No it isn't faggot. Only shit games. There's no strategy in XCX, just mmo rotations and farming for mats to make a skell/superweapon to one shot crap. That's all your "infinite overdrive" shit is a braindead rotation.

The Soul Voice mechanic is awful. What were they thinking? If you are in trouble you have to rely on rng shit for a heal.

You sound casual as fuck

You sound like a moron. This game is casual crap.

>Fighting enemies that can one shot you aka far stronger than you
>Letting your HP get that low in fights
>Not setting up Soul Voices properly
Nope, other anons were correct, you're just bad

>Fighting enemies that can one shot you aka far stronger than you
Wrong moron. For example Xe-dom's are not far stronger than level 50 skells and can still one shot them.
>Letting your HP get that low in fights
You have no control over your HP, it is entirely reliant on soul voice and a timed button b press, all triggered by rng. Doesn't matter how much potential you stack when the dumb voices don't trigger when you need them to
>Not setting up Soul Voices properly
Oh wow, setting your SV to make your party art line up sure is deep as fuck anon. Except it relies on rng shit again.

Nope anon, sounds like you don't even understand this rubbish game.

I love this game, but your critiques aren't too far off.

The skill ceiling is shit to this game. It's this awkward mixture between turn based combat (where you can potentially beat things through sheer strategy), and actoin combat (where you can beat things through sheer skill), and ends up achieving neither.

It relies intensely on your equipment, far more than any other RPGs. It's just cool down management, when you boil it down. Even the high end strategic way to play isn't strategically challenging, just knowing what arts to refresh when.

The way you fight different enemies doesnt change outside of what elements theyre weak to, but that's not a matter of how you play, just what elemental build you need. Besides, that only comes into play with the super bosses.

There's no micro trial and error mid match, no learning while the battle is happening, just avoiding making simple mistakes. Shit, the combat is ALREADY solved, and its been out for how long?

Soul Voices are great and work great, but I agree with you otherwise.

It's still less obvious rotation bullshit than the original Xenoblade, but Overdrive and Skells fucked it up big time, I miss the old Chain Attack.
