What games are you playing currently?

Huh, I haven't been getting any crashing through my time with it and I've had it for more than a year. But I've always found the game to be very repetitive and the tasks are always samey, especially now that I'm at end-game and have to grind just to be able to unlock the last two worlds.

There's one quest towards the middle of the main quest which I feel is terrible design, and it's that you have to be in-game during specific time periods, defined by the clock on your system, in order for items related to that quest to show up. There are certain times of day I just don't play for different reasons, and this caused me to change my schedule.

Personally, I've had way more fun with My Time at Portia. That one is a hybrid crafting rpg/action rpg along the lines of Stardew Valley.

Well everyone's systems are different. Maybe at a later date I might buy it again but for now I'm out. Maybe you could play with your pc clock and change that to get those items

Having recently completed Last of Us Part 1 ( still have to do the DLC Left Behind) i stumbled upon Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 because all review sites are falling over themselves and giving very high ratings and some floating it as a candidate for Game of the Year.

Checked it out, story sounded fascinating and even though i have not played much japanese RPG style games i decided why not, especially because i got it for less than 30 Euros and it looks like an AAA title with a stacked voice cast ( Charlie Cox voicing the lead character).

Played a couple minutes of the intro and it really looks great even on my 2 generations old system.

Who does the voice of the girl in the game? She sounds familiar

Only seen trailers and undecided, it's on my steam wishlist, hoping for a sale price


The two here in this pic I mean

True enough. I guess I'm surprised you were having problems with it, as I've always thought you had the more powerful system.

As for changing the PC clock, I've only heard it messes up some of the quests if you do that, so it's not recommended.

Oh ok so no clock changing then.

Jennifer English, who played Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3. She'll be doing a playthrough stream on her twitch later this week so I figured I'll check the game out for myself then.

Now that explains the voice. I played a bit of BG 3. It's a huge game but needs a bit more commitment than I'm wanting to right now.

Yeah, that's the gist of it. And there were many complaints about that particular quest line. I don't know if they've made changes to it since I completed it.

I'm now probably about 15 hours into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33... oh man, what a game.
