Nintendo Gaming / Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Life on Mira.
« on: February 26, 2016, 07:46:00 PM »
If we could get a group of 4 to go after Ygg and farm tickets, I would be up for it. I would love it actually. I need a ton of a tickets.


I didn't run into any issues getting through the game proper, nor the squad missions I've played so far, but now that I'm in the post-story parts, I might need it. Are there any good guides out there I could follow? It's a real pain to figure out all this stuff in the game, I may be an insomniac but I still value my time more than that.


For ground gear you want Melee Attack XX (LOTS OF THEM), Overdrive Extend XX, Arts: Gain TP XX, Nullify [Whatever element you've invested in] Reflect, Art Cooldown XX (not sure if there is one for ground gear), and Potential Up/Boost XX. Throw in HP UP and TP UP augments. You combine it with Skills like Fast Forward and other skills that improve melee combos and chain overdrive and melee combos. Early Bird (a Dual Gun Aura) increases critical chance and Skill that increases it in combos works as well. You should be able to chain overdrives like that and essentially spam attacks. With my incomplete set up (not all the augments I want yet) I can set up for a 10-times attack dealing 20k dmg (at least against Telethia Plume so far).  I use Spears and Dual Guns....so I'm the odd person. Most people use Swords, Dual Guns, and Dual Swords.


Skell augmenting is for fun. Ares 90 is powerful enough, but you can augment normal level 60s enough to make them more powerful. Depends on whether you want to 100% the game or not.

Can someone explain to an Australian what the hell the tipping system in America is? I it true that waiter's only get paid in tips and not a proper wage? Because that would make waiting the worst job ever.
Most waitresses/waiters make more money in tips then they would getting paid normally. And tips are tax free.

@Enner- How many Storage probes, Duplicator, and copy probes? And layout if you don't mind (Think I can figure that out on my own though). I'm at 90k miranium limit and I'm struggling to find more probes. Materials aren't a problem to me. At all. I actually am just missing Crude Neilhail Masks and the miranium and the masks aren't that much of a problem.

You know what is soul-sucking? Grinding for True Comms armor.  I don't think I'm going to grind for another set even it is so bad. Hell I'll go a grind 4 Ares 90s before that happens.

Hopefully when the day comes to servers go away, there is a contingency patch.

@Evan- The story is okay. Not as good as the first Xenoblade at all. The first one had far superior characters and story.  X offers better gameplay and a lot more staying power post game. Each game is a masterpiece in its own way. For that I am content even if the lack of great character and story is left on the wayside.

Pro tip: Grinding Joker the Unknowable in the Divine Roost is a good idea after you get an Ares 70. Agasura Cannon (whatever it is called) can take him out instantly. Killing him and all the Blattas around him in 2 shoots adds up to around a 100 class points. Takes about 20 minutes to finish a single branch of the three. He also has good drops including a rare chance at dropping an Ultra Diamond Lance which comes with amazing TP boosting augments.


I like how joining a Conquest Squad means nothing because I can still never get anyone to join for Ygg. Which sucks because trying to craft all the True Comms armor requires a ton of tickets.

Okay, I made my first real lvl 60 Skell. It is the Ares 70.



Holy crap this thing is so wonderful. And easy to craft. Now I can make the other lvl 60 models easier. Grinding Yggralith for tickets is doable now.

Just beat it myself


Some loose ends I'm sure will be covered up in preceding affinity missions. The ending itself was pretty good. Nowhere near as good as the first Xenoblade, but still nice and left me with a smile.


Time to unlock my beautiful Verus Cain first. Then work on the others. Probably hunt down the level 60 Skell weapon recipes. I should probably work on my ground gear first tbh...


I also cheesed the final boss.

The story is also more old-time whimsical fantasy without all the angst and, well, trying to be so damn cool that RPGs have had since FF7.  I'm not a teen anymore.  I don't care what's cool.  If anything I find cool annoying.  The game isn't trying to be cool and has very traditional gameplay - it's appealing to me because I'm an old fart! Ha!


This. I miss the old fantasy setting and story for RPGs. No one does it anymore. That is why when I recently played Ys the series was a huge hit for me. It is textbook fantasy. It was a major appeal of the game.

Hosihdo sounds like garbage and more of the same with Awakening. Nohr sounds like older Fire Emblem. Limited units and money sounds like fun. Wonder how long it takes to break a difficulty.....


Will still pick it up down the road later, if only 1 version sounds like it is worth it.

I used to believe the wind direction argument until I played it again a few years later (GCN version) and then I just didn't see it as much of an annoyance as it was before.

Started up after a break. Found out file items are actually craft recipes (that would have been nice to know). Got the Excavator Skell now I just need to reach level 60 (at level 57). Almost BLADE Level 10.


So far I've realized a truth about this game. Skell customization is fun. Ground customization isn't. I am not happy with how there are so many classes focused on TP gain when TP builds so slowly (unless I'm doing it wrong). So being stuck with a Ramjet rifle and whatever melee I prefer  which isn't much fun. Add to that armor isn't very good  either and expensive as hell. And how most enemies anymore are built for Skells to be fighting. Not a ground crew. So trying to get into the Ganglion Antropolis is a pain in the ass.


Excited to start up H.B. to work towards getting the Police Skell model. I am not excited to start working with H.B.


Those Gwin affinity missions? I skipped all the scene. I don't even know what I was doing. I just didn't want to hear it.

If ALBW is any hint to go on, then Nintendo has realized the dislike for the padding and has cut down on it.

Zelda isn't the system seller it once was and this game is not looking to be that here.
Because it is coming extremely late to the Wii U party. It's missed the prime time to hit shelves and there won't be another opportunity like it. It is going to be shuffled onto the Wii U at the latter end of the console's lifetime when nothing is going to be much of a system seller because it has run it's course.


Had it come last year or the year before, it might have been. Splatoon/Smash and Zelda as a duo? That would have been a major system seller.


If Nintendo had shown off more of what the Wii U can do with Zelda, other then just two short ass videos not showing much of anything, then it would have been better. The development time (assuming because "HD is hard for Nintendo") and the lack of anything showing off the game is hurting it. Look at the original post in the thread. We have 3 things we know about the game. Open world, it's pretty, and bullet time. That's it. I'm not sold on it and I'm a giant Zelda fanboy.

Was there someone in there seriously claiming that anyone who uses their gaming system for anything other then gaming is just a time waster or something?
Damn they beat me to it

PC won't die (not anytime soon anyways),but damn I hate that Steam is the industry leader there and I would much prefer GoG if they got more games.

General Gaming / Re: Are you more of a gamer or a collector?
« on: February 11, 2016, 08:46:16 AM »
I'm a gamer mostly, but that saddled me with over a 100+ games so partial collector and amiibo (when I get around to it). When games I'm interested in has a special edition then I go and get it as long as the content is fine. XCX Special Edition....the jump drive killed it for me so I bailed on that.

If you don't want to hear "spoilers" on announcements before they are announced, then don't open a editorial titled "rumor cats"

I have nostalgic memories of playing Fuzion Frenzy and Dead or Alive with my family so I can't hate it.

but it was a gigantic, heavy box and no one really had any faith in Microsoft at the time.
That never changed

General Gaming / Re: What's YOUR favorite game?
« on: February 04, 2016, 07:39:54 PM »
I could never peg down 1 favorite game so I'll just list the few I hold in extremely high regard.

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask- The best application of the Zelda formula to date and probably hands down my favorite game of all time.

Xenoblade Chronicle- I never liked the Xeno games, but this one had a memorable world and loved this game.

Final Fantasy XII- Large world, large content, wondeful combat system, money is well applied, and plenty of superbosses.

And as of recent I'd have to add Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War because the game itself has a beautiful flow and story too it.

Wind Waker seemed to be mainly improved lighting. Which is all it really needed as you can see because it is gorgeous with it.
