>MixedWhat happened?
Elliot
tasteless fags
>>741504912the name is retardedand it looks like an AA hd 2d title yet its at a premium price point
toillE
>>741504912It's what happens when you make Legend of Zelda but without the branding.
>>741504912>published by nu-square enix>From the makes of bravely default and octopathYa it was going to be garbage
nobody likes zelda when its not called zelda
the og switch 2 demo was kino, what are they kvetching about?
All negative reviews are about performance btw
>>741505427How did they make it perform worse than on the Switch 2?
>>741505380This might be hard to understand, but on PC, this game isn't good enough to be $50.>not even trying to be unique>gameplay is stale>all it has going for it is visuals and (JP) voice acting
>>741505613apparently modern intel cpus are ass and that's where those badf performance reviews come from. With that said, just checking again on steam people that can run it fine are also complaining about the game itself
>>741504912just saw 1 of the trailers on steam and wow the dialogue writing is worse than a YA novel and the english dub as usual was terrible.. turned it off within a minute...poor zoomers have to tolerate such poor quality for their games now
>>741504912>developer claytechworksSO it wasn't even by Asano?
>>741505836oh i didn't buy it because it was $60 so i get that complaint. i'm waiting until it's $20 or $30.
>>741504912Turned out the free heal princess was demo only and in the full game shes gone after the first couple of hours and you need to actually dodge attacks and avoid hits.Shockingly for the modern mouthbreather this is impossible and they are complaining they "didnt sign up for a souls like" when this is a link to the past clone.
>>741505338I mean, kinda, half the Zelda franchise is mediocre and it's propped up by the goodwill from the handful of genuinely great games it has, much like final fantasy
>>741504912It's only issue is that it's super handholdy at the beginning, and the sidekicks never ever stop talking. I get the feeling the direction was "ensure there's no silence"
i played 3 hours of the demo and never experienced an annoying sidekick i think everyone is gaslighting me
What's up with the textures in this game? Trees and stones look like total shit.
>>741504912>retarded name>HD2D slop>just a shameless 2D zelda clone but somehow fails in every aspect >full priced release for an asset flip>overall just painfully boringGod I hope this finally kills the HD2D slop square keeps churning out for goodI really hope that new final fantasy mobile game gatcha asset flip flops so fucking hard they retire this garbage
>>741505376Because retards just don't understand zelda gameplay sucksWhat makes Zelda so good is why pokefaggots buy everything pokemonBRANDING. Without the music, characters and aesthetics, your zelda clone is just a great value version of mediocrity.
>>741504912$60 for generic 2dhd jrpg slop. There's hundreds of titles you can cop for like $10-20 (or free)
>>741506837It's a lot different in the actual game, like it's surreal.
Not enough jeet shills, another generic slop JRPG.Buy an ad
>>741507058You can't just shit out lock and key dungeons and call it a day, generalizing that to "branding" is pretty weak, anon.
This nigga nae Elliot
>>741505976Japanese games all have terrible va, you just can't understand japanese so it sounds less cringe
>>741506954I'll never forgive them for this fucking dogshit game. Pic rel made me sware off SE for good after suffering their HD2D shit
>>741504912It really doesn't seem all that interesting I gotta be honest.
>>741504912"The Adventures of X" is such a cheap sounding title, makes me think of a RPG Maker game made by a 12 year old not something from fucking Square Enix.
>>741505279this cope has existed since the release of the ps1, it's always too expensive when you are poor
I'm not buying a game that has puzzles "push this object to x", you can't be so lazy to make puzzles like that in 2026.
>>741505376People love Okami tho.This game is just shit.
Good, this will mean the game will drop in price quicker.
>>741505836>This might be hard to understand, but on PC, this game isn't good enough to be $50.Pretty much this. It's an indie game being made by AAA developer.
>>741504912Has any dude named Elliot ever won?
>>741504912It's a $30 game priced at $60 so people expected a lot more than what it is. If it was priced appropriately it would have a better reception.
>>741504912I saw a review that said it's the bread sandwich of zelda-likes. Couldn't be more accurate desu.
>>741505376I just played the classic Zelda games. Zelda is fucking dogshit. Literally just a worse Metroid in every possible way. Crazy that it's so popular and Metroid is niche.
>>741509830Eliott Sadler won a few Nascar races.
I saw this but I believe it got no marketing, I was considering getting it but it also felt off.
>>741506840Horrible.
>>741505376watch out you're going to piss off botwcultists
>>741504912>$80 CADSquare has lost their damn mind
>>741505279Why the fuck does she keep releasing 70 dollar 2d RPGs pretending like they're some premium experience? Crazy. Anyway, will wait for the 5 dollar steam sale.
>>741509534and those games always ended up in a bargain bindon't rewrite history
>>741506840first HD2D game?
Elliot you should grab that key. Keys open doors, Elliot. That's why I think you should definitely pick up that key. Look over there, it's a door with a lock, which must mean you can use a key on that door. Locks are on doors sometimes and they may require a key, which is convenient since you just picked up a key to unlock the door. Maybe if you put the key in the lock you can unlock the door and continue playing the Adventures of Elliot: The Millenium Tales!
>>741505976the traingle strategy dub was one of the most terrible in recent memory, wonder if this competes with it.
>>741504912lmao, thats funny. glad it flopped
>>741504912Whoever at CS5 is in charge of naming games…please stop. Give your job to someone else.
A lot of these complaints are clearly from people who haven’t even finished the demo. I agree that it’s probably too expensive but it does feel like an older Zelda title but with weapon variety.>Elliot is a generic nice guy!! Why isn’t he le complex antihero!>The fairy spoiled that obviously bombable wall!!!!
>>741510668The fairy is annoying mate. It’s been nearly 30 years since Navi you think developers would have learned that lesson by now.
>>741504912game good now
>>741510365You'd think a Zelda clone would've learned from Fi
>>741510783Fi was at least fuckable.
HD2D is cringe
>>741510869you shouldn't kiss swords, you'll hurt yourself
>>741509460Can't be worse than "Various Daylife"
I wishlisted it. I'll buy it when the price is right (around 20€)
>>741504912>HD-2D action RPG
>>741504912People report game is broken on Intel CPU. Once you get fairy companion framerate drops from 120 to 40 fps. SE still have problems with PC optimization, it seems. Anyway demaning 60$ for pretty short pixel retro jRPG is quite retarded. Should be 30$ or better 20$ max.
It costs twice as much as it should and ships with malware.
not turn based
>>741510532it sounds cool to the japanese 冒険家エリオットの千年物語
>a bunch of third worldlets complaining about pricethis is about steam reviews, brokies. you need to have already bought the game.
>>741510760filenamethen it's a shit edit
Well for starters who the fuck is Elliot
How is the actual game if the performance issue is neglected?
>>741512498cool sounding english name to JOP
>>741512435You can play a game then think it's asking too much for what it is, dumbass. Greed will kill you eventually.
>>741512435its 80 dollars
>>741512435The only people who accuse others of being poor for not frivolously spending money are poor people.
>>741510668>probably
>>741512521It’s basically like an old Ys game
>>741512813this is not sounding good, everyone hates old ysthough, how old? felgana was okay i think, though it was not that old
>>741510125this looks like an ai produced phone game ad
Sex with cats
>>741506734the best final fantasy games arent even half as good as the best zelda games
>>741504912>bro what if we made a bad classic Ys game
>>741513057faggot
>>741509460Evergreen.
>>741509534ps1 games look better than 2DHD dogshit.
>>741504912Should have made triangle stratagy 2 retards
>>741510050metroid is just a lame backtracking simulator that is mogged by any mega man game.
>>741510752Navi never solves puzzles for you.Fuck, neither does Fi.
>>741504912The reviews literally tell you why.But, for me, it's that the story is plain as fuck and the gameplay is unironically for babies. The demo was an aggressive waste of time. I could feel myself becoming more of a failure in life by playing it.
>>741506840been that way since octopath.these games are made for tasteless people who never played old 2D on 3D background games.
Its super safe and comfy and that pisses off puzzlefags
>>741513942Every game they publish has to have a bizarre spiritual relationship with Final Fantasy, which isn't really necessary.
>>741514067nah 2d metroid are good
>>741506954How many hours you play?
>>741514267why yes I love piss easy platformers that waste your time where all you do is bomb walls.
Denuvo zealots?
>>741514468you have to pay to review a game on steam and if you buy a denuvo game and then cry about that you are kinda gay and retarded.
>>741504912What the fuck is this?Why is it so expensive?
>>741514404there was some okay robot bosses in metroid dread
all they had to do was add an option to disable all the baby-mode handholding/tutorializing/backseating and it would be a solid 6/10
>>741504912>Focus, E
The gameplay is just walking around pressing X to attack, I'd prefer a turn-based party system over this
>>741508979That game was awesome and it's a damn shame there is no sequel.
>>741516371posted it again award
>>741516371I wish she stopped at "focus, E". That bitch and the fairy just do not shut up.
>>74150491280 CAD$ for a top down ARPG with less content than some 20$ indie games in the same genre is an insult.I'll buy it on a 90% discount
>>741516371I bet if pizza pasta man played it, it would be more popular.
>>741514108>he says while posting on 4chan
>>741517104I only realize those feelings after closing 4chan.
There is the “game gets good 20 hours in” memeBut this is the first game where it’s “game gets good after reaching the ending, and when you start going for the true ending”. I was really hored by the story and was shocked how well they managed to tie all the plotlines together
mfw YOU CAN TURN THE PARTNER CHATTER OFF IN THE SETTINGS
>>741517985Except you can't. You can only turn down how often they speak. Now unless you mean to completely mute the voices, sure I guess that's an option.
>>741504912what kind of title name is that
>>741504912Cute fairy onahole, I might play it later.
>>741505876It's clearly some kind of bug in the game, modern Intel CPUs are perfectly fine for gaming
The entire point of the time travel gimmickin games is the creative changes they make to the overworld, Chrono Trigger being the quintessential example. The fact that it literally doesnt change at all is completely unacceptable, and I even like the game otherwise. They make you literally run all over the same exact overworld with extremely minute changes. Even having to revisit every dungeon with 90% of it locked off just for 1 single crappy item to 100% the gameI genuinely believe the game originally had a season-change mechanic but the game was too short, so they rewrote the story to be about time travel so they could quadruple the “content”I believe this because there are 4 eras you visit and every era has a different time of yearUnacceptable from a 60 dollar game
>>741518197one for a more supreme kind of gentleman
>>741505876>we can render the physics of every strand of mustachehair on a revitiligo queer transwoman at 60fps but a 2.5D PSP looking ass game is stutteringShut up man
>>741518276
>>741518591Ew, why are a man and woman holding hands. I thought Square-Enix was better than this.
>leave a guy in a cabin with a catgirl for 5 minutes>he immediately knocks her upWhat the fuck
>>741504912Fairy voice pretty annoying JP dub is a bit betterWish i could mod her voice
>>741508650knowing japanese just makes you hate eng dubs more
>>741518591cute fairy feet
>>741519032>ass, tits, thighs, tummy all visible >goes for the feet
>>741509460I was planning to use that title for the published version of my WN actually.Something like[Main Title]: The Adventures of [Hero], According to [Support]Makes way more sense in context.
>>741504912>$60Why the fuck would anyone pick this up when games of the same caliber consistently release at or below $30? Squeenix is just like nintendo, they know come release day a horde of retarded fans will line up to over pay just for the privilege of looking at the game in their library.
>>741504912it's a gay faggy zeldalike instead of something actually good like a jrpg, srpg, or even arpg.
Why does there have to be loading screens when you enter a small cave or single-roomed exits? I know they're fake and I'm loading in instantly so it's just there to prevent me from playing for 3-5 seconds, I'm being punished for exploring an optional route.
>>741508979that game is great, wtf are you talking about faggot
>>741504912
everybody thought it was a sequel to elliot quest
>>741504912tastelets and brokies filtered, it's a great game
>>741518964And nobody here knows jp.
>>741504912The game is alright but it's honestly really lacking considering that this is their big foray into an Action RPG.What I want to see from an Asano ARPG is a game with a deep class system and significant abilities to customize your playstyle, instead most weapons in Elliot feel absolutely fucking terrible to use but hey you can slap on a +10% damage modifier when sucking goblin dick but only if they are a yellow goblin.All I'm using is the spear, not because I like the spear but because it just mogs every other weapon to death.
>>741522408This game probably entered production around when XVI came out.
https://www.metacritic.com/game/brave-fencer-musashi/critic-reviews/
It's less Ys and more Zelda.
>>741522408based and spear pilledall my homies hate the hammer
>>741523065sry, wrong link. fuck journoshttps://www.metacritic.com/game/brave-fencer-musashi/user-reviews/
>>741504912It is just not that good.
>>741524351Let your thread die in peaceful you sad little samefag man
>>741504912the title and logo is so fucking bad lol
>>741522408>most weapons in Elliot feel absolutely fucking terrible to use but hey you can slap on a +10% damage modifier when sucking goblin dick but only if they are a yellow goblin.just outright making bullshit up, I haven't come come across any modifiers that are species specific, nonetheless that level of specific>All I'm using is the spear, not because I like the spear but because it just mogs every other weapon to death.I will agree the spear is the best though (so far, I haven't gotten the chain sickle yet)
>>741504912I don't want play this game because the Elliot name
>>741525425>just outright making bullshit up, I haven't come come across any modifiers that are species specific, nonetheless that level of specificTaking things too literal is a sign of autism
>>741504912Can they just... stop with this 2dhd shit?it doesn't look better than normal pixel visualsit tanks performanceit makes all games that use it look the exact sameit's literally just an excuse for corpos to sell you a 10 dollar indie lookin ass game for 70
>>741522408Bow mogs enemies harder than spear. Deletes bosses in seconds
Isn't it just because the PC version has performance issues? The game itself is being well received
I haven't seen anyone post gameplay and that is never a good sign
>>741525981It's price point is too high for what it is. The release still has performance issues in some locations. The gacha magicite system for weapon skills isn't particularly liked. The overworld map is relatively small and it's a copypasta job across each time period with small changes.
>>741526075game has a 5 hour long demo thats been out for a monththe fact that the people complaining aren't posting gameplay makes this entire thread seem extremely astroturfed
>>741510125What the fuck is happening here?The first Octopath Traveler looks leagues better
>>741513942Dishonest framing. Squaresoft is on the left minus Dragon Quest (which wasn't developed by Enix anyway), not the same thing as Square Enix at all. Basically comparing a small to medium sized developer to a giant publishing mega corp. They are not Squaresoft no matter how much rape Squaresoft's old IPs, once you realize this then the this image makes 100% sense.
>>741526403But is that what most of the negative reviews are about, or is it mostly the poor performance? I was hoping to pick this game up on sale because I liked the demo
>>741526075you overestimate the amount of anons that can into webm
shill replies irrelevant: put up or shut up
>>741525559fuck off retard, there's a difference between exaggerating and making shit up
>>741504912>named Elliot >this is the magical kingdom of Philadelbia I never quit and refunded something so hard.Terrible book cover - I don't care about the book
>>741526549It's a combination of reviews and my own experience. It's a decent enough game but it has a few drawbacks and lacks polish. Wait for a sale. It's not as fleshed out as other HD2D games
>>741504912I've played it for 3 hours today.Its been great so far. Knockoff LTTP basically. Not as good as the original but I'm not sure why it would be mixed reviews.
>>741526981It has mixed reviews cause the game sucks and you have shit taste, anon.
>>741504912Too many faggots went in expecting something it wasn't, i imagine.
>>741504912It's a children's game.
>>741513942>games on the left>developed by various teams>games on the right>all developed by Team Asanohuh, that's a real head scratcher
This game has really poor rewards for exploration. Every chest is>Heart container (best case scenario)>Tul>Magicite>And the worst one of them all, abilities you get from Magicite, and they tend to be very crummy too (why)Such a weird game.
>why isn't blurslop selling???1
>>741527053not an argument, I accept your concessionyou are also a homosexual.
>>741527276maybe team asano should get their shit together
>>741527362simple. no culture war internet marketing like mina the hollower, a far inferior game both visually and technically.
>>741527473What is it about Asano games that mindbreaks you so hard?
>>741527735most people don't like mediocre games
>>741527735The majority of this board is mindbroken by them. It's honestly quite fascinating to see.
>>741527783First of all you're subhuman so not "people", second of all OT2 is the finest JRPG of the 2000s
>>741527860>OT2 is the finest JRPG of the 2000s
>>741527396So be it. I am a homosexual.
Team Asano has never made a good game except Bravely Default
>>741529909>Team Asano has never made a good gameexcept all the games they made
>>741529989I don't like their other ones they are boring
>>741504912it runs like shit so ignore all comments about gameplay or story
I think you have to play it on very hard.its interesting when you are dying in 1-2 hits.
>>741505376Everyone likes dark souls though.
looks like elliot is the second best selling game on the eshop
>>741527860lol
>>741532090I'm playing it on very hard but it's really a force multiplier, if you already find the game boring getting sent back a minute or two kind of feels frustrating and like you're wasting your time
>>741512435Cool then is it a 100 dollar game for you?
>The adventures of elliotThe thought of twenty 50+ year old boomers all in a conference room coming to an agreement that this is the best, most marketable and most exciting game title they can come up with is just so funny to me, and if they genuinely expected that this was going to sell they are giga retarded and should probably kill themselves
>>741505376Okami is a better Zelda game than the zelda game that was out at the time
>>741533834hell noOkami is one of the most overrated games of all time
>>741533721nice file name tourist
>>741533721Square enix for you. Flopped and slopped
>>741533721Square Enix doesn't think at all
>>741504912It’s a great $20 game. Alright $30 game. Terrible $60 game.
>>741513942>Various DaylifeThat's a name I'd expect from some mobile shovelware trash on the app store.
I kept hearing about this game, I thought it would do a lot better. The goyim turned their heads away from this slop.
>>741504912>Woke EnixNot buying
>>741510243Square Enix are not fond of huge discounts for long periods of time. I've been waiting for Harvestella, Valyrie Elysium, and NEO:TWEWY to go for under $15 for like 5 years now. They just did a discount from the usual $23 to like $18 recently though
if you read the reviews you'd know it's about some bug about FPS lock.The game is fineTheo other issue is that it's expensive af so there's only 5k players, but that will be solved because it'll go on a 50% discount soon now that it has flopped
why hasn't squeenx been able to make a good game since nier
>>741535358pretty traditional hero story however.even has pro-monarchy themes which is rare for a jrpg.
