Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5, XSX, PC)

[Tyrath]

Anyone ever play Folklore on PS3? Gave me some of those vibes for the world

[Andalusian girls]

lesgo a bigger success than i think anyone had hoped for

Ah perfect. Glad I didn't kill them....yet.

AG will probably be mad once I get the reward and kill them after :>

[chazzyphizzle]

gotta say the paintress does not seem like she's having a great time in between paintings, not a spoiler just how she sits on the world map when you can see her

Yes! Hell of a game they threw together for what was basically meant to be a Sixaxis tech demo. Definitely similar gothic fantasy horror aesthetic; definitely lacking FRENCH.

[Tymon]

Like Krandor, I really gotta try hard to find the negatives here. I hate how the subtitles are placed and blur the whole section of the screen.

I hate this and I also hate how weirdly finicky the sprint trigger is. I know you can toggle it. Just that when it's not set to persistent mode, even the slightest turn of your character on the left stick cancels the sprint. Until I toggled it I was basically using the camera for turning.

[Andalusian girls]

making you click a toggle? like a maid?

[Koul]

Ending up kiting some high level mobs in a side area and got a level 23 pictos that has defense as a stat lol my earth Lune now has 2k health and 1.3k defense at lvl 33. I have her running with the aim weapon that creates random stains and as my main breaker with the earth skills

[Krandor]

Finished Act II, at this point I can't see how this is anything but GOTY if not like of the decade unless the final act completely shits the bed Xenogears style

Just an absolute masterpiece

Yeah, everything seems jut right about this game. I am still quite early in it but it screams GOTY.

[Andalusian girls]

damn Kran u blazin. i'm midwayish through Act 2 right now so too early to tell but ol girl's been special so far. hope they land the ending re the story.

i assume we're all veteran RPGers here familiar with the Bioware base chat but everyone ought be exhausting all dialogue/check in business when at base camp. there are some moving and beautifully shot little character scenes locked behind talking to your dudes.

[Krandor]

Gonna put it behind a spoiler just in case, but non story note about Act III.

Spoiler: show

It's "hey there's the point of no return, but now the whole map is open so do whatever you want. I also have absolutely no idea where to go because every new area seems to be insanely high level

Actually now I guess you talk to your party and they give you quests to specific areas

[Andalusian girls]

i just laughed pretty hard recruiting the 6th companion, the game finding humor and lighthearted moments amidst all the death and drama is mint

also
speakin on companions
Sandfall did work building unique systems for each party member. usually it's pretty easy to throw out a lot of RPG members you don't want to roll in your main party but this got the BG3/ME2 problem where you want to play more than there are slots for.

[Krandor]

They're also an absolute beast once you acquire they're skills

Though truthfully every character is great, just gotta build the party in a way to synergize. Sciel is the GOAT though, exceptional buff monkey and then just can absolutely melt everything once you get a Gradient Charge

[Andalusian girls]

she's the only one i've hit 9999 with so far, we stan our drunken queen

[Krandor]

As soon as you get to Act III you can break the damage cap

[chazzyphizzle]

good, was hoping the damage cap was breakable

Yeah, I hate that I have Maelle benched but I just like everyone else more. Still need the 6th person but I'm rocking:

Spoiler: show

Lune, Verso and Sciel - Sciel as buff/turn cheat general support. Lune as AIM shooter/breaker/healer and Verso as DPS/AP gifter

[Krandor]

Maelle gets ridiculous post Act II.

Sciel again is king tho, just dropped around 200k damage with her on a single turn (she's currently level 59 for reference)

[Tyrath]

My guy I hit 9999 with both Gustave and Maelle under some specific conditions and I haven't even finished act 1 yet.

Spoiler: show

[Tyrath]

I gotta say a new* game hasn't made me feel this type of way in a good while






*Xenoblade X did but it's not new. And it was more for the awe of the world and exploration, not really the story. Expedition 33 is the total package.
