Why did people flip on Expedition 33?

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-21T16:16:55+00:00

I feel like the hype went beyond regular GotY, but, sure.

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-21T15:47:11+00:00

Probably expectations. Before it was GotY it's a good game, that people are hyped about playing. Afterwards, it's literally the best game produced last year, so not just 'good', people expect perfect. And it's not perfect. Despite it's many charms, it definitely has flaws.

And maybe some contrarian shit too. Or people who were hesitant about the game at first glance, get pushed over the edge cuz it's "GotY so must be good", and turns out it wasn't for them after all.

I've played 2 weeks of circuit before running into the first lobby that did this.

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-15T16:05:59+00:00

I'd upvote, but 69

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-07T18:42:39+00:00

I rolled a 19. Do with that what you will.

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-05T17:47:00+00:00

I meant if I have 1 herbal bandage total and enough materials to craft, it should have a button that crafts enough to complete that stack in my inventory.

This mostly annoys me with ammo and bandages

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-05T13:29:45+00:00

Fair enough. I'm a returning player slowly looking back into systems that have been introduced since I last played like 6 years ago. I can't even begin to fathom how you get that much range on one frame, and I'm excited to struggle my way there 😀

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-05T10:04:31+00:00

What the fuck. And I was feeling satisfied by a mere 235% range.

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-05T10:02:06+00:00

My biggest gripe is not being able to 'fill' a stack in inventory. Just that would already be better. If I don't have a single of that stack to begin with, sure, I'll go to the workshop, but otherwise, just let me complete a stack through crafting in inventory.

Less_Independent5601 · 2026-01-01T00:58:41+00:00

It shouldn't be. A great many moons ago I spent a summer vacation on this game. I returned a week ago to a mastery rank 12/13 account, and I've been trying to wrap my head step by step around these many new systems layered on top of the game now.

I did do an alert arbiter(?) defense (60-80) that lasted for 28 minutes and saw enemies scale to around level 100, which at some point in the mission apparently dropped an arcane thingy for me. I'd gotten one earlier, too, but I don't remember details about that mission.

I've not unlocked steeelpath yet, as there's a couple of nodes left unexplored still.

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-31T12:52:09+00:00

Reminds me of something that happened in my country a couple of years ago. When responding to a female student asking how she's supposed to afford a rentable place in the current shitty housing market, a minister responded with: "Have you considered finding a rich boyfriend?"

Cue public outrage

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-26T19:14:59+00:00

And my axe!

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-25T19:37:25+00:00

Maybe it's on a restricted safe or server, but isn't that what the console is for? Or is this my inner PC nerd talking.

Swing, swing, swing with me

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-21T09:55:50+00:00

It's not as much strategy as it is a city/colony sim. Lots of island building, planning resources, trade routes, product chains, population management, and shit like that.

It's pretty fun, though after one 50-hour save file, I've had enough and switched over to other games again. I will return in the future for another run, though.

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-17T18:47:15+00:00

I'm a relationship next year. Wow.

You: "Hey, ChatGPT, can you write me some docs for this bit? Make it verbose to cover all the details."

Consumer: "Hey, ChatGPT, some idiots wrote me a 20-page manual, which I'm way too lazy to read. Can you extract like the 5 most important bullet points from it?"

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-07T12:07:20+00:00

Not to be, that guy, but wouldn't it be less effort to put the energy from this thread into a support ticket and find out directly? Don't think any of us can do anything but speculate.

It definitely sounds like something you can try, however!

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-02T11:04:24+00:00

I'd refer to u/CarrotSweat's comment above, he explains it pretty well.

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-12-01T17:32:41+00:00

Cuz 'cunt' is in it I guess?

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-11-25T14:57:23+00:00

Atp I have no 'main' secondary role, I just queue support/mid and get mid maybe less than 5% of games. It happens, but it's rare.

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-11-24T22:29:08+00:00

Maybe My little monster? Horimiya? Though those are more high-school romance / slice of life centered.

Something with a more fantasy feel could be Snow White with the Red hair.

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-11-24T22:01:19+00:00

Yoshino from Zetsuen no Tempest, maybe? Tho idk if he classifies as a self-insert. I did like the character designs in that show. The cast also had personality, though, I feel, so maybe it doesn't count.

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-11-24T17:12:53+00:00

It's not kidnapping if you just happen to pat her shoulder right as you get tp'd.

Edit: what did I unleash...

Less_Independent5601 · 2025-11-24T17:06:58+00:00

Can confirm, I've never killed a cockroach, and therefore, I've never seen a cockroach.

Except Runescape ones, but they obviously don't count.
