pretending making a journo safe sequel is better?
It's the opposite, you dont turn an rpg into a puzzle game randomly.
Because nothing what you described ever happened
Sales reflect that it did. If 1m players didnt buy it you cant just handwave it as "nothing happened".
The reason 3 even had good sales at start was due to the good faith 2 created, which in turn had good sales due to the good faith 1 created. It's how it works.
If it dies like this it simply means 3 isnt a good game for the fans of Xenoblade to come back to.
>Sales reflect that it did
Xenoblade 3 sold more in 3 months than XB2 did in 3 years.
Yeah, I guess the sales do reflect where the fanbase is.
>Look at this arbitrary meaningless data that I'm comparing for no real reason, I got you!
You didnt because you fail to realize 2 ultimately went past its own boundary created by 1 when 3 won't.
2 had an exponential growth, 3 is already dying off. There's nothing that makes "selling faster" relevant to the simple discussion that it's a game that's performing sub 2m sales in a franchise that had went past that boundary before its release.
That's just simple facts.
>You didnt because you fail to realize 2 ultimately went past its own boundary created by 1 when 3 won't.
Source on your baseless wishfull thinking?
The entirety of this FY results are a source
See:
The game faded out of popularity fast and if even in the holiday season it cant get a 100k+ copy boost then there's no reason for it to sell anymore in a year where Fire Emblem, Zelda and many other more popular RPG titles release.
It's just going to die off with the DLC doing nothing to salvage it since it'll be showcased in the same shows that have to sell better games, therefore it'll just sell to those 1.5m who have it.
You can keep circling around the issue, fact is that the game will struggle for years to hit 2m by the looks of it while it was PROJECTED and speculated by many, even in here, to break 2m at release. 500k away from doing so right now.
>The entirety of this FY results are a source
Yes, and Xenoblade 3 sold more in 3 months than 2 did in 3 years.
>still pushing his edited chart
lmao Who are you trying to fool?
>Yes, and Xenoblade 3...
And what? That's not relevant nor does it change anything. A sequel selling more at start because of its predecessor success is normal.
Yet it didnt do so in such a way where it can be called a success nor is it showing it's ever going to reach the peaks of 2 and has to challenge the peaks of 1.
Selling fast is irrelevant if that fast burns the whole castle down. 3 wasnt made with such a poor budget like 2 and without the time to properly quality control it, it's a triple A with no excuses for this level of failure.
>his edited chart
That chart is correct, it reports SALES, not shipments.
A sequel on the same console selling less is also normal, erictroony 😉
is already a modern classic
it is
it's still generating fanart and merchandising revenue
didn't play any xeno game but DMC2 was shit and DMC3 was great so your logic isn't valid
A person can be turned off by a prequel and not play any later games Anon.
get it off the switch
i even own one and won't buy it for it
I did, biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Xeno 2 really was a fluke after all, I should have known.
lmao
>8mil
>can't hit 200k in 7 months
Wow, it's never going to get more than 500k, might not even hit that. The Switch has hit it's fatigue spiral and most people won't be picking up titles. Monolith soft made a huge mistake putting out 3. Should have made other games, saved 3 for the next system. If DLC 4 is a seperate game and not just an expansion to the current base game, then it will be even worse. Only those that currently have the game will want to get it, mostly because they already bought the expansion pass. Anyone that might have liked 1 and 2, but didn't like the look of 3 won't pick up base 3 and will instead get the DLC game in it's separate state, especially if it's cheap like Torna was. It is seriously over for 3. Monolith soft will look at these sales and seriously reconsider doing anything with Xenoblade as a series for a bit.
Reddit troony sales prediction post. Woah who gives a frick. You think the jap salarymen are this delusional
Fastest selling xenoblade, surpassing 2s sales at the same release time and will outsell 2 in lifetime sells. Guess 2 bombed as well why do they keep making these
This scares the 2gays
>XC3 Months 3-5: 90k
>XCDE Months 4-6: 80k
>XC2 Months 4-6: 110k
Why are you proving it's selling like shit during an "holiday boost" you all pretended was going to make it go past 2m and it's not even halfway there yt?
Why do you only look at these things in a vacuum? Statistics like these only matter with very similar circumstances. If it was the next console release, about the same time in the console's life, with a similar amount of potential buyers, than sure, it would be on track to beat 2.
However, this is the end of this consoles life. Those that wanted to pick up games for it have already done so. The stability of the YEN is in question. Even when talking global sales, it isn't looking good, because all anyone talks about is Zelda and next console. It doesn't have legs and you are delusional in thinking so.
Stop
Spacing
When you
Have no reason to
Do you not realize that it is THAT mindset that is killing the series? People like consistency in their RPGs, it is what makes them a practical buy, because they know what they can expect. When you decide that you want to make a "wholy different experience", you alienate your audience, constantly. Now if they had actually interesting ideas for their combat systems and their plots weren't just slight derivatives of christian themes and they went back to having interesting character design (not XC2 you idiot, I'm talking Baten Kaitos) that didn't look like they walked out of the GAP, maybe people would give a shit. Here is my prediction. 4 will be shown for the next system. They will say that it has nothing to do with 1,2 and 3 and views of the trailers won't even reach 1 million before the game comes out. Sales for first 3 months are 45k, reviews are mixed. Takahashi comes out and says that the future of the franchise is in jeopardy. Kojima brings out X2, that will surely get the ball back in their court. 10k sales in 3 months. Dead.
>When you decide that you want to make a "wholy different experience", you alienate your audience
All 3 Xenoblade games are extremely similar
Seems to me you are mentally I’ll and have an emotional stake in the outcome
Neither of these games were impressively successful. Only on a niche level . Xb3 is objectively the more successful game of the two financially speaking, anyone who can distort this reality must have been raped by his dad who was wearing a teddy ruxpin mask at age12
Yeah, Xenoblade 3 is technically the first mainstream successful Xeno games unless you count Xenogears and Xenosaga. The others are all cult tier popular at best.
>fastest selling
Why do morons keep falling for marketing speak? Like Black person think for like a second about what they're ACTUALLY saying you dumb frick. If you sell 10 games in 1 second you could be the "fastest selling", it says frick all about the total quantity of products sold. Games have been selling "faster" than ever because that shit is all digital and more and more people are getting familiar with buying games digitally.
God you fricking morons suck so much, how hard is it to just not be fricking moronic?
Tell that to the Pokemon Scarlet/Violet apologists
Xeno games are the passion project of Monolith that they make in their basement with the extra peanuts that Nintendo tosses them while they're helping with Zelda and Mario
Console is too weak and even nintendo talibans don't want to play on that shit anymore
Not interested in JRPGs, sorry.
after future connected was shit and xb2 was shit i just pirated xb3
That was given
I remember when XC2 released there were multi threads 24/7
XC3 only have like 1 thread at times.
That's because leakers ruined most of the twists. People had fun with getting shocked at the revelations and powerups in XB2, not so much in XB3 when leakers basically screamed all over the internet all the spoilers. That and because it's less anime than XB2, it's harder to meme about it.
>That and because it's less anime than XB2
Literally every cutscene involves the party turning into giant magical anime mechs that pull a 10,000 times folded nopongo steel katana out of their chest to beat the opposition with the power of feelings.
Talking about the story. There's less of 'Japanese Humor' type of anime cliches since the story wasn't your traditional anime shounen protagonist plot.
Anon stop talking out of your ass. It's the most basic b***h shonen anime plot out there, whereas XB2 combined moronic shonen shit with moronic harem shit.
>Talking about the story. There's less of 'Japanese Humor' type of anime cliches since the story wasn't your traditional anime shounen protagonist plot.
Thank frick! That was the most insufferable thing about 2.
>XC3 only have like 1 thread at times.
They censored and de-sexed it, for starters. We're basically just seeing a return to normal niche Xeno sales numbers without the coomer boost. They also made Rex a harem chad, which made can't-self-insert autists and trannies alike seethe with eternal rage, so that took off another 1-2% of potential sales.
And on top of that, the game was emulated and spoiled before it even released (and people didn't actually like the story or ending that was spoiled), which probably put a significant dent in the sales.
>They also made Rex a harem chad, which made can't-self-insert autists and trannies alike seethe with eternal rage, so that took off another 1-2% of potential sales.
Now I really want Monolith to make a yuri game like Samurai Maiden, to piss off more of these people
The troony fetish is not popular so never
The trannies hate yuri since the girls don't have dicks.
Nah trannies love Yuri because they self insert in them
Nice try goyim
They only love Genderbender or Futanari
Series has reached its ceiling in sales with this style and gameplay. Next Xenoblade will be a fresh start for the series. New look, new feel, new combat system.
Makes sense its a stopping point for the director.
Naw he'll keep making them as long as he can, he's in too deep with his BS. Actually hope some of the old crew comes to help wrangle him back down
Xeno games are the games that Monolith wants to make, and they'll keep making as long as papa N gives them enough leash. All the work on Splat and BotW is how they pay the bills. It's true XBC3 should've come a bit later on another Console, but Nintendo rode the success of the Switch a bit too long and essentially got forced into spinning their wheels on hardware for the past couple of years. OLED was obviously a result of Switch+ plans but they were barely able to get that out at the time, much less produce anything with better internals than the standard Switch
I don't think it has, the problem is other factors.
>timing of game coming out
>RPGs in Japan are STUPID expensive. YEN fricking imploded for how much it is on the world stage, meaning that people are less likely to buy an RPG that is twice the amount of other games
>character design didn't catch the eye of most people, for all their talk, people don't want boring looking characters, especially considering Monolith's other outings even before Xenoblade
Monolith soft walked into the perfect storm of never buys. XC3 was doomed to fail and it might kill the Xeno franchise as a whole depending on Nintendo's reaction. What would be most hilarious is if, by some miracle, the Wave 4 DLC as a stand alone game sells better and now Monolith has to explain to Nintendo just how that is possible.
>XC3 was doomed to fail and it might kill the Xeno franchise as a whole depending on Nintendo's reaction.
Lmfaaoo. Takahashi already said Xenoblade will continue. He said 3 is the culmination and end of the Klaus arc. New Xenoblade will be a new beginning.
Koh Kojima also said just doing numbered games could get stale in an interview after 2's release so they're all probably feeling that staleness.
Takahashi has also gone on record to say he gets bored easily and want to continue to try new things.
Xenoblade 4 is going to have a shake up not necessarily JUST to broaden its appeal but cause the creators get bored and want to just make something different. Now they can go a bit more wild now that they've got the Xenoblade saga out on one console.
New start. Clean slate. New combat system. New character designer. It's what they want to do.
Two was the end of the Klaus arc and the bait and switch bullshit they pulled with the photo "leak" on this board left me wondering where the frick was the interesting exposition regarding Klaus
As a diehard fan I wasn't even going to buy this shit game until I saw the photo and thought how amazing the game COULD be
Instead we get the worst game in the series, buyer's remorse and endless cutscenes for cardboard characters
Erictroony, your COPE isn't working.
>might kill the xeno series
Lmao. Absolute delusional moronation. They’ll be making these games king after you’re rotting in the ground
Developing an IP takes time you idiot. Most of nintendos big seller started as literally whos. Animal crossing wasn't a thing till the 3DS and most of their best sellers are derivative of Mario. As long as it sells and satisfies a certain audience then nintendo isn't going to kill it.
Rather get a new IP than a new Xeboblade at this point. What else is there to do in the series?
I fricking hope so, the combat is some of the worst I've ever seen played, even after rehashing three times. It's always so boring. Stop with the team shit, or just give us two characters that slowly become a couple, now THAT would be kino.
So Xenoblade 3 with only Noah and Mio?
Do you expect a snoy to know better?
What do you expect out of a game made by a washed up former Square Enix employee with outdated sensibilities? Bandai Namco should've destroyed Monolith, so they wouldn't make garbage like this.
Not multiplatform.
Next.
XC2 killed off the series.
No, Monolith deciding to ignore what made Xenoblade 2 popular killed off the series.
What made Xenoblade 2 popular? Shota?
Unabashed tiddy and cheesecake-y clothing design, front and center.
That's gonna alienate a huge chunk of paying customers.
And players who like those kind of things have spent most of their disposable income on Chinese phone games.
>That's gonna alienate a huge chunk of paying customers.
Hence Xenoblade 2 being a sales decline from the last game and losing mindshare after release. Oh wait, that was the sequel that came after, the one that made shit way more modest on the surface.
I think going forward Monolith should make a gacha game for Xenoblade, like what IS did for Fire Emblem. They have keet the Fire Emblem Heroes super dangerous with questionable designs, while keeping the console entries uncontroversial. It's a successful formula for Xenoblade.
>I think going forward Monolith should make a gacha
hell fricking no
It's where breasts and asses go, like Dolphin Wave for Senran Kagura devs.
Gacha is the death knell of any franchise
Keep that shit away from Xenoblade
It's the fandisk of any franchise. Fire Emblem, and Pokemon etc all push the fan service there and keep their mainline entries clean and mainstream.
Fire Emblem and Pokemon are in the shitter currently. I really don't want Xenoblade to follow their example
Nintendo know that sex appeals have no place in a children's game.
FE and Pokemon are dosghit
You’re asking for the death of the series. Heroes’s bullshit character designs didn’t stay in Heroes. Engage has made it even clearer that they are aiming for that segment of the market with their games.
actual moron.
Really? Maybe I should check out Engage after the translation is fixed. Sounds like 2nd coming of Xenoblade 2.
>the people who whine about 3's character designs also think the series needs a mobile gacha game
lmao
Yes all good anime girls are mobile now.
Even old good anime girls are getting butchered in modern remakes.
Frick them. If you’re selling T&A, why the frick would you suddenly want to sell to nuns in a monastery in fourth city in the third world?
You sell to your primary audience, here it’s anime and fanservice.
It’d be like some medicaid company trying to sell on Fortnite.
Define "front and center" because trailers mostly focused on Rex with only some Pyra, and even then it's not like she got any gratuitous camera shots
I remember a direct where they took the cutscene from rex waking up in pyra's lap conveniently looking up at her boobs so I don't think that's true
go to pixiv Xeno 2 still receives loves everyday
go to pixiv Xeno 3 started to struggle time ago
this
So it sold about as well as the other 2 xeno blade games on switch? Nice
Less sales. No merch and figurines. They will go back to having T&A in their games. Replacing that with having POC character didn't exactly bring in people to buy their game.
>Less sales.
Facutally wrong.
>No merch and figurines.
How long did it take for Xeno 2 to have figurines? 5 years?
>They will go back to having T&A in their games.
Never went away
They won't. They have earned same if not more money from XC3 than XC2, plus the generous investment from various hedge fund companion for their commitment to improve the Message of Xenoblade.
>No merch and figurines.
they already announced a mio figma and a mio statue would be made before the game came out
https://twitter.com/GoodSmile_US/status/1555705471297851392
https://twitter.com/GoodSmile_US/status/1555705223632637952
Too bad these are scrapped after the disappointing sales of Xenoblade 3.
Meanwhile Xenoblade 2 figures came out shortly after the game.
They should release a figure of M.
If she gets a figure I'm hotgluing her ass
>Didn't release that M ass as an alt costume.
CRIMINAL!
Devs trying to hard to become normalgays friendly
>Replacing that with having POC character
Are people really still seething over Taion?
you're on Ganker, home site of the chuds, what do you think
>chud
Thank you for being the living proof XC3 "fans" are just butthurt leftists as usual
seek professional help before everyone you know leaves
Nah it's just the one or two shitposters that go into any 3 thread they can find to spam that the series is dead because it doesn't have Mythra in it
I went in with a chud mentality to hate him but then I realised that he's literally me
I did buy it but they doubled down on the moronic elevated terrain that requires either 20 minutes of figuring out how to get there or a travel skill that i don't own yet. I hated it in earlier titles and i hate it here even more. I see people here applauding this decision and i don't understand how can people be so blind
i'm not a rpg guy
There's simply no audience for it on the Switch. Monolith kicked itself in the ass when they agreed to work under Nintendo.
Poor mans FF12, except this time the MC is black. No thanks, America!
>JRPG selling slower than a casual party-game with months of headstart
Stop the presses!
3 is still selling better than 2, so it's doing great
But I did. Loved the game
>I didn't buy it because I saw a Black person. I bought xenoblade x
Elma was front and center in the promotional materials
Elma has thin lips. Eunie's boyfriend has thick lips.
No cute girls, no sales
>Sells better than 2
Are you suggesting 2 had even less cute girls?
Xenoblade 2 2nd quarter (Jan-Mar): 250k
Xenoblade 3 2nd quarter (Oct-Dec): 90k
XC3 low key flopped.
>Xenoblade 2 2nd quarter (Jan-Mar)
Months 2-4
>Xenoblade 3 2nd quarter (Oct-Dec)
Months 4-6
Try again. How much did Xenoblade sell from March to May 2018?
Xenoblade 3 was all hype but when it turned out the story and characters wasn't anything special and didn't even have the fanservice of 2 to cover those weak parts. Not surprise it had weak legs. Nobody talk about XB3 after a month. The lack of doujins is pretty telling too. Can anyone name a single popular character in XB3 would even show up in SMASH? None. Because there isn't any.
>In an interview with 4Gamer, Takahashi revealed that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had sold 1.73 million units worldwide as of March 2019.
>XC3 has now passed that number in less time
LOL you morons own yourself
>Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had sold 1.73 million units worldwide
>XC3 has now passed that number in less time
It didnt. Shipped != sold. Those are your sales, middle right.
The cope is embarassing.
Speaking of cope, you're claiming Takahashi himself is lying? Because those numbers are his
LOL moron
https://www.4gamer.net/games/368/G036837/20190416018/
What he says is irrelevant ( even tough I'm sure if you quoted it, he's just remark shipments again ) considering this info is taken from official sources that legally cannot lie over sales.
If its that hard to take in XC3 is a flop just step away from the pc and digest it because it's not going to magically change anytime soon.
The more time passes the more it's going to keep going down and down as it did in less than a year.
XC3 sold more in 7 months than 2 did in 15. What happens in 8 months from now does not concern me because
RIGHT NOW, it's a better selling game in the same span of time.
Cope
Seethe
Dilate
all three, because you're mad as FRICK lmao
The one being mad is the one refusing to accept the truth because by his own word he's living in a time bubble full well knowingly I'm right.
But I expected this reaction, you morons put too many bets into this game beating 2 that you cant even dip out respectfully when its obvious its a massive failure that cant even outsell DE in its current state
You know you could make money grifting like this but instead you're doing it for free on Ganker
delusional Black person, I pirated the game and played it on PC
You're like a troony except even more pathetic because your delusion is about fricking Tendie video game sales
LOL
>delusional Black person, I pirated the game and played it on PC
And you're spending time defending it so you still "paid" for it as far as reality goes. Good job.
I bought it, played it, didnt like it and didnt cope this hard over reality like you're doing. If its a failure maybe they take the hint 2 was the correct direction for the series and not this mess of a game.
only thing I'm spending is a good time laughing at your moronic ass. How long have you been at this, years? Fricking
L
O

A communal clown, dancing for everyone
You're really mindbroken over nothing, I've no idea what you're even taking this discourse towards now.
You dropped facts as soon as you couldnt disprove them, so just drop it entirely since you're not proving anyone wrong but yourself by acting like a complete moron and disproving that you dont have a bias
>You're really mindbroken over nothing
I dropped 'facts' because you just went 'NU UH NOT IN MY REALITY' like the absolute mental case you are. Again, just to drive home how moronic you are
>In an interview with 4Gamer, Takahashi revealed that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had sold 1.73 million units worldwide as of March 2019
>Takahashi revealed that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had sold 1.73 million units worldwide
Okay? XC3 SOLD 1.5m, where are you even trying to take this?
how poor are you that buying a bad game makes you post on Ganker for months on end seething about it?
???
I'm posting about it on a thread that was just made about info from a couple hours ago? How desperate are YOU that you costantly seek anti Xenoblade 3 posts to know about month long shitposting? The game is barely talked about as it is in general lol.
You "fans" really need to reconnect with reality instead of being this deluded. You just come off as unhinged.
>2 was good because it made more money
Well I guess they should go in the f2p gacha direction and make EVEN MORE money in a month than the whole series ever did.
With your argument, that would be an even better direction, right ? kys
Considering 2 designs were a bigger appeal than a game that takes itself too seriously and fails at being memorable like 3 I think they might find more success with a gacha than with a sequel to 3s style of game.
What I hope is that they return to how games were before 3, aka not being afraid to be anime and have anime design and not this boring semi realistic tame bullshit that people have to freeze frame to justify.
Even XC3 content creators have just proven it's not working out for what matters for a series to be alive ( sales ).
This guy was still making 2 videos YEARs after release. Watching him drop 3 so fast after shilling it so hard was fricking pathetic. He can't even believe his own lies.
>uh these sales are sales but these other sales are actually shipments because uhhhhhhh trust me bro, source: my butthole
lmao
lol
>child just found out about sales and shipments
Yes, 3 sold 1.5 million. It's still ahead of 2 sold-through numbers by 500k.
>bought game
>played on yuzu
perfection
I only cared for giga chad Rex
The thumbnail makes me think of Digimon 02 every time that I see it.
Look at how Gramps is eyeing up Dromarch's arsehole
Please do not criticize Nintendo. I will have to contact the mods to get rid of this thread as it is negative.
censored and no cute girls. I didn't even bother emulating it for free
>Juniper
It’s pozzed.
Juniper existing isn't political. Xenoblade 3 didn't even scream at you saying she deserves more rights.
I didn't even finished 3.
It was slightly better than 2 which I finished out of spite in the end, but overall still felt short.
only good blade games is 1 and X anyway.
X port when
I imagine the majority of people who got tricked into buying XB2 realized it was mediocre garbage and had no interest in the sequel. I took one look at the sequel and it actually looked worse than XB2 so that probably turned a lot of people away too. Then I played through the first two hours and holy frick who the hell is stupid enough to pay money for this absolute trash?
Do we know Metroid Dread’s sales yet?
Dread’s the best selling Metroid of all time, don’t worry for it.
>XC3 treats Melia like shit
>flops
As it should be
It did neither of those things, moron.
Cope
Maybe this will teach them to stop disrespecting Melia
>brings back Melia and Nia
>Melia is alone, sad, miserable
>Nia has a husband, a daughter, is happy
>Melia represents unparalleled tenacity and the sheer will to persevere through her miserable life despite nothing going her way
>Nia represents cringey, happy-go-lucky, anime tropes where nothing bad happens and they all live happily ever after!
XB2 was so boring and predictable.
i bought it but haven't finished yet
It was obvious to be honest, people here sperged too much to drive a narrative that simply isnt real.
They should've kept going with 2 direction.
>They should've kept going with 2 direction.
They did. Rex's daughter is literally the heroine of 2
These threads always conveniently ignore the massive boost 2 got from featuring in smash
They also forgot 2 only started selling copies when it got massive discount from the Nintendo 2-title ticket.
Nobody is going to take a look at a lukewarm design and say "I want to play that game".
Smash isnt a guaranteed boost and the game has already shown its characters are extremely forgettable.
Sorry to say but its over, you're out of copes. Facts arent arguing with Ganker, you're just arguing with reality. The numbers simply arent what you pretended they would've been.
Here XB2 got massively marketed as a huge RPG release for a platform with relatively few big games. Shulk's game also got a ton of positive word-of-mouth. Only issue is that shit will only fool people once, and most people quickly realized how the game was just terrible.
>RPG
>That pathetic excuse of "writing" they had
Yea nobody is going to come back for that shit, and from what little I heard XB3 is significantly worse on that front (how, though? I can't imagine being much worse)
>Nobody is going to take a look at a lukewarm design and say "I want to play that game".
Plenty of JRPGs have more boring designs than XC3 and are popular (3 Houses, Tactics Ogre, Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy etc)
>popular (3 Houses, Tactics Ogre, Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy etc)
Of those, only 3 Houses is popular and because its a Fire Emblem, a Nintendo main IP since time immemorial.
Also while I agree on the designs being as tame as XC3, the controversial writing carried it while XC3 writing is forgettable.
>Smash isnt a guaranteed boost
It is, that's been shown multiple times with sales being boosted for F3H after they put them in as well as bayonetta (although this one is harder to quantify due to the timing of it's release)
and you guys conveniently forget that xeno 2 was basically a niche game that made it big and xeno 3 was the most powerful release of the summer... and it flopped.
You conveniently forgot that shortly after release and poor reception, Xenoblade 2 was ridiculed for being marketed as one of the Switch Big Three of 2017 with Zelda BoTW, Mario Odyssey.
>Xenoblade 2 was ridiculed
looney troons are still seething to Xeno 2 to this day
excuse me, i don't care what pheromone junkies think
You mean the troonys from troonyera? You one of them?
Mythra and Pyra got added over the MC because they were popular to begin with. Does XB3 have a single popular character?
>Still posting this edit
All three games are using shipments in this chart, you stupid fricking Black person
No they dont, XC2 and DE only report sales not shipments. Only XC3 does that and it's convenient that you keep using it since its misleading to drive a failing narrative.
>No they dont, XC2 and DE only report sales not shipments.
All those numbers are from the same documents that report shipments. Stop lying, you stupid double-Black person
>All those numbers are from the same documents that report shipments. Stop lying, you stupid double-Black person
Wrong. XC2 and DE latest numbers are taken from CESA which only reports sales without those specifications.
Settle down, rage wont make XC3's underperformance disappear.
Then turn all the bars blue, because there's no first-quarter sold-through data for XB2 and DE, you lying triple-Black person
good job kneecapping xenoblade 3 wiith the censored pozzed shit NoA
hopefully engage also sells less than 3H
Pretty good numbers for a fairly low-budget JRPG.
It didn't have Pneuma, why would anyone buy it?
Xeno2 is already a modern classic. Some characters will be remembered fondly even decades ago. A new tifa/ cloud type of situation.
Xenobland 3 is forgotten
poetry
Xeno2 had characters? I couldn't tell through all the moeblobs and shonenslime, who are you referring to?
no ones going to remember rex, but pyra, mythra and nia will be 'remembered' for a long time
kek literally noone gives a shit about the xc2 characters, besides Nia for dubgays because she sounds like a grandma
Garbage story and capeshit villains, it doesn't deserve to sell more honestly.
all these people saying there's no cute girls clearly know nothing of the game
What makes people on Ganker seeth so much about 3?
If that was the case why aren't there constant threads about it rather than none because it's been forgotten.
The only people who made 2 threads were fanart spammers and the japanese "humor" guy.
>XC3 sells 1.81 million copies in 7 months
>XC2 sells 1.73 in 13 months (March 2019)
>this is somehow bad
you people are mentally ill

Post pantsushots
Endless tribalism is something that will always follow this franchise I guess. Well as long as Nintendo allows them to continue making shit I guess Im fine. 2 is my favorite mainline so if they go full coom then I’ll be there day 1. If they make something like 3 I’ll also buy it since I also loved that.
What I really want is another X but I gave up on that
Threads can be shit for as long as they want post-release of a xeno game, the first few weeks are always fun and enjoyable so I don't care.
Mia best girl
There has some good ones here and there, when I saw “Go Shania yourself” it did bust out laughing in the middle of my shift so I count that as a good one.
>What I really want is another X but I gave up on that
The wind blows hard in December... 2025
Yeah the whole 2 vs 3 thing reeks of discord organized shitposters who don't care about the series at all and just come to Ganker to shit up discussion about it.
Don't give up hope for X2 anon, believe in Takahshi.
It's literally just snoys
This is worse than the Switch vs PS5 thread.
How can shitposters be this pathetic?
This is how snoys try coping with the switch officially outselling the ps4
what about 3 makes people so mad they come on to Ganker to lie about its sales, since it is selling faster than XC2 did at the same point in its life?
Falseflagging Snoys
Would make sense. They must be upset Switch just passed PS4 lifetime sales 4 years quicker.
It's the same guy that was constantly posting about the XC2 dance webm and shitting threads up then, he's been doing this for years now.
What is up with people making their entire identity on Ganker based around shitting on 1 specific series?
>Xenoblade has its own Barry
we need one of those gays who always claim to be super rich to pull a Jay and Silent Bob and hunt these frickers down IRL (in Minecraft)
It's funny how Eric went from spamming Japanese Humor threads to BROS THEY TOOK AWAY OUR breasts threads instantly.
Literally zero actual opinions, he just compulsively shitposts about the latest Nintendo game.
homosexual ass translation, Nintendo PLEASE
IM THE GIRL WITH THE GALL
I like her but her shitty swimsuit stopped me from buying DLC. Gonna wait to see how sexy the expansion will be.
I am legitimately puzzled as to what costumes we will get. Like swimsuits is always the big easy one but now I have no idea what they could do.
Options are bigger if they don’t group theme them but I don’t think they will do that.
I swapped her out of my party after hearing this shit for so long
You can't take her out of the party
Yea I'm moronic I guess I just muted my audio after a few hours.
Xeno 2 was enough of a downgrade to make me cautious, and its shitty localization made me want to wait and see. And what did we get? Brown Joker, brunette Melia. Worse music. Pronoun bullshit.
Didn't read the thread, are 2gays mentally unhinged shitposters mindbroken?
yeah we hate Xenoblade 3 and all of us are virgins too
Why would they be? They won. Their predictions were right. 3 fell off a cliff just like DE. But at least DE had the excuse of being a remaster of an old game. 3 being comparable to a remaster of Shulk's adventures means it might very well be the most unsuccessful Xenoblade alongside X.
>schizo babbles
I'll take that as a yes.
Funny no one talks about how good the story and gameplay is in 3. Only thing people talk about is how characters in 2 fricked and had kids. Literally just that.
The XC3 story came out at a bad time when wars become a good thing again, so the message is kind of lost on people.
Same as people only posting fanart of Pyra and Mythra after 2.
But I did buy 3; I think it came out at a bad time as there were a bunch of other "good" games out at that time
Guys...can you...toss *cough* some of those 2 million...sales *hack* my way..?
we....have big hips....bouncing tiddies....a good story....*wheeze* please....I don't wanna die....
Should've released on Switch, bro
>Takahashi is lying, trust ME bro I counted the shipments myself
lmao fricking lunatic
post the webm you know the one
Please....just...like...10k....of your sales....
Ignoring the obvious baiting, the only thing I see here is that Xenoblade 4 is a given. Today is a good day.
Maybe we will get that X-port down the line. It'll be censored to hell but hey, I won't care if I get it for free.
Eh even if it's censored there's a good chance you can just do some model editing using the textures from X' original release
"Because it amuses me" never fails to get a chuckle out of me
homie just straight up let the whole game happen because he thought it'd be good TV
The game wasn't bad, not gonna lie.
But it was just so mediocre. Apart from the soundtrack it just seemed like a downgrade in all regards.
Final dungeon walking corridor was insulting.
And it was clear they tried to appeal to more people. Didnt sit well with alot of people.
Most lewd outfit is tight jeans and they still take it away after 1h lol
They hid the e-girls and skintight mechsuit behind an endgame sidequest, kind of based, like a cry for help.
2gays are pretending to like e-girls now?
2 has multiple e-girl blades
not really
2 is a game for cowtitgays. I can't even think of any e-girls from 2
Not really what? 2 has e-girl blades and there are e-girl gays who like them.
That electrical e-girl and ICE e-girl too. Nia is sexies girl and she is flat. Not e-girl but sexy.
>Now
Yes?
Always liked fanservice and I need more.
e-girlgays and /ss/gays are incompatible. Stop being a fencesitter.
arse
Xenoblade 3 is censored shit with a Black why would I buy that. Xenoblade series needs a revamp it's boring as frick.
I meant gameplay specifically. X2 got everything right but gameplay.
2 doesn't have a good story. People only delude themself into thinking that because the game has a good finale.
https://twitter.com/ishaansahdev/status/1622885745244663808
3gays are already coping and saying that ACKSHUALLY IT FAILED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T MOVE AWAY FROM 2 ENOUGH. IT NEEDED TO BE EVEN LESS LIKE THEIR MOST SUCCESSFUL GAME
This is what he wants to see in Xenoblade?!
Lady is absolutely hotter than any of the overdesigned anime trash in Xenoblade 2, so I'd take it.
The series could never recover after the dunkey video
Because it was cringe and pozzed. I'm not paying for Nintendo's foray into homosexualry.
I did buy it and put 100+ hours into it. But it wasn't as good as 2, or even X
Xenoblade 2 is best game and most sold in series. X3 gays can cope with their fastest selling pasta but it doesn't matter.
200 posts of 2troons seething out of control that 3 is a better game by literally every single metric
Except the metrics that are set in reality and not in born from your head that's having a meltdown over it.
>The actual sell-through is 1.5 million, everything else is just copies on shelves
Holy shit, didn't even notice this
Forget about 2, it has sold less than DE so far
I hope the Black folk and trannies were worth it
They get investment money to make up for any loss in sales.
Eric, that's not how ESG shit worked even if it WAS profitable, which it isn't.
Fricking moron.
Erictroony, nobody believes your snoy falseflag
isn't this a good sign considering they're a small studio and spent less years making each game than average big studios?, they also get commission work from Nintendo.
And sequels on the same console almost always sell less.
Funny how tlou 2 or gow ragnarok are not a flops despite a 50 percent drop in sales
I didn't like the character designs. the combat is also convoluted dogshit with the worst UI ever. i've already had enough after xenoblade 2
>tendo makes shitty gacha for literal children on mobile
>completely ignores steam
is it because steam is communist?
wrong thread or a stroke?
Did you expect logic from a snoy?
holy moron, is xenoblade & other tendie shit on steam? the platform they could make millions on easily? no? fricking evolve you goddamned braindead plankton piece of shit
lmao were you born yesterday? nintendo will never, ever release their own 1st party games on a competitors platform
>muh eric
So obvious you morons don't even care about Xeno, just muh daddy nintendo
3 deserves to fail for being bland inoffensive slop clearly designed to appeal to westoids, maybe they'll remember to put some soul in their next game
I accept your concession, Eric 😉
>Xenoblade 2 sells 2 million in 4 years
>Xenoblade 3 sells 2 million in one
>somehow 3 is a flop but 2 wasn't
>2m in one
It's not even halfway there, it needs to sell 500k more and 300k of those are dead in shops waiting to be sold since September by reports.
>1.8 million isn't even halfway to 2 million
If you know how to read and the difference between "sold" and "shipped", yep.
>uh, t-t-t-those numbers are heckin f-f-f-f-fake
No, you're just purposefully using sold when it says "shipped" which are two different things.
Eric, being this blatantly moronic only works in snoy spaces
not seeing the word shipped anywhere bud
>Splatoon 3 10 million
did that anon ever eat that bag of dicks and crow?
Maybe read the official sources?
> It's not even halfway there
I’m going to assume math wasn’t your strong suit since even if we go by 1.5 million it is literally 3/4s of the way to 2 million. The extra 300k we don’t know the state WW either since Nintendo shipped out an extra 100k in between September and December. Not saying it sold out completely but they could easily ship atleast 200k more. It is doubtful that it will completely stop selling since it will be featured by Nintendo throughout the year. When the white papers come out we will know I guess.
>Not saying it sold out completely but they could easily ship atleast 200k more.
If it can only sell 90k during a holiday how can it sell 500k outside of it? There's nothing that's going to be a pull for people to buy the game.
The word of mouth is non existant or bad, the DLCs are terrible and we have better games overshadowing it.
They shipped an extra 90k by December. We legitimately have no idea how much was sold before then until we get a full breakdown. It’s deficit is about on par with the other games on the list
Yeah and all reports say the game is overstocked and it caused them to panic and send less copies of Engage. That says a lot about their idea of XC3 300k stock in general, its simply not going to sell.
Then all their games overstocked because several were at that deficit even the popular ones. Pokémon has 200k on the shelf and Splatoon and Switch Sports have like 600k. Yea those games are way better but outside of Pokémon none million sellers that we know of for this year didn’t have a deficit of around Xenoblade or larger. I’m not saying that this is extremely comparable but this is about the average for Nintendo from the looks of it.
Depends on the game. Mario football is clearly overstocked but the rest ARE selling, considering most of those werent in the previous FY while XC3 was.
It only shipped 90k more copies and randomly so considering barely anyone is buying it. Generally you ship when there's a 100k or so stock, not when you have 200k+
Honestly, what's even the point of this posting of yours? It achieves nothing but make you look dumber
But here if you want to circlejerk around "fast selling ( & shipping )" data:
XBC2
>12/2017 1.06
>03/2018 1.31
>06/2018 1.42
>09/2018 1.53
>03/2019 1.73
>12/2019 1.92
>12/2020 2.17
>12/2021 2.44
XBC3
>09/2022 1.72
>12/2022 1.81
Pray that the 90k gap doesnt get even shorter, because XC3 is never going to see that level of growth.
>XC3 was bad! Xenoblade should make a game like FE Engage instead! And a gacha too!
This guy is just trolling right?
That is just OP again
XC2 had gacha too
I swear the thread is full of either drooling idiots or baiting morons, i cant even tell anymore which is which.
shouldn't have censored it
xenoblade 2 sold way more than xenoblade 1 for a reason
also same with nier automata btw
square enix is obsessing with "global products" and "ethics department" even though they only game that sold nicely in the past decade was nier automata and they even saw how many people were horny for her that they prostituted her to literally every fricking game possible, she has more crossovers than any other videogame character ever made lol
Definitive sold 1.5, 2 sold 1.7, and noe 3 is over 2m. I only see growth
>and noe 3 is over 2m
>moron cant even count OR spell
I did buy it but I can see why others didn't. The game was mid.
Story just shits itself after Ch5 when they randomly resurrect a dead character.
The environments are the worst in any Xeno game.
Character designs are ugly. There's zero booba in the game.
The ending is a complete wet fart after the phenomenal finale of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
It doesn't even have the freeform world exploration and design of X to fall back on.
It's the worst Xeno game by far and consumers knew it.
>Mid
>Booba
>Consumers
Frick off zoomer
Yes keep defending slop, your franchise definitely won't die if they keep releasing mediocre crap.
XBC3 basically burned all the goodwill these homosexual devs had since XBC1. Their next game won't get a free pass anymore.
How does that compare to 2?
Its about the same. Think it sold better in less time even, but you cant shitpost and attack the game like that, so you invent your own narrative
>xenoblade 3 sold 1.81 million in 7 months
neat
actually, this is only up to december 2022
so it sold 1.81 million in 5 months
*shipped
It sold 1.5m see
The rest are copies that are glued to the shelf of the store that'll put them away soon.
Nah, it sold 1.81 million.
Lay off the cope if you cant even read nor understand simple concepts. Makes you morons looks atleast less pathetic than this amount of moronic cope all over the thread.
It sold 1.81 million in less than a year, and has nearly outsold what Xenoblade 2 has sold in 3.
You're just some assmad snoy who hates seeing Nintendo being successful. Just close the thread and walk away. Maybe play some video games.
It sold 1.5m, it shipped 1.81m in total.
Those 300k copies are rotting in stores where nobody is buying them.
Grow some balls and accept reality instead of deflecting on your strawmans. This "fastest selling" cope got old when your "holiday boost" turned out to be non existant.
Just walk away kid. Big bad nintendo can't hurt you.
Erictroony, seems like you're not dealing with the PS4 being outsold well at all 😉
It's funny because if some snoyboy unironically used the fastest selling argument he would be rightfully laughed at
If the time frame differences are THAT large, how else would you?
Otherwise, snoys are just crying that a game didn't outsell its predecessor's 5 year sales in one month.
>if some snoyboy unironically used the fastest selling argument he would be rightfully laughed at
What now?
Wasn't it snoys that "laughed" at the Switch being the fastest selling compared to the PS4?
Yes, they hate it because it destroyed their pathetic copes
Erictroony, why are you seething so hard?
I'm being on topic and discussing while you're calling me "erictroony" while I have no idea what the frick you're even on about.
Are you someone that spends his time in those threads periodically and formed a strawmen out of some people posting? Because I havent posted in Ganker for months.
>Because I havent posted in Ganker for months.
Now this is some real cope.
Okay, last (You) I guess I dont really see the point of this but keep being deranged if it helps your image as a xenoblade 3 supporter somehow...
Erictroony, I accept your troonycession 😉
Erictroony, this cope isn't working.
Xc3 is much closer to 2 than tlou2 is to 1, btw 😉
Just change the combat of Xenoblade to action rpg and it will 300k more,see tales of Arise.
Or add dating elements and you will get another 200k sales
Holy shit this thread is a fricking piece of shit and everyone should just fricking die.
Frick Takahashi for abandoning XBX for the Final Fantasy audience he's been courting now.
Hope the next game flops so hard Nintendo is forced to cancel this shit series.
What's up with all this falseflagging and misleading bullshit?
Just what is it about Xenoblade games being successful that makes you autists seethe so much?
I just want a fanservice filled (in both sense) Xenoblade Engage.
unlike FE, Xenoblade still has some dignity
>Xenoblade still has some dignity
>Xenoblade still has some dignity
neither of these even come close to having a character yell BLADE ENGAGE and then summon Shulk from a ring to help them fight
game was great, lots of shit to do and the sidequests were almost all fantastic
the world in general kind of sucked though, the characters in them were all pretty good but when you intentionally mash two world together you don't really get the best areas
far from bad, miles better than most other games, but worse than previous in a few ways
that'd be funny, but you just have real actual shulk help you anyway
>worse than previous in a few ways
That's true for every Xenoblade game. Each one has it's strengths and weaknesses.
>neither of these even come close to having a character yell BLADE ENGAGE and then summon Shulk from a ring to help them fight
Yeah man Sentai shit like the Engage mechanic would never work in the Xeno series, Xenoblade would never include a system where two characters GATTAI like that... oh wait.
Interlinking rocked, they added frickin devil triggers to an rpg
Too based for the Xenocringe community unfortunately
If the fanservice was good then yea but I legitimately don’t like how the fanservice (characters) is done in Engage. The only neat thing is for me is maps, I’m not a fan of how the characters were handled. I actually fricking hate the other fanservice because they gave me options I can use.
but i did buy it and i stopped giving a shit so just turned on auto battle until the end
>generic designs
>boring story
Xenoblade 2 had good waifus at least
>characters design censored to appeal to 'western sensibilities'
>Tales of Arise tier shoujo romance
>MC is boring as shit
>hotest girl in the game was already taken by some flaming homosexual
>gameplay and level design was nothing to write home about
It was disappointing to say the least. I hope in the future they don't try to make a game for Twitter again.
Ah, Erictroony.
this is your new attempt after being bullied in the other thread? 😉
You okay there, mate?
>Abandons one threads to come back and cry here
Kek, why are you so transparent, Eric?
unironically
who is eric?
Nobody knows, there's just a deranged poster in every nintendo thread who keeps spamming like this at everyone that doesnt like a nintendo game.
I've just learned to ignore it, it doesnt even feel human anymore.
A famous mentally ill Sony fanboy that got "famous" in famitsu sales threads.
Is now focusing on coping about Xenoblade after Nintendo announced that the switch outsold the ps4
How do we even know xeno2 and DE's lifetime sales? I can't find a source anywhere.
There's a yearly report about it from CESA every August, it only lists sales unlike fiscal year reports who show sales ( 1,5m ) and shipments the total sum of copies sold and copies that are in shops not yet sold ( 1,81m )
1. I won't buy a Switch.
2. The Switch emulator is solid enough I get a better experience emulating.
3. It's not a great game and only stands out in an age of garbage RPGs so RPG players either have to pick between it or whatever trash Fatlus or Squeenix is pushing like Bravely Default.
>not a new IP
Actually both of those posts are new IPs, moron
>actually trying this
Eric, this is just pathetic.
If you can't even read the number in parentheses you're honestly too moronic for me to bother talking to. There are currently 114 IPs ITT, the ones you quoted were the 111th and 112th, while the 113th was the one after your completely moronic post and the 114th is this one
It's mentally deranged, it's pointless to try and reason with it
Erictroony, your COPE isn't working.
I started playing the leak early but I got so bored with it that I dropped it, around half way through would be my guess. There were a lot of little things which bothered me and some major ones too. The world was worse and less interesting than I expected, the characters all felt pretty bland with their nigh-identical child soldier backgrounds and the design decision to completely disable class unlocks if you're overleveled while at the same time making sidequests overlevel you to like double the intended value was profoundly moronic.
I ended up playing a game where I could no longer unlock classes, the combat was trivially easy and the story, characters or world were nowhere close to strong enough to make me push through. Maybe I'll beat it one day and if I do I'll grab a physical copy, but it's been kind of disappointing to me.
XB2 was so bad it killed any interest in the franchise
Erictroony, did you really think this would work?
It has Fire Emblem Engage syndrome where if you make the story and characters as bland and annoying as possible nobody gives a shit and it's immediately memory holed
>Ring Fit adventure outsold GoW Ragnarok
Why is nobody talking about this?
Because it's the thread for Xenoblade 3 underperforming? Make one about it and see.
This is an erictroony thread, so it is fair game.
So why did nu-gow flop so unbelievably hard?
The first Xenoblade game I genuinely disliked. Didn't care for the characters and sometimes even hated them, they took out all the fun they put in 2 from character designs to personality it just takes itself way too fricking seriously, there's a "non binary", the battle system is too simple, the story is just outright trash and so are the boring antagonists. Nintendo needs to get that localization department under control because part of that is their fault.
>not a new IP
Kek
What the frick are you even talking about?
what happened to shaniagay from the release threads? did he kill himself after xenoblade 3 flopped?
I still think she's an okay character trapped in a mediocre game
>flopped
So nu-Gow, tlou2 and the PS5 are hyper flops then?
Because they all did a MUCH lower percentage of their predecessor than XC3.
Most people from those threads moved on after FE released by the looks of it, even in /vg/ its pretty much dead.
A shame that 3 couldnt keep up 2 lively legacy altough it mostly was also thanks to that shitposter who's gone too.
Is Xgay gone though?
I bet half the posts complaining about the harem ending are him.
Why is erictroony so desperate?
>Pokemon Scarlet / Pokemon Violet – 20.61 million
wow, gamers sure did a great job canceling this game
no one love xeno3
Erictroony, your COPE isn't working.
>a more than five year old game sold more copies than a ten month old game
Wow, stop the presses. I can’t wait to deal with censorship shitposters peddling the “flop” narrative for the next two months because of this.
I wish this series hadn’t attracted such a fervent group of dedicated shitposters, it’s extremely tiresome at this point. I love this series with all my heart, and the endless tribalism just muddies the water and ruins the fun any time I want to discuss it.
>I love this series with all my heart
why? X is the only good game in the series and it's looking more and more like it was a fluke
I disagree with your notion that X is the only good one, but alas, Xeno is a franchise I got into at a fairly low point in my life. It helped me through a lot of difficulties I was having, and beyond that, is one of the few series that consistently pretty much everything I look for in a video game.
Every entry feels like a true passion project from Monolith, even if they’re rough around the edges, and in a gaming landscape filled with empty shovelware, I can’t help but be drawn to that.
well fair enough if you like it, I thought they struck gold with XBX so every new title has just been a disappointment for me
>tribalism
fake tribalism.
It's just snoys + Xtroony falseflagging hard, you can easily tell they are just copying their fake "complaints" from one another.
This. We also had multiple threads with like 5 shitposter replying and falseflagging to each other.
>I wish this series hadn’t attracted such a fervent group of dedicated shitposters
Its honestly why i stopped visiting these threads. It always devolves into shitflinging. Youd think theyd get tired after a while, but no, the shitposting is even worse now, than it was around xeno 3 release
Ganker has gotten worse in general, there is barely any actual game discussion because snoys have gotten THAT bad and mods will never ban their own.
samegay schzo, very sad!
I skim for art or screenshots
I also love the series and that's why I'm not willing to tolerate mediocre experiments like 3
I found 3 to be an extremely well-rounded experience when all is said and done, with (in my opinion) some of the most fleshed out characters in the series, strongest emotional beats, and explored themes in the entire series.
XC3 definitely isn’t a perfect game, and while it rises above its predecessors in a lot of ways, it’s weaker than them in other aspects as well, the same can be said for any prior entry. That’s part of what I love about Xeno if I’m being honest; every game is great in their own right, and their differences make it easy to appreciate each one in a unique way.
It’s certainly a different direction for Xenoblade, but then again, every game is different from the last, since Monolith treats the series as a pseudo-anothology and simply uses the monicker as an umbrella title.
It has extremely boring combat that doesn't even feel thought out (normal combat, ouroboros and chain attacks are mostly disconnected), boring soulless world and a shit plot. Its "fleshed out" characters are worse rehashes of characters Monolith made in the past (Fei is worse Noah, Mio is worse Elly). Your whole party is made up of teenagers and 0 adults, a new low for Xeno. And the less we talk about the antagonists, the better.
I can only hope the expansion and future games are better than this. What a disappointment this was.
*Noah is worse Fei
The combat is pretty fun if you completely ignore Chain Attacks. Classes like Martial Artist flow really nicely.
Chain Attacks are by far the worst they've ever been tho. Minute long cutscenes that have zero player agency.
I can understand not liking the combat. I enjoyed it, albeit not as much as 2s, but found the level of customization to be a lot of fun to play around with compared to the previous numbered titles. It’s not X levels, but it’s still a nice improvement.
Conceptually and execution wise, I believe Aionios is one of the strongest Monolith has put together simply because of how well it embodies the themes of the game. The idea of a bastardized world destroying itself to preserve its own existence was immediately intriguing to me, even if it didn’t share the same grandeur as 1, or the culture of 2. It’s a somber place, with pockets of life and persisting culture scattered throughout despite the circumstance, and I feel as though that is a much better approach for 3 than if they were to make a world one would truly want to live in like the Bionis or Alrest. One of my favorite parts about the game was the contrast between night and day; the daytime showed how ruined the landscape truly was, how many scars the war had left on the worlds that comprised Aionios, while at night, the beauty of them had a chance to poke through and breathe in the brief periods between wartime.
I won’t disagree that Noah and Mio are directly influenced by Fei and Elly, but at the same time, I don’t think it’s fair to label them as rehashes either. As many similarities as they share, both pairs go through struggles and experiences that ultimately separate them quite a bit in my eyes. I’m not sure who the other characters would be rehashes of beyond Lanz fulfilling the same archetype as Reyn (but far more realized). Dunno why you’re so hung up on the adults thing, if anything, XC3 is one of the few games where that kind of party composition is justified. Even then, you can still recruit characters like Monica, Triton, Nia, and Melia who can fulfill that role nicely.
I would address Moebius, but I hit the character limit.
>but found the level of customization to be a lot of fun to play around with compared to the previous numbered titles
NTA but the combat in 3 doesn't have the endgame content to truly shine. Like 5 or so superbosses just doesn't cut it and challenge mode doesn't cut it. A shame because once you figure out how to combine buffs, combos and character switching the combat becomes incredibly fluid and you can forsake the repetitive chain attacks.
I hope the DLC adds more.
That’s a point I can agree with. Hopefully the next wave of DLC introduces some better challenge battles more akin to the better stuff in 2’s challenge mode.
We already saw the DLCs, it's just meaningless cashgrab to try and get back the fanbase they alienated with those tame designs.
The big DLC has a shit release window so I doubt it has a chance at doing anything, shouldnt have moved it so far away from the game release
>not a new IP and meaningless seething
Kek
Hmmm?
>Erictroony thinks anybody is falling for that
Kek
Sorry for having an opinion, I will hopefully remember next time.
The teaser image for Wave 3 teased more challenge battles, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. XC2 did swimsuit DLC as well, I don’t think there’s any more reasoning behind it other than it being an expectation to include such things now.
My best guess for why it’s taking longer is because of the base game being moved forward on the release lineup by a couple of months last year
Last DLC wave was just soulless xenoblade 2 nostalgiabait
What does that have to do with what I said? You’re just looking for reasons to be upset at this point
>people "complaining" about Xenoblade can't keep their "argument" straight
Wow, almost like there is a pattern to that.
You said you weren't sure what he was talking about, he was talking about how the DLC so far is just pointless references to 2 instead of making the game actually good, because so far it has been a gigantic nothingburger, comparing it to 2's DLC almost feels like a joke
His complaints seemed more along the lines of someone who was upset with the change in tonal direction between 2 and 3. Regardless, while the DLC hasn’t been as much of a blowout as 2’s, I don’t think it’s fair to draw any conclusions about it yet.
There’s still two more waves left, one of which is an entire DLC campaign that will more than likely be the justification for the price tag. It’s important to remember that 2 wasn’t a complete game at launch, and a lot of the DLC/Free Update content was a holdover from development. 3, on the other hand, is a much more fully realized game. It’s not really an apples to apples comparison.
NTA, I'm the original you replied to.
The reason why I said it was soulless cashgrab is because of what he said.
They created a faux Poppi and with the new DLC they're going with this zoomer girlblade which absolutely scream of "we want the 2 audience back, please come back" and it just feels stupid to do to me.
Yes 2 wasnt complete at launch by any mean, but at this point I'd say it worked more for it than against it since a complete game like 3 just passed so under the radar it hurts as someone who saw potential in this series with 2.
I can understand why you’d feel that way. I suppose it just depends on why you believe they went the direction they did with wave 2.
I’m of the belief that they’re treating the DLC more as light fanservice (at least until the story release), since there isn’t a whole lot of critical features and alterations that need to be made. I don’t think it’s any sort of attempt to win back anyone, more so to simply appeal to existing fans and give them more of what they like.
That being said, I do hope wave 3 and 4 are better, since I felt like 2 was a bit too light in content.
It's more of a side effect of the poor sales, if the game had actually popped off like 2 ( 200k or so post release ) they could've done away with this but as of now it just feels like a cashgrab.
Engage is being smart with DLCs for example, appealing to different characters fanbases without trying to just take away the "anniversary" feeling of the game.
In less time than XC3 they'll get Veronica, Hector, Camilla, Soren and Chrom + the big DLC and they have a manga that could keep the momentum going in Japan.
I just dont see this with XC3, it feels like a side project from a small dev team for wave 2-3 that goes nowhere.
>It's more of a side effect of the poor sales
Eric, stop trying this one
I don’t really see why you keep going back to the cash grab angle when there is more than enough room to view the intentions behind the expansion pass as positive. The games sales aren’t even poor, the game has still sold nearly two million copies in its first eight months, we’ll and above where the franchise was during 1 and X’s time. Sure, it may not reach the same numbers as 2, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a poor release.
>started with X
>loved it
>then tried 1
>loved it as well
>then tried 2
>still my favorite game of all time
>play 3
>huge disappointment and made me distance myself from the series
What a shit game, and to think I used to say Xenoblade was my favorite game franchise
Erictroony, this isn't working
>not a new IP
Because snoys are absolutely desperate for any "win" in their eyes, so they got obsessed with Xenoblade.
I have no idea who your boogeyman is but that was clearly a new IP, blind anon
Erictroony, you know we all know your israeli tricks by now, right?
Could there be a more obvious case of samehomosexualry
Jesus Christ at least try to video yourself to some extent
Why does this thread have gaps when "people" start seething about XC3 in other threads?
Shouldn't be the case if all of the people who claim to not be Erictroony actually aren't...
Do we have to post proof of our Nintendo games we own now if we wanna say something not positive about XB3? What the frick
>Erictroony SEETHING that nobody falls for its israeli tricks
Kek
Here's the bonus stuff I got from preordering Bayo 3 and FE Engage on the MyNintendo store you falseflagging moron.
Based, but it wont stop, it's basically a bot. Atleast you proved that you have more backbone than it does spamming the same shit over and over.
don't know if you're aware but there's a report option for spamming/flooding lol
xenoblade 3 is selling faster than xeno 2. Now we hope it has the same legs so it can reach 2.5 mil
the thing is xeno 3 is already out of gas
>tendie games not selling anymore
wouldnt be surprised if the new zelda doesnt even come close to BOTWs sales
>Erictroony SEETHING
Kek
i literally just came in this thread and im already being called eric
cant wait till im proven right and everyone who doesnt suck off ToTK is your eric booogeyman
It's just having a meltdown, ignore it.
I accept your troonycession 😉
Looked even worse than the previous three. Sorry.
Ugh, I can't believe that the game plus merchandising only pulled in a pathetic $100million for a giant fricking corporation that doesn't give a frick about me :/
You gotta love how XC2 gays physically can't talk about their game without posting a picture some brain dead big tittied bore of a character and going "SHE'S MUH WAIF"
That shit game is like 50 shades of grey of RPGs
Eric, this isn't working either.
xenoblade was never good
just stick to the porn
Xenoblade 2 is better
How come Bayonetta doesn't get this much shitposting? It sold less than XC3
Snoys just targeted one game, don't look for logic.
What do you mean? I felt like it was relatively comparable when taking into account the size of the respective franchises. Also both were a perfect storm of actual shitposters and disgruntled fans, moreso for Bayo 3 though.
>both were a perfect storm of actual shitposters and disgruntled fans
Is the Bayo fanbase as autistic as Xeno's? Do they have someone autistic enough to write a 63000 word analysis on the franchise then proceed to delete all of it? https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=54768.0
Bayonetta "fans" actually believed that bayonetta is one of the most iconic and best seeling video games of all times during the moronic voice actor thing.
>Why does XC3 get only shitposting
Let's see
>Pre Release: "This game looks better than XC2, it's going to sell more and be better!"
>Release Date: "Huh, the game is actually quite tepid in the first chapters and the ending sucks... but the characters are way better! Sales will speak for us, above 2m, even 8m if possible!"
>First QY sales drop, it's like 200-400k above XC2 initial sales and nowhere close expected preditions and projections ( I dont remember and dont care )
>"HAH ITS SELLING FASTER, THAT'LL SHOW THEM, DISREGARD THAT IT DIDNT DO AS I EXPECTED THO!!"
>"It'll have legs and sell more during the holiday and go beyond 2M!"
>Current day, new FY
>Game is selling like shit, holiday boost didnt happen and its clear there's no legs to stand on ( XC2 still had 3 digits post release sales at this point )
>"I-It's still selling faster, you'll see next time!!!" + bot spammer with "eric bla bla"
>*You're here*
Unironically if people just stopped being this delusional over an underperforming game it'd have less shitposting but all it amounts to is "come next time to see us meltdown again" so people keep coming back for the entertainment.
>Erictroony still SEETHING
Kek.
So, people with actual numerical proof that the game is selling better than the previous ones point out things extremely obvious to you and you get mad about it, and that's why you keep shitposting every single day about this game?
A lot of assumptions and accusations in that post, yet you fail to address that "selling faster" != "selling better". If XC3 takes 8 years to reach XC2 sales with the current pace being stable, it simply will neve achieve it because it's just bound to get worse, not better.
It doesnt take a data analyst to see that if you jump higher but then fall faster you're still sinking to the bottom and never reaching your competitor's peak. But again, proving me right since 1,5m sales vs 2,44m is not looking anywhere near good for it.
Your post is full of assumptions too, is it not? You say that the game is already falling in sales by comparing the lifetimes sales of 2 reported back in 2021, 4 years after the game's release, when XC3 has only been out for 6 months. If you truly are looking at this in a more "analytical" way then we would have to wait another 3 years and compare the number then.
You made this thread though.
So why are you complaining?
Oh? Turns out I'm the shitposter who wants to talk about a game he hates for no reason at all, huh? Silly me.
Eric, why even try?
No I'm actually comparing it to XC2 sales post release too, it's like 20-30k below it on track for now.
By
3 months after release, XC2 sold more 150k copies
7 months after release, XC2 sold more 110k copies
10 months after release, XC2 sold more 110k copies
Then it started steamrolling hard, 200k into 190k ecc.
Instead we have XC3,
3 months after release, XC3 sold more 90k copies, putting it -60k already
It's delusional to think it goes up, so it's just going to be wider and wider until it's impossible for it to catch up considering XC2 doesnt stop selling and still does a solid 300k per year. Those "stats" good enough on why the "fastest selling" narrative is moronic? No legs = not worthy to even consider
Ah my bad, *250k for XC2 first three months it's even worse, it's -160k already.
By that logic, ragnacuck, the PS5 and tlou2 are the biggest flops ever.
Both in numbers and percentage, btw
Correct, but I dont really care to argue about playstation shit since its off topic
Nah, this is a snoy thread
You're the only one talking about it, either you're a falseflagger or you're purposefully moronic. To me its both since ctrl f "eric" shows a clear sign of mental deficiency on your part.
There's no "Eric" in here, there's just people who liked or disliked a xenoblade game. Now go take your meds.
Just report the schizo.
Because XC2 fans are seething that they like the worst, least popular, game in the series and they're the only ones degenerate enough to post nonstop on Ganker
>least popular
it is the most popular xeno game: people, randoms and normies know, at least, the waifus.
people is fan even if they don't play it, exactly as persona 5
I want to marry MIO
I want to stay with her forever in the endless now!
Go away, N
I just want to be able to delevel myself... it isn't game breaking but they really need to work on stopping the player punishing himself from exploring / enjoying combat / doing sidequest, dropped the game on chapter 4, a google search shows that plenty of people start having the same problem around that same part.
Its a post game feature.
I know, but what's the even the point by then, they know they have that problem, yet refused to added to the first run, I'm not enel, I'm not going to play that game several time until I finally enjoy it completely.
>enel
Xtroony is back, it seems.
i didnt buy it because it looked stupid as hell. each game being interconnected through some ascendant stupid bullshit managed to make it worse than Kingdom Hearts in my eyes
they should have just gone the FF route and made each game totally different in all but shared names and concepts, without connecting their stories
>not new IPs
Kek
well yeah, this was my last post
fricking schizo.
I just named him as a hyperbole example, sorry that it triggers ptsd on some, anyways, it is dumb that my first run can't be fully appreciated because they can't be bothered to add expert mode from the beginning.
The connections between the games are extremely simple compared to stuff like kingdom hearts. Tl;dr a man used a magical object to create a new universe, leaving the current one in ruin. Eventually, the two resulting universes mashed together. That’s it
yeah and its fricking stupid and worthless. at least KH doesn't pretend that it's not one big story arc
>i clapped when i heard shulk during the XC2 finale!!!!!
>haha XC3 is waifu wars!!!
I’m execution it adds to the themes of each game quite a bit, especially in how 2 handles Klaus (the man who started everything). XC2 is a game about repentance for past sins and using the knowledge of the past to forge a better future; to have the central figure of the game be the remorseful other half of the man who was depicted as a cruel maniac was a really cool direction to take, and helped to better illustrate the thematic dichotomy between XC1 and XC2 while tying them together narratively
Did you play 2?

Why are snoys seething so hard about Xenoblade?
Does it remind them of all the games sony used to have and killed?
Have no clue, thought they would be playing the greatest JRPG PlayStation 5 has to offer atm to even care about the Xenoblade series.
Monolithsoft going to keep making new Xenoblade games regardless of outcome so no idea why they getting so worked up over it.
>game flops
>"i-if you make fun of it, you're le seething!!"
Flopped less than tlou2 and gow ragnacuck 😉
They're all shit
In what possible metric? Please educate me
the metric you are using, comparitive sales to the predecessor.
Tlou2 sold less than half of 1, which is MUCH worse than XC3 compared to 2.
Erictroony, the COPE is dying...
>Why didn't you buy the game, Anon?
It looks boring.
>"please bite my consolewar bait!!"
BASED MARIO STRIKERS SOCCER GAME DABBING ON XENOBLADE
Tbh Mario Strikers has the same issue.
2,4k shippings but 1,9 sales. Nothing new since I always see Mario overstocked but a similar situation.
I guess Mario DOES sell compared to xc3 tho.
>Mario FIFA outsold epic conclusion to long awaited JRPG series
LMAO
Arlo won. Dunkey won. These games aren't even popular, they don't sell, and they're a waste of resources. We would have gotten ToTK last year without Xenoblade 3. It's stupid weeb pandering garbage.
Breath of the Wild wouldn’t even exist without Xenoblade, moron. Monolith is the sole reason why that game’s open world is as good as it is
BotW was inspired by Nintendo devs playing Assassin's Creed and Minecraft moron
Never said anything about inspiration, mate. Monolith Soft, the people who make Xenoblade, are the developers behind Breath of the Wild’s open world. They were specifically contracted because of their experience creating large, detailed environments. Beyond them, Nintendo had virtually zero experience with that kind of design, and the game likely would not have been made the way it was without Monolith’s expertise
>weeb pandering
Seeing your standards of "weeb" nope its not. It's pandering to the crowd of people who think anime should be westernized, which you might find yourself close to.
If it did pander, we wouldnt be here having this thread discussing its underperformance
No normal vidya player gives a shit about the amount of cleavage or whatever shit you people whined about. We just see that the game looks boring/is only for a niche audience who only care about the characters and move on.
Well no, clearly people do otherwise we wouldnt be here
>Erictroony posted it's shopped image again

Why is Eric like this?
Erictroony, this samegayging isn't helping you at all.
Is this your gimmick? Imitating your beloved acgay?

Why did they do this?
Why is erictroony so mentally ill?
Who the frick is Eric? Do XenobladeChads have a similar anon as Barry in final fantasy /kingdom hearts threads?
Time to brew a coffee, make a sandwich, and finish a couple more Ascension quests in Xenoblade 3 I think.
Shit blog
based game enjoyer
Comfy series, comfy developer, comfy Xeno finished off with a comfy coff and a comfy sandwich
I bought it. Can't do much more.
Snoy games are fricking garbage trash that doesn't do as well as the big Nintendo stuff. But I dunno how that is related to Xenoblade 3 being kinda middling?
Dude i like xenoblade but this series is no FF
All talk about fanservice and story and characters aside. I agree with you and I think it will never reach the level of peak FF if they don't fundamentally change the combat system.
Yes
Jrpgs are niche in general and only FF is abnormal enough to pull numbers like 5.5 mil units sold in 4 months like 7R did
It gets even harder for xenoblade when the franchise has mmo-like combat
