xc2 has a spectacular final set of chapters that leave the game on an incredibly high note

#24014

xc2 also has the Nothing Personnell Kid thing happen within the first fucking hour of the game played completely straight

#24015

again i have to stress that this video game is Good. it’s just, like. Why the fuck is its’ opening like that

#24016

REX’S SCREAM

#24018

witness peak

#24019

whats really funny is that the actual ancient vessel sequence is really cool and then the game hits you with all of its’ most baffling decisions in a row

‘place your hand on my chest’
the nothin personnel kid moment
rex scream
malos dab…god the whiplash of seeing malos and jin’s designs sent me
rex eating animation
the entire torigoth section sans tora

it’s so peak

#24021

its also when you learn that malos’s english va seems to be on a completely different page to the rest of the vas about what kind of game he’s in, which makes his genuinely well-done performance completely absurd in context

having the extra party members is quite fun
and yeah uh
end of chapter 1 all the way through to the start of uraya is Questionable

#24023

then the game becomes good and just occasionally pulls out some high-tier bullshit, like “jin can go ftl due to how cold he is”

#24024

oh yeah absolutely
it gets better in torna so I feel confident in saying it was a va director issue but yeah

#24025

“I control all elementary particles”

I love Rex being able to match Jin’s speed and Rex saying “idk why but i’m not complaining” when asked

it’s brainrot

#24027

the narrative becomes significantly better too is the funny part. like it actually gets really in to just. how fucked up the existence of Blades actually is. and then occasionally some fucker or another comees into the scene, Zeke in the first half, Jin in the second, and then we exist in the bullshit dimension again

#24028

i still lose it every time i rewatch the “honestly i dont even know any more” cutscene. the funniest fucking line in the game

#24029

it’s not even a mistake! like, it works! it’s also the funniest possible decision to make writing-wise. “why are you doing this?” “honestly i dont even know any more”

#24030

and like it is completely in-character and makes sesne for himt o do this. its just that he doesn’t know why the fuck he’s doing the thing he’s doing, so even though there is an internal logic to it, it comes off as “uh im doing it for no reason”

#24031

“i hate everything. fuck this shit.”

#24032
