I disagree. I played all of their console games and I'm really hyped for the game. I don't understand the negative reactions at all.
I'm looking forward to the Nier 2 gameplay thread.

Disagree with what part of my post?
I watched the extended gameplay trailer again last night (with sound finally) and it just seems like a game that I will greatly enjoy playing. That tweet makes it sound even better.
Weapon durability? Nooooooo

You didn't see the number on the sword in the UI?

I voted "Hate all of you" mostly out of principle.
That said, I watched the trailer, and wow am I positively surprised. This game looks fucking amazing. It looks like an action RPG. I was expecting pure action, but this looks really cool.
e: I didn't like the look of the main character though. Standard buzz cut Caucasian thirty something guy, ugh

Whoa. How the heck does Xenoblade Chronicles X manage to have better run animations than a Platinum made game

meh everyone hated bayonetta when the design was first shown, comments ranged from whey are her legs so long, to why does she look like sarah palin, but the game was so good and stylish to neogaf that they started loving her. kinda like wind waker link, when the first trailer was shown at e3 everyone was pissed as how link looked, then they started loving it.

Drew Scanlon on the latest Bombcast (paraphrasing here): "This game looks like a game like there are others out there that I don't know exist."

Can't wait to have more details about the game. Sounds intriguing.

This is the only time where I think the 'Looks inspired by Xenoblade' crap I keep seeing with every RPG reveal actually holds any weight.
True. Here's hoping the game cleans up nicely in a year.

I believe, bring it on ign, don't disappoint me now. I want to see the cities.
Scalebound still seems to run pretty rough, so it feels like they're demonstrating it too early. Presented the right way, I can see this game getting quite a bit of attention, but like this the audience is going to be a lot more limited.
I don't mind people calling Scalebound a JRPG, but I don't like the way this is phrased. A person who's looking to play a JRPG on the Xbone may have needs that this game doesn't satisfy. It's like how a person who wants to play a CRPG on the 3DS may not be satisfied by an Etrian Odyssey game.
Look man X1 owners ain't going to get a lot of JRPGs, so they better be satisfied with what they get TBH

1998 called, it wants it's Godzilla back.
Seriously though, I'm not as bowled over as I'd hoped. Looks like you aim the right stick and press a button to direct your monster, while slowly slicing up generic human enemies and other monsters.
And of course they threw in the arm that's covered in the theme of the game, and of course he transforms into a dragon warrior dude.

Looks like Dragon's Dogma with an extremely annoying main character and shitty music.

IQ differences aside, the atmosphere in those Xenoblade gifs is damn amazing and I feel trumps Scalebound quite handily... There's a lot of potential for this game to be amazing with polish, but I just hope the world holds up. Stupid to be worried with so little seen however; already judged initial gameplay as okayish, but IGN Extended Demo looked much better already. Praying this game is given all the time it needs to be perfect (delay to 2017 if necessary).

To me it has the exactly same sense of style then other Platinum games. Also, I'm pretty safe the battles are gonna be very frenetic later in the game since this simple, short demo, and certainly from an early section of the game, already has shown some pretty exciting dragon / big monster battles.
Idk, I think that with those clothes (they are very stylish) + Dragon arm + Dragon he is already distinct enough and tbh I found that his transformation is the one that looks kind of boring =P
Oh well, at least they already nailed the cocky personality that I love from Kamiya characters so I'm fine =P

I thought it was Xenoblade too
fuck that's scary.
Nero from DMC4 also uses his sword and gun with his left hand, if that's your thing.
Actually his and the Scalebound guy's set up is the same, use weapon with the left hand and have a devil/dragon right arm. Nero also wore headphones lol.

He seems like a Nero with somewhat DMC3 Dante's personality.

Oh sorry, this was said after they watched the press release. None of them were there this year.
