great atmosphere and really cool core mechanic.

You get a better score the more minion's you belt off the stage, so it's not all bad.

Really funny this was discontinued not long before rumours of the blue macaw going fully extinct started surfacing. It's all Angry Birds Rio's fault!

i couldnt just make one review on the game so i made a note file and wrote out a bunch.

Filler: The Game

This game has the worst sound design/mixing of any video game ever created.

I was genuinely surprised at any time this game got even slightly good because of how rare it happens.

Fuck you.

Fuck this game.

How the fuck is this the sequel to my favorite game ever made.

I hate every single character in this game.

I refuse to believe the same person that designed FUCKING PYRA designed the XC3 characters. Monolithsoft is lying to us.

The only way I got through this game was by turning on the cheats with the DLC and making the game dirt easy.

I hope we see Rex's grave in XC3 so I can piss on it.

At some point in my life I will throw a physical copy of XC2 into a pit of fire.

No other game has made me think "Who in the everloving fuck on this dev team thought this was an acceptable decision" more than this game.

This game should be studied on how not to design a video game.

I cried when the credits rolled because I was so happy it was finally over and I never had to play it ever again.

Field skills are actually worst mechanic in any video game ever. This isn't an exaggeration. How in the actual fuck did the developers of this game put this in and think it was fine. I hope the fuckhead that thought of field skills and the bitches that refused to speak up about how shit they are all get demoted to working on Mario+Sonic at the Olympic Games.

OK SO THERE'S THIS RANDOM OBJECT THAT'S BLOCKING YOUR PATH AND YOU NEED LEVEL 4 FUCKING COCKRIDING TO PROGRESS SO EITHER SIT IN A MENU AND BOND BLADES FOR 2 HOURS UNTIL YOU FIND ONE THAT HAS A COCKRIDING SKILL OR YOU CAN FIND A BLADE THAT ALREADY HAS COCKRIDING AND LEVEL IT UP WHICH'LL TAKE FUCKING YEARS BECAUSE THEY ARE TASKS LIKE Find 20 Mechanical Parts AND YOU HAVE TO GO DO OTHER USELESS SHIT UNTIL YOU CAN EVEN PROGRESS WITH THWE STORY

This game made me hate our world a little bit more.

How do you make a combat system that is worse in nearly every way from the original.

In half of the cutscenes the music is so loud you can barely hear the dialogue.

at least the ending was good

THIS RULES!!!

very minimalist, very chill, despite deep ocean games usually being hoenstly terrifying to me

i suppose the abstract detached nature of the interface helped there, as opposed to staring with your (virtual) eyes deep into the abyss, like, say, submerged (another great game, but i mean yeah it's scary the deep ocean is scary, alien or not!)

cataloging the life discovered while trying to uncover the truth of what happened was so extremely... nice to do

mmm i'm happy

kratos: "boy... i must leave you... for i have an important mission..."

battle bus flies in

agent jonesy: "Woooah!!! You're Kratos, right? We need you... Come join us in Fort Night!!!"

kratos: hits griddy, hops in battle bus

atreus: "wjat the fuick"

First game to make me love games tbh, before they were just silly and fun but this shit meant something to 11 year old me man.

The complete opposite of Xenoblade 1. The story was uninteresting for about 70% of its runtime, but the combat is amazing. So complex, it took me 20 hours to actually understand all of this games systems. But it was a blast. I would actively look for overworld boss battles just to fight more.
Also. Zeke and Mórag>>>>> Rex and Tora. Sorry
