have spent nearly the whole day in Xenoblade Chronicles X and I'm having a great time. I can't believe how great it looks and runs on my OLED in handheld mode. slowly starting to get to grips with the various systems, of which there are a lot (it's pretty overwhelming)
still in chapter 3 so early days
the one downer is the inventory/gear system. you pick up *so* much stuff, and managing your party members gear/upgrades/skills is a pain in the arse as it's so fiddly
I have no idea what all the numbers mean when I look at a piece of gear. I realised after about 5 hours that one of my party members was still wearing her starter gear with zero defense because I hadn't equipped all the new stuff I kept picking up
after another day running around Mira in #XenobladeChroniclesX I'm starting to figure out the game's systems enough to know what's good, what upgrades to spend my points on, and how to make a "build" instead of just upgrading random shit
spent a bit of time messing about with the customisable Soul Voices so they trigger more often and I can keep my parties health and TP topped up in battle
this game is very VERY good
@COMPU73E I’ve enjoyed my little bit of time with it, but I dunno that it’ll be a game I’ll be able to do handheld. Bit squinty for me. Let’s hope that Switch 2 has a bigger screen?
@DoubleAA I'm playing 100% handled mode on an OLED with the slightly bigger screen and it's fine for me, even with my shitty eyesight
@COMPU73E Wanna trade eyes?
I mean, I can totally see everything and make out the text, but the eyestrain isn’t worth it for me. And I just got new glasses like a month ago.
