They really need a better compass and map system for their future games as the one in XC2 is terrible.

Agree. Not only do I want one map for the whole titan I'm on, but when I go to quick travel or look at map it doesn't even start where I am. I have to go and search the quick travel menu to find me on the map.

But compass as well. When I do finally find where I am and where I want to go, I could easily quick travel sure, but I like walking, so I look at me and and location and go "Okay, I gotta go NE" I then exit map and look at my screen and go "which direction is NE" No freaking compass.

You'd think that after BOTW's well executed map system a map for the whole Titan would have been a given not the mess they went with instead and the compass just points you in a vague direction, I remember it took me ages to find the place where you get the second items for the boat.

Well I have the little map turned off the whole time. Same as I had BotW HUD turned off playing. I've learned to not think in directions of North, South, East, West, but more along lines of Head, Tail, Town, ect. Big landmarks you can see. It's more that the map sucks that I think E or West ever. I open map and from it I can't tell where the head or tail is, so I just have to do the standard, head NE from my location. Then I leave and go "shit, which was is east"

Which makes me all the more want a big sweeping view of the Titan at some point. I want ot see what he/she looks like. As well as a full map of the Titan with it showing its head and everything on it.



Yes I agree you guys above the map/compas is horrible. I got lost for about 1 hour because I couldnt figure out how to get where they wanted me to go

Is there a collectopedia in the game or a monster list? Gonna feel kind of dumb asking this if there is.

Because it was my favorite thing in the previous games, filling the items of every section or continent and keeping track of what I have defeated in X.



Kinda surprised people are confused with the combat system, but it's fine.

I don't think I've ever done a combo yet though.

I don't think there is unless I missed it also. I was looking for one.

Nope. It makes it seem like there is in some of the blades upgrades. It will be like Collect 25 items from the insect collectepedia or something like that. But it just means collect 25 bugs from collection spots. They could be 25 of the exact same bug, it don't matter.

I also enjoyed that from prior games. Was cool getting the last item you needed and getting the reward. Though I do enjoy collecting more in this game. Not as much zigzagging to grab every blue orb. Also once you get higher skills in collecting its nice getting like 20 items at each spot instead of like just 4-5. Keeps the collection spots still exctiting to find even X hours in.



Obtained my first rare blade finally.
