Is this just misery porn?
Not everything the French makes is Les Miserables.
yes but it's good misery pornkilling noco was too much though
>>724213096agreed
>>724212807I would say yeah. It's the worst kind of millennial writing inspired by femslop media. The cast is a group of quippy 30-somethings like Friends and the plot turns are meant to shock more than evoke genuine pathos
>>724216219you haven't played the game
>>724216219>millennial writingstop using terms you don't understand
>>724212807https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy
>>724212807Nah it's AI porn.
>>724212807wtf is misery porn
>>724218035figure it out
>>724212807you will never experience love
>>724218676your mother disagrees
>>724212807worse, it’s pseudo-intellectual
>>724212807No that's a video game. Keep up Anon.
>>724218702nah it's not made by kojima
Somehow, its rollslop
>>724218969i thought it was parryslopmake up your mind lmao
>>724219021there’s no functional difference
>>724219067I don't think your brain is functional.
>>724219067okay retard
>>724219154>>724219157you use a specific timing window to avoid an attack and get an attack of opportunity on an enemy. what attacks they each work on looks like a vinn diagram
>>724218035A buzzword emotionally crippled retards who cant handle the entire spectrum of emotions use when something gives them sad feefees. Everything has to be Disney and happy endings only. No tragedy, drama and such allowed.
>>724219316shut up retard
>>724212807No, and the chick character is hot and gets a swimsuit
>>724219334make all souls games perma death and give me more than 2 attacks and we can talk about it being challenging or fun
>>724212807>He doesn't get itOh boy
>>724212807Worse. It's an "everything was a dream, nothing was real" kind of story.
>>724219932no it wasn't you retard
>>724212807nah but it is GOTY of not GOTD
>>724219932why do people say this?
I don't really like Exp33, but I'm not allowed to state that because I'll get raped by the shills.
>>724212807Any game that uses "it's a dream realm" is a garbage game. It's awful and shit story simply because it has this.
>>724220612>false reality inside a painting>nothing inside that painting is real>there's a real world outside of the paintingIt was all a dream.
>>724220612because they're stupid parrots who haven't played the game like >>724220662
>>724220728Why should you care for a false reality and any of the people in it? It's a waste of time story wise anytime a writer does this.
>>724220719>>724220813retard
>>724219323Tragedy:>A soldier fighting for a righteous cause unknowingly slaughters his own father who too fights for a good cause that just so happens to oppose itMisery porn:An aggressive army invades village after village, slaughtering peasants, raping women and shitting on the streets with graphic descriptions of the acts and the suffering it causesBy that definition E33 is a tragedy and not misery porn because it doesn't wallow in overtly voyeuristic portrayal of suffering but rather explores characters interacting with overwhelming-to-impossible odds
>>724220813you're so fucking stupid it's unreal
It's just a tragedy, still, it tries to tell you there is hope if you want to look for it, so it's not miserable.
it's a game about dealing with loss so it's not somber for no reason
>>724212807No, it's really not because of what >>724221614 says. Misery porn is more about graphic depictions of pointless suffering.It has some "shocking" elements like alicia being disfigured (she doesn't even look that bad, just the empty eye socket is a bit weird) or the piles of corpses (turned to stone anyway) or the characters being dirty and bruised all the time but it doesn't dwell on it and it's tempered by previously mentioned.
>misery porn>the good ending is the family finally being able to grief the loss of VersoAll in all, it's quite impressive how decent writing can improve your game. Really makes one think why other publishers can't get that one right
>>724212807e33 is a faggot game made by faggots for faggots
>>724222583They'd rather talk about gays, trannies, feminism and racism, instead of themes universal to the human condition.
>>724219412why are all unreal engine sloppa games so brown and bloom? also, I really do think majority of this game was done by AI. my intuition is strong.
>>724222715Finally a game just for you then.
>>724222715ok phoneposting faggot
>>724222846kek
>>724222846nah the game is shit bro>>724222858at least I am not some faggot defending this faggot game made by talentless faggots for tasteless faggots
>>724222910okay faggot
>>724222910you're brown
>>724222998>okay faggotbut I think excrement 33 is pure shit. unlike a faggot like you who enjoys this turd which is the equivalent of a netflix show produced by the obamas.
>>724212807There's a lot of sadness and struggle, but there's plenty of happy moments too. The endings leave a lot up to personal interpretation, some see them as all sad, some don't.
>>724222832There's nothing wrong with any of these themes, the problem is that they use politics as a crutch to prop up shitty writing.
>>724223005post hand faggotyou wont
>>724223138>it's a buglollmao
>>724223138>look how intellectual i am guise
>>724222910>>724223005>>724223138>>724223197You're both retarded children.
>>724222841>cherry pick the red areaEvery area is dominated by one color.
>>724223197wrongbut think of me what you wish bro, whatever helps you cope. in the end youre still a massive faggot for enjoying this faggot game made by faggots
>all old people dieWhy is this a bad thing again? I haven't played this so idk the plot twists or whatever but the basic premise seems like paradise
you're just obsessed with faggots aren't you
>>724222832>instead of themes universal to the human condition.The problem is that without a spiritual dimension there's no reason to ever care about this. The "human condition" separated from a soul is just chemicals. You can't be a materialist and see "the human condition" as anything other than an interesting and amusing quirk of evolution, like men having facial hair.
>>724223260NO U
>>724223318The age drops by a year, by the time the game starts, all 34 year olds die.
gonna enjoy watching this sperg lose his shit when this wins GOTY
>>724223543I know about that part, so what happens when it gets to 0what's the villain's endgameno i will not play the game or even look up a plot summary
>>724223621the same goty award awarded to the last of us 2 and bald and gay 3? hey, grats bro.
>>724223628guess you'll never know
>>724223621literally who are you talking about lil gup? let me guess, everyone who disagrees with you is one guy
>>724223621That's like saying a movie about the Holocaust is going to win best picture.
>>724223628They all die, which is the villain's endgame.
>>724223681Ah, so the plot everyone calls shit whenever a JRPG from the 90s does it?
>>724223628The world and everyone in it (besides a few key characters) are the remains of a dead man's painting who are being erased by Andy Serkis because he wants his wife to stop playing VR Chat with her AI replica of their son.Said replica wants the world destroyed so the family can move on.
>>724223712There's just a lot more to it.Why complain about something you didn't pl- nevermind.
>>724223656last of us 2 was a great game outside of story and characters - the gameplay is great and it has some awesome TECHNOLOGY
>>724223738interesting. have any of the characters tried not being french?
>>724223949I'm afraid it's terminal.
god weekend /v/ is always so dogshit
>>724224009have you considered leaving and not coming back, faggot?
>>724212807Based game.I have baby tendieshit and Marvel quips fatigue
>>724224104Yeah it was written by someone who hasn't been consumed by marvel-garbage, gender-studies or childish japanese cartoons. Very refreshing.
i want to replay it, but if i do ill probably be too tired of it when expansion comes
>>724223946>tlou2 is goodfigures that a faggot like you would enjoy e33. it was crafted by those like you after all.
>>724218035Stuff made for you to watch someone suffer the whole time. Not actually "porn" usually.Like, watching a movie where the characters suffer through an uphill battle for most of the run time, dying off one-by-one, and by the end there's only a couple left and they're not happy about it despite the win.It's another one of those umbrella terms without a super-focused, concrete definition though.>>724220654Same. For me, it's that I realized a bit TOO quick that the game's entire combat system revolves 100% around shooting weakpoints, and parrying (dodging if you suck/panic).It got repetitive WAY too fast, every fight was the same,>don't know what this thing does, so I'll play it safe for a turn or two>oh, that's how to parry it>now that enemy is a complete non-issue and will never be a threat ever againRepeat, repeat. The entire game is like this.If an 80 hour game gets repetitive in like 2-3 hours, it's fucked.Even Mario RPG, a game some shitposters like to compare it to, had where different weapons held by different characters affect the timing of your attacks, you can't block/dodge/negate enemy spells at all, the timings were wildly different per skill per character, and your equipment actually mattered instead of being a bunch of weird RNG stat sticks. Need a romhack to make the game a bit harder though.
>>724223656seething nintoddller kek - figured you're mad about not being able to play this masterpiece
>>724219021https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xngBF-sWsLg
>>724224186grow up and stop trying to hard to fit inand learning to read might help out too
>plebs filtered by parries
>>724224274Less repetitive than selecting the best damage skill and occasionally defend in a menu
>>724224338if in youre faggot mind growing up equates to becoming a faggot like you who enjoys netflix tier story writingthen I rather be forever young.
>>724224416you sound like am imbecileno wonder your vocabulary is so limited like a borderline esl
>>724224530hey at least Im not some faggot defending this faggot game by faggots fir faggots lmao!
>>724224167And it's amazing it was an Asian woman with a french man.
I haven't played the game but from clips I've seen, I don't like the UE5 brown smear graphics, the repetitive opera music, the bad voice acting, or even the ui
>>724224863Then you just have shit taste
>>724224863>the repetitive opera music>I haven't played the gameyeah we knowyou can complain about anything, but music is amazing, and not repetitive at all
>>724216292>>724216423you can't even refute what he says>>724218035the original I Have No Mouth short story is the best example of misery porn. The game is ironically not so because Ellison actually put some consideration into why the survivors were chosen by AM which makes it a more interesting piece of writing on the human condition. The original is just torture porn.
>>724224696yea amazing alright. lets break down one their characters, Gustave.>constantly told to hurry up or speak up or shut up or stop being a coward>at first glance of a real battle he freezes up like a lil bitch meanwhile everyone around him, including all the strong woman are fighting to survive >gets knocked out in said battle and when waking up the first thought in his mind is “imma kill myself like the cuck bitch faggot that I am. doesnt even bother looking for maelle>meanwhile all the strong woman survive with no problems. sciel is even having a blast at the gestalt arena. >constantly made fun of for his weakness >dieslmao, tell if this isnt something only a faggot and a woman could conjurer up.
>>724225021he is a perfect millenial self insert
>>724225185for those who cum after am i rite?
>>724224931Ok. I could be wrong about the music. But I especially don't like the graphics, UE5 just looks awful like everything has a shit filter, but then I've always preferred a stylized or cartoony style. I'd probably play Mario Brothership before Expedition 33.
>>724225257>I'd probably play Mario Brothership before Expedition 33.It shows.
>>724225257dont bother with e33 unless youre a faggot
>>724212807No, why are you asking?
>>724225307This.Go play troonemon and the new girlpower zelda game without link
>>724225376>everyone who doesnt like my faggot game is a tendiewhatever helps you cope, faggot.I am playing NG4 atm. great gamemade for real man gamers lmao!
>>724225481Gay comboslop lmao
>>724225376ok sure, I will play games with actual soul which explore deep themes like the meaning of brotherhood, not misery slop ue5 asset flip that people only like because of IGN. I'd also much rather play pokemon za than expedition 33 because it's not a cynical miseryporn
>>724224373>players that struggle to parry get fucked because the game's built around them>said players would often rather turn the difficulty down and keep playing FOTM games, instead of quitting outright, since most modern gamers (read: normalfags and casuals) tend to want to be "part of the community" more than wanting to play games because they like it>easy mode makes the parry window about half an hour long, maybe 45 minutesIt's not a skill issue, if that's what you're implying.Actually unrelated, I swear, no sarcasm, but is anyone else noticing more and more new/newish games getting repetitive defenders parroting vague defenses 24/7?It's been happening the most with first-party Switch 2 games, but I'll see it sometimes with other games.Dunno if it's just normalfag consoomer tribalism over their favorite companies, or if we're starting to see a rise in AI chat bots being used to defend and market games.The one I see the most of all of them is this recurring accusation where if you don't buy a Switch 2 and all the games, you're broke.It's not that you don't like the games (you haven't tried them, after all), it's that you should drop everything and buy a Switch 2 and all the first-party games; they're all 10/10 games!Another thing I see more with Pokemon in particular is where you're.... "supposed" to buy them, but I'm not sure if these guys are bots.It's not that you "should" buy the game, or that they're suggesting that you'd like it, it's that "it's Pokemon" and that not buying the latest game is inconceivable, it simply doesn't happen, it's an impossibility, which just spins back to the "you don't have a Switch 2 and don't have the newest Pokemon games because you can't, you're too broke" thing.Bonus: /v/ gets all the above, plus "if you don't buy [game], then you must be a fan of [other game company]" namely the Xbox/Sony thing, which again spins back to "you haven't bought it because you can't (yet.)"
>>724225571Wtf is this Barney the dinosaur shit
>>724225723>noooo everything needs to have a shit filter!!
>>724225571>cynical miserypornSo... play e33?
>>724212807Basically, yeah. A light form of it, since I've encountered edgier cases but it does qualify for the definition.
>>724216219You are correct.>>724216292You are incorrect.What was the point of Gustave's death? It was not:- the culmination of his character arc- nor did it progress another character's- nor did it drive the narrative- nor did it illustrate the game's themes- nor did it establish a threat, since we already knew Renoir was powerfulThe prelude and the aftermath of his death were better than than the death scene itself.
>>724212807To be a good mysery you should like the characters first though...
>>724226138Your death will be pointless too, just like your life.
>>724226138>NOOOOOO, HIS DEATH SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ALLEGORY FOR ME GROWING UP TO BE A TOTAL FAGGOT AFTER MY UNCLE RAPING ME SINCE I WAS SIX
>>724226574Yes.
>>724226138>What was the point of Gustave's death?>The prelude and the aftermath of his death were better than than the death scene itself.You answered your own question, like what is even the complaint? You seem to agree that his death was important part of the plot but.. he didn't die in cool enough way? Like all your points are literally all wrong.It was Gustav who was an indecisive shitter standing up for something. He sacrificed himself for his adoptive sister-daughter, you know exactly like the event that kicks off the whole plot. The major theme of the game is death and loss. It's what motivates Maelle to defeat Renoir and Verso uses that to insert himself into the party and point them towards his own goals.
