Gustave is unironically a great example of a "better man" and not in the nu-GoW basedlennial way that we've come to expect. The game got worse when he was replaced by Verso.
WE
the game became 11/10 when Verso joined the party
>>726044821WUZ
>>726043745If you need to look to video games for a male role model other than Duke Nukem, you're way behind the curve in life
>gets killed>replaced by superior man verso who fucks 2/3 of the girls and the last one would do it if he asked.
>>726043745Fuck off with your astroturfed baguette shit.
>>726045598>gets pegged by 16 years girl>plays piano for 200 years while hellfires consumes him from withinuh oh
>>726043745Yeah he was a good man aside from the beginning where he almost kills himself the instant he faces the slightest hint of adversity.
>>726046373>the slightest hint of adversity.>everyone he knew immediately died the moment the mission started>found a whole mountain of corpses
>>726043745My 1 complaint of him is that there was too little, and in the little he had he usually just threw rocks or said some nerd shit. He should have had dialogue scenes like Verso had
>>726045038Yeah, Gustave was a bit too much of a beta for my taste.
>>726046446man pick ya skirt up b
>>726046896He isn't a beta at all, he's a handsome chad, he tells Lune what they're going to do and does it, he leads the team, he stands up to the villain who threatens his family even in the face of certain death. Is he beta because he's nice and likeable? I swear some of you guys simply have a pathological resentment toward anybody who is not a complete cunt.
>>726047770>midget under 6"...>chadare you 5" or something?
>>726043745>>726044821>>726047770Reminder that this guy isn't even a stereotypical Reddit feminist, he's one of those super religious church types that thinks women are superior to men and need to be protected from how disgusting men are. Somehow he is both a misandrist and a misogynist, you rarely see that outside of the Muslim world
>>726046446That's just another day in the life of Anon. He a super bad ass not afraid of anything. I think the icing on the cake was him seeing his friend who he had just convinced to join the expedition now dead not a full 24 hours later.
>>726048395he is correct about everything in his 2 postsdont know anything else made by him, he could still be retarded, but is right here
>>726043745It was so gay when Maelle had just had that first vision and Lune was asking questions and Cuckstave was just "No leave her alone"
>>726048395this is like a 13 year old trying to write a hot take90iq slop content possibly written by a nonwhiteyep its right wing twitter time
>>726053064The point of that scene was to show that it's in fact Lune who is the autistic retard
>>726053064If she wasn't as shaken I'd agree but she was on the verge of pissing herself after what happened. Only makes sense the father would worry about calming her first rather than extracting info.
>>726046373>when someone says we shouldn't marry nevrons
>>726053414Only an autistic retard would think that, well done
>>726053979Why is this so grainy?
>>726047990You're a tadpole that cares about height.
Maelle wants to fuck Gustave not Verso for a reason.
>>726054446its the mark of AAA devil
My honor and beliefs are pretty aligned with Gustaves and I am a kissless wizard almost lvl 40
>>726054149>person is clearly in shock and scared>autistic retard comes along and instantly starts badgering them with questions when they cant even string words together >"guhh wat?? wtf"it's rare to see an example of genuine unironic autism here nowadays, well done
>>726043745His death scene was feeble, and that's the only spoiler thing I've been hearing about the game for months that people glazed the game for.I'm not even sure why people see it as some insane ballsy and tragic moment.There is no impact. You barely know anything about the guy, even at that stage. He is immediately replaced with Verso with the same weapons, level, and, something that genuinely made me laugh, the same fucking Luminas that they didn't even unequip. >No-no don't worry mr. gamer one of you party members is not gone here is immediate substitute, feel sad thoughYou know what genuinely would have been cool? Actual exasperation on the game's part.If the converter actually exploded. Right into Renoir's face with Gustave giga-overcharging it and actually killing himself with it by a makeshift suicide bomb in the last ditch effort to at least hurt Renoir. Instead of it popping out and Verso bringing it back the next scene. It would have been cool if you couldn't upgrade the Lumina capacity (or upgrade learn Pictos through fights) until you swam to the shore where expedition landed and found a converter replacement, but I guess it would inconvenience the player too much. Literally "insists upon itself" moment.
>>726043745I have a dad bruh I don't understand you
>>726055735No anon, 16yo redhead is not going to suck your dick.
>>726045949>non-canon ending
>>726056016Kys
>>726058037Nah, I'm not Gustave.
>>726046446Or when he starts screaming at Lune an hour later about how he just wants to quit the mission and go home. It doesn’t even make sense considering the fact that he only has a year or two left before he gets grommaged. He should have made peace with his impending death by then. What stupid fucking game. I think I’m done playing video games. You people are cattle.
>>726056016>has no impact>good ending is gone because hero of story is now dead>he should have like had a big pow bow explosion like pashhawww booom boomm>game should have forced the player to trek back rather than just have verso bring it alongAre there no genuine posters anymore? Is it all just "haha look at how retarded I can pretend to be"
>>726060294We are awash in a sea of browns
>dies for nothingNo he was kind of an idiot desu, a loveable idiot but still an idiot.
>>726043745True, not in the nu-GoW way, but in the complete faggotpussy way1h into the expedition he wants to kill himself, 2h into it he wants to run away like a bitch
>>726060949Kratos is a bitch too. All he does is mope until Atreus forces him out of his sad cabin in the woods and he never takes responsibility for anything.
>fatherless/gormless cuckfathered kids are so common now, an entire grift industry grew out of it to “teach” them ‘masculinity’ (hint: you cant learn how to be a man)kinda really fuckin sad ngl
>>726060294>good ending is gone because hero of story is now deadAutistic meta-knowledge that has no relevancy during the scene of his death. >like had a big pow bow explosion like pashhawww booom boommNigger, this pshaaa phoooo baaaa, already happens except the hand just comically pops off right after, and then he repeats the charge again. Him jumping onto Renoir with a bomb makes him go out in a much more resolute and valiant manner, instead of getting shit, fighting, using overcharge, and lunging again. Exploding his converter would further highlight that when he told Maelle he would run, he lied, and he would literally rather explode himself to protect her. This way we would have a little through line: that after the landing he tried to kill himself out of despair, and now he is killing himself as a sacrifice even if it's useless. Nice little arc for this poor little creature.>game should have forced the player to trek back rather than just have verso bring it alongYou've never been on the landing beach outside of the cutscene. What are you talking about?You get the ability to swim on the overworld map right after that. Just swim to the shore around the chunk of land you were on before. They can also observe the corpses of the landing party. It would have been a nice moment. How is Verso literally auto-replacing him as a party member and auto-equipping all of his shit supposed to be better? I understand the knee-jerk reaction to me pointing out that the scene could have been better and just doesn't stack up to the absolute gassing it went through over the internet is to call me a hecking brown trollerino and my assessment not genuine, but holy shit. Watch more than 5 fucking movies in your life. Direction outright sucks ass.
>>726062050So you're just genuinely retarded then. Most of your points don't make any sense. Its like you're just putting words together and hoping a sentence comes out. Good for you champ.
>>726062725>u stupidDelectable lack of any arguments whatsoever. >Most of your points don't make any senseIt would have been nice for you to point out which and how, but since you are just a seething nigger with no actual arguments for why that lusterless scene is good as it is, you are clearly unable to.Might as well just type "lol didn't read" there would be more dignity in that than pretending you had any kind of retort.I'm just having to assume this is part of the knee-jerk reaction of a child unable to swallow that someone is being sardonic about what he found to be amazing. Watch more movies.
>>726063691Everything you just said but the opposite.
>>726063691nah bro you sound like an insufferable fag. didnt read your shit btw
>>726043745>The game got worse when he was replaced by Verso.You can't say "For those who come after" and me mad at the guy who comes after lmao. Verso Pusscrusher Dessendre was, is, and always willbe so goated that he can follow on Gustave.
>>726046803He should have been the final boss. Either returning corrupted and absurdly strong like Simon, as Renoir's last ace in the hole.
>People making fun of Gustave thinking about killing himself when it looks like everyone is dead and he's fucked>Praising Verso when his ENTIRE PLAN is to kill himself
>>726046446No it’s the whole >>726060182. He goes from stoic super determined guy to whimpy bitch for like then hours and then right back to super determined guy.
>Gustave's masculinityThis is the guy who is killed off unceremoniously I take it?That does seem to be the general gist now that people are mocking the other kind of non-masculinity "you should go die for us".
>>7260663191) Verso wants to kill everyone because he’s a based rational pessimist; Gus wants to kill himself because he’s a cringe disillusioned optimist.2) verso isn’t sentient.
>>726046803It was never explained why he had the same face as verso
I’m considering dropping down to story difficulty because I don’t get the appeal of the combat. You basically have to parry everything or you won’t even have ap to use abilities and build up your attacks. But if you are parrying everything then enemies can’t hurt you.
>>726068029Dunno, maybe it is an autism thing, but I enjoy parrying games. It is all about tempo, the characters and music are good too.
>>726068029It is retarded that for all the effort they put into pictos and unique boss status effects, every enemy is ultimately defeated by rhtyhm-based R1 tapping. Feels shallow and infantilizing in an otherwise impressive game.
>>726045543/thread
>>726054446Because people get mad when they have to download 20 gigabyte of 4k cutscenes. But there's a AI upscaling mod on Nexus if you want.
>>726068029It is in fact NOT a turn based JRPG. That one was a lie.
>>726047770he was going to shoot himself in the head if it wasn't for Lune. So, he is in fact a beta cuck.
>>726073047yeah, it’s a turn based soulslike which is retarded
>>726046803Pretty sure they had to cut him due to his actor's schedule. In the trailer you see him meeting Monoco which never happens in game
>>726073873fucking gay
>>726068029I dropped down to story before lamplighter, and it killed my already low interest in the combat until I wound up dropping it in the final act 3 run up to the final boss. Easy mode makes enemy damage so low that you can just never parry or dodge anything and still win. And then you’re just watching their stupid long attack animations.
>>726055614Daddy issues, what you gonna do?
>>726072579Something about the fake out “here it is jk here it is jk” attacks makes me actually rage even once I learn the pattern.There’s one guy with a big sword with an attack where three lights slowly appear on the sword, while he does three fake out lunges in a row before randomly hitting off the beat. He fills me with tard rage even though parrying it isn’t hard once you’ve seen it once.
I liked Gustave and thought he had a pleasant relationship with the rest of the cast.He struck me very much as the type of leader who brings out the strengths of other people while not being especially remarkable himself. Think Peter Parker (not Spider-Man) or Tidus.
>>726074804I'm not big on that stuff either. I think it comes from Souls/Elden Ring since FromSoft keeps going back to the well of "delayed attack chains" which, yes, makes your games harder, but it feels stale and superficial by now.
>>726075038He doesn’t seem like any kind of leader. I don’t think the expedition even had a leader which was another oversight from the writers. Just a stupid fucking game.
