Not sure how a game can ripoff a game that came out after it...
Nor how a main cast that's pretty 50/50 male and female all look like the all male boy band of the FF15 main characters...

I agree the soundtrack had major issues. The thing is...the majority of the songs are great, in particular the area themes for each continent.
But the NLA themes (day and especially night) and main battle themes (Black Tar, both versions) are fucking atrocious and you'll be hearing those 4 songs for like 50% of your play time.
Shame, really. XCX also has a lot of amazing tracks that get overshadowed by the horrible ones (a few others are really bad, but don't get used much at least).

Okay sorry I was confused and forgot there was a new game.

Its chronicles X that caters to weebs

Uh...XC2 is way more anime than XCX.
XCX is almost like a Western RPG by comparison.
Like...have you seen the cutscene for Poppy QT Mode? That's more anime than actual anime.

Its okay if you dont like it. Xenoblade 2 makes a LOT of polarizing decisions that youll either love or hate, with very little in between. Its one of my favorite JRPGs ever, but I absolutely understand why others wouldnt feel the same.


I have a theory about people who like xenoblade chronicles 2

Would you mind helping me test this by posting your top 5 favorite anime?

How much does one have to like XC2 for your test?
I liked it overall, but thought it had plenty of issues and poor decisions and find it to be the worst game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Would rate it 7/10 (with 5/10 being average...I don't inflate my scores)

I definitely try to be logically consistent in my views as close to always as possible.
I usually end up butting heads w/ both the extreme left and extreme right due to that stance, so I guess I'm doing a good job of it.

One example: Being pro-choice
I don't think anybody should be forced to become a parent unwillingly and contraceptives and medical options should be readily available such that people who care about not being a parent till they're ready (or never) can pretty much be assured they will get to choose when/if they do.
Which...means I argue w/ the far right a lot.

BUT!
Being logically consistent....that basic right to not be forced into parenthood unwillingly (and certainly not as a "punishment" for promiscuity...why would anyone want a child to be seen as a punishment?) extends to both men and women. So I fully support "legal abortions" for would-be dads to sign away their parental rights and be free of any obligations to support the child. Which...leads to me arguing w/ the far left a lot, who seem to think only women shouldn't face "the punishment" of parental obligations for their lifestyle choices.

Huh who would have guessed this pipeline was a terrible idea

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

Theyve had a few spills ... more than you would hope to have on a line thats still fairly new, said Carl Weimer, executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust in Bellingham, Washington, a nonprofit promoting pipeline safety.

Keystone has leaked substantially more oil, and more often, in the United States than the company indicated to regulators in risk assessments before operations began in 2010, according to a Reuters review in 2017.

Huh, imagine that.... A pipeline that leveraged sheer political partisan football to ram through its approval without adequately studying its environmental concerns first ended up being less reliable than claimed. But why? Why would the industry that stood to massively financially benefit from it opening as soon as possible and who knows that executives are never held accountable for their criminal decisions by the government....lie to us? It...it just doesn't make any sense!

Trick or Treating was fucking awesome for me, Halloween was always my favorite holiday when I was in school. I kept doing it through senior year of high school. The last year I did it, a cop stopped me and searched my bag, assuming someone my age being out was up to no good. When all he found in the bag was candy and no TP or eggs or anything and he seemed shocked and disappointed, I knew it was time to stop.

Now it's a useless holiday for me. Sad. :(

Well, it's good to see that justice may be served... although 20 years? >_> 10 seems enough to drive a message home.

20 is the max possible sentence, chances are she'll get a small fraction of that at best. The real problem is the insane sentencing ranges our justice system has, which just opens things up for disparity and unfair treatment. Of course, the threat of the huge max possible sentence exists to try and coerce the accused into taking a plea deal and not even go to trial, to the point that it's often smarter/easier to just admit guilt and take the deal even if innocent rather than risk it.

I agree 10 years would be fine for this.

Oh no, a game you want is on another website than your favorite one! The horror! It reminds me of console port begging, which is also widely seen as pathetic. But at least there's a tangible reason behind that: the large cost of buying another console and controllers, etc...

I don't want us getting into new wars, but if just having 50 dudes chill with the Kurds was keeping all hell from breaking loose, then that was a worthwhile use of the troops and her going crazy over it was...off-putting.


This person on reddit did a pretty good round up

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/dk6tuo/comment/f4bchcv?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

- The stuff w/ impeachment and especially her comments defending Assange disturb me as well, I should have mentioned, and yeah I have no defense for that stuff. Like I said, her last debate in particular was unnerving, like she is shifting gears for a Fox News anchor spot or something.
- Her attacking and resigning from DNC was justified and I first grew to like her for that. They were unfairly favoring Hillary and she threw away a fast rise to the top to make a stand.
- Where and when did she "tout" her past support for gay conversion therapy? She was brought up in a very religious and conservative household and initially supported those, but realized they were wrong when she served overseas and saw the true horrors of theocracy and religion guiding politics.
- Her meeting w/ Assad has been explained.... She's strongly anti-interventionalist and willing to talk to our enemies and attempt diplomacy. She goes further than I would, but it's not some nefarious scheme...
- Used what Project Veritas video as proof, when, and proof of what? Granted, anything from PV is lies and slander, but maybe at the time they hadn't been exposed yet? If it was the past several years then yeah, she has some explaining to do...
- I don't give a flying fuck about people throwing around the "Islamophobe" smear at her just b/c she doesn't openly support the same factions most Democrats do, if anything it's a positive for me.
- According to that image, she votes Progressive 90% of the time and 73% on "critical issues" (and that's so vague it doesn't mean much to me on its own), it seems she has an "F" mainly b/c her district is deep blue and she doesn't match it, rather than on the merits of her record alone. She's always been a moderate Democrat, so...duh? Just b/c guys like McCain are fake "mavericks" on the other side doesn't mean Dem moderates have to actually be far-left in disguise.

Just going down most of that list. Seems like some valid points and a whole lot of attempting to smear her and making big reaches.

Hillary is just your bog standard corporate owned corrupt warmongering conservative politician that is common across both Republican and Democratic parties.

Merkel:
1) Backed the Euro against any proposed changes to it to deal with the inherent inequalities it wrought. Basically, Germany is experiencing an inordinate economic boom at the expense of poorer European countries. Normally when a country's economy is failing, its currency naturally devalues and thus its products can compete internationally more easily and the country recovers. The reverse happens to a booming economy, tamping down growth. But because the one currency is shared, the poorer countries continue to decline while the currency remains relatively strong, and Germany gets to continue pumping out exports w/o overly strengthening the Euro.
2) Strongly pushed insanely open borders to allow in a flood of refugees (which...coincidentally, most affects the southern and coastal European countries, which make up most of the financially struggling ones from above) against a wave of backlash.

Those two things are the chief reasons that far right and neo-nazi parties have seen a massive resurgence across Europe.

So...Merkel gets my vote for worse.

EDIT: Bonus round! Doesn't really matter to me b/c literally every country does it, but... She very vocally complained about the U.S. spying on Germany only for it to be revealed less than a year later that Germany spies on the U.S., too

I like that the dude is dressed like a total slut but no one cares cause people only get bent out of shape over female attire

You have to give the healer healing type blades

Destiny posted...
the healer doesn't have a single fuckin' healing attack

She should have some with her default Blade, the tiger.

Beyond that, attacks are based on weapon type, which comes from the Blade. Bitball weapons are basically healing weapons, try to get some Blades with that for her. There's a few other weapon types that are primarily healing, but I forget which they are... Any Blade that's classified as "HLR" should provide her at least one healing art.
And the tank should have an art to defend and gradually heal for a bit, it actually heals quite a lot.

Note there's 4 arts for each weapon on each character, you pick 3 of the 4. The default 3 are almost always not the best combo, so switch some out for better arts, maybe.

Right now it isn't sure if he's majority or minority as he may have to work with other parties, particularly with the NDP but despite a surge in popularity for Singh, it sure didn't show in the voting as NDP vote FELL as strategic voting of progressives stayed with Trudeau

First past the post voting is a cancer on democracy.

those games just look boring, grindy af and tedious. more power to you if you find that shit fun, ok?

The only truly grindy parts are the post game in Xenoblade X if you want the best skells and weapons and gear for them and in XC2 with the damn blade gacha system (btw, after at least 600 attempts including many w/ rares and legendaries, I never got KOS-MOS, just gave up eventually) for blades if you want them all.

If anything, it's a struggle to keep my xp level from getting too high in all the Xenoblade games, and trivializing things.

what the fuck

Literally a tradition since the first Xenoblade game, they even give him a similar name each time to let you know they're intentionally trolling you.

Xenoblade is ostensibly an RPG, but actually also a stealth game :p

I mean...those sorts of misdirections (in either direction; thinking a fight is winnable when it's not is worse if anything) are only really an issue if the game has items and other expendables that you don't bother to use b/c you assume it's unwinnable or do use and waste b/c it is unwinnable.
Not sure why in a game like XC2 it even matters, there's nothing like that to worry about. Just try to win every fight. Even the unwinnable ones usually require you do do a certain amount of damage before the cutscene kicks in.

probably because the boss could kill me in three hits is why i figured it was an unwinnable fight

Yeah...I think you were just underleveled... Level 5 sounds low for that point, maybe level 8+ by then is more expected. What difficulty are you playing on?

dammit

a fight that is presented as unwinnable "this is the STRONGEST PERSON IN THE WORLD ur gonna LOSE for SURE"

is, in fact, winnable and is what you have to do

And no, that's not justice. He deserved some prison time for such severe negligence leading to her death.


That's not really negligence, that's a legitimate accident. If it was procedure to not use a real gun at all and he decided he'd use blanks for effect, then you'd have a case. However, if this is normal procedure and he loaded the wrong ammo, that's not really negligent. Every death doesn't have to end with somebody going to prison.

The negligence is loading the wrong ammunition in the gun.
If you're going to point a real gun at an innocent person and fire it for a training exercise (again, no idea why the fuck it's even necessary), you better damn well make sure you're not packing real bullets into that damn gun!
