    Recently i played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in Switch, because XC3 was very good and XC1 was even better. So i heard the community praising it, and i gave it a try. Man i hate this game so much, i really had years to play something just only to finish the story. This is the reason to always check both sides.

      This is the exact game that came to my mind. Overwhelming positive reviews for a game that seems like it was created using Grandma’s description of “those funny Japanese cartoons my grandson watches” as the main creative direction. I know JRPGs are gonna have weeb elements but I didn’t expect the entire game to be capturing big tiddy anime girls to beat your enemies “with friendship”. Every boss you beat suddenly comes back alive and beats you in the cutscenes. Your still learning new game elements 40 hours in. One of your main teammates is a Jar Jar Binks character obsessed with building his own sex slave robot. My number one most hated game that i actually best mostly because I kept playing it thinking “at some point this has to stop being a pile of weeb dog shit and develop into a real game right?”

        • Navigation was frustrating bad.
        • the mechanics until the 3/4 of the game were slow and not that fun.
        • dialogs felt bad and unfinished, also english VA was really bad.
        • the UI in general was bad.
        • the story felt shallow and the characters didn’t grow. Especially Rex felt as one of the worst protagonists.
        • Gatcha mechanic …
        • oversexualization of almost all female blades.
        • i won all boss fights, but the cutscenes kept showing that i was losing
        • i fought the last boss maybe 4 or 5 times.
        • i didn’t care for the world, because of the way that the game introduced it to me.

        And many more. In general felt as an unfinished game, that they released just to hit the date. I don’t know how it has 83 metacritic score…

          Definitely agree on gacha and oversexualization. I played with Japanese audio, so can’t comment on English VA. The rest I didn’t have an issue with, but I can see why someone else would.
