Help me out /v/. What should I get for the Wii U? I have a choice between Xenoblade Chronicles X and Mario Maker. I don't really want to get both.
I'd probably enjoy the shit out of both but I want to know what /v/ thinks brings the most to the table.
No shitposting please

you can have a blast with mario maker without making a single stage

>>321202205
I don't know what you're implying. If you're thinking that I spam xenoblade threads, that's not me, I just googled "xenoblade chronicles x" and chose the first result on images.
>>
>>321200201
what are you, poor?
>>
>>321200201
if you want more games like Xenoblade X in future, buy Xenoblade X.

They will always make Mario games.
>>
>>321200201
I personally find that I burn out on platformers really, really quickly unless there's some kind of story substance to hook me in. All the custom made Mario levels in the world won't make me want to buy Mario Maker.

Xenoblade X on the other hand has pretty much guaranteed 100+ hour minimum play time if you don't just bumrush grind the story and actually do shit in the world, 300+ if you get really into it.
>>
>>321200201
I'd say Xenoblade, there's so much shit you can do in it. Pretty much guaranteed to last you a while
>>
Going to say Xenoblade for a different reason than anyone else here, you will always be able to go out and buy mario maker at a reasonable price. Get X now while its not a pain in the ass or jacked up to 120 for a new copy, and get mario maker later.

xenoblade x, there is just a fuckton of shit to do and explore in that game.

>should I pay for a gimped version of free editors that are already out there or should I support censorship and shitty localizations

Hard choice

I haven't really gotten into many games for the wii u except xenoblade, and I really got into that. If you like those kind of games, it's an amazing experience.
>>
>>321205068
thought the rule was no shitposting
>>
>>321205068
I agree censorship is bullshit. I also think the localization is very mediocre. XCX's while the story is decent, it really isn't it's appeal. 720p means graphics are irrelevant and artstyle matters.

All those reasons aside, gameplay is what sells this game. It's damn good. It's not for everyone, just like bayonetta, but it is one of the finest in it's genre.
>>
Xenoblade X is really really good until you stop playing and then you will forget about it entirely.

Mario Maker I keep coming back to.

Why not just not get both and get the original Xenoblade instead?
>>
>>321203768
With how many copies were printed and how comparatively poorly it sold, I doubt it's gonna be hard to find.
>>
Grab xenoblade now so you can take best advantage of the squad system and get mariomaker later on cause there will be even more good levels to play than there are now.
>>
>>321205975
Have there been any sales figures yet? I havent seen any
>>
I'm under the impression that Xenoblade X's online community will die out long before Mario Maker's does so you best strike while the iron is hot OP.
>>
Xenoblade X. It's massive, and fun as fuck.

Mario Maker's okay but I found after a while, even the player created levels got a little boring.
>>
Xenoblade X

Takahashi needs his fucking sales and he needs them now in order for Nintendo to let him make more games.

Mario is eternal and invincible, Xenoblade is fragile and weak.

Do the right thing and pick X, anon. I'm counting on you.

Friendly tip for any anons lurkin who plan on getting xeno. Do yourselves a favor and be sure to explore not just the main three lands but the other two via the land bridge by foot. If you wait till you have a robot it loses tons of initial wonder.

>>321207627
you need a budget anon. this was their first open world game, they had to use their budget making all the assets from scratch. having story written =/= story is in the game. Someone has to make the cutscenes, and they need time and money.

THIS. Mechs completely ruin exploration. Use them as a fast-travel alternative, not an exploration tool. You can't even spot all the hidden caves and secret areas if you use mechs. It's just for people who wanna rush the game.

>>321208076
Quest items are automaticly given and cannot be sold I think. Check your dual blades filter near the bottom
>>
>>321207847
I agree that some things on the larger scope (especially from the post credit scene) may be limited due to budget, but others really is just Takahashi fucking with us.
For example: Elma's copilot during the escape of earth. It's mentioned during her first AM that she was with someone, and everytime someone aks about it they get blocked. Even when Elma opens up after C12 she still doesn't talk about it.

Not Cauldros. That place is full of level 50 motherfuckers (tigher security than Shadow Moses Island) and the level 1-20 guys are only found deeper in.
>>321207847
I don't know about Baten Kaitos and the pre-blade Xenos, but XBC was what is commonly accepted as "open world".
>>
>>321200201
/v/ hates everything. They'll tell you Xenoblade is censored weeb shit, Mario Maker is a rehashed series with an inferior level maker and no slopes, and despite the lack of popularity of the Wii U, more people here have Smash 4 for Wii U than 3DS and bash the very existence of SSB4 3DS even though it seems like more people have a 3DS than a Wii U.

I don't know anything about XCX, but I loved the first one on the Wii. Super Mario Maker isn't perfect, but it makes level editing easy and fun, and if you're a big Mario buff with a lack of creativity, you can still play levels until the end of time. The only really bad point is that people have a fetish for unenjoyably difficult kaizo levels and the vast majority of levels are obviously going to be amateurish, but if you love side-scrolling Mario, why the fuck wouldn't you get it?

Side quest choices matter. People will die if you pick some things. Be sure to listen to people around town. The info can actually be used during some diolog choices.

>>321208401
Open space =/= open world

Open world generally means no loading screens between areas. What Zelda U is going for. The implications for that are being able to walk over to the final area in the beginning of the game. Building a game around a non-linear structure is harder since you can have many more possibilities that the player can do.

XC is a linear game where you travel from one area to the next via loading screens. Only difference is that the area is a huge open space and not a linear hallway. You cant go to mechonis by walking from colony 6 for example.

Even Takahashi knows not to bite off more than he can choose. Xenogears, Xenosaga has taught him that. He knows now that if he's scruntched for time and budget, it's better to spend it on making the gameplay solid, rather than making it subpar while rushing the rest of the story. (I'm looking at you Xenogears disk 2 and Xenosaga 2)

Are there any level 20 skell frames aside from the one you get for free?
I'm level 30 but all of my party members are below that. Some are even below level 20.
If not, what's the best way to grind your party members up to level 30?
>>
>>321210009
No. The one you get is the only lvl20 skell. Best way to farm though is to save up money. It was intended for them to be expensive as fuck
>>
>>321210009
Use enemy exploit augments on your personal skell and grind out exp with one shots on the highest things you can. I suggest mechanoids

>>321210009
>If not, what's the best way to grind your party members up to level 30?
you get crazy extra xp when you defeat monsters that are higher level than you. if you are 30 try to kill some 33-34 enemies your team will level up fast. especially with exp+ bonus on gear.
>>
>>321209958
They have to be done in order.
So H2H1, then H2H2, then H2H3 and so on.
If you did the first one and can't find him in the second place, you're probably missing his AM.

Xenoblade X. It'll definitely keep you occupied ofr a bunch of hundreds of hours. Mario Maker is still getting updates anyway and even though they've added a lot of stuff I still think it feels incomplete (Still missing slopes, still missing putting collectibles like Star Coins or Green Stars in the levels, still missing some level themes) and still don't have the feeling I can make the Mario level I actually want to make so you can wait to buy that because as it's now you probably will put it to the side first anyway

Xenoblade is a complete package Minus the boob slider fuck you NoA, Mario Maker probably has quite a few updates down the road. Xenoblade has oodles of side quests and optional content and a solid main story, Mario Maker has endless levels and replayability, but not all of them are good and it has no real main game.

They are both good and you get a lot of bang for your buck, really it all depends on if your hankering for some platforming and creativity or JRPG and exploration

No electric beamsaber as far as i've seen, they got Beam, ether and gravity.

I'm using the orbitar art that shocks (no TP needed) with 2 Shock extend XX on the ranged weapon. Makes each shock last 50 sec. Then unload with the javlin arts. Arcing horn gives reduce Lightning Res 5, vortez combo and stun, Balance breaker does stagger, and Max voltage is 12 hit combo. If they don't resist max voltage does around 150k alone with lv 50 weapons

Is there some kind of new game + or i just have to make another profile to start the game again?

How does XCX compare to its predecessor? I loved Xenoblade.
>>
>>321220625
It's better in most aspects. The main parts people complain about compared to the previous games are the characters and the plot.
>>
>>321220625

XCX has the better combat system, better quests and bigger world

Doesn't hold a candle to Xenoblade's music and story though
>>
>>321220625
Much more satisfying exploring, even better world than XB. Combat system got improved and made more complex. Doing sidequests no longer get you overleveled in 30 minutes to the point where main story quests are trivial.

Story feels like of like FF12. It's somewhat minimal, and your character isn't the chosen one in the middle of the story, it's more like things happen in the world around you.

What is this "ONE BY ONE" that has been going in these threads?

Keep the secondary CD skill. At max level it lowers secondary CD by 50% which is really noticeable when doing your melee combos. As far as skills go you've already got Supreme Sword, Fast Foward, and Beam Boost which are great for Galactic Knight. You can also go for Yamato Spirit from Samurai Gunner which helps a bit in generating TP before you have access to Arts Gain TP augments. Don't forget to do Doug's affinity missions for Starlight Duster

>>321200201
Xenoblade X is a REALLY long and massive game, a normal playthrough could take you 100-200 hours. Way more than that if you're any sort of completionist, though by contrast you could probably speed through the story missions in 30 hours. Once you start playing, you won't want to put it down.

Mario Maker has infinite replay value and a creativity tool attached. It's fun, but it won't draw you in for 10+ hours in one sitting like Xenoblade will.

I like how it's an upbeat jungle version of the general Mira theme. It's a shame you don't hear this track much.

I feel there is less input from me as the player and too much reliance on AI/random/automatic garbage like Soul Voices, Soul Commands,etc. No longer can put yourself or party members in High Tension or worry about them being low tension. Overdrive is literally just spamming a mmo rotation, it's brainless shit. Lack of chain attacks makes it feel like you aren't even in a party. Your party members exist solely for soul voices and nothing more. Only time I've ever felt like my party was useful was when I gave Irina the Ramjet Rifle and lots of buff arts. Skell combat is literally just using arts hoping for cockpit mode to refill all cooldowns.

I've been playing XCX for 60 hours and not once encountered spike. There is nothing like how hitting a Mechon will stagger/topple you like in the original game.


Overally my problem is the combat just requires less thought and input.

How does FrontierNav know that I will finish an affinity quest in a certain hex zone?

Xenblade X if you don't have any friends.

Mario Maker of you have friends, so you can play each other's levels.
>>
>>321222819
Fashin gear.
You can equip the helmet, but then equip something else over it so you see your regular face.
>>
>>321222357
Your build matters a lot more in XCX. Well, your ground build, Skell combat is boring.

If you want more interactive combat, play an overdrive Photon Saber build and try to maximize your DPS while still fitting in Auras and Ghost Walker (which will break your melee combo).
>>
>>321221594
Already got Duster, might go for Yamato spirit.

Also what's a good enemy to farm for a decent photon saber? I don't even know if specific enemies drop specific weapons. I just know I have a level 23 one with melee up V, potential boost V and melee: gain TP which is probably my best skillset on any saber but it's fucking ether.
>>
Is there a way to check what the effects/augments on ground gear does? Some of the names like "Ranged Accuracy Up" are pretty self-explanatory, but how do I find out what the less obvious shit does?
>>
>>321223432
Oh also do arts: gain TP skills on a weapon only affect that weapon's skills? I have plenty of guns with it but not much melee.
>>
>>321223413
>If you want more interactive combat, play an overdrive Photon Saber build
It's dull. Overdrive as a mechanic is just boring. I don't even need to try, just essence exchange, overdrive, photon saber arts, and repeat.

How do you call a group of 8 women?
>>
>>321223648
Nope, stat boosts and Arts: TP gain apply to your character generally, not just the weapon. You want to stick those on your support weapon, while your main one gets Weapon Damage augments (unless it's a weapon with shit base damage).

Is it just me or does this game have a piss poor job of explaining any game mechanic to the player? Luckily I understood most of it since I played Xenoblade Chronicles but holy shit, a summary of what mechanics are implemented after Chapters is not effective conveyance. I had to study the fuck out of the manual to understand what every icon meant and how to to use the follow ball.
>>
>>321224957

Xeno Chronicles did it so much better. Even if it was text heavy you still had a solid understanding of everything the game had. I was only understanding anything thoroughly by Chapter 4.

Postgame there are support missions that get the job done quickly but before that you have to depend on soul voices, completing missions, and making responses to their liking

yeah i agree

i miss how in XC if you got toppled or whatever your team mates would run over to you and help you up and you could do the same. the first time a team mate died in XCX i ran over to try help them up like you could in XC but turns out you need 3000 fucking TP, which isnt so hard on your character but everyone else just spams their TP arts and never has over 2000TP unless you disable their TP arts
>>
>>321203276
Not a nintodofan but this is true, I doubt Nintendo will ever stop with the Mario games.

Buy xenoblade op.

>Vastly reduce Fast Travel points. The only Fast Travel points in the game now are BLADE base camps and special probes spots that you can fast travel to. There is also one fast travel point for each district in NLA
>Skell combat now has secondary cooldowns. All damage of first-stage cooldowns has been reduced. Overdrive now works like on-foot, but tertiary cooldowns are harder to reach
>No Cockpit mode. Can switch cameras in and out.
>Fly high enough with the skell to get a boost of speed. "Don't Worry" now only plays when you reach this height.
>Voice and Music volume slider
>Companions can now be swapped in and out from the menu without having to visit them. If they are in a heart-to-heart location they are listed as 'unavailable'.
>ARTS/Special attacks are no longer dodgeable (both player and enemies)
>If you are tracking a gathering quest, the items that can potentially be the item your searching for now turn up as green gems
>Gather 'X' from 'X creature' now show up on the map if tracked
>Ares 90 severely nerfed
>Materials to craft not as severe

There you go. There's a million things I could say for the story but that's much more complicated and opinionated. I feel these changes make the game overall better without much argument to be had against them.
>>
>>321205068
What did they censor in xenoblade?
>>
>>321223638
The best you can do is go to the create augment shop in Armory Alley to figure out what they do. I don't know why they don't allow you to see what your augments do similar to how you could see what your gems do in XC. They really dropped the ball with that
