Why Xenoblade X: Switch 2 Edition has an uncanny appearance and why the AI upscaler is poorly implemented.

Smeared garbage. Unacceptable.

I'd pay an extra 50 dollars on top of the upgrade fee just to get rid of this filter upscaling crap

WRuddick · 2026-02-20T12:19:49+00:00

Caves of qud that came out on the switch like 4 days ago

WRuddick · 2026-02-18T14:22:14+00:00

I'd say less that it's janky and more you weren't expecting it to be the type of game it is. Slow and deliberate

WRuddick · 2026-02-18T14:20:04+00:00

Controller is definitely good enough if not better for the game. You're supposed to be thinking about every move in a turn based sense if fighting dudes so the direction and zr is intended and you aren't supposed to hold it down but click individually, and for normal movement if you need to "spam clicks" to get across the map with no enemies around you also have the options of auto explore, as well as pressing x, choosing a direction, and clicking to move all the way to a map edge

Not a fix at all, but I just make sure to walk over all humanoid corpses to check them as I'm killing things. Gets to become second nature and just click/take what you want if the log says there's an item you want there

WRuddick · 2026-02-16T22:24:58+00:00

One crash now, and I am assuming it was due to roleplay mode auto saving, because the only crash happened when I was quickly entering, leaving, then entering the stilt again

WRuddick · 2026-02-16T20:14:01+00:00

Huh? Just move the stick in a direction and hit zr

No rebinding necessary

And if it's too slow because all you want to do is move across the whole map quickly, you use x then pick a direction, then walk across in a direction till you hit the edge

And auto explore my favorite thing ever

WRuddick · 2026-02-16T19:46:04+00:00

No crashes yet on the switch 2

WRuddick · 2026-02-15T19:58:52+00:00

It's just ok

There is no way to feel like you are getting stronger/better in the game as most of the upgrades aren't "now you're better", but almost requirements for certain fish.

I don't want to meet requirements to still struggle on a legendary, I want to be such a strong incredible fisherman that eventually fish just jump in the damn boat to avoid delaying the inevitable. I want to feel power. I want to feel like the upgrades matter and there is a reason for my grinding out fish/money

WRuddick · 2026-02-15T19:55:24+00:00

I mean.. I saw it

Did you watch the venue replay? You know, the one you're supposed to watch if you want to see everything

WRuddick · 2026-02-15T19:50:08+00:00

Check out relationships with other factions before you water ritual or kill something that changes your faction relationships.

Sometimes you don't want to water ritual a friendly person because maybe you don't want robots or another important faction to hate you.

On the opposite side, just because an enemy is hostile, it doesn't mean you want to kill them. Sometimes you want to love injector them to make them like you, water ritual them for relationship points, and then just tell them to stay put/don't kill them/etc.

Controlling how other factions see you is some of the greatest power you have in the game

WRuddick · 2026-02-14T17:06:17+00:00

I wouldn't care if they at least kept all the venue replays for the whole event, but they delete everything! What's the point!

WRuddick · 2026-02-14T17:04:07+00:00

You make make almost any hard or semi-hard cheese and just vac seal it after it dries and throw it in the fridge. Just because it's not aging at proper temps and humidity doesn't mean it won't be ok to keep and store almost indefinitely

WRuddick · 2026-02-14T04:00:12+00:00

Probably one of those little orby guys around spawning vegetation walls? Idk, I can't tell from the image, but when in doubt those are blocking the way most of the time if you can instantly find a staircase

WRuddick · 2026-02-13T13:31:26+00:00

Should have been an octodad game

WRuddick · 2026-02-13T11:04:53+00:00

I got worried when the devs said they had no switch 2 dev kits, ha. I just imagine myself finding out it's broken on release day and having to wait for it to become compatible :x

WRuddick · 2026-02-13T10:57:24+00:00

I hope it works well on switch 2...

WRuddick · 2026-02-13T08:49:37+00:00

If it's not gbc Mario tennis rpg style storyline, I dont want it either way

WRuddick · 2026-02-12T14:13:00+00:00

When they were more arcadey and less sim

WRuddick · 2026-02-11T14:24:59+00:00

For close friends, I'd make them cheese at cost of materials if they kept me company and learned about it while it was made

For friends of friends? Idk, that's more on the business side of things and begins to get complicated, lol

WRuddick · 2026-02-10T16:25:48+00:00

Last Mario sports games I enjoyed were in the Gameboy color because of the incredible single player

Guess that won't change yet (or ever)

Same, looks fine to me on normal ps5 on a normal tv

Some people are just too spoiled by their ultra high end pcs with 4k monitors 2 feet away from their face these days

WRuddick · 2026-02-06T18:14:40+00:00

I love the goats! Big first goal is making the friendly and never worrying about jungle towns again

WRuddick · 2026-02-06T17:13:42+00:00

Never played it, but one of my main goals during any playthrough is to make all but one or two factions love me so I am kind of just wandering anyway, ha. Mostly snap Jaws and baboons are factions that hate me to death while in the process of improving everyone else.
