Jezza of OZPOS posted:i'm thinking about getting cult of the lamb for switch, I assume it runs no problem given it doesn't look super graphics intensive? Played for 10 hours, hitches a bit on return to the cult and on dawn of new days, saving through the menu pauses the game and makes the rumble go on strong for a solid 30s. Don't know if my cultists ignoring jobs I've assigned them is a bug

minya posted:So how is everyone enjoying XB3? I played the first one and enjoyed it a lot, especially the wide open zones, the music, and the weird MMORPG-style combat. I didn’t care for the side quests or the story at all really, I found it totally overwrought and hard to follow. I didn’t end up finishing the game but overall definitely enjoyed the time I spent with it. its god likeop. play it immediately

XB1 and 2 had good music and I've heard that 3 is significantly less cringeworthy than 2, but I still can't imagine wanting to actually play it if the gameplay is at all similar to the first two.

Xb3 is extremely good but you shouldn’t play it if you are a cutscene skipper. I’m not usually a completionist but I’ve been doing all of the side quests and content as they become available because they’re interesting and good imo

Xenoblade 2’s combat system is actually pretty fun tbqh. You just need to play for like a year for the game to finish dripfeeding out its mechanics and then watch multiple video guides explaining how poo poo works because the in-game tutorials are horrible

When you have enough Orbs, initiate a Chain Attack to smash the orbs for Big Damage. Repeat until target is dead.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's simple in design, but real dense in execution; yeah it’s just that the game explains this all by giving you like 5 poorly-worded text boxes at once that you only get one chance to read and then there is no way in-game to look back at them again, and a lot of useful information is buried beneath multiple layers of menus or just never explained at all. The fact that pouch items can speed up the pace of battle by a huge amount isn’t clear. A lot of blades have attacks with special properties that the game doesn’t tell you about. Most status effects are never explained. Spike damage is never explained and there’s no visual indicator that an enemy will deal spike damage. Buffs and debuffs don’t have any UI indicators besides an easily-missed popup when they are activated that goes away after a second. Fusion combos are barely even mentioned. And you need to be constantly checking and rechecking the affinity charts for your blades in order to see objectives that are not tracked anywhere else which, if you forget to do, will keep your blade from unlocking extremely important and useful upgrades. The mechanics are fun but the conveyance of them is just awful.

For some reason 2 took a huge step backwards in that area and the tutorials are way worse but also take way longer.

Xenoblade 2 becomes a good game after a while but it takes a lot of time investment to get to that point and the game heavily frontloads all of its worst traits so I can't fault anyone for tapping out early, because I did too and if it weren't for XB3 I probably wouldn't have given it another chance

13 is a good concept but tragically simple. It gets refined and pushed a little further in 13-2, but I've never been a fan of the budget JRPG staple of having a party be 2 actual characters + a pet or two that gets replaced every 5 levels.

sigher posted:Any game that takes "a lot of time investment" to get to the point where it's good is still bad. It doesn't take that long. Just plow into chapter 3 to unlock the mercenary system, get a couple story-mandatory rare blades, increase the rate you'll start seeing core drops, and really pick up the rate you can interact with XBC2's other systems. Ba-da-bing, XBC2's gameplay really starts to pick up. Chapter 4 is where the plot stops meandering and starts to focus in too, and you can get there in two-three not-bad hours if you don't dump a bunch of time poking around in Gormott on your first trip where you'll feel the early stages of the game start to wear thin.

what's so cool about all the Xenoblade games is how the combat is focused on momentum. Every encounter starts off a little slow with few options and low damage. But as it goes on your options open up dramatically, you get new cool things to do , and your damage goes from plinky little 100s of sword damage to 100,000+ orbital laser shots So your mastery of the combat is all about manipulating this momentum. You may want to extend it as long as possible to get the damage numbers astronomically high, to the point where you can kill a super boss in a single combo. Or you might want to ramp up as fast as possible, going from swords to orbital lasers with a few seconds and completing ruining a trash mob's day It rules so hard, but on the flipside there's nothing more aggravating when your momentum is getting interrupted, or you don't realize how to keep it going. It's like being stuck in 1st gear on the highway. So I can definitely see why some people bounce off of it
