I will sleep now but I will leave you with this: Xenoblade 2 might not be that much weaker than 1 as although 1 is the better received game, 2 is where the franchise exploded in popularity. So Arkham City might not be bad.

haahaha. Are you serious? Xeno 1 would triple Xeno 2. The SFF is unreal. Cmon dude.

This is just A popular Switch JRPG doing well against what is a more mainstream game that this site doesn't care about as much...but it's Batman

PUt Xenoblade 2 up agaisnt something like Bioshock Infinite...Xenoblade 2 probably wins it. In fact i'm pretty certain it would because Batman would beat Bioshock harder here.

Xenoblade 1 would destroy Batman.

It doesn't matter what Xenoblade 1 would do to 2 head to head
i think public opinion on Infinite has soured over time for some reason, but at launch it was super well received and it’s still my personal favorite of the three.

Even indirectly. Its at least worth double or close to it.

Xeno 1 probably gets around 60-65% on Batman here.

pretty sure infinite is the most critically acclaimed Bioshock in the series. and i have never even played any of them

In terms of popularity, I'd say it goes 1 > Infinite > 2.

Isn't Infinite considered the worst game in the series? And Arkham City is a lot of people's favorite game in that series. So it should be a one sided beatdown

It’s really complicated. When Infinite came out it was right up there with the original and won a ton of awards. However, it had probably the steepest fall from grace of any game (with the possible exception of Dragon Age Inquisition). Fans really turned on it for its story and shoddy handling of sensitive themes. Now it is probably regarded as more significant and interesting than 2 but the hardcore fans likely prefer 2.

But on this site? What has infinite done exactly? I'm not talking the general mass. Of course infinite was well received. I just don't think it has any sort of strength here.

They both had similar performances in 2015. Arguably Arkham City did a little better, but we're also five years older.

Arkham city struck me as capable of getting 56% on infinite, which was just enough for me to pick it with confidence.

Of course, I felt the same way about The Walking Dead vs Bastion!

This isn't 2015. I'l extrapolate that Batman right now is barely getting 55% on Xenoblade 2. So with that in mind it its not doing anything to Xeno 1.

The difference between Xeno 1 and 2 is enormous. 1 is universally acclaimed and respected game.

2 just has a hardcore Switch fanbase because its one of their first JRPG's they played. And that alone is enough to put 45% on friggin Batman.

Not sure how those stats are calculated, but the difference between Batman and Bioshock in 2015 is the difference you would take between Final Fantasy X and Resident Evil 4 in 2015.

Don't care to play it

The only COD game i have any sort of nostalgia for is COD4. and Yes COD was big even on Gfaqs back then. But when you release the same game over and over your'e gonna lose its hardcore fans and followers.

COD is just a yearly rehash now. I think the more CODS they released the lesser the older games become. But the origin of the COD phenomenon started with COD4. And that game still has a ton of respect.

acclaim and respect only count for so much if people haven’t played your game

XB2 sold a bunch more and as far as I can tell wasn’t poorly received critically. I don’t see 2 being significantly weaker than 1.

Persona 5 should be higher. Definitely higher than ME2. GTAV is definitely bottom yes

BOTW>Witcher3>Smash>Skyrim>DArk Souls = PErsona 5>ME2>>>GTAV

I'd probably put Bloodborne ahead of GTAV.

This is Gamefaqs.com where Chrono Trigger is amongst Elite tier game

So going on about how many people have played it

Also of course Xenoblade 2 sold more. It was riding off the hype of 1 and was on a more popular platform. Wii was dead by the time Xenoblade came out and was delayed 2 years

Watch Xeno1 outsell Xeno 2 comfortably on Switch in lifetime sales.

Stop bringing Sales into a Gamefaqs contest discussion. They mean f*** all.

How may copies has Diablo 3 sold across ALL platforms?

How many copies has Zero escape sold?

yeah thought so.
