What Game Are You Playing At The Moment ?

[kingcarr21]

Started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on Switch. Ive heard good reviews about this game but so far im finding it quite boring. The battle system involves auto attacking so you dont really do anything. im probably not giving it a chance so i will continue and see if the story progresses into something i want to continue with. Im sure the battle system will become more strategic and interesting the more i play

I see Ubisoft are struggling again.

 

Ubisoft cancels six games including Prince of Persia and closes studios - BBC News

 

As far as Sandfall are concerned, no doubt they will see this as "an advantage".

Good, they can go to hell.

Go woke, go broke.

 

Just rehashing the same story over and over again, rely on micro-transactions, and focus on DEI. Surely can't end in disaster.
One of the most despicable and arrogant software companies out there.

Well, they're French.
Or rather: They'll have been French sooner than later.

 

I do hope the talent that has been hired based on ability finds work elsewhere soon.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has shown how it is done.

I've been clearing the post game side content areas of expedition 33 one by one following this handy ordered list:

 

 

Currently in the endless night sanctuary at around level 79.  I also did the gestral beach tower climb in one attempt 

 

Done around 62 hours so far on this run, still loads of trophies to go though.

Ive just finished the endless tower. The bosses on level 11 are something else. There is a place southeast from Luminere called Versos drafts. A completely new big area filled with sweets and candies as well as new enemies.

Yes, I've seen Verso's drafts.

 

Just managed to reach level 10 on endless tower and it's not easy at all.  Characters around level 85.

 

I went into Renoir's drafts for a laugh and managed to take out a few enemies in there.  The merchant sells Sciels best weapon there so I'm after him although he's not easy to beat in a fight either. 

 

No postgame content has me as addicted as this.  Normally I do everything before the final quest like in all the ACs and that's that.  This is different, I still cant put it down.  Completely hooked on finishing everything even though I feel as though I finished the story hours ago

Exactly the same for me. I want to get every achievement. Would probably be my most satisfying 100% yet. Ive done Renoirs drafts other than Simon. He destroyed me so will have to have a re think with my Pictos and Luminas but at least i can fast travel to him now. Reaching level 99 will be a slog.

I've done the merchant at Renoirs Drafts so now have Sciels best weapon.  Needed the anti blight from The Reacher to make that an easier solo fight though.  Since then I've picked up everyones best weapon apart from Simoso which is past Simon.  I'm ripping through everything, Flying Manor is easy, the flying dragon was easy.  The two problems are Clea and Simon.  Clea ends up in a stalemate as I can't time the parries well enough and she ends up a 559k health increase.  I'm in no danger but going round in circles there.  Simon is just way too overpowered. 

 

I'm at level 88 so here comes the grind...

Ive done Simon and Clea. Need 3 more achievements which are reaching level 99, gestral side quests and the gestral beach challenges. Currently level 93.

 

As for the 5 extra optional bosses in the endless tower im getting ko'd in 1-2 hits.

I finished the endless tower 11-3 last night, first attempt.  Level 90.

 

I've got less than 10 trophies to go, which includes a couple of combat specific for Maelle and Monoco, the Petank, gestral, level 99, Clea, Simon and his journal.

 

I'm going to look at these one shot builds on Simon - and cheat basically - just like I did with Gna on GoW Ragnorok to get platinum.  I don't want to have to rage at it over and over again and get nowhere.  It will spoil the ending of the game.  FF7 Rebirth is exactly the same with those annoying Chadley combat simulations.

 

Once I've done the collectables, I will see where I am at with the levels, I don't want to grind to 99, I'd rather start NG+ and level up naturally in that.  The game deserves a replay for the masterpiece that it is.

Agree totally. Just done level 99 so just the 2 gestral achievements left now. Have you tried the ultimate bosses in the endless tower behind the painting? They are the ones who ko me in 1 hit. You dont get anything from defeating them just luminas, pictos outfits and exp. Think its been my most favourite game since FF10.

[Libertine]

On the road to getting the Sleeping Dogs platinum. Bit of a grind but simple enough.

It's definitely the best turn based RPG since FFX.  If only FFXVI used the combat mechanics.  Hopefully Square Enix take note and produce a battle system similar to 33 for their next FF project.

 

Achievements now all done apart from lvl 99, Clea, Simon and his journal.  Volleyball is a pain on the gestral games - I found it trickier than the climb which I did 1st attempt

Star rapture, Satisfactory with more shooting stuff.

It's fantastic.

 

Some tips:

 

If you say "DON'T SHOOT!" people will put their gun away and you can kill them easily.

 

Running all over the map to get the best loot is a lot of effort. If you hide in a bush near the extraction, mobile loot containers will come to you.

 

If you team up with someone, you can watch them and get a good idea of how much stuff they're bringing. Be really friendly and you can go to extraction together, tell them you'll cover them while they use the console and you can shoot them in the back. Now you get twice the loot and they've helpfully carried it to the exit for you.

How long did it take you to get from lvl 92 to lvl 99 and where did you go to lvl up?

Not sure on time but best area was renoir drafts. From the 1st flag go down the slope and turn left. Grapple up the building then head down to 3 enemies. No damage gets over 3 mil exp.

 

I used Sciel, Maelle and Lune. All 3 had cheater and first strike lumina on. Lune to go 1st.Attack and then the skill hell. Then Maelle who used an energy tint on Sciel then use the skill last chance to put her in virtuso mode. Then Sciel to use the skill fortunes fury on Maelle then the skill intervention so Maelle goes immediately. Now shes in virtuso stance and has fortune fury i used her skill phantom strike to hit all enemies. That pretty much wiped the enemies out.

 

Id then return to the flag and rest. Then rinse and repeat. Getting 3 mil exp for about 1 and 1/2 mins. Cant remember what other luminas i had on. Think Lune had double burn. 

 

Hope that helps.

I was being completely honest with you.

 

Those tips were 100% helpful.

 

If you don't follow them, other people will.

Yeah, if you want a target on your back I guess. I'd not forget.

 

But if you want to be the up there then maybe. I believe in community.

 

No judgement here. That's the game, right?
