Mario Odyssey is what I've been playing since I finished Mario Kart. Had like 130 Moons from the past, already gained around a hundred just from a few hours of playing, so I'm not far from the 250 goal. Might go for 500, got time before the DK game. Seems like the game just rains Power Moons on you at every turn. I used to like the Mario 64 system of every star being a big deal / its own sub-level, but finding them everywhere is interesting in its own way.
Right, it's like the 59 trillion kurok seeds in TotK. It's so god damn many it becomes meaningless. Is it a cultural thing? Do Asians jerk off doing the same repetitive shit over and over?

been playing xenoblade 2 on my switch 2 and it runs pretty good, no FPS dips or anything but visually it looks like a 15 year old game still

still glad i picked one up since it looks like the price may go up around the holidays if vietnam gets a perma 20% tariff

Speaking of xenoblade….never touched them. Worth picking them up? I may have one of them on a hacked WiiU. Been trying to pick up a few of the switch games I hadn’t grabbed. Nintendo seems to Disney vault some games and I’m still a sucker for physical copies.

I"d get Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. It's a remaster of the first game which was originally a Wii title. Starting with the first game sets up the rest of the franchise and gets you introduced to the combat which gets iterated on in the later titles.

they are ultra weeb games mixed with 2000s style MMO simple quests (but all single player, no multiplayer at all). i kinda like it, but its definitely an acquired taste. I tend to get bored playing after an hour or so in a session, which is honestly perfect for me as i'm baby sitting grandkids.

Honestly that’s the worst I’ve heard anyone say about them. I typically am not a fan of the art style.

First one is the best, then second, then the third. Second one definitely plays into the anime shit the most. Third one has a literal alphabet villain roster and is pretty "meh" from a story standpoint. Battle mechanics are cool but since you have a permanent 6 party team + a guest you'll face roll almost everything.

What about this Chronicles X one I also see?

I almost just blanket bought them all but I’m going to pick up the first anyway.

It’s seriously crazy how much MMO’s from 2005 through 2018 destroyed me touching a lot of games. Plus I oddly didn’t game much in college at all besides d2 and some Unreal. I bought N64 and basically played the Zelda’s, Mario, Mario kart, and Mortal Kombat 3 I think on it. I completely missed the PS1 and PS2 tbh.

I missed chronicles X and need to play through it now that it's on the switch. If I recall I read it was disconnected from the xenoblade trilogy and focused more on the gears or whatever they call them, and the exploration.

It was very disconnected from the main 3, it released inbetween 1 and 2 and thats prolly the order i would play it in as well If you had never played any of them, but catching it at any point wont make or break anything due to it being pretty far out of the main arc. Story wasnt much but it was pretty cool on the wiiU as it made great use of the gamepad. Combat wasnt as intuitive as the main series but i felt it was worth the money and had lots of optional content if you wanted to min max stuff.
