It's a pretty unique week for Defining Duke listeners. It's practically no news and all games. Oblivion Remaster truly was shadowdropped. That just happens to be the same week that a bonafide GOTY contender in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 arrives. Oh, we also have Last Defense Academy and Blue Prince to add to that bunch and that's just the last couple of weeks! Joining us to comb through this week and much more is Ebontis, co-host of The Last Word and a variety based content creator.

Ayyye great to see Ebontis on the ep!

Avowed is seemingly dead now because of oblivion remastered. Seems kinda like bad optics to even make avowed with an oblivion remake in the oven. Xbox killing its own ip’s with its own ip’s lol smh

Playing Oblivion is literally all I want to do right now. I feel like I’m 12 years old again.

It’s crashed on me twice so far and the framerate in the open world is tanking consistently, i’m on PS5 pro, is this happening to some of ye too?

Forget leak culture. Let’s talk about thumbnail culture. Nothing could turn me off a video harder than soy facing at slop.

To me, the idea that Oblivion Remaster is eating Expedition 33's lunch and Microsoft is "screwing them over" is absolutely ridiculous. They're two very different games. Oblivion is a western-style RPG with sim-lite mechanics whereas Expedition is an eastern-style turn-based RPG. They're very different games. This would be like saying "no one is going to play Rainbow 6 Siege because Wolfenstein The New Order exists." Sure, they're both shooters, but they're targeting different audiences with *some* overlap. Same thing with these two RPGs. Saying Microsoft is actively screwing over Expedition 33 is just downright outlandish

We are already talking about the Skyrim remester… so are we just going to forget Morrowind? 😔

Yet

At 1:05… we taking it Octo style?? 😂🤨

Oblivion been running GREAT for me until 5 hours in. Started getting crashes, downloaded this oblivion remaster specific AMD driver update, now my whole system is having major issues lmao. Gonna have to go back to the drawing board myself

Bartevious

I think there’s more overlap here tbh. I feel like many who would play one, would play the other. I know I’m in that camp and chose oblivion.

The performance is terrible! Why "shadow drop" something that is optimized this poorly? I'm on ps5 pro. I bought expedition 33! This game is Fantastic!!! Really hope they get oblivion sorted out. It's awesome that they remastered it but come on! The might of Microsoft, Bethesda and Virtous dropping it in it's current state is ridiculous. I'm glad it exists but DO BETTER FFS!

Must be a rare PC win as it runs almost flawlessly on my PC with consistently high/ultra 80-90-100fps on a middle of the road setup

EEWEE

I'm sure your guest is very knowledgeable but damn, hard to come onto a gaming show as a featured guest not having played a large number of the best games that are super relevant to the topic of this week's show lol

Devin (the dude abides) Torres

I wonder if it has to do with the layering of creation engine inside unreal 5 maybe. I'm glad I've got expedition 33. Hopefully it'll be patched up and running better by the time I'm done with that.

I personally hope Bethesda and Virtuous give Skyrim this oblivion treatment and charge everyone another $20 for the upgrade. Call it the Fuck You, Pay Me Edition. Seriously though, what we got with Oblivion was best case scenario. Actually can’t believe how much they improved/added and got right. Sprinting, being able to see your whole map, additional skill attributes, god dam son. Hopefully they let us remap dodge. Thats probably my biggest complaint at the moment.

Yo. My boy E!

Ahlickaloo

Yeah I chose expedition over oblivion but I get the point you’re making

Ahlickaloo

How’s the fps on pro?

C

It’s grand when inside dungeons, etc, but once you step foot into the open world it’s all over the place. Feels like quality mode is running at about 12fps!

Bartevious

If avowed would’ve been better I don’t think it would’ve caused any issues

Anthony Palerino

Yo thank you for shouting out expedition 33’s STYLE. Yeah it has a realistic art style, but some have gone so far to say that it is JUST realism. IMO this game has so much more personality and uniqueness in art style than any other anime-style game (Metaphor/Persona are exceptions though)

The Incredible Shulk

5 hours in, and I am just shocked with Expedition 33. It looked good in previews, but it is just so rare when a game exceeds all the hype

Save The Game Media

There was a miscommunication at the end. Matty was asking if he could have cross progression between Steam and Xbox.
