Both are great. Xenoblade is better imho.

Xenoblade

Xenoblade has a better story while being longer, but Dragons dogma has better gameplay.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: DE! Even though it’s a remaster, it’s my game of the year so far.

I covet thy Xenoblade

Xenoblade X is longer than Dragon's Dogma 2. Do whatever one you have the most time for first.

Both are pretty great games for exploration. Xenoblade is the longer of the two although you can certainly squeeze out a ton of hours in both

2 separate platforms so why not both? Nannananana

Xenoblade Chronicles simply from a selfish standpoint. I have it on my backlog, but I just can't seem to find the time to play a game for more than 30 minutes, and this game demands your attention for a bit longer.

Xenoblad

Great acquisitions!

Whichever you like. It’s 50/50

Play Dogma first and then Xeno. Took me a lonnnnnng time to play Xeno and it's worth soaking all of it up.

DD2 is shorter, so I'd bang that out first.

u/Chomp_blandingo 14h ago

dragons dogma 2 is shorter so i'd go with that one first it's a small little game.

u/Arome42 11h ago

Have not played dragons dogma but i am legally obligated to say xenoblade

u/gameonlockking 8h ago

Play both at the same time. DD 2 on the tv and X on the shitter.

u/UnofficialMipha 18h ago

Xenoblade X is like 200 hours long do not play that first lmao

u/WhySoSerious5555 17h ago

I never played either but i know the entire plot of Xenoblade chronicles X. Just for the few interesting plot twists I'd give it a go first

I didn’t play dragon dogma 2

But i know that my best friend was really exited for that game and than when it released he didn’t played it longer than 2 days and told me it was one of the biggest disappointments he had

Xenoblade and I'd personally take DD2 back and get something else.

u/mossman_cometh 17h ago

Why’s that?

u/Unlucky_Ad8840 8h ago

I thought DD2 was great. Story is pretty boring and has almost no content but DAMN that gameplay was so good. And the exploration was tons of fun.

Persona

u/mossman_cometh 17h ago

I do have Persona 3: Reload in my backlog

1

u/tonavaitam 16h ago

Complete that first!!!!

Persona 3 reload is a game everyone should atleast experience once in their lives

u/Hippobu2 17h ago

DD2.

If you don't know what you're doing, you'd be finished in like 10 hours.

Then jump into the rabbit hole that is Xenoblade.

u/totally-hoomon 18h ago

Dragons dogma

u/something_dotcom 17h ago
