Im playing xenoblade chronicles 3d and its really cool. I have problems with it though that kinda make it unfun to play

The combat seems to totally boil down to just what your level is. The same strategy can fail miserably at level 17 vs a level 18 boss, win a nailbiter at 18-18, or dominate at 19-18.
Its really artificial feeling and makes the player feel like skill isnt as important as time invested. The last game i played like this was destiny and it sucked dying in the raid at level 27 again and again while level 28 could actually hurt enemies.

Also the graphics are really rough in 3d due to the bad textures shimmering so much so i play with it off but the screen is totally full of icons and poo poo that make it really hard to see. They should have put all the moves and menus on the lower screen which is mostly wasted.

I really wanted to play through Xenoblade Chronicles but I just could never get a handle on the combat at all. I kept feeling like there were all these nuanced things I should be doing but maybe it was just the level barrier that was the problem, because I'd go from effortlessly destroying enemies to getting totally owned and not really understanding what I did wrong.

Its one hundo percent the level scaling. All the busywork you do in battle doesnt matter as much as the number next to your name in my experience.


Oh another issue i just remembered, i hate how long the visions take and how often they happen in combat. Its really annoying to watch a 20 second precog death scene over and over, especially when you are out of team gauge to use to warn the target etc.

I was hoping The Surge would be good, but the things that they do differently from souls games look like pretty big downgrades. Why put a timer on recovering your souls, that's just punishing you twice for dying

They do it in lotf too. They're just really dumb guys

I beat all the GP's in mario kart 8. I like how polished the game is. Lotta fun.

As criticism i feel like the 8 concept ( mobius logo, upside-down driving, magnetic wheels or whatever) is kinda wasted in the game when actually racing its really hard to notice that its even happening but i guess you dont want to get in the way of the players focus

because i can believe that if you rolled up to hideki kamiya with a truckload of money and said "make us a game with everything you think is really cool" he would spend a literal eternity making it and at the end of that eternity put out a super awesome game that just so happened to be 600 hours long but also ridiculously overdue

microsoft might have a long history of loving over developers, but hideki kamiya has a long history of being hideki kamiya, which isn't a negative but man

idgi. its pretty well discussed that the game morphed into a 4 player online thing that platinum didn't want it to be. MS has cancelled like 6 big games around scalebound but maybe you're right and the guy responsible for many short and focused action games over his entire career was making a star citizen. maybe.

the first big bad is your mom who tries to crush you in the womb so its like pretty unsubtle messaging through the language of pee pee poo pee. if you're as hosed up as the creator it might be good therapy but nobody is playing isaac for those themes i would imagine, its a fun little game engine that has some people addicted

I have to respect that they remade a Fire Emblem game from before they'd really decided how Fire Emblem should work and retained all the weird "we don't know how to make Fire Emblem work yet" stuff

The srpg battle system is apparently too slow for the constant fights in dungeons to keep from getting tiresome.

I usuallu feel the same way about rpgs that try to mix in srpg mechanics. Like arc the lad and trails and others. Cant just mash x through the fodder enemies when you need to move around.

on a mildly funny note i stopped at xenoblade where some of you stopped at rogue galaxy: the prison
