>E33 is a small indie game that just came out from nowhere and got all this overwhelming praise and awards for no reason bro! It just proves that ANYONE can make their indie masterpiece if they want to!
>one redditor claims shit>deletes his account and vanishes>almost a year later and literally nobody could find any kind of proof of his claimsyou're desperate
>>732479508It's quite flabbergasting just how much seethe this game causes.
>>732479508Did you make this thread to feel better about how you're an unsuccessful failure?
>>732479812that redditor was also based in India kek
The difference is that nepotism is only disparaged when merit isn't backing it up.You can seethe at his extra start, but it contributed to real worth.
Yeah always knew this faggot tranny shit was massively astroturfed
>>732479812I know numbers are complicated, you can play with balls instead. Doubt you'll have the needed cognitive capacity to tie a knot and do it yourself. Sad!
I just want good games and I don't care how they are made
>>732480178Are you going to pretend E33fags aren't calling it the best JRPG ever daily nowObviously if you glaze a 6/10 that much you will get pushback
this game gave third worlders existential crisis.it's been almost of year and they're still fuming.the fact they cannot relate to the game simply because of who they are has destroyed their mind, literally
>>732480552This. You're talking about a man who made a JRPG that revolves around the "click button when light flashes" mechanic have some respect
>>732480885What the fuck are you even talking about

>>732479812>>732479508you dont even need any shizo ramble, just look at the voice actors.you think Disney actors just randomly work on a european "indie" video game for free?
>>732481050because AI never has and never will make good games
>>732481107the game had a publisher retardpublisher gives moneyvoice actor accepts and workwow
>>732479508How many years will people be butthurt about E33?
>>732479508fr
>>732480928That is the worst example of anti-woke brainwashing I've seen.He really thinks people need characters with their same skin colour to be able to relate. He most likely has no original thought in his head, only what other people say.
>>732479508STOP NOTICING
>>732481140if your publisher can pay for Ben Starr, Charlie Cox, Jennifer English and fucking Andy Serkis, then your game is not Indie, simple as
>>732481015lol tranny
>>732479508>Source: My Risperidone withdrawal symptoms.
Who are you quoting?
>>732481258The game was never marketed as indie. it was always AA. The studio is independent as they are not owned by anyone. How you can't understand such simple words is baffling to me.Also:>Charlie Cox>Andy SerkisCox recorded his lines in 3 hours. Serkis has even less lines.Do you think it would cost 1M dollar or something retard? If so provide numbers.>Jennifer English >Ben StarrBog standard VA who worked one (1) game before. It's literally fucking nothing.
>>732479508its just an “indie” developer brooo with a movie deal, orchestral band tours and some of the most well known voice actors in the industry.
I don't give a fuck whether it's indie or had a $400M budgetIt's a great game
OK dont care who or who's money is making good games.For me seems like father had good iinvestment on sons game making hobby

First time it's happening to you, zoomoid?
>>732479508Holy schizo. I'm looking forward for when they conjure up an Epstein connection.
>>732481929Uh oh, shills trying to get ahead of the curve and already trying to discredit it? I guess there's something to be found

>>732482002The language also changed, dumbass. We didn't invent words like cuck but we sure started using them a lot at one point. I know it's shocking when it's happening to you for the first time but you'll get used to it. You're not young anymore and your language isn't the hip language anymore, just cope with that
>>732482145I will never ever use niggerbabble, how about you just cope with that?
>>732482119you clearly do. You've been going insane all thread. Im scared what you have in your folders to spam when people make fun of you too much. You seem unstable
>>732479812Some people really can't accept that E33 was a good game that people enjoyed.
>>732482326It's just that most people here don't consider normalfags to be people. And in a way, they're right. Normalfags' taste in games isn't really relevant, and E33 is literally proof of that.
M E D S
>>732479812It's true that the director is from a rich family. Maybe not 10M dollar rich he is definitely from french traditional bourgeoisie.He went to a renowned private catholic school.
>>732482423>It's just that most people here don't consider normalfags to be people. And in a way, they're right. Normalfags' taste in games isn't really relevant, and E33 is literally proof of that.Normalfags tastes in game is extremely relevant what the fuck are you talking about? Normalfags literally shape up the industry for years.Do you really think we would have had the 1997-2007 era of jarpigs if not for FF7 mainstream success?
I really hope their second game is even better. Shills will commit suicide
>>732481258This musical walk and talk slop has Lena Headey (Game of Thrones Cersei) and Mark Strong voicing it. Literally AAA hollywood actors. So by your retarded metric, this game isn't indie? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1122680/The_Artful_Escape/
>>732481381Ben Starr is world renowned voice actor. He starred in GOTY Expedition 33
>>732482237I just got here specifically to call you a retarded faggot, I'm not wasting time reading your schitzo faggotry
>>732482423> It's just that most people here don't consider normalfags to be peopleMost “people” here don’t qualify to be considered people themselves
>>732482664Oh that's going to happen sooner than their next game.Look up the news.For creating E33 and through it making a marked contribution to French cultural heritage and its influence around the world, the entire Sandfall Interactive studio was knighted.THEY - WERE - KNIGHTED.
>>732483101Nah that just brings crying about masons. Making good games drives them insane
>tfw it might be years before another game buck breaks /v/ this hardFeels bad man
>Trannies at some random award show get booty blasted about this game>Constant seethingI liked the game, it is better than 99% of "AAA" games out there. Mentally ill faggots that make the typical indie game got a reality check with this and fear they wont be able to shovel their garbage sanfran games because E33 raised the bar.
>>732483406I don't think I've ever a game break /v/ this hard since TORtanic. Maybe MGSV or DS2 but the breakdown died pretty quick.

>>732487435>the jubilation for Elden Ring is real and Expedition 33 isn’t because.. BECAUSE I SAID SO OKAYJust accept the fact that a game got released and people enjoy it holy fuck
>>732487435Compared to ER, everybody knew E33 was going to win everything from the start because it was 3 times better than the concurrence. So it was prone to have schizos like you derail the threads during TGA.Also even if 2021 nu/v/ was shit, 2026 is 2 times worse with all zoomoids like you that can in because of the screecaping engagement.In the end, Elden Ring was shit.

>>732488162wtf im a UE5 womanslop footsoldier now
conspiracy shit aside E33 is probably the fakest Witcher 3 ever put up on a pedestal by western journos in living memory, was funny to see places that scored the game a 7 or an 8 also crown it GOTY after the money came in
>>732488146me neither, french people are a joke. I'm just laughing at bozos that screenshot their grok conversations as if it means anything
>>732488213No they never said it was indie.
>>732480896The battle gameplay is finely optimized Paper Mario, which is good, since that system is accessible enough to let anyone play the game in the manner they prefer.>>732480842niggas in a line hasn't been this much fun since the FF4-FFX era. Sure this game's mechanics and story beats have been done before, but not with this level of polished sound and spectacle.>>732485149the DLC seems to imply otherwise. :P
>Nintendo Partner Direct didn't announce E33>Tendies shitting and pissing all over 4chin
>>732488278actual french people are fine, it's the terrorist propagandist traitor pedophile class that thinks it can do anything it wants that is the problem
someone post the "indie at heart" articleThis is one of very few cases where I've hated a dev studio as much as a publisher. They deserve none of the french billionaire or chink money that was poured into them, would especially like to see the director hung from a tree after being raped for being a performative turd of a human being
>>732488441>indie at heartAnd what is wrong with this sentence, faggot-kun?They recognize their game is not inde (you should be happy) but that they still benefit from the creative freedom indie have because Kepler doesn't interfere in creative process, essentially because they are a merge of multiple indie studios.
>>732479508>2.7 millionsSure the guy is a nepo baby, but making a GOTY with 2.7 mill is a next level ROI
>>732488571>They recognize their game is not indeYeah after pocketing a bunch of indie game awards kek They should rape and hang you too
>>732488589>making a GOTY with 2.7 millTheir out of pocket was at least 10 million dollars actually, rest is an unclear amount covered by their publisher including the hollywood actors
>>732488589It's actually 10M total budget.2.7M was most likely for the first 3 years of development. The publisher came in the last 2 years of game dev.But yeah if you estimate ROI, after stores cuts, publisher cuts, french taxes and everything, they most likely made something like 60M NET profit.And this is just from the game sales itself. E33 music was the most played video game music (and even classical) on streaming services during 2025. I bet the made a whole lot of money from this alone.
>>73248877110 million is before the publisher
>>732488821No. 10M is the total budget for 6 years of development. It includes private funding and publisher deal.
>>732488919Nope, none of the things the publisher spent money one was factored into the 10 million dollars. Source is the actual article the 10 million number first came from
>>732480178Don't like the French. Don't like games that present themselves as having a bunch of variety and mechanics but then make one way more overtuned than the rest (just parrying nonstop).
>>732489010Marketing expenses are never part of development budget.Voice acting is part of marketing expenses.The original source it the NYT.The 10M is the total development budget of the game. The other budget (marketing, voice acting, distribution) is unknown but developers never include any of this when they reveal their development budget.>t. work in AA
>>732489170>Voice acting is part of marketing expenses>The other budget (marketing, voice acting, distribution)Good job contradicting yourself within 2 lines of your lie
>>732489228Yeah I meant publisher budget, typo.
>>732485149they're freemasons, retard
The only reason this is even an argument is because the dumbfuck known as Geoff decided to list it as an indie in TGAs. Nobody would even pretend it's an indie otherwise.
>>732480552What rubs people the wrong way is the narrative that E33 was made by a "small indie studio" with the sheer power of determination and friendship when in reality it's a AA game that outsourced to jeets and the CEO is not a "humble Ubisoft ex-dev" but a guy with connections and financial backing. I liked E33, it's a refreshing game oozing with passion but considering it an indie project and giving it awards in the indie categories is ridiculous. There was nothing wrong with going with the AA game with smaller scope and budget angle so I have no idea why they tried to pass E33 as an indie game by an indie studio.
>>732481258Ever actually hear an interview with live action actors about how they were cast? Their agent rings them up and says "yeah there's this video game looking for a good actor, you'll be in and out in a day, it's easy money." Actors don't cost much for things like that. Also notice how it's always actors like Cox and Serkis who are either supporting actors or minor leads, and not actual A-list stars
>>732482423Man you’re such a nigger hahahahaha
>>732489048>one way more overtuned than the rest (just parrying nonstopThat is only if you choose to play like that, anon. You may customize your characters in a myriad of fashions to play however offensively or defensively as you prefer.>Shieldmaxxing-builds>Passive-Burn-builds>Damage-tanking-builds>Auto-Healing-buildsthere are so many other ways to progress through the story outside of >Glass-Cannon-Parry-or-Die-buildsHaving all those options, aka accessibility, and trying new things appropriate for the situational context is what makes experiencing this game kino.now if what you are suggesting is that parrying alone trivializes the game, you have to still spend much of the campaign learning all the variety of enemy attacks and "getting good".The only fights that absolutely force you to be parry-god are late-game optional content like Clea & Simon fights and DLC-superbosses, which are intentionally designed to be as punishing as possible.
>>732479508>It just proves that ANYONE can make their indie masterpiece if they want to!Actually yes, like everything else in life.If you have enough money
>>732489653>AA game that outsourced to jeetsEverytime you post this I post the full game credits and yet you never answer with the list of these so called jeets.Unless you consider poles and gooks to be jeets. They you are retarded.
>>732488146Please.Do.Not.S e e t h e
>>732480816Based and same.
>>732489904you also need a vision, focus, and a love for what you are doing, aka SOVL. money enabled these french weebs to make a good game, yes, but it was still their own passion project at the end of the day.
I dont hate E33, but its extremely mediocre and the third act was rushed and the story fell apart. It did absolutely nothing revolutionary in the turn based combat, much better games did everything it attempted years ago.
>>732490081Not really, you just need to hire the right people. Hell you can even hire someone to do it.
>>732490029why would i seethe? i havent poured years of my life into making yet another dull uninspired astroturfed woke womanslop that is already forgotten because it's so obviously boring and shit despite winning all le epic games journalisms kek
>>732489805It's true you can finish the game without parrying but failing the QTEs and eating damage feels terrible, plus it prevents you from taking on some of the stronger unique enemies you encounter along the way which are very rewarding to beat and give the best gear to build your team
>>732490273Hiring competent people will never work if you don't have a strong vision.
>>732490312yet you've poured a year of your life making these nigger threads
>>732490378You know that you can hire a director too right? That's actually a job
>>732490432genuine white hot seethe in this post KEKK
>>732490456there sould not be someone above the director or else your game will be shitit worked for e33 because the director owns his company, his has the vision and is the last one to decide in the end if the vision is respected or not.
>>732490556What are your top 3 favourite games of all time?
Uh oh Rajesh stinky melty
>>732490619suidoken 2, smt v, ss2

>>732490681suikoden 2* and actually I'll replace ss2 with kotor
I had a lot of fun playing the game.
>>732490681All of them with someone above the director
>>732490325See, that's a missed opportunity, eating damage doesn't feel so bad when you can incorporate it into your strategy.>tank it with defensive and healing buildsRecovery, Confident skills, Maelle's Egide and Defensive Stance, etc.>use the damage to unlock more offenceAt Death's Door, Critical Moment, SOS skills, etc.The game gives you a lot of flexibility to play the RPG you want to play.
>>732490818we're talking 2026 here it's not comparable at allceo of konami in 1998 had more passion the the average game dev now
>>732489805I only played about a third of E33, but it always felt like parries shat out more damage than anything I did during my own turns. That's what I meant. Maybe that stops being the case later on but it made the actual choices feel less meaningful than pure timing.
>>732479508Not on a scale of E33, but minecraft, stardew valley and factorio exist to prove that if your game is good - you'll become rich
>>732491007I see what you mean.Act 1 was half survival horror, getting you to invest defensively to simply not die, and teaching you to synergize your characters together.>Lune burns the enemy so Maelle can enter Virtuous Stance>Sciel or Gustave marks the enemy to increase damage on it>Maelle Virtuous Stance low-cost Percee with Mark does maximum 9999 wombo-comboAct 2 onwards is where the pictos and luminas really open up to allow for more degenerate builds to maximize Sciel's and Lune's multiple-hit attacks.Act-3 onwards is just Disgaea-levels of busted offence.

>>732480178>NO, don't ask questions why a completely mediocre game is praised as the game of the century by every shill on the planet! It is not overrated and overhyped beyond any reasonable measure!Fuck off, shillbot.
>>732494650doesnt these peoples brain tell them something when they start lecturing people about a game they didnt playit is weird
>>732479508The game is clearly an industry plant with millions in corporate capital as backing. The egregious shill campaign with hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of bots was easily the worst in video game history. There is literally no other explanation how trash like this could even be praised for its braindead gameplay or uninspired art direction.
>>732495067>>732494650lmao. the change of tactic again. fuck off schizo retard. the game sold millions and was awarded GOTY everywhere and you will never be able to take that away
>>732494731I'm sure a lot of people were actually disgusted by the obvious botting campaign. It was completely inorganic and potentially the worst shilling we have ever seen in vidya history.
>>732495273oh and this counts for bg3 as well btw. you are arguing against the tide coming in. loser.
>>732479508its a good game why do we need conspiracy theories about its creation who gives a shit how it was made?
>>732495273Cope and seethe, Netease Chinkbot.
>>732479508I do think it's absurd that E33 fanboys pretend like there wasn't a huge shill campaign for the game up to a year before it came out. Everyone's minds were already made up about the game by the time it was released. The entire narrative was already in place.It's so inorganic.
>>732495427and now here comes the china stuff. schizo moron with literally nothing to do than this.

>>732481258Who the fuck are any of these people.
>>732494650This game is so ugly. The literally just stuffed the levels full of every random asset that they could find in the asset store. We are completely screwed, if vidya follows this example.
>>732495745You mean the night reign threads or the constant debates about the open world in ER? Even pvp autists just went back to /vg/ because nobody around here bothers anymore.
>>732495729>has been explained to you 300+ times by now.At this point I assume both of these posters are bots"im sure to win the argument by telling this guy I told himn 301 times already in the next thread"

>>732496192And I'm done talking to a faggot that's talking past me. ER threads will continue to flourish long after this game has disappeared, and not the shitty cash grab nigger rain. This is why no one cares about this game

>>732479508My favorite part of this entire schizo babble is a misunderstanding his internship as "Assistant Creative Director"He was an assistant *to* the Creative Director, meaning he was a bitch boy. The misunderstanding comes from viewing his LinkedIn profile in auto-translated English
>>732495987>Pick out one Unreal store modelHow about dozens? >>732495067
If they had all that money they wouldn't have started out making the game with no pay while working their regular jobs. He also wouldn't have a worse looking setup than me. This shit is fake.
>the game is bad because..... it used plugins!brownoids thinking this is a gotcha! will never not be funny
>>732497304Find me an asset that they used to fill the world with, like you claimed.
>>732480928The theme of there being a giant doomclock showing you the day you'll die is a mystery to you, because you would just look at that thing and go "What the fuck are you even talking about, I'm alive right now, what's the problem?".
>>732497304lol do you just hope people click out of the video before the mantling evidence? that's the only damning ("damning") one, the rest are enormous stretches
>>732495067I wonder if vidya developers will start downsizing their art teams and instead just use assets from the Unreal engine asset store. I mean, Jeet 33 won best art direction by simply flipping UE5 art and model asset packs, so nobody can say that these assets are not GOTY worthy anymore.
>>732497956>bumps own thread after 10 minutes of no posting.
I am currently playing Artroturfed 33I like the setting, the music ( the only truly great thing) and the battle is fine, but Its far from innovative, there's that endorphin pump, but its far from innovative.Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi did this ages ago.
>>732497956Even AAA studios use some premade assets.
>>732497304Have you seen the latest update? They just took some lollipop assets from the UE store and copy pasted it everywhere. In this webm, they just blew them up to a massive size.Art direction of the year, everyone. lmfao
>>732497956anon... developers have been reusing assets and code since the 70s. it's in fact the foundation of what we call "engines"the only thing new ("new" meaning the past 15 years) is that new studios can now purchase them with less restrictive licensing, and without needing to build it from the ground up new
>>732497956even mario 64 used store assets, nigger
>>732498146>They just took some lollipop assets from the UE storepost the asset link?
>>732494650what the fuck is this? Jesus christ is this worth implementing over winning at goty award?
>>732498332Can you post the same thing, in english this time?
>>732498260Search for it yourself. Nobody is autistic enough to make a comprehensive list of every UE5 store asset in the game. >>732495067
>>732498146>the free shitposting update doesn't have fully original assets?>Aaaah! I'm going insane!God, you're pathetic.
>>732480178Weebs were insisting it'd be forgotten by the end of the year, but it clearly lives rent free in their heads.
>>732498460>claim simple fact>can't prove simple factnigger lol
>>732481140>>732481258Before they had a publisher they self-funded through "business angels" (the investment companies who wouldn't look twice at anyone else) and "relatives" (... the owners of the investment companies).Then they sign all those voice actors, full mocap, orchestra.. the game was built and funded to be a blockbuster before it released. It's not a path anyone else could emulate without step 1: be rich or have rich parentsStill a cool game though.
>>732495067Anon everyone in this this thread already knows that the game is filled with stuff that is taken from the other games such as the UI the rank system and the mario paper combat for example.
>>732498805Even indie games like Hollow Knight had fucking private funding retard.What's more import is how much they invested.>voice actorsAfter they got the publisher>full mocapFucking xsens suits and iphones, LMAO>orchestraOnly 8 tracks out of 154 were recorded by an orchestra, and it was a small local one.*Also it was after they got the publisher
>>732498146>>732494650This game looks truly awful. All I see swirly and floaty shit with abstract proportions. Was it designed by AI or something?
>>732499159>Even indie games like Hollow Knight had fucking private funding retard.Anon we dont know exactly how much money indie fund gave to them the only thing we know is that hollow knight got 57,138 from the backers.
ok but where was this information before the game even came out so people could call it out and make all the awards look even more sus.>>732480639The tell for me was when they sold the rights to Hollywood before the game even came out. Who the fuck does that and act like they're nobody indie diev.Every entity surrounding the dev is leftist. The Ubisoft connections should be a give away. Grifted subversion, paraded as muh indie dev and glazed by leftist award ceremonies.
>>732481228Actually it was leftists who complained the main cast isn't diverse enough. Nice try 'berg.
>>732501071>The tell for me was when they sold the rights to Hollywood before the game even came out. Who the fuck does that and act like they're nobody indie diev.That's what their publisher does, unless Shifu is now magically a high profile game and not an indie.
>>732501071>The tell for me was when they sold the rights to Hollywood before the game even came out. Who the fuck does that and act like they're nobody indie diev.Everybody does that. It's called Studio Kitchen and they've scammed indie games to sell their IP for cinema for years before it's out.https://www.story-kitchen.com/projectsGame studios get more money to make the game this way even if it means gaining less if it's a hit and the movie is actually made after that.
>>732498332It's SOUL, you wouldn't get it.
E33 is an industry plant and a fake indie product with a $10M+ budgetIt's also still a great game
>>732490968>It doesn't countOk then
>>732501071>glazedevery fucking time kek
Just beat 3 baba levels in 40 minutesmaybe iagmi
>>732479508It's strange you never see threads about the actual game itself. No one talks about bosses or strategies or characters or anything. I have never seen anyone talk about the game itself. You'd think if it was anything other than astroturfed AI slop you would see such threads. Did anyone actually play this or is it just me? I found it so boring and devoid of creativity I installed shortly after arriving on the island. Seemed like it's a Korean jrpg or something. Not much there.
>>732501668
>>732503019We have those threads all the time but then /v/tards come in and shit the thread up with their canned responses. If anything is astroturfed it’s the hate for this game.
>>732503019The game was discussed for months non stop. you had to be here. Also there are currently 2 other threads right now discussing it.Also obligatory:>is it just me>>>/r/eddit
>>732503019>I installed shortly after arriving on the island.what island?if you actually played the game you'd know you actually leave an island to reach a continent.
>>732501368But when are we getting more kino industry plant games?
It's incredible how this game mindbroke all the trannies and brownoids in this board.
>>732503019Bots create dozens of random threads daily and bump them with one-line comments. They never actually talk about games, because that would be contra productive.
>>732479508Yeah but it's not his fault, it's (You)r fault for being so numb you can't see it's an ugly as fuck game
>>732504446TAKE ME BACK
>>732479508>he's so angry about the game being good he's digging through the CEO's personal life to try and find an angle to make you hate the gameHoly desperation Batman.
>>732479508So are anons discovering privilege completely independent of when everyone else was talking about it years ago? Like watching an isolated tribe independently reinvent something we all take for granted.
>deleted his schizo post out of shame>made a new thread about ithon hon hon
The absolute irony that the developers put in a "New Game+" option:>"This process is irreversible. Your save will be erased to start a new game.">"Are you sure you want to continue?"Now the game gives you the ultimate meta decision to restart the game and play it again fresh.It is the ultimate "ludonarrative resonance," isn't it?It’s bold, frustrating, and conceptually brilliant. By forcing you to erase your save file to start New Game+, the developers are making you—the player—act out the role of The Paintress.You are literally wiping the canvas clean to start a new cycle.Here is why that specific mechanic is being hailed as a masterstroke of meta-storytelling (even if it gives completionists a heart attack):1. The Mechanic is "Gommage" (Erasure)Throughout the game, the terrifying concept is "Gommage"—the idea that people and histories are just painted over or erased. * The characters in Expedition 33 fight desperately to avoid being erased. * But to play NG+, you have to voluntarily commit Gommage on them. You have to look at your Level 99 Sciel, your maxed-out skill trees, and your completed journal, and decide: "I am going to unmake you." * The warning text "This process is irreversible" mirrors the finality of the monolithic death count. Once the number is painted, it’s done.2. It Recontextualizes the "Maelle vs. Verso" ChoiceSince you know the game has two endings, this mechanic makes the choice even heavier. * If you chose the Maelle Ending (Saving the Canvas/Illusion): You fought to keep that world alive. Starting NG+ means you are now personally destroying the very world you just saved. You are undoing your own victory. * If you chose the Verso Ending (Accepting Reality/Destroying the Canvas): Starting NG+ feels like a cruel relapse. You accepted the end, but now you are "painting" the illusion all over again for your own entertainment.
>>732504896Nier: Automata did it first
>>732505068Why are you replying to an obvious ai chatbot post?
>>732503464wow this is true and no one ever talks about it lol
>>732503019everything that could be was already discussed to death.Although you can still find absolute morons who don't understand1. Verso motivation2. Maelle motivation3. Alicia's actual problem4. Alicia relationship with her remaining familyA year of getting explain and they still don't fucking get it
>>7325050683. The Nier: Automata ComparisonEveryone is drawing the comparison to Nier: Automata’s Ending E, but there is a distinct difference in tone:Nier asks you to delete your save as an act of altruism (to help others). It is hopeful.Expedition 33 asks you to delete your save as an act of cycling. It is tragic. It reinforces the idea that the "Canvas" (the game world) is disposable and temporary.
>>732505163>le pink grass>le swirly rocks>le underwater level but its notOh wow, how utterly unimpressive.
>>732504446/v/ would be a better board if the catalog always looked like that
I can't tell if E33 was astroturfed as fuck or if JRPGfags were so starved of a decent game that they overrated the fuck out of the first bone thrown to them in years.
>>732505532This was actually a month after release. Before this, the catalog had 90% of concurrent E33 threads.
>>732505614>or if JRPGfags were so starved of a decent gamecan you remember last good JRPG?
>>732479508I like E33, but I do think giving so many awards including "indie game" brought a lot of deserving scrutiny on its humble origins.
>>732505614I'd lean more toward the second. The same thing happened with dragon age origin. The only really difference is that instead of the genre being completely dead in the case of dragon age, the jrpg genre has been extremely stagnant in the past decade. It's a few well known franchises that mostly stick to their formula and tries to completely move away from it in case of final fantasy, or somewhat lesser known outliers whose innovations are more like polishing already known systems.
>>732504446Friendly reminder that Silksong only ever had 1 or 2 threads and easily outsold Jeet 33.Is Jeet 33 the most botted game in history? It would seem that way, yes.
>>732505868>reddit spacer thinks saying jeet will make him fit inIts a well understood fact browns can't appreciate E33.
>>732505868Silksong was a lot cheaper and was a sequel that was shilled to death for 9 years.
>>732481057You sound pathetic. Go (try to) get some pussy faggot.
