Xenoblade Chronicles X Famitsu Review Translated Into English
Xenoblade Chronicles X, the new role playing game developed by Monolith Soft. launching next week in Japan and later this year in North America and Europe exclusively on Wii U, is one of the more anticipated role playing games launching this year.
The anticipation and excitement surrounding the new role playing game from Monolith Soft. has only increased earlier this week, when the popular Japanese magazine Famitsu reviewed the game in its latest issue, awarding it a total score of 34/40. Scores mean nothing without some actual details, though, since there’s no way to know what the reviewers liked and didn’t like with just generic scores. Thankfully, the review has been translated by a dedicated fan from the GameFAQs boards called Sonsaru and, as expected, the four reviewers have really positive opinions on Xenoblade Chronicles X.
With so many positive impressions on Xenoblade Chronicles X coming from those who have already played the game, the wait for the North American and European releases has become even more unbearable. A new English presentation focused on the game has been aired a couple of days back but a release date hasn’t been confirmed so we don’t even know how long we will have to wait to be finally able to get our dirty hands on this beautiful role playing game.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is an open world role playing game which allows players to explore a vast world. Players can explore the world on foot or on Skells, huge mechs that have the ability to fly, traverse water and transform into difficult terrain vehicles. Skells can also be used in battle to unleash some serious damage to the game’s many huge enemies.
Xenoblade Chronicles X will be released on April 29th in Japan exclusively on Wii U. The North American and European version of the game will be released on a yet to be confirmed 2015 release date.
Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?
Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.
Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
