⚠️ SPOILER – ENDING OF CLAIR OBSCUR:
EXPEDITION 33 ⚠️

(If you haven’t finished the game yet, please come back to this later. This post comes from a place of reflection — but it contains major spoilers.)

At the end, I had to choose: Maelle or Verso.
And I chose... Maelle.

Because I truly felt that the people created within her painting had souls.
They weren’t just brushstrokes.
They loved. They feared. They lived.
Their feelings toward Maelle felt real — deeply real — and I couldn’t bring myself to erase all that in the name of a “real” world.
I know it meant turning away from reality.
But sometimes... it’s worth saving many lives, even if they’re made of paint, by sacrificing just one.

It wasn’t an easy choice. But it was mine.
And it’ll stay with me for a long time.

They said Glarthir was doomed.
But one player spent 10,000 gold to keep him alive through his rampage.
Oblivion Remastered just got personal.

[GSD @GameSmartDeals]

Games don’t have to be fun.
They just have to make you feel something.
When did a game last do that to you?

[GSD @GameSmartDeals]

They remastered Oblivion and somehow it still feels like 2006.
The grass is sharper, but the nostalgia cuts deeper.
You back in Cyrodiil yet?

🚴‍♂️ GTA VI and the flip-flop physics you didn’t know you needed

In the first GTA VI trailer, there’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment: a cyclist riding in flip-flops, with the pedal wedged between his foot and the sandal.

It’s not a bug. It’s Florida.

Sean Murray (No Man’s Sky) even joked that this level of detail is probably why the game’s taking so long.
And honestly? He’s not wrong. Rockstar’s attention to detail is wild.
Someone out there actually thought, “Wait, that’s how people do it there,” and then added it to the game.
That kind of care is what sets this studio apart.

Exactly , I’ve been thinking the same.
It’s wild how Verso’s ending gets framed as the “right” one just because it’s tied to reality and “moving on.”
But yeah... if you strip the emotion away, it’s basically a god wiping out an entire world just to process personal grief.
If that happened in any other story, we’d probably call it out for what it is.
And honestly, I think that’s what makes this game so special, it doesn’t hand you a clean answer. It just trusts you to sit with the weight of it.

Totally fair take i felt that too.
It’s like both endings carry a bit of control, right? No one walks away entirely free.
For me, Maelle keeping Verso alive felt less like dominance and more like... a desperate need not to lose everything.
But yeah, letting him go might’ve been the more merciful path.
Funny how both choices hurt in different ways.

[GSD @GameSmartDeals]

🎮 What’s a game you finished... and then immediately missed like it was a person?

For me, it was Expedition 33. The moment I turned it off, it felt like walking out of a dream you weren’t ready to leave.

(Yes, I know — another post about Expedition 33. Can’t help it. That game lives rent-free in my head.)

What about you?

#GamingFeels #GamesThatStayWithYou #GameSmartDeals

[GSD @GameSmartDeals]

Damn, that’s a really good point.
I didn’t look at it that way, but yeah maybe letting go was the kinder choice.
It’s wild how this game doesn’t really give you a clear “right” answer… just leaves you sitting with it.
Appreciate you dropping your thoughts — makes me rethink mine a bit too.
