Has it been mentioned anywhere yet how soon in FE three houses you pick a side? I assume the game’ll give you time with all the characters before making you choose

I watched a Game Informer video and it seems like 30 minutes to an hour of walking around and talking to people before you make a decision. When you speak to a lord it gives you details on all the units in that house.

So I finally picked one of these up, seems dumb with the update around the corner but I've played a whopping zero hours handheld. My fiancee has and like it, but she's planning on getting a lite later this year anyway. I grabbed let's go Eevee, oddesey, and smash. The only other games on my radar are Mario kart, fire emblem and stardew valley for the 4th time. Anything else worth getting at the moment?

Hollow Knight and Into the Breach if you haven’t played them

Alright, so I love everything about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 except for these two things, which make me hate the game overall:

  • Goddamn anime bullshit (Persona 5 is fine, FE3H is fine, there is a line that XB2 crosses)
  • Having my main fire blade taken away from me for plot reasons right before the least fun dungeon in the game, only to find that I need to find a sufficiently leveled fire blade to progress

Will I enjoy Xenoblade Chronicles 1?

I'm a few pages late, but when the Internet fucks up a hard reset helps and yes, as far as I know plucking her out of the dock is the only way to do it.

the best it gives you is divvying up the chapters into bite-sized selectable chunks, but without telling you which bit contains which Red Cases

i just finished Case 6 and good lord these stages go on forever

I think File 6 is just long. File 7 is shorter by a lot.

You’re valid. I can’t wait for my Pokémon one to arrive. Are you sure you won’t want that PS4 though?

I don’t know about my launch joy con because I traded them in, but my gf imported a pair of Splatoon joy con for me before the NA ones were a thing and those have drift.

Honestly? As much as I liked Spider-Man and Uncharted 4 and Persona 5, I don't see myself wanting to replay them again for another couple years or so, at which point the PS5 will be out and will also be able to play those games.

I’d want to keep my Yakuza Kingdom Hearts Souls Box, but hey! These video games are your property to sell as you please! Which color are you getting?

I disagree that Astral Chain’s pacing is bad

They’re going for something deliberate with the pacing of File 6/7/8 and I think it really works. I’m always appreciative when a developer goes all the way in on an idea.

Framerate dips on LA are definitely noticeable, but they haven’t impacted my enjoyment of the game (two dungeons in) so far at all.

well why not posted:

Finding it hard to dish out high damage in astral chain. I’m on File 7 (or perhaps 8) and I’m not sure what the best way to handle large enemies is. Each Legion has damage around 35, with sword lower for some reason. Am I missing something?

Are you upgrading the legions? I also never noticed a problem outside the final boss (who is much more difficult than the rest of the game).

Axiom Verge is really fun, and then there's a point where it just falls off a cliff. It's worth a play for the concepts and atmosphere, but it's the latter half is a mostly uninteresting slog.

I don't know if it's the port or the control scheme or the price or what, but What The Golf is amazing and I will not see it slandered so. At least give Apple $4.99 for a month of arcade and play it on your phone. Such a clever game.

If Metroid Prime Trilogy finally happens I’m in so hard and so fast.

I loved XC2’s environments and music, and the combat was pretty fun. I hated the character designs and the bullshit level where it took away all my powers and wanted me to have a high level fire blade after taking away my high level fire blade. (I quit.) Will I like XC1? Will it be good on the Lite?

I played a little of the first two as a kid but bounced off because I was dumb. I’m replaying them now and sometimes the necessary clicks are overly specific, in which case you can just cheat with a walkthrough.

But the characters are all super charming and the plot is interesting. Def worth at half off

Uhh I seem to remember that game being about beating up and capturing those animals and forcing them to fight with you against their own kind, yanking their chain occasionally so they don't escape.

I dunno if this is a bit but Astral Chain does have a cat rescuing component that is separate from the demon enslaving component

One of the worst things about a game I otherwise love very very much is that it never asks the hard questions about the demon enslavement. It could have gone to some very cool places and chose to do a shittier Evangelion thing instead

The discussion about MXR vs D5 reminds of the early days of the Switch where I was hankering first tactics real bad and neither of those games scratched the itch. Now we have Breach and Fire Emblem :) (and Xcom!)

I have also burned out on Animal Crossing, but after 250 hours of play time...so that is fine. My gf (not a gamer) is still going strong at 500.

I’m switching between Dead Cells and Ace Attorney right now. My recent Dark Souls epiphanies have made me better at Dead Cells.
