Kaubocks posted:Yeah I'm going in knowing there's a bajillion sidequests so I'm just doing the ones that either: The sidequests that autocomplete are the mostly inconsequential ones that don't really add much of anything. The sidequests that are given by named NPCs are the ones that'll really add to area affinity, which is important for getting more sidequests and unlocking things like more skill trees. Pressing B is contextual, sometimes you or an ally's missed an attack so someone's going to cheer them up. Other times, someone's done a critical hit and are getting praised by it. Some Talent Arts also have B prompts for extra effects, but those are self explanatory. I think the general idea with items you can keep and items you can sell is that you can sell the ones that have a small deflated bag icon that don't have like a shine or anything.

I have heard they are bad. Worse than the normal sensor bar. I was thinking of getting one and did a little research and decided against.

majormonotone posted:Your main options are really Mario Kart, Smash, Nintendo Land, and Mario Party 10. Also while the Mario games are technically co-op, they're the "dick over your friends" variety - SM3DW even tracks score at the end of every level and gives a crown to whoever comes in first (and you can steal it) There's also Wii Party U, which is good and maybe the better choice for people that go into a frothing rage over the idea of the car thing in Mario Party and don't want to play the Amiibo mode.

Seconding this. It's also better for playing with non-gamer friends and the virtual table top games own.

I'm replaying Chrono Trigger on the Wii VC right now, and I think its managed to lull me into just the right state of JRPG nostalgia that I may try another stab at Xenoblade Chronicles. I own Xenoblade Chronicles, on disc no less, but I think I only got 20 hours in? I'll take another stab after this Chrono run, which I might add feels thoroughly refreshingly new considering I must have NewGame+-ed a million times on cartridge (all characters had mostly ** stats from grinding tabs and I know everyone had a gold-pin so that's AT LEAST 7 playthroughs...).

Man Xenoblade is pretty awesome. It's super JRPG, but a lot of the problems I have with the genre are fixed. The story is actually interesting so far (just killed Copper Face in sector 6 ) and while it has a lot of poo poo going on gameplay-wise I don't really feel oversaturated by it. Also, love the Shulk-Reyn bromance, the B prompts to cheer on one another in the middle of a fight are pretty cool. Also also: gently caress is the british VA great. Makes the game. I just got Dunban as a new party member, but honestly I can't really justify changing him for either Reyn or Sharla. Those two + shulk make the perfect tank/healer/dps team and Shulk just has too much utility to replace. Unrelated to all this: anyone know how can I clean blood from a WiiU gamepad? I used a moist towel to clean the screen and that's fine, but there's some dried blood on the screen borders and I can't get it off.

Don't be afraid to mix up your party, you'll really regret it. Even though Tank+Healer+DPS "feels" natural, a lot of times it ends up being bad. Shulk+Reyn+The Character You Just Got is actually a very, very good combo, especially when you're just dicking around the area you're heading to and doing quests. There are a lot of good party combos, and very few of them are unusable (though the AI can be kind of bad at Sharla and another caster you'll get). Xenoblade really isn't built around having a primary healer in your party and Sharla suffers for it. Except for a couple of end-game sidequest superboss fights here and there, the fights tend to play out a lot better (both in terms of ease and going more quickly) if you stick with a damage or general utility character that happens to heal than you will with Sharla.

Thanks, I'll give it a try then since this new dude is Anime Super Rad. The Ai is certainly pretty bad, and I saw a huge improvement in non mechon fights when I started controlling Reyn and actually keeping aggro. Too bad my only Topple chain link combo needs to start with Shulk. noirstronaut posted:Q-tip and hydrogen peroxide Alright, I knew peroxide breaks it down but I was a bit afraid it would hurt my gamepad  Rexroom posted:What are you, a living anime character?

If you use skill links to give everyone Shulk's skill that heals after a chain attack, and Reyn's skill that heals when encouraging someone, that gives you enough healing for most of the early game. Later you'll get a character with a nice group heal who also contributes to damage much more than Sharla can. Also Dunban is a dodge tank so he often won't need healing much anyway.

Saoshyant posted:No, seriously, there's a story behind how you'd drench a gaming controller with blood and I must know the how/why. Don't leave us hanging. Well, a couple of friends and I decided to play a 1v1 Smash tournament at my place. We got high and drunk and played several improvised tournaments for like 5 hours. Now, Pablo is a pretty bad player and a really sore loser, so after half the night was gone the guy was completely red and yelling every time he missed a grab or someone did an air dodge. When he lost the last game he got up furious and started ranting about air dodge being a total poo poo move, how it should have no place in any game, and that air dodging was impossible to do anyway. We told him that, well, whatever I’m playing a pink ball that eats plumbers and shoot stars, what’s an air dodge got that’s so odd? he would not budge so one of us decided to show him how air dodging was totally a thing. So for ten minutes we threw stuff at him while he jumped from the sofa to the floor trying to dodge the things. To his credit he did manage to avoid a few of them. This just made Pablo angrier and he started bashing anything he could think about the game, including calling Zelda a second rate Peach. That got Manu super angry because, you see, Zelda is his waifu IRL so then they started hitting each other. Pablo grabbed two nunchucks and started twisting them around like some kind of fat nerdy Bruce Lee in a remake of The Wizard. Manu used the Gamepad as a shield and the rest of us kept throwing poo poo at them yelling for them to jump and dodge. I grabbed some paint that I had laying around after I painted my sex dungeon blue and pretended I was a squid. Then, after the fight was over and everyone went home, I was putting things away and my nose started bleeding, some drops falling on top of the gamepad. I might have flourished the story a little bit.
