In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you.
People didn't seethe like this over Elden Ring winning goty. What's the difference? And don't say "because Expedition 33 is a nepobaby industry plant UE5slop womanslop".
>>729204308because E33 is a good game
>>729204331This. Also /v/ loved E33 around the time of its release. So the autistic contrarians NEED to hate it because engagement farming is all they know.
>>729204210>The turning is already happeningWhere? I don't see it. Are you talking about the measly amount of negative reviews that have already slowed down?
>>729204308"Because Expedition 33 is a nepob-...indu-uh...working...guy?"
>>729204210that's a lot of negative reviews lol
yeah those are totally legit and not spite based
>>729204563Is it?
It's so funny how /v/ liked the game before it got a bunch of awards. Now the popular thing to do is hate on it. Why do you fagnuts care so much about awards? Old /v/ didn't give a shit.
You got raped.
>>729204308>What's the difference?Elden Ring had zero competition, meanwhile E33 is trampling all over Silkfags, Kojimbofags, and KCDfags.
If you use AI in your video games I will be vwery vwery angry with you and throw a tantrum. I'll cry and it'll all be your fault.
contrarian
Say what you will about the anti-AI crowd, they are shockingly rigid in their principles and won't kowtow to anyone. I find that somewhat admirable even if I think they're histronic about it.
>>729204745It was to make placeholder textures. None of that even made it into the final game. I hate ai generated stuff, but in this case, it's not any different from using flat, solid textures.
I didnt like the game before it was cool. When I played it. Skipping cutscenes because the writing was so terrible and made 95% of the cast disposable props.
>>729204903>None of that even made it into the final gamethey did though, a bunch of nothingburger poster textures that were patched out
What exactly am I looking at? Nearly 2 million people being exposed to the GOAT, experiencing a second wave of shock because it isn't $70, and some getting pissy about playing it because there isn't enough Fortnite dancing before going back to Shart Raiders?
>>729204981>patched outHence, not in the final game.
>>729205000they weren't exposed to FF7 thoughie
>>729204868There's nothing admirable or difficult about being anti-anything. Being anti-everything is the easiest position to hold, since you don't have to endorse anything or put yourself out there at all, just lazily cast stones from a distance. I know this because this is what 4chan does in general and /v/ in particular. The /v/irgin is immune to all ills, but ask a /v/irgin what are some of his favorite games, and he recoils - "I've been found out"
>>729204729>Elden Ring had zero competitionuh did you forget God of Slop: Slopnarok?
>>729204665asshurt?
>>729205045yeah but it touched touched the games stuff and I won't even eat food that touched the food like that like with my french fries if it touches the ketchup before I'm ready I throw the whole fry away it's gone that's bad. ai is bad. ketchup and fries are bad. It's clear as day but you can't see you little dumblord.
>>729204210>fotm slop is replaced as the short term memory children move onto next thingShock to you because you're a giant retard perhaps.
>>729205115Dad of Soi: Step Edition
>>729204308Probably because you have a short memory, or maybe you took the 200 daily Elden Ring threads /here/ for nearly 2 months straight as affirmation that there was no seething.
>>729204210It's kind of hilarious how much hate came out of them winning GOTY. I see constant posts online from people who genuinely make it clear they have never played the game or even saw footage of it, watch a 30 second clip of the gameplay, then go on entire rants about "parryslop" or "realismslop".I get it's engagement bait, but good lord.
>>729205103So as is commonplace with replies like yours, it begs me to ask why you even post here? If you hate 4chan and /v/ and anonymous imageboard culture, which sways negative in most instances, then what compels you to browse and spew your clearly superior opinions? Or are you that rare type who has to begrudgingly use this platform because the other hugboxes have more toxic positivity than you're willing to stomach? Anyways, your entire reply is nonsense to begin with since 4chan is predominantly pro-AI and has been for a while.
>>729204210Like what? Lied about being indie? Lied about not having a China slush fund? Lied about being a good game?
>>729205146
>>729204308Because no one knew that was even a thing.Its an indie game. It makes no sense for an indie game to be THAT good.
>>729205358If you touch something and then take it away, it still touched. It doesn't have to keep touching it, touching once was enough. How fucking stupid and simple do you have to be to NOT get this?
>>729205381It is objectively not an indie game.
>>729205381It takes two won goty and I had never even heard of it before then. E33 I had know of.
>>729204210>game rapes all other games and people are gigamad99% of those negative reviews are silksong trannies lmao shit is embarrasing Like look at these trannoids >>729205141 >>729205327 talking about themselves shit is comical lmao
>>729204868Those who get angry about body type A/B can be interchanged for people angry about ai. Wherever you see that argument in twitter or wherever just swap them out in your mind and the argument doesn't change, especially those who tell the recipient boo hoo accept it.You can argue with your trashcan for all it's worth, you know I'm right.
>>729205556There is a very obvious leftist slant to anti-AI discourse. No one invoked gender shit until you did.
>>729205454It is. Because its not made by a big studio.
>>729205304I don't hate all that though, I just pointed out that being anti-(thing) is a trivially easy and risk-free position to hold which is why it's so popular across the internet. It might be admirable if it were brave in some way but it's the opposite, it's cowardly. To stand for something means tying yourself to it and all that entails, putting your money where your mouth is so to speak. To stand against something take zero effort or commitment and anybody can do this, so there's nothing to admire
>>729205146>food analogyYour money nor your opinions will ever matter.
>>729204676I liked it the moment it got revealed in the Xbox (Game Pass) showcaseI still like it
>>729205629It's published by a company with seed funding. Do most indie developers have that luxury?
>>729205626>Anti-ai has leftist slant>Body type A/B has leftist slant>I point out the relation but somehow I'm the bad guy
>>729204210Extremely disingenuous take. It's being review bombed by anti-ai nimrods and people raging it swept the game awards. Not even a proponent of E33 (I havent even played it) but any idiot can read a room.
>>729205537hmm it's a lotta negative review though lol
HEY TRANNIESopnions about this? https://www.thegamer.com/famitsu-game-of-the-year-clair-obscur/https://www.famitsu.com/article/202512/61564Are you going to kill yourself now? your japanese overlord just did a dogeza on E33 lmaooooooooo
>>729205836Well, theres also the fact that it showed beyond a shadow of a doubt how easy the TGAs are to buy.Much like how sony bought the GOTY award for astrobot, the only way E33 got all those awards was because it was bought too.
>>729205934I'm confused. The ones mainly praising E33 are troons.>>729205945>Much like how sony bought the GOTY award for astrobotDon't forget TLOU also
>>729204210>loud minority retards flail as much as they can but accomplish nothingmany such cases
>>729204210E33 was the feel good story of the year. A branch of Ubisoft that broke off and made their own JRPG-like, a basically dead genre unless you hamfist dating mechanics in. And it's actually decent? Cool. It served its purpose by winning game of the year.
>Eurojank shill so buttblasted he reported this post lol seethe
>>729206045>>729205945absolute suicidal lmao
>>729206251>A branch of Ubisoft that industry planted a risky bet using chinese outsourcing and moneyfixed
>its parry slop>its parry slop>its parry slop>mfw I never even started parrying until act 3 and post-game content because dodging offered a better window and the 5+ hit enemy combos were too scary
>>729206295?
>>729206274what was wrong with that post?
>>729204210I love it, well deserved
>>729206343It hurt the shilljanny's feelings. He's Turkish, after all.
>>729204210stop glazing the board with your AI threads
>>729204331>>729204526>>729204729>>729205237>>729205381lol just compare /v/'s reaction to Elden Ring winning GOTY in the live thread vs Ej33t winning:Elden Ring (2022) - https://arch.b4k.dev/v/chunk/620470206/500/56/Ej33t (2025) - https://arch.b4k.dev/v/chunk/728138691/500/58/>Elden Ring reaction:>post after post, page after page of genuine jubilation and gloating about it beating god of my wife's sonslopCompared to>Ej33t reaction:>tumbleweed, a couple of obviously inauthentic shills trying to drum up "sw33p" as a forced meme and anons saying it's an industry plant gameLMAO ej33ts, how do we recover from this humiliation?
>>729206315And you can face tank 99% of game with the right builds, so parrying and dodging are quite literally optional
>>729204210>it was only big on the 11th so is just silksong trannies angry they lost something that was never theirs?
>>729206417Paid shill threads jointly paid for the the eu and china.They did the same with BG3
>>729206251That's the only reason it won, vibes and feelings. There is no other way a game this utterly broken could win game of the year. I say this as I'm in the post game right now debating whether I should stunlock a boss, one shot it, or activate the band-aid damage cap and extra enemy health options to try to have some semblance of fun but even then I have to ban myself from using certain broken strategies. It's like this piece of shit was never playtested, how the fuck was this game of the year?
>>729206421>click on links>the difference is night and daywhat the fuck, is E33 just entirely fake and fabricated?
>>729206421holy shit you are such a pathetic tourist lmao elder ring had threads being compared with DS2 of how bad it waswhat is this revisionism lmaoo the french really mindbroke you trannoid
>>729206479lil bro is crashing out and posting irrelevant screenshots lmao
>>729206441Technically true. The game is a breeze if you minmax pictos, over level, or master dodge/parry, but on your first play through thats probably not going to happen. It’s not a hard game but I wouldn’t call it easy either, it’s about average JRPG difficulty.
i never even heard of this shit before and when i looked it up it looked like ass, so fuck off. vocal minority got the game awarded a bunch of shit it didnt deserve and now others outside the E33 hugbox are taking notice of the game and the average reviews are going to reflect that. the astroturfing only works on some people, not everyone.
>>729205304because we were here before you even heard about this website
>>729206661Your average JRPG lets you win just using the Attack command and throwing Items to heal occasionally.
>>729206607the tga sticky when e33 announced goty
>>729206421the difference is staggering, E33 is the most inauthentic and astroturfed game in a while thoughbeit
>sold more than recent final fantasy >loved by the japanese >loved by a lot of people embarrasing
>>729206661Act 3 was too much of a slog, so I respec'd to a one shot build. Fuck having to constantly parry Clea and just fuck Simon in general. Get hit with 111 million damage, bitch.
>>729206421>https://arch.b4k.dev/v/chunk/728138691/500/58/>E33 being announced as goty is hardly even noticeable, no anons are celebrating>click to next page>mega man must have been mentioned on the stream>so many "MEGA MAN?!?!" hype posts>completely mogs the reaction to E33 announced as GOTYL M F A O
>>729206950we already knew it was winning goty since the day the game came out. it would've been like me gloating that i was able to beat the shit out of a 10 year old.
>>729206987slow year for games
>>729206917Wasnt the game patched so you couldnt use exploits to get those numbers, as well as to overall nerf the numbers of Maelle's Stendahl so it doesnt do as much damage?
>>729206987surely if the game was so good and revolutionary and a return to form for the wokaloid westurd industry, anons on the video games board would be celebrating?
>>729207093the game was heavily demoralizing for the 90000 rapejeets paid 9 rupees to shill jrpgs
>>729207093surely if you weren't a buckbroken darkie you wouldn't be spending hours of your day every day seething about a game you lack the human soul to appreciate?
>>729207137>>729207149January 2026... I am forgotten...
>>729204210That doesn't really seem significant.
>>729207043Nope. I did that a few days ago, after the most recent update. There are other super bosses that can't be one-shot because they have the equivalent of multiple health bars. I didn't bother with those because I am not a masochist.
>>729206661Not even that. The game is a breeze on expert if you do anything but play through the main story. Doing any side content at all makes you overpowered and there's no need to minmax, just reading what pictos do can make you broken. Even the casuals on reddit tell you to rush to the final boss on act 3 because he's gonna die in one hit if you do any side content at all.>but I wouldn’t call it easy eitherI would.>or master dodge/parryParry can be hard, perfect dodging too, but regular dodge has such a massive window to become invincible that even game journalists should be able to avoid at least half of all damage on a given fight.
>twelve people farm clowns for free steam points>vee: I can make ragebait out of thisYou can find ANYTHING but videogame discussion here
I have never seen a game generate this amount of seethe before, y'all are fuming. And criticism isn't even good either, it's legit "too angry to generate cohesive thoughts" kind of posts, it's the definition of cope
>>729206987yup /v/ was defeated when the french were winning at the start. compared that with elden ring where people saw ER as a mean to beat GOW2>>729207037this is the real answer outside of e33 there was nothing "big" or important
>>729207185you faggots have called it FOTM for 8 months now. just two more weeks and it'll be forgotten, kek.
lmaoooo
>>729207043Doesn't matter, I'm>>729206530and I'm staring at Clea now. I almost got her killed by stunlocking with Verso's sword that limits his max rank to "A" and his ability that re-stuns. I alt +f4 because I didn't even see half of her attacks as she literally never got a turn after the first stun. Now I'm debating how to restrict myself to have some fun. This game has been completely broken and I've been restricting my builds since the second half of act 2 at least, it was clearly not playtested beyond the first half.
>>729204308expedition 33 didn't come from a highly successful series.
has an image ever generated this much seethe amongst the marketerjeets?
>/v before 2025 game awards"Awards don't matter dorrito pope lol">/v post game awards when 2 tileset Castlevania NPC simulator got raped):<
>>729207470this image has caused much more seethe
>>729206421kek holy shit, it's the most marketed game of all time
>>729204676we liked it when it came OUT, shill.you niggers spent MONTHS shilling against it after everyone was praising it.>>729207476>/v/ before 2025 game awards>"lol">/v/ after awards>"lol">shills before and after>"SAAAAR why is /v/ like X?

>>729206421e33ers arent real gamers. simple as.
>>729207798you and you alone
I already gave E33 a bad review when it first came out because I don't like it
>>729206421biggest exposé ever
>>729204308It's a chinese astroturf. They can't even fix the minimal ai art because the shill budget bled them dry.
>>729208047>>729208270buckbroken
>>729207798Both ff have better narrative than sars obtuse
>>729204308E33 used AI in literally everything, Elden Ring was hand crafted by industry experts including best seller writer George R. R. Martin.
>>729208308someone needs to edit this so a tumbleweed rolls past
>>729208330[citation needed]
>>729208364>George R. R. Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including those of the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire—A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragonshttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/233901/george-r-r-martin/
>>729208419That says nothing about E33 AI usage.
>>729208308you can feel the foam in their mouths when you posted this pic lmaoabsolute mindbrokenalso that square tranny seething in this thread LMAOOO
>>729208496Because that doesnt need a 'citation', its a known fact by now.
E33 could have used a scene of Lune getting dehydration from explosive diarrhea in a field
>>729206421>>729208347
Nah these square trannies are something else man lmao
pure comedy lmao
>>729208710KEK
>>729204729Literally the opposite. Elden Ring beat God of War and Horizon. Most of E33's competitors were either small scale indie games or niche games for a cult audience.I think E33 is a mid RPG in a mid year for games. I only disagree with the indie awards.
>>729207798brutal
>>729208842As naive as AI hardliners are, equating gen AI to square's Lip-Sync ML is disingenuous.
>>729209562not that luddites know anything about it
E33 haters got destroyed
>>729205146Surprisingly insightful post besides the retardation because it pokes at the absolute most damaging bullshit in anti-AI discourse, that being no one is going to give a fuck about nuance at all.AI is already roughly at a point where, if revised and disguised competently, can be completely unnoticeable. On the flipside, it's also becoming harder and harder to even distinguish it at all in the most dire cases, so now you have more and more retards basically pointing at everything being AI, like that whole Fortnite incident with the Marty McFly spray, or the Blue Prince shit.No wonder more and more game devs, indie and AAA alike, are just throwing their hands up and embracing it; they won't escape it anyway. Actual artists now have a fucking stupid burden developing where they'll have to constantly defend their output against cloutchasers, trolls and the morons they enable. The industry giants can probably handle that fine since normiea don't give a shit, but this shit is going to cripple poor and solo devs who either attempt to embrace some use of it or get Blue Prince'd and fucked by a shifty rumor or accusation instead.Funny, just like that the anti-AI crowd gets jugglrd around by higher powers into destroying the indie space a bit more versus the AAA space. What a fucking clown show.The cat's out of the bag and there's no turning back. The pro-artist crowd needs to find a healthier relationship with the technology before it eats them from behind. There has to be a compromise somewhere where the anti-AI crowd can maintain their defense of artists without succumbing to retard bandwagonning brain rotation that will ultimately just turn them on each other out of paranoia and righteous shithead fury.
>>729204210Will they?>>729204563Is it?
>>729207470>final fantasy series>*30 years agomove on gramps
>>729204210I have no horse in this race. I just want the industry to lose.
>>729211819>china is bottom tier at optics>but also they win every single award, they publish games that everyone talks about, but some faggots on youtube you could scrounge together don't like itGod, your entire country got raped in front of you, and all you can do is post some pictures of irrelevant people complaining that the dick is too thick.
>>729211828>saar accept the poono
>>729211993>he's a janny toolol we'll just repost it. you know that. tencent plant bitch Cry, Chang. They couldn't even finish the base content to BG3 they spent so much on botting shills and bribes. And for what? Nobody gave a fuck then. Nobody gives a fuck now. The idea of anyone caring about Divinity enough to justify that astroturf campaign is laughable.
>>729204308>And don't say "because Expedition 33 is a nepobaby industry plant UE5slop womanslop".
>>729206421China will always be bottom tier at optics.
>>729206950You lost
>>729212494>almost an entire decade out of dateOh man you've been losing for a decade, imagine when you have been losing for two. Imagine when China takes over the entire games industry with but a pittance of investment, an investment that cannot be matched by the ENTIRETY of western games development. Pathetic, pathetic.
>>729212008>saar accept the foggy colorless one button spam HBO-GoT-inspired "final fantasy">YES DADDYany game that lights a fire under square's stale ass is good in my book
>>729212769china doesn't post the new numbers because they are wasting even more money today
>>729213237>no data>but now everything china has a hand in wins every award on the face of the earth and is reported to sell millions and millions of copies>chinese-tailored and chinese-compromised media tops every chart>china wins every discussionSounds like china just wins. Every time. Sounds like their pivot in propaganda investments paid off majorly. Sounds like the weak west couldn't withstand the power of the People's Engine.
>>729204308because Expedition 33 is a nepobaby industry plant UE5slop womanslopplooks like you knew the answer
>>729213308>nobodys heard of the games anyways >>729212519>lies about budget>lies about sales>net negatives so extreme, they'd be laughable if seenYour inflation rate is 0.7% Wong. lol
>>729204308all races and iq's could enjoy elden ring, E33 is only for white people
>>729213378But nobody sees them. Nobody speaks against it outside of a handful of nobodies on youtube. China's narrative IS the narrative that anybody that doesn't look too closely follows, and nobody looks closely. You think you have seen past the curtain? Maybe you have. Who follows your flag? Nobody, you sit here and ban evade on /v/. What support have you gathered?
>>729213461>China's narrative IS the narrativeAnd like all your narratives, it's a failed one that could not even generate 100k more sales after the game awards bribing. Absolutely hilarious
>>729213521No no, don't dodge. What support have you gathered? Where's your great wave here to defend western games?
>>729204210And eventually these reviews will get culled by Valve's algorithm detecting periods of off-topic reviews or review bombing and the people who left the negative reviews will forget and move onto something else. Nothing ever happens.
>>729213620You fund both ends. Promoting ESG in the West, while banning it on your own projects.Here is the proof.There is no dodging. You have been spreading lies and propaganda on this board for over 3 years and have been exposed the entire time. You'll just have to deal with it.And no, it's not "one ban evader" we are collectively calling you out like you deserve to be.
