Why did the switch rerelease of Xenoblade Chronicles X seem to fly so under the radar?

I was surprised to recently learn that Xenoblade X already released on the Switch a year ago, which I somehow completely missed. I played the game back in the day on the Wii U and loved it, it was a super complex and unique game. I assumed it would make a big splash whenever the rerelease happened and sell many times as many copies as it did while confined to the Wii U, but looking it up, it doesn't seem to have done all that much better compared to its sales on its former console with ~1/10th of the user base. Why not?

How hard is horde night in the wasteland compared to the forest?

Can I do my usual and pop down a couple steel pillars with a concrete catwalk above and some spikes around the pillars at the bottom and expect to do fine just shooting everything with my m60? Or are explosive enemies gonna blow the ground beneath me to bits and screw me over or something?

I'm on insane difficulty, level 61, day 35, with game stage 523 while in wasteland.

tsukihime is so semen

Context: The empathetic, soft protagonist has just spent multiple paragraphs sappily professing their love of a different character and their desire to save them from their peril at any cost. This character then refuses to help the protagonist save their love interest.

Naturally, our protagonist immediately rolls out the threats of sexual violence. Incredible writing, not jarring at all, very in character.

Reading the original VN now, but is the remake also worth reading?

I'm nearing the end of my first route (Ciel) in the original VN (the web version) and just learned that the remake apparently expands the script a ton. I chose to read the original since I heard the remake was still missing half the game's routes and figured the original would be the complete experience, but am I missing out?

Is the remake worth reading after I finish the original?

What to read first for Fate/Tsukihime?

Hi, I'm looking to get into Type-Moon's visual novels. In the past, I've enjoyed the Sci;Adv VNs and all of the When They Cry VNs.

Should I read Fate or Tsuikihime first? I'm leaning towards Tsukihime (the original, not the remake with missing routes) at the moment.

Arbitrarily banned from videos, yet another mod team blatantly enforcing their personal beliefs onto posters without warning

Naturally, there's nothing listed in the rules that warns that this might happen. Post with 500 upvotes and 550 comments, including many active discussions, nuked. Do these people realize that there's nothing that makes the experience of using this site worse than having a post randomly removed or locked while you're trying to have a conversation with someone, wasting all of your time?

Whatever happened to the planned sequel "Steins God?"

I remember this being announced years ago, but now there's no talk of it and there's just some pointless new edition of the original VN with new art and cut dialogue being made instead? IIRC it was supposed to be a Chaos Child-esque sequel to Stein's Gate with new characters but the same time travel stuff
