I've heard only good things from other JRPG players and am genuinely curious what /v/ thinks.
>>746165923If you want to know whether you'll enjoy E33, the question isn't "how many JRPGs have you played."The real question is "do you have crippling autism, or are you neurotypical?"
>>746165923Yes it's an excellent game
>>746165923Literally the only good JRPG since FFX.
>>746165923>if I've played a shit load of JRPGs? No because you'll instantly see how generic and uninspired it is. And you'll see that it just lazily rips off shit from JRPGs from 20 years ago.It's only for women and normies who haven't played JRPGs before.
>>746165923Yes. It doesn't fall into any JRPG tropes really and the combat feels like the "next step" JRPG combat.
>>746166129Christ, you people really don't play games do you.
>>746166178>>746166139queue the jeet contrarians who can't afford games so they just post to shit on everything.
>>746166139It's inspired, not ripping off.
>>746165923It's a fine game in an era where a game has to either be a masterpiece of steaming garbage. I liked the battle system and characters, though found the environments to be hallway-ish, and enjoyed the story, I'd recommend it. I at least really like that it has an overworld and hefty side content.
>>746165923My favourite Jarpigs are Earthbound, Lisa The Pointless and Black SoulsI'd say it's good
>>746166129Twewy was pretty good so was mother 3
>>746165923its very much of a product of its time, sometimes offensively aimless & very "I shoved things from media I like because I have no life experience", but that aside it's ok enough.
>>746166364Pointless is so great. I have to replay it sometime soon and finally try the continuation.
>>746166513>continuationLolLmaoPlay SOTWS
>>746165923If you have ever seen or done or heard or smelt or tasted or touched anything in life you will not like this game
>>746166027>do you have crippling autism, or are you neurotypical?"Autism means 'yes play it' btw>>746166139I've played quite a few. Yes, it has taken some things from other games, but it ties everything together so well.>>746166178Probably more than you. Bet you've never heard of Parasite Eve.>>746166302I swear Jeets are the ones that shit on E33 the most.
>>746166690I've done all that and I love it. Am I an anomaly?
>>746166969Autism means you'll bitch about UE5 and parryslop as if those words mean anything, and you physically can't enjoy it because autism gives you face blindness (making you prefer anime games) and autism gives you a very low musical IQ, which sucks for you because E33 probably has one of the greatest OSTs of any game ever, and you can't even enjoy it
>>746165923It's extremely good and I detest the combat not even because it's hard but because I like being a comfy fat lazy fuck and they want me to push buttons to the rhythm
>>746166302Jeets are too busy praising Death Slopping 2 to hate on E33
>>746167008Yeah
>>746167125Huh ok because I have autism and I fucking love E33. The soundtrack especially. I never studied musical theory, but I just know the soundtrack is good.
>>746167125I bitch about UE5 because it's fucking bad but I still like E33. It's brought down by UE5 because UE5 is fucking shit but E33 is great for ITS parts.
>>746167125I don't have diagnosed autism but I'm pretty sure something like E33 is tailor made for emotional autists who cry over slightly emotional or evocative anime scenes, just not the literal retard robot autists with no affect
>>746166969>Acting like Parasite Eve is some unknown game Fuck off Zoom Zoom
>>746167369>I bitch about UE5 because it's fucking badWhy is it bad?
>>746167369I will admit UE5 is pretty shit.>>746167442I'm more interested in stories that are far deeper and more complex. Most anime don't do it for me but E33 does>>746167615Given how little discussion it gets, it's safe to assume it's not a very well known game. Also I was born in 89, pretty sure that's not a zoomer.
>>746165923
>>746167615>Fuck off Zoom ZoomI was born in 1992 and I've never even heard of it. What's it about?
>>746166139>It's only for women and normies who haven't played JRPGs before.Post your favorite JRPG, and I can tell you 100 reasons why it sucksE33 is a masterpiece. There's no need to hate it just because it's popular
>>7461659231. It isn't a jrpg, it's a wrpg. Jrpg is not a genre2. You probably will, it's parryslop with a melodramatic predictable story but it's well put together
>>746167615Looked it up, couldn't any mention of it in years. Not one mention. This thread is probably the first time that name has been mentioned online in a long time.>>746167803I love JRPGs and I love E33. You guys just hate it because it's French.
>>746167882It literally is a JRPG, just as much as tacos from New York City are still MexicanAs I was explaining, this is the kind of turbo autist who dislikes E33
>>746165923No
>>746167882Just like how Elden Ring is rollslop and Death Stranding is walkslop?
>>746168292Yes except Death Stranding is the only game deserving of the slop title
>>746166162Is there a cute whimsical sidekick race to add buffoonish comedy and leaven the plot with airy lightness?
I hope you enjoy PARRYING
>>746168534You're full of shit
>>746168606yes, actually
>>746168682How so?
>>746165923Depends. If you view it as an indie game you'll probably think its great. If you view it as a AAA all time great you'll probably find it to be one of the most overrated games of all time.
>>746168882Ignore him.
>>746167997Your analogy is irrelevant here, jrpg isn't a genre how it looks or plays is irrelevant to it being one>>746168292Death stranding is pure shit desuEldenring is a fun jrpg tho despite being soulsslop
>>746167125>musical IQThat's not a thing. Fuck off, faggot.
>>746166446>"I shoved things from media I like because I have no life experience"So 98% of vidya?
>>746166139Genuinely asking, which JRPGs from 20 years ago does it rip off?Also it just occurred to me 20 years ago means 2006 and not the 90s. Do you mean FFX or something? Maybe Lost Odyssey?
>>746165923If you’ve played a lot of JRPGs you’ll probably like E33 because it’s the first good JRPG.
>>746169353>Genuinely asking, which JRPGs from 20 years ago does it rip off?Well lets seethe gun mechanics and the combat UI are from persona 5The turn based combat with the ability to parry and dodge and block is from mario paperand the camp meeting mechanic is also persona.
>>746165923Yeah. Story is so-so: it expects you to pay attention to details, but also falls apart if you question these details. Gameplay is fun, exploration is fun, music is fantastic, ui is so-so: hiding all hud during exploring is great, but inventory ui strains the eyes when it gets populated and there's no minimap for exploration, characters are distinctive in gameplay, but quite shit in writing.Play it, you'll enjoy it for one reason or another. Or play genshin instead.
>>746169506so the gun mechanic is P5 (unique) and the UI is P5 (a generic aesthetic element that will be copied now till another JRPG surpasses it)The parry is Super Mario RPG (not paper mario)... and camp meeting is an RPG standard going back to both CRPGs, JRPGs and even random non-RPGsI was looking for more deep dive examples relating to the story or themes which is why I guessed FFX or Lost Odyssey just based on cultural osmosis understanding of their narrative conventions, like faulty memory or unreliable narration which I believe is a major element of the stories of both...
>>746169765>falls apart if you question these detailsthat's every jrpg story
I havent enjoyed JRPGs since Golden SunWould I like this?
>>746165923This game is not good in any way, especially if you'd played any other games. The campaign for its hype has been despicable.I fucking hate E33 so much it's unreal.
>>746165923Yes it's great
>>746165923If you played more 5 then no, it's painfully mid.Don't get fooled by thirdies desperately thinking they're scoring "white people points" by defending a European game.
>>746170335>>746170350More than enjoying JRPGs, I enjoy the works of Yoko Taro. If I like Persona 4 and Yoko Taro narratives I'll surely like E33, right?
>>746165923It's only good if you're brown, it's bad if you're white.
>>746170556No. It's not really like those games at all. Feels like crap, Unreal asset flips, characters are flimsy, the second act twist ruins the entire narrative and undoes ANY semblance of mystery.It's an incredibly vapid game. I regret spending any time or money on it.
>>746170632t. Rajesh
Didn't care for it. I generally don't like JRPG's, though some are ok. Westerners copying JRPG's is infinitely worse than anything Japanese people might make. Westerners should stick to their own styles. The convoluted JRPG style story really made me cringe. They were fairly on point with atmosphere and music though
>>746170661>Feels like crapSo it's like Drakengard.
>>746165923If you never played a single Jrpg in your life because you're normiecattle and think they're """too japanesy""" you'll probably like it.
>>746170874No. Drakengard has some soul (heh, get it?). E33 is just...it's nothing. It's baby's first Unreal 5 RPG. I will never understand the hype behind it.Drakengard has a legacy, and some real thought put into its world and story. E33 is garbage that will be forgotten in another year.
>>746165923You're gonna have a better time watching paint dry than playing this absolute slop
>>746170661>>746171056>Unreal>UnrealGuy is so assblasted about a game engine it's unrealJENSEN KILLED MY MOM AND DAD AAAHHHH
>>746171056>Drakengard has some soulNot really, especially as a clunky hybrid of Dynasty Warriors and Panzer Dragoon...>Drakengard has a legacyIt DID give us Nier Automata, so you do have a point there...
>>746171229It gave us Drakengard 3 and Nier Replicant which is the actual legacy and treasure. Automata is an afterthought in comparison.
>>746170974>because you're normiecattle and think they're """too japanesy"""The creators are French who are the weebiest of weebs, so that definitely doesn't describe them
>>746165923Yah. I went into it skeptical that it was only enjoyed by anime hating normies but ended up enjoying it quite a bit, though it took me a while to get over the cheapish UE5 look and the art style. The buildtism is simple to play with but complex enough that I was changing up my build way into end game. Every party member having a developed gimmick is cool. Story gets pretty entertaining once its gets going.There's a beefy post game. The French girls are hot.Also play in French. Gives it a unique baguette charm.
>>746165923I wonder if OP is also one of the retards that still believe that E33 is a indie game.
>>746165923France wonAmerica lost
>>746171158He did.Hell hath no fury like mine, and I will have my revenge.Tim Sweeney will fall to my righteous fury.
>>746171278>Drakengard 3When Taro fell firmly up his own ass.
>>746171278>Automata is an afterthought in comparison.For an "afterthought", it has the tightest gameplay of them all. Not surprising considering they got an actually good studio to do it (Platinum)
It's an okay AA game.
>>746165923it's good. 4chan is just filled with contrarians so they have to hate it because it got universal praise.
>>746165923Yes, it doesn't anything particular groundbreaking but it's a case of aa game with good basics and attention to detail.
>>746171532The floatiest mash-buttons-and-make-cool-things-happen combat yeah.>>746171486Arguably the best game in the entire extended franchise actually.
>>746168626This game has taught me then I don't have problem with parrying in video games but very specific punishment rituals like soulsborne. The parrying in this game is honest:>No fakeouts>No delayed animations>consistent visual and audio ques>no off-camera donkey punches
>>746172164All four of those are incorrect. Sure it's not as egregious as in a 3D action game where the fight can't be framed for visual clarity, but enemies definitely pull ambiguous horseshit even before you get to the postgame joke fights that are deliberately ass.
>>746172164>>746172487The only thing that's accurate there is audio cues, it's by far the most reliable way to know (with some assistance of visual, but very little). The first thing I fucking noticed was how hard they were Elden Ringing it with the windup delay bullshit, and someone pointed out that sound is indeed the most reliable tell.
it rapes and shits on anything Shatlus and Squeer Enix ever released
>>746171906>dude! the joke is SEX!bravo. definitely not a kevin smith tier hack
>>746172871>dude the joke is SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE BEFORE SHE BECAME INFECTED WITH THE FLOWERif all you took from DOD3 was "dude sex and JAPANESE HUMOR" because it subverts the magical girl genre with crude irreverence, you got filtered. It's only rivalled by Replicant in terms of emotional resonance (if you're not 17 or a woman and have exited your teen-philosopher phase)
