> Yeah I feel they could be more cinematic like XXL 1 but I still love it for what it is, gives off some nice theme park vibes How convinient that Las Vegum is an amusement park :pauselix:

PegPeregoGaucho

PegPeregoGaucho

Feurus Fuchsus

i do prever XXL 2's soundtrack over XXL 1 but yeah, the main problem is how short it is :PES_SadGe:

PegPeregoGaucho

PegPeregoGaucho

no way

PegPeregoGaucho

the soundtrack has way less themes and those few themes are mostly under a minute long, so you hear the same theme over and over and over and over and ov.... :PogC:

Mr.Rubinshtein

XXL2 has its own charming music

Mr.Rubinshtein

i would say its in some ways kinda melancholic music

Mr.Rubinshtein

interestingly

I've always had the feeling that most effort in this game was put on how to locate all the game references...

Mr.Rubinshtein

XXL2 put effort into everything

Mr.Rubinshtein

design gameplay

Mr.Rubinshtein

music

Mr.Rubinshtein

can we consider XXL 2 developers as one of the first fan service inventors?

Mr.Rubinshtein

I didn't say they didn't put effort in other things, just that most effort went into that: locations, characters, plot, even part of the gameplay design (the less good parts imo) revolves around other game references. And I think that limited the game as a whole. And no, fanservice has existed since decades ago, it was in the 90's in The Simpsons and a lot of animes.

Mr.Rubinshtein

i see

Yeah that’s my point :TotalKappa:

I wish it was longer and a bit more intense for battle themes but I still love it
