in my short time playing FEH one of the freebies the game gave me was this lady who I think was a Heroes-original character and whenever she was low on health her character portrait would change to one where her top was shredded so that her boobs were about to fall out and also all of her support dialogue was about how much she wanted to gently caress you, the player.

It's too bad. I would have expected that by July of 2020, all those poor souls who think weapon durability is bad would have either changed their minds, or at least been shamed into not admitting their twisted beliefs publicly.

Except that weapon durability is bad, so we're correct.

I love Xenoblade 1, especially now that I've finished DE, way, way too much and will defend it to the death, it is exactly my flavor of JRPG. But I'm super hesitant to play 2 and X because of everything I hear about it.

It really depends on what you liked about XC1 as to whether XCX/2 will appeal to you.

I know XCX's biggest strength is exploration, as the gameplay is kinda eh, the story is dumb, and there's a lot of baffling decisions that hold the game back (let's have a ton of playable characters but force two of the three open slots to the same two characters for 90% of the missions, including all story missions).

I don't really know anything about XC2 besides you get to gently caress swords and there's a Nopon with a gently caress robot, so if you want XC1 but hornier then XC2 is probably a good bet.

I liked xenoblade 2 but its pacing is super hosed in that 80% of it feels like unimportant filler, then suddenly it's nonstop plot and all that stupid bullshit filler comes into play

I really, really can't blame people for bouncing off it but I enjoyed it :shrug:

I really like JRPGs a lot and I really didn’t like xenoblade 2. It was a weird mix of stuff I really liked and was in to like the combat and music and then bad stuff like the weird skill gating gacha poo poo and the terrible terrible terrible character designs and bad sidequests

At the time I wanted to play an RPG on switch but there are so many choices now

I didn't like Xenoblade 2 either. I love Xenoblade 1 though.

Xenoblade is 90% Rex and Co either doing *hard* anime tropes or getting the absolute poo poo beat out of them by team rocket only in the last 5% to go 'no i'm sick of it I want to win battles in cutscenes for once'


The other 5% is tying the lore to xenoblade 1 in some genuinely cool fanservice moments

WHY BONER NOW posted:

Are them thar shin megami games a continuous series or can you jump in to V without playing the others
Aside from like 4 Apocalypse (which is a direct sequel to 4) you can so far jump into the series anywhere. Hell, I played Soul Hackers (which is a sequel to a Saturn(?) game that never got translated) and was fine. Some people are speculating that V might be related to Nocturne based upon the fact that the mini-Direct that announced the Nocturne remaster had a trailer for V as well, and that they seem to be returning to a similar art style, but at this point there's no hard evidence and none of the mainline numbered titles have been direct sequels.

WHY BONER NOW posted:

You know, I have been wanting a new game for my 3ds...I started playing through FE:awakening again and while it's a very good game, I feel like I'm just going through the motions :geno: Maybe I'll check out SMT4
SMT4 is good and I enjoyed my time playing it, but the beginning is absolutely brutal in difficulty. If you're going to play it, go in expecting to die several times trying to recruit a full party. The first couple of bosses are also infamously difficult.

I'm pretty sure all FE's just have something a bit hosed up about them. Nothing comes to mind for Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn, but I'm sure there's something (now those are games that need a re-release).

Even FE 7 had the super suspect relationship between Nino and Jaffar. She was like 14 in that game?

American McGay posted:

I got it for 45 if I did my math right.

And I'm sorry the previous poster can't enjoy the game, because it really was a terrific re-imagining of LA, the whole aesthetic was perfect and it'll surely be the way I revisit the game in the future. Everyone's different but I'm glad that framerates are far from necessary for me to enjoy a game. I didn't notice anything in Link's Awakening that was worse than the GB game, and frankly that just made it feel nostalgic. That said those moments were few and far between.

Micaiah has been raising Sothe since he was like six (and she was...about 20? The Tellius game timeline is somewhat hosed) and they end up married in their paired ending.

"dunkey's reviews aren't serious" is a bad criticism, because nobody can make a review of Xenoblade 2 that isn't basically mostly making fun of it because it's such an obviously bad game

dunkey reviews are literally silly videos for fun but people can't stop getting into parasocial relationships with internet personalities.

It’s a fun game but yeah those frame rate drops are pretty much impossible to defend. I played for 20 hours or so and never got used to them, they were as jarring at the end as they were at the beginning. It’s a shame because otherwise it’s a fantastic game.

Ring fits are trickling in through all the major retailers. Wario64 and price trackers should be able to alert you. Scalper price is down to <$120, which is $100 less than it was a couple months ago
