I already own it on PC but it's an incredible game. One of the best jrpgs out there. Great writing, pacing, and every else I want out of this type of game. Pure bliss 10/10 for me.
It's a 9.75/10 FOR ME and only because of the obnoxious and tedious gestral beach mini games. Everything else is 10/10 with CO:E33 Can't wait to keep playing. 20.2 hours in or so
I really wish the mini games in Clair Obscur weren't utter butthole. Bc otherwise it's literally flawless.
BOY did I want to give it a ten but forced parkour (optional but what RPG nut isn't gonna be pissed for skipping obvious loot) mini games were unfun and janky af. Really was a bad look every few hours for a half hour or so each. The climbing puzzle is one of the shittiest times I've had in gaming. That's a vast difference to the otherwise utter perfection it offers in every other way for me.
Baffling that they put that dog crap in the game. Really could have let it be fun the whole time but no dev can make a single game without shoving some unfun poop into it.
Every 10 I'd have has some stupid stupid STUPID "creative" decision that always keeps it from perfect. I cannot fathom what possesses devs to do this. 1886, marvel Mary Jane, that Forrest in elden ring dlc, the forced stealth section of metaphor, etc. etc.
NO GAMER ALIVE WANTS THIS EVER AND THEY KEEP DOING IT PLEASE STOP YOU MORONS KTHX
Absolutely not for me. The "intro" section that's just scripted deaths in a row for absolutely no reason, teaching you absolutely nothing just made me unwilling to go any further. I'm not a big fan of FPS games, so I just want accessible fun. Borderlands. Titanfall. BioShock.
I didn't find skill to help me much in the beginning, and don't care to see if that changes later. It shouldn't be there. Days gone (not comparable as genre games) also did this for me. Opened the game so poorly and so frustrating that I couldn't care to get to the good parts.
There should be no unfun parts. Even dark souls type games have progression in the difficulty. I didn't find that here.
Not saying it can't be enjoyed. Just that it can't be enjoyed by me.
Best single month I've seen, personally. Loved flintlock, as I'm a big a44 fan. Kunitau gami is one of the best games of the year and such fun. Dungeons of hinterberg was cozy but cute and engaging. Neon white is a game I normally wouldn't like but immediately blasted through. I've played with the madman behind the ost and boy it did not disappoint. Flock was relaxing and serene. I haven't gotten to thcia but I'm sure to enjoy that too.
Unique offerings/variety I loved and that's more games in one month than I normally would play from the back library.
Lords of the Fallen has me smitten. Ive played and enjoyed dozens of soulslikes. Only elden ring, bloodborne, and ds3 are better than this imo. Plays so smooth. World is grand and it pays aesthetic homage while adding a huge dose of its own identity with unique mechanics and super satisfying combat. Also I've quite enjoyed every boss so far, and that consistency is worth gold to me. I won't be playing anything else until I'm done.
I have about 15-20 hrs so far and can't wait for more.
If it could run the newest games coming out and not limit future tech, it'd be the best idea ever.
Also it needs to be able to dock.
A portable game pass machine that actually ran great and had mainline Xbox/all modern console games playable at competitive fps/etc and it would outsell whatever playstation console was left alone on the market imo.
The switch showed us long ago that flagship and portable means massive sales.

Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak Announces 'Beast Of Reincarnation' For Xbox Game Pass
I'm SO excited for this!
Also they have a lot of answering to do about "why Pokemon looks like crap when you can do THIS"

Re: Xbox Insiders Can Now Remove Tiles On The Dashboard, And It Looks Weird
It's a swing and a miss imo.
We want to get rid of the other crap.
NOT our own titles.
Give us folders, even.
It really can't be hard to upgrade a friggin UI.
Add qol stuff and listen to customers.
How is this so hard for them?
Re: Xbox #1 Platform For Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, But Worst For Average Playtime
It's a 9.75/10 FOR ME and only because of the obnoxious and tedious gestral beach mini games.
Everything else is 10/10 with CO:E33
Can't wait to keep playing.

Re: Reaction: Oblivion Remastered Sets A New Standard For Xbox & Bethesda
It's bliss!
I can't believe Bethesda has their name on a game that isn't launched as a bugfest.
Wow!

Bravo.
I don't know what would top this for me.

Do the same thing with much higher quality?
Everyone will have one.
Absolutely everyone.
