For something that is called Xenoblade Chronicles 2, it looks like it has just as much in common as XCX had with the first Xenoblade. At least the soundtrack will be good this time around.

After the Nopon Village, XC basically becomes insane anime garbage with nothing but dominatrix outfits for all the female characters, so I can see the similarities.

Happy Mario Day!

I've done all my errands for the weekend! I get off work in 6 hours, Mario will be in my mailbox in 4 hours.

I plan on playing for a few hours tonight, watching Stranger Things 2, and waking up early tomorrow to play some more.

I love waking up early in the morning to make some coffee and play games before my girlfriend wakes up.

Finishing weekend errands before the weekend and then waking up early before my wife is one of the best ways to kick off Saturday. You know what's good in life!

yeah, i haven't wrote off the game completely it's just gone from "day one purchase" to "wait and see for a few months later how people compare it to the first game". like i feel like monolith definitely understands why they're naming it xenoblade chronicles 2 so they've surely gotta be making some right steps in the gameplay department but - at the risk of sounding dramatic - everything they've shown has made me embarrassed to be excited in the first place. when they first teased that xc2 was a thing i'd turn to my wife who is not familiar with the first game and go "oh poo poo, this is awesome, xenoblade chronicles kicked rear end!!" and then every trailer beyond that is just like "yo here's a huge titty preteen sword girl" and "grandpa turtle slowly explains the intricate politics of the world" and i wither away and die

fuckin far cry from my intro to XC being "the world was nothing but water but then two sickass robots appeared out of nowhere and battled to the death"

Motion control hating Debbie Downer here...

So Mario has two basic hat functions:
1 - throw hat forward
2 - spin hat around himself

There are two hat throwing buttons on the controller.
Y - throw hat forward
X - throw hat forward

Even with motion controls set to off you still have to flick the controller to spin the hat around Mario.

That is lame and it sucks. So far it's the coolest move in the game but a wrist injury basically prevents me from doing it. Why doesn't the X button do this?

Hair is also part of your body. Although it is technically dead mass so I guess that could be argued.

Yeah I don't get this as well. I'm playing on the Switch itself right now cause I'm too lazy to switch over my monitor and poo poo. Why can't I do the hat twirl without flicking the controller? That seems like a weird oversight.

Also I'm gonna be real: in typical 64 and Sunshine fashion I find myself fighting with the camera quite a bit

You have to let go of the pro controller with your right hand and flick it with your left.

This is even with motion control set to off in the options. I can't find any other way to do that hat spin move with just buttons.

And it's a pain because the game is obviously designed around that move, considering how many circles of coins there are that the hat spin will pick up instantly but anything else is quite tedious.

I was patching my system 'cause I thought I could further disable motion controls according to hearsay (lies) and I decided to check the news since I rarely have my system online.

The news told me that Shovel Knight was on sale.

Mario Day is a good day.

I did everything people on the internet said, port forwarding, DMZ, assigned a static internal IP for the Switch. Hell I'm even paying for a static IP address now. What else could be possibly the problem?

This is a real long shot but do you happen to have two routers?

Motion control explain post!

First of all, the setting for motion controls and sensitivity in the options is in the Camera Controls section and thus will not actually affect anything you do for most of the game. I know, it took me a while to notice too. It only adjusts the first person aiming sections.

Secondly, you *can* do all of the moves without motion but it's usually more awkward. For spin throw, just spin the stick around a bit until mario is spinning, then throw (this is also how you spin jump). For downwards throw, ground pound then throw immediately afterwards. For upwards throw, this one's tricky but you need the lock-on arrow to appear on something above mario and he'll aim for you (same thing works with downwards throw). No, wait, actually I don't think there's any way to do the extended homing throw without motion, I lied.

Either way I don't see any reason they couldn't map these to buttons. I'm hopeful they might patch it in like they did to ARMS.

Oh, you need to hit the ground first and let go of ZL. Which, yes, lessens the usability quite a lot. Also if you hit the ground, continue holding ZL, and then press Y, you will instead do a sonic spindash and blast off.

Thanks for the explanation but Jesus Christ that's obnoxious, especially considering the R trigger isn't even used in the game. Why not use that as the obvious modifier button?

What about :
Y - forward hat throw
X - spinning hat throw
X+ZR - throw hat up
Y+ZR - throw hat down

heck, you could even add these functions too:
B+ZR - long jump
A+ZR - spin in place

Why couldn't those exceedingly simple and effortless-to-internalize controls have been used?

So. Our story begins already in progress with our hero fighting his archenemy in a warship. The hero fails, falling from the sky, after which he makes contact with a small spirit and gains a new power as a result of his previous failure. Our hero then embarks on a globe trotting journey where he has to visit fantasy counterparts of real countries and environments, including a desert, the arctic, and a pastiche of New York City.
