I'm enjoying the soundtrack, but none of the songs so far have really stuck out to me. Like nothing comes close to the first time I entered Satorl Marsh and heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE0hhzASHwY. I'm guessing it probably has to do with me not being as invested in the story. Like 4-8 hours in to Xenoblade Chronicles story and I was hooked. I'm probably 50 hours into XC2 and still kind of feeling whatever about the story.


Hearing that about the music is kind of a bummer, right off the bat Xenoblade Chronicles blew me away. The colony 9 music is probably one of my favorite game tracks, it's so good in an extremely VideoGames way.

I'm hopeful I'll like the plot, Xenoblade Chronicles grabbed me right off the bat but it lost me about a third of the way through. It seemed really tightly plotted with a unique premise but got more meandering and more into generic fantasy/scifi mashup as time went on.

Xenoblade chronicles 2 has incredible music, easily on par with the first game. Subjective tastes and all, but I can't get the torigoth theme out of my head (in a good way)

Anyone else have an issue we’re the left Joycon seems to eat battery faster then the right? I charged both fully today and after using them for hours the right Joycon under the controller selection shows basically a full charge yet the left shows a little odd than half on the indicator. This was with playing Zelda all day.

I have no desire to play Xenoblade 2 but I think the soundtrack is really loving good. I can't say I like it more than the first game's but that's not really fair given I have context and memories to associate with that. If I had the same experience with Xenoblade 2 I'd probably like its songs just as much.

Could be related to that interference issue they used to have. Maybe the joycon has a bad signal and is eating up battery trying to stay connected.

Yeah, it's probably the left Joycon compensating for a weak signal. It's odd, though, because Zelda uses the right Joycon for gyro aiming, which you think would drain more power.

I think the drain would be pretty even, given that they're both probably tracking the gyro regardless, since it's likely part of the standard data packet the controller sends back to the console.

The skill curve is weird. It's like the hardest adventure game for 2 or 3 hours then it just settles in and next thing you know you're bare assed and whipping Lynel rear end with a pot lid.

As you fight enemies you learn the timing of their attacks and get used to countering/dodging and never taking damage.

It's the Dark Souls of Zelda games.

Gaur Plains is still the best moment of a Xenoblade game for me. That music as you step out in to the giant open area and can see forever is such a wonderful combo.

Zanza's theme is rad too, as is You Will Know Our Name.

You Will Know Our Names is the most overrated song in Xenoblade Chronicles. Never liked it.

I have large hands so I think for most games I'll stick with the original Pro, but this will be great for virtual console stuff and it's great to have a second pro controller anyway (I man I also have six joycons - GIVE ME MARIO PARTY OR GIVE ME DEATH).

It is possible that you're just using it way more. I had this issue too, specifically with Zelda, and I chalked it up to just constantly using the left stick to run around and not really using the right's buttons nearly as much.

I picked up Zelda again after the DLC2 release and decided to give master mode a try. Holy tits, is that totally unfun.

I like a challenge when it come to combat, but weapon durability becomes a huge pain in the rear end--I have to run away from every fight because I literally don't have enough weapons to deal with them.

So Street Fighter, SF2, SF2 Championship Edition, SF2 Hyper Fighting, Super SF2 The New Challengers, SSF2 Turbo (aka the only one that matters), all 3 of the Alpha games, SF3, SF3 Second Impact and motherfucking 3rd Strike. Online play in Hyper Fighting, SSF2 Turbo, Alpha 3 (that's gonna piss people off) and 3rd Strike which is smart to limit that to those 4. So it's basically every Street Fighter until 4 except Street Fighter The Movie, and the arcade versions of them as well which might throw off people used to SF2 on SNES.

Unfortunately, SF is a 6 button game and so it basically requires a stick or special pad. It's going to suck on stock Switch controllers.
I need more Fighting game support before I go in for a stick.
