I bought France: The Game, but it takes 4 hours to download.What's the game even about?I literally only heard 2 opinions about the game:1. Game good, recommend.2. The game is Shilled so much everywhere that it must be really bad.And 5 thing about it:1. You go into paintings.2. It looks cool.3. French Baddie.4. Turn-Based RPG.5. I won't max out the settings at 1080p with my rx 7800 xt.Guys please tell me it's my bday did I fuck up buying the game, tell me what the game is abt
>>726050119Imagine paper mario but dating sim. Also baguetté croissauntue. That's the game
>>726050119The game is hugely good.
>>726050119>4 hours to downloadi don't want to talk to a thirdie about this game. go play warcraft 3 custom maps or something.
>>726050353The fiber guys are taking like over 1 week to come over to my house to sign a lease with them. Living that 30/3 mbps life since 2013.
It's the current "cinematic interactive experience" for impressionable normalfags who fucking hate videogames but also can't stand NOT being part of a big crowd, so they want to feel like they're watching a movie while holding the controllers.It has barely any gameplay and it just boils down to playing generic turn-based RPG bullshit with QTE's (apparently mindblowing and awesome because the average normalfag never played one of the mario RPG games)And the story is just melodramatic woman bullshit that doesn't have anything interesting or clever to say, it's just the usual "deep" bullshit normalfag pseuds eat up with zero self awareness.Also all the bitches are bland, fully covered up and have big jaws.The main reason why the game got shilled so hard is probably because the devs have connections and wealthy families. That's about it.
>>726050269>>726050494kys nincels
>>726050269Ima check it out then, thanks I was on the fence
>>726050494you didn't play it, anon. we can tell.
>>726050494You can't stop me from drooling over french baddies in the game
>>726050119The game is about stopping the paintress from killing everyone, but the cutie in OP pic is actually the daughter of the paintress and the main antagonist, out in the real world, while everyone else inside the painting are just that... paintings.
>>726050119If you like the jrpg format, fun gameplay, cool music, interesting stories, interesting environments, awesome bosses, or cool shit in general you will probably like this game.
Should it be played in the french dub?
>>726051052Apparently fully covered up whores with big jaws are "baddies". Ok twitter normalfag, now run along and resume crying about how drawings of little children are literal pedophilia and that bikini armor is a disgusting concept.
>>726051114xDD teh epic trollololz
>>726051413Okay anon go ahead show me how a badie looks in your opinion.
>>726051413>that>big jawYou are a fag.
>>726050119Expedition 33 is the only game I've purchased in maybe the past ten years that I'm actually upset at because I can't get my money back.Take from that what you will.
>>726051956You have shit taste though and are brown.
>>726052026Wrong on both counts, shillnigger.
>>726050494Seconding
I had it refunded even though i liked the story and aesthetics very much.QTE gameplay is just arse. i hated every encounter.
>>726052339I enjoyed Sakuna way more than E33 and would probably draw Sakuna sucking a dick or something, if that matters.
>>726052556Game bad.
>>726050119I thought East Asians people were psychopaths. Yet she is crying and she is very emotional while playing the entire game.Thanks to E33 I learned I was wrong. This game simply transcend the human soul
>>726050119It's a new hallmark in AA games production. A bit rough around the edges but soulful and competent
>>726052717I know you're shitposting but the fact that some people actually think like this is so annoying.I fucking hate this game and the effect it will have on discourse for years to come. All because most people have shit fucking taste and standards.
>>726052717>crying over the good endingkek
>>726053003>I fucking hate this game and the effect it will have on discourse for years to comeElaborate. What effect and what's to hate?
>>726053072I think it's a mediocre game and I think it failed to meet its potential. It's ugly, it's basic, and I'm tired of going into detail why on anonymous posts that will just disappear into the void. I'm mad that I bought into the hype maintained by people who have only consumed shitty media, and so this game to them seems like something beyond what it is.With people praising this game like the second coming, it's only natural to assume it will be referenced for years and years, much like Hollow Knight is, despite it, too, being another mid as fuck game that did nothing for its genre. I'm just tired.
>>726053006When she saw Esquie, it killed her inside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X263W2DHryIBut she chose the other ending at first. Completely devastated when she saw a choice lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhpTeBj0QxQ
>>726053407>"The popular thing didn't click with me so I became a hater instead"Many such cases
>>726050494literally this/thread nepotism ruined games
>>726053407>it's not anime reeeRetard
>>726053632Basically. It was a reminder that the lowest common denominator is never to be trusted, because it's literally the scum of society.>b-but popular opinion is never wrong!Fifty Shades of Grey. Minotaur romance novels.>>726053787>I can't read!Yes, we know.
>>726050494interesting opinion, now share your steam hours>i- i pirated!!there are in game hours. share them
>>726053897Popular things can be and often are shit if the game is popular due to blatant pandering. E33 is not the case of that
>>726053407It's literally the best game I've played since ps2 Gen and you are worthless and not early as profound as you think you are. Just cynical and depressed.Game is the only game in a decade to even show why games should still exist. Kys. There has not been a game as well done as this since Shadow of the Colossus, FFX, RE4, Dark Souls 1 / Bloodborne. You are worthless and I'm glad you don't enjoy great experiences so you can be upset in here as if it means anything. I listen to the ost daily a half year later. I introspect about a lot of the morals presented. You're just a loser with nothing in life id bet.
>>726050119I think its fun for the first two acts then shits the bed and the combat becomes so fucking repetitive that its torture to push through to the end.
>>726050119It's an okay turn-based JRPG with a timed parry gimmick that becomes more overbearing as the game goes on, and an interesting premise about a mysterious diety killing off everyone of a decrementing age every year. The character writing is kind of bad in general and the story outside of a few admittedly strong points is not the best. Overall the game has been severely glazed but it's not terrible or unenjoyable, imo.
>>726053407All this talk and there is still no proper opinion on why the game is bad. You call it ugly and basic yet refuse to elaborate why. Hence, these words become just as empty as your head until proven otherwise.
>>726053897Women love to be thrown around and dominated by men who can't contain themselves and their lust for them at any cost. That's why that slop is popular. You seem really simple minded and lacking in the same abilities you pretend others do.Mr 55 iq virgin thinking he's Mr 145 Chad over here
>>726054023It is. It's generic UE5 asset- and French-depression-slop. A character suffering a bunch doesn't mean he's particularly well-written. Your hebe daughterwife growing white hair does not a good game make.>>726054118This is either a shitpost or projection. I hope your impotence hurts. Seethe.>>726054246>he thinks anyone owes him shit for his bad tasteCute.>>726054280lollmao
>>726054171This. Overall, I really liked the game. But it should have ended after beating the paintress. Everything after that felt like it was just dragging everything out.
>>726054463>CuteYou are so afraid to back your own words that you run away because once you'd get into details and specifics you would be exposed for the brainlet you are. Good riddance
>>726054463>It is. It's generic UE5 asset- and French-depression-slop. A character suffering a bunch doesn't mean he's particularly well-written. Your hebe daughterwife growing white hair does not a good game make.In what way is that pandering? Pandering implies there is clear demand from the crowd to which the game stoops. As if we got a market for french-depression games lmao
>>726054617Yeah, that's definitely why.>>726054561This guy gets it. Game did away with all its intrigue after that "twist". Ruined the whole fucking game. Who gives a shit about a burn victim and poor Verso's suffering. Fuck off.
>>726050119It's a grand adventure to stop the evil woman from killing everyone. But it's amazing.
>>726054246NTA but his opinion might be related to:1. The basic battle system that plateaus early as the player realises the one basic pattern to follow, with the developer's choosing to develop difficulty via Elden Ring parry chains instead of mechanical challenge2. The cardboard cutout characters3. Hackish writing where, for instance, Gustave is killed randomly by a character who can seemingly appear whenever and could kill anyone at any point, is motivated to kill everyone except Maelle, has plenty of opportunity to and indeed does massacre a lot of you as his very first act in the game but is then used as a lazy device for killing off the main character in an unearned death scene - so said main character can be replaced by Geralt of No Charismia two seconds after dying - even though it would make more sense for him to show up at camp and kill everyone all at once. Like jfc i can't believe how lazy it is to just have a magical villain appear in one scene without preamble or justification to kill off the main character. Imagine writing that lmaoIt could be any or all of those and, as an extra bonus into the bargain, the women are ugly as fuck
>>726055012But it's not, is it? That's what it pretends to be, at first. And then it just kind of throws that all away.>>726055154I wouldn't go as far as to say the women are ugly (except the one Indian one, forgot her name), but the rest is spot on.
>>726055154That was not a random death. It was heavily telegraphed by his themes and uneasy vibe of the cutscene. Not to mention the skill tree>The basic battle system that plateaus early as the player realises the one basic pattern to followWhich pattern is that?
>>726055316Yeah things happen. It's a beautiful world with well written and well acted characters.
>>726055509And you definitely sound genuine and not like a shill bot at all. You may redeem your wage when ready, Panjeet.
>>726051052https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SMt8TJGqOg
>>726055154I forgot to mention Act 3 which does nothing to explore the twist and the consequences of it on the characters and instead goes for a contrived conclusion where we reduce the characters to mere tools (as if they were much more to begin with) and magically raise an army of the dead so we can go to the final dungeon without any of the tension or challenge of character agency or practicality. Again, hackish writing. Characters get massive world-changing revelation and eh whatever anyway let's fly to the bad guy's house with our undead army and beat him up. Literally as a parody of bad writing this would seem excessive.
>>726055154Your spoiler is literally explained in depth as to why this happens, but you did not play the game and just want to troll on 4chsn pathetically
>>726055472>It was heavily telegraphed by his themes and uneasy vibe of the cutscene.This is the level of intellect we have to share this fucking image board with bahahahhahahabbabababsbbddbbddbdbBs
>>726055850>I won't elaborate on anythingOk then
>>726050119Nigger why do you NEED to know so much about the game? Just fucking download it and play it. I went into it completely blind after it came out when I saw it getting shilled constantly, you think I regret it? Fucking zoomers, I swear. You guys need to know the game's entire story before you can even consider watching the intro cutscene. In my day, I bought games because the cover looked cool and I didn't even know the fucking genre>>726050494You never played it, but I remember being 18 and pretending that new bad old good gave me a personality
>>726055692I am genuine, you sound like an angry troll spamming about everyone being indian.
>>726055835Well maybe you could elucidate this for me. Make sure it isn't some dumb shit like saying he specifically didn't like Gustave for bringing Maelle or whatever because he clearly wanted to kill all of the expedition to keep the Paintress going for as long as possible
>>726056134"It's a beautiful and compelling world, full of interesting and vibrant characters!" You sound like an AI prompt.
I've never seen such retarded people as anti - e33 fags. Straight up. It actually doesn't even make sense to me. Just seem sincerely, hopelessly unhappy and projecting
>>726056147He was killed because he loved to throw rocks so much. Fatal mistake
>>726056306Well I'm not.
>>726056308>the zoomer who's never played any other RPG thinks other people are the problemDeadass.
>>726056082bro the main character, the guy used to promote the game, fucking dies at the end of Act 1, then you use a WOMAN for the rest of the game until you finish it. stop smoking and playing games
>>726056462NTA but my first RPG was FF6 in 1999. Since then, I've played every major RPG on SNES, PS1, and most of the ones on PS2. E33 is top 5 RPG I've ever played. I would put it in the same league as Xenogears.
>>7260551541. This is really subjective, I liked the parry system and experimenting with different builds. It was hype as fuck to parry Dualliste and eventually Simon. There are issues with it admittedly like the weak balancing and how easy it is to get yourself broken, and all the slow motions and fake outs that mess with you. Coming back to the game a 2nd time and putting x5 hp on everyone, and now trying to parry purely off an eye test was really fun for me.2. If you mean the graphics, they were pretty bad on some instances, but the characters looked fine for the most part other than the hair and its physics3. Did you forget the game lol?? Literally everything is explained on act 2 & 3 and pRenoir's motivations all align up. It's neither lazy nor is it hackish. Several times before act 3, its shown that Renoir is no joke and is clearly someone bigger, with the timestop freeze scenes with Maelle, you know something is up and there is little you know, and clearly something is building up. I dont even know if you paid attention, but Renoir literally tried to kill Maelle before Verso blocked his attack.>>726055748Act 3 has weaknesses. There was more depth to be explored example the consciousness of the canvas people and whether actually ending the canvas morally is a good choice or not. There was far more depth to the game's writing in act 1, presumably they were running out of fuel and budget by act 3 so they wanted to conclude things.>Characters get massive world-changing revelation and eh whatever anyway let's fly to the bad guy's house In case you didnt notice, thats because theres about 15 new locations to be explored with Esquie.>magically raise an army of the dead >magicallyLolThere are plenty of writing issues in the game but you chose the worst ones to criticize it for
>>726056573>outright lying on a mongolian basket weaving image board to promote his schizophrenic fight against the woke boogeyman
>>726056719>Falling for the bait this hardbruh
>>726056774where is the lie retardoare you saying the main character used to promote the game doesn't get killed at the end of Act 1, and then you use a woman for the rest of the game until you finish it? are you saying we plought another game?
>>726056910I don't give a fuck about the promotion of the game - I didn't keep up with it and picked up the game after release. But to infer that a bait and switch promotion is a bad thing, or even a new thing, just shows you can't be older than 20. MGS2 did it several years ago. You don't use a "woman", you have the option to take one of any 5 party members with you at any given time. You can also choose to control any of them in the overworld. The main characters for Act 2+ are both Verso and Maelle.
>>726057241anon tell where were is the lie go on tell me where is the lie you said i wroteor did we played another clair?did we plought another 33?waiting now for your reply to tell me how it's a lie
>>726057353The lie is you use a woman, with a strong inference that this is your only option. If you have a problem with using a woman, you have the option to switch to a different character, some of whom are men. I realize you're stupid, anon, but I thought you at least had a remote understanding of the English language. I'm now beginning to doubt that
>>726057508the main story focuses on the woman after the fucking guy used for promotion gets killed at the end of act 1 like this anon posted>>726055154the fuck are you talking about go play the game WITHOUT smoking next time even fucking IGN mentions the woman BY NAME , you know the one the story focuses ONLY on? tell me how I'm lying again lolstupido
>>726050119So for now I found out I cannot parry/dodge for shit in the game.I'll manage eventually later.
>>726057665The main story focuses on both Verso and Maelle, hence why both Verso and Maelle are the main characters.>moving goalposts from "you're forced to play a woman" to "but the story is mainly about a woman"Please take your meds, anon. This is painful to watch
>>726057871nice concession better luck next thread i guessidioto
>>726057665this is an amazing thing to post too bad it's posted like 6 months after the game released at least i'm not buying it now lol thanks
>>726058030>you're le forced to play as a woman>actually it's just the STORY is about a woman>actually the STORY is 50% about a woman but i accept your concession, heh...
>>726058030>i- i was only pretending to be retarded!!like clockwork
>>726058145>>726058159extremely seethe in these not even need an image btw
>>726058223good morning saar
>>726058272good night Kamacht
I enter this thread for screencap of the french qt and I get retards fighting
>>726058314Is that your last name, Ranjeet? Your english is so broken, I have a hard time believing you're anything but a poo eater.
>>726058385>uses chatgpt to fix his grammars after sperging out>still posts with horrendous syntaxlol that's you btw Kamacht
>>726058481This has been fun, Rakesh. Don't forget to do the needful tomorrow, we need to promote Unleash the Avatar, bloody benchod sir.
>>726058595i'll be in your next thread again posting >>726056573 btw no need to thank me
Best emotional game i've played, to me it's comparable to Silent Hill 2 in term of writting.It's by far the best / one of the best OST ever made.Haters are too dumb to understand it and think the story is lame but it's really a masterpiece if you trully connect every dots and details.This game has also replay value, gameplay wise and in term of writting, because you can understand the deep meaning of many scenes from the begining when you are aware of how it will end. Even the characters's glares during dialogues are sending deep messages when you know the truth. (i am actually replaying it right now so i can confirm that).Of course the game isn't 100% perfect due to the reduced amount of people working on the game, like for example the running/jumping/ducking animations that could have been better and also slightly too much use of invisible walls, but we can forget them when you see how that game literally make you hooked to it until the very end and even after you keep thinking about it. Honestly very few games can brag to be able to have this effect.
Wow, what an amazing and well-thought-out paragraph. A shame it was written by an LLM and not by a human.
>>726059612>anyone who likes the things i irrationally hate is a botLeast schizophrenic E33 hater
>reddtors feigning ignorance to play passive aggressive tactics in shilling their turd GOTY game thats automatically a win because billionaire made it and hired celebrities to voice act
nepotism has been a mistake for the human race
>>726050119Beautiful RPG, great acting, great music, interesting plotMost of the characters are largely irrelevant and the combat system is pretty easy to break, but it's not really a deal breaker. There are also platforming segments and minigames and those all suck shit but they're fully optional so whatever
>>726050119The goat.
>>726050119The reason it's so highly regarded is because it's a modern game with high production quality and a fairly large budget that somehow is still just an honest and simple game, that harkens back to simpler times in gaming, without any of the trappings that have plagued new releases for the past decade. It's a straight forward game with gameplay designed to be fun, a story designed to be captivating, and art direction designed to be pleasing to the eyes and ears. It's 30 hours long, no bloated run time, no fetch quest collect-em-ups, no online multiplayer, no live service subscriptions or loot crates, no microtransactions. Just a video game in its purest form. It doesn't necessarily hold up against the all time greats it draws inspiration from, but by even taking inspiration from them it blows modern games out of the water. When was the last time a major release with AAA production quality was made on this simple and honest style? They said it best themselves, to paraphrase, it's a game not designed to extract money from gamers as efficiently as possible, but to be a good and enjoyable game, such that people will want to buy it and so the developers will make their money, and they have.
>>726050119Game unironically good
>>726065069Tldr u spaz but u rite tbdesu
>>726050269It’s not really like Paper Mario. That’s what I thought until I played it. It’s more like a turn based soulslike and yeah it’s as stupid as it sounds and the dating sim is missing the sim part.
>>726052717I’m starting to think this game wasastroturfed by nazis as some covert race war against Asian people.
>>726050119Happy bday anon but you fucked up bigly. The "game" sucks best refund
>>726069359Nazi don't exist anymore my boy they disappeared decades ago
>>726068237I'm waiting for the new content to start another game. Should I do NG+ or fresh playthrough? I am lvl 99 literally everything done.
