started act 3. and new complaints. yeah. "where the fuck am I supposed to go" no real direction for story missions

You talk to some people at camp and they tell you exactly where to go and why if you want to finish relationship stories. Plus the entire act starts off with a cinematic pointing you directly to the final area.

Eiffel tower. Can't miss it.

yes... act 3 points you to the final area presumably, and then opens up the world. if I was supposed to go to the final area, and NOT explore first, then the game should haven't have opened the area yet. are you saying toing to the final area, stops me and turns me back, and gives new directions? every prior time, the game opens up, you are supposed to go explore before moving to the next area.

or, so I left camp, and was supposed to immediately go back into camp to get directions? if that is the case then the game should have said, "we can either go directly back to final area, or perhaps we should investigate and learn more first, here's three other places we should consider" it should have done it, before leaving the camp the first time.

It goes back to the old dogs and why they even went to make an over world is to just either travel to old limited right after act 2 and complete the game or explore the world which is what act 3 really is

by the time I got to Simon I two shot him. Hit him twice with Maelle (once to enter the cut-scene and once more to kill him).

Perfectly happy to not have to deal with 3 phases and multiple swords, or whatever you guys had to do.
Daaaanng, nice work. I just got good enough to parry most of his bullshit. My build must have been trash because even at level 95 or whatever I was my biggest hit only did quarter of his health.

I did not miss the modern shit that games throw at you nowadays, pointing arrows and shit like that.

I don't think I ever got lost. In Act 3 I did the companion stuff then went to Lumiere.

I don't think I'm masochist enough to try Simon. Clea fucked me up enough.

simon attacks at lightning speed
that's by far the most damaging attack he can do. It's group wide AND the hardest to parry with no buildup. He also does this gay ass pause before one of his strike mid combo just to mess up your rhythm.

That boss would be one of the hardest in turn based rpg if he wasn't so pathetically easy to one shot. They really fucked up with damage modifiers being multiplicative.

Yes, they should show you where to go with an arrow at all times and have UI elements covering the screen explaining everything about everything.

Sure, you can argue they sucked at establishing lines of communication. But they ended up all over the place with varying degrees of success.

Some getting quite close to success, like getting to the Monolith. Many of these were even early on, like some of the 80's expeditions. They were just doomed to failure since they didn't understand that they were trying to defeat their literal creator. I want to say some of them even figured out Renoir was trapped under the Monolith and was actually the one responsible.

Expedition 60. Bunch of jacked naked GigaChads managed to bust down the barrier with their bare hands. Figured out what was really going on and the last surviving member realized he was probably going to be gommage'd before he made it back to tell everyone the truth, which is what happened while trying to swim back across the ocean.

Verso's "plan" was to defeat the Aline so she would leave and the father could destroy the canvas and save her life. There's not really a "waiting it out" since he and the rest of the painted family are immune to the gommage and will still be there even at zero. His desire to sacrifice himself to save Aline is just like real Verso sacrificing himself for Alicia, so Aline's desire to recreate as much of the real Verso as possible, ultimately sabotaged herself. When Alicia was reborn he knew it was his last/best chance to end it and hung around waiting until she was old enough

I'll assume it was just me since this game is doing well but I could not get into this with the QTE fights. I refunded it on Steam.

I maintain that Metaphor Refantazio is a better overall experience since that game is an actual turn-based rpg.

I couldn't get into the gamely, but the 7 hour cutscenes video on YouTube is fantastic.

Every time I hear Feel the burn I think of the Bernie Sanders slogan Feel the Bern (which is a W slogan).
