E33 shills never recovered from this
every single time
>>732257782>E33 shillsWhat shills?>you can pump out garbageIt's not garbage though.>then astroturf itIt's not astroturfed though.
>>732257782Twitter niggers are in tears that a well made single player turnbased RPG is popular and well praised by critics and players
I will never buy this masonic and jewish shilled trash.
>some retarded post from Twitter that is also getting ratio'd said something retard Ok
>>732257782I would not call E33 garbage. Its a solid game. It is astroturfed to hell and back though. The early shilling days were really noticeable, over time I think they got actual customers to start doing the shilling for free
>>732257782This game is nothing but a psy op. Silksong gets more discussion than this.
>>732257835>>732257909>>732257995>>732258060how much are you paid?>>732258027you are based
>>732257782this has been every single game for the last 15 years. maybe even longer. 5th gen is arguable but 6th gen absolutely jumped the shark and PC gaming was not much better unless you are a /jp/ holdout
>>732257782>this generation
>>732258215i'm supposed to know who this chink is?e33 is astroturfed by CPP so it makes sense
I enjoyed it, but yea, ridiculously astroturfed.
>>732258187> unless you are a /jp/ holdoutlol, lmao
>>732258894touhou was still going strong during 6th gen.
>>732258181how brown are you?
>gaming awards are le corrupt>what normalfags like is just astroturfedYeah no shit. Why don't these third worlders take the next step and stop caring about awards and what normalfags play? They should have realized this 20 years ago
GOTY can't hear your bullshit over all the awards and 10/10's it got.
>>732258793>It's ASTROTURFED>why?>BECAUSE THE $10MILLIONS GAME HAVE FUNDING.kek
>>732257782Is it really that hard to digest the idea that most people who play vidya these days are geriatric normies who didn't spent their childhood absorbing adderall like candy? Is it this unacceptable to suggest that Square was in fact super fucking wrong (again) and shot itself in the foot (again) with their stupid gamble on action combat?You guys let your out of control autism turn you into phony esoteric wannabes where you think spamming gitgud and skillissue is peak wit (It's reddit tier at this point really) and when reality kicks in your phony esoteric attitude melt like ice cream and you're exposed for overstimulated sociopaths you are. Your peak wit is reduced to conspiracy posting like /pol/ while pretending you're better than /pol/.I get it, E33 doesn't have enough APM to make you feel alive. You need a healthy reset. Not an endless arms race with game devs to the point where NitroGen enters the scene and turns all gaming into Sony Movie games.
>>732257782>never recovered>game broke every award record>peaked on sales again 8 months after releaseSee things as they are not like you want them to be.
>>732257995>RPG>exactly one choice in the entire game
>>732257782Never seen anyone use the word "astroturf" who wasn't a tranny.
>>732257782>pump out garbage and drones lap it upwe already knew you could do that when Last of Us got praised to high heaven
sex with clea
>it's garbage because i say it is alright
>>732258351>Posts GenX writing
>>732257835Still FPBP
>hating E33Skin issue.
>>732260367You saw the ai image didnt you?
pro tip: if you haven't played E33 yet, play it. You'll have fun.
>>732257835browns trying to call other people browns remains the most transparent and flimsy defense
>>732262246>4 niggas in a row with QTEsI'll pass.
>>732262402Tendies loves when Mario did 2 niggas in a row with QTE, what's so bad about adding a 3rd nigga?
excrement 33° of freemasonry ( Rosicrucian department )-not an indie game-gaudy art style as despicable as nouveau art-retarded gentiles first exposure to the gnose so it's le deep-poojet sub contractors and free use of public assets-overshilled everywhere while silksong at the same time got a full armada of poop bots to shit on it online A game for le goyim
>>732257782>E33 set a standard for lowering the cost of development while still making a decent game that was well receivedhow do schizos parse this as a negative
>>732262029AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SEXSEXSEX
I've only seen jeets shit on E33 btw.
>>732257782"people only like it because its qualityslop"
>>732262708I dunno anon, who has the most to gain from making sure gaming costs are NOT reduced?
>>732257835buy an ad
>>732257782why would they need to recover from all those high ratings
>>732262708>>732262816reducing both cost of development and cost of a game.Fucking tendo sells their shit for 80$ while E33 costs 50$
>>732258793>>732260989Not gonna argue against the game being astroturfed or that Sandfall was a nepobaby's dream company funded by daddy, but I did enjoy the game that came out of it. Most of the core staff were nobodies plucked off the internet, too. The only one of the core devs with the actual connections and absurd amounts of money was the CEO. That being said, they obviously outsourced lots of shit and paid for viral marketing, but I would always prefer to play some rich nerd's dream game over corporate slop designed by a bunch of shareholders looking to extract as much profit from trends and microtransactions.At least Clair Obscur was made with some semblance of passion, and it was a solid 7/10. The music bumped it up to an 8, maybe. I won't pile on the same amount of praise that some people do onto the game, because it's frankly gotten obnoxious. That doesn't mean I wouldn't buy 100 games like Clair Obscur, which launched at $40, before I would even touch actual slop like High Guard.
>>732262816You are not very bright, are you?
>>732262806This isn't as stupid as it may seem on the surface.If a game has high production values, it might trick normies into thinking it's good even when the gameplay (and often the writing) actually sucks.
Unironically, how did this board become this brown?I have the firm conviction 2/3 of the posts ITT were written by literal third world 72 IQ retards.At first I thought it was all ironic posting but it seems too recurring to be the case.Also it seems it has gotten a lot worse in the last 6 months or so.
>>732263450>when the gameplay (and often the writing) actually sucks.gameplay is good for JRPG standards, writing is great
>>732257782>shilling/astroturfing is when people talk about game I don't likeTranny argument.. Nobody even knew what E33 was until after it came out and spread through word of mouth. There was no pre-release hype which is how you know it's praise is 100% organic. Actual shilled games get shilled before they release.>t.was anticipating E33 releasing from the first trailers
So true, xister! Don't they know it's doin a big heckin racisterino to like E33 more than other jrpgs???
>>732263886Yeah I remember all the streamer scum playing the Oblivion remaster while it was out.
>>732257782I don't know who that is and this is the first time I saw this post
>>732257782Yeah and TLoU was any different?Since when do we care about the opinions of people who cant pass the cuphead tutorial or whatever award doritoman hands out anyway?
I know for a fact that 90% of the time you faggots say something is shilled or astroturfed not even you yourself genuinely believe it. You just use the accusation as a disingenuous means of shitting on games you don't like when you can't actually criticize the game itself.
>>732258181you retards do know "based" comes from a rap song, right?
>>732264024>when you can't actually criticize the game itselfIt's a JRPG. That's all that needs to be said.
>>732264123>it's *one of the most popular and most beloved genre of video game ever*No I don't think that is all that needs to be said.
>>732263532It's most noticeable in any stealth /an/ thread. Brownoids cannot comprehend appreciating nature and animal companionship and will try to derail it with gore.
>>732264176Among subhumans maybe.
>>732263886There was definitely a little viral marketing. I had the game wishlisted on Steam for several months before it released, and it was because of threads on here. Not nearly as much as schizo anons say, though, and a lot of it was organic.
>>732264176lolIf JRPGs are so popular and loved then why is the genre so dead?Nobody likes them but people who actually want to play dating sims but they don't exist anymore.
>>7322641764 niggas in a row is a genre that should've died with the SNES
>>732264226The first time E33 got any kind of traction was when it showed up at the Xbox showcase alongside the new Doom. It had a perfectly bog standard AA marketing and didn't have much of an online presence beyond people that are fans of JRPGs and turn based combat systems. Saying that E33 was astroturfed is just blatant cope. It was actually one of the less shilled games out there cause fucking NOBODY cared about it before that point. Like as I said I was following it for a year since they first announced it and you did not see anyone talking about it.
>>732264226This isn't viral marketing.We were a few anons following the game updates on /v/ before release because>the trailers were very good>devs released some banger musicThe threads were already filled with schizos and seethign tendies 6 months before release.We had Farquaad in every single thread trying to derail.The only inorganic thing was the Maelle posting but gooners are gonna goon
>>732257835As much as critics have a track record of bad takes and being bought out, user reviews have made me appreciate some critics more.Too many user reviews can only think in the binary "10/10 GOTY" or "0/10 pure garbage" mindset, rather than being able to dissect the good AND bad points of a game.
>>732264226Schizos believe that because so many people like Moist and even Asmongold came out with full playthroughs of the game and called it goty means they were paid to do. Even though Asmon never finishes game he is paid to play
>>732258793Really, this is more of a case that they shouldn't have won the Indie awards specifically, and there needs to be refinement on what counts as Indie level games because this isn't the only case of this in recent years.
>>732264370>>732264406I mean, yeah, I shilled it a little myself, and it's cause I wanted to discuss what the game would be like. I'd say 90% of it was organic, but lots of devs advertise here, too, though. Not saying it's a bad thing, just that it probably happened a little.
>>732257835FPBP
>>732264567The only 2 kinds of games that actually get shilled on /v/ are massive AAA Ubisoft games or tiny indie games where the devs themselves shill. That's basically it.
>>732264213 lmao imagine being this mad over people liking a game with turn-based combat and actual atmosphere. Sorry your ADHD can’t handle menus and reading, go back to your Marvel quipfests and auto-combat slop, runt.
e33 is journoslop just like hollow knight wasmid games that get astronomically wanked just so they can pretend the gaming industry isn't stale af
>Daily DMCshit threads for over a year that were just thinly veiled eceleb talk and fujoposts>...>Hourly Smash speculation shit for 4 years>...>Daily E33 threads that actually talk about the game>NOOOOOOOOOOOO, ASTROTURFED, SHILL, SHILL, SHILL!!!!!
>>732264698Everyone uses "shill" to just mean "telling you about a good game I like"
>it's literally over for gamingit's over because we were gifted unfiltered kino? this is a whole new level of faggotry
>>732264846Clearly AI animations
>>732264698It's not like I can say for certain that there was or wasn't any viral marketing, but if I was making a game like Clair Obscur, I'd be posting about it here and other places to get eyes on it. Ruling it out would be foolish.In any case, I'm on your side. I'm a fan of the game.
>>732264752>wanked>mid>af
>>732264907I don’t believe in viral marketing of AA games. Every time when AAA shills via ecelebs or sends pajeet to shill on 4chan/reddit it’s so blatant you can’t mistake it>Im having a blast
>>732257835fippy bippy
>>732257835FPWPParis is literally an Algerian colony right now/thread
>>732265110Fair enough, anon.
>>732265227>/threading your own postkys
>>732261101It's jrpg inspired, so they didnt even need that one
>>732262043A common mistake desu.
>>732257782A Highguard thread died for this
>>732257782i think with this and dispatch 2025 made me realize that there's entire generations that haven't played good games in their respective genres, like i did literally see zoomies think e33 was a new genree33 is probably great if you haven't played the older final fantasy'sdispatch is probably great if you haven't played telltale games
>>732257782Literally the only thing bad about E33 is the ugly UE5slop graphics.
>Verso gets Simon’s weapon>Lune gets Clea’s weaponDevs mentioned that they had to trim character stories to fit story playtime to 30 hours. They definitely wanted there to be more romance between Verso and Lune
OP is a unironic shill. Trying to get negative attention for his fotm game. But what's the point? Tell your boss they should have added more hot bitches so autismos can have internet arguments and shoot ropes to them. Like Tifa and Aeris
>>732265610E33 is pretty good, and I've been playing JRPGs for almost 3 decades. It didn't do anything new, but it was a solid JRPG that took itself seriously. Borrowed from Persona 5, Lost Odyssey, Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy X, and Paper Mario and mixed it all into pretty package with great music and a decent story.
>>732257782e33 is such a shit game for real
>>732258351>Takes its plot in earnest>No '...win?' tier Marvel quips>Straight white males are the good guys>Underlying message is pro-familyIsn't it the opposite of Millenial writing?
>>732262519>what's so bad about adding a 3rd nigga?Gives tendies PTSD.
>>732264202>It's most noticeable in any stealth /an/ thread.Sad times, /an/ was one of the few boards that still felt like old 4chan. At least 8/v/ is finally getting more traffic.
>>732265780In the title theme of the game, lyrics are:>Verso dans la nuit, Lune près de luiwhich translates to>Verso in the dark, Lune by his sideso that's canon
>>732265947lets check, i will post the opposite of what you said and we will see which feels more millennial.>Plot not taken seriously or is a throwaway>plenty of "...win?" tier marvel quips>Straight whyte males are the bad guys, or incompetent sidekicks, non-white leads are the heroes>underlying message is fuck family and traditions, do it for YOU GURL
>>732258145>The Jews are psyopping us into valuing our own families and being more suspicious of outside groupsUnironically, why would they do this?
>>732264765E33 without bait is just coom threads. No gameplay nor much story is talked. Only fat incels telling each other how they want to fuck some mid to ugly character models.
>>732266224how does this affect you personally?
>>732265849>fotm gameAnon it's been out for nearly a full year>>732264907I'm not trying to pick on you specifically, it's just a good post to jump off of, but literally any game that is mildly popular is accused of being "astroturfed" or "shilled" among communities of contrarian, asocial weirdos who have been trying to recreate the TORtanic high for the past decade and who don't actually play video games. It is genuinely sad to me to see people who feel compelled to defend things they like from these things when they literally don't matter.Also just incidentally(and I recognize this will not be convincing to most people who scream about this daily) anyone who wanted to stealthily advertise a product would not do it on this website of autistic racists who pirate most of their media anyway when they could do it on literally any other social media website, all of which get substantially more traffic and have larger, less hostile, and more diverse userbases who actually buy things occasionally.
>>732266224I think you're confusing E33 with Botw/Splatoon/Metroid ect threads.
>>732266367>Anon it's been out for nearly a full yearFOTY
>>732266224>seething tendie lying on the internet againthis game story was literally discussed for months here
>>732266567>yall
>>732265918E33 is the game of the millennium. Thus far.
>>732266567Maybe the animators aren't big fans of chasing minors in real life so it looks a little goofy here.
>>732266367How dare you pick on me specifically, anon.Also, I don't care that much about any of this. I beat EX33 within a couple weeks of release and haven't touched it since. It's just that I can't sleep, and this is an engaging waste of time.Also, when I talk about viral marketing I don't necessarily mean paid shills. I'm including devs self promoting among other things.
>>732265849>Trying to get negative attention for his fotm gameWhat game? He's doing a ptetty shit job since he didn't even mention it.
>>732257782my real question is why did they make Sciel's ass significantly bigger than other girls?
>>732267727Had to give her something to make her competitive with Lune and Maelle.
>>732267727Lune her bigger tits so they had to give Sciel bigger ass
>>732258145This. Nobody ever discusses gameplay. It’s just pedophiles and footfags exchanging fanart
>>732263909Why does this random tweet live rent free in the heads of E33fags?
>>732264846this cutscene, battle transition and music might be the most kino moment i've seen in gaming
>>732268271Real renoir's fight is better.
>>732266798trvke
>>732268310that one is 2nd for me, but it's close
>>732268271Start of The Paintress phase 2 is better.
>>732257782moot point because plenty of games with millions of $$$ behind their backs failed epically.
>>732257835funny how true this isninjeets just can't handle that a studio comprised of mostly white men won goty over their poobislop garbage
>>732268425nah, not even closethe music really makes the painted 2nd renoir cutscene/fight
>>732258181>t. ninjeet using aislop
>>732267872The only time I’ve seen gameplay getting discussed on /v/ to show off how shitty gameplay of Elden Ring is
>>732268310It's too easyAnd also they start some kino as fuck music and end it 5 seconds later:https://youtu.be/43-sI_B_2vU?t=829
>>732268648It's not about difficulty, it's about cutscene transition, and it has BY FAR the best music timing in the game.
>>732266567Zoomers can't meme
>they're still madbeautiful
>>732268648yeah, the painting summon was a bit weirdthey should've made it part of the previous cutscene or have him do it a bit later and get buffs/heals2nd painted renoir fight though is perfect imo
>>732268918Yeah. Even the afterfight cutscene. So fucking good. Serkis deserved the award 100 times more than Shadow Heart.https://youtu.be/mGxbJuBWXb8?t=33
>>732269079>Serkis deserved the award 100 times more than Shadow Heartyeah, probablybut shadowsharts performance was great too desu so i don't really mind
>>732257835kek tru.dat
>>732257909I'm literally playing it right now. I just got to the monolith and I'm about to fight the paintress.Nothing really happened in this game. Just some "muh family" shit Also anyone that decided to add dodging and parrying to a turn based game should be taken out back and put down The story is just okay. The combat could be better. I really don't understand how people can say this is the best game of all timeMaybe it's just a zoomer thing, but it really does just feel like a niche RPG from the PS2 days.Nothing wrong with that, but this isn't the savior people think it is
>>732269974>literal repost
>fr*nch game>dare to call it a jrpgI'm not missing out by avoiding this trash.
>>732266567>E33 haters are wokeniggersAs expected.
>>732270018Did I post it twice. Oops. I'm phone posting at 8am, ignore my rant
>>732269079Ben Star, Serkis and Shart were all great. I don’t know whom I like more between those three
>>732263532Do you not realize that Indians are getting online at an exponential rate?
>>732270109jrpg is a genre you retard, non-japs can make them
>>732257782Not true. It didn't work for Highguard. Fuck E33 though.
>>732270109The reason it isn't a jrpg is because it has twitch reflex shit instead of just menu combat.
>>732270664There are a lot of JRPGs with “twitch reflex shit”
>>732257782OP is the same as picrel
