Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

I'm going to pick that up.

Like, I don't, I think that like, that's something over the past while, um, that I have kind of, uh, come to a conclusion on, um, cause there's a similar, uh, comparison to the film industry right now right like we're seeing films like original ideas um that either do really well or really bad and that kind of transitions to my third point is the onlineness of it all right where we have certain games um certain films that get popular Mainly because of how it took off online, right? Like, Expedition 33, you know, the most rewarded game of all time now.

And you know I'm a big JRPG guy, and I was super, like, I was annoyingly excited for that game when it came out.

it didn't fully hit for me.

But I think the...

Because one, I'm always trying to figure out what is the thing I'm missing when I hear everyone talk about this genre and what is the thing I'm missing when I see people play these kinds of games.

And I do think Expedition 33 did kind of give me the experience that I was hoping for.

And that was the, you know, this feels like the gateway drug to a certain extent of like, what would you want that to be for you if you want to continue to kind of like go down this path of playing more of these kinds of games? How much of the world do you kind of already have to have an understanding for? Because Final Fantasy is such a dense universe, right? With so many things that I have been very, very, you know, behind on, I don't have the knowledge that you or other folks would have to be like, oh, well, this fits in the lineage of X, Y, and Z.

that game called?

Clare Obscure.

Clare Obscure.

Yeah.

Which I liked a lot.

Because as a character, Revan is, it's not like a blank slate, is it? But it's sort of like a possibility space in which you could kind of have one of multiple different kind of...

um reven's on a sliding scale um so i don't think for me reven is a character that kind of like gets right up into the echelons of like top tier characters because there's not that much character behind it and obviously we're all gonna have very different experiences with reven itself but i do think it's an important part of video game in history and like a massive kind of like feather in the cap for Bioware in my opinion so I think in my view a good home for Revan would probably be the new number 38 between Liquid Snake and SGA and that's purely on the basis that I think Revan will stand the test of time in a way that SGA probably will not if Claire Obscure doesn't kind of keep going.

He is full of wine and he is very French.

Yeah, he is.

Oh, no, you're still on the first one? Oh, gosh.

I've been kind of preoccupied when I am playing that style of game, playing Expedition.

Yeah.

Which I haven't played for a bit again because I've been busy and tired when I have time to

play.

Yeah, you do not play Expedition 33 when you're tired.

Even Final

Fantasy

And this is not reflective in my score of the game.

But I haven't felt that kind of sadness that I won't ever get to experience for the first time again since Expedition 33.

Which is wild.

Big Walk as a game is a project that really forces its players to communicate with each other in ways that are creative and effective.

It sounds a bit dumb.

I'm not one to cry a lot of media.

Expedition 33 broke me several times.

This, I got quite teary at the end because I had established all these memories and these experiences with Joey and Alex, and then it has a whole thing of press Q to wave goodbye to your friends and you watch them walk off into the light.

Better than

Expedition 33? I put it on the spot.

We'll do that episode later.

You know, I still haven't played

While I believe there will always be a place for the properly developed and budgeted AAA experience, a AA game that provides a great immersive experience for a lower price is less risky and can provide much greater returns on average.

And then goes on to example, Claire Obscure Expedition 33 with its apparently produced budget of $50 million.

Speaking of games with a lower entry price.

Yeah, so Stage Tour has announced a total of 65 songs so far that will feature in the game at launch.

Good for him.

He previously was Gustav in Expedition 33 and most popular for his role as Daredevil

in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the heist of all time news, two entire pallets of RTX 5090s have gone missing from a Brazilian airport.
