I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and I feel like I'm missing something. I'm in the first town where you can really explore and do side quests (Gormott) and I need to get the machine parts for Tora. Okay, cool. I can either buy them if I have the gold, which I'm not even CLOSE, or do quests to get them. Fine. Except the quests in this town are IMPOSSIBLE. I have to kill three level 10 gorilla things and I get absolutely bodied before I can even take out one of them. In another quest it ends with two enemies at level 10, same thing. I tried grinding on enemies in the area from 7-10 and even those I die to a lot of the time. Not to mention the level 17s or the 87 in the area that I keep aggroing while trying to grind. I have to be missing something really fundamental here. I know about timing your artes to charge up the special more and such and I bought the best Blade weapons the shop had. What the hell am I supposed to be doing? Am I supposed to not do any of this until I have another party member? I can't reliably kill things to grind for experience and money and I can't finish the quests to move the story along. Was "normal" difficulty a mistranslation and I'm actually on super extreme bullshit difficulty? eta: oh poo poo page snipe. Uhhh. Animal Crossing is chill and great but has some weird and clunky design decisions that are NOT for everyone but you should realize pretty quickly if you're looking into the game at all before buying it. AC is not a fast, efficient experience. Safari Disco Lion fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Apr 10, 2020 |

The one in town by the Chief's Residence works fine. Don't worry too much if combat feels a little off at the moment, XC's combat is built around a full three-Driver team. Also a general XC tip; Don't panic at stupidly-high level critters around the world maps. 95% of the time they're completely passive unless you get right up in their face or actively attack them.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Yeah I liked the FFT Advance games, and those were really really different in story and tone. IMO, Fell Seal does feel a little cheap? Like, the animation for hitting dudes don't have too much punch, the portraits are weird... But it DOES do a fantastic job of putting the battle engines of FFT, FFTA, and FFTA2 in a shaker and blending them thoroughly. The story's good and well-written, too, although it has its own tone and the writer doesn't have the occasional fantastic turn of phrase that's in FFT (either translation, honestly) - but what does?

Neddy Seagoon posted:That's not really Nintendo's fault for designing a game around something people could play for a little bit each night around a typical 9-5 work life rather than failing to foresee their entire playerbase being stuck at home for the forseeable future 24-7. I shoulda just lied and said I lived in the southern hemisphere but I can't change that now without completely restarting.

I already got those, it's the other part I can't get because it's either expensive to buy from the shop, or from the end of a quest has the three gorilla things I can't even come close to killing.

It's a social game, you don't want any thing to do with it anyway and that's clear. The fact that you keep complaining about the strong points of the game tells me you don't understand what the game is about or you never would have purchased it. No one is telling you you should be playing, they are telling you what you hate is what they love.

If you already have the very-good DLC which adds a well crafted and spoilery prequel adventures as well as several great and guaranteed blades and quests to the main game, I think you can always just basically cheese the fight if you change the settings so enemies do virtually no damage. The penalty to dying is pretty low though, so go rough up some named enemies for practice and experience; pop some items for passive bonuses. In this game you're more in danger of being over-level (NG+ lets you trade away levels for items though) so don't grind too much but if you need a boost, visit the inn by the fountain plaza and use your banked bonus EXP to kick yourself up a few notches if you need it to get past this part.

You really should wait on side quests until you've progressed in the story for a bit unless you like a challenge: Xenoblade 2's combat (and thus its numbers and what you expect the level of an enemy to mean) is based around you have three characters (with the likelihood, but not requirement once you get more experienced, of a classic tank/healer/dps trinity). To progress with the story, you have two quests: one is to get three Bion Connectors, which you can buy or obtain through salvaging (I suggest the latter). The other is to beat up a singular level 9 enemy a little ways away. Everything else is optional right now and should be avoided until you've got a full party again. If you're thinking any other quests you've picked up are mandatory, they're not. Just Artificial Blade Parts 1 and 2. You're not required to fight more than that one quest enemy with a solo Rex, and as you've seen attempting to do so is a bad idea. Once you've done those, then you'll be on a pretty obvious trajectory towards proceeding with the story and getting Nia back, where you'll finally have a real three person party. Then you can sidequest to your heart's content.

Tender Bender posted:Working from home under quarantine, my girlfriend and I have been playing Animal Crossing and loving it. She never plays games, ever, but has gotten hooked, especially through fishing and decorating, and wants to try playing some other games. Does anyone have any suggestions for "gateway games" from an animal crossing foundation? We've also been playing Baba is You, which is a great nongamer's game since it requires no motor skills and the puzzles are mostly Real logic, not gamer logic. Snipperclips, towerfall, niddhogg2, lovers in a dangerous spacetime, super chariot, and guacamelee for when they get a bit more comfortable.

Note that while this will work and allow you both to play the same game at the same time without needing to buy it a second time, one important caveat is that if you want to visit each other's island, you both need Nintendo Switch Online because for whatever reason local play using multiples of the same game license will never see each other.

There's 16 hours of the day in which you can enjoy sunshine. If you can't play during at least one of those 16 hours then maybe you shouldn't be worrying about video games so much.

if you don't have the bar you need either a classic controller plugged into a wiimote which will let you navigate with sticks or you need two tealights to mimic the bar and throw off ir light
