Nope that final boss theme is plodding and bad.

Xenoblade's might have a few to One Winged Angel. but One Winged Angel is pretty renowned when it comes to final boss themes, so evoking the same feeling when it plays is hardly a bad thing.

*pulls up to the curb, leans out, and slyly lifts sunglasses with middle finger* One Winged Angel was bad

Gonna have to agree with the peeps who think Xenoblade Chronicles's final boss theme is better than the one for that Gust game.

Mostly because I was listening to both outside of context and I couldn't stand listening to the Gust one after the first few seconds.

Well the plot of Atelier Ayesha is about saving your sister and the final boss theme is reflecting that. The plot of Xenoblade is about some crazy dude who thinks he's God so a One Winged Angel ripoff boss theme is appropriate for that.

No, but really the main reason is because the vast majority of people can't play it yet. It's only out in Japan.

I'm just saying that I think Xenoblade Chronicles's Final Boss music can stand on its own merits as a tune. If I heard Atelier Ayesha's song in the proper conditions, I might possibly have enjoyed it since it would have set the mood for what I've been doing, but as a standalone piece it kinda blows.

I really love snow areas, they're always my favorite with or without ice physics

Thanks for reminding me of Xenoblade's snow area which is so so good. There's ice slides in it, complete with insane wonky physics! You can (and you have to, it leads to a secret area) make a mile long jump from one of them! And in general it's refreshingly vertical instead of the same ol' same ol flat snowfields you see in every game ever.

Fallout 4 is uneven. It looks great in some places and like a PS2 game, worse than Fallout 3 even, in others. I don't know why, other than it's just Bethesda being Bethesda.

Fallout 4 could really just use some higher quality textures everywhere, especially the ground clutter. Makes me wonder what the texture settings below Ultra even look like.

The basic gameplay is similar but the new one is super bare bones with not as many gimmick modes or courts. It's a choice between graphics vs modes. It also has an online mode but not with friends for some dumb reason.

im excited to know that you don't even get the robots in xenoblade till like 30 hours in. so, much like the first game, I'll have done 50 gameplay hours and be nowhere close to finishing the game at that point, or ever. also I'm being completely honest

Seconding this. It seems like there's no distinction between skill levels in regular turf wars and most of the games end up extremely lopsided.

That's because Turf Wars is basically "Just for Fun" mode. The "For Glory" is the Ranked matches that open when you hit level 10. There the skill levels will be matched more evenly depending on your current rank.

At least, that's how it should work theoretically. :v:
