    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I don't think anything is actually missable. There are things that drop in areas you can't go back to but you can get those drops somewhere else. Definitely do the arena as Maelle though because the alternate way of getting that extremely good item is a bit challenging.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    The point when I got to phase 3 and realised I'd have to finish him off with my B team who I'd never used before was when I decided to build a 1 shot team.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Finally got the plat. Ascension was the last holdout for a week or so. I was trying it a couple of times per day until I got it.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Maelle is obviously the best but Monoco should be able to do a lot of heavy lifting too. Many of his skills do absurd amounts of damage.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I had exactly the same issue and eventually found the best places to go at the start of act3: First 2 missions on the endless tower. Maelle's side quest. The main objective. Then after you've gained a bit of power from those, dark shores is an excellent place to farm grandiose catalysts.

    Stellaris

    I was playing Stellaris recently just prior to 4.0 and it was in a very good state. Some of the recent DLC have been quite good. I've been keeping an eye on 4.0 - it includes a major change to the way pops and jobs work and it seems like it has some pretty severe balance issues.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    The catalysts drop once you're in the right level content. The Axon dungeons will give you 50+ of the lvl19 catalysts and you'll start seeing the 20+ catalysts there too. There's a merchant you can access in act2 that sells level 14 weapons.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I just went 99 AGI and then luck on every char. Go first, kill everything before they move. In late game it can be worthwhile moving stats around to whatever boosts your weapon as the scaling becomes pretty amazing at high weapon levels. Apart from weapon scaling Defence and vit are kind of...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Just play on an easier difficulty if the parry timing is a problem for you. Apparently that makes the parry window easier. Or just putting it on the easiest difficulty will probably allow you to face tank (almost) everything if you don't fight overlevelled bosses. There are even lumina designed...

    Aion Reawakening

    Aion was great for a while, at launch the small scale PvP was excellent, rifting into levelling areas and causing mayhem with my small group. Much like warhammer online once there were a bulk of players at high levels and most pvp was 30+ vs 30+ it turned to shit.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Just picked this up on PS5 yesterday. Immediately hated the QTE but after 15 minutes or so I trained myself to not even look at the visual for them and just respond to the sound which made them all trivial - so now I love the QTE. After getting by on dodge for a while I decided to just try to...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    I fell asleep in the cinema and missed a decent chunk of the middle of this. The kids enjoyed it though and I liked that the finale wasn't two people punching each other and destroying a whole city. The going into your own nightmare part was pretty neat.

    Satisfactory

    1.1 is looking good, I'm waiting for it to go live before I try it though. Issue I've had with Satisfactory since 1.0 is that it makes my PC, in particular the CPU overheat for some reason. No other game does this. Hopefully something has changed in 1.1 to resolve that otherwise I can't play...

    Shōgun

    Really long odds that future seasons are going to be any good. Not only is there no source material, but the two best characters are dead - Asano (death tier list guy) and Mariko who was both hot and also carried large parts of the show on her shoulders.

    Andor

    There's people in this thread who should probably stick to watching Michael Bay movies. Andor is great, A+, bring on the next arc!

    Margin Call (2011)

    I've watched both this and the big short half a dozen times or more, they are both great for different reasons.. covering the same crisis from different angles.

    This show continues to be great - thoroughly enjoy shows that move slowly and don't treat their audience like idiots.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    That's weird, I'm getting ~60fps in the open world playing in 4k on my 3070ti/ryzen 3700x. I did install this, not sure if it made a difference or not: Ultimate Engine Tweaks (Anti-Stutters - Lower Latency - No Film Grain - No Chromatic Aberration - Lossless)

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    So is cosmic exploration mainly for levelling doh/dol jobs, and collecting the orchestral/mount etc stuff that comes from the shop and gambling? Not sure if the fully upgraded weapons will ever be worth using especially considering how much grinding will be required to get there.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Todd is just going to keep re-releasing their previous games over and over and never release a new product. And if Starfield is what a new product would look like then am definitely looking forward to Morrowind remastered.

    Black Mirror

    This season was pretty strong imo. Common People is my pick, the dread grew throughout the episode as you quickly realise where it's going. Truly awful. Eulogy was heavy, the end was an absolute kick in the guts. Plaything was pretty light fun. Bete Noir was a great concept, as a viewer you...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    He is really upset that someone said something about his boy Winston that can be interpreted as negative. Guy probably has a Churchill sex doll at home. Every time Dave pins Douglas on his hypocrisy Douglas cries to the teacher (Joe).. pretty sad. I gave up 50 minutes in.. Better things to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm loving the new dungeons, some of the mechanics are wild. I did Shaaloni last night and ran Vanguard for the first time. On all 3 bosses our healer and monk died before the boss was at 50% so the dancer and I (GNB) carried the team. Luckily none of the bosses in vanguard have many stack...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    The amusing part of it of course is that you tell me not to worry, but it's actually you and your ilk who are obsessed with such inane nonsense. I'm here to play video games (of which HFW is an excellent example) and such trivialities have no bearing on that.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    HFW is an excellent game, it's a step up from HZD in so many ways - graphics, combat, skills, itemization. Narrative wasn't as good but it was still excellent. Final boss was definitely a downgrade. It was jam packed with same sex couples which is enough to single handedly ruin it for miserable...

    Everquest II

    Crafted items used to sell to vendors for the cost of the fuel to make it, raw mats being worthless. It was still like that at the beginning of origins beta but they increased the price of fuel in an early patch. Now it costs for example ~10s in fuel to make a carbonite armour item or ~20s for...

    Everquest II

    The lack of crafting writs is definitely an annoyance. I'm completely broke from levelling armouring. There's definitely a healthy community though. Multiple wailing caves, stormhold, fallen gate instances running.. I saw 7 WC instances at one point. Finding a group is pretty easy, there are...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    I've never seen a tap for melted butter at a cinema in Australia. Sounds kind of gross honestly. Popcorn at the cinema here does come with salty butter on it, it's all done in one machine. You can't actually get plain popcorn there. I have a popcorn maker at home which has a cup on top with a...
