ITT /v/ meme games you fell for

I really liked it, glad I gave it a chance. It's hard to go back to after zelda, though.

>It's hard to go back to after zelda, though.
What does this even mean?
Do you just not play any video games at all after Zelda?

>>382695660
Same here I had fun with this game, although they're are some problems need to be fix

>>382695892
the physics and interactivity in zelda is unlike any other open world game out there. Some games have certain aspects in common with botw, like FC2 having fire and wind interactions, but no game comes close to the full plethora of physics interactions that botw has. Also, its world design is really fucking good.

>>382695596
YEAH

>>382695660
>It's hard to go back to after zelda, though.
It really isn't.
There's no comparison whatsoever as far as character and mech customization / jobs / skills / combat options are involved.
You can keep tying balloons to tree trunks and swapping broken weapons every 5 minutes if that's your thing though.

I don't see how anyone can like this game

I just started this game 2 days ago, seems fun so far but why is the font so fucking small? I have to stop and squint just to read anything.

I'll take that over BotW's pitiful 1998 throwback combat any day.

>>382696537
and freeze enemies, then whack them off a cliff; and use lightning to damage enemies with a well-timed metal weapon throw; and use electricity to spread in bodies of water to shock fish and enemies; and create fire then use it for an updraft for gliding purposes; etc.

>>382696718
why though

>>382696537
Name another open world game where you can do that

>>382695596
>>382695660
It's pretty good.
It also far superior to BotW when it comes to a motivating late/endgame.

>>382696670
very true, the jap font is a more reasonable size so I don't know what the fuck they were thinking with that tiny-ass font in the western release.

>>382696846
>when it comes to a motivating late/endgame.
explain

>>382696746
Shhh they want to pretend their un-games can even somewhat compare.

Just let them follow quest markers to the next cutscene if that's what they think games are composed of.

>>382696667
>that's more than you can do in Xenoblade
So? Just because a feature exists doesn't mean its inherently good. You can pick up and move most objects in Elder Scrolls games, but no one acts as if that's in any way notable.

it was pretty average i played it a lot to get first kills on some superbosses and top 3 on most, shame there was no tracking i just had to take pictures with the bosses being killed once region wide and myself having the kill

Better get those 600 augment parts you're missing for crafting!

>>382697627
>Better get those 600 augment parts you're missing for crafting!
That involve more than just picking up rocks and shooting balloons.

>>382697486
playing with a shitty build isn't fun, what's your point?

>>382697627
Even if that's so, that grind has a far more satisfying result.

>>382697721
Yeah, it involves fighting the same enemies over and over and dealing with XCX's ridiculous drop rates. It's not fun.
>>382697757
not really

>>382696336
there's a lot of redundancy in xenoblade's combat system, most arts are pointless to use and it all feels the same to execute as well. Not that I'd say that's really an issue, it's just a different approach versus action combat like zelda. XCX feels like it has a lot of small tasks to do that don't have much interaction or real 'weight' to them, whilst zelda has a stronger core (particularly combat, which despite some faults is the best combat I've played in any open world game) and focus on interactivity. Also, even though XCX has more creativity for its regions, I'd say zelda has a better overworld overall, especially from a world design standpoint.

>>382697486
At endgame if you're not using longswords+dual guns you're literally gimping yourself over. Also team mates are useless and Skells are merely fancy cars.

>>382695596
Skells were a mistake

Will we need t have played XCX to playthe new switch game?

>>382697980
So basically you want to remove the fun and boil it down to a exact method to minimize gameplay for just about nothing.

>>382696746
>and freeze enemies, then whack them off a cliff
Really? Knocking enemies off a ledge is your idea of "interactivity"?
>use lightning to damage enemies with a well-timed metal weapon throw
This is neat and all, but highly situational, not to mention the lightning mechanic is terrible outside this little feature. With how annoying it is, I doubt many players were able to figure this out themselves.
>use electricity to spread in bodies of water to shock fish and enemies
Tons of games do this shit.
>create fire then use it for an updraft for gliding purposes
Another neat concept that doesn't work well in execution. If you weren't able to climb anything and everything outside of shrines, this would have actually been a useful mechanic.
>etc.
i.e. you can't think of anything else.

>>382698201
No matter what weapons you use the gameplay is literally always the same.
why would anyone want to go through more crap with this shit combat

>>382695596
I expected some cool mecha, how far into the game do i have to go to get it?

>>382698625
You do realise that would mean that customization in general, outside of visual customization, would be a completely flawed concept in general right?

There's literally no game that can't be optimized in such a way.
Ultimately you're just destroying your own enjoyment.

What do you mean why? BotW's combat is fucking terrible.

I will never understand you fucking morons that shit on any kind of combat that isn't real-time action, and then hold up the absolute worst examples of it. I'll take good "MMO combat" over the shallow, torpid, unresponsive shit that BotW is.

>>382699017
I think it's about chapter 6 maybe?
Flight in chapter 8 or 9.

>>382698581
Too bad BotW doesn't have any dungeons.

>>382698226
It's plenty useful. You can use it in combat or just to give yourself a boost when climbing.

>>382697202
What?
Elma was the single okay party member.

The rest of them, the mute self-insert included, were shit with regards to the story. Elma should have put a cap in Lao and have been done with it instead of listen to Lin whine

>>382698226
>Another neat concept that doesn't work well in execution. If you weren't able to climb anything and everything outside of shrines, this would have actually been a useful mechanic.
painfully wrong, if there's nothing to climb nearby then it's incredibly useful to be able to create your own updraft at any time (even before you get ravioli's gale) as a means of quick-travel. It's also very useful when fighting guardians, since their laser shots create fire from the explosive impact which you can then use to paraglide for easy dodging or for a slowmo shot with your bow as you descend.

How many chapters are there in total? is there a NG+?

>>382699184
actually the mech makes it less fun for the most part, if you aren't enjoying the first 20-30 hours then it basically isn't the game for you.

>>382699071
Difference is in most games sub optimal builds are not bad to the point it's bonderline impossible to carry out certain tasks with them. And most importantly in no fucking game the AI is so bad that trying to use it is more of a burden than a boon.

>>382699495
12 chapters, no NG+

>>382699495
Like 12, but the first 3 are basically the tutorial. There's no ng+, but there is a lot of 60+ equipment and monster stuff floating around (the game is targeted to end around level 50) as well as a few quests and monsters that don't appear until you finish the story. It's basically there for people who like farming and collecting.

>>382699434
That is still better than the others.
Out of the rest of them, I only had respect for her and Doug.

>is there a NG+?
No, but there's a lot of side quests, monsters to hunt, affinity missions and so on.

>>382699798
The Cristoph brothers are far and away the best characters in the game, Boze, HB and Mia are way better than Elma too.

How retarded do you have to be to tout "muh physics" as the defining feature of a game, and then post a glitch that allows perpetual motion as an example of "muh physics"? If something like that happened in a Bethesda game, you'd shit all over it, but because it's in Zelda, it's "fun" and a "feature".

>>382699830
I hope they aren't

>>382699842
hunting monsters in post game isn't fun. Its just grinding for materials, and you have to put up with the 1% drop rates and other ridiculous shit

>>382699495
Story's 12 chapters long and it's generally agreed to be the worst part of the game (after the faces). There's no NG+ mode and some of your choices can alter permanently the outcome of certain secondary quests. Oh yeah and don't forget to max Lao's affinity.

>>382699917
Xeno games have never been action based, so I don't know why you would expect that.

>>382699417
>since their laser shots create fire from the explosive impact which you can then use to paraglide for easy dodging or for a slowmo shot with your bow as you descend.
Or you can just not be a retard and parry the laser with a shield to the same effect.

anyone else likes the approach of making Elma the main character and you just the goofball who tagged along her and rescue cats and just watch murders happens on its free time?

>>382700092
I just jumped into it cause the artwork looked neat and saw someone flying a huge red mecha

>>382699993
And you need like a trillion various different materials to get a single augment.

While waiting to have enough Miranium stored up from the silly probe set-up. Having to wait real time for a resource in a single player game makes no sense to be honest - though you usually always have plenty after setting the storage pods up correctly.

>>382700183
Elma is boring and dull, so no.

>>382699798
Seriously dude, fucking Doug? The hell is wrong with you?

>>382700208
Ah. Well, Monolith Soft specializes in JRPGs without realtime combat. This is probably their fastest game, but it's still essentially a turn based design hidden behind time management.

>to the point it's bonderline impossible to carry out certain tasks with them.
Except they are.
Sub optimal builds in any game have the exact same effect in that they increase the amount of time spent playing and make certain enemies extremely tedious or nigh impossible especially in games with superbosses.

In other words,
>Ultimately you're just destroying your own enjoyment.

>>382699653
What? I had "sub optimal builds" for the entire game and I did well. Use skells and augments

Fun but also really inaccessable, if thats the right word. I beat the first Xenoblade but after 30 hours in XCX I still struggle with the combat. Also most of the quests are really unfun and locking the main story behind them is a terrible idea.
I always have to take month long breaks between every 10 hours I play, it becomes too overwhelming and repetitive after a while.

Yeah. Favorite part of the game, right there. Every time I start the game, I head to the customization pod and become a different woman.

Then I rub one out and stop playing about 10 minutes later. Good game.
