I was reading, found out how to make my build work on the first turn and then have another one shot each turn after that without issue. That might be a bit too far and game breaking but I have to try it now. I'll not be using it for the end game mega bosses even though I have only one I know abiut left, swapped out the character last night while fighting 

Spoiler!
Clea

after one shooting the boss and reloaded the save, the fight was fun and a challenge, no point in ruining the game in these parts but the builds are great for the dungeon mobs, still fun. Like Vampire Survivors if you make a game fun enough, you can become a God and it should still remain fun. That is true here.

^La Lumiere lyrics

Only issue I have so far it is so bright or so dark on my tv but it is literally in the name Clair Obsur= Chiaroscuro or a big gap between Light and Dark elements






Just one shot the true final boss in new game plus as soon as he opened up with 130 million damage. Took a lot of fiddling and I had to rely on luck from roulette (50/50 odds are not designed right into this game cause you'd never flip a coin a dozen times in a row and get the same result) but when it worked it really overkilled him, it was beautiful. 

Still have to do so much to get the platinum cause I missed one damn collectible in my first playthrough but speed running is going good, can pretty much avoid most enemies and then grab the EXP when I get the tower for level 99. Should be no more than 6 hours in NG+ and then onto a fresh save file, I don't think I have ever been excited to start a game over again while playing the game, right now I've broke the game so much I wouldn't no where to start to balance it again.

The only issue so far to me is the dubbing audio being too low on custscenes

I can adjust and lower music during gameomay sessions, but on custscenes the music and effects are too loud and the voice acting too soft

But this is just a small nitpick for a game that good

I was expecting the fourth party member to be a boy, but guess Gustave harem needed a new girl 



Number 2 top selling on Steam. Number 1 top selling discounting free to play.


I expect 2 million soon. Also, the 9.7 user rating has nearly 9 thousand reviews and some adding 0's attempting to review bomb it out of spite, probably Oblivion players. Thst's an unprecedented score. The hype just keeps getting crazier online and it's been out two weeks. The reviews on Steam keep climbing too, at 93% up from 89% last time I checked.


The completion rate is climbing steadily too, 20% in act 3 where most people will stay for a while before rolling credits. That's insane for a game this long, this early. 1.1% Platinum rate after two weeks and it's a 70 hour Platinum with no Trophy road map out yet. It's unbelievable.

You're obsessed with Oblivion and trying to make this a competition...Let it go, Lmao. Two great RPGs released near each other, celebrate them both instead of trying to pit them against each other.

There's only 148 negative ratings on Meta...That's not a review bomb, Lol. A lot of the complaints are about the combat which I've seen even fans of the game say they weren't a fan of the parrying system and struggling with it.

Makes no sense that Oblivion fans would review bomb it out of spite, I've seen more complaints about it being "woke" than I have seen Oblivion fans angry at its success which isn't a surprise because I've seen precisely zero Oblivion fans angry at Expedition 33, Lol.

I don't have a clue why Oblivion players would review bomb Expedition 33 out of spite...Makes no sense at all, Lol.

Well it was a slight joke but I'm probably right, when people buy something and there is another product everyone says is better they don't feel validate in their purchase and then get mad at the better product. Most people don't have the money to be spending 105 euro on two games in a week.

You've made a number of bitter looking posts towards Oblivion and trying to pit Expedition 33 and Oblivion against each other, it is just a bit exhausting, it is possible to simply celebrate more than one game at once u'know, Lol.

Like I said it was 148 negative reviews, that isn't a review bomb. A lot of the complaints are about the gameplay, a complaint that is common, I've browsed the ResetEra thread on Expedition 33 and the #1 complaint is about the parry system, so it's not exactly a shock that a few people will hate it.

Of 71 negative written reviews on Metacritic, only 3 have reviewed both Oblivion Remastered and Expedition 33, 1 of those also gave Oblivion Remastered a negative score, the other two admittedly did give Oblivion Remastered a 10/10 and Expedition a 3/10 and the other gave Oblivion Remastered a 9/10 and Expedition a 0/10 so 2/71 thus a 2.8% ratio to "back" your claim up, Lol.

But one of those is a woke loser who has been downvoting a bunch of games for being woke and I have seen a well known Twitter loser accusing Expedition 33 of being woke so it's more likely that guy gave Expedition a 3/10 over some woke bullshit than being a bitter Oblivion fan and the other hated the parrying system.

There is little to no evidence of what you're claiming.

Oblivion fans don't need to feel validated about anything, Oblivion is one of Bethesda's most highly rated Elder Scroll's titles, even the original release sold millions, now they've got an updated remaster of one of their fondest memories and the Remaster is selling brilliantly as well. There is nothing to be bitter about or needing their purchase validated, they'll enjoy Oblivion Remastered and then go play Expedition 33 when they're done with it (and Game Pass users will get both for free, Lol). Finally not everyone agrees that Expedition 33 is better than Oblivion but they may agree it's better than Oblivion Remastered, after all, it is a remaster of a game from 2006, Lol.

The funny thing is The Elder Scrolls fans shit talk each other constantly. There's a bigger rivalry between fans of Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim than there is Oblivion vs Expedition 33 which feels like an entirely made up thing, I browse a lot of Elder Scrolls communities and I've not seen any bitterness towards Expedition 33 but I have seen Oblivion fans ripping into Skyrim fans and Morrrowind fans ripping into both, Lmao.
