I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

I've been playing and enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lately. I tried it when I first got and hacked my Switch and bounced off it completely because I didn't really understand the complexity of the combat. I watched a few tips videos and now that I understand a bit more about how to engage with its systems I'm enjoying it.

Yeah, I hear the combat is the best part of that game.

What's kinda weird about it is that not understanding and being bad at the combat doesn't make it feel hard, it makes it feel tedious. But when you do get it it's very active and engaging.

The story's not bad, but it is a bit anime bullshit, as are the character designs.

It's basically what people think of anime and not what it actually is, if you catch my drift.

Don't get me wrong, I am an anime enjoyer and have a fairly high tolerance for anime bullshit but scenes like this are pretty strong anime bullshit.
