    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    That review is basically correct and no one can deny it, the writer just had a negative slant. As for Story mode? That falls apart in Act 3 side content where your damage might not have scaled up sufficiently enough to overcome enemy HP/DMG. All that being said, if you have patience, you can...

    I haven't played either of those, but from what I have read about them, go with BG3 if you want a really dense, long game or Metaphor if you want a shorter, more streamlined game.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Not sure First Strike actually works as you imply here. In my experience with it, there were only 2 cases where the character with it equipped would attack first: The enemy got to initiate combat, or a boss would normally attack first. In all other chases I've had, with FS on Verso, he would...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Story mode has the mobs do a bit less dmg and gives you a slighty better dodge/parry window, but that advantage only really lasts til Act III where the side content will smack you down regardless. There is cross-save between PC and Xbox?

    Dunno what type of PC you have, but a PS5 Pro on Performance is a solid 60fps and looks good. My PC is far better and has no issues at all Epic settings (1440p).

    Borderlands 4

    Nothing really stood out as being amazing, though some of the system could be fun to work with. I'll play it since I like looter shooter, but I'm not expecting it to be BL2 reborn... the chances of that are long gone.

    I believe they were asking about when/if the damage cap would lifted. 300 into each? I think that would require juuuuuuust a bit of farming.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Either midway through Act II, or at the end of Act II.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Yes, I think there were some other production partners involved for other dev aspects, but not a lot. So while saying "only 30" people made the game, it wasn't a LOT more people. Still quite the amazing accomplishment.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Yes, he does, but he is also doing what I've seen a lot of other reviewers / streamers / influencers do, which hyping up the "made by only 30-ish" people over and over. This isn't quite true, as they outsourced chunks of the game to other studios.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Act 2 takes the longest amount of time to finish by far

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    These are the two which really stood out for me while playing, was really disappointed when the overworld music changed in Act III: The other being the boss music.

    The First Descendant

    A little preview of butt physics, along with boob physics shown off during a recent discord Q&A, pretty funny.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I believe so. The last save I saw was well before the final encounter.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Decided to finish the game, rather than running around the open world getting smashed most of the time. Luckily the problems I had in the open world didn't carry over to the last section of the Story. Great ending fight sequences, and great final. Very well made game. Saw a streamer using Sciel...

    Use the hotfix nVidia put out a few days ago, seems to fix that issue. NVIDIA Support

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Dunno, I think having the proper gear to have Maelle / V do the most dmg possible is mandatory, not sure what setup to use with them atm. Act III seems to negate any difficulty setting below Expert, imo, given the amount of damage mobs do in those areas and the amount of HP they have. Just an...

    Understandable to a point. The difficulty seems out of whack, imo.

    This comment makes me question your intelligence, tbh. The term "rule 34" has existed for a long time, and for a reason... its massively popular. Prior to that, it was print magazines. ;p

    Finished Act II, starting Act III, but maybe I'm too much of a pragmatist since I don't currently see the point of the purpose in Act III because:

    For those with 50 series cards and having lighting issues, apparently there is a fix out by nVidia that updates the most current driver to 576.15: NVIDIA Support

    More like Bards Tale / Various Amiga games / Doom / Quake / EQ / WoW / Various MMO's / Various other stuff. ;p

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I never played those games, never had a SNES or PSx til PS4. I think the first turn based rpg I ever played was Honkai Star Rail. That game made at least think about playing others, thought about trying Metaphor ReFantasio, but haven't yet.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Rather than trying to label the game as a "jrpg", I think it would be better to just describe it as a turn based rpg, kinda like bg3(?).

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Should just have to enter the zone to have get named on the world map. There were several zones with "Danger" on them when I went to zone.. but noped out before going in and they never got named until after I actually entered the zone, got my ass kicked and left til later.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Of course, that is how journo's / influencers stay relevant, gotta generate interest. In regards to this game, I think the hype is appropriate. I wouldn't call it a "masterpiece", but it has definitely been much better in every way than I hoped. So, I'm happy with it.

    Turning off DLAA on the Steam Deck? That should be native resolution without any upscaling vs. DLSS which would use upscaling. Unless the Deck handles things differently.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Skip Persona, it's daily JP highschool stuff plus the pokemon battles. I'd recommend playing Metaphor ReFantasio, or this game.

    All the guys are overperforming because there are a few fuckable ladies working with them, no fat blue hairs detected. Guess that is the secret to success. Also, where is the guy who put in so much bloom and brightness. Shoot him with a spitwad.

    Still pretty early on for me, but I use Wildfire, Thermal Transfer and Mayhem.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    She is like 15, you have to deduct 18yrs rather than 9, since she ages 1yr and the clock dwindles by 1yr.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    You can run DLAA and get smooth gameplay, the 50 series is overkill for this game, at least with my 5070ti experience. The bloom / super bright fog just kills the experience for me though. Good and fun game, tbh. Though I'm playing on PS5 Pro.
