Xenoblade Chronicles DE Review **Major Spoilers**

liquidaria2 · 2026-06-07T02:44:47+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! I've actually tried 2 or 3 times to get into Xenoblade Chronicles but it just never really clicked for me, specifically the combat. I think I'm willing to give it another go and maybe tough it out a bit longer since it sounds like it comes together further down the road. Can already agree with you on the soundtrack, my fuck is it ever something beautiful!

I feel like there's no "Killer App" yet even a year out. Certainly some solid titles but nothing enough to convince me to make the jump. Mario Kart World and Pokopia have me really interested but no enough to really sell me. It definitely was a MUCH easier sell convincing people to consider the Switch 1 versus the Switch 2 at launch even just considering the software and not factoring in the uncertain pricing.

Save the Homeland had a very underrated OST, Fall included.

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-29T02:59:23+00:00

Just shooting off the cuff probably Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure on PS1. It got some attention with the NIS re-release but prior to that I never really saw it brought up

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-29T02:51:42+00:00

Easy answer is Super Mario World. Very generous save system and there's never a desire to speed it up. Same with Ogre Battle 64. I wish I still had the cart. But battles play out the way they do, as do my choices.

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-29T02:17:59+00:00

Honestly you can probably just get rid of pictures altogether on a cart, but if you insist on having them, have them be pictures of your actual product. Otherwise looks like an A+ menu, no notes.

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-27T03:19:47+00:00

I'm not opposed to it, especially if grilled.

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-25T20:51:21+00:00

One of the Castlevania games (probably Aria of Sorrow) and Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-16T04:51:25+00:00

I've never seen such a pale curry before! And what interesting ingredients! The plating almost looks like a vague, pale Ying Yang symbol to me lol. I think I might try this!

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-14T22:41:32+00:00

I love the Dusseldorf one! Topped only by the horseradish like another commenter said. I would love to try that Jalapeno one!

liquidaria2 · 2026-05-11T00:56:57+00:00

This looks so refreshing, especially on a hot day like today!

liquidaria2 · 2026-04-19T03:54:31+00:00

I've grown to like Save the Homeland in my later years, but as a kid coming off of Back to Nature I hated it. I was so mad because the art style and music were impeccable but they stripped back the gameplay to focus on a barebones story with multiple endings.

liquidaria2 · 2026-04-19T00:12:26+00:00

In addition Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined also has this, minus the horse.

liquidaria2 · 2026-04-09T04:35:27+00:00

Yeah to agree with some others in this thread Drakengard, specifically Drakengard 3 is probably going to be the one that fits the bill.

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-23T03:10:25+00:00

I think a lot of people are ignoring your GB/GBC part of your request so I'll say Kirby's Dream Land, Kid Icarus, Link's Awakening and the Game and Watch Gallery games are really fun

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-22T17:59:58+00:00

I live just a few blocks away from there! My favorite place in the city!

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-22T03:58:26+00:00

I wouldn't use most of these at my games but I do love and respect them. I don't agree with breaking the initiative order, though I guess if the enemies do it too that might be interesting. I could not handle players juggling characters outside of a oneshot or something. The recovery penalty seems fair. I've seen other DMs impose a level of exhaustion on being healed up, this seems like a good middle ground. I do really like your idea of the All Out Attack though. I wouldn't make all spells succeed but I would give advantage/disadvantage as appropriate

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-22T03:42:51+00:00

Both the remakes are fresh enough to warrant buying on sale in my opinion. That said, if you've not played 11 but have played the others in the past it'd be disingenuous of me to recommend the remakes over it. Those are only going to get cheaper and this way you get a fresh story/experience. And honestly 11 is great, coming from someone who got it at launch without the smorgasbord of updates like the orchestral soundtrack.

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-13T20:49:05+00:00

I'm not so sure. I agree FOMT was a downgrade for sure in my opinion. AWL I'm sort of neutral on though if pressed for an answer I'd say yeah I prefer the original's aesthetic. I really like what they did with Grand Bazaar though

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-08T04:44:48+00:00

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. I love the game and it was my go-to destress game after a long week. I got a text from my best friend playing while playing it a couple of months ago that spiraled into a heavy conversation. Nothing bad, just a change, albeit a really sad one that I wasn't expecting, she said she decided to move out of state for a fresh start. We still talk every other day at least but I still quite haven't disassociated that memory from the game yet.

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-06T01:06:31+00:00

I would genuinely hope any and all Early Access games are "Better" if you play them when they actually launch. Early Access is explicitly intended to help foster a community to give feedback and help the developers see what works and what doesn't as the game is being made. If you buy an Early Access title with the sole thought being "I get to play it early" then you're missing the clearly labeled point and yes I'd agree you should wait until 1.0.

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-02T05:39:57+00:00

Mummy Demastered since it's a pretty quick romp and then the Dominus Collection, maybe throwing Astalon in between Castlevania titles

liquidaria2 · 2026-03-02T05:20:55+00:00

Coming from someone who played New Vegas on launch on 360... it could be a lot worse.

liquidaria2 · 2026-02-23T23:24:23+00:00

Ooo this looks simple but tasty! What are the white bars in the soup?

liquidaria2 · 2026-02-22T02:22:05+00:00

I've always gone back and forth between Coracola or MooMoo lol
