If we do get another Legends game, I really want it to be similar to Arceus in terms of gameplay. I don’t mind change, obviously, but I don’t want the Arceus formula yo completely change.
The relationship system no being as strong is really sad, because that’s really my favorite part, but the battle system is so good that I’ll probably get it.
I’m still going strong with Xenoblade 2, 115 hours in on Chapter eight. Is it just me, or is this game WAY longer than the other two? I’m loving it so much, and getting to know all the different Blades I’m finding is so fun. I’m still not sure yet, but I think the Expansion Pass will be the next game I buy. I can’t believe I was so uninterested in this game for so long. I’m also still plugging away at Rune Factory 4 in 15 minute increments😅, and I’ve almost finished the Paldea Pokédex.👏
There’s the obvious list of things we want with the new system, but one thing that I really want is for it to be similar enough to work with switch accessories, such as grips. It was a pain to have to wait for OLED editions of my accessories, and I would hate to do it again.
I played botw on Wii U in 2019, and I got my switch in 2021, but I haven’t replayed botw on switch because I want TotK to feel new and fresh, and I would hate to get burnt out on botw before playing TotK.
I’m juggling finishing the Scarlet ‘Dex, Rune Factory 4 Special, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I got some games for Christmas, so I’m a little bit overwhelmed at the moment. I’m 60 hours into Xenoblade 2 still, and loving it more than ever. I’ve just arrived at Leftherian Archipelago, but I’ve playing Pokémon the past few days, so I haven’t been able to make much more progress. Filling the Rare Blade affinity charts out is so fun.😆 I still need to do one of the two final Hero Quests in Xenoblade 3 too.😮💨
Xenoblade 2, mostly. Also Pokémon Scarlet, and Rune Factory 4 Special. I won’t touch any games I get for Christmas until I’ve finished RF and Xenoblade, just so I don’t overwhelm myself.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I’m surprised by how long it’s taking me to progress, but it’s not really a problem yet. I’m at the third area, second Titan if you don’t count the starting area, and 32 hours in. I’m having such a difficult time getting from one side of this huge area, all the way to the opposite side. I just keep dying, which is strange because I played 3 on Hard the whole time. I think I became a little too used to the reviving system in three, so I forget to keep my eye on the party gauge. Other than that, I’m still working on the Pokedex in Scarlet; 180 to go! Merry Christmas, everyone!
Literally the job of game devs. How on earth did the kid spend 7,700 hours in one game?! I thought I was addicted to Animal Crossing, and I’ve only spent 235 hours in it.😂 This is my I try to avoid games without a definite end.
Xenoblade 2! I’m so excited that I’ve finally been able to start. I’m about 20 hours in, and I’m on Chapter 3. The Blade system is really interesting, and I’m really seeing how Xenoblade 3 was a perfect mix of the first two games. I like all the characters so far, but I haven’t really played enough to get to know them well. The music is INSANE and the world design and compass mechanic are soooo good. I love Xenoblade so much.😊
I just finished Scarlet, and that ending was absolutely insane. I’ll probably do a the post game as fast as I can so I can get to starting Xenoblade 2!! I cannot wait, it feels like it’s been forever since I bought it.😆
I don’t know why, but this one hasn’t stuck with me as much.😭 Yet I say this as I’m playing and loving the game. I’m really excited to start Xenoblade 2, so I think I’ve been subconsciously rushing myself through Pokémon, but it has been a fun 60-hour break.😅 I’ll probably like it more as I play.
It’s been sitting on my shelf for about a month now, and I can’t wait to play it, though I need to finish Scarlet first. Xenoblade has quickly become one of my top favorite series.
Pokémon Scarlet. I’m about 25 hours in, and while I do like it, the gameplay isn’t as good as Arceus. I think it’s beat out Ultra Moon for m’y favorite main line game though. The music is fantastic, and the bugs aren’t as bad as some say, but I just wish there were a few changes. I personally wish it was a little less open, or that it had scaling. I haven’t played Rune Factory 4 Special in over a month, so I should probably put some time into that, and I’m almost done 100% Xenoblade 3. I should be able to start Xenoblade 2 after that. Busy schedule.😅
I definitely don’t hate the redesigns, but I don’t love them either. Cody’s is probably my least favorite; he just looks so basic. I don’t have too much of a problem with the other two you mentioned, but I do agree with you about the problems you pointed.
@Wexter, yeah. I just found out I’m running a temperature, so that could definitely have affected my enjoyment. I’ll probably continue when I get better.
Ngl, I was really upset at the score you gave it, but my copy came yesterday and I’ve been playing it all day. I’m still very early on, but I’m just not engaged in the gameplay. That might change later, but even then, there’s the graphics. They’re not nearly as bad as people were making them seem to be, but coming from Xenoblade 3, I wish it ran and looked better. Textures are absolutely terrible on buildings, etc. I hope I start having more fun with it soon.
I finished Xenoblade 3, but I still need to complete everything. My copy fro Scarlet was delayed to come in about 4 weeks, but I found a store that had one in stock, so I’ve just now started it. I’ll try to juggle it with Xenoblade and Rune Factory.
Wow, this is disappointing. I was really hoping this would score a lot better. Even so, I’ll probably end up being obsessed with it after I get my hands on it.
I’m going to have to work super hard to get all of these before the day after tomorrow; Scarlet/Violet release. I can come back and do the rest later, unless I can do it now, that is.
I need to complete this before Pokémon comes out in FOUR DAYS.😭 I’m 185 hours in, and I haven’t even finished the story. I am really loving the game though, and my playtime for it is only second to ACNH.
