After Playing Xenoblade 2 at 60 FPS in native 4k

Man it looks and feels sooooo good too (Xenoblade 2 I mean). I picked up the Switch 2 upgrade for 1 also and played the first 5-10 hours again, but 2... I may wind up playing all the way through and trying to beat it again.

XC1 had the best story, XC3 had the best combat.

XC2 was the best blend.

Pretty good assessment. I liked 3 but I doubt I ever play it again. I got tired of the multi-stage boss fights where you have to beat the same boss like 3-5 times in the same fight.

I wish they would implement the button scheme from 2 into 1. I can't stand having to quick scroll around menus to use abilities in 1.

I still haven't played X, I need to add that to my wishlist!

NATIVE 4k... lol

XC2 still has elements that infuriate me, making it my least favorite in the series.

The combat doesn't feel properly playtested and is too reliant on randomness.

The objective marker that always sits DIRECTLY ABOVE the quest objective is complete trash, and some of the maps seem to be designed specifically to frick with the player.

Field skills serve no purpose other than to cockblock the player at specific points for not engaging with its mechanics enough. Luckily, there's only 3-4 instances where field skills actively blocked main story progress and it's primarily relegated to side activities.

The blade GACHA is half baked. The rare blades have cool looking designs but sooooooo many of them look exactly the same that it's hard to tell who is who.
