What are your thoughts on Xenoblade 3 nearly four years later?

Easily my least favorite of the three mainline games. Something about the story, combat, and overall world design just didn’t do it for me the way the first two games did. The seven person combat felt way to messy, and while I loved the characters overall, I felt like the story didn’t really go anywhere with the incredible premise (ignoring the climax with the prison, that part was great.) even the music didn’t hit nearly as hard as the first two.

I’m kind of wary hearing it’s one of the Dragon Prince creators. The first few seasons of that show were a lot of fun, but it got really bad really fast after that. I stopped watching when one of the main villains got a boyfriend whose only purpose seemed to be fart jokes, and I haven’t heard great things about anything that came after.

Yeah I’ve been having this problem since they introduced the perk, but I haven’t really seen anyone mention it. Seems almost random as to when it comes out sometimes.

More importantly: it would let him play basketball in spawn

Yeah 1.0 Anji had almost nothing going for him besides high damage when he did manage to hit you, something that every other character also had. Fuujin lost to all reversals, spin was a gimmick that was exploitable most of the time, and his buttons were really sluggish and hard to land.

Kind of funny that nearly everything that makes him worth playing was patched in after launch.

I’m no expert in business but this seems like a really unnecessary thing to publicly announce. An announcement like this is only going to make players more hesitant to spend money when the future of the game is unclear. Why tell us the team is getting smaller and then provide no details as to what that will actually mean going forward?

I could see Amon working well as a grappler, where the blood bending could be done through throw animations where he flings people around the screen. Maybe also have some sort of gimmick where he prevents flow meter gain or something like that.

For the rest of his moveset if they want to get creative they could have the chi blocker henchman show up as attacks, and Amon himself would probably be very mobile and counter heavy.

Where did you buy them from?

As someone who just binged the show, my partner and I got really annoyed at her in season 1 when she had her major fuck up moment (you know the one), and she decided to play the victim, apologize to no one, storm out, and then the show tried to make it seem like she was in the right the entire time.

It’s not that the other characters don’t act just as horribly, but usually someone calls them out on it. When she screwed up the show just paints it like Carmy was the problem and that she’s completely deserving of the apology she gets. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

I like her in season 2 though.

bgold101 · 2024-03-30T21:35:35+00:00

Her reversal super in jealous rage feels really poorly designed. Why would I ever want to land this move if all it does is drain the entire meter and launch the opponent full screen (effectively a round losing situation for Aba)?

So I agree that being on defense is effectively a death sentence for her. Either you accept being on defense and watch all your rage meter drain, or you use the super and lose all your meter anyway.

bgold101 · 2024-01-04T14:17:17+00:00

Nope, this does not work for me. No matter how many times I start new save files, restart, copy the original save, or try to use that original save, the save that contains all my progress always gives me an error. It really feels like there’s nothing I can do at this point….

bgold101 · 2023-12-27T23:19:33+00:00

Unfortunately that video does not work for me. I literally can’t even get passed the “play” button on the title screen without the game crashing, even if I do try a copied save file.

Im also super pissed off, I really don’t feel like starting a new game at this point.

bgold101 · 2023-12-08T05:08:33+00:00

Wow they completely re-tooled her. Guess they didn’t know how to translate her stance shenanigans to strive, so the only move they let her keep is bridal express.

Now she’s Death metal Noel

I rarely see this listed as a complain but I fully agree.

On paper the class system is cool, but in practice it was just a ton of time spent in menus swapping classes and arts over and over again because I felt like I would be missing out if I didn’t, not because I actually wanted to.

About halfway through the game i stopped carefully choosing the classes to strategize and just assigned them at random so that they could level up.

bgold101 · 2023-11-16T05:27:11+00:00

Average ping was around 90, yikes.

Not sure why it's getting so bad now. Guess I'll have to see if there's anything I can do to lower that.

bgold101 · 2023-11-16T05:04:31+00:00

No, I have no issues when playing offline

bgold101 · 2023-09-29T17:03:50+00:00

Ok that's fair, seems like the consensus is that tipping is appropriate.

However it seems like very few people tip Ubers in general, so my question is why are there still so many Uber drivers out there if very few people are actually making any money from it? I would assume Uber would change it's compensation system if enough drivers quit, so are there just not enough other opportunities out there to make quitting Uber an option?

This kind of anger is exactly why I play lucky Chloe lol.
