alright, the shills won. i got the game and i am going to play it and post screenshots here and tell you guys if it is worth the hype.lets see if its just a shill campaign or is the game actually good.
>>729296258Don't, it's a trap.The game is a hideously ugly UE5 asset flip. Nearly every asset is purchased, there is zero optimization, and the animations that weren't purchased (combat) are awful.I cannot for the life of me understand the praise, it's total kusoge on the level of 2 dollar games on steam made by schizos.
>>729296567Fucking C O P E tendie
The game looks like it was made from AI concept art. It's just a bunch of stuff.
>>729296258I’m playing through it also, it’s a great game
>>729296637It works honestly. The game has a weird Alice in wonderland vibe so the surreal landscapes of floating rocks and nonsense kinda adds to it
>>729296567>hideously uglyFalse. You are brown.>asset flipYou don't know what that word means.
>>729296567>hideously uglyYou are brown
>brown hands typed these words
The year of fake indies is over.
not your blog
>>729296637It's not AI, it has no cohesion because the assets were all purchased from different plugin packs. So was all the movement and vaulting which is why it looks so shit.
I have 4 hours playtime and will never go back to it, as a FF fanboy
>>729296567DELETE THIS SAAR

>>729302028>The way he swings the weapon around and draws back, but it's all so he can slam it into a flashy pose where he holds it up impressivelyFucking lol.
>>729296258If you don't get past 2 hours in playtime you can always refund 50 bux.
lmao
>>729303257I don't think you understand just how FRENCH this game is.
>>729296258>attention whore>on 4chan>on Christmasask me how I know you are brownE33 is the single highest rated game ever by user scores on metacritic so your opinion is irrelevant
>>729303769I'd rather see some random dude blogpost about his playthrogh than e-celeb thread #65148. At least this one is video games.
I hope OP starts hating the game, if not he is a confirmed paid shill
what the actual fuck?
>>729303526How can anyone praise this game's visualsFucking look at his head
>>729304216That was also my reaction The game is fucking bizarre and not in a good way
Alicia > Maelle since SHE'S FUCKING RETARDED
shes going to fucking die isnt she

>>729304375she looked better on my PC. What settings are you playing on?
Ok I am playing on a laptopThe actual game on a good PC is probably prettier but I can already see the quality
>>729304375the game is not meant to look like this wtf is going on
>>729302028you can rely on sound cues instead of visual
>>729305202he's brown and poor
>>729304375update
Enjoy the terrible twist OP.
Why do the French talks like theres dicks in their mouths while trying to speak german?
>>729305374>terribleit was kino twist
>>729304274we own jensen's gpus and play at white resolutions
Why not play a video game with actual gameplay instead
ah.... so thats why its called expedition 33.
>>729302990>>729303257>>729303526>>729304216>>729304375>>729305312Are you from SEA?
>>729305475turn based combat to difficult for you?
>>729305556korean
>>729302028I genuinely laughed out loud for a good 30 seconds when I found this guy. Based frogs.
is gustav a fag or some shit? why arent he fucking her?
The game is based in unexpected ways. No woman goes without male supervision for more than five minutes. And when they do it's because they are having extreme woman moment or in total panic until male arrives and assumes leadership roleAmericans could never make game like this
I like it, but something makes me feel like we were getting at least 10 games like this a year in the past (PS2 era) and now we celebrate when ONE (1) AA game manages to achieve this bare minimum entertainment and artistic value
>>729305908That's because it's true.Majority of the games for the past few decades have been soulless dogshit.
can we fuck Maelle in the game?
>>729306015MC can have sex with two female party members, but not Maelle
>>729306074mother fucker
>>729305607Timezones don't quite match.
>>729306115I hate womaniggers so much it's unreal
>>729306174Nah
>>729302028>ridiculous unrealistic windups>jrpg garbage gameplay>retarded big number damagethis game looks like pure ass.
>>729306595>>ridiculous unrealistic windupsthat's the joke fight you autismo
how does the whole parry thing work
>>7293066671. parry has exactly the same window as PERFECT dodge, so if you consistently get perfect dodge go for parry instead2. on parry you get +1 AP3. if you parry all attacks you can counter-attack(for some attacks you only need to parry the very last attack)
>>729296741the one secret gamedevs don't want you to know>no cohesion to your asset flips?>just claim its surrealism!
>>729304504FSR/DLSS hair looks like that. It's why hair looks so weird in some of the third party Switch 2 games.
>>729306660its totally something they do throughout the game though too just not in such an exaggerated manner.
Is it true that french women are smelly?
>>729304957>The actual game on a good PC is probably prettierIt isn't.
>>729302028This is a joke fight in the new content meant for a laugh. You just have to parry 3 hits at all, not win a fight and he endlessly attacks so you can do this.You faggots are sensitive
>>729306786The game is actually full of references to art
>>729306990No, vast majority of attacks have proper windup and they don't make fakeout attacks
>>729306660NTAEvery attack is like thatYou can lampshade something all you want that doesn't make it okay
>>729302028Post that enemy where you have to dodge to win
>>729306786It’s genius. Square Enix would stumble over themselves trying to set up this world. E33 has one 20 minute tutorial and then your just exploring and leveling like an rpg should be.
>>729307114That's just a blatant lieThe fucking dodge tutorial with the first attack you ever receive is a big overly elaborate flying spin with no anticipation to the attack itself, they let you know right from the rip they don't know how to properly make attack animations.
>>729307129>Every attack is like thatpost webm or youtube video of more examples from main game
>>729296567>m-m-MUH ASSET FLIPliterally what the fuck does this even mean>b-b-but they didn't scan every rock and record every sound aaaaiiieeeeeeeI mean what the fuck are we even talking about herewould you rather they never release the game???have you never heard of the expression "don't reinvent the wheel"?you can't even claim that reusing assets breaks immersion because it's literally unnoticeable even by you autistic fucksyou just want something to complain aboutI have never played this game but now I want to buy it even more just to spite you retards
>>729306074I thought it was interesting how the story handled the obvious sexual tension that always exists between hot daddies and teen girls.Sciel literally jumps the gun and fucks Verso to protect Maelle after realizing the research autist wasn't going to do the needful and Maelle was in heat. Is this my headcanon? Yes, absolutely. However, it is also absolutely realistic. Whenever an established and attractive 30+ year old male is in contact with a teen girl, sex is basically guaranteed unless the male can resist OR if an older female cuts in line and fucks him before the inexperienced teen can seal the deal. If Sciel hadn't cut her off, we would have got incestkino.
>>729307190what the fuck does that have to do with what i said, shill or bot?
>>729307394bro delete this, it's full of spoilers
This game is more proof that people and gamers resonate with solid character writing and story telling more than anything.Ff7REtards don’t understand why their super pretty game sold like shit (no one can relate to multiverse weeb shit)
>>729307110references to something deep and meaningfulin an attempt to seem deep and meaningful itselfpathetic.
that was the fucking TUTORIAL?fuck it i am playing the actual game tomorrow, its like 2 o clock here
>>729303526Do yourself a favour and turn off the post processing.
>>729307283>what does this obvious phrase mean!?!?!?!?It means the game has no actual art direction.It is a mish-mash of generic purchased assets from the Unreal asset store with zero cohesion, including all of the running and vaulting animations.It is an extremely pretentious version of fucking Only Up.I cannot stand people praising this trash's looks.
>>729307664>including all of the running and vaulting animationsCOULD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK ABOUT RUNNING ANIMATION?!
>>729307632it won all those awards for a reason. there's AA eurojank in it but it's pretty kino.
>>729307757It won awards because for some reason games journalists always have their dumbass minds blown by baby's first matrixNier Automata sucked dog dick, too, and that didn't stop it from winning awards.
>>729307841nier automata rocked. i prefer the og nier but it was still a great game.
>>729307841care to name single better game released in 2025? I'd like to laugh at you
>>729307916You're free to think that, but you're wrong.It's terrible as an action game, it's terrible as an RPG, and it's incredibly stupid as a narrative.
>>729302028at least someone agrees that Margit ruined souls games
>>729306595>intentionally ridiculous joke boss>KEK LOOK AT HOW RIDICULOUS THAT IS THE GAME SUCKS LMAO

>>729302028>There are people that can't tell this a joke
>>729308559
>>729308580>>729308532>actual defense forcelol
>>729296567It literally is. I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment and I preordered it. Played 10h, completed 37% but it's just too fucking bad...The combat UI design was good tho. But the story super pretentious and the gameplay a fucking slog. Turn based, deliberate action. Fun if you're fan of soulless-like games I guess but as a RPG it sucked.The overworld was empty as fuck, and the asset re-use INSANE. Saw the same fucking nigger/kongo drum scattered EVERYWHERE. It "takes inspiration" from Nier but really just copies everything in an inferior way. The world design is fucking atrocious, you have the same 2-3 splitting paths with deadends that hold absolutely nothing (but the reused fkn assets), just so it "wouldnt be linear :O"The map sucks balls you don't even have one at all times which requires you to navigate these artificial, nonsensical paths that just take your time. There was and still is a MASSIVE shill tsunami to astroturf this turd. The goal is to make this AA-shit the new norm, and for every retard that shills it other studios (their greedy execs) are making comparisons between their own soulless slop and this soulless slop with known VAs and asking wtf is the difference? All you need is a proper botnet farm to manufacture reviews and the NPCattle will follow. All it takes for most "people" (if we may even call you stupid goyim that) is some form of event or movement "Oh all these people say it's awesome, that must mean it's fucking great!! Cant wait to play" - Goyman pRedditson who is pumping ip the idea in his head to the point where he'll gloss over all the negative bits just to fit in with the crowd of bots.
>>729307632Technically, it was the prologue.You still have a few more tutorial blips and the maps start opening up after you get your second party member (like literally in the second non-prologue fight). The little tutorial pop-ins only show up when new stuff like specific afflictions proc.
>>729308841>The goal is to make this AA-shit the new normI wish it was norm and not what AAA slop is being produced
>>729307940I actually liked bloodlines 2 alotSilksong is obviously better even if it isnt worth so much hypeHades 2 was probably the game I spent the most time on of games that were released this yearHonestly metal gear delta was more fun and less ugly
>>729309212I do like the parries in jrpg, they definitely need more of that, but in a pretty game with interesting characters
>>729307227kill yourself those are MAELLE'S attacks. the tutorial enemy is this one.
>>729309517nta but I wouldn't consider this a "normal" tutorial boss since you're not forced into battle with it.Just an earlygame challenge more than anything.
>>729308653>be retard>fail to recognize a joke due to your retardation>people point out it's a joke>call them shills
>>729310202yeah, i meant lancers in general, and other starting enemy types.
>>729307664>It means the game has no actual art direction. >It is a mish-mash of generic purchased assets from the Unreal asset store with zero cohesion, including all of the running and vaulting animations. That's not what an asset flip is. Try again.
>>729308841>But the story super pretentiousBrown, daddy issues or both.>and the gameplay a fucking slogFalse.>The overworld was empty as fuckIt's supposed to be more of a world map that only serves to travel between locations than an actual world, so being empty isn't really an issue.>the same 2-3 splitting paths with deadends that hold absolutely nothingFalse again. Basically every dead end has an item that makes the detour feel worth it. Some of the late game areas are also relatively open, Sirene being probably the biggest example.>The map sucks balls you don't even have one at all timesSpoken like a 80 IQ subhuman with no spatial awareness. No actual human being needs a map for these areas, and not having one helps with the whole expedition into uncharted lands vibe.>There was and still is a MASSIVE shill tsunami to astroturf this turdI see this said constantly but no one EVER elaborates on why massive AAA companies don't run similar campaigns if it's that easy and cheap. Maybe the game is simply great and people want to talk about it.>The goal is to make this AA-shit the new normAnd who is behind that? AAA companies? Why would they want that? Also, is that even a bad thing? The best games are made by small groups of people who get funding and creative freedom.>All you need is a proper botnet farm to manufacture reviews and the NPCattle will followAnd why didn't Ubisoft do that for ass shadows this year? Or sony for yotei? Or any other AAA company for any other game?>you stupid goyimGas yourself kike.
