Do not attempt quests that require salvage until you level up your blades salvage skills or you feel really lucky blades can improve your salvage? oh god there's so much i don't know or understaaaaand

you guys seriously need to be collecting royalties from companies xenoblade 2 is currently downloading, I couldn't resist joining in the fun. I crunched out a solid amount of work on a day off and stayed in so gently caress it, right? I'm feeling like it's going to be hit or miss for me. Skyrim was a deifinite miss but I play more jrpgs than I do wrpgs so I'm thinking this is gonna be alright. Reading everyone's mixed reactions has been interesting so let's see what's up.

Finished chapter 1. The tutorial for combat is real bad but i think i get the basics. Its dumb af that i'm locked out of stuff like chain attacks that i know how to use from the first game until i hit the arbitrary tutorial point Also the game should tell you what "use overdrive" means in the blade menu before permanently switching a blade to another user. God drat that sucked. Also wow dont even try to bond with rare crystals until you raise your luck or you'll just waste it and get a generic blade. One positive thing i like is how the forging system from 1 was totally thrown out and replaced with something much much simpler to understand with no minigame associated. On another positive note holy poo poo the end chapter 1 cutscene is loving awesome.

I haven't played a Xeno game since Xenosaga on PS2. Would I be able to buy this and have a good time? I have played some Tales and Star Ocean games and have hated hated hated the combat, but I do have a pretty high tolerance for anime bullshit.

Also his phone probably doesn't actually sound better. Comparing the native sound on portable devices is like comparing crap vs poo poo anyways. Just use headphones or turn the sound off.

GigaPeon posted:So I got the Mario Odyssey bundle with the red Joycons and the right one seems to drop signal a lot, especially when I’m using them as two free controllers. I’m going to have to contact Nintendo for an RMA aren’t I. Do I need to send in my righty before they send me a new one? Yes you send it in first, and they will probably repair it and send it back instead of giving you a new one. Their turnaround time is super quick and paid overnight both ways, though. I was without Joy-Con for only 3 days, and that was back in March when everybody was sending in their Joy-Cons for the left Joy-Con issue. ErIog posted:I haven't played a Xeno game since Xenosaga on PS2. Would I be able to buy this and have a good time? Yeah, definitely. Xenoblade has absolutely nothing to do with Xenosaga except anime and weird semi-robotic people/armor. Xenoblade has a very unique action RPG combat system, though. It's almost MMO in practice. You might want to watch some videos first. enojy fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Dec 3, 2017 |

I'm really impressed by Switch as piece of hardware, but my one gripe is having to lug around the clip on buttons for portable multiplayer. Being able to pop the joycons off, flipping the stand out and being like "lets play a game" is so great but I feel like it's thunder is totally stolen while you are sliding on 2 little slabs of plastic you really didn't want to bring with you anyways. I always accidentally stick one of them on upside down too and have to fumble with getting it off.

Just came back from a friend's place where I showed off the Nine Parchments demo to a full four players, and after a bit of fumbling with controllers in the beginning (the single-joycon controls were proving to be unwieldy and buggy, but my friend fortunately has a Switch and had enough stuff for each person to have a full controller), it ended up being a big blast. Most of them don't have Switches, so I might double-dip on PC and Switch, but nonetheless I think I sold a few copies of that game. It's a lot of fun in local multi where the friendly fire and ability to combine beam attacks can lead to some shenanigans.

It depends on the game because the straps have the shoulder buttons that are "usable" compared to the recessed bullshit without them. I wouldn't want to play Mario Kart with the single joycons anyway, but I extra wouldn't want to play it without shoulders.

There's a bit more pop-in in big open areas like Gormott and the framerate stutters a bit when entering cities but I've been playing mostly portable tbh because I'll start playing on the TV then pull it out when I need the toilet and end up never putting it back in the dock.

One thing I'll say about Tittyblade 2 is that the fast travel is some of the silliest poo poo I've ever seen in a game. Cool, we just rescued a girl and now we have to escape from this ship. We obviously could just teleport to any previously found spot and do whatever but that doesn't count. That said it's a huge quality of life thing in a JRPG. Means that if you are stuck at a boss for instance you can gently caress off and do something else instead. I'm guessing it was implemented fairly late in the dev cycle.
