Should I get Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or persona 3

[Lazy]

Which game should I get, I know both game are good but I don't know which game should I start first?

[Talbot]

I mean you're gonna get a different answer based on where you ask, but COE33 is one of the best games I've ever played and Persona 3 I got too bored of to finish.

[Hormesis]

if you like going to class during the day and joining clubs and meeting the class president. then spending your nights roaming around tokyo's subway fighting penis monsters then persona 3. your icon tells me P3 might be more up your alley

Easiest yes of my life bro.

Do you like videogames? Do you like rpgs. Did you perhaps like baldurs gate (arguably same quality) or maybe your familiar with the jrpg turn based system of Final fantasy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should get it.
If you answered no to all of these questions you should get it for you and your friends so we (the 96 percent of us) can have a better gaming experience in the future.

Btw , thanks !

Both are honestly good, but E33 is current. It's also really popular in a short amount of time, and the fan base it built up is surprisingly chill. It's also cheaper than Reload, if you want to buy the DLC for Reload, if you're talking about that version of the game anyway. If you want Reload, it'll go on sale eventually, whereas this one's already only $50 with a completely optional DLC. They both have amazing soundtracks. Persona, if you like modern music, but this game has a surprisingly great opera soundtrack.

Also, mechanically, Persona 3 plays a little like Pokemon, where you swap out your Persona for the one that you need and use the one you have active, as well as having a party of other characters to control. This game is a more standard RPG, where you can dodge and parry attacks like Sekiro. But there is a lot of customization as well. Again, both games are winners IMHO, but E33 is current and it's cheap enough.

Wait until P3 goes on sale, because it will. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece and well worth playing now and paying full price to support such an awesome company.

at some point you'll want to play both, since youre asking
and both are great games
so since E33 is current and popular right now, you'll have the enhanced experience of playing something recent alongside many other people willing to learn and share their experience too

otherwise just flip a coin and pick one random

By the way, both Clair Obscur and Persona 3 Reload are on Game Pass, if you have that. If that's why you were asking, I still say E33 first, because again, it's what people are playing right now. Kairi is 100% right.

If you like Japanese games. Persona 3
If you hate Japanese games, E33.

Currently in NG+ playthrough.
A lot of hyperbolic comments are being thrown around about the game as it's still in the honey moon phase for a lot of people.
A very good game but it has some issues that aren't exactly negatives so ppl don't really bring them up.

Combat is the best part of the game, but is very easy once you get the relative hang of the enemy's "move-set." A lot of the boss fights are a little underwhelming as well, even on Expert for my first play through.

Map exploration and loot is very basic.
The character skill trees are also pretty basic and meh the further you get in, the weapon choices too I wish were a little expanded upon.
And the post-story end game side content is either really good (some hidden bosses,) or really meh, pretty much everything else.

A solid 8/10 for me, at the price it is as well it's almost certainly worth it.

I will say Clair Obscure Expedition 33 is a very good game, but it depend on you what you want to get and play first.

Both great but I can't recommend Expedition 33 enough. Top 5 game all time for me and I'd be pretty shocked if it doesn't win GOTY.

Nah. They'll release some PS5 exclusive garbage that will "mysteriously" get the GotY title.

Expedition 33 all day long.

Persona is overrated. Except Persona 4.

3, 4 and 5 all are excellent. 5 being the best because of variety of mechanics and variety of stories.

[Vox Maximus]

You could just get a PC gamepass and play both.
