>>729521387What lesson?Many studios already make AA games in UE5Big studios didn't learn shit from BG3's interactivity so they are not going to learn anything from this either
Only cattle play this game.

>>729521387>causes weebshits to seethe uncontrollably
E33 is a good example of how games could be made without it being ubislop or an EA microtransaction fest but not like they're the only one. In the end it doesn't matter if there is a huge studio behind it, people just want a good game for a normal price without all the bullshit. BG3 is another example, also things like Terraria or Stardew Valley.

>>729522489which one is it? i find it interesting that even with his supposed -B-illionaire father, he still had to get money from chinks to fund a $10 million dollar game?also even if this were true, only a shitskin has a problem with a White man funding his sons passion project that doesn't involve subversion or faggotry.long story short you are BROWN and you LOST. E33chads aka WHITES won.
>>729521387Improves the soap-opera industry
>>729521387It ended the stigma against AI assets and AI generated stories once and for all.Now that we're collectively over those issues, gaming can be great again with the help of generative AI.
>>729525528fucking kek. the shit you brownoids have to concoct in your feeble minds to cope over the fact that you lost and got raped is hilarious
>>729525615Sounds like [you] are the one coping here.Malding even.It's over. Time to accept your loss.
>>729525528This but unironically. If you use AI and it's not apparent then what's the problem really? If anything it makes the game faster to produce
>>729525692stay seething, shitskin. you got raped and btfo.
>>729525752You're malding because I'm celebrating the same game you're celebrating?You might actually be retarded, my guy.
>>729525872no, you're a false flagging faggot and need to kill yourself.
Pillars of Eternity deserves awards more than E33 despite not winning any in the year it came out. There, I fucking said it.
>>729525976lmao no, PoE is fucking awful
>>729521508>What lesson?Pander to the female streamer audienceSaturate your game with weepy melodrama like a Pixar movie
>>729525942See you're getting emotional because you like a game that's made using generative AI and cope with that.Why can't you admit that generative AI can create some peak video games and move on?
>>729526063In a critical perspective and it trying to emulate an Infinity Engine game, it isn't.
>>729525752i haven't played it, but i find it quite sad that they dress like this and show the eiffel tower in their game. the japaneses don't make their games with stupid clichés about their country. they use their own references and they don't give a fuck about the rest of the world. this thing is just a parody of france for foreigners
>>729521508It at the very least proved that JRPG style games could still be a massive success in the modern day.
>>729526112i don't even have a problem with AI but you're literally going along with the literal fucking pajeet narrative that the story was generated with AI because there was 1 (one, uno) AI texture found in the gameagain, kill yourself. you are probably indian yourself.
I'll go ahead and say the lesson since this board is retarded. Funding many AA size low head count studios is more profitable than funding massive AAA games with orders of magnitude higher head counts. It's also just a generally better strategy of diversification so I'm surprised we've been doing this AAA thing for so long.
>>729526138>the japaneses don't make their games with stupid clichés about their country.Are you serious? Japan loves to jerk off to Feudal Japanese aesthetics and tokukatsu, which are the two most stereotypically Japanese things imaginable.
>>729521387isnt the battle system copied from mario rpgs? say thank you to nintendo
>>729521387single handedly destroyed a 15 years of SE lies about combat systems in jrpgs.
>>729526294action rpgs are gayreturn to turn based
I so desperately hope that 'parry to win' doesn't become the standard for turn based combat systems. I need decision making in gameplay.
>>729526381Action RPGs would be a lot better if they copied Kingdom Hearts instead of Souls. Square had a winning gameplay formula, and then never used it outside of KH.
>>729526486> parry to winUnless you’re parry god that parries EVERYTHING you need strategy and brains to build a party that will deal with enemies in adequate number of turns
>>729521508>Big studios didn't learn shit from BG3's interactivityI mean BG3 was 2 years ago. Big games on the same level take 5 years minimum. I don't think you can definitively say either way whether they learned anything from that yet.
>>729526623On my first playthrough I just slapped every picto that gave a damage modifier and killed most encounters, including bosses, before they even attacked from Monoco station onward.
>>729521508Lesson is you do not need effort. Just make a smaller studio, call your game AA instead of AAA, use Unreal Goyslop 5 assets and win GOTY. I transheart modern gaming!

>>729527009>Just make a smaller studiowhy is this a bad thing
>>729527872Its not on Switch and it came out right after they blew their money on an overpriced console so they could have access to two overpriced games everybody already forgot about. It also released for $50 and on gamepass so its a direct slap in the face for another company to release this much quality for cheap while Ninendos are paying out the ass for products that could have released on their previous console. They also worship Nintendo because "muh grorious wapanese" so that plays into it a bit too.
>>729526234This same issue has been strangling Hollywood for some time now to the point of death. Outside of maybe Avatar, $250m+ budget blockbusters have been flopping left and right while lower budget shit like A24 and Blumhouse horror slop is turning a neat profit because the budget is so low and so it's easier to make the money back
>>729527872>no argumentgame is better than most jrpgs but that doesnt mean its good
>>729521798E33 is not a jrpg and jrpg is not a genre
It's what whites do.
>>729528316You're right, it's a fjrpg.The next natural step in japanese evolution is to become french.
>>729521387People forget this but $80 new games being the norm was all but inveitable until this game blew up that narrative. There will be $80 games in the future but outside of Nintendo games that pricpoint is going to get inveitable pushback.
>>729527803>GOTYGot that right
>>729526181We didn't need e33 to prove that, JRPGs did just fine before E33 was even a thing.
>>729526283You think skinny rice farmers running around wheat fields with a katana is not the japanese jerking off the stereotype
>>729527803You already lost before you began. I'm not talking about the game, im talking about you as a person. You consumed too much of /v/'s shitflinging, you entered the game with a bad mentality and you're just looking to disingenuously shit on the game any way you can, you are straight up cattle and your words are as empty as your head.
>>729525363>spend 10 millions from chinks to make game>still have millions to give to dorito pope to buy out game awardsit's both
Turn based RPGs will never improve anything in the industry>b-b-but muh heckin wholesome chungus frog game-Sorry to break it to you, fag. But turn based shit will always be the absolute bottom of the barrel
>>729530715Not him but I played it before it become /v/'s latest FOTM and didn't like it either, I just don't see the appeal of it.I guess its interesting that there's enemies way out of your league you can kill early if you're good at the combat, but that's about it.

>>729521387as god intended
>>729521387I like this game and think it deserves GOTY, but I cannot think of one thing it did to improve the industry.
>>729532952It set a new bar for AA projects
>>729521387the industry won't learn shit like alwaysfocus groups could never create something like this
>>729528196You lost
>>729534345>You lostBased. I love losing.When does the post defeat rape start?
>>729525976I tried getting into it 3 times and it always bored the shit out of me. Didn't have that problem when I was catching up on the infinity engine games. It doesn't deserve anything.
You have NOT finished the game if you have not beaten Super Simon
>>729534602holy shit are you me? furthest I've made it was past the first town. I still have it on my old harddrive for whenever I feel like trying it again
>>729532952What game truly improved the industry? name oneAnd no, Hollow knight did not with it's low price tag since now there are a bunch of dogshit hollow knight clones
>started at $50 and on gamepass>lots of unlockable cosmetics that don't cost anything>already on sale for $40 >dlc for free that others would have charged forThe devs are very generous, I don't think anybody can try to claim otherwise.
I think it would've been funny if Verso could romance Maelle before learning she's his sister.
>>729530715trvth nvke
>>729532136You lost.
AAA devs getting mass layoffs is my favorite part
>>729525692What is this "loss"?
>>729536092here's a lot of sexual tension between Verso and Maelle
>>729536092but he knew the whole time
>>729527803cant believe you dont know the characters who were just introduced. terrible storytelling.
>proves that the only thing videogame "critics" care about is mocap and voice acting
>>729521387>game pretends to be indie, but is funded by kapler,xbone and the nepobaby directs dad>has movie deal before it even releases>markets itself by being the underdog to exploit peoples hate for the AAA, despite being the exact same as ubislop since all their devs were former ubislop senior devs>industry saving game sells barely 5 mil(counting xbone gamepass) after a year>New dlc drops with the shitty awards and only 20k people on steam even bother to replay itI tried it and it is just a meh game with so many technical issues its laughable anyone can say it looks good. You start the game and have to mod out the asstastic filters and hair artifacts. The UI is absolutely horrondous. The combat ui is visual vomit a la persona. The combat itself is the worst of both worlds aka turnbased and sekirolike. Its unnecessary dragged out due to being turnbased, but has no tactics involved, because parry deals more than any attack you can use. Fights are also so unbalanced its basically oneshot or get oneshot the whole game unless u play on storymode.
>>729538491Even better
Sandfall still hasn't fixed that game-breaking freeze bug.
>>729538732>(counting xbone gamepass)Why can't you lie properly, this is so easily debunked
>>729538926Nah all said there is 100% on point. Fags just fell for easy market manipulation. If anything the director is a genius at exploiting the parasocial feelings of retards.
>>729539608maybe i played it because its good

>>729541156who cares
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.
>>729538925>still

Expedition 33 is a game I feel weird about because I simultaneously think it’s pretty good but I do not understand why it is beloved to the point of commonly referred to as the greatest video game ever made.
>co-owned by the founder>publisher is a private companyAs always, it's the shareholders that kill good games.
>>729521620The game is maximum SOVL tranny>only white characters>memorable story>fun gameplay>zero micro transactionAAA gaming lostThis is the best thing to come out of France since Napoleon
>>729544267>I think it’s pretty goodThis is the only thing you should care about
>>729525976PoE is such a sad game.Yo can feel the passion and work that went into it but it's just... boring.Everything about that game is sterile, the characters, the world, the plot, everything. Such a shame.
