It was the Shania Suicide, it felt so forced & badly written, to me. I was cringing the whole time Looks like with have exact opposite opinion on Shania Also the part where Gondor said she made up the "What about the other 1000s of people" statement, cuz muh prophecy i was already fed up with the plot by then, but these 2 basically was the straw that broke the camels back. Also when Eunie hinted she might be into Taion... she was so close to being flawless, but i see now she's just a stupid ***** Spoiler What exactly did you not like about the suicide? It wasn't even really a suicide per se, in that she believes she will be reborn as Moebius. (I'm not sure if that's true or not, but she seemed to, hence her yelling, "This is only the beginning!") It also feels like too minor a thing to be a "jump the shark" moment since she was only in one chapter of the game And that other stuff hasn't happened so it must be in Ch. 6, so thanks for the spoilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Summer Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I’m so stuck on this completely random chapter 5 battle Spoiler It’s the part where you have to gather intel on the castle and prison - I’ve done the half where you infiltrate the tower on the island full of Agnian troops, but the other one where you gather data from a small ship is killing me. Two Levnises, legendary strength or whatever but at my exact level, which call a bunch of Agnian troops (slightly below my level) as reinforcements immediately when the battle starts. I die so fast every time, no matter what classes and items and gems I try - I can’t even take out a single Agnian Medic to stop them from healing before my entire party is just tanked, even if I’m using Noah as Ethel’s class and trying to max my damage and crit rate. It feels like such a random difficulty spike out of nowhere. Do I really just need to overlevel to get past it or is there something I’m missing? I’m playing on hard mode if that’s relevant, but I’m not willing to turn that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m playing on hard mode if that’s relevant, but I’m not willing to turn that down. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!! It was so random how they were pulverizing me out of nowhere. I had always been the same levels as enemies until that part, but when I suddenly couldn't advance, I went and did side quests, leveled up a few levels, then came back to it and it was easy. I was still only 3-4 levels higher than the end-chapter bosses, so I didn't feel super overleveled and those battles were still challenging. 28 minutes ago, youreyesgocold said: I finally caught up to here and my rankings are probably the same as yours, with all the Agnus Interlinks winning except for Sena.

Well I guess that’s why it’s kind of nice you’re free to choose. If I understand correctly you could also just use a normal chain, and on your third and fourth round just use orders from two interlink partners and have your final order be an Ouroboros one instead. That’s fun too and I’m sure for the sake of combo building against UMs it’s probably more worth it to do more rounds than just two (even if the two are powered up rounds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fun too and I’m sure for the sake of combo building against UMs it’s probably more worth it to do more rounds than just two (even if the two are powered up rounds) Yeah, I always just do it this way, which I prefer overall. I have two minor issues with it though: 1. It strongly discourages using hero orders. Since the hero obviously can't be part of an ouroboros order, if you use one, you have to pray the other orders will be a matched pair, and I don't like praying to RNGsus. 2. If you want to do, say, Mio and Noah as your first 2 orders because you want their completion bonus, you're forced into doing their ouroboros order on turn 3 (and ending chain) or skipping the ouroboros order for good since it doesn't come back if you don't pick it. I think it would make more sense if it returned in the next lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magickarp Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Pop pop123 said: XC3 is so awkward and preachy . I don’t know if it’s the actual writing or simply the localization is to blame. The dialogue is so bad . The goofy villains The writing is very immature that it clashes with theme of the game being so dark. Hide contents There were moments the game did it right. Eunie seeing her husk and her flashback with the consul was excellent. That one scene when Ethel and Cammuravi were dying. The “half arsed” line from the consul made me spat out my drink because of hilariously bad it was. I do agree that the game is tethering the line of being too melodramatic and takes itself way too seriously. AND PREACHY I’d like to add that as well. I was rolling my eyes…chile. I got way generic by the end. It’s weird because XC2 also have plenty of power friendship moment but they feel so much more natural to me. XC3 just feels odd and generic. The gameplay is fantastic but everything else sucked unfortunately . cutscenes in 2 often feel like a reward after playing the game. It’s the opposite in XC3. I don’t want to sit through another preachy cutscene. Monolith really should’ve just made XC2 again (with 3 gameplay improvements) but without the horny. but they dial it to an 11 with the villains that it becomes comical . OH MY GOD, FINALLY the way i've been pathetically searching forums for someone sharing my opinion desperately looking for approval I was rolling my eyes throughout too. Completely agree with everything above. U said it better than i could, especially abt the XC2 power of friendship stuff. And yeah ur right i forgot about the PREACHINESS as well. I was trying not to be negative too, especially when everyone was just starting & enjoying it, but i couldn't help myself after awhile The beginning was good, & had a lot of potential. It even hooked me faster than XC2. But it just didn't lead up to much. The way my fave moment of the whole game was XC2 related.

thatsmydemi Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Splatoon 3... Why would they reuse the same 4 modes from Splatoon 2? Why not add something new? I like some things I've seen but they are pretty much irrelevant because you'll spend most of the time playing the same modes we already played in the last entry.

KaledKalil Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The Splatoon direct just shows that they don't know anything new to do with this franchise. I really enjoyed the first Wii U one, but this franchise is serving Fifa 2020/21/22/23... with nothing new. It baffles me that they don't do a two players vs in one console mode to this day.

youreyesgocold Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The Splatoon 3 direct just confirmed what I said the other day which is that they are releasing another stage/weapon pack. This game series needs to move to the free to play model of other games and charge per weapon type or stage you want to add. How can we be on game 3 and I still feel like it’s not worth the investment when I’ve only ever owned the first game? Maybe someone who had 2 can sell me on the changes in the follow up games but they just don’t seem worth it (not that I’m still playing the first game on WiiU anymore anyways). Why pay $90 on this when half the solo experience is locked behind dlc and there’s already a ton of other games coming to play (Pokémon and Bayonetta in just a couple months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
