It deserved the goty award
>>729435887>Excrement 33 deserved the GOTY awardNo, it did not.
>>729435887It's popular so of course
>>729435887i liked silksong much more but its understandable why mainstream audiences prefer a "real" looking game
>>729436032Pure qualityslop. I talken with one of the faggotspedition 33 retard the other day and he said he only liked it for the gameplay, music, character, and story. Fuck man. How low have we fell down
Graphics and gameplay are also amazing.
>>729435887i agree
You know /v/ is dead and it's corpse swarming with indians when there's so many threads praising a mediocre fifteen hour long on linear final fantasy clone made in UE5 with genned assets where all the budget went into mocap and voice acting because it won dorito pope's awards
>>729435887Goyslop of the year, indeed.
>>729435887of course it did, the only people who disagree are silksong trannies
It deserved to be forgotten after a week

>>729435887Clea deserved the GOTY award
Post the gameplay
>>729439793This is the gameplay, literally just waifu adventure simulator
>>729435887masterpiece. hands down the best game ive ever played.
>>729435887KCD2 did
>>729439821holy smearing and ditheringhow did this shit win best art direction
>>729440856In all fairness, i am playing the game with scaling because i can't run it at full rendering, so that is probably the source of the graphic issue
>>729439793Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pge23LnP1mw
>>729435887Focus, M.
>>729440856
>>729440960This would be a decent point but you cannot even turn off this upscaling bullshit and the game is badly optimized even with it being forcefully turned on so...
>>729441206i believe you can? I am not entirely sure but you can switch the options to AMD and then set the upscaling to native which is 100%, so basically no upscaling, i just switched my options and it looks better but its making my 1080ti heat up really bad and i am in the middle of 30c summer
>>729441287I do think it looks pretty good
>>729435887
>>729439753This, the only flaw with the game was we didn’t get more clea
>>729440534Boomer will look this person in the eyes and say buy less avocado toast. Njgga, I promise you these people ain’t eating avocado toast
It was the most casual friendly game so yeah makes sense
>>729441710after the prologue e33 doesnt really have that many cutscenes, every crpg ever has more dialogue
>>729435887awards*
>>729441710E33 combat is actually pretty difficult and would filter most movie game retards
>>729441567I am convinced that Lune was actually supposed to be Clea but for narrative reasons they changed them
>>729441828>>729441935t has more to do with cutscenes being the bread and butter of the game. I didn’t add Uncharted because its USP is massive interactive set pieces.
>>729435887Why do women want to exterminate without seeing? Another one from today
>>729435887Shame about the shit gameplay. It's just quicktime events from start to finish. Parrying isn't a fun mechanic.
>>729442151Because of the little kid, of course.>>729441453
>>729441567You can dress Lune in Clea clothes, give her Clea haircut and have Verso have sex with her
>>729442257You can also download a mod which swaps lune's model with Clea'sWould recommend for a second playthrough
>>729441710But e33 literally fixes all the issues those other games had
>>729442016Gustave is Maelle's pseudo brother that sacrifices himself for her sake (Verso), Lune is an pragmatic protege of her parents (Clea) and Sciel is a grieving almost mother (Aline). The party is just Malle's panted version of Alicia's family.
>>729436001Yes, it did. Nice video btw. You're really athletic. Also, it's spelled Expedition.
>>729442436What the fuck... No wonder Gustave is so similar to Verso, Lune to Clea and Sciel to... Aline(?)This is so interesting.
>>729442626>Sciel to... Aline(?)Mother that lost her child.
>>729435887not really no.
>>729440856Because art direction is not the same as graphical quality. The art direction is great, even if the implementation falls flat due to technical reasons.
>>729442626That’s just anons head cannon, you could maybe argue based on some context clues that they were going in that direction but scrapped it, devs have confirmed that the in game characters aside from Maelle and verso are their own entities/painted people
Verso is one of the best written characters in gaming
>>729436001Pretty spry, all things considered, you should be proud. Most guys your size never leave the couch.
>>729442826You could make an argument that all painted people are based on Aline's lived experiences that she paints into the world as different expressions and individuals.
>>729435887Maybe in bizzaro world.
Both Renoir did nothing wrong
>it's good because I can't call it tranimeif this game was exactly the same with a typical JRPG artstyle would be call it 4/10 weebtrash.
>>729443247Anime is shit not just because of artstyle. It's garbage because of the dialogue, story-telling and characterization, which is infantile as fuck. Blow it out your ass.
>>729435887Correct. The gameplay, story, characters, music are all superb. The games does need a better UI however, I dont know what they were thinking there.
>>729442079you got it backwards, as someone who only plays games for the gameplay uncharted has unbelievably shitty gameplay whereas e33 gameplay is fun enough to carry the whole game
>>729443391>muh le grown up JRPG thanks for proving my point, normalfag. kys btw and happy holidays, do it a tub so your relieved parents can save on the cleanup.
>>729443517you support kalergi plan and illegal immigration occupation
>>729443804I support Lune giving me a footjob after which I cum on her face
>>729443247If it was JRPG Alicia/Maelle would be romantically interested in Verso and you know it
>>729441710>80+ hours of content>6 hours of cutscenesTruly a movie.
>>729443980Clea was 100% fucking Verso inside the canvas, that is the real reason she is so upset and angry, her literal boyfriend died. That's why she wants to destroy the canvas.
CAN /V/ STOP THINKING ABOUT INCEST FOR FIVE MINUTES
>filenameok ladyboy
if the main audience seems to think something is good, is it really that hard to accept that it is well made for that audience and thus a good and successful game?/v/ is like those "high culture" artfags that insists that stuff that is obviously garbage to the vast majority of people is amazing and people outside of their tiny elitist bubble are just uncultured swines and what people in general like is garbage since it doesn't conform to their more refined tastes
>>729444501C'est impossible ne penser pas à l'incesteYes, i learned French from this game unironically
>>729442391How?
>>729441935>E33 combat is actually pretty difficultYou ask the casuals on reddit and they tell you to avoid all side content until the post game because exploring even a tiny little bit might make you one shot the final boss due to overleveling. In fact balance already goes to shit during the second half of act 2 but it's not like it was a hard game before. I had the bandaid 999999 damage cap active and used 2x enemy HP and there was still no threat. I'm now struggling with the Simon fight, but only because I'm going out of my way to ban strategies that would either one shot him or not let him have a turn. The fact that you have to severely go out of your way to avoid breaking the game means there's no fucking way anyone thinks this game is hard and there's also no fucking way they playtested this.
>>729435887what caused the entire fattendie spicjeetnigger cult to seethe and develop an axewound armageddon against this game?
I reunited Clea with Francois
>>729435887>best performanceOver DS2? Not really.>best art directionThis is a fucking joke, the art "direction" in the game is low fidelity visuals caused by UE5?>best indie anythinglmao>best GOTYIt's a shit game, your choices mean fuck all and the only way to play the game is to just beat your head on the bosses over and over until you memorize all of the attack patterns. This is also why, instead of getting a game over, it just dumps you right in front of the enemy so you can try again.>>729436032Is that why Astro Bot won GOTY last year?
>>729437109No. They're weebshit worshipping animetroons
>She gives you this look
>>729445551>the only way to play the game is to just beat your head on the bosses over and over until you memorize all of the attack patternsThat's just the easiest way to get over a wall, memorizing patterns and dodging (way easier than parrying) everything. But the other way once the damage cap is lifted is to just make one-shot or stunlock builds.
>>729445649it's strange honestlythe only people who were mad at this game were weeb trannies who were also final fantasy and nintendo fans and used silksong, hades and sonic to push their weird agenda
>>729436001SLAY THAT DRAGON
>>729445746>once the damage cap is liftedThat takes longer than most of the people who "voted" for this game played it for. By that time you're conditioned to just "play" this parryslop game the way it was intended to be played.
>>729442436>>729442626>>729442682Wait until you realize the family members represent the stages of grief.
>>729443980>your brain on tranime
>>729435887I don't care about Expedition 33. All i'm happy about is that Kojimbo and KCD2 got blown the fuck out and won nothing and that's mostly thanks to E33 so they're okay in my book
I love this gameI love its story, gameplay, world, characters, music, toneI think it's GOTYI think it's GOTDI despise its fanbaseI despise video essays about itI despise the debates about the endingsI despise the AI and nepobaby controversies
>>729446290Myself also my fellow /V/eteran
I dont see how anyone could hate this game. Its a fresh IP that experiments (successfully imo) with new mechanics. The story/cinematics rival every movie that's come out in the last 10y. The music is fantastic. Their concerts are all sold out across Europe right now and its their 2nd or 3rd tour. Can Silksong or KCD claim that? On top of all that, with all their success and acclaim the game is actually on sale. Leave it to incels to hate the only non-greedy company trying to do new things.
>>729445426The antisocial rejects that make up the bulk of the neckbeard e-samurai fauna are as divorced from society as they are from reality, viewing the former to be a manifestation of the latter. Refraining from any sort of social interaction for years has rewired their brains to put the brain circuits initially meant for friendly competitive experiences in the of service flaming and "winning" scub wars, as the gratification they get from their chronic hentai consumption wanes with time and so here they find themselves seeking new ways to fulfill their biological needs through indirect means.You can enter every Expedition 33 thread and expect to see them trying to derail it among the first replies, invoking the silliest fallacies to stain the game. Notice how they never criticize the numerous flaws the game has and always resort to jeet-tier arguments.
>>729447131>I dont see how anyone could hate this game.I'm playing because I like the story and visuals, but the gameplay is too easy to break accidentally and doesn't appeal to either turn based lovers since the easiest defense is action based dodging, or the action lovers since parry and dodge are completely binary options since unlike a souls game you never face multiple opponents and never have to deal with things like distance or terrain. If you don't like the story and visuals I can see someone being puzzled as to why anyone would ever like this game.
>>729447131>The music is fantasticit's just sad piano and violin
>>729447131these kids are either trying too hard to fit in, or simply want to pirate board culture for their crusadeShadows made up a nigger samurai in medieval japan which was total bullshit and deserved all the hate it got, but having token diversity npcs (that get killed off anyways) isn't a reason to hate a 30+hr game with a correct price and none of the usual cancer that plagues gaming like micro transactions
>>729447838Varva lied and spit at playerbase face though
>>729447131Music is mid desu but the game times it perfectly each time to great effect. I really don't understand the people who listen to it as a playlist let alone attend concerts
>>729435887well obviously, did you see the shit they nominated for GOTY?fucking reddit knight 2 lmao
>>729436135>playing games for qualityNGMI
>>729435887LMAO at the seething this one line generated. Like posting "it's OK to be white" in a leftist forum.
if this game is so popular then how come there's hardly any porn?
>>729447948I initially thought the music was generic hollywood crap for the most part early one, but now I just think it's just very uneven. Most of it is just sad piano and violin like the other anon said and I forget what it was like as soon as I close the game, but then others just get stuck on my head. Considering the length of the soundtrack they did a good job. Definitely less generic than Silksong's soundtrack, more generic and less memorable than Hades 2, but I'd rather listen to it than listen to Hades 2's so I guess it deserved the award.
HE BUCKBROKE BILLIONIS
>>729448371BILLIONS, EVEN
>>729448270game has good variety of music(170 tracks overall and they are not just sad piano and violin, Hades 2 and Silksong both have ~50) and highs are really high
>It seems my superiority has led to some controversy
>>729435887>क्लेयर ओब्स्कुरः अभियानः ३३.jpgFinally some proof that only browns love this slop.
>>729448572>170 tracks overall and they are not just sad piano and violinLooking at the soundtrack as a whole I agree, but consider what you're listening to in acts 1 and 2 most of the time as you explore. It feels like most of it is just sad piano and violin while playing. They also made baffling decisions like having this banger:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3WHa1gDNQMonly play as a regular encounter track in very few optional post-game encounters most players aren't ever gonna see, and even if they do they'll probably kill the enemies before they even hear past the intro.
>>729448238It's not that popular it's just california leftists circle jerking eachother
>>729435887yes, but mainly because this has been a weak year.
>>729448891Forever pissed that Monoco has an absolute banger of a song for his theme that's really different from most of the soundtrack, and you get to hear it for all of 20 seconds in his incredibly easy intro fight
>>729448985>It's not that popular
>>729449173this stops being impressive the moment you realize more than 75% of the game's sales are on steam (and from chinks hence the peaks)
>>729449165You also hear it in a random endless tower fight that most players will never do.

>>729449741I know and I don't care, sometimes you need right tool for the job
I'm convinced most of the haters played the game for a few hours, discovered they couldn't parry for shit, and then sperged out as cope
>>729449843using the word "parryslop" is their equivalent of the immunity dog against being called a shitter
>>729449843why would you ever parry when dodging is way easier? outside of a few fights like Clea of course
>>729447131The issue isn’t about Clair being a good game. The issue is weebs are having melty because they feel that it’s existence overrides all the games that laid the foundation for it’s existence in the mind of normies. Though I think that’s a bigger indictment of JARPIGS in 2025 than it is about EX33. But weebfags don’t wanna have that conversation since gatekeeping the normies out takes precedent.

>>729450005>>729450049See, this is why I think the combat was poorly thought out. If you're never taking damage, it doesn't matter how much damage you're doing (unless the enemy heals) as you're eventually gonna outdamage your enemy anyway. In that case, dodging for 2 consecutive turns might be easier than parrying once and give you even more AP (extreme case of course, just an example). If you're good enough at dodging, having a good build doesn't matter for anything but speeding up fights. And the dodge timing (not perfect dodging, regular) is so easy for most story fights that I doubt anyone is getting filtered even on expert.

>>729451773E33 also has much worse reviews from China than from any other country. This is pretty much a rule for most games that were made in any country that isn't China.
>>729451340>how a normal number of user scores look likeYour IP is showing, Sanjay-kun.
>>729435887Just beat it, and I agree, very good game. Though its a bit dumb it got 9 awards. The indie awards it got are total bullshit, and kingdom come feels more fitting for best RPG, though RPG (like everything in the videogame industry) is a poorly defined term

>>729442436Yea this was part of the plot. Every single person in lumiere was painted by aline. One of the reasons why Maelle(Alicia) didn't really fit in, as she said, was because she literally didn't belong and was painted over without really matching the painting.
>>729441609I mean, she could have saved enough if she fried her own potatos and nuggies but sure almost nobody is eating 15 shekels cado toasts these days
>>729441453Makes me wonderThe entire world of e33 was painted by a kid with minor additions afterwards like the nevrons and the axons.I wonder what somebody like aline or renoir would paint on their own given their skill and experience.

>>729453293Clea painted half the world with Verso, the nevrons were added much later for the purpose of kicking Aline outIn fact i have recently realized that Clea specifically HATES the expeditioners because they are Aline's creations in the painting, so the VERY LITERAL conflict between Nevrons (clea) and humans (Aline) is depicted in the battle and killings between the two.If you meet Clea's reflection or whatever called the lady of the sap she outright tells you that she is doing this to protect what her brother created, what THEY both created.So yeah there is definitely more going on with Clea than what we are shown and she very clearly deeply cares about the canvas, i just think she is hiding her true motivations
>>729435887Yeah the writing is really top notch. I love the way it only has 2 settings: boring family heavy handed melodrama and shitty reddit "relatable" millennial writing.
>>729453798La famile ce complique...
>>729453472Interesting but my point is that the painted world was painted by kids, sure clea was older than verso then but still a kid.My point is how would an adult actually paint a complete world on their own compared to what kids didWould it be more complex? More creative? Would it lose some creativity and be more functional because the lack of child like thinking? Would it be bigger or more focused to whatever tast the painting was made for?
>>729453798you must be a lot of fun at parties you aren't invited to.
>>729453972Why do redditors think shit like this sounds witty?
>>729451491why he has an ass for a nose?
>>729453798It's telenovela-tier writing.

>>729454075No wonder women and 40 y/o numales love it
>>729454262this except browns. if 4chan was still White you would have a hard time finding a negative post about E33.
>>729454262my anime image board is so reddit
>>729454197I haven't seen any pro-E33 fag defend the baby tier gameplay, most of the thread is talking about presentation, plot, soundtrack, or arguing about AI.
>>729454379>this except browns.The later flood of underage third world brown kids who don't actually play video games but pretend to be experts on game design were indeed the second plague.
>>729446290No one asked for your opinion, nigger
>>729454437it's a fucking jrpg. most of the discussions about any of them are about everything other than the combat. that doesn't mean the combat is bad at all.
>>729454558i did ask for his opinion. i'm also not sure why you called a blatantly White man a nigger. is that what the kids do nowadays?
>>729454525Anti-E33 jeets won't recover from this
>>729453798>>729453972>>729454142I also reply to myself sometimes.
>>729453798This game lacks any "reddit writing" which makes it to stand out in that regard.
>>729454824But E33fags are browns pretending to be white.
>>729454559>most of the discussions about any of them are about everything other than the combat.I could understand if people were comparing it to other JRPGs but this is about the GOTY award where it was competing with games from other genres. It's also weird that combat and exploration are the least discussed parts of this game considering it's probably 90% of what you're doing when you boot up the game.
>>729454928>it actually brown shitskin that like white man game saaarkek
>>729454910>This game lacks any "reddit writing"Consider actually watching the webm.
>>729454262>Post 2011 reddit immigrantsimagine bragging about being on 4chan for over 14 years.
>>729454974>white man gameAs much of a white man game as anything made by people who've worked at Ubisoft and outsourced stuff.
>>729435887It did. It's the best game that came out this year, but I still hated the story pivot at the start of act 3 and hated parry/dodge being usable on nearly everything in the game. It felt like that core design encouraged me to beat my head into a wall to learn timings instead of backing out to ever change anything.
>>729455045Imagine being proud of being a human cockroach.
>>729455108Look into the eyes of this FEMALE and tell me this isn't a white MALE game
>>729455198>swarthy bitch made via UE5 metahumanSorry, but that's not a character made by white men for white men. This is.
>>729454995If you referring the last part of the webm in particular, then I should notice you that this was not in the script (i.e. "writing"), that was pure improvisation between 2 actors.
>>729455329Source?

>>729455435https://x.com/maxence_cazorla/status/1939738375181017572?s=20
>>729455819>improv between 2 actorsYou dumb nigger, that was the director.
>>729456031But he also was a mocap actor for that scene at the time, so my point stands.
Dorito jew awards are worthless garbage. How did this scammer get so much recognition no one knows. Probably sucked some fat gay jew cock
>>729455260It would have been simpler for you to admit you prefer to swallow cocks as a hobby
>>729435887Correct
>>729456127>so my point stands.No it absolutely does not. You tried to write it off as being something the actors as opposed to the creative staff in charge of the story came up with. That itself would have been stupid because they devs would have had to have decided it was good and left it in. But you're even more wrong than that, because it was the guy in charge of the game who came up with it. Do you have any idea how retarded it is to try to say "The writing in that scene isn't reddit because it wasn't written in the script that the devs came up with, it's something that the devs came up with during filming."? It's still their idea. It's still their writing.
>>729456230>liking Xana>gayE33fags really are retarded, brown, gay monkeys.
Literally what game would /v/ like to pretend won instead? /v/ didn't even play DS2. /v/ thought that both KCD and Hades 2 were wokeshit. /v/ got filtered hard by Silksong and Blue Prince. There's nothing left.
>>729456171you're right, let's pretend awards and journalists don't exist. i wonder what E33's user score ranking is.
>>729456389Xana is a brown demoness you Indian chud
>Yes, why? You talk to her all the time. You guys are alllways talking>And you like when she gets excited about stuff too.Verso seems to keep killing all the women he likes
>>729456389Poor poor jeet is having a melty because everyone is laughing at him....
>>729456459>Xana is a brownThat's a tan. If you want to see a brown woman, then look in the mirror.
>>729456551That's brown, cope.
>>729456497Seething fake person stare
>>729456530>meltyUnderage shitskin SEAmonkey detected.
>>729456551Looks like an Arab
>>729456585>That's brownYes, I know that's what you saw when you looked in the mirror.
>>729442973>You could make an argument that all painted people are based on Aline's lived experiencesMake the argument, then. There's nothing to support it. Gustave and Verso are the only similar characters, and of course Alicia would be drawn to someone similar to her brother.
>>729456657He is probably from Latin America and thinks shades of brown is = whiteI am from Argentina so i am an authority on this matter
>>729456551how am I supposed to sex her if no pussi??? bad design
>>729456739>I am from ArgentinaAnd you're the whitest E33fag.
>>729456437The problem is that no one plays games.>/v/ thought that both KCD and Hades 2 were wokeshitSee, this has nothing to do with the gameplay.>/v/ got filtered hard by Silksong and Blue PrinceSo did the people voting for GOTY awards, wouldn't surprise me if they never even beat those 2 games. E33 feels like the game version of an Oscar bait movie. Both Silksong and Hades 2 are more fun and way harder to accidentally break than E33 in which the devs had to add a damage limit option in an update when they realized even casuals were complaining about the lack of difficulty. But journalists probably played the amazingly cinematic prologue and intro of Act 1, heard the soundtrack and dialogue, and decided it was gonna be GOTY right there.
>>729435887It paid the most for the goy shill award
>>729449590And how does that affect the STEAM player count?
>>729456551>Le brown whore from a dogshit reddit gameJeets are not sending their best I see
>>729444896The masses have never been a good gauge of quality. What /v/ doesn't realize is that the IQ of this site has dropped substantially over the decades, and most of /v/ is among the masses despite picturing themselves as above it all. Some products end up appealing to the masses as well as the discerning. This one managed to hit that note. It's still not for everyone, because of course nothing is.
>>729456791Indeed... being the best is really troublesome.pic rel is me, post yourself and prove you are white right now or stop trying to pin that shitty argument on others
>>729445551>the only way to play the game is to just beat your head on the bosses over and over until you memorize all of the attack patterns...Did you seriously lose to any of the bosses multiple times?
>>729456853there are more people playing this game on pc than what you see on steam.
>>729456947>dogshit reddit gameSorry, sometimes I forget that E33fags don't actually play video games.
>>729457075E33 daddies prolapsed your Hindu bussy sadly i fear....
>>729436402???The game is not fifteen hours long nor is it linear. I guess the only people that don't like E33 are the ones who didn't played it after all.
>>729456970>post yourself and prove you are white right now or stop trying to pin that shitty argument on othersOkay amigo, E33fags are brown.
La vie nous impose des choix cruels
>>729457332Feminine hands
>>729435887The problem with e33 is that it was made by and for white people. This is distressing to the brownoid teenagers on this board.
Obviously /v/ would hate this game. It shows characters experiencing emotions they've never experienced. It has themes of friendship and loss when all they know is being alone. It shows strong female characters which threaten their egos. They literally cant look past all that and experience a fun game
>>729457332>that brown tintHOLA PABLITO
>>729457332Brightening the image doesn't hide you're yellow-brown hands, faggot
>>729457332>He needed to turn the lights on to make himself look whiterNgmi
>>729457332From now on you will be know around these parts as Jeetobar
>>729435887It not only deserved GOTY but GOTD. I know that makes some of you mad for some reason but when a game is good it should be praised.
>>729457436that was my exact thoughts when I started playing this game and why I spend any time in these threads shitting on them.
>>729457436>They literally cant look past all that and experience a fun gameBut you said nothing about the game which is what you spend most of your game time interacting with, you just talked about the plot. Must be fun on youtube though
>>729457403>>729457452>>729457474>>729457490Angry DYEL thirdies.Here's a picture with just natural lighting, and of me squeezing a 140lb grip trainer (it's the only one I had in my gym bag). Now post your wrists.
>>729457332Uh oh melty jeet boy
Why do brown "people" get so mad at seeing white skin?
E33 GOTY, simple as.
>>729456843If Silksong was so hard that nobody could finish it and give it a "fair" review, then it didn't deserve to win. Nobody expects games like IWBTG to win goty.
This is the hottest take I know but it should end all discussion about this "game" once and for all.The game doesn't look good it just has the appearance of a game that looks good. The music doesn't sound good it just sounds like music that sounds good. Same thing for story and whatever else. Hope this helps, try not to dilate on the way out.
>>729458326The gameplay isn't fun, it's just fake fun, like you know all those other fake fun games? like dark souls yeah.
>>729458326I feel the same.
>>729458290>If Silksong was so hardThat's the thing, it wasn't. Difficulty there is about what I'd expect from something like an NES platformer for example, but it's not a super hardcore game like a kaizo hack or an IWBTG fangame. Gaming journalists who vote for awards are just ultra casuals who get filtered by Cuphead's tutorial as this board well knows. I'd expect a game of the year award to be something for gamers, not casuals, otherwise shit like Candy Crush and Windows's Solitaire should win every year.
>>729458214my wife
>>729458626
E33 is this decade's Bioshock Infinite where everyone is sucking its cock the year it released with only a vocal minority criticizing it. Then everyone will look back in 5 years time and wonder what the fuck we were thinking
>>729458529it fits with the theme of the painted world since everything is fake anyway
You know what honestly surprised me? How much I enjoyed the combat. On paper I thought I would hate the idea of adding the QTEs but the whole thing together is surprisingly very enjoyable.
>>729458592Skong is a hardcore NES game that lasts 70 hours long instead of 7 hours long. What TC did is remember "hey Zelda 2 was hardcore when we were kids, what if we made it like that but 10x longer," forgetting that an experience that's fun as a sprint wears out it's welcome as a marathon. Tons of games these days, especially open world games, make this mistake. Runs of the childhood games they're nostalgiafagging for would be considered roguelike length by modern standards, yet they wanna make a game as long as Elden Ring under that same format.
Why is it so obvious all the derangement about this game winning is coming from silksong trannies?
>>729457332what caste is this?
>>729459092Post wrists
>>729458683>Then everyone will look back in 5 years time and wonder what the fuck we were thinkingreminder this is what anti-E33keks have to tell themselves to get to sleep at night after the constant anal ravaging they've received all year
>>729458683Holy fuck you're right. The worship of Infinite was just as comical as this game.
>>729459204no need to samefag.
>>729459183okay Rajesh I'll check back with you in 2030
>>729458995But it's not that difficult. I just think the skill level of the average gamer has gone way down.>>729458738Why though? Every single enemy and boss ends up feeling the same when all that differentiates then is the rhythm with which you press the dodge button. Offense for most of the game is just finding some high damage multihitting move like Lune's lightning kicks and spamming that to sidestep the damage cap. Defense isn't fun, offense isn't either, how is it good? Only thing I've heard is people deflecting to other turn based JRPGs being somehow worse.
>>729459250>everyone that disagrees with me is a tranny, jew, jeet and a samefagYou're doing it for free. At least go on X and grift similar subhumans that cheer for mid games just because they don't have blacks in them
>>729457846I said it was fun. I enjoyed the game. Its satisfying to build each character and theres a not of unique builds. Its satisfying to master the parry mechanics and beat all the bosses that require it.
>>729459395*that differentiates them
>>729459381i'd say it's a date but we all know you'll kill yourself long before then. >>729459417E33 has more blacks than 99% of the games i play though since i refuse to play western games, and it's still 10/10 and GOTD. you lost.
>>729458326>The music doesn't sound goodThe theme song has 33 million plays on Spotify alone. People arent playing the Elden Ring soundtrack like that.
>>729458683>Lumiere=Columbia>Renoir=Comstock>Dogshit endings that jerk themselves off as being deeply philosophicalIt all adds up
>>729435887you deserve the kwaboty award
>game has no fags or tranniesoh i see why some of you "people" are so mad it won lmao
>>729457025Oh right. I thought you were trying to say that some of those players were on gamepass and it's not actually that popular.
>>729459395If the majority of people say its difficult and you don't you're autistic. By that summary you gave on gameplay it can apply to almost every single video game. Every single video game is about learning attack patterns and resistances to dodge and attack the right way. The game had a lot of enemy variety with different move sets. Its very rewarding when you get the timing down, I liked the freedom of making different builds and combos without feeling like I had to min/max just to play the game. I refused to play it at first because I hated the idea so much, then I took a bite and couldn't get enough.
>>729459713But your team consists of 1 male, 1 animal, and 3 females. The teenager female is the actual main character and the other girls are all strong independent women including Lune who actually leads the team after the death of the male fake main character. The 2 males you have are a suicidal dude who gets killed near the beginning and he gets replaced by a piece of shit compulsory liar, while the women are all flawless other than being depressed and having sad backstories.
>>729458326Yeah, this game kind of the equivalent of an oscar bait.
>>729435887I know a game is dogshit when fuckers talk about nothing but it's story, and that's all people ever do when it comes to this slop
>>729459395The skill level of your average gamer has gone way up. The difficultyfag games of the current year are tweaked out cokefiends compared to the difficultyfag games of ages past. Doom Eternal makes Doom 1993 look and play like a joke. Nightreign bosses are a hilarious caricature of the concept laid forth in Demon's Souls 14 years ago. What's happening is that difficultyfag devs are hitting the upper ceiling of how hard games can be, period, before there simply is no market for what they're selling. You've got gimmicks like Elden Ring's schizophrenic difficulty curve (due to its trillion different OP items and status effects) because Fromsoft is trying to keep the infinitely escalating difficultly level going while still ensuring that enough people can beat it to still make money.
>>729459996and i know someone is a niggerfaggot when they come into a thread about a game they hate the entire genre of and act like their opinion on a game in said genre is worth a fuck. kill yoursef
>>729459907>Every single video game is about learning attack patterns and resistances to dodge and attack the right way.Sure, but your response to those patterns and resistances vary. Here the only difference is the rhythm with which you press a single button which is too one-dimensional. You don't have to judge distance, terrain, elemental defenses, status effects, builds, whether you block or dodge, multiple enemies at a time, anything. Instead, if you die to a boss, you try again but this time with a different rhythm as it's easier to learn dodge timing than to change your build.>>729460012That's another thing too. I didn't see as much complaining about Elden Ring's difficulty as I did about Silksong, even though in my opinion it's the way harder game.
>>729460210>I didn't see as much complaining about Elden Ring's difficulty as I did about SilksongThen you are very very very very new here.
>>729460340I mean, people are saying Silksong's difficulty is a reason it didn't win GOTY, but Elden Ring won multiple awards.
>>729452447>E33 isn't a fucking indie gameI kind of agree. I'd say it's AA, but since there's no best AA category, it belongs under best indie, and it's by far the best of the nominees.>Playing it on the easiest difficulty doesn't countI agree. You can do it on expeditioner and expert too.>the oversized heads (caused by the shitty mocap) is also somehow art direction after the fact.Well it depends on why exactly the heads are big. If it was a conscious choice, then it's art direction. If it was an error caused by modeling or mocap, then it's not art direction.>>729452714>Hades 2LMAO>the gameplay is miles betterRogueslop isn't gameplay.>Only on the baby difficulties where anything works. Otherwise you have to grind for hours if you want to ignore parry and dodge mechanics.Nope. You just have to strategise and build your characters properly.
>>729460012In Doom '93 you don't get access to the mobility options/grapple/glory kill system as you do in Eternal. In DaS you don't get access to the faster movement/jump/Torrent/spirit ashes on hand as you do in Elden Ring. Games in the past prioritised spacing, positioning and precise controls. We live in the age of the I-frames and zoomies now
>>729460556Ok but both of those games are objectively way easier in modern times. Boomer game difficulty was all about learning what video games even were and figuring out the controls. Zoomer game difficulty starts at what would be considered troll mods by 90s and early 00s standards.
>>729448797>>729448416>>729448371>Just don't ever compare me to other JRPGs that humiliate my parryslop in every way and shut up and praise my game.
>>729460530>Nope. You just have to strategise and build your characters properly.Liar:https://youtu.be/aviowEjJjgg?si=BzHE1ha_nxn-eaJp&t=317>I simply did not have enough stats to get through this no matter how I strategized or how lucky I gothe spent 4 hours grinding to kill the first boss with no parry or dodge.
>>729460458It was a major reason for why people said SOTE lost out. The base game release of ER was carried by it's hype cycle (which ran out by the time of SOTE) but even then there was a ton of grumbling. Put it this way: zoomies on /v/ invented the word rollslop to describe how much they hated Elden Ring, and in that hate swore off the entire genre.
>>729458326>The game doesn't look goodNah, I disagree. I love E33's beautiful yet melancholic environments. It's on par with the best RPGs
>>729460210Sounds like you just don't like turn based games and I'm not going to try and convince somebody to like a genre they don't.
The funeral for Gustave makes way more sense now that i look at it if it was a funeral for metaphorical Verso, you even have Maelle saying: I will continue the work you started and Lune going: I will finish the mission.It really does feel like passing on the torch
>>729461087>dude, France and stock assets but with floating rocks!
>>729461087
>>729461109In other turn-based games you can't dodge. Losing a fight in a regular JRPG means you change your build, your items, change which moves you use, try to bring more items, anything. In E33 you can do that, but it's often easier to just try to win the dodge rhythm game instead. This game is a glorified Guitar Hero or some other rhythm game disguised as a JRPG.
>>729460745i've played way more jrpg's than you and have been playing them for many more years than you have. E33 stands among the best of them. you're brown, you lost, you got raped.
>>729461465>i've played way more jrpg's than you and have been playing them for many more years than you have.This actually applies to me and I know that E33 is shit. If you didn't learn Japanese to play unlocalized JRPGs then don't even bother replying to me, you filthy casual.
>>729461537lmfao you're the buckbroken nigger in every thread saying this dumbass shit. guess what faggot? YOU LOST. you spend hours every day of your life SEETHING about a game you haven't playedyou LOST AND GOT RAPED LMFAO!
It did not and i won't be elaboratingany award show with a panel is also fucking dogshit cause they go with popular opinions more often than not
>>729461376>muh grorious nipponAh, so that's what this is lmao. Yes anon yes, nobody engaged with any builds or items or team comps or combos or pictos or skills or anything like that. Everybody played the game just going "when do I get to dodge next?!" its funny to me how criticisms of this game almost exclusively come from people who didn't play it.
>>729461087people would've been calling this fucking dogshit in 2006 but i guess it's okay now
>>729461606You're a zoomer mutt that doesn't play JRPGs.>a game you haven't playedI did play it. That's how I know it's shit.
>>729461465And why is that the case? Because everything the game does is better represented elsewhere.
>>729461623agreed, fuck panels. i only care about player opinions. how did the Golden Joysticks which are player voted turn out?
>>729461376It's no different than Elden Ring. Memorize the 10 attacks you need to dodge before you get an opening and then repeat.Also you can just make builds that disable your ability to parry in exchange for defense buffs.
>>729436001Those poor knees
>>729461678you spend over 40 hours playing a game you didnt like? okay retard
>>729461087a picture of the most brown and bland environment i've seen in a modern game isn't helping your case
>>729461678if you played this White mastepriece for 41 hours and don't like it you are a nigger or spiritual nigger. you are a soulless NPC who will NEVER be White.
>>729461738>you didn't play the game!>oh you did? well you must have liked it!Nah, only retarded niggerfaggot zoomer mutts try moving the goalposts around like that. You don't get to pretend that the only valid criticisms come from people who played it, but only up to an arbitrary point. If I posted a save from 15 hours in you'd just be using other retarded shitskin talking points like how the combat or story filtered me.
>>729461823>zoomer zoomer zoomer this is not a game for zoomers you fucking shitskin
>>729461817I'm whiter than you, smarter than you, and play more games than you. You're a zoomer, which makes you spiritually a nigger. Your taste in games is worthless trash and you wouldn't know good writing or game design if it fucked your whore mother in the room next to you childhood bedroom with your poor child PC setup.
>>729461823>if I use these words he'll think i fit in and i belongExcept the desperation is oozing off your nigger skin. The smell is awful. Clean yourself and get off the White man's internet.
>>729461823I often spend 40 hours on a game I dont like. that is perfectly normal and in no way retarded. kys
>>729461890yeah it is, anybody praising this shit game doesn't play many games
>>729461890>this is not a game for zoomersYes it is. You making a Steam account when you were a kid to play CS doesn't change that.
>>729461945i'll happily post it again. i've finished 53 games this year, post your list of 2025 completions. E33chads won. you lost and got raped.
I need a Clea wife
>>729461926You will never be white.>>729462002>Yakuza, FE, nuFFshit and modern Falcom shitThese are the kinds of subhumans that like E33.
>>729461965keep coping shitjeet, my Steam account is from before your village even knew internet existed.you are brown. E33 is for Whites. it's not for you and that's fine.
>>729440856I got Geforce Now to play this game and thought the whole time the stream quality was to blame. No, GFN is awesome, Expedition is just LIKE THAT.
>>729462074>E33 is for Whites.That's weird, because the only white person in this thread (Argentinians aren't white) said it sucked. Why don't you post your hands?
>>729462063>These are the kinds of subhumans that like E33.so much for the narrative that only people who hate JRPG's and Japanese games like E33 i guess, lmao.
>>729462063lol you're getting shit on rajeesh, time to go back to your mud hole.
>>729461902Zoomerchads have dunked so hard on Millennials it's not even funny.
>>729461640I'm talking about my playthrough though. Nothing to do with nippon either as western RPGs exist.>Yes anon yes, nobody engaged with any builds Builds here are just stacking the high damage pictos to make a glass cannon build and ignoring healing as reviving is more efficient.>>729461728In Elden Ring it's more engaging as you can dodge in multiple directions and have to deal with spacing or multiple enemies for example, or identifying which move the enemy's gonna do. Small things like having to back away, stay to the side of a boss or having to know when to attack already make it more dynamic than E33 where it's just you vs a single enemy who announces which attack they're gonna use and it's only about that one single button press.
>>729462137Playing shitty JRPGs doesn't make you a JRPG connoisseur, it just makes you a shit eater. Someone could play every CoD game but it wouldn't mean he knows anything about shooters.
>>729462126i don't need to prove shit to you. E33 already won. Whites already won. you are a soulless 70iq monkey whose ancestors have never built a civilization. you lost.
I can understand not liking the game but if you cant understand why people praise it then I'm sorry but youre just a fucking idiot.Also sequels and dlc simply should not be contenders for goty. Like get real. How is it even a discussion when its "first new game of the decade" vs "shithouse 4" or something?
>>729462246>i don't need to prove shit to you.Confirmed brown. Now and forever. This post will be linked from the archives every time you start chimping out when white people call E33 shit.
>>729462191>Playing shitty JRPGs doesn't make you a JRPG connoisseurdid you miss the part where that's my 2025 completions? i've been playing the genre since the 90s, i've played most of them already. also i challenge you to tell me exactly which games on that list are shit. nightmare impossible insane mode: that you've actually played
>>729462323>did you miss the part where that's my 2025 completions?If you played more than one game in each of those series, that means you like the series, which means your taste in JRPGs is shit. Stop embarrassing yourself, shit eater. >also i challenge you to tell me exactly which games on that list are shit.The ones I said were shit.
>>729462309>when pajeets larping as White people call E33 shit*the anon who is supposedly White hasn't posted his beak btw. only a kike would hate this game.
>>729462384>all white people are actually jews!Okay, ranjesh. Calm down and go poop in the trash-creek behind your hut.
>>729462375that's a riveting larp, now post the list of games you've played this year. this started off with saying i don't play many games. i would bet money no one ITT has finished more games than me this year unless they play 2 hour long indie shit.
>>729461215>>729461671>>729461740It's called surrealism. It merges dreamlike imagery with reality to create bizarre and fantastical worlds.
>>729462268because it IS a new game you fucking retard, holy fuck
>>729462268praising pretentious art shit should be grounds for execution in this day and age
>>729462446>>allnice reading comprehension, shitjeet. i hope an elephant tramples you into jelly next time you go out back for a shit.
>>729462450>this started off with saying i don't play many games.I don't care what other arguments you were having, I said that E33 is a game for people who don't like JRPGs, and given that you play overwhelming shit ones, that's correct. I'm also not a retarded zoomer, so I don't keep a list of games I've beaten every year. Playing a lot of bad games just means you like playing bad games.
>>729462526>nice reading comprehensionThe ones who make you mad don't magically become jews, you dumb like shitskin. Jews and Jeets are the two biggest problems in the world, and you're clearly one of them. Now go take a cow dung bath and pray to your 7 armed lobster idol.
>>729462538you lost, you got raped, you're brown. stay seething. you'll be waking up in a cold sweat seeing this face for decades this game buckbroke you so hard.
>>729462168>E33 where it's just you vs a single enemy who announces which attack they're gonna use and it's only about that one single button press.It sounds like you didn't get very far. All attacks in the late game are combo attacks with multiple things to parry/dodge. And identifying which attack is coming is (like elden ring) most of the challenge.
>>729462630>seethingReminder that only underage thirdworlders say this.
>>729462605>Jews and Jeets are the two biggest problems in the worldif you actually believed this you'd like E33, but you don't because you are a shitskin monkey.

>>729462694>if you actually believed thisI do. And unlike you, I didn't start believing it because of instagram and tiktok, you worthless zoomer mutt.
>>729462519How is it pretentious? The people who made the game seem very surprised and grateful for the response. They had no dlc planned and the game is currently on sale on all platforms. Lol. What do you mean?
>>729459669trvke
>>729461087Agreed!
>Ugly ass characters>Ugly ass environments>Artsy shit>People posting some of the worst looking screenshots i've ever seen just proving the pointby all this logic, eternal sonata should've been GotY when it came out since it was pretty similar but definitely looked 100 times better than this shit
E33 fans: wouldn't you have been happier if it didn't win GOTY then you could have stayed in your little niche without all this nasty attention
>>729462002That is an unhealthy amount of Yakuza in a single year, I sincerely hope you’ve been diagnosed.

>>729463052not even a joke>brown and bloom is good now
>>729453798The game also looks like fucking shit. It objectively did not deserve the award for best art direction. Geoff and his entourage are fucking retarded.
How much longer are they gonna pay shills to shill this crap here?
>>729463052The facial animations are absolutely groundbreaking. The amount of cope in this thread is nutty

>>729463325Settling? For the best cinematic moments I've ever seen in a video game? Sure buddy. Youre the one grasping at "b-but if you zoom out in the open world it looks like ass" Okay, cool. Stay mad.
>>729463001no actually, i enjoy loling at these buckbroken seething faggots
>>729453798>my-face-is-tired-2.0 animations>oh my poor little underdog indie studio have all the the awardsFuck this industry.
>>729461890>the game that won goty isn't for the largest demographic of gamersI love e33 as much as the next anon but you're kidding yourself if you think the game isn't easily accessible to the lowest common denominator.
>>729463325the game does everything well. if you cant see that then you are legit retarded.
>>729463730dude it's a fucking jrpg, there's a floor to the level of normalfag that can enjoy it. "the lowest common denominator" does not play jrpg's, period
>>729435887:<
>>729463052>bloom and god rays suddenly good>corridor maps suddenly good>braindead combat suddenly good>soulless animations suddenly good>blurry UE5 slop graphics suddenly good>...When the fuck did this become acceptable?
somebody besides me remembers eternal sonatai'd sooner replay that than this, at least it's fun
>>729463791First off, yes they do. Second off, the most accessible JRPGs are games like FF7 and 10, and this is like 10 minus the Japanese designs which makes it impossibly easy for normalfags to get into. Third off, E33 isn't a JRPG.
>>729462987get an OLED display, you dumb third worlder
>>729464021Sounds like you dont like video games
>>729464536Sounds like you like shit video games, browncel.
>>729462671>It sounds like you didn't get very far.I'm at the Simon fight.>And identifying which attack is coming is (like elden ring) most of the challenge.What do you mean? "Simon attacks at lightspeed" it tells you the attack, then you press the dodge button at the correct timing. You don't have to identify it. >All attacks in the late game are combo attacks with multiple things to parry/dodge. I didn't say what I mean correctly, sorry for the confusion. You do indeed have to dodge multiple attacks. What I mean is that all you do is press the one single button even if multiple times. Unlike in Elden Ring where to avoid an attack you might stay to the boss' side, or to their back, or try to keep some distance, or stay close, dodge to one side, dodge towards or away and so on. Here it's binary: you press the dodge button at the correct timing or not.
>The real protagonist
>>729462168So during your playthrough you didn't consider moves, leveling, combos, trying different characters, weapons, or anything. You just went from one fight to the next and probably struggled because you hyper fixated on the dodge/parry. Is this the real reason behind the E33 hate? Its just low IQ retards incapable of thought?
>>729461087>>729462921>le floaty rocks>le swirly colors>zomg so purdy!!!!11!!1!!Cool-aid kid levels of retardation, because the game looks like fucking shit. If these are your standards, then Jedi Survivor should be Game of the Century to you.
>Open the unreal engine store asset window>put random object in the world and having them floatingYepp, I'm thinking 10/10 art direction
>>729463791The lowest common denominator is fawning over E33 right now actually.
>>729465331how people don't get it the art direction of this game is ass.
I don't think people realize that it's still not socially acceptable for normalfags to like Japanese/Anime stuff, so they have always been unable to play JRPGs and games like Final Fantasy.With E33 it's now all of a sudden OK for them to play a game like that and this is the first time they've experienced it.Despite the game having the exact same kind of story like Eternal Sonata and that they protagonist is a 15 year old teenager and sharing all the "JRPG/Anime" tropes it's socially acceptable for them to like this game so they praise it... as its their first taste of this kind of game
>>729451491>unironically posting ATP numbersEX33 has around 233K reviews on Steam, 224K of those being positive.SilkSong has 376K reviews, 333K of those being positive.You can see both of those numbers in their respective Steam page.I don't need to remind you that you need to purchase the product in order to write a review.
>>729465342The lowest common denominator is seething over E33 using AI right now actually*
>>729465238If you can't see the difference you're either retarded or lying to yourself.
>>729465238>>729461087>>729462921>>729465534>>729465534>If you can't see the differenceYeah, E33 also has bloom turned up to 11, unlike Jedi Survivor. lmaoThat said, you're clearly the retard, Kumar.
>>729465520That was news when the game first released. The jeets have come full circle."This game used AI for a background texture, doesn't that make you mad? Oh you don't care, well you've never played a video game. Ok, maybe you have but you've never played a jrpg. Ok, maybe you have but this game was made with money. Ok, you don't care but what about the 12 koreans that worked on some animations? Ok, you don't care about that. But what about the AI background texture that was replaced shortly after release?" It means they're finally giving up.

>>729465967Hélas...
The widescale fellation of E33 is, I must confess, a laughable phenomenon to observe.An "indie" game made on a $10 million budget, with a star-studded voice cast and the backing of wealthy investors, while making use of Unreal Engine stock assets - and all propped up by an emotionally manipulative storyline that anyone who's read a book or two beyond the shallow end of contemporary fiction will recognize is trite and mawkish - sweeping every award in 2025 is perfectly fitting.Mechanically, the game completes the illusion. It is a JRPG designed for normies who hate (or rather, are embarrassed to be associated with) JRPGs and are far more interested in an "accessible and immersive" experience. The result is a combat loop that flatters the player’s sense of participation while asking almost nothing of them beyond rhythmic compliance: press the button, watch the spectacle. It's Pavlovian.The narrative is less a story than a checklist of affective cues, engineered to provoke recognition rather than reflection. It's all handled with the kind of solemn obviousness that mistakes earnestness for depth. It insists upon emotion as a substitute for thought.That this design philosophy is rewarded so thoroughly speaks less to the game’s individual failings than to the current critical ecosystem surrounding games. Awards culture increasingly favours works that resemble prestige television. E33's critical success rests almost entirely on an aggressively curated emotional register. Of course, to question the shallowness of such experiences is to risk being framed as elitist, even as the industry openly celebrates projects engineered to offend no one and challenge nothing.Don't mistake my point. E33 is not a catastrophe. It is worse than that: it is exemplary. It represents the logical endpoint of a medium desperate for cultural legitimacy, chasing validation by mimicking the least demanding forms of "serious" art while hollowing out what once made its genres distinct.
>>729466023literally has nothing to do with art direction. are you retarded?
>>729465228>So during your playthrough you didn't consider movesOnly about halfway through, then I had Lune learn her lightning kicks and since each hit was doing 9999 damage which was the cap, I didn't need to care about anything else. Act 3 is a notorious joke as soon as you get painted power.>levelingThis game has a weird thing where you can either skip all enemies or fight everything and you'll still end up at around the same level after a boss. Attributes also don't matter much outside of weapon scaling since most of your HP, speed and crit chance come from pictos. Leveling then is something that happens, not something you think about.>You just went from one fight to the next and probably struggled because you hyper fixated on the dodge/parry.Not much struggling and hardly any parrying. Parrying is too hard for no real reward compared to just dodging. Offense was just spamming the highest damage skills I had after a single round of buffs and defense was just learning dodge timing with the occasional item use to revive the dead as it's better than healing. If I was struggling and had to come up with creative solutions it might've been a better game.
>>729466023>All you really need are jeet assets from the asset store and a AI slop.if it's that easy why has no one this decade made a game better than E33?
Jesus... what a woman...
>>729466293Only bots and retards such as yourself think this is the best game released this decade.
>>729466506heterosexual non-zoomer Whites who actually played the game KNOW that, we don't think it. shitskins like you are irrelevant. you lost.
