USB-C seems to be a complete "here there be dragons" shitshow right now. I took a flyer on an extension cable (designed specifically for the dock) so I could keep my Switch docked but not in the dock and it's working great so far.

Hope it doesn't randomly burn my house down :pray:

Can you post a link to the one you bought?

Like Mario it really seems like the people interested in that need their own thread. So one of you go do that please thank you.

I love that Monolith had a winning formula with the first Xenoblade and decided "let's crash this poo poo into Anime Mountain" and its been downhill from there.

At least their sense of scale and art direction is second to none.

I remember your first Xenoblade thread and the joy I had importing it in from the UK, softmodding my Wii, and playing the poo poo out of Xeno1. Sure X1 has its share of stupid boobwindow clothes but for the most part the characters and the voice acting were actually really competent and had an art style to them that was very restrained and good. All the characters in your party had bright personalities and fun quips.

XCX went overboard with realistic bodies and nightmarish anime faces. XC2 is a huge mishmash of clashing artists when it comes to the characters, idk what to think except "well it can't be as bad as XCX with Min's disgusting Cabbage Patch face that I hid under a helmet at all times.

XC had terrible character designs to begin with, they look like rejected character designs from ff12, not a good look

Somehow it's gotten 10x worse with each subsequent XC title and frankly it's drat impressive

This is definitely not a lie



I realize this might be a big ask but can anyone give a quick summary of XCX' story? I stopped playing almost immediately after getting to the first town because there were just so many words.

Which sucks because I liked the brief summary of "humans on an ark, in space" and I'm curious how that ended up.

aliens hosed us up from earth so we made a mad dash into an Ark ship for a few years then crashed into a habitable planet. said aliens want to gently caress us harder so we now have battalions to explore the environment and fight back against mystery aliens who apparently have a hatred for humanity. there's more to it but it'd get into spoiler territory, I think, regarding the ultimate goal of why you need to push onward and seek out a second part of your crashed ship. that's the bare essentials of the plotline, really.

Also a mystery race of aliens helped us escape as well but that gets explored much later.

I never got far on XC1 -- I had the Wii version, ended up trading it in for the 3DS version, regretted that 'cause the game looked even worse there, never got past the big neon marsh place. Never played XCX at all based on the poor reviews.

But now I'm all set for XC2.

oh the whole main story of XBX was so loving dumb, it's clear they shelved actual storytelling and instead tried to shoehorn multiplayer aspects in its place and it failed miserably. Even the main dude said in their next game (XC2) they'd put more emphasis on the story.

It's a shame really because XBX had the foundation for a really interesting story but managed to gently caress it up in classic Xenosaga fashion.

That's probably what made me the maddest about XCX. The foundation was clearly there for a good game but they tried to do poo poo like make the quasi-multiplayer MMO poo poo fix somehow. Also the world tyrants needed a consumable item to fight them and the item was a tedious-as-poo poo grind to get, or something equally stupid. XCX just screamed "we wanted to make an MMO but couldn't."

The important thing is that the Octopath Traveller demo was real good and that game is almost certainly going to rule.

I just don't see why every Blade design warrants this. As it stands, they don't even seem to be significant characters, just an effort to give variation to what are essentially collectible side characters that exist for the same of battle variation.

Pyra is one thing because she's a principle character, but everyone else? It's like getting mad all the Fire Emblem Heroes cards are drawn by different people.

I guess we just have different standards, everything about XC2 other than the landscapes seems aggressively mediocre and there's only so much time to play cool new games

You're the one who was talking about the consistency of the universe and how none of the designs "fit together".

But aside from that they're weapon people without physical bodies. If anything justifies looking weird and different from everything else in the universe.
