only half an hour in and goddamn this is the game of the decade. music and storytelling are off the charts
>>730735407>only half an hour in and goddamn this is the game of the decade.I swear to god this is everyone that is praising this shit. They play for an hour tops, and go watch the rest of the game on youtube while acting like they had 400 hours in it. It's BG3 all over again.
>>730735407Shut the fuck up shill.
>>730735407Buy an ad, Patel.
>>730735407You haven't even seen the best part yet
>put vocals in a world map themefucking disgusting
>>730735407I thought the same. Nobody makes games this good anymore
>>730735540spbp>>730735501also this
>>730735612>put vocals in a world map themeS0VL
>>730735612>put vocals in a game>it's not even a real spoken language, just gibberish made to sound old and sophisticated This shit needs to be an actual crime.
>>730735687this is why nobody will remember that shit 10 years from now, and everyone will remember this for a century. I liked E33, but the music is definitely subpar, I don't understand all the hypehttps://youtu.be/cMBMtEoQ_Dw
>>730735797Sorry, i don't play Cringe chinese cartoon games
But anon, don't you know? Liking E33 makes you racist!
>music and storytellingI'm sorry, you said this was a "game of the decade"? Yet had nothing gaming-related to praise about it?
most astroturfed game of the past decade
Ban these threads. Along with CP 2077 threads.

>PrologueGreat and sets the mood>Start of Act 1Great>middle of Act 1too goofy and lighthearted>end of Act 1Great>Act 2Great>Act 3Meh
>>730735540Why do you think this is shilling?
>>730735501>They play for an hour tops, and go watch the rest of the game on youtubeShow me one other game that has a 15+% completion rate on the final hardest superboss. People did actually play this game and liked it.
>>730735558Why would a jeet be shilling a White game made by White people for White people, featuring White people as the main cast?
>>730735895The gameplay is fun. It's just not particularly new, complex or interesting enough to talk about much.
>>730735407>only half an hour inFirst couple hours of story sucks in a vacuum though. Its only good when recontextualized with le epic twist. Act 1 taken at face value is generic move game #38272. Don't get me wrong I like the game and I think the intro serves its purpose but I think people mind trick themselves into retardation because of the popularity.
>>730736608>the pajeet recoils>sar i have been found out...
>>730735953If it's that easy why don't AAA companies astroturf their games in the same way?
>>730736957The setting and the way it's set up is genuinely amazing. I honestly felt the twist kind of weakened that if anything. Not that it ruined the game or anything.
>>730736779Malenia is at 36%>b-b-butSimon is easier to cheese than Malenia before you say anything
>>730737008>still no reasonWhy do you think the OP was a shill instead of someone who played the game and was impressed by it? And why would a pajeet even be shilling a White game?
>>730736779You can easily cheese them with a little bit of thought, but even easier if you use a guide.
>>730737125what are you trying to prove ?
>>730737125Does E33 have mimic tear?
>>730737125All right. Fair enough. Point is that people did like and play E33, just as they did ER.
>>730737125And how much longer has Elden Ring been out ckmpared to E33? And that's me ignoring the obvious fact that most players used a fucking redditor to beat Malenia for them.
is the "ost is subpar" the latest copium?https://youtu.be/L0XAhUI3c6k?t=59https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laIKXA8MGN8https://youtu.be/KbDjPsQJ0TU?t=36https://youtu.be/Rp9fY_5DsRY?t=50https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tllFANkDmA4
>>730737201But you can't do that if you only play the first hour.
>>730737241It has pictos that make you unkillable and it's turn base so you can never fuck up. It's even easier than ER with comet azur
>>730735501That's an hour more than you played it lol
>>730735895Music and storytelling are parts of what make video games video games. Especially music.
>NOOOOO MAELLE!! YOU WANTING TO BRING GUSTAVE BACK PERPETUATES THE CYCLE OF GRIEF, NEVER MIND THAT I LET HIM DIE LIKE A DOG BECAUSE IT WAS CONVENIENT FOR MY OBJECTIVE TO KILL YOU ALL, I ALSO LOOTED ALL HIS WEAPONS FROM HIS DEAD BODY, BUT YOU MUST MOVE ON MAELLE AND BREAK THE CYCLE OF GRIEF (WHATEVER THAT IS)
>>730735407>normalfag that only played 1 game: this 1 game is the best game I ever playedAnd this is how this shit got awards.
>>730737275It's weird that people would rely on a player summon for Malenia when op npc summons already do the trick. Tiche and Dung can solo the bitch, Radahn soldiers stunlock and are RP appropriate.At least with ashes you can say you 'beat her yourself'.
>>730735407Good morning sar.
>>730736000>shills getting lazy already It's over.
>>730737275>of the 30 million copies of Elden Ring sold, ~10 million beat Malenia, and "Most" players so at least 51% so 5 million players were all carried by funny solo malenia man
>>730738259Just wait for the "goty" edition to come out and maybe Sandfalls owner will ask his daddy for another couple million to spend on bot networks.
>>730735407>music and storytelling are off the chartsWhat about the gameplay though?
>>730735407I swear you niggers only seem to care about this game for the "prestige" aspect
>>730737314Before learning that the devs used AI gen I thought that there was something off about the soundtrack, especially because it sounds so generic. Now that it's widely known they went full AI-jeet it's clear that most of the music was composed using AI tools. It wasn't so obvious before because the arrangements and recordings were made by a real musician.
>>730735501Same shit as W3 desuPeople do the baron quest, cream themselves over the writing, then never touch it againAll these games need to do is start strong and they'll win accolades from all the journos who only have time to play 4-5 hours per game. It's no coincidence that Stormveil Castle is by far the best designed legacy dungeon in the game.
>>730738793now that this shithole is infested by zoomers and niggers I cant even tell if posts like this are ironic or not
>>730735407>music and storytelling are off the chartsSo where's the gameplay?
>>730738793>I thought that there was something off about the soundtrackYeah that's because YOU'RE BROWN LMAO and can't appreciate White art.>they went full AI-jeetUsing ai to generate placeholders, then replacing those with human made art isn't exactly going full aijeet.>most of the music was composed using AI toolsHow did they perform the live concerts then?
>>730739065Except it has the highest completion rate and lowest retirement rate of 2025 by a large margin.
>>730735852Jesus christ, what genuine niggery.
>>730739102Most progressive and symphonic songs follow a logical progression that shows the human hand of the composer at work (most JRPG tracks are influenced by progressive rock and cinematic soundtracks). E33 songs change style semi randomly, which is typical of a guy asking the AI to generate new sections of the song.
>>730738553>>730736941
>>730739439>Using ai to generate placeholdersSo they are asking the AI to compose the music then ask someone else record it with a real instrument. Not even the most disgusting AI-jeets would go that low.
>>730739770>>730739961retard
I finished it a couple of days ago. Act 1 is really good but as the plot is revealed my interest declined since it's all fake and I sided with the father more. The combat is good until act 3 when it requires parry for a lot of encounters. It's still a solid 7-8/10 but has some high (soundtrack and art) and low (combat lacks depth, annoying camp scenes, limited world with toy npcs) moments. I think it would be better if this type of story were in a 15-20 hour game instead, kind of like Silent Hill 2.
>>730735852this shit and asians thinking they look like Elsa made me consider asians just being the same shit as indians after all
>>730739460what the FUCK even counts as game completion? i garuntee you those silksong statistics are for beating grandma silk and not lost lace. setting up a fake finish line for shitters doesn't make your game any betterhell e33 blatantly doesn't care about balancing. like at all. one character can quickly unlock knights of the round as a spell and spam it every other round with an easily obtained weapon while the main character is literally given an ability that 1shots bosses after act 2.you probably think that halflife2 would be better if gordon got the super gravity gun in ravenholm just so more people could 'complete' the game
>>730739961That cunt would be as brown as the rest without makeup and dyed hair.
>>730735852>Xenotroon hating E33Probably because it has characters and not anime sex dolls
>>730740628She is clearly East Asian tho.
>>730739770Its called switching between natural and harmonic minor scales.He also uses anti-foreshadowing a lot in general. Like in Lumiere for the root note H there goes D and F# - which makes an ordinary Hm. But then the root changes to G, but the rest remains as D and F#. Like half of music moved to G, half still stuck in Hm.But I don't why I'm trying to discuss music with a nigger.
>>730740729That's what he said.
>>730735407Notice how OP said nothing about gameplay.
>>730740869>>730736941
>>730740139India is in Asia.
>>730735758Nier: Automata is one of the most overrated games ever made.
>>730740471Pretty sure HLTB doesn't have a way to check that people actually completed the game.
>>730739770>E33 songs change style semi randomly, which is typical of a guy asking the AI to generate new sections of the song.Or typical of a composer with zero experience. I have no idea which sudden shifts in style you're alluding to but let's concede that. If this was an artifact of AI, why was it not edited out of the arrangement by the musical director? There are numerous ways you could do this that a professional musician absolutely would have done, by splitting contrasting parts into different tracks and developing them further, including melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and textural holdovers between the parts to add a sense of continuity. If there really are sections with abrupt changes and no continuity within the same track as you seem to think, the only plausible reason the professional director would have left it like that is because it was the composer's intention.
>>730740647>Probably because it has characters and not anime sex dolls
>>730740738You mean basic shit that an AI could easily replicate.
>>730739439>How did they perform the live concerts then?What kind of logic is this?
>>730740958ANd yet the OST is a million times better than AI-Slop 33.
>>730741231That shill literally doesn't know the difference between composing, arranging, recording and performing.
>>730741094He is talking about harmonic changes like at 1:30https://youtu.be/laIKXA8MGN8?t=87He is a complete nigger retard.
Replace v*rso with Gustave mod when?
>>730735558Saar patel is brahmin name bloody bitch bastar
>>730741453The instrumentation change there doesn't seem out of place. The harmonic shit was probably fixed by the music director as the other anon said. That's not what sounds AI-made in the track.
>>730740869>open attack menu>select attack>character does a little dance and BIG NUMBER shows upFucking chimera squad mogs this entire genre
>>730741774The music director didn't work on this track. Only 8 tracks of the OST were re-arranged by a live orchestra.
>>730735852wheres his review?
why did noone tell me sciel is good?
>>730742135Can't be bothered to find it but it's pretentious word vomit that opens on paragraphs of him seething over people liking E33 more than other RPGs
>>730742051Daniel Sicard worked on any tracks featuring a choir lmao. And Alice Duport-Percier has far more musical experience than the "main" composer. The entire narrative regarding the soundtrack is fraudulent.
>>730735407>game of the decade>music and storytelling
>>730735852There is no mention of racism in that post
>>730742891Weeb faggots have to use racism as a smokescreen to hide their tears from E33 stomping "their" slop into irrelevancy, it's a pure coping mechanism
>>730735852this is cringe (as to be expected from a xenoblade fan) but he's not wrong. E33 is made for people who feel too ashamed to enjoy regular JRPGs and dont feel comfortable unless they're playing something "cinematic" and "realistic", despite the fact that this game is about as well written as any average jrpg
>>730742708Daniel Sicard only worked on 8 tracks>The entire narrative regarding the soundtrack is fraudulentWhich is? That the composer was only a guitar teacher doing vidya music on his free time? That was the narrative from the start.
>>730742791did not stop boomers from jerking off FF7 for decades even though it's story is some jap schizo shit
>>730743016*loses*
>>730743093He arranged the orchestra for the tracks featuring a full orchestra. He also worked on the tracks featuring choirs.
>>730735852>this is the taste of a nigger who will tell you E33 is a bad game
>>730743495There is a lot of good games there.
>>730743495pretty good taste actually. I bet the list of an E33 worshipper would be mostly trash like Roblox and Fortnite, in fact, they probably have not even played 100 games let alone beat them.
>>730735407hell yeah dude that’s great. can’t wait til you get to the end and choose between destroying the painting with everyone you’ve been playing as inside of it or choose to keep the painted realm because some parents tried to immortalize the memory of their son in it
>>730743016>Weeb faggots have to use racism as a smokescreenThere was no mention of racism in that post
>>730743563>>730743975LOL>>730744056>He doesn't see the weeb lumping E33 fans with people who hate rap but claim to like Eminem, a common smokescreen used to paint people as racist
>Goty>doesn't censor women's underwear with black blob good times, I remember when Stellar Blade was praised for it and labeled "gooner game"
>>730744524Eminem is the most mainstream rapper. Your comment is typical of a subhuman shill who doesn't know about American pop culture.
>>730735407And it only gets better from here.
It felt like watching Netflix. You guys need to really try engaging with mediums outside of video games.
>>730744524>people who hate rap but claim to like Eminem, a common smokescreen used to paint people as racistStupid fucking zoomer. Eminem has been for 10 year olds since his very first album. It's not about race at all, it's about "baby's first ___"
>>730737125>Simon is easier to cheese than Malenia before you say anythinglol lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6VB0oxVmXAEldentards really believe bosses are hard
>>730735407AI generated Chipotle bowl Israeli industry plant slop
>>730745012I immediately filter anyone that unironically uses the word story as sub 90iq. Every story under the sun has been written, it’s the character and setting that make the experience. Those are sorely lacking in e33 and the experience is quite trite
what is this retarded monster design?where are the rats, goblins, slimes, ghosts, wolves, skeletons, eagles, spiders, ogres, elementals and dragons?
IDF soldiers love this game.
>>730745352>Turn based game>Manual aimingFor what purpose?
I'm a man and I'll admit that I cried playing this game.
>>730745196I think the setting is fantastic and presented really well, but the characters, the script, the set pieces, and everything else that you encounter from the time you boot the game up is typical serial netflix young adult tragedy-wank. It blew my mind after reading the praise here and playing it and all I could think was how average the writing was. It feels like the same "reddit-core" writing that they love to condescend.
>>730745557I mean, you're wrong. Especially compared to the drivel that is "traditional" Jrpgs and their quality.
>>730745557I will amend this and say the final fight with Renoir is a bit too much in the anime department. But the cutscenes and story elements are all fantastic otherwise.
Another game that broke Kojimadrones a new one. This one has parrying mechanics too.
>PLEASE MAELLE, RECONSIDER! THERE ARE PLENTY OF DISABLED PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT WORSE THAN YOU YET STILL LIVE FULFILING LIVES... AND WOULD SURELY NOT CHOOSE THE CANVAS IF THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY!

>>730745468
>>730735852He's right but E33 is still a great game.
>>730745873bro wishes he could make cutscenes half as good as these
>>730745912when you put it that way it seems like a ripoff of tactics advance
La vie nous impose des choix cruels
>>730745912
>>730745352Enemy design is the most unrealistic part, aren't they all Verso's paintings? They should be things a young man would paint
Lune and Sciel are beyond unimportant and might as well not be there. No plot relevance, barely any personality whatsoever, retarded uncanny valley faces and subpar voice acting.
>>730746494well that’s going to happen when the game is derivative/written by a female
>the game>music and storytellingRead a book faggot.
>>730746409they're clea's designs
>>730746635Clea is boring
>>730746494thats the gayest post I've seen in 16 years here
>>730740958>>730741274I do not like nier automata and found it very boring and pretentious, but the music is absolutely wonderful
>>730746579But the game is clearly capable of having characters that aren't incredibly meh. Maelle, Gustave and Verso all have a role in the plot. Monoco is a decent comic relief character with a decent gameplay gimmick. Lune and Sciel just bring nothing to the table and have no reason to be in the game past the beach landing incident.
>>730735852>i hate rap, but love eminemHa, thats so accurate, I like that. Catnip for secondaries, thats what i call it.
>>730745191This.
>>730746852You are soooooo right my dude. Like, who came up with this silly idea in the first place? a "side" character? why would a story need "side" chracters?
>>730745912She's like a tranny that can't deal with real life so she spends all her time in fantasyland and everyone else has to play along.
>>730746852the game is capable but the developers were not capable
>>730745196>Every story under the sun has been writtenPeak midwit take.
>>730741774>That's not what sounds AI-made in the track.What sounds AI-made then? Timestamp and short description.
>>730747101You tell me, I have no clue. They only bring unnecessary bloat to the game. They are a net negative in an otherwise great experience.
There are AI cat videos with better stories than E33sloppa.
>>730746268>shit randomly floating in the background

>>730743495This might be the hardest I've seen one of these faggot gridposts begging to fit in>Go to the original tweet>Other trannies are praising him for having such good tasteYou can't make this up.
>>730747297It's the general lack of silence and dynamism. The track keeps adding instruments but there is no change in the emotion being conveyed. It's quite soulless and any changes in the harmony and instrumentation feel forced, like in the We Are Charlie Kirk song or like in this 4chan-slop classic:https://vocaroo.com/128D0TJi6BhS
>>730748290>like a dozen Sonic games>trying to fit in
