As someone who loves Xenoblade 2 but knows full well some of the character designs are awful and will always admit that, but also discovered that there's an icky segment of the fanbase who's like "no actually the game rules because of the character designs!!!" and celebrates that, I know this pain all too well.I'm sorry everyone
This is about how I feel on it. The thing is i've seen some seemingly normal people who aren't in on the whole culture war background who think people that don't like how this has blown up on Twitter are like prudes or something and it's like ... no ... I can get how you'd think that, but the problem is really more the cultural background and how people hyping this shit as game of the year just because it has muh jiggle physics are the same type of people who read oneangrygamer
Also as someone who played the demo, it's fine, but I wish the real controversy was how boring and unnecessary adding Souls mechanics to every action game is I get tired of games having terrible hitstun, especially a game that is inspired by character action games. My opinion on the quality is very similar to Maximilian's
See here, though, I'm the opposite. As soon as I heard "it's actually less character action and a lot more Sekiro" then I immediately got way more interested. I don't actually like character action games and I adore Souls games, so I guess I'm part of the problem who wants Souls mechanics in like... everythingSee, before the "special" outfits surfaced and everyone went goofy over the game, back when I had just heard of it as being possibly "another Automata," I was thinking I might give it a try! But now that the demo is out and I'm seeing people say it's actually more Souls than Nier I'm like "welp, n/m"
