01./00. [NSW] Xenoblade Chronicles 3 # <RPG> (Nintendo) {2022.07.29} (¥7.980) - 112.728 / NEW <40-60%>
The game only sold around 40% of the initial shipment. This is pretty mediocre sales for the game and I'm play Japan didn't fell for the woke shit in the game
oh no...
Why are snoys like this?
How do you expect the fact that the game sold like shit given it's initial shipment? In comparison this is what Horizon Zero Dawn sold during its first week
02./00. [PS4] Horizon: Zero Dawn # <RPG> (Sony Interactive Entertainment) {2017.03.02} (¥6.900) - 109.739 / NEW <80-100%>
High attach rate always means legs. Horizon ended up selling 300K physical only. Low attach rate for Xenoblade 3 means it will have bad legs
>Best launch week for the series despite the collector's edition (over 40% of XB2 launch week numbers) not being tracked
>underperforms
What compels Snoys to act like this?
>Horizon ended up selling 300K physical only.
So did Xenoblade 2 despite having wore launch than Xeno 3 and Horizon.
And that's the reason behind higher shipment. Less shortages and reprints this time.
How are you going to cope when October comes, Nintendo releases their financial reports and it turns out Xeno 3 has sold 500k in Japan in 2 months? Are you going to keep spamming "Why did Xenoblade 3 flop?" threads like you've been doing with SMT V and Metroid Dread?
Not him, but I'm used to seeing shit games sell. It's not a big deal. I just move on to another game to play, I'm not a cultist who buys every entry in a series.
got proof that is the shipment %?
>Horizon: Zero Dawn # <RPG> (Sony Interactive Entertainment) {2017.03.02} (¥6.900) - 109.739 / NEW <80-100%>
I admittedly have no idea what japanese markets are like but I strongly doubt that Sony allows for there to be stores with anything less than two bins full of spare copies of their AAA releases.
Based
PS5 is a disaster, they have become more explosive.
These always have dumb japs hating on shit, regardless of quality.
This will be the best selling xenoblade game. Its been topping the e-shop charts. games are mostly sold digital.
You can't have it both ways where there can be games that don't sell well in Japan on competitor platforms that have proof they sell well digitally and getting shit on in threads like the Famitsu ones but when XC3 supposedly has the proof of doing the exact same thing, it's suddenly okay to not shit on it because now the shoe is on the other foot? Frick that, it still deserves a comeuppance because Nintendo and everyone in the West online overrated the franchise to the position it is in.
they don't have anything better to do. not like they have any games to play

Different games. Different strategies.
Keep crying snoy
Mobile game standards are completely different. Case in point, Sony owns Fate/Grand Order.
Mobilegays spend money and get what they want. Jrpggays get what they are given and defend the scraps.
To me it just seems like companies have decided to shift the majority of their lewd titles to mobile, where the "sex sells" philosophy ends up bringing in a lot more money than a niche lewd console game would. A $60 game that can take years to develop versus $900 for someone hitting the pity timer on a character in a gacha game isn't even comparable, and they can pump out multiple new characters every month.
So they give the console games that are more expensive to make and take longer to develop a more broad appeal by sanitizing them to get more normalgays to buy them like with Tales of Arise. Then to top things off, creating a lewd game drought can push gamers who want lewd anime girls towards mobile where they can start selling them individual characters for more than the price of an entire game all while running the game on a shoestring budget. Nearly every Japanese publisher has some mobile games they're trying to push, Tales of Luminaria hired a hentai artist to do the character designs and was released a month after Tales of Arise. Too bad that didn't work out for them and Luminaria shut down.
Tales of Arise isn't sanitized. I don't care if you don't like the game. It has hot characters, swimsuits,etc.
Nobody is shitting on Xenoblade 3 because it has heterosexual romance. If anything, Xenogays have proven they are love sick fricking losers who only care about romance. Every Xenoblade thread is either about Melia being cucked, Rex's Harem and now Mio (the most boring shit catgirl ever made)
Those swimsuits are locked behind a paid DLC pack (which also unlock some of the strongest skills in the game), your average player will never have to see them unless they go out of their to buy it themselves and many most likely are not going to even look at the DLC page to even know they exist. If you want the lewd outfits, you're paying up just like in a gacha game.
>Those swimsuits are locked behind a paid DLC pack
So? That's been normal for Tales for like 10 years now
>So? That's been normal for Tales for like 10 years now
It just seems a little unfair to compare a game that only got skimpy outfits in its DLC to a game whose outfit DLC has yet to be revealed
It's also more of a fujo game these days but it's a decent example of a company having a more family friend console release and then having lewder ones on mobile since they're from the same franchise. But even in regards to the swimsuits, Crestoria's swimsuits showed a lot more skin.
What are you 11 years old? Have you not been following Nintendos shift in internal policies since the late Wii era. Zoom zoom.
Sena is a buff man ?
>Design decision which has nothing to do with le woke

Oof looks like they went woke
>actually letting morons from another country tell you how to create your games and characters
lmao, I have to laugh at naive morons who act like "Japan is so heckin' based and redpilled", they will bend over for westoids at the absolutely smallest bit of ridicule from them, it's fricking pathetic.
>covered up all the females while giving buff men belly shirts
Have you seen Sena?
It's almost like Lanz and Sena are dressed like that because they're gymbros instead of some political motive
I just hate the lack of coomer outfits, the 1st and X both had bikinis, thats the only reason why I'm avoiding it, also the hot spring scene is woke cause it lacks any fanservice
>the hot spring scene is woke cause it lacks any fanservice
2 had a hotspring scene and it was the exact same as 3.
It makes up for it with big fricking anime tiddies
What kind of moron would try to claim a game endorsing polygamy is woke?
i guess its like any other meme word, people just use it as a general pejorative.
polygamy is degnerate woke shit
Its more woke but no Japanese game is fully woke because their culture clashes heavily with woke ideals.
Having a troony is the most woke thing you can have in a game.
But there are no snoys in Xenoblade.

Doesn’t look like it, to me. Nintendo putting a lot of marketing power to promote the game doesn’t mean it’s not niche. Do you actually think a jrpg game series like, idk, Fire Emblem, sell as many copies as Splatoon or Zelda?
I know Gankertards seethe and want this game to actually flop, but from what i’m seeing, it sold well for what it is.
>judging how an actual console seller game will sell, based on how performed a niche game.
Let the moronation keep going.

>Literally all of them are calling it a movie game
>The only thing they are praising is the OST
>They are even praising FF
woah, they actually hate it, funny how XC2 was loved in comparison
>30 minutes long opening cutscene
Is this true? Some of the Japs comments are saying this.
Not 30 minutes but it can get into moviegame territory in the beginning. It has a lot of world building and exposition to lay down first. Xenogames regularly have double digit hours of cutscenes
it's only moronic falseflaggers who complain about this
anyone who ever played any xeno game knows how long those cutscenes can be, hell, Xenosaga used to have save prompts so you could save in between cutscenes and continue later with how long they were
yeah its funny how they have no taste
The creative lengths a coomer will go to undermine a game that denies them their moronic porn fix simply boggles the mind. No wonder, since your brains have the same addiction responses to sexual visual cues as crystal meth. Seek help and frick off moron, XBC1 and XBC3 are much better without your shitty waifuhomosexualry and doujinbait saturated melodrama.
>XB3 fans are Sonic pedos
that explains a lot

So it's a faithful sequel then?
Not really, XB3 has way more cutscenes at the start. XB2 has like 1 major cutscene and then you are set loose in the first area.
Not even, game really doesn't get rolling until 5 hours in

>High attach rate always means legs
source?
>This is pretty mediocre sales for the game and I'm play Japan didn't fell for the woke shit in the game
Uh it's less about being woke and more about trying to appeal to a new audience. The game, outside of gameplay, seems very inspired by Tales of Arise: three couples, pretty painted-like aesthetic, main couple confirmed soulmates or something. I do daresay they tried to tap into that female market Arise found. As we're seeing with the sales didn't seem to work that well.
Arise characters aren't ugly shit like XC3's
That's true.
Verily. It in-deed takes myriad inspirations from the Tales series' release de noveau-- alas; such a tactic ended wastefully and balefully as the virtual entertainment product known as Xenoblade Chronicles the Third; considered by many on the Internet to be one of the weakest outings of one Monolith Soft; did underperform to such a degree to warrant vast mockery from the fine fellows in this very discussion.
I only always assume that you only need bishounen boys to tap into female audience.
That's over-simplifying. That do have more preferences. Some of them you can find in XC3 and Tales of Arise.
xb3 is bigger, but arise felt more grand to me. gameplay is meh in both
Not one real source has been posted in this thread.
><40-60%>
ouch
And remember this is WITH Nintendo’s media blitz, to the point of making the entire summer Direct about this one game only.
Is it too late to release the swimsuits?
based. i did my part by not buying it but still playing it cause a friend let me borrow teh game :). i hope companies keep catering towards the mentally ill freaks :
As someone who owns every Xeno game and will not buy Xenoblade 3, I'm happy it underperformed.
Just finished Chapter 3, when does the plot starts ? Please tell me the game isn't 80h of "go to place, defeat consule, repeat" until the game run out of alphabet letters... The gameplay is fun, it would be a shame if they'd fricked the story up
The plot literally stays the same for the whole game and the gameplay only gets more tedious. Just ask any anon.
Based. Not a single tendie tot debating this LMFAO
This will go down in history as the biggest betrayal in Japanese gaming history. Eric was right. This game has truly earned the title of worst game of 2022.
its over give me x port
Can someone explain why sonygays picked Xeno to go hard on?
I mean, this is botw tier shitposting.
Stop hiding behind sony
Because XB3 is a censored and pozzed game. See
: Japan has been tearing it a new one.
Based! Kick that fricking coward's ass!
Organized Discord raid groups and paid shills by Sony. These numbers are doctored and nobody on Ganker actually dislikes this game
Stop using Sony as an excuse for your game being one of the worst fricking things witnessed by man, Enel.
Is Enel the name of your leader?
Tell him to get the frick out of Xeno threads.
Yeah but why? This is a fairly niche series. I'd understand for pokemon, Mario, zelda, Splatoon all of these big games but not this.
Think for one second. What are the chances there is some kind of organized group behind this? Years after years after years.
>What are the chances there is some kind of organized group behind this?
It's a Nintendo game so chances are fairly high.
>What are the chances there is some kind of organized group behind this?
Almost guaranteed
It's either that or one very dedicated autist
I knew there was an organized group (right here
) but I had no idea it's been going on for years
It's easier to drown out conversation when it's niche.
It's not just Xenoblade, they did this with SMTV and Astral Chain and some other games too
I own pc, ps4, and a switch. It's not just sony hate. I hate everything about xenoshit and revel in its downfall. It is an atrocious series. The only salvageable thing are the coom designs but even those are now gone. Go play an mmo if you love xenoshit so much.
What else is Nintendo releasing?
Mario shovelware spin-off #835568?
splatoon, mario rabbids, pokeshit and bayonetta.
At least Nintendo is still releasing games, snoy is telling the snoylets to literally touch grass until Dad of Wife's son 2 comes out.

It means nothing, they didn't just start production overnight, these had been planned for years.
Miochads eating good.
it's a big name that become mainstream after 2nd game so obvious that they would make figures but it will barely sell compared to figs from previous games
Alright homosexuals, what's the most broken soul hacker build?
It's almost like after 3 game with the same terrible battle system and horrible stories people are over the series and have moved on.
Let's be real, people just wanted the new Pyra/Mythra.
There are so many blacks in this game wtf. More like nigatrans chronicles 3
blackrock has its hands in the nintendo cookie jar now. the stakeholders probably lovingly nudged them into more racial inclusivity
Blackrock has no impact on Nintendo, what the frick would Nintendo want with a few hundred million dollars in investment when they have billions in liquid cash that they already can't spend. The only thing you are seeing here is yet again the US branch selling Japanese studios the lie that their games need to be changed to suit western tastes, and that westerners worship Black folk and cover their face in shame if a woman is wearing anything less than a tank top and jeans, an easy lie to sell when Twitter is such an important platform, even though it presents an almost entirely leftist slanted look at US culture that represents less than 1% of all US citizens views.
It is pretty curious why this is the case.

At least put some effort into your shitposting, favela monkey.
It's a literal fricking corridor no matter how you put it. Chapter 1 is:
corridor to colony 9
corridor to the vandam plot thing
corridor back to colony 9
corridor back to vandam fight place
all of it with three times more spent in cutscenes and tutorials than actually playing a game.
Yeah, it's like you have to go
>7
times to
>1
location, eh Joáo?
>making up boogeyman
fricking wierdo creep fricks
I mean, I can call you Blanka, if you prefer that name...
Just like Xenoblade 1.
XB2 also had a corridor for its first chapter. You can frick around in Argentum but there isn't much to do there. Then you go to the ship and then the chapter ends.
I think the bigger issue is chapters in 3 are longer to make up for there being fewer, which means the story rolls at least 2 but upwards of 3 plot lines in per chapter. And that's to say nothing of how sprawling the Hero and Colony plotlines can be
I'll say I think this game suffers a bit from delegating what would have been H2H scenes into the main story. It means that you have no choice about when you have a poignant emotional moment, you can't progress the plot without them.
H2Hs were used specifically to deal with this issue. The result of integrating them back into the critical path means that the player's progress is going to be stopped more frequently
It's more frustrating because the game is really fun and a lot of the time, I just want to get to the next zone to fight new enemies
too many brakku peepuru
I'm glad this failed because of censorship
Because Monolith Soft will finally come crawling back to the tech demo.
And you know what, frick you Monolith Soft, I don't want X2. You can live with your half-assed re-used asset flip.
Im also glad X failed, shit game is shit and the black sheep of the series (tied with 2)
hope nintendo eats monolith and xeno can rest in piss finally
Objective failures of Xenoblade 3 so far
>soundtrack isn't as good as previous games
>heroes don't have a cool intro cutscene like blades it feels very unceremonious when you get them
>the main menu doesn't change per chapter
>consul n(igger) is too obvious
That's about all I can think of so far.
>the main menu doesn't change per chapter
Yeah, but you can change background (character positions), so...that counts?
That doesn't remotely make up for the main menu not changing per chapter like in Xenoblade 2
The Heroes all do get at least one big main-story quality cutscene at some point
Alexandra's is at the end of her quest, Isurd's is at the end of his. But they all get at least one cool scene
The BIGGER issue with them is the lack of post-battle banter with the other party members. I'm actually ASTONISHED that there's nothing from the heroes in terms of post-battle banter
The romance is really dull as well, it's like watching paint dry.
>vandham's attempts at getting them to not hate eachother and become friends are really weak and i kind of cringed that that's all it would take in an anime to work
>it doesn't work and they just leave without killing eachother because both teams lost a party member and they are too worn out to keep fighting
Pretty good.
It works though. Noah and Mio (the actual important people) only leave because the other four pressure them.
It works once they find themselves being hunted by their teammates, but Noah and Mio shared memories and were able to instantly empathize with eachother, so it's understandable why they wouldn't want to fight eachother again, but it's great that something that wouldn't have worked otherwise didn't work.
>Literally the best selling game in the franchise
>Snoys still claim Tortanic
what do you expect when they have to play pozzed games full of trannies and bearded women that appease to game journalists, just for their games to still end getting worse reviews than an anime waifu game?
That's really sad. I thought it would do like 150k or something given the good will from Xenoblade 2. Game just doesn't look very interesting.
I dont play xenoblade but this "controversy" with xenoblade 3 feels really forced, like almost manufactured
Why are people trying so hard to either praise or shit on the game
Just let the xenogays mind to themselves like falcom games or whatever
Censorship posting is false flaggers trying to make people hate people who don't like western standards being applied to Japanese games. The rest are just people who hate Nintendo or Xenoblade in general, the same people who have hated it for years who can't stop posting about it.
It's a lot of false flaggers false flagging false flaggers. I don't even believe the posts complaining about "censorship" (of which there is no proof of) or designs being toned down because they conveniently never mention that XBX was provably censored.
>Appeal to western homosexuals who won't even buy your game just praise it on twitter
>Why did it sell bad
Truely a mystery.
>all tendies can do is cope that it sold a little bit more than 2
>when the sell through literally means Nintendo and game store expected it to sell a lot more than 2
Lmao
Damn, it's TLoU2 situation all over again. 50% off in 3 weeks or less.
How is it a cope to celebrate higher sales than previous titles, especially after 1 remake bombed? I don't give a shit what Nintendo thinks, I'm glad the series is doing well. Investors are cancer
When the investment is like4x and you get 5% more sales, yes there's a serious issue here.
>When the investment is like4x
source on those numbers?
Monolith Soft increasing their team size significantly between games and still using a lot of externally contracted developers.
There was no "between games" really since 3's development was alongside the second game's end of dev. Monosoft is still hiring even after Xenoblade 3's development was finished and contract work is par for the course regardless of the scope of the game.
Xenoblade DE, plus help on other titles.
>3's development was alongside the second game's end of dev
Pre production, they don't design the characters while the character assets are being made, development exists in multiple stages and Monolith Soft is one of those devs that need a long lead in.
>Monosoft is still hiring even after Xenoblade 3's development
All studios are, they need to keep hiring more staff to replace staff who are leaving, Platinum Games has barely grown but have an annual univesity grads program.
>contract work is par for the course regardless of the scope of the game.
Well yeah because the composers are contracted, They contract staff for basic tasks because their own studio is just not large enough to handle these tasks internally, Nintendo themselves have identified this issue and are trying to rectify it, but Monolith Soft don't have billions sitting around to build a new office building and hire a few thousand more staff.
I don't give a shit about investors. They can all go to hell. Three was being made before 2 was even released anyways and dev was done when the game was announced per Monosofts own words. This isn't the huge failure that's going to end xenoblade/monosoft/Nintendo if the game did better than predecessors.
>I don't give a shit about investors.
When stuff fails investors won't give a sit about Xenoblade anymore either.
Except it didn't fail? Not meeting expectations (ones you made up btw) still doesn't equal failure. Sorry but this hyped new release wasn't the TORtanic you were looking for, try whatever the next big upcoming game is.
the discord raiders are already moving to pokémon now that the reviews and sales shows XC3 is an absolute success
just look at how the same shitposting is now being directed to the characters and designs from Violet & Scarlet
>still doesn't equal failure
>wasn't the TORtanic
Who said I thought it was tortanic, look making money is one thing but when your money is better invested elsewhere things will shift, there are multiple profitable series that have ended, the last Sim City made money, but EA isn't funding new ones, it's free money but that money is better invested elsewhere.
>when your money is better invested elsewhere things will shift
anyone with basic microeconomics knowledge know it doesn't work like that you absolute moron, if that was the case Nintendo would shift all of their studios to develop nothing but Mario platformers and Mario party games since those are what sell amirite?
it costs nothing for nintendo to include a few minutes of game footage in their directs, where's this "massive marketing campaign" you're talking about?
>anyone with basic microeconomics knowledge know it doesn't work like that you absolute moron
This isn't the general consumer market dumbass
You're literally talking about a company where multiple profitable IP has disappeared because there are better investments, where's Golden Sun, well it's dead because Mario Sports makes more than the entire Golden Sun series did per release, where's F-Zero, Mario Kart sells 40x that series per release, so there is no F-Zero.
Fricking dumbass.
>if that was the case Nintendo would shift all of their studios to develop nothing but Mario platformers and Mario party games since those are what sell amirite?
Multiple studios under Nintendo's own influence have literally done this moron.
It's also worth noting that flooding the consumer base with too much of one IP or too many similar games ends up hurting sales. Golden Sun also died because there was no niche for it in the Nintendo ecosystem: Pokemon is the go to casual RPG, Nintendo tries to get every DQ they can, Fire Emblem satisfied the tactical niche (which is part of why Wars died out), and now Monolith's Xeno games are filling the last relevant traits GS had (technical spectacle, presentation, content quantity) while simultaneously providing staff and tools for other games.
Higher sales don't automatically mean good news. It's like when you're a toy store and you order a huge stock for October, more than 200% (being conservative) what you ordered for September. When the books close you saw you only had 15% growth increase in sales. 15% increase only in October for a toys' store. Any sane businessman would be asking what he did wrong.
People said the same thing about Astral Chain and its still getting another game. I don't even understand the need to doompost over games that objectively sold well.
>Astral Chain and its still getting another game
What? Since when?
But did it really? XC3 admittedly seems to have a higher budget than XC2, not counting the massive marketing campaign. I still remember when people were asking for BotW2 and all Nintendo could talk about was XC3.
Mate if you don't please your corporate overlords, you're not getting more Xenoblades and you'll be getting articles about how tendies can't satisfy Nintendo anymore. That's how this works
You're out of your mind if you think we aren't getting more Xenoseries games. There are actual flops still get support, this is nothing.
Having extra copies available is better than not having them, 3 still outsold 2 even if coomers cry about it.
>when the sell through literally means Nintendo and game store expected it to sell a lot more than 2
nah. nintendo has been doing it with their latest releases. same with switch sports and mario strikers. strikers is the best selling in the seires even
this, they know their games have long legs so there's no reason to make things harder by having to restock all the time
holy cope
it's the truth anon. switch games sell for years in japan. recently XC2 got to 200k there and you can regularly see smash, splatoon 2, mario kart and botw on the top 30
wow, 200k in four years
yeah. pretty good considering how niche xenoblade is. even better that the new game already sold 130k
>barely sells more than XC2
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
OHNONONONO
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS SAID IT WOULD SELL MORE BECAUSE IT'S LESS COOMER
HAHAHAHAHAH
>sells more than XC2
>I THOUGHT YOU GUYS SAID IT WOULD SELL MORE
jesus christ
this is your brain in crippling porn addiction
Wow a few thousand more sales is something to write home about LOL
It sold more, cope newbie coomer shitter troll n*gger
I’m at the prison and the game is boring me to sleep. I just want it to end. How much longer do I have?
1 snow area
1 fetch quest
1 final dungeon
What’re Japanese fans saying about this game? The one review I read on Japazon said the story was boring compared to 2.
At least Bayonetta 3 disables the censorship. I remember all the excuses Tendies made up for the reason she was censored.
If Xenoblade 3 had this feature and the real designs for all the girls made them have designs similar to Pyra, Mythra, and Dahlia, I'd have bought the game in a heartbeat.
This article is pretty much. They're pretty much admitting Switch owners still live with their parents.

Holy shit bros, this is the best Star Wars movie!

Holy shit, it's really the same Torthomosexual.
Artificial hype?
Sounds more like snoy COPE to me.

>Preaches about open borders and fighting racist
>MC was raised by a black women
>The whole reason the conflict of the game started was because le evil church
>MC is groomed by prostitute and has 3 girlfriends in an open relationship
This is the game Ganker says is based and redpilled

>Game is about restoring order to a dying world
>MC is in loving relationship that was formed naturally
>Heavily pushes traditional family values
>To save the world you need to get people to notice and combat the evil happy merchants that fricked up the world and profit from wars
This is the game Ganker says is pozzed
XC2 was always pozzed
This
They censored Pyra and Mythra into the watered down versions we got in the base game
Source?
Just look at the concept art from the artbook
The concept art was too trashy and twintails didn't fit Pyra personality.
BROS THEY DREW PERUN NAKED IN THE ARTBOOK BUT SHE'S NOT NAKED IN THE GAME, FRICKING POZZED CENSORSHIP TO PUT CLOTHES ON HER
wtf i hate censoredblade2 now. theres also no futa blade which was also censorship, only a trap blade
did rex have a better concept art?
No
Game is good
But there are a lot of small things that were present in past games that this game is lacking or missing
In fact, the Heroes feel very uneven in terms of what kind of presence they have
They're present in the camp but they only have very basic poses. They don't ever interact with other party members in camp scenes. They have lots of contextual dialogue but almost never with other party members.
There seems to have been a conscientious effort to keep Heroes in their own dimension in terms of voice lines or animations
>establish a huge fanbase in one moment
>turn their backs on said fanbase the next
Was Sony leaving Japan a good decision?
sequels almost always underperform
Except XC2. That game made Xenoblade's name.

>didn't even answer who Fog King from Future connected was
it doesn't matter though,. the onl;y thing that mattered was that it tied 1 and 2's worlds together. The "fog" was the black fog that threatened to merge both worlds back together. the better question is how the frick did nia become a queen?
>it doesn't matter though
XC3 doesn't matter
hmmm
characters dont resonate with my penis
Just beat the game and stayed off Ganker for a week to avoid spoilers: Why was it so hated? I thought it was a pretty nice send off to 1 and 2 without blatantly continuing off what they set up.
>Why was it so hated?
it wasn't, look at reviews, sales and opinions everywhere
people loved it, the only one seething are the shazamgays that really wanted the game to be their next TORtanic
Because it's a waste of time with zero redeeming qualities
FUD and lies. Snoys have no games to play, so some snoygger keeps comparing it to tales and persona. making the same threads over and over.
Tendies are unironically worse than Snoys due to the fact Snoys don't get angry when their games get emulated, only ported.
>Snoys don't get angry when their games get emulated
What emulation? What games?
>Why was it so hated?
is it?
>gameplay is swallow
>characters are not interesting
>tired 'war-is-hell' theme
>level design is atrocious
>villains a joke-tier tokusatsu monsters of the week
>music is subpar
>boring Tale-of-Arise tier romance
>shipping every-fricking-where
>you can overlevel easily and can't level down
>despite this the classes take too long to grind
And we can't even say the designs are sexy to compensate. It's just thoroughly mediocre game for people who don't really play games.
>tired 'war-is-hell' theme
>boring Tale-of-Arise tier romance
As opposed to..? What, NTR for the third time?
>you can overlevel easily
The only time I was overleveled for a boss right in the main story was for the one at the end of Maktha, and that’s only because the first time I got there I was under by about 4 levels, and got sidetracked exploring and completing quests in the previous areas, so much that beating the boss for Alexandria’s quest gave me 2 levels in one fight. If you try to clear everything the moment it opens up then you’ll probably be overleveled but that would also require a bit of grinding to even have a chance at some of the higher level areas initially.
What a disaster of a game
>It's just thoroughly mediocre game for people who don't really play games
this is every jrpg tbh
>I thought it was a pretty nice send off to 1 and 2
Kek do you unironically think Takahashi is done milking 1 and 2?
You'll get your DLC with Shulk and Rex doing pointless shit again and your inconsequential epilogue like Future Connected again and you vill like it. No more originality allowed btw.
Becuase is the new Xenoblade lol. We had XC2 hate threads for 5 years and now is the best of the series? They dont even care to be subtle about it.
it's xenoblade. people have to falseflag as totally fans of the franchise after shitposting about 2 for 5 years
>Why was it so hated?
Vocal minority of XBC2 coomers trying to astroturf hate for a kino JRPG
2 fans love 3
That said the downsides of 3 are the shitty villains and forgettable music.
why? that easter egg was probably what all of them wanted
Ignore him, he's either Xgay or some other Xtroony trying to create a war.
Ironically 3 is a celebration of all of Xenoblade EXCEPT X, which is what makes him and a vocal minority pissed off
So stacking healers = easy mode?
only if you like your fights taking forever and chain attacks doing no damage because healers can't finish orders
>party lv 36
>enemy lv 76
Wat
He was fighting a Dragon, which is extremely slow and he had everyone with Revive Expertise or whatever and just spammed revives until it died.
If the enmy doesnt have a lethal AoE they usually cannot kill you faster than you rez.
Its even better if you build a "tank" with no aggro pulls, just as much defenses as possible and the accessory that lets them revive people.
enjoy taking 3 hours to kill it
Gematsu mods were saying this is actually good for 2022 jrpg and whatever.
>muh censored
>muh pozzedshit
>muh emulator
>muh over shipment
So what’s next?
I couldn't help but notice all the indirect paralells to XC1's plot
>Mwamba speared through the chest with claws and tossed aside like fiora
>D's entire shtick closely resembling metal face's
>Joran's reveal being like mumkhar's where they had a "Friend" who supposedly died but felt elated to come back and betray them with his newfound power
>N's obsession with M is basically Egil and Meyneth
>The way D dies is the same as metal face falling off of Galahad
>"Our lives as food" for Moebius
>The entire ending with Z which basically mirrored the exchange between Zanza and shulk in spectral genesis
I was really hoping they were gonna go ham with the whole ampitheatre and play it like MGS2 where everything was made to mirror the events of the past.
>indirect
no, they're very direct same with the xb2 parallels. I dunno how you identify those examples and not come to the conclusion it's deliberate.
>be 10 levels higher than Moebius Y
>still takes over 10 minutes to kill and feels like a boring slog
Hopefully he was just an isolated case. Frick HP bloat.
How? With chain attacks you can kill anything in seconds
Hard mode. And this is with V and VI gems.
Anon you just suck if you smash in a chain attack you can melt pretty much any enemies health bar
Not that anon, but I'm in the same position. The best I got was 300k and my team is level 46 or 47. On chapter 3. Still can't use Euroboros in chain attack (I assume that comes later?)
But I'm not annoyed by this because I enjoy long fights, believe it or not. Although story related fights will be too easy now...
Can you tell me - and this isn't because I'm too lazy to google, I just don't want to spoil any more of the game (especially hero list) - what is the highest possible % for bonus EXP in chain attacks? I think 400-something was the biggest one I had.
Oh yeah
>50 hours in
>still no break topple daze burst combo because I don't have a single burst, as far as I know
I get not liking XC3 as much as the previous games and all for various reasons, but it's getting real tiresome watching all these morons crawl out of the woodwork to claim the game is the worst thing to come out in the last decade and the biggest flop in recent memory when it's barely even been a week since the game officially released. Personally though I do hope they focus on either a remake of XCX or put out a sequel for it for their next game (hopefully one a little more story-focused anyway), that entry really doesn't deserve the fate it got by being left to rot on the Wii U.
XB3 is when Monolithsoft transitioned from making some of the kino-est RPGs of all time to literally rehashing Tales.
Okay I'll bite. What about XC3 was "Tales of" to you? Because I don't see it. and I love both series. because even if you're just talking arise, the only thing I see is N/Vholran comparisons and even thats a stretch.
Why couldn't it have been more like other, better JRPGs, like Tales of Arise?
Arise is only a step above Zest/bers as far as Tales is considered. It's certainly not a high bar for the series nor one that should be used to gauge the series as a whole. This coming from a diehard tales fan who still hates namco for killing crestoria.
You crazy? It's basically the same game.
but better
>lv 47
>still can't do more than 200k in chain
I obviously am doing something wrong.
You're not using Ashera
Definitely. Try auto-mode and find what are you doing wrong
Set Taion as anything other than a healer
Lanz and Sena are useless and won’t ever make bravos or amazings
Use a hero order if it shows up
Have your attacker go first in the first round and in later rounds have them finish because their tp will be over 50
Understand how your hero’s effect works when they attack and use a good one
Ensure you will get an ouroboros order when you’re selecting the fourth round or if you have a bad setup and can’t extend that long
Have your attacker’s orders go towards the end of the chain attack for higher damage ratios
I can't use Ouroboros in chain. I don't have that option yet.

The only thing I can honestly say is the music is lacking as all hell. I can remember practically all of XC's OST, most of 2 and X's but the only track I can even remember from playing 3, which i dedicated my last three days to playing mind you, Is that damned flue solo that plays 50 times over. Nothing like mechanical rhythm, or tragic decision. even the moebius battle theme was mid.
XC3 musical strength lies in it's battle themes. Having finished the game I can say that XC3 has weaker villains and location music than 1 and 2.
3 OST is great though, everblight plain is probably the kinoest track in the entire series
>Ribbi Flats
Absolutely underrated kino track. Getting to that area and seeing all of the verticality while that music played gave me a sense of wonder and desire to explore that I haven't felt since I played X.
I will say though, I just got to Urayan Tunnels and so far the area themes (visuals and music) are overall much weaker than past games, but the areas themselves are more fun to explore than 1 and 2. So I'm a little torn.
Same
I'll also say the zones aren't really as distinct as I'd like. about 50% are visually similar plains, the other 50% of decent
2 feels positively condensed compared to 3. 2 had almost nothing but original, distinct and memorable zones and music. 3 has nearly twice as much but I can only remember every other zone theme or area.
I will say I quite enjoy the battle tunes and the general variety you get early on even in the field with both normal, elite and unique monster themes
Exploration I feel like is an improvement. I can’t remember the areas too well but I remember what I did, like climbing on the wall of hidden machina village, trying to run the the back section of the desert area with the glowing trees (only to later discover that leads to colony iota), finding a cave in the first area that only has high level elites and rushing to get the containers in there, exploring the upper area of the first grassy plain once you get the climbing ability, going back and finding colony gamma, spending hours searching the mountain in the desert for the cave entrance (it was far from the mountain), finding a locked door in the desert, zip lining over the the ruined gate of fonsa myma, and searching for supply drops and the glowing shards. It feels like I’m actually exploring the world, and manages to give more memorable moments than 1 or 2, even if the actual locations aren’t that memorable or are reliant on the player remembering the location from a prior game and seeing how it transformed.
Absolutely
I agree that the actual map layout is better and encourages looking around the world more rather than over-relying on the map itself
I'll have to replay X at some point to compare but on the whole, it's definitely the most enjoyable game to play moment to moment.
I suppose it's just all the little things that I miss. The super distinct zone color palettes and themes. The variety of town themes (even though there are way more towns now).
It's the little things I miss the most, even though all the big things are direct improvements over past games
>unlock Unlimited Blade
>bunch of reused animations from Jin/Addam
kinda lame
Problem is that the booba was the only thing carrying the autism tier dialog in 2.
Xenoblade 3 is so dull I'm going to buy Soul Hackers 2 instead.
I know you snoys don't have any games to play right now but maybe go touch grass
I need to rant about that last stretch. How the hell do you have a dungeon more packed to the walls with enemies than prison island or elysium, and yet still feel lacking? I fought every single enemy on my way to Z, and was about 79 by the end of it. I started the dungeon at 75. That's only 4 levels worth for the sheer amount of tedium and nonsense to go through, only to find out the final boss is only seventy fricking two. Zanza was at least 82. Zanza at least had a compelling argument and speech with memorable dialogue. Z had a few very annoying status changes, and TEN PHASES. And if you lost on any of those phases it was right back to begining with at least 15 minutes of in between exposition. Like jesus. Reel it in. I want the story too, but the pacing is all over the fricking place. it wasn't epic or interesting, it was just annoying. What was the fricking point of fighting not only 5 Z' phases, but a random X, a Y, and then 3 more Z phases??
>WHAT IF I SET THE STAGE ON ICE?
>WHAT IF I SET THE STAGE ON FIRE?
>WHAT IF I SHOWED CLIPSHOWS OF EACH DUO'S LIVES?
>WHAT IF I SPLIT YOU UP AND YOU GOT HALF A DOZEN HEROES AS BACKUP, TWICE?
he just keeps going, christ
The finale is where Xenoblade 3 goes from 2/10 to -7/10. It was bad but the end just cemented it as one of our most hated games of all time!

>TFW Tales of, SMT and Xeno fan
I wish you guys would just get along.
it's literally just a single moron trying to push this narrative
any JRPGgay probably played both, since it's not like the genre isn't on life support, so we have to take what we can get
Who's fighting? Everyone is pointing out Xeno3 took a lot from Arise.
Yeah I legitimately don't see it. Arise is hardly the game i'd use as the poster boy for a good tales game, but even so I don't see what X3 aped from it other than having an open world and a cast of 6 characters, something Abyss and Phantasia did ages ago.
It's very arise-like. The aura of shipping never leaves you. It's the focus of this game, as it was with Arise.
...That's it? You're argument is its shipping heavy? Dude you're acting like it's an otome. Did we just conveniently forget how shipping heavy Xenoblade 1 was? Hell Sharla and Reyn are implied to get married.
don't forget sharla saying to melia she ships her with shulk and would support her, just to turn on her seconds later once fiora is revealed to be alive lol
Not to mention the "You have to take what you want" speech while fighting dickson.
I'd stay quiet if it was just one aspect, but the whole game revolves around this. You meet the super hyped from the trailer Ethel. First thing she says? She has the hots for some guy. Every character interaction between everyone else? Pushing a shipping. It's exactly like Arise when they swapped the funny skits with shipping skits. Where was the soul? Where was the two autistic guys debating insect battles? Where was the blonde guy get fricking destroyed at his history hobby? It's all fricking shipping. If not the main couple, it's the brown dude and the blonde bombshel, if not them, the kids. It's the same shit in XC3. Eunie has a fricking important revelation about their world, starts to enter PTSD, does she develop as character or we get to know more about the situation? Nope, the Afro dude gives her tea and they share a touching moment. Frick off. At least Melia getting cucked was funny.
>Where was the two autistic guys debating insect battles? Where was the blonde guy get fricking destroyed at his history hobby?
...And now you're using berseria as your example of soul in a series that has had 13 far more soulful entries in it since the early 90's? I get it if you haven't played a lot of tales games, but jesus you've got a low bar if you think those are highlights. That's literally just the same anime-esque tropes you'll find in literally any JRPG post 2015. Even kiseki is chock full of shit like this.
I played Vesperia too long ago, so I don't remember much.
The environments are so much worse than 1. Sartorl Marsh, Bionis' s Leg and Eryth Sea were iconic. So far in 3 I've been in a generic wasteland, generic green plains, and generic desert.
Eryth sea is in but they butchered it. Ironically the best place is Makna wildwood L, but its totally optional.
To those who actually beat it, what did you think?
A little disheartening. I was expecting more, but overall I enjoyed playing it.
>I was expecting more
as in?
It just felt rushed. especially the whole last segment. Everything is just fine now because we stopped moebius? Nia even said the original issue was that the worlds that Klaus split yearned to be reunited. So whats stopping that from happening again? It was never Z or moebius that cause the worlds to gravitate towards each other, it was the will of the universe. How does stopping Z, an entity that came after all that as an afterthought, stop that?
anon, Origin was created to solve the issue of both universes colliding which would kill everyone
but the process was brought to a halt when Z was born
freeing Origin from Z's grasp meant Origin would finally able to finish doing its thing
the entire game is basically just a simulation made by Origin that happens in a split second, which is why the post-credits scene is just a continuation of the intro scene with child Noah, time finally began to move again thanks to Noah & co
best story in the series even with all the contrived shit
my favorite party too, only sena is somewhat boring, the heroes are all amazing
OST is better than 1, slightly worse than 2, same for the battle system
overall a much better game than 2, although 1 is still my favorite for personal reasons
Its a much more complete and holistic experience than either 1 or 2. While 1 and 2 both did individual things better, 3 lacks some of the glaring flaws. Much better side content and battle system than 1 and none of the tedious bullshit like gacha and field skills in 2. The Hero system is a straight improvement over blades in every way. Combat starts slow but when you start to unlock fusion arts and arts cancelling it genuinely speeds up to an action game pace that consists of more that topple locking or orb stacking. Overall I think I still like the combat in 2 better, but it ended up being a lot closer than I had feared when I learned you could not move autoattack cancel. Chapter 5-6 is pure Xenokino and took inspiration from some of the unused plans for Xenogears. Its not perfect, I wished their was a connection to the Conduit, as the lore and references are one of the main reasons I got into Xenoblade after playing Xenogears, but it isn't a make or break thing because it does other things in the story well. Also I liked the what the villain represented thematically but I didn't like the execution. It felt like he had 2 separate motivations, a Wilhelm-esque "shield the world from uncertainty" shtick that resonated with me and felt in line with the greater Xeno series and a cartoonishly evil "I'm doing this to amuse myself and my audience" shtick and I really could not parse how they related to one another. Overall a great game for Xenofans and the obvious schizoposting against it is hilarious.
Z was literally just UDO though.
Do you care to explain? I'm not all up on my xenosaga lore so there is a good chance I am misinterpreting it but to me it felt like he was more Wilhelm, trying to keep the world repeating rather than letting it continue to go down the path of an uncertain future.
He's kind of both i guess. Its wilhelm in terms of having a motive to keep everything in stasis, but his make literally came from the collective unconscious of people's fears about being unable to move forward, which is what gave rise to moebius in the first place.
That makes sense. Z being some sort of wave existence would really heighten my enjoyment of him even more. I got a lot of gnosis vibes from the Mobius as well, obviously they were a redux of Testaments being the souls unwilling to move on that turned into monstrous forms scratched that Gnosis itch. I hoped it would be more explicit, but looking back it really did have a lot of Xenogears/saga themes in it even without the conduit.
I enjoyed it but like the previous 2 more
Not as good as xc2, and a let down on the character design (appearance and personality wise)
Fixed almost every issue I had with 2 but added some new issues.
It was fun and great, but I honestly wish they had not marketed it or attempted to connect it to 1 and 2 given how self contained it is. If it was changed from Melia and Nia, Bionis Sword and Uryan Titan to new OCs and locations, this is a spin-off. I get they probably didn't want to do "Shulk meets Rex" again for 3, but like, what the hell's the point of having it all mix for no real payoff. Just a few "I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT" with the dialogue, music choices and the ending Monado/Rex photo. It really set up high expectations of seeing what happened after XC 1 and 2 after they beat their Zanza/Malos and then it's basically irrelevant. I would rather it stood on its own two legs trying to tell a story rather than lean on "hey, remember this?" references that go nowhere. Frick. The game was fun and great, just ruined by what I was expecting.
It's shit, worse than every other Xenoblade game, made me want to play X and 2 again with how bad it was, I would beat DE again as well but I beat it in like January
why are snoytrannies so upset?
No idea. They think that some women wearing more clothes is pozzed and are using it to attack the entire game and going on a scream rampage.
I'm a hardcore Xenogay, moron
Xenoblade is my favorite game series, I beat the games several times, invested over 100 hours each time, and guess what? 3 was the worst.
>Hardcore Xeno fan
>Playing on Yuzu
Yeah sure you are.
You don't think I'm gonna waste money on this trash, right? I rather buy a Wii U to replay X.
You're a liar and are using Yuzu to randomly run around and take screenshots early in the game, you aren't a Xenofan. You're shitposting on Ganker and falseflagging.
>snoytroony claims that
stop pretending.
keep bringing up your boogeyman, maybe one day you'll convince yourself
>moron doesn't even know Nia's class is post-game only
Holy shit, the people defending the game didn't even play it, I thought the discord raid thing was a lie but turns out it's not.
see
You didn't even play the game, why should I care about your boogeyman? I know more about this game than most of the "people" defending it and it's worse than any other Xenoblade, hell I know more about this whole series than most 3gays.
>snoytroony can't stop projecting
kek
>defends a troony game
>calls others trannies
It's a 70 hour game you fricking idiot and I'm taking my time. If that's post game, explain this
>Huge Xenofan
>didn't buy Xenoblade 3
>Played through the whole game on Yuzu, beat it, then decided it was shit
So were you magically going to buy it after you beat it on Yuzu if it was good, as a fan? You fricking lying dipshit.
If I liked it then sure, but I got it from the leak, beat it, and turns out it's shit.
By the way Melia is also post game, I feel like that's important information.
snoytroony, we already know those COPES
You can tell Takahashi REALLY wanted to do UDO again, but had to dial it back.
Where can I download the shaders for yuzu?
do you carry over unlocked classes in ng+? trying to decide what to put off for then
>tfw this year's pokemon game looks better than XB3
What the frick happened to Takahashi?
woahhhh don't be that stupid anon
It just shitposting board at this point, redditors and other tards go here to vent and think they have the power to influence anything, only reason to go here is to get leaks.
>Nia looks back fondly on her cherished photo
>It's Rex with TWO babies in both Myra and Mythra's arms, and everyone happy as a clam.
>Melia looks back fondly on her cherished memento
>Its shulks old discarded monado where he made a world to go be with fiora and not her
please understand Takahashi has a hate boner for Melia
Why don't the Japanese like autoplay mmo-lite gameplay?
They like boring static combat like DQ and press A to Awesome like FF though.
Surpassed 15% the prequel's sales, without counting the special edition, seems pretty reasonable to me.
And if 15% more than XB2 was all they had shipped, it would be reasonable. But the initial shipment being that large is a sign they were expecting much, much more in the way of physical sales than they got.
or they overship to avoid having to refill too much
We have to see its legs.
DE edition sold more than 2 early as well.
to be fair the difference was very small, and remasters almost never sell better than new entries
the fact that it managed to sell more than a million copies is amazing, shows how strong the brand is really (although Shulk being a smash rep definitely helped)
How did we go from this...
Mythra is just a worse Milla Maxwell.
>crew breaks into prison to meet a black person
cancelled game
No sir.
We broke into a zoo exhibit for a female gorilla.
I love the game but Ghondor is the worst fricking character in the series. Maybe the japanese audio can salvage her god awful voice but nothing can redeem her for stealing the entirety of Sena's sidestory, its the only part of the game I legitimately hated.
It’s honestly amazing how they make the no-face Prison Warden look far more bearable than this b***h.
It doesn't even need to sell 1 million to break even homosexual, kys.
>96 posters
And he never get tired of samegayging
That's a 15% increase over the previous game, you absolute fricking moron. Frick off, you troll.
Wow a whole 15%!
>That's a 15% increase over the previous game
when the previous game made the series popularity explode in Japan?
They fricked up bad, just admit it
>gambler/corsair + blue mage rolled into one guy
I did not think for a second this game would still have more gameplay surprises, let alone something that appeals to my tastes this fricking hard
how the frick do you set the blue mage arts? i have a bunch of them but cant equip them on the arts page
did you make sure you really unlocked them? You have to kill unique boss monsters with the Soul Hack skill equipped, and that means you have to refight old ones you might have fought before.
>you find one of the villains
>he's roleplaying as a pirate
>he challenges the party to a contest
>joins the party after getting bested
this is pure JRPG kino, the kind I haven't seen since the SNES era since nowadays every single JRPG party is fixed and everyone joins automatically with no space for optional party members
A blue mage? Really? How does that work?
You kill Unique Monsters to get new abilities
>15%
Not worth the development time, they could have shat at a couple more xc2 DLCs and would have made more money. This is a blunder.
how is this game's combat system? I ended up enjoying xc2's combat system once I got mythra
Same problem XC2 had in that it takes way too long to fully open up.
Besides that, it's okay. Not sure if I like it more or less than XC2's.
>Same problem XC2 had in that it takes way too long to fully open up.
FRICK
If it's any consolation it opens up within a few hours as opposed to a few dozen hours in 2
>years spent shitposting about Xenoblade 2, literally thousands of threads
>as soon as Xenoblade 3 is announced, Xenoblade 2 becomes beloved and the Xenoblade 3 shitposts start pouring in
Really makes you ponder
>becomes beloved
What do you mean? People are still shitting on 2 as a way to prop up 3 and blame Sonygays. For some reason.
>shitblade 2
>beloved
Will never happen.
This game's 2nd half is so fricking bad It boggles the mind. Legitimately infurating.
Based, frick this game. It doesn't deserve a single sale.
It's going to outsell 2. 2 will always be that weird outlier. Cope.
>weird outlier
What?
2 will end up being the 2nd best selling. 1, 2, and 3 have all unique styles and themes, and 3 if anything is a celebration of 1 and 2 (moreso 2 with Nia being more important to the story than Melia)
X is the weird outlier of the xenoblade franchise. It has been left in the dirt for almost 10 years now with the only references being Elma cameoing in post launch dlc for 2 and getting a sticker in smash bros
shut the frick up coomer
>love all 3
>love Takahashi
>that makes me a coomer
The same character designer of 2 is the character designer of 3, what are you even crying about?
see
seething coomer
What am I seething about?
I'm about 30 hours in and just heading to the first castle. Why is Mio freaking out about her mark? Didn't becoming Ouroboros make it so they're not under the 10 year limit anymore? Did I miss something here?
>Didn't becoming Ouroboros make it so they're not under the 10 year limit anymore
No, it didn't
so what's the point of the flame clock iris
The flame clocks are being used as mind control. They're basically the Onions system from Xenogears
1. Mind control
2. If the flame clock you're attached to runs empty everyone attached to it dies
Why Lost Colony didn't die of Flame Clock than
good question
>2. If the flame clock you're attached to runs empty everyone attached to it dies
this kinda baffles me...
what's the difference in you destroying it or it running out?
wouldn't they die either way?
did i miss something?
The flame clocks are how Moebius feeds on people's lives, you feed it with life energy from the other side so you don't get succed yourself
Destroying the flame clock severs their connection from Moebius, so no more life drain
It outsold 2 without even counting the fact that collectors editions will go fully unreported in famitsu due to being Nintendo exclusive. Same situation with UK.
Did it?
Yes
Snoys are coping because the sales increase isn't equivalent to increased install base but we won't get accurate numbers until early November for the first two months of units moved
Based. People are forgetting the collector edition of 2 was available on day 1 so those sales were counted and 3 still sold more.
Snoy tribalism will never not be hillariously disproportionated for a toy brand.
Why are moronic XBC2 coomers seething so hard about this game?
2chads won with 3. 3 is a huge glowup for Nia and Rex.
The Xtrannies lost. Not even a single reference to their game (in canon) two games straight now
Underperform? It sold better than Xenoblade 1 and 2 if you compare all of their first weeks.
>My lovely wife
Japs want the gacha back
holy shit we DID IT LADS, WE FINALLY GOT ANOTHER TORTANIC
>02./00. [NSW] Xenoblade Chronicles 2 # <RPG> (Nintendo) {2017.12.01} (¥7.980) - 97.732 / NEW
Install base increases tenfold, sales are up 15%. What's the cope this time around?
Why are snoytrannies hyperSEETHING right now?
Is it their subhumanity?
Xenoblade doing well is triggering their COPE instincts.
No characters resonate with my dick.
>Xenoblade 3 underperforms in Japan
get woke, go broke.
It's not even woke. It's just disappointing seeing 2005 graphics in a game from 2022
Why do snoytrannies even try that?
You should try the bleach therapy from
, it should help
>say anything bad about israelitetendo's sacred cow
>get instantly accused of being a fanboy
I see the NIDF is out in full force today.
>snoytroony desperately SEETHING at reality
Why?
Your game is a flop. It's failing to meet sales forecasts, and it's thanks to rabid, overzealous idiots with no standards or principles like you who will eat whatever their corporate overlords scrape out of their asses, no matter how bland, insipid, or deficient it is.
>snoytroony literally makes shit up again
Why are snoys so moronic?
By the way, your pic has sony as a major client.
>Why are snoys so moronic?
Other than Stray, which is a decent game btw (and already made fan of TLoU seethe) they had no games 3 months in a row.
This leaves a mark on their mental state.
>rabid, overzealous
That describes the game's detractors more than anything else.
>tone down sexy outfits to the point where they become unsexy
>it's not pozzed
pick one.
>b-but muh age rating says it has sex
that would make it an h-game, and it's not.
Snoytroony, why even pretend?
Man, skinning you and your family alive is worth saving the village, as described
Not even sorry.
>snoys suddenly care about japan sales
>snoytrannies on Twitter back in hyperCOPE as well
Kek, why so butthurt?
Sonyshit OP completely mindbroken.
Another masterpiece exclusive for Switch.
all the hypersnoys on twitter are also desperately trying to shit on it.
Seems like they are afraid.
Review-bombing the shit out it too lma0o
I have no idea why the snoys are the most mentally deranged group of "people" I have ever seen.
They are absolutely pathetic.
>Your game is a flop. It's failing to meet sales forecasts
Malding Sonyshit lma0o
Meant for
>he doubles down
>the troony keeps SEETHING hard
Why?
Just remember it's because of moronic enablers like (You) that defend troonyism and censorship that your beloved corporation is dying.
Even pokegays, who are known for buying anything with a pokemon logo, are beginning to wise up to troonyism.
Enjoy your seeing the franchises you like die. And the worst part is it's all (You)r fault.
>snoytroony still trying to push its COPE
Why are you so desperate?
OH NO SONYBROS ITS NOT WORKING! REGROUP BACK THE DiSCORD!!!!
>best launch in the series
>snoy: it's a flop!
What insanity is this? Even if we didn't count digital at all, it's still far from a flop.
Did it really bomb? Is it that bad? I was hoping this would hold me over until Ragnarock comes out.
No, it's a massive success that snoytrannies are SEETHING hard about.
Remember when metroid dread "flopped"?
>https://twitter.com/justanled
>snoysubhumans SEETHING at xenoblade already
Kek
This is what the average snoy is like?
Holy shit, that is even worse than I thought.
Game feels like the plot falls off a bit after ethels colony. Every other colony just lets you walk in and frick their flame clock immediately with no real tension.
>Japan trashes Xenoblade 3 for being a moviegame with 30 minutes of opening sequence
>The West gobbles up nu-GoW
>a shitty movie game outsels my shitty movie game
how does it feel to be shittier than shit lmao.
So.....this is the power....of Xenoblade shill...wooow....
WHy are snoytrannies this desperate?
here, you dropped this
>snoytroony cn't stop projecting
Kek, the subhumans can't even keep their own little narratives alive.
>https://twitter.com/TWTHEREDDRAGON
this is what the average snoytroony is like, btw.
So I know Eunie using the gun build is broken, but what else is considered broken?
How reliable is the Auto-Build option?
Quite ironic when Nintendo schizos cry about trannies after non-binary character in XC3 and picrelated.
Why do snoytrannies always try this?
Go back to trooning out in Pokemon, nintroon.
Snoysubhuman, go back to Twitter and go get your bleach lobotomy.
It will help you.
>non-binary character in XC3
Literally fanfiction
Isn't this projection considering last of us 2 stars a troony?
Calm down guys. The fan service dlc outfits are coming soon.
Nintendo is falling apart, it's over
Question: when Famitsu starts counting a week of sales and when they restart a new week?
They start on a sunday and end on saturday or do they not count weekends?
Oh, so they start counting on monday they finish on sunday.
>Best launch for the series even without counting the SE
>Underperformed
Will Snoys keep getting assblasted everytime a Switch exclusive launches?
itt: Snoytrannies unable to cope
This thread is so fricking obviously full of shitposters that don't even care about Xenoblade Chronicles or play Xenoblade Chronicles.
No article anywhere says it underperformed.
Look at the number of posters (155) compared with the number of replies (446)
It's all the same schizos samegayging the thread into bump limit, like Eric tried to do in the Famitsu Sales thread from the previous week but a mod banned jim and all more than 100 replies of his got deleted.
That even confirmed his the one defending the gay pedo Sony CEO because the posts got deleted too.
Are you illiterate?
are you a troony?
The answer is yes.
The answer is projection
So you are both illiterate and a troony?
Good to know
1>X>3>>>2
Xenoblade sucks. It is shit.
The graphics on display in Xenoblade 3 are extremely detailed for the hardware, it's more akin to Xenoblade X on the WiiU in terms of technical achievement, not quite Breath of the Wild but being number 2 isn't bad, in spite of the low resolution and framerate issues the games visuals are stupidly detailed, and there's a definite improvement in terms of geometry, rigging, animation and textures compared to Xenoblade 2, the characters are more comparable to the ones seen in Tales of Arise with conservative nips and tucks to things like hands, and lower res textures. If Monolith Soft were to float character detail within where it is now they could easily be doing 1080p/60fps on Nintendo's next gen hardware, but considering that they opted to boost the visual fidelity of just about everything compared to Xenoblade 2 on the same hardware that's probably not going to happen, personally I'd rather something more conservative that performs well over something like FF7 Remake which has completely ridiculous levels of detail, at least for the characters.
It's why some people wish that Nvidia leak info is true, as that is hardware that's equivalent to a nvidia 1660ti but as a mobile chipset.
What the frick are you smoking? The game looks awful.
Why are Snoys in this thread? Why are they posting about a game they can't and won't play?
But what's a real mystery is how Stray broke them, and that game is not even on the Switch. Let me repeat: a game that's available on PS4 and PS5 broke Snoys...because it's not filled with propaganda like TLOU.
fricking lel
I've seen a lot of people mention how it's not that big of an increase over XC2, but nobody pointing out that XC2 released during a holiday season while XC3 released smack dab in the middle of summer.
I'm loving it while playing on a buggy emulator.
Deserved. You dont shit on the people who made your series popular
Hope they go full Persona next game and make you choose the love interest instead of this cuckshit
Why do snoytrannies always try this?
>snoytrannies
Nice try. I fricking hate Sony but XB3 is trash made to appeal to resetera and people who complained about 2 fanserves
Why are snoytrannies always falseflagging like this?
>Cant criticize something you like
and I'll keep repeating this because it's true
XB3 is trash made to appeal to resetera and people who complained about 2 fanserves
snoytroony, stop trying so desperately to falseflag.
>Cant refute the woke shit
I accept your concession
>can't refute being a snoytroony
I accept YWNBAW
>Woman isn't naked in a game
>It's woke
Your brain is fricking swiss cheese. Pyra and Mythra were butt-fricking moronic design wise and looked like blow up dolls. If you legitimately think that's good design you're a fricking moron.
>Oh he's coping hahaha, he endorses censorship
Keep seething.
I knew resetera trannies post here
you won this round with how shit and pozzed XB3 turned out to be
You misunderstand me. Women with big boobs and big butts are fine. But put some fricking CLOTHES ON.
>with how shit and pozzed XB3
it's not shit or pozzed you're just fricking seething
>Pyra and Mythra were butt-fricking moronic design wise and looked like blow up dolls
>bawwwww bawwwwww if I don't like it it's moronic design
you got the wrong door. moronera is 3 doors down.
We're going to have daily anti xenoblade threads for the next 5 years, just like what happened with xenoblade 2
I just started chapter 6. How many hours do I have left until the end?
How many hours have you invested so far?
I'm 50h in and still on chapter 3 lel
Y'all know if this game sells 1 million copies (which it is guaranteed to do) it's a smash success right?
Keep fricking seething. XBC4 is already in development.
>WHAT... I CAN'T CUM?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yes coom sells for the 99% of the gaming market
Specially if your brand was created based on that
You can have hot women in a game without boobies and legs out.
Not when you stablish yourself like that already.
global audience that will not buy the product
focus on your target demographic
Imagine being so fricking braindead and brain fried that you are legitimately upset that a stomach or boobs of a PS2 graphics character are covered up and you can't jack off to the character in your room.
This is fricking abysmal, bottom of the barrel shit. If you are this type of person, please, fricking have a nice day. Women aren't objects. Men aren't objects. Both need to wear normal clothes.
You dont understand it.
I hope you never be the responsible for marketing in a company.
