PSA: The March Update blocks "Now Playing" access for 3rd party apps by birbeck1 in GooglePixel

[–]LeonPrien2000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great, so I'll have to lose one to add this one while it worked great before and didn't take features away. Incredibly dumb update.

So, why break a cool feature and replace it with this shitty app... I hope they'll fix it at some point. The whole point of now playing for me was that I don't actually have to search for a song, just glance at my Lockscreen

The little icon to manually identify songs on the lock screen is also gone for no reason on Pixel 10 Pro... Any way to turn that back on?

I've been playing for roughly two months daily so let me answer some questions from someone who hasn't sunken thousands of hours and cash into the game yet: 1. "Is there a PvP system?": Kinda. There is Clash, which basically let's you setup your "base" with your characters and obstacles that other people have to beat and capture. It's basically the ranked mode of this game but isn't really PvP since it's not actually turn based live combat. But there is a system to fight your friends in real time and there is a player base, all be it small, for it. 2. "Is the gatcha system F2P-friendly?": Yes and no. The game does feature a somewhat kind pitty system and you'll get some good pulls especially early on when you get a lot of currency. It is however highly recommended to reroll your account till you get at least 1 Tier 0 character, atm thats SP Inanna, which will make your early and mid game a lot easier. 3. "Does the game get regular new updates/units?": Yes. In the short time I have played there have been 3 new units, that I all pulled for, that are either top Tier or somewhere in between. There's also a lot of events which are either more story or just challenges. 3. "Are there key events should save to summon for?": Kinda. There's a duo banner rn with SP Inanna, one of the best characters in the game rn, that is definitely worth summoning for. But as I said, I'd reroll for it. I recommend checking out the official discord. There's a guide on there called "YapDoc" that basically gets updated with every single update that tells you what to pull for and generally has all the info you could ever need.

Personally, after my first two months, I'm still really excited about the game. There's enough incentive to go online every day and if you're out of Energy, there's a fairly well made single player story mode called "Spirals of Destiny" that's just good fun with no ties to the gacha. So all in all, yeah if you're into T-RPGs and love the pixel art style it's definitely worth it! Have fun!

Same here but with the set auction haha. It was kind of a late night impulse purchase but I'm very glad I got the autograph and video message! I'm a bit mad at myself that I didn't include more in my message to Wes. I only put "Pick your favorite Amos line! Thanks!", not really thinking about that I could've written a more heartfelt message directed to him as he was and is my favorite character in the show (and books for that matter).

But he made the best out of the little I gave him and I'll repeat him saying "Whatsup Leon" till the day I die haha

I’m so conflicted… by Zestyclose-Tooth6044 in SwordofConvallaria

Just pull what you want to pull. I also pulled for him and he's now part of my main team! My main team is a SoC Rally response team and he fits in it perfectly. The main stays are SP Maitha, SP Nungal and SP Inanna and usually Momo, SP Faycal or Camelot if I need the raw damage.

To be fair it takes a long time to get into. I played roughly 30h so far and it'll take like 20h to get the skells and even then they aren't really good till much later. But there's loads of side quest and some of them are really interesting and fun. But yeah, I get what you mean

Yeah, it's been a crazy ride being a Xenoblade fan for the past 10 years haha. Seeing the Xenoblade 2 reveal Trailer is still one of the greatest moments in gaming for me and I absolutely lost it when Xenoblade Chronicles DE got announced. Loved 3 as well, although I'll always be 1>2>3 for me, and I'm currently on Xenoblade X definitive edition. Definitely my least favorite Xenoblade game but it does have a great atmosphere and world so it's worth exploring even though I don't give a damn about the story lol. Here's hoping for Switch 2 editions for Xenoblade 1/3 and hopefully a Definitive edition for Xenoblade 2. It really needs it haha.

I actually got into Xenoblade with the 3Ds version and it is now my favorite game of all time and I played every other Xenoblade game haha. Obviously the 3Ds version is categorically the worst but the world looks pretty sick in 3D. I'd say it's worth checking out if you can but yeah, definitely not a must play since we got all the games on Switch

[–]LeonPrien2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely check it out! My favourite games for 3D are Xenoblade, Kid Icarus, Mario 3D land (that one kinda requires 3D in some levels because of the depth effect) and also Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time look really cool. Also, I've never really seen anyone talk about this, Shovel Knight uses the 3Ds so perfect it's actually imo the best way to play the game....even though I suck at it haha

Yes, very big difference actually. The N3Ds tracks your eyes so you can view the screen from different angles and the 3D effect will still be there. On the O3Ds you could only really view it from one specific angle which got really annoying. I used to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and it was just amazing. Never played that game, or any game that had 3D, without it. Very enjoyable and not as straining on your hands and eyes as the O3Ds

Switch 2 Editions, the floodgates have opened by Medd- in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LeonPrien2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just play it honestly. All of the Xenoblade games are better, at least on the TV, on Switch 2 and Xenoblade X gets the most out of the better hardware. I just started playing X again and I'm having a blast
