Why did this game have zero cultural impact?
Sex with Maelle
>i hate a popular thing, now give me (you)s
>>744500779>popular
>>744500778based
>>744500779Astroturfed French slop
>>744500675>>744500832Influencing redditfrog posting subhumans into shitting up 4chan with threads about a bad game is a cultural influence technically.
Same reason CRPGs didn't become a big mainstream genre after the entire industry jacked off Baldur's Gate 3 for a year. People did not play other games they just played BG3 and then did literally anything else. Like you even had Owlcat devs or even Obsidian saying they had to have realistic expectations because they were not going to have the hundreds of millions of dollars and manpower that Larian had to spend.Expedition 33 is a fine game but a lot of its acclaim is basically coming from dilettantes whose JRPG knowledge is basically Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Persona 3/4/5 and would be loathe to touch even a fucking Dragon Quest game. It's not going to have broad cultural impact because the people playing it aren't going to actually explore the rest of the genre.
>>744500675The culture promoted is freemasonry and the usual number games you see in hollywood. So literally the same shit.
>>744500675what do you meanit caused so much seethe you get daily threads like this one
I came across an Expedition 33 exhibit in Museum d'Orsay, so I have a feeling it has more cultural impact than /v/ realizes.
>>744501395Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies
>>744500675I've been blowing loads to Maelle's ass like 3 times a week, that's plenty of impact.
>>744500675Because it’s not a game. It’s a movie with QTEs
Because just like most AAA games, it's a just a social event that lasts a couple of months.
>>744500675We're way past monoculture in 2026, nothing will ever achieve as much cultural impact as stuff from the 70s to the 90s.And that's a good thing
>>744500675Part of the greater cultural impact of AI Wasnt this the first game that got it goty award rescinded becuase they admitted using ai?
>>744500675Influential single-player games don't last years like they did decades ago. They last months at most.It's why everyone's trying to get a killer multiplayer game out with continuous cosmetics, unfortunately.
Reminder E33 Outsold both the FF7R games combined and its so far ahead in sales that it will easily outsell the entire trilogy.
>>744500675Because all of its elements were stolen from greater games.
Because it didn't do anything unique
>Brown "people" still seething.
>>744500675Because we consume media faster than ever. Things are lucky to get talked about for a couple of days
>>744502159
Reminder the baguettes and their army of journofaggots will have you believe E33, a game made in the west, is the one to finally supersede RPGs made in Asia.
>>744502076THAT FUCKING GIF HOLY SHIT KEK
>>744502450>finally
>>744500675It didn't though. I was shocked one day when I was in an Uber and one of the tracks from the game started playing on the radio. The music was so peak even normies are exposed to it.
>>744500675It did have someSaw some broad in the office like 6 months ago (I work from home) with e33 keychain
>>744501087Bro, Sir, Saar.1. OP did not post a frog2. E33 is a lot more reddit than Pepe the frog, both in audience and the literal devs.
>>744500675Because at the end of the day, no amount of astroturfing and industry connections can change the fact that this game is unreal engine asset store slop that heavily insists upon itself.
>>744501567https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/program/whats-on/exhibitions/clair-obscur-expedition-33Nah, it's a thing.
>>744500675>Gets grants from the French State>"indie"Hmmm.
It takes a few years for other games to copy yours.Also some chinaslop copy already exists.
>>744500675high system reqstoo expensivecultural impact comes from games that most people play
>>744500675>zero cultural impactif that is true, why is there so much bait in this thread
>>744502076Hi OP
>>744502076based
>>744500779Welcome to /v/
>>744500675Moderately budgeted games now take 5 years to make and you expect everyone to copy it within a year?
>>7445006750 replay value, and the message of the game was "if you are extremely fucked, then fantasies are better than reality"
>cultural impactwhat's that?
>>744500675Define what you deem cultural and who's? Because you and I don't share the same culture. Or did you mean Industry impact?
>>744502450It did,Japanese people can’t write for shit (for the most part)E33 actually had a story that had me hooked from the start. Unlike JRPG niggers who on their hands and knees will promise me “trust me, it gets good 70 hours in”
>>744507225>if you are extremely fucked, then fantasies are better than realityYeah like dude I play games I already know that
>>744507269Cool, so you're just a basic bitch normalfag who happily eats up crap that was designed to make journalists and critics cream their pants.
>>744500675>best JRPG ever was made by Europeans,dunked on all anime garbage designed for retards it broke a lot of weebtroon schizos here
>>744507343Sure. I’ll happily play a popular game as long as it’s well it’s well written and has me hooked.You can stick to your grind fests, and 120+ hours to fight God through the power of friendship for the 500th time.
>>744500675Reddit 33 was a perfect storm of people pushing agendas all centered around winning goty. Without the push for goty there is no real enthusiasm or fanbase around the game.
>>744507442It it "well written"? Sure. It's not terrible. But it's sterile, cynical garbage that just hits the right notes that bring ((((((((critics)))))))) to an orgasm and doesn't have any actual passion, creativity or love for the medium.
It's good, but overrated.The entire industry circlejerks to a single game a year and hails it as a second coming these days.
>>744500675What do you get when you combine asset store -assets and generative AI assets?E33.
>>744507343>>744507529The entire industry is convinced that no one cares about turn based combat, so it's nothing like what you're saying
>>744500675It was embarrassing to see /v/ shill this game. /v/ was in lockstep with reddit and kotaku journalists.
>>744500675It's literally the JRPG for people who don't like JRPG's, I got a friend, huge normy, is a math teacher, who doesn't like any JRPG's, finds them too long, too much to do, too complex, doesn't like reading, doesn't like the turn-based combat. BUT loooves Expedition 33, because he can storm through it and finish it in a day or so, he loves not being forced to do any of the side content, loves not having to read and being able to just listen to dialogue, loves the blocking mechanic because it keeps his attention, and loves just being able to play the game without having to do a character build or put too much thought into it. That's their audience.
>>744507613Yeah yeah, and yet the whole industry fell to its knees and lined up to passionately suck off E33 and the dev team before promptly forgetting it ever existed once the public orgy was concluded.
>>744507684Do we live in the same universe, because just recently the interview E33's director made big news.
>>744507734big news on kotaku
>>744507269lol how low IQ do you have to be to think E33s story is good lmaoNext you say the OST and the world building is good
>>744507758it takes one to know one
>>744507821who the hell else is reading e33 interviews faggot
>>744507771What games do you think have good story? Inb4 xenoshit
>>744500675>bro masonry and gnosticismThat’s already all media.
>>744507846I don't know, you Kotaku reading faggot
>>744507851
>>744500675It's an unoptimised UE5 slop
>>744507734Yeah, such huge news that I never heard about it and none of you bothered to post it in your circlejerk threads.
>>744502382>neglects to name anything unique
>>744507918As if you didn't see the threads seething about E33's director being a contrarian and praising auteur directors
>>744500675Aw sweet, time for the daily E33 seethe thread
>1 year, 3 months, 7 days later>still seething>still lying>still creating false scenarios in their heads
>>744508049>>744508068You know the game really is dead when the discord simps are this low energy and without anything to say.
>>744500675>
>>744508229
>>744500675>game>literally one button movie
>>744508647Proof of you finishing the game using one button? I mean, something others can see, as opposed to things that only exist inside your head.
>>744500675It was played by fewer than 10 million people on a planet of 8 billion.
>>744500675prime fresh pussy
>>744508917Bought.Including pirates and Gamepassers, Family Sharers etc., certainly more than 10 miliion people played it by now.
A lot of follow-up questions in this thread that the OP has failed to answerLooks like he's slinked off with his tail between his legs hahahaha
Reminder that these threads supposedly hit the bump limit every day.At this tempo I'm sure you will get archived at a triple digit post count in, like, 3 days.
>>744500675I liked this game but the way it breached gun and ball containment and then you had all these guys telling you about HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER was a bit annoying.It's a competent game imo, the music and emotional moments are doing a lot of heavy lifting for it.That being I'm surprised no more companies are trying to do something similar. Clearly there's a market for JRPG, but without anime tropes.
>make a chock standard JRPG>add some QTS>add HOT PEOPLE THAT FUCK instead of cringe anime pedophile shit>suddenly become a massive hitWhen will japs realize their aesthetics are holding them back?
>>744507771bait
>>744507918i saw your seething posts about the director in those threads, tendie
>>744500675It did
>>744507529>doesn't have any actual passion, creativity or love for the mediumunlike normal jrpgs?
>>744509749>I just know that on this board full of thousands of anonymous people daily YOU are the exact guy I have a hateboner for today!I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>744501878If you're arguing that this is the case for turn-based RPGs in general I can agree with you, but I don't think it's more true of this one than usual for the genre.
>>744507919name a game that is similar
>>744509816you're not fooling anyone
>>744500675Because its french. The only cultural impact french have brought to the world is a white flag as a sign of surrender.
Why isn't any latest blockbuster and chart topping album remembered month later?
>>744500778Couldn't you just have a fun day at the beach with her instead, anon?
>>744507529That's a strange thing to say, because while playing it I felt the same sense of adventure and discovering unknown things, as I had when I was playing my first JRPGs over 25 years ago (CT, CC, FF7-9, BoF4 etc.).
>>744500675It still makes you seethe to this day. That's enough impact for me.
>>744508929>>744500778she's 16 you sick fuck
>>744510736Legal in FranceEmmanuel Macron met his wife when he was 15 and she was 40
>>744500675Why is she French?
>>744500675It was just a brief moment that had little to do with the game itself. That's why you only see mentions of this game in other JRPG threads to make trouble.
>>744501137>Same reason CRPGs didn't become a big mainstream genre after the entire industry jacked off Baldur's Gate 3 for a year.nobody had made any RPGs since BG3 give it a chance
>>744510823>she
Everything about this game’s design is ai and if you couldn’t immediately tell theres no hope for you.
>>744511137*design and lore
>>744511101Careful, or you'll join Candace Owens in the big retard courthouse.
>>744500675Every character in this game looks miscegenated and queer and the world looks like AI generated noise. It's for women and brown people
>>744510951>you only see mentions of this game in other JRPG threads to make troublethat's not true at allit's just that tendies and anime only fags get mad when you mention this game in those threads, not my fault they get mad
>>744511730It's 100% true. Not even this thread discusses the game in any way. You're just saying people are mad about it. That's how irrelevant the game is and how artificial the cultural push was. Sad.
>>744500675The seethe continues
>>744503957he posted a french game, they're made by frogs
>>744511898It's hard to discuss this game when it's practically flawless. I would have to describe the entire game and I just don't care to do that with obvious trolls on /v/.Play it yourself
>>744511898This isn't an E33 thread, retard. This is an E33 hate thread. Read the OP. Why would anyone waste his time making serious posts in a seethe thread?
>>744511898i already talked about the game in many threads, it's singleplayer game with no new content, what do you expecti just go into these seethe threads which are still being made daily for some reason by people like (You)
My favorite thing about E33 is writing off everyone who whines about it as brown and laughing, it's fun and entertaining much like the game itself!!!
>>744500675I love E33
>>744500675Cope
>gapes every JRPG
>Why did this game have zero cultural impact?You just know who is behind this thread.
>>74451073632*
>>744501137I think E33 is great because it’s a game made by a huge FF and KH fanboy who wanted to make his own FF/KH-like. It’s the kind of game I wished more western devs made when I was growing up. Western devs don’t usually dip their toes in that style of game, and since Japan has gotten worse at making that kind of game in recent years, a western take on it breathes new life into that sub-genre.My only complaint is people who clearly hate JRPGs that suck it off and pretend it’s revolutionary. It’s really not — it’s a game with FF and Legend of Dragoon style gameplay with a Kingdom Hearts style story.
>>744512037>practically flawlessThe balancing is total dogshit and Act 3 is rushed. Those are its biggest faults.
>>744510175Fun day at the beach, fun night with the bitch.
breed french pussy
>no impact>daily seethe threads a years over releaseit seems it had some impact
>>744516647Starfield has incredible cultural impact too considering how we still have daily seethe threads 3 years later.
>>744516181did anyone actually make mod, giving her this kinda body?

Real men are racist to the French
The soundtrack was kino
>>744500675massive shill campaign that dried out. now we're waiting for actual good games to come out.
>>744512198>Comparing Sven to a literal WHOWhat's your problem you fucking faggot?
>>744507654Also it doesn't have ugly anime graphics or cringey anime voice acting.
>>744500675everytime I watch a playthrough if this and it's on PC the load times are ABYSMAL compared to PS5how do PC gamers put up with not having an elite SSD
because its culturally soulless, its story doesnt comment on anything in the real world, the characters are emotional but flat and tame, nothing that happens in the end sticks with you because they tell you the whole world is fake
>>744511137Only jeets like this game because they're unable to tell.
>>744502076That does not make E33 good. Why is it that the shills can’t talk about E33 in isolation? It’s always some weird comparison to other modern slop.
>>744520968Bro didnt play the game.
>>744520968Bro played the game.
>>744500675I'd call sweeping the game awards and winning GOTY pretty culturally relevant. dumb fuck.
French erasure
>>744500675I'd call rigging the game awards and winning GOTY when no games came out that year pretty culturally relevant. dumb fuck.
>>744502076Reminder this is false. E33 sold 8M copies. Remake and Rebirth combined sold nearly 15 Million copies.
>>744521715>riggingkeep seething faggot
>>744500675how come no one is trying to copy this game or make games inspired by it?
>>744521957Shit was made with AI when it was still early and people couldn't tell.
>>744521957what are they going to copy, the story, writing, soundtrack, voice acting? That shit aint easy. They can copy the combat but nobody plays this game for that.
>>744501878I would argue it's worse than any other movie game released this decade, except for Mixtape of course, and that's because the gameplay has the depth of a puddle.>>744509821The way you fought Maelle is no different than the way you fought Renoir and Simon.
>>744500675Well its rather ugly and woke looking so i refuse to play it
>>744521740>New game/IP from new studio from small team>vs JRPGs veterans/top dogs who have been there for 35+ years>This particular saga (FF7) existed for almost 30 years>Their ONE (1) AA game sold in ONE (1) year half of the two AAA ff7 games since 2020Always love when people start comparing. But people don't realize what they're comparing.
>>744522407it's more popular which mean nomries like it which mean it's bad!

>>744523167true. just pretentious
>>744500675It's clearly had some cultural impact -- we're still getting threads saying nobody remembers it exists on an extremely regular basis.
>>744500779I've never understood the Redditor fascination with thinking (You)s mean anything. This includes people who accuse and project onto others for wanting them.

>>744500675it was GOTY 2025 and made french games notable though
>/v/ schizos still absolutely seething about it and unable to cope with the fact that most people, even here, like the gameI'd say that's a cultural impact.

>>744510823He was 13 and she's a he

>>744507426>JRPG when its not made in Japan
>>744509708your third point hasn't even been true for years kek
this game isn't even that good, but how good people generally think it is just goes to show how shit JRPGs have gotten in the last 10-20 years. final fantasy is borderline dead, tales, trails, persona, everything mainstream is literally made for children and/or the most shallow slop imaginable. what JRPGs have even been good in the last 10 years?
>>744521957Because the game has only been out for a year and clones could still be in development for all we know.
>>744526605>janky slow time eventsdidn't play the game award
>>744502076struck a nerve with this one kek
>>744502076i didn't play E33 is the guy on the left the MC ? least he doesn't look as faggy as remake cloud
>>744502076yet in 10, 20, 30 years people will STILL be talking about FF7 and no one will remember meme33
>>744531573He’s the MC for the first act of the game, and then he’s replaced by pic related as the MC for story related reasons.
>>744532014More like they will talk about how they want to suck Tifa's futadick and how FF7R sucked actual dick lmao
OP can you post a game that affected your culture
>>744532014>>744532861FF7 is only widely talked about because it was technically revolutionary for its time and because Tifa v. Aerith was babby’s first waifu war for millennials. It’s not even the best PS1 FF, let alone the best FF.
>>744500675Anons will make faggot threads like this when EX33 is barely a year old. This is like asking why Dark Souls 1 leave a cultural impact when it fucking first came out.

Maelles impact on my genital is immense though
>>744534934her voice sucks
where are the e33 copies and the porn parodies? zero cultural impact
>>744500675It does seem to be a cultural impact among coomers that say you have no standards when you're not on the same team as them.
>>744536009Lack of fan commissioned content is probably the biggest proof that it wasn't as big as they claimed.
>>744522407just because you have a point doesn't mean you can make up whatever shit you want.
it makes a strong argument that publishers should stop dumping 100 million+ into bloated AAA production value when a game can get by being an unreal asset flip as long as the hook catches fire. it certainly wasn't an indie game but it was substantially cheaper than monstrous AAA productions, they basically made a mid tier seventh gen game and it was a success.
>>744509708Funny thing is that at the core it's still kind of a kill god story just like most JRPGs. Turns out that maybe anime tropes are holding the genre back. Funny how Square tried to back away from anime in FF16 but failed.
Must simp for Maelle
>>744500675>/v/ still seething about GOD33Lmao
>>744536508>>744536376It's significantly bigger in the west amongst normies, which is a demographic that doesn't commission jack shit as opposed to ffvii's giant mix of shit from back in the 90s, western weebs, jap otakus and a lot of other niche categories. Hell Rebirth didn't really produce that many new fan works compared to Remake as well in spite of them trying to go deeper into the romances and the alternative outfits E33's demographic holds back the fan content, but also the world is kind of hollow. As someone who commissions shit regularly because I'm mentally ill, I couldn't think of what in the e33 world leaves itself open to compelling porn. There are plenty of significantly smaller and more niche products that hit the right demographic and artists like Romancing SaGa 2 that get a solid amount of fan art and porn despite it being relatively niche especially because every one of your main characters canonically fucks and has children which lens itself well to that shit
>>744500675Obnoxious shilling is the cultural impact.
>>744500675It made Square Enix get their shit together
