Its disappointing that Nintendo had to implement a form of DRM for a soundtrack we had already purchased in the special edition.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. So at the present it is little more than a paper weight. The tracks themselves are gated behind a form of DRM that has for some users locked their particular drive. My biggest gripe is with the soundtrack that is on the USB device. The special edition also comes with a matted art card which is very nice.

The pages are glossy with a varnish applied to certain images that really give it a premium quality finish. *****SPECIAL EDITION REVIEW***** _ I would like to now take this time to review the special edition. The game offers hundreds of hours of content and is easily worth the $60. Overall Xenoblade X is a fantastic game that shouldn't be missed if you are a WiiU owner. So it is imperative to know when to use your skell and when to save it from destruction. Once you lose an arm or something, this can prevent you from using a specific art in that fight. However like attacking appendages of your enemies in ground combat? Enemies can also attack individual parts of your skell. In combat your Skell's equipment determines what arts you can use. The Skells themselves are expensive and can be destroyed in combat. Skells themselves offer different combat and traversal options including the ability to fly. This doesn't happen until 30+ hours into the game but is rewarding once you do. The biggest selling point of the game is getting your own mech (Skell). Some of the story missions unfortunately are gated behind side missions. The story is intriguing though suffers from stiff presentation and dialogue at times. It is a bit disappointing that even after creating a character to your liking your character is essentially a blank slate with no real personality to speak of. The options are fairly straightforward and get the job done. You start the game by creating a character of your own. But it can also be rewarding to explore these menus on your own and learn how its systems work with one another.
XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X INSIDIA MOHAWKS MANUAL
Fortunately the game has a on disc manual that can be accessed from the gamepad. If there was ever a game you wanted to read the manual or guide for? This is that game. Some of the menus can be a bit dense and you aren't given a lot of explanation.

The game can be difficult at times but has a decent curve. The game doesn't hold your hand and it also doesn't pull any punches. The Witcher 3 could fit in Xenoblade X three times while Fallout 4 could fit inside X's world 5 times. Speaking of scale its been estimated that Xenoblade X is larger than the worlds of the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 combined. Despite its few graphical shortcomings however the game still manages to impress with its sheer artistry and scale.

There are also instances of clipping where a car will pass right through your characters. Alpha texture resolution can create uneven edges around objects. You can notice where a few concessions had to be made however. Visually the game is punching above its weight. Like its predecessor this game pushes the WiiU to its limits. Xenoblade X is the spiritual sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii.
