I played it, but the combat is just too boring for me in general, all enemies seem like they have way too much HP. The free roaming and world in general are amazing though, you actually feel like you're a small insignificant survivor on an alien planet, the flora and fauna is so fucking varied and feels so natural, and you get fucked in the ass if you venture into the wrong place.

I want it. I've been waiting for a game I can play more casually.

When ever I play shit like Bayonetta or Smash 4 I have to be focused on everything around me or constantly thinking of the right move. But with this more...systematic battle style, I can just work with the fight as it goes on.

Or I don't have to fight at all. I could just explore the world and do odd jobs. And this music seems like it's setting me up for maximum comfy.

I see you guys down under have it as bad as we do, eh?

The guy at my EB Games thought I was talking about Xenoblade 3D and told me it was already out when I asked to preorder X.

I apologized and told him that I was preordering the sequel, that had yet to come out.

He checked, then apologized himself, and asked me if I wanted to subscribe to their red card thing or whatever.

I didn't want to appear impolite so I asked him what it was aboot, but then said I didn't really needed it and excused myself.

something like Sharla in Chronicles? I figured a class set like that would be more useful now since you have a larger party

There's not many arts that focus on healing, as they want you to be more on the offensive this time around. I do think Galactic Knight got some buffs/heals, tho

>>
>>317926806
yes

Seems like a slow thread, but I have some questions I'd greatly appriciate if they'd get anwsered.

How does ether functions? Are some Arts based on ether, and will get greater strenght when you equip ether gear?

How do I know party member benefits from what stats? And how do I know what every individual stat does?

Can I react to my opponent in a turn based fasion? I remember in Xenoblade this wasn't the case expect for the moment where time freezes and you could react to it.

I've watched all the video's and stuff, but it's a completly new genre so a lot of concepts are a bit hard to comprehend. Would appriciate some help.

oh, fair enough

you only unlock infinite climax by beating the game on 3rd climax, and to unlock that you have to beat it on 2nd climax

I've been playing games like this (DMC, NG, etc.) for a long time, and infinite climax is legitimately one of the hardest and most skill intensive things I've ever experienced
>>
>>317937364
I just couldn't be bothered to play it since I'd already unlocked all the weapons and stuff from doing 3rd climax. I might go back to it at some point.

few questions for those in the know:

all the gameplay I see makes enemies look like fucking damage sponges, and I also don't like how it seems that auto attacks are like spitballs and 95% of the damage comes from arts. is this a correct assumption? if so, is it a problem or will I not notice?

I know how the different skell frames differ in stats based on weight class, but how much actually is it? like how much faster does a light frame go than a heavy frame? how much more fuel does the heavy frame have compared to the light frame? is it like double or only something like 25% more? do the light frames have so little fuel that you actually have to use a heavy frame when travelling across the map so you don't run out?

will I be able to make it another week?

- Most of your damage will come from Artes yes, auto attacks are there mostly to fill up your TP and restore your cooldowns.
- Light skells aren't faster per se, they just have more evade and different stats all around. If I'm not mistaken there are skells that have better melee or ranged stats in each category, for example: there's a heavy skell specialized in melee, one in ranged, a melee medium, a ranged medium, a melee light, a ranged light, etc...
Also, travelling costs almost no fuel. The only thing that costs significant fuel are the Super Weapons. Heavy skells have a lot more fuel but I don't think your fuel capacity is that important. They are also much more expensive than lighter frames so the money you save on a light skell makes up for what you'd be paying in fuel.
- Maybe.

I suppose you could say that, but even if it's not based on total area awareness and reflexes, the game will demand strategy of you at times. Knowing when to let something complete a second cooldown, or if you should topple, or when to switch aggro between characters by going in or falling back or using certain buffs/debuffs, whether or not you should build your Arts Palette around arts that have good immediate effects, or poorer immediate effects but great effects in certain situations, or if you should clutter it up with skills that synergize for additional effects when used in a particular order after each other...

When you're going up against Tyrants or World Enemies, things can get just as hectic as in any other game if you're not careful / observant.

An exoskeleton (from Greek έξω, éxō "outer" and σkελετός, skeletos "skeleton"[1]) is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal skeleton (endoskeleton) of, for example, a human. In popular usage, some of the larger kinds of exoskeletons are known as "shells". Examples of exoskeleton animals include insects such as grasshoppers and cockroaches, and crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters. The shells of certain sponges and the various groups of shelled mollusks, including those of snails, clams, tusk shells, chitons and nautilus, are also exoskeletons.

You can't fuck yourself over even if it was unbalanced. You can change union at any time and you can max out all classes, maxing one class even lets you uses its weapon and skills with other classes.

>>317940893
If you go with only an USB cable, you'll need a Y one, because the WiiU can't properly power an external, unless it's a flashdrive.

Main plot:
MSG -> Zeta -> ZZ -> Char's Counterattack -> Unicorn

Four OVA side-stories came out between CCA and Unicorn: War in the Pocket, Stardust Memory, The 08th MS Team, and IGLOO. They're skippable, but I would watch the first two at least.

Then there's a timeskip. The post-timeskip continuity is:
F91 -> Crossbone (manga) -> Victory -> G-Savior

These are pretty loosely connected (except Crossbone is a sequel to F91), so you can watch or skip as you please. Especially G-Savior.

Then there's a REALLY LONG timeskip, followed by Turn A and Reconguista in G. It gets a bit complicated so let's leave it at that.

AND THEN there's The Origin, which is a prequel/reboot of MSG. It's available as a manga, or the ongoing anime adaptation.

Then there are the spinoffs/AUs, which have pretty much nothing to do with any of the above. The titles are pretty self-explanatory (e.g. SEED Destiny is the sequel to SEED), so you probably don't need help with them.

And finally there's Build Fighters, which is a light-hearted sports anime spinoff set in modern Japan. It references EVERYTHING above, but I guess you can just watch it whenever.

The red card thing is free, although their edge card used to be better. You used to buy it for like a year and then any used game would be something like 10% off. I suppose I still have that option technically, but it costs more for the card with that benefit than it used to.

Mechs aren't dolls either. Both naming conventions are dumb. There's no point going on about it because we literally wouldn't give a shit if Takahashi had named them Skells from the get go, and I know we'd be flipping our collective shits if NoA changed it to Doll.

What I'm bothered by is that someone thought it needed to be changed in the first place.

1. Is there AT THE VERY LEAST five games OUT NOW that interests you personally on the console?
2. Do you have the money to spend on the console + those games?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, consider picking a Wii U up, either a refurbished one or find a deal on Black Friday.

As >>317942080 said, never, EVER buy a console for a single game. That's buyer's remorse waiting to happen.

>You get unlimited arts for a few seconds or something, right
Not exactly unlimited, but it cancels your current cooldowns AND fastens their reload after using an art. It's basically a short-timed Overdrive.

Xenoblade X doesn't really have a whole lot in the way of actual healing Arts. You're not going to be playing as Sharla. You have arts that may add a regen over time on top of a pre-existing buff, or arts that will give you regen over time for landing attacks. The game is geared around consistent offense so most of your healing will come from the Soul Voice and Soul Challenge QTEs.
>>
>>317943334
Pikmin 3 was disappointing for me. Pikmin 2 was a game that i really loved and Pikmin 3 is just not on the same scale. I must have put at least 30 hours into pikmin 2, probably close to 50 but I was done with Pikmin 3 after about 10.

Wonderful 101 is fun and a nice twist on character action games or whatever you want to call them. I need to play the second half really but I lost interest when something else came out. You could probably pick it up cheap.

Not sure about DKC:TF but I would very much like to play it. Stellar soundtrack and DKCR was fun.

If you're interested in W101 you should also think about getting Bayonetta 2. Dong Freeze was great. Mario 3D World was also pretty good as far as platformers go. Haven't played Pikmin 3 myself.

Splatoon was also surprisingly fun.

If you've got people to couch-coop with, MK8 and Sm4sh are solid (though I wouldn't recommend Sm4sh if you plan on playing by yourself, single player and online with randoms is shit)

I already have Smash for the 3DS, I've looked at Splatoon and it's neat but not something I'm terribly interested in. Mario Maker is a no, I didn't care much for it in the first place.

It's frustrating because I've been looking for a game like Xenoblade X for a long time. The only thing missing would be a more action style combat system.

The websites for EB Games, Best Buy, and Amazon all say that you can no longer reserve the Special Edition (except some $270 shitter on Amazon). Am I fucked, or would I just be able to pick it up in store on release like any other thing that can be reserved?
>>
>>317943334
Do the Bayo games not interest you? Or Star Fox? Remember that just about any Wii game can play on the Wii U, and that you can pretty easily mod the Wii Mode with homebrew just like you would a regular Wii (which I did so I could actually play Xenoblade Chronicles since at the time there was no announcement of the 3D or eshop versions).

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate's alright, although the online is nearly completely dead so you'd need to check the general to set something up. Even if you never hit g-rank or cut out half way through high rank I think it's probably a worthwhile experience.

If your computer is shit you could probably also find Deus Ex: Human Revolution for Wii U.

W101 is great and so is Bayo 2 (comes with 1 if you never played it). Tropical Freeze is amazing but I feel they over did it with the collectibles (seriously fuck those puzzle pieces). Haven't played Pikmin 3 but heard fun things about it. If you want some other recommendations for Wii U: MH3U (if you don't have a 3DS if so get 4U), I'm enjoying Smash but I'm not really a hard core fighter so I just like the fun fan service in it and just fighting with my friends, Splatoon is fucking amazing and I can easily say it's the best multiplayer game this year, (single player is actually fucking awesome too), if you enjoy musou and zelda Hyrule Warriors is actually really fun and the DLC is fairly cheap for what they give you, enjoy Captain Toad, personally skip Mario U and just get the cheaper Luigi U while shorter is much better in my mind, and right now playing Yoshi Wooly World (just got to world 4) and having blast.
