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 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. 😩
