Platinum has been one of my favorite devs for years and I agree that I think they're just getting started. Would be so cool to get to walk into their offices, what a bunch of all-stars. Other than Bayonetta 1 & 2, Vanquish & The Wonderful 101(underrated) are my favorites of theirs. Looking forward to all the upcoming games they have announced including that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game(always wanted a TMNT game made by Platinum or Rocksteady).
The Xenoblade Chronicles X release date is actually December 4th, a Friday(according to wikipedia & amazon at least).
So glad they got copies out early, and that the embargo is up well before release date. Also more than one staff member playing it helps with different takes on the game so hopefully we hear back from Peter & Alexa when the game comes out.
I'm really glad I played the first game before this one so at least I know a lot of what's going on in terms of the game mechanics and systems, but even still it seems like so much in this new game is going to take me awhile to wrap my head around. Hopefully new players to the series can pick it up, the in game tutorials/manual was quite good in the first game too.
