Play the best Pokemon game Legends Arceus

Already did back in 2022 and I really enjoyed it (but I didn't have a great replay value either - at least for me)

 

The team I put together for Violet included H-sneasel, H-growlithe and Goomy (to evolve in H-Goodra)

Guys, I need some advice: is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition good for someone who has never played any game of the franchise?

 

I need a new game after finishing TOTK a few months ago, but after that masterpiece I am struggling to find anything interesting. XCDE seems nice and it's currently on sale in the Nintendo eshop

XC1 shows its age a bit now, but if you like classic RPGs and excellent exploration, I definitely recommend.

 

Then you can play XC2, the best in the series

 

Then you can wait for whatever Xeno‐ game they release next

The Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy is one of the best things to happen to gaming in recent decades. The three games are incredibly well connected, culminating with XC3 which provides an amazing and beautiful ending to the story that begins in XC:DE. 

 

XC:DE is the start of the trilogy as it has already been mentioned. The story is crazy good and the battle system is perhaps the best way to access the franchise. It is far more accessible than the one in XC2 but less interesting and fun than the one in XC3. 

 

XC2 may have the franchise's most iconic characters and the Blade system which is really good (ignoring the gacha system). The story, as I said, is crazy good as well.

 

And finally, you have XC3 which closes the trilogy with both characters from XC1 and XC2 and tons of references. This game was such a beautiful way to end the trilogy, the story is amazing as well (don't listen to people in this thread, they think hating on this game is cool or something). The battle system is, in my opinion, the best out of the three games and the characters are also amazing. The DLC is really good too as you will see if you get it

XC1 is the only Xenoblade game I truly love, but what a game it is. I've seen the battle system been described as a little boring compared to the sequels, but as somebody who generally found fighting in 2 and 3 to be a little irritating and sometimes overwhelming, I like it well enough.

 

Main draw is definitely the world and exploration though!

 

 

I'm not a huge hater of 2 though, it's a good time. Even if it did attract the hentai-brained fans to the series unfortunately.

Saw this at a record store yesterday and thought it was interesting that the label is Curaga Records

Haven't listened to it yet, but the holo cover was really cool IRL

Did you remind them that Ms. Daisy still can't book a game?

I tried playing Xenoblade Chronicles and it bored me to death…

Cleared omg

 

Daisy stans have been a bit brave after a few payola'd appearances

XC3 is one of my absolute favorite games! The music, the story, the characters, the DLC I still have to play XCD.

 

I'm currently playing Pokemon BDSP and I have to say that I find the game a bit boring. It's nice to play a classic 2D Pokemon game again, but somehow BDSP doesn't click for me.

[Rence]

XC3 has one of the strongest first acts I've ever played in a JRPG but it goes downhill from there really fast. I still consider the end of Chapter 5 to the start of Chapter 6 as the peak of the whole series but it can't carry the rest of the game being mediocre and uninspired.

 

Future Redeemed DLC cleared the main game tho

Oh, here's the tea. I think it has the best premise of any XC game, but so many of the story decisions are irredeemably bad. Like that random fight in Ch 4 between the two side characters who have ZERO motivation for fighting each other  And the villain being a cookie cutter antagonist with no narrative drive behind their actions. And the forced romance. And the protagonist being dull as hell.

 

I was the biggest Xeno- stan here before XC3 launched, but even I was forced to acknowledge the game's glaring weaknesses. (And this isn't to mention gameplay weaknesses, like the terrible side quest design, map design being worse than XC1, XC2, and XCX, etc.)

Thank you for your insights 

 

I got the XCDE right before the sale was over in the end, but I don't know when I'll be able to play it

So. Is the "leaked plan" of a general direct this month & Switch 2 reveal in June still in the books or what.

I guess it depends if the switch two is a Q4 release or not. I can't imagine them announcing it in June if it's (allegedly) not coming out until March 2025. Typically they're pretty good at having a gold turn around rate between reveals and releases 

[Ewan Chaos]

Yeah I always thought that a June reveal for a Q1 2025 release felt... odd. Maybe they have one game they really wanna push as a holiday title instead of relying on Switch 2 preorders as their holiday "purchase" (that's what I'd imagine would make the most sense with like... an October reveal). Oh well, guess we'll see.

She's being sabotaged by the misogynist Miyamoto regime I fear

I would imagine that the September Direct is going to be for the announcement of the new console. The only other thing I could see is an announcement in the June Direct and then further promotion in the September Direct.

Oh Miyamoto...

 

[Eóghan]

i don't know what he's hinting at but John Cena would pull off Ganondorf easy, he's one of the few who got the face feature and body. as for for acting skills, y'all should watch the HBO show 'Peacemaker', he's proven his excellent range in it. now they just need to confirm Hunter Schafer and we good to go.

 

honestly i'm not worried about casting, i'm more worried about the awful director they attached to the project and the bad script that nintendo will put together
