>AAA games can cost €50 and be a huge succes
>indie games can cost €20 and be a huge succes
Why do games need to cost €80 again?
>>
>>720717120
Expedition 33 and Silksong didn't have 10 gorillian pajeets on staff making bad code and unoptimized art so the production costs were lower

This and also not having americans work on your game also massively reduces costs

Silksong.
It actually makes E33 look like the mediocre game it is with its better gameplay.

E33's setting is a Painted world where anything can be made real.

>>720717281
Who cares? Both are good and both are good for the industry. Small teams can make great games and charge a good price for them. Even smaller indie teams can make great games and charge a good price for them. E33 and Silksong ideally would be a wake up call to the AAA behemoths that you don't need hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of devs to make good games that sell well.
>>

Bookies say it's E33
>>
>>720717120
would you be fine with AAA games just using asset store assets and paying €50 for them?
>>
>>720717643
E33 makes more sense. Silksong is very much a DLC turned into a stand alone release.

E33 because it's movie game
So called critics would rather not have to play games
>>
>>720718091
It's not a movie game at all. There is a lot more gameplay than cutscenes unlike games like tlou or god of war
>>
>>720717120
silksong's 20 dollar pricepoint reflects on the quality on the game
>no cutscenes, no story, barebones npc interactions
>voice acting is meme tier, repeated lines, acting so bad on the mc its better to turn them off completely
>lack of metaprogression in a metroid, copypasted level design with different colors in each biome, non rewarding
>annoying inventory slotting system where the only good things are blue and you only have 2 slots
>padded out quests and other mundane shit required to actually finish the game in act 3
>terrible fast travel system made to waste time
>cut content
>combat is extremely barebones and made difficult only via contact damage. they couldnt design proper moves for 90% of the enemies. staggering an enemy usually means receiving damage
if you want something proper at $20, see prince of persia the lost crown. i'll go ahead and call it an indie because such games get limited amount of budget too, and it turned out to be the literal #1 metroid in the history.

Do nintardogs really think people are retarded enough to fall for such obvious falseflagging, much less start a flamewar over ir?

Because Nintendo said so.

>>720718280
Gameplay = press button to parry then wait until you decide which button to press to continue combat. Repeat until a cutscene happens, then walk on a glorified hallway and start it over.
Movie game.

>>720718709
My normalfag friend literally got filtered and dropped E33, saying that there is too much exploration and gameplay before cutscenes and hecking story progression. He didn't even finish Act 1
>>
>>720718869
and?
>>
>>720718950
And he finished The Last of Us 2, a true movie game. If E33 were a movie game, he would have finished it and not dropped it.
>>
>>720717120
don't compare slop33 to silksong please
>>
>>720717281
E33. Silksong filters casual players let alone journalists and whatever judges they picked who will no doubt take one look at the graphics of each before giving E33 the trophy.
>>
>>720717281
Hopefully 33 because GOTY awards are for normies
>>
>>720718793
It's a unity game, it's probably trivial to alter the text or just photoshop it
>>
>>720719078
HK is the normiest metroidvania ever made, since it sold way more than any other game of this genre. And so is SS.

Cool it with these anti-semitic questions, goy.

>>720718995
TLOU had the most complex mechanics for even taking out a gun and reloading and shit, it's not a movie game. it's more akin to an immersive sim but to call something like that a moviegame is crazy

>>720719025
devs of the game you’re saying is incomparable like the slop though? what now? should you start hating silksong too? >>720718487

did you expect anything else from a silksonger?
they played 2 games in their lives: HK and SS
they physically can't know what something good can be, they can't even acknowledge what's good or bad in their games
>>
>>720717120
*AA
>>
>>720718741
They obviously used environmental packs for some clutter/rocks/props etc. because they had only three 3D artists working on bespoke access and wouldn't have the time to make every generic prop.
This is the exact usecase for generic assets, letting small teams punch above in scope, and if it's integrated well and the artstyle is consistent there's no problem.

2D games arent worth more than $20, threads retarded thats like saying mobile phone games are free so why pay $20 for a game
>>
>>720717781
this line of thought is exactly why we don't have lengthy rpgs with good story anymore
>nooo you can't reuse assets
this is the essence of turn based rpgs, you do it that way so that you can make good stories and bosses
no one cares if it's done well, and it allows the devs to focus on cooler parts of the game, but you wouldn't understand because you're a zoomie that feeds of social media
>>
>>720717697
Yes. Would even call it AAAA because store assets are better than whatever AI shit AAA games churn out.
>>
>>720718869

Huh? It's almost a linear game. There isn't that much exploration. You sure your friend isn't just a retard?

>>
>>720720056
Silksong made me realize how mediocre E33 is.
You barely really interact with the environment, the combat is a QTE fest, many skills feel inconsequential and you will never be able to use all of them anyway.
The only thing I would say that is better in E33 than in Silksong is the music.

E33 is a shit game with a laughably bad story. I'm sorry but "AND THEN IT WAS ALL A DREAM" is shit they give you as an example of BAD WRITING IN FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL, but every retarded predditor creams their pants over it, 'muh trauma muh guilt' the entire plot hinges on every person involved having terminal fucktard brain damage.

Silksong might also turn out to be shit, replayed HK1 and just bought SS today and man the first (real) boss being 'Moss Charger but more health, damage and an extra attack with no counter window' is looking PRETTY FUCKING GRIM

These games are only being held up so high because every other modern vidya is THAT FUCKING BAD but both of these get mogged to hell and back by a whole slew of older games.

>>720717972
>How can 30 people outperform 600 people?
At least 2/3rds of those 600 and DEI hires that contribute a net negative to the game. Also, E33 relies very heavily on scale to mask how shallow the exploration and environments are, copy-pasted assets spammed out the fucking ass with a healthy lathering of UE5 sloppa filters.
>>
>>720719934
>you do it that way so that you can make good stories and bosses
Your argument would hold water if E33 had either of those
>>
>>720717972
different mentality when you're working on your passion project vs your 9-5. Office work in America is basically a game of how much you can slack off while still getting more done than your teammates so you're positioned well when it's time for promotions or layoffs (well certain tech sectors it's even wore because they know there's a ritual blanket layoff every 2-5 years so there's no point in even trying hard enough for that).

Clair obscure is an asset flip with barely any real gameplay. If they wanted to make a movie, they should've made a movie.
>>
>>720724045
Ok.
>>
>>720717120
to pay all the useless eaters, dei hires and especially our beloved (((white))) managers who bankroll all this shit.
in short:
never buy a game which is initally more expensive than 60 bucks. Pirating, is like demos were back then, the morally correct way to test if you even should spend your hard earned or easy leeched money.

Imagine being so retarded you fall for bait made by lobotomized cattle (ninturdogs)

>>
>>720717281
E33 is my GOTY, i dont care what jeff faggot suck kojimas dick keely gives the award to after that gay ps5 demo disk game was awarded it over wukong

it was the biggest mask off moment from those cowards

How can you be this fucking bad

>>720721539
Nice one mask damage mod you fucking nigger holy shit kill yourself

>>720722181
The retard is using a mod to take less damage and still almost dies. Of course it's going to look dumb

E33 will win.

do her in 2 mins or less, faggot, i challenge you.

>oh no he took DAMAGE AAACKKKK
because parrying, dodging and evasive maneuvers only waste time. you will take damage anyways. the ungabunga style at least guarantees you do damage to the boss, and prolonging the fight only decreases your chance of winning. basic fucking logic, niggers.
