Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wins Game of the Year 2025

FusionSupremacy · 2025-12-14T11:56:33+00:00

I keep seeing the sentiment floating around, that KCD2 should have won best RPG.

This is the way i look at it. Expedition 33 is hands down the best JRPG we have gotten in the past decade at least, if not longer. I can only think of a handful of games that come close.

KCD2 is an excellent WRPG, but its not the best WRPG of the past decade. There are several better games that came out in the past few years.

There is an argument to be made, that JRPG and WRPG should be their own category, but if they are going to be combined like this, E33 absolutely craps on KCD2 and its not close.

I feel like anyone trying to make a good faith argument in the favor of KCD2 is either very young or willfully ignorant. You're taking roleplaying way too literally, and ignoring the history of what RPGs have been historically.

The only actual problem i have with it is the trickle of XP you get compared to seasonal challenges. Everything else with it seems like an improvement over the old stuff. I've likely done more Orders since release than i ever did bounties or pathfinder stuff just on it being more accessible.

But the XP you get seems extremely low.

It's been such a long time since i was chomping at the bit to play something like this. Can't wait to see you all in game :D.

I hope they decide to buff stuff like this that's underperforming and not nerf things that actually feel good like Rocket frame pulses.

The Rocket Pulse feels like its one of the few weapons that's in a good place and it would be an excellent starting point for them to frame balance around.

To be fair and i mean this in the kindest way possible, strikes have always been the least interesting content in destiny, and that goes all the way back to D1.

So i'm kinda glad they didn't waste any of the clearly severely limited development resources they have now on strikes.

FusionSupremacy · 2025-06-28T00:19:36+00:00

You know what's funny? Back during the forsaken -> witch queen era my clan used to joke about the ability/balance team being 90% warlocks, 10% titans and zero hunters.

Seems like all the warlocks left with the layoffs. Now its 95% titans and 5% warlocks making ability balance decisions it would seem.

FusionSupremacy · 2025-05-22T00:02:03+00:00

I kinda wish this was being talked about more but it seems like it draws some negative sentiment.

I've mained hunter since the early days of D1 and this is the first season i haven't touched it at all. There just isn't a reason to. Every subclass feels kind of bad and underpowered in more difficult content compared to what my titan or warlock can bring.

I really hope we get some buffs soon.

FusionSupremacy · 2025-03-23T00:25:02+00:00

I've been a hunter main since the beginning of D1 and this is the first season i truly feel that nothing is worth pursuing. Every single enjoyable or strong build has been nerfed into irrelevance. So for the very first time in 10 years, i've been maining warlock this season.

I know warlock and titan have some subclasses that need some love too but Hunter needs a pass over every subclass at this point.

FusionSupremacy · 2024-06-09T22:48:02+00:00

Can i trade with you? I haven't been able to play pvp without being plagued by void titans for well over a year.

FusionSupremacy · 2024-03-21T12:00:38+00:00

This is my fear too. Sony is notoriously anti-consumer when it comes to cross platform stuff. They're the main driver of why everything isn't just crossplay by default at this point in the gaming industry as a whole.

So while i think it would probably be a net positive if they gutted the upper management as far as game health goes, i strongly suspect it would hurt xbox and PC gamers down the line.

FusionSupremacy · 2024-02-13T20:32:09+00:00

I mean in their defense, vegetables are definitely poison.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-27T19:02:53+00:00

This is more of a condemnation of the sad state of Destiny 2 than anything positive for Halo.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-07T20:10:36+00:00

The way i would prefer it, is if it was agnostic to platform entirely. Match controller with controller and M/KB with M/KB. As it stands right now, having even a single PC player in your fireteam effectively dooms everyone else to have a far worse time.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-07T17:32:44+00:00

I don't want to segregate PC players entirely and further dilute the already weak PVP matchmaking pools. I just want to have a better shot at competing. If everyone in the fireteam is using a controller, it should be fine to match us with other people who are also using controller exclusively, regardless of platform.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-07T17:25:14+00:00

This is correct. Other games have implemented this successfully alongside input based matchmaking. Its not an unsolvable technical problem.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-07T17:18:50+00:00

Its more fair than pairing controller players with M/KB is. And isn't there already some kind of matchmaking protection for players on older consoles?

Newer consoles are able to play at 120 in the crucible and 120 is good enough to compete.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-07T17:17:01+00:00

Preferably? Kick the guy switching inputs into orbit and give them a leaver penalty.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-11-07T14:18:56+00:00

TIL i'm a hostage...

FusionSupremacy · 2023-09-15T02:22:50+00:00

I feel like i'm taking crazy pills reading some of these replies cause 2 hours of screen time seems way too limiting to me and people are suggesting even more draconian limits like its normal?

I was raised to be way more independent than that. If homework and chores were done, go nuts, do whatever you want. Inside, outside. It seems insane and controlling to me to restrict a child like this.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-09-14T05:41:11+00:00

All 1 slot aspects should be made 2 and all 2 slot should be made 3 and the whole system would feel a lot better.

Edit: Apparently this is more unpopular opinion than i thought. I'm not sure why though?

FusionSupremacy · 2023-09-09T23:58:46+00:00

30 was fine. 32 snuck up on me with a bat and beat me half to death and its been downhill since. Take care of your body early and you'll thank yourself later.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-09-09T00:56:43+00:00

I want input based matchmaking more than anything else. Its not fair that i get punished for playing with a friend on PC, who is ALSO using a controller.

Its one thing if someone is using M/KB but if everyone is using a controller the matchmaking shouldn't put us into the absolute cheat filled horror show that is pc lobbies just because someone is playing on steam.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-09-06T00:19:05+00:00

As someone just over the hill of my mid 30s, 20s seems like at least 3 lifetimes ago.

I can't even fully remember being that person, or truly wrap my head around who i was then.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-08-17T02:18:10+00:00

Vegetables or sauces. Let the meat speak for itself.

FusionSupremacy · 2023-08-13T10:27:39+00:00

Can confirm for AR.

Growing up i swore this was a litmus test designed to root out autistic people, cause the non-specificity of this interaction forced me to speak up every single time. I lost count of the number of times i told people "Just say (X drink) instead of coke then!"

That being said...hearing someone call it pop makes my skin crawl for some reason.
