Yes, it's the best game of the decade so far.

>>3941779
i'm with this guy>>3941749
however like 80% of it is purely the presentation and story for me. the gameplay was fun for a while but it breaks down fast
>at first it's decently balanced so it plays like a turn based game well enough, you gain an advantage if you parry or dodge attacks and you're going to have a hard time if you fail too much.
>then the enemy outpaces you so it starts becoming a dodge and parry game because you can't tank a single full attack from over half the enemies, not to mention bosses
>then if you engage in ANY side activities you become retardedly overleveled in no time so it becomes a total cakewalk
>then by the end of the game every fight is over before the enemy gets a turn, except for like one optional boss.
never played the dlc, don't see any point in doing it either really. it's just more parrying from what i can gather.

i'm going through ng+ right now and min-maxing pictos to squeeze more and more damage and moves from your dudes is really the only fun part besides being able to appreciate the foreshadowing and vague hints.

Yeah, it's cool, played it recently and it gave me a certain empty feeling like when I finished FF7-10 when I was a kid (sciel and lune's reactions in verso's ending mostly)
Have yet to beat the bosses in the endless tower, osquio and simon
Chromatic lampmaster is unreasonable

>>3941113
Alot of the shit i've seen against this game felt artifical and fake as fuck.

It was okay, Act 3 soured the whole game for me because it suddenly became something else

>>3941863
Nevermind, ALL the bosses in the endless tower are retarded
I beat osquio and simon (who was also retarded with his delete move)
Still a good game but I don't think I'll be beating those

>>3941113
I honestly think this is what most JRPGs have been, and what they should have always been.
>a "simple" story with cinematic moments and a good twist
>Attractive, likeable characters
>30-40 hours duration, not too short and not too long
>good orchestral music
>mostly linear with an overworld
In the end, the gameplay doesn't even matter that much, it's just good enough. But the cinematics are really well directed and the voice acting is stellar, which has more impact imo.

>>3941113
It was a kino experience, melancholy game with fun French techno, and zero homosexuals.

>>3941113
E33 is a decent 7/10 game that you're allowed to like, but anyone who sings its praises to the high heavens is just an annoying shill. Ever since the blatant and overbearing paid shilling of this game, my opinion of it has gotten worse even though I thought it was pretty alright before the shills created a /v/ where the entire catalogue was E33. It's was not *that* good. Then it won every single award, including Indie, and just, like, no. No it didn't.

That's not even remotely true, that's just what the retards who think it's a 10/10 tell themselves. Every single criticism of E33 is met with "you're brown" and "post playtime" and then every time someone posts their playtime, you retards conveniently neglect to commit this occurrence to memory.

It's an "average" 7/10 game. It's nothing special. You got brainwashed and you fell for the propaganda if you think it's anything higher than an 8/10 at best.

Nobody here played E33

Also, it's very sad to like something so badly just because you believe it to be hated by your political enemies, if you like E33 let it be for it's own virtue, not because you want to stick it up to the wokies so badly that you refuse to see things for what they are (They love the game that is)

You are doing a really good job of getting him to reveal that the only reason he pretends to like E33 is because he thinks it won some woke culture war.

Btw, there are black people and Lune/Sciel have yuri undertones and Sciel is used good who you can romance, and Lune isn't white she's asian, and everyone in the game is ugly you just stop noticing how ugly the game is once you play it for a while, and one of the voice actresses is a lesbian, so I don't even know what culture war he thinks it won.

People who don't play video games think E33 is literally the greatest thing that has happened to video games, 11/10.

The people who actually play video games thought this only during Act I. Some of them continued to have hope going into Act II, trusting that Act III would resolve everything favorable. Then Act III comes along, does a huge infodump, tells you that nothing in the game ever matters and that it was all a dream. That's the number one thing writers learn never to do. And it doesn't even do it in a Matrix type way either, nope, it puts no additional spin on the terrible trope, it just does the trope. If you really want to try to give it a lot of credit that it doesn't deserve, it almost maybe does an Inception at the end, where you don't know whether the real world is the real world or whether it might be "Written" the same way Verso's world is Painted, and there's the unexplored idea of whether or not Alicia did actually kill Verso by Writing it, but I digress.

>i should never ever go to 4chan to discuss it"
When 4chan first came back up, most people had my opinion. Shortly after that, however, the paid shills came along and made 20+ concurrent threads on /v/ literally 24/7 for a month straight, and only for a month straight, because beginning on June 1st it seems that every single person on 4chan all abruptly decided to stop making E33 threads on /v/ all at exactly the same time, all at exactly the turn of the month, and 20+ concurrent threads 24/7 became 1-2 overnight.

>>3948194
You sound so autistic about the E33 threads that you're actually convincing, I believe possible that you kept count on a Excel spread sheet of all the threads about E33.

>>3948199
>I believe possible that you kept count on a Excel spread sheet of all the threads about E33.
That's not exactly what happened. I was in the E33 threads discussing them, as someone who played it Day 1 while 4chan was down, and the threads at the beginning were perfectly fine and full of normal people who were both praising and complaining about the game.

Then the conversation started shifting into the paid shills calling everyone who had even the most minor criticism about the game "brown", and shortly after that anons began comparing the writing in E33 to the writing of James Joyce and touting E33 as the Ulysses of video games, and that's when I just couldn't take it seriously anymore and realized it was all just a massive shill operation, even though I liked the game. Also, people stopped talking about the story and instead started getting upset when I'd bring up the masonic symbolism in the game, which I had never previously linked to actual freemasonry, but when it became obvious that all discussion became heavily astroturfed, that's when people started being upset by it rather than intrigued by it.

And that's when I noticed also that when I opened the /v/ catalogue, I literally could not *not* see an E33 thread. So every time I returned to the catalogue, I counted. There were literally 20+ concurrent E33 threads literally 24/7 even in the dead of night. And they all mysteriously disappeared beginning June 1st, so that by June 2nd there was only 2 threads and neither one of them were reaching bump limit quickly. That's just too steep of a drop off to be real, and I already had my suspicions prior to that.

>>3948199
And also, notice how no one ever talks about the game. They just say "I'm white, you're brown" or "Square Enix sucks" or "this game owned the chuddies" or whatever. All "conversation" surrounding this game is culture war shit and has nothing to do with the video game.

I had already decided via the evidence of me being in the original E33 threads coupled with my observation of the 20+ concurrent threads 24/7 that dropped off a cliff on June 1st, but when E33 won every single award at the paid game awards, that's how you know it was the "industry plant" of vidya for 2025. It even had a movie deal before it ever released.

that's not what the game tells you at all, holy fuck dude. you MUST be autistic. the game presents a dilemma to you and you have to decide if you think the painted world is real enough to be worth preserving over alicia's life.

you just took the fact that a higher world existed and you immediately dismissed everything in the second world as inferior and fake. you don't have to do that. the second world can be real too. we aren't even 100% sure we, the actual people in this universe, aren't living in a simulation right now. if godlike intelligences existed above us, that wouldn't make us any less real.

you were supposed to take the information about the higher world along with everything you know about the people in the painted world, weigh it in your head, ponder it, and make a choice. you had so many lines and journals of the canvas people insisting on their existence, you had characters to bond with and get to know. you weren't supposed to just dismiss everything as soon as the fact there was a higher level of reality was introduced.

>It's more than that, people praising the big twist are acting as if it wasn't basically the Matrix.
It's worse than the Matrix though. The Matrix has the twist pretty much at the beginning, and then they use the twist as part of the narrative.

E33, the twist is built up as a mystery, and then it's revealed what the twist is, and then the only consequence of that is that the gameplay falls apart as well as the narrative. In that regard, the E33 twist is even worse than the Star Ocean 3 twist. And, by the way, it was normal to dislike Star Ocean 3's twist, because it's kind of retarded, even if it's built up as being the case. It's only E33 where people pretend this same twist is the greatst and most profound thing ever, and you're a brown retard if you didn't "get it", despite the entire thing being explained quite explicitly in an infodump between Act II and Act III.

>>3948335

>>3948366
>these are definitely things that are derived purely from your imaginations
Unfortunately not. There are a lot of people who fell for the paid shill propaganda and veritable industry plant that E33 was, touting it as the best narrative that has ever been conveyed via a video game. They truly believe that you have to be smart in order to understand an infodump. And, to E33's credit, its infodump is a lot more coherent and easy to understand than something like the infodump near the end of Chrono Cross. And still, E33 shill think they are smart for understanding it, and that anyone who disliked Act III is a retard who cannot comprehend an incredibly basic trope that has been used before many times across all media, and has also been used to better effect than E33. (ex: The Matrix)

>if you talk about e33 you MUST also mention the MATRIX, if you do not mention the MATRIX, i will assume you do not know about the MATRIX
huge retard alert
i bet if /tv/ existed back then, your contrarian ass would be obsessively posting in matrix threads and getting mad at people who liked it because they weren't also constantly mentioning the novel simulacron-3 by daniel goluye, assuming you read books that is.

>>3948538
I think people just mention The Matrix because it's one of the best uses of the same exact twist that E33 uses. People make this comparison because people who suck off E33 fucking love the twist even though it's a trash twist 99% of the time (including in E33) and it's only really good in The Matrix because the twist is basically the first thing that happens and it's built on for 2 more movies after that.

E33 is much more comparable to Star Ocean 3. Or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but I think that one is giving it too much credit even though the message is probably more similar in FFTA.

>did it become too popular and win too many awards and therefore it's bad now?

E33’s debs admitted prior to the event that they were not an indie game and the award should go to a smaller studio (an actual indie studio), but at the end of the day they didn’t have any problem taking an award that, by their own admission, they didn’t deserve, they could’ve done like Megabonk’s devs and ask the event to drop them from a category they didn’t belong to, but they didn’t. And hey, they have the right to accept as many awards as might be offered to them but it’s really telling of them.
You E33 fanboys need to understand one thing, people were not mad at it winning too many awards, people were mad at it stealing the spotlight of other games by being granted awards it didn’t deserve, the indie awards are just the obvious example but are not the only ones.

This use to bother me much more but it has become clear to me as the months have gone by that E33 has already run it’s course and it’s not going to be thought about that much in the future, it is the Skyrim of 2025, the game equivalent of the Avengers.
Already nobody remembers it anymore, it’s not a Cyberpunk, it’s not an Elden Ring, it’s not a Baldur’s Gate 3. We don’t remember Skyrim, we remember Dark Souls, also from 2011. Maybe in the future we will remember Silksong as the Dark Souls of 2025, or Monster Hunter Wilds (“But mah optimization” Nobody cares how dysfunctional a game was on release, they only care about what it becomes) or even Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter if the series manages to find appreciation in the west, it will be remembered as the proper introduction to the west of a colossal series.

Just like the Avengers being an amusement park disguised as a movie, or Skyrim being an action adventure game disguised as RPG, E33 will be remembered as a Sekiro clone disguised as a jrpg, as a forgotten product of the hype, a washed up celebrity, a has-been.

I dunno if you know what fetal alcohol syndrome even looks like but I'd say Maelle and Lune are both attractive.

Gameplay is a mess but it's a mess in a way that is low barrier to entry so I guess that's good?

>>3941113
Joke's on you kid, I hated it before it won any awards. It looks like an AI slop version of Persona. I could tell all the hype is fake and gay the moment I checked rule34 to see if there's any fappable porn of the supposedly "super hot big booty babes".

>>3950855

>>3957269
To be fair, rule 34 really is a very good metric to measure an IP'S success. And indeed it's only mind blowing how little r34 there is of E33 considering how talked about was for a year.

I did notice that around 70% of it is feet porn about Lune, and the remaining 30% is about a literal sixteen year-old, really makes you think.

Shit like CoD is extremely popular yet has very little porn compared to games with hot chicks or some shit.

>>3941113
It was never good, it's only liked by people that barely play RPGs and especially turn based ones similar to JRPGs.

How very timely, recently GameRant published this (pic related).
Now, I can already hear the cope of the E33 fangirls: "Duh, you care so much for what a smelly game outlet has to say? How about you get some opinion of your own?"

And I want to say that I don't agree with this list either, that's not the point. The point is that its a popularity poll, a poll where Batman: Arkham City managed to be in the top 5 and yet, the most awarded game ever that came out not even a year ago, that was glorified and paraded as the savior of the medium doesn't even make it to the top 10.

What I'm trying to say is that E33 is the most astroturfed industry plant ever, it had the luck to be chosen by the hype cycle but as soon as the hyped died down so did its cultural relevance.
Do a very easy experiment: Go to youtube look for e33 short it by popularity and videos of the last month and take a look at how relevant it still is, then do the same with Silksong and compare the two.

In five years this game might as well have never existed, in ten years people will look back at the past GOTY winners, will settle eyes upon e33 and will go: Literally who?

>>3964168
Do you want to make a bet on which game is going to be most and better remembered game between e33 and ffXVI? And before you answer, take your hatred for FFXVI aside and think for a moment it is a mainline FF what we're talking about: What does that mean? Every FF that comes out is an ever green title, whenever a new FF comes out it brings new fans to the franchise that go back to play the older games.
Have you seen how many new fans FFXIII of all things has gained in the past years, how much good will the historically worst FF ever has managed to gain?
Now I repeat the question: are you willing to bet your anon pride on which one will transcend the other?

i checked your poll
https://gamerant.com/top-10-best-video-games-all-time/
this is determined by some little banner on their site where you choose between two games while you browse (pic related)
if you go into the source code you can see a full list of the games that take part. expedition 33 isn't on the list.

anon, what are you doing here? how can you think spending your time scouring twitter for evidence that proves a game is less popular than it seems a worthwhile endeavor? step back and reflect here. is a crusade to prove a game is unpopular really that meaningful? furthermore, if the game really is unpopular, what's it to you? what do you gain from that?

I've noticed that E33 stands are a very special type of snowflake, they talk about the game as if it was the first game with story they have ever played, are extremely jealous and insecure about other games taking the spotlight out it and are terminally online. In other words: They are prime meat for trolling

>>3964191

I have no problem admitting that I live on the internet, the difference is I know how to take it too seriously, unlike you that as soon as you saw a nobody on 4chan shittalking the game you went to the page and looked into the source code to prove that your game isn't a hasbeen. ;)

It’s no secret that during the seventh generation and part of the eighth, around 2005 to 2016ish, american videogames use to be the kings of the industry. Not so much anymore, because the Japanese did to them the same as in the comic book industry. And there are a lot of “buy american” chuds that are having a very bad time coping with the fact that they’re past their prime, that all of their big names from a decade ago have been consistently dropping the ball ever since, think about Bioware, Bethesda, Microslop, etc… Same applies with non american companies that are seen as american-adjacent like Ubisoft.
And so, now they latch onto anything western with a bare minimum of quality to one up the japs, they have to, because they know that as soon as the next year roles over is back to being mog by them, in the case of this year by Resident Evil, so far.

hate to bump this hideous thread, but on the off chance someone who likes the game is still reading this thread, on the subreddit i saw a news item about the book this game was inspired by being translated into english
it's called horde of the counterwind
https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/horde-of-the-counterwind_9781419792588/
apparently the french original was some really snooty cult classic that was a rewarding challenge to read because of the novelty way it was structured
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Horde_du_Contrevent
me personally, i'd like to pirate the english translation for my kindle if possible, but idk if the formatting lends itself towards being uploaded on a kindle so we'll see. i pirated the game, so that's 50 bucks saved, when you put it through that lens, i wouldn't feel too bad about paying 20 bucks for a book.

jfc, I don't think I've ever seen a game mindbreak people so hard as e33
I can understand the occasional flyby shitposter dropping a "it's shit" to a thread, whatever, happens to all games, but the amount of actual, non-hyperbolic mental illness this game has brought up is on a completely new level
The universal acclaim it has gathered is exceptional. A lot of even the worst grognards (as much as that term applies to vidya rpgs) I know have admitted it was special and well done even though they don't like its general vibe or less crunchy gameplay.
It's just baffling, what is it about this game that drives some individuals to go so unhinged?

>>3968135
I mean, I like the game because it only features white people, It did feature a black (blegh) as a minor character early on but thank god it was killed soon enough to leave only the master race to prove who's the number one both inside and outside the game, in the gaming industry and in everything else for that matter.

>>3941113
You can like it, just don't expect me to jump on the bandwagon with you. I don't like games basedo n how popular they are.

>>3968258
I foresaw its massive potential and was following it forever and predicted it had potential to be game of the year before it even released let alone after a bunch of fucking faggot influencers convinced every normalfaggot this was the next "NIER AUTOMATA STYLE GAME IN WHICH YOU MAKE A REACT VIDEO OF YOU CRYING OVER IT"

>>3968135
Just a response to the sheer volume of praise.
It doesn't matter if praise is real or monetarily motivated, the nature of 4chan is to rail against it.
A lot of people were deliberately riling things up, too - you got just as many driveby "it's shit" as you got driveby "this game is better than yours". You'd even see it in completely unrelated genres or completely unrelated threads. It's pretty easy to have a bad taste left in your mouth in the face of such abrasiveness.

>>3968135
Is the lack of nuance what makes people mad. Every game has problems, even with the biggest titles ever we can agree that have some kind of problem, and it’s ok, nothing is perfect. When something gets such a universal praise and it’s called “fucking perfect, don’t even dare to criticise it” comes off as fake or forced, like people are trying to shill the game, are posing or are letting the hype get to them, in any case it rubs normal people off the wrong way.

>>3968135
Well seems it's less about the game and more about how people talk about it lol

>>3969733
For a lot of it yeah. Me personally it drives me fucking crazy that yet another good genre has been infected by garbage parry mechanics. I despise parry mechanics and the way they're just shitting up every game they come across.

>>3969957
Why do you despise parries, and do you despise other similar mechanics in JRPGs as well?

>>3969972
They don't belong in turn based games, at leat not how they are implemented in e33, they turn them into Sekiro clones.

>>3968135
Why do you believe that people who do not play or care about megapopular bestseller games to be "mindbroken"?

>>3970906
>They don't belong in turn based games
Why

>>3970932
Rpg's and turn based games in particular revolve around the idea of creating strategies with your party by designating roles, mainly some variation of: the healer, the dps, the support and the tank. In E33 every character mechanic is just a different way of dealing damage, there is very little incentive to assign a character as full tank, healer or support. Yes, of course you technically can, but why would you? Every character already has the ultimate damage avoiding mechanic incorporated, that being dodge/parry.
When you realize that the dodge/parry mechanic trivializes all others you start seeing E33 not as a turn based game, but as a action game disguised as a turn based one. And it's not just the lack of need for a strategy: Besides the ice area, with the frost/fire enemies, when the elemental damage becomes relevant in any way?

>>3970951
>Every character already has the ultimate damage avoiding mechanic incorporated, that being dodge/parry.
Would you be happy if dodge/parry option was replaced with healing

>>3970960
And damage mitigation, and elemental resistances, and taunting mechanics, and debuffs that prevent enemies from using specific attacks,... Do you see how many mechanics are thrown out the window for parry's sake?

>>3970969
I've often seen them thrown out due to level ups and low difficulty.

And I have no issue with a game doing something different. I've had my share of old standard JRPG gameplay.

>>3970977
>I've often seen them thrown out due to level ups and low difficulty.

Can you provide an example other than Persona 5?

>>3969972
>Why do you despise parries
Because it turns every single game into the same thing. You wait for the attack, you time a button press, and then you go back to actually playing the game. For action games your positioning doesn't matter, just parry. For RPGs your stats and equipment don't matter, just parry. It's fucking boring.

>>3970984

I don't think you have ever played FF VII. And even if it was a valid example: FF VII is a 1997 game; Did you have to go that far back to find an example?
