Indeed. They don't hand out gold easily.Essential form Eurogamer.
That is high praise
How the hell can you call environments uninspired in a Monolith soft game?Still, the narrative and world designs left much to be desired as critical plot twists are frustratingly obvious, character growth is virtually nonexistent, and navigation in each uninspired environment proves to be a tiring exercise. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a double-edged sword that needs a bit more sharpening.
Reviews are super positive overall. The numbers don’t matter.IGN and game informer of course being the 2 lowest that’ll bring the meta down due to their weight hopefully it settles around 90
AMAZING THO!!!!
Our cabal got to Metacritic but not to Opencritic, it seems.
it's funny because it's the complete opposite of what RPGsite wrote.From the GI review

That's defeatist talk! With things like sleep mode it's never been easier to break up long games into 1 hour or less chunks. It'll just take a while to finish but you can do it.Really wish I was 15 years younger so I had time to play games like this.
Eurogamer says the campaign lasts for 50ish hours.Sheesh, 150 hours is a lot. Inclined to believe that it is not so much a 150 hour campaign, but rather a 40-60 hour one with the rest being sidequests and postgame.
Yeah, that sounds about standard for the series.Sheesh, 150 hours is a lot. Inclined to believe that it is not so much a 150 hour campaign, but rather a 40-60 hour one with the rest being sidequests and postgame.
I don't know how much you know about Metacritic culture (I'm an expert)What a disappointment, not even over 90 for the biggest nintendo game of the year. I personally only play game with a metascore of 90+ (I don't have time for mediocrity) so that's a big slip for me, Nintendo should truly reconsider is stance on game quality and start searching for better developers

My prediction was 85-89 range in the prediction thread so I'm right there with you89 with 33 reviews in, I imagine this will dip to 87 or so. Right in my expected range and a notable improvement from 2 and Torna if that pans out.
Isn't that how most of these games are structured based on HLTB stats?Sheesh, 150 hours is a lot. Inclined to believe that it is not so much a 150 hour campaign, but rather a 40-60 hour one with the rest being sidequests and postgame.
Reminds me of when they gave Paper Mario TTYD a low score because they thought it wouldn't appeal to a wide audience.From the GI review

I wish the Switch being so outdated and struggling tech-wise didn't have any impact at all in the reviews. I know some of them ignore it (or, rather, take it into account), but it still seems to be affecting some of them and it's annoying imo. Like could even Monolith Soft do much better on this hardware? Really?
The technical issues on resolution and such are only the Switch's fault, nothing else
it a beautiful and well performing game too. only time I notice otherwise is when you see a closeup on like hair lolI wish the Switch being so outdated and struggling tech-wise didn't have any impact at all in the reviews.

Virtually the whole staff is different now. Weird thing to hold against them.Reminds me of when they gave Paper Mario TTYD a low score because they thought it wouldn't appeal to a wide audience.
Maybe it is just me, but when I read "150 hour campaign" I think "150 hours to beat the game", not "150 hours to 100%". That is all I was getting at.Isn't that how most of these games are structured based on HLTB stats?
When someone puts such a different score towards a game without really showing why they do so. I wonder if they do it to just be controversial and get people to talk about that website.The entire GI review is weird. The comparision to tales of Arise in particular as tome of the praise for that, like character and story, we're mostly complaints in other reviews.
Even then, nothing in the review seems to indicate a 7.25.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review | RPG Site
Between an exceptionally well-written cast, a deeply satisfying combat system, and an amazing adventure that remarkably earns its very long run time, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a JRPG masterpiece.www.rpgsite.net
10/10 from RPG Site

The next game to be used as "the ubisoft game" in elden ring comparisons

that's why I post a lot of DF stuff. I like seeing how the sausage is madeI'm actually looking forward to this mostly because I want to see how much this is pushing the Switch hardware. I could care less about the FPS numberwang but DF's attention to / insight into things like how the games are made and rendering modes and stuff is fascinating.
can't wait for Design Docs good design/bad design
