So Xenoblade X has always been one of my favorite games and nothing has really managed to scratch that same itch, is Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion comparable? Or good? The “Explore an alien planet in your Arsenal as you battle against mechanical and organic enemies” line makes it sound just like XCX and makes me interested
Anyone?
>>739561915>comparable? Or good?No and No.
>>739562261Any elaboration? Any other info? I don’t know anything about what Titanic Scion is like…
>>739562797Its an action game set in an open world where you fight giant bosses.These things sound great until you realize they gel together at all. The open world just has you fighting mook enemies for gear that you will replace when you get to the next map. You can fly over to giant bosses but why would you when you can just load into arena to fight them from your home base? The main story is also super disjointed with twists introduced at the 11th hour and character development only happening after you've already killed those characters off. Its a hard game to recommend.
No Daemon X Machina is pretty shit and this is coming from someone the tried really hard to enjoy it. The combat is tedious and boring and the gameplay loop just isn't fun. The cherry on top is that the world is a pain to travel through. Overall the game isn't very fun. You'll never get another game like XCX again.
>>739562797It has a free demo.
>>739563174>You'll never get another game like XCX again.You should have elaborate that this is LITERALLY as they destroyed the XbX universe and sent everyone relevant to the main Xenoblade/saga universe, there is not reason to make another X.
>>739563174>You'll never get another game like XCX again.That makes me feel sad, I love the other XC games but none of them really play like how XCX didAre XCX and Daemon X Machina the only open world games with mechs?
>>739563454Yep. Unless you count MW5:Mercs but that game is more of a Mount and Blade sandbox instead. I do hope Marvellous can unfuck DmX. There is a good game in there somewhere but they have not found it.
>>739563603So the game is 50% off for 14 more hours, do you think I should try it or just leave it? (For reference I’ve already put 380 hours into XCX on Switch)
>>739563810Leave it until the complete collection comes out for a reduced price.
>>739561915I wish I was warned earlier that Titanic Scion is not a mecha game. You put on an Iron Man suit and fight either with guns or by swinging a melee weapon.The combat is decent and it's cool to explore the semi-large areas, but it's not Xenoblade X by any stretch.
>>739563939Did you just not look up anything about the game beforehand? The biggest complaint was that they ditched mechs and opted for power suits with a short mech super mode
>>739563939>I wish I was warned earlier that Titanic Scion is not a mecha game.Every Titanic Scion thread has been nothing but people complaining it was power armor and not mechs. I never really understood this complaint because mecha is far more saturated than power armor. You have like what, Anthem and Vanquish? And Anthem shutdown so you can't even play it.
Any positive opinions on DxM Titanic Scion?….At all?
>>739565567I really liked it. The customization was great, the combat wasn't deep, but once you start getting the mutation skills it gets fun. The soundtrack was good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE6sWJdJY3g
>>739561915Any shitty braindead mmo would fill your needs
>>739561915they fooled me with the first DxM and even bought the original Split pad pro that released along with the game, because they looked really cool, i still have those joycon but not the game
So I’m still torn, should I get DxM Titanic Scion while it’s 50% off? Have Marvelous titles been discounted to lower before? Or should I just save that money for the next Xenoblade especially since I was looking for something similar to XCX
>>739569348play the demo
>>739564319>mecha is far more saturated than power armorIs it? I feel like Armored Core is the gold standard and there really aren't many that replicate the gameplay, let alone the quality. If you have suggestions, for games specifically like Armored Core, then I'd love to hear it.Also, I know it's not a "power armor" game, but after a certain point in Fallout 4, you'll have so many fusion cores that you can just stay in your Power Armor indefinitely. Fallout 4 really made Power Armor a treat to play in.
>>739569562Yeah i dont know what that anon is on about, 3D mecha action games are pretty hard to come by
>>739561915now that we are talking about mecha gameshow are the Zone of Ender games? i love my Kojima slop and i have seen physical copies of the xbox 360 remasters very cheap
>>739569348https://www.instant-gaming.com/fr/19254-acheter-daemon-x-machina-titanic-scion-pc-steam/
>>739570504Theyre not Kojima games, his name was used for marketing by konami because he was friends with the actual creatorBut the games are both very good and should be played back to back. ZOE1 is short and sweet, think of it as the Virtuous Mission to ZOE2's Operation Snake Eater
>>739561915only thing dxm2 has going for it is a kind of classic hidden area that requires like, 5-8 real time hours of climbing to reach a hidden area and you can't save while doing so. the reward for doing so is undoubtedly not even close to worth it, but the fact that it exists is nice
I think I will skip the game in the end or until the next sale…. I just bought the Trails in the Sky remake as well and i want to buy the next Xenoblade at launchIs the Trails in the Sky remake better than DxM?
Oh yeah:>DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION, the latest title in the “DAEMON X MACHINA” series released in September, performed poorly and fell significantly short of the initial sales plan>Although sales increased significantly year on year due to the release of three new console game titles, a segment loss was recorded due to the underperformance of DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION and Browser Sangokushi Ten.Is this another sign to not get this game?
>>739570815>Theyre not Kojima games, his name was used for marketing by konami because he was friends with the actual creatormother fuckers, they achieve their goal and i got interested into the games lol
>>739564123I looked up videos and it looked the same as the original, even having many of the same parts. I didn't check what 4chan was saying about it, kind of like how I played AC6 without putting stock in what was said about it online so I didn't think it was Dark Souls with mechs.
>>739563392Nigger nobody is talking about the gayass story, if you even call that poorly written trash such.XBX simply sold like shit. Its remake sold even worse. If the continue with xenoshit they’ll stck with the main line games and iseally pump it with coomerbait like they did with 2 because that’s what those games are: cheap coomerbait entertainment.
>>739561915Yeah we're never going to get another game like Xenoblade X. The devs are far too gone especially after the shit with 2 and 3. I've long accepted that Xenoblade 1 on the Wii was a fluke.
>>739561915Ive play through the 1st and 2nd game, but they are nothing like XBC:X. Titanic Scion plays like a combination of a Mega Man game and a Monster Hunter game
>>739576474Iam afraid of this being true. XBC 3 was so rushed you can tell it looked like a expansion pack for 2
every time i replay X, my desire to ever replay any of numbered blade games diminishes further
>>739561915Its a long stretch but I'm going to throw this one of there by saying there was an old Korean MMO that had some very similar qualities of Blade X. Not 1:1 similar but definitely some similarities. It was a space sci-fi MMO called RF Online that was your usual point and click MMO. You play as one of 3 races all of which were enemies to each other and the game was open PVP with the other races. Each race had their own classes that were just normal MMO classes however 1 class would be like this super heavy hitting DPS class, all races had at least one like this. 1 race was like a race of machines that could fire off a giant powerful arm cannon. Another race was like a race of elves that had one class that could summon and the last race was like a race of humans but more manlet sized. This manlet human race had a super heavy hitting DPS class that lets them pilot a tank sized giant robot called a MAU(Massive Assault Unit) and it worked similar to how the skells worked in Xenoblade X. They had their own stats and gear and were great because they provide both tanking and DPS but if your MAU was about to run out of HP, you needed to jump out of them as they become destroyed if they run out of HP and the repair cost was too huge to bother. Repairing them was also similar to how it was in Xenoblade X. When playing that class it was like trying to manage 2 characters at once because of how different MAU's and normal characters were. People would often play a 2nd character just to fund that class because of how expensive it was to manage your robot.Sadly they couldn't fly, at least gameplay wise but at some point they had planned for a future update to go into space as the game only took place on this alien planet. Eventually the game shut down before they could release it. It sucks because there were test videos and promotion art and everything. That's why I think the Xenoblade devs had to have played this game once. The Blade series already feels like a MMO.
>>739561915the first DxM was alright2nd one is not even a mecha game, it's a powersuit game
>>739579006Also MAU's came in 2 types melee and ranged. Pic related is a melee type. Generally you could have up to 4 I think but costed a lot.
play the first one
>>739579187and ranged
>>739561915I enjoyed DxMTS but I can't really recommend it to anyone.
