>>18543323>But judging from your post you just got burnt out by that stuff in the 00s.A lot of us oldagefags got burned by the mid-00s gayming industry : MMOs being shilled and every so often a competitor of WOW would sprout but it was free(TM) and people laped it up, every FPS out there was either a copy of Gaylo or every military shooter on motherfucking console and the Doomstyle faded away completely, QTEs and God of War clones started happening, despite GoW being a failed DMC clone etc
It was a mess.
As for
>I agree with these similartities, but I wouldn't knock the xenoblade games for doing that.Apart from 2, like the anons above mentioned with the utter bullshit team compositions, gacha shit, team abilities, not being able to trade Blades etc I wouldn't knock X at least. 1 I don't care anyways anymore but I don't like the story in if we're being square with each other. X has nice exploration, giant mechs that are usable in a great capacity, unbound freedom, interesting class mechanics I can kinda overlook the gameplay system. Like I said in another Xeno topic some months ago, it seems like Xeno2 would be a /m/an's dream game with all the mecha and toku artists on the special blades, nice references etc but a lot of shit bog it down.
