Does this game ever get good? I liked the first game (years ago) and XBX is ok but this shit is so difficult to get through. Combat is incredibly boring but more importantly the game is just juvenile as fuck. I get Switch games are for kids but I'm not sure if I can deal with something this childish for 80 hours.
Does this game ever get good...

none of the games in this series are good
Cooper Smith
I guess so. I'm shocked people give the combat in this a pass.

It's Cody Lee here, author of Eye of the Dragon, Rabbit Hole, King Dio and the upcoming Jaw of the Dragon. My disdain for Xenoblade Chronicles knows no bounds. I hate this IP with a passion. Good work, I'll see you on the discord.

I have about 50hrs on my save and still have no clue how the combat works, the story isn't that good, the quest design reminds me of generic 2010s MMORPGs and the character designs are atrocious. But for some reason I like it lol
Oliver Turner
It has the best combat out of all the xenoblade games by far. I want to strangle the idiot that put double-cooldowns in X.
Landon Baker
No.
Grayson Fisher
No. The story is poorly written and awfully paced. The heroes are honest fools and the villains are Skeletor-tier psychopaths, there's no nuance. The quest design makes everything a horrific slog. The gacha elements are cancer and only there to waste your time. The combat is as complex as an idle clicker and yet somehow more convoluted and arcane than fucking Virtua Fighter.
Caleb Myers
Nope. Fuck off tranny OP.
ANYWAY, for any XENOCHADS look to get the XB3 Collectors Edition, I have a userscript to check the status for you. You wouldn't allow your game to be scalped, would you?

The combat takes a while to get going but it feels great once you understand how it works.
If you haven't yet, be sure to go into each character's affinity chart and unlock the "combo arts into arts" node, plus the ones that let you start a battle with your arts already full. Also be sure to use pouch items, they can massively increase the speed at which your arts and specials recharge.

combat in xenoblade 1 is OK if you get used to it and bstter than fucking stranger of paradise

>and still have no clue how the combat works
1. Cancel your auto-attacks into Arts
2. Use your Arts to setup Driver Combos (Break -> Topple -> Launch -> Smash) and gain Special
3. Use your Specials to setup Blade combo (series of three elemental Specials, following the elemental chart that pops up in the top right corner, of a level equal or greater to their position in the combo), which result in the creation of Elemental Orbs
4. Once your Party Gauge is filled, use Chain Attacks to break Elemental Orbs for massive damage, each Orbs has 3 HP, Specials automatically target and deal 2 damage to their elemental opposite (Fire/Water, Wind/Ice, Earth/Lightning, Light/Dark). If no orb of the opposite element is present, the Special will target an orb at random and deal 1 damage (it's possible to craft Aux Core that prioritize damaged orbs if there's no opposite, or that instantly destroy opposite element orbs)
5. If you destroy 5 Elemental Orbs in one Chain Attack (or less if you manage to destroy multiple orbs in one round), you'll enter Full Burst, immediately breaking all the orbs and having your whole party execute level 4 Specials for massive damage
Landon Brown
not reading that shit, faggot. I've watched the game and I'm not touching it. Only thing I like is Pyra.
Levi Diaz
I prefer combat in 1 over 2
Nicholas James
combo your combos into bigger combos into bigger combos
Ayden Hill
Is pyra even good in the game? I hear that not only ate there other blades better than her but mythra pretty much makes her obsolete
Tyler Young
I love you...
...and all you guys!
Jeremiah Morris
I didn't play game and never will. Pyra is just for cooming purposes. Mythra is ugly as fuck.
Anthony Kelly
Not really, for most uses Mythra is better due to her instant art rechrage.
However you can always switch to her if you need a Fire element for some specific combo, which is nice.
Juan Lopez
Story was pretty shhit, but music was top tier and seeing BIG numbers was always fun. I like it, but it does require some level of autsim.
Oliver Young
>bstter than fucking stranger of paradise
Okay now that's wrong
Adrian Turner
>Mythra is ugly as fuck
>ugly
have you ever played modern triple A western games? Mythra is the goddess of beuty compared to the diversity baboons in westoid games
Jordan Jackson
Nothing is good in this game. There's a reason Any Forums calls this gane one of the worst ever.
Holy based!!!!
Even five years later we're still finding more things wrong with XB2! This may be a contender among the Superman 64s and Big Rigs's of the world.
Kayden Mitchell
Actual chad shit. You have to be the most mentally ill person ever to even like any aspect of XB2.
Christopher Bennett
Too fucking based
