    The xenoblade game for the switch 1 was okay but the way all the women were depicted was fucking creepy and weird

      The worst part is, I consider myself a bit of a gooner; I like alluring, attractive characters. But that was meant to be a story-based game, and yet it designed so many jokes around attractive women dressing in rags, being clueless, easily offended, and seemed to design the story around an intense contact between a shonen hero and a large-breasted woman.

      At least in something like Stellar Blade, they evade the subject because they know there’s nothing constructive to say.

      I absolutely love XC1 and 3, and I enjoy XCX for everything that’s not its story, and…

      Yeah I totally agree with you. XC2 is cursed on many levels. It’s the one I just can’t replay and it’s mainly because of its characters and degenerate quirks. You’ve played the worst game of the series by far.

        It was fun. I never finished it but I did more or less enjoy what I played.

        But yeah. Cursed is a good word for many of the design choices

      3 mostly solved this, it was way more reasonable. 2 was a great game with fantastic voice acting that was really diminished by the character models.
