Expedition 33 has the highest public metascore ever

Square

Turn based games are outd-ACK

I'm glad the game flopped though

Well it's nice to know the ex-Ubisoft marketer is still getting work..

buy a dilator bitch

YES. KILL THE NIGGER

Let's be honest here

both of those scores are completely undeserved.

Turn based with a world map and Soulslike elements. Yeah, it's a solid game.

Yea it should be higher

If I think Metaphor and Chained Echoes were both extremely overrated JRPGs and solid 5/10s, would this land among them? Or is it actually as good as some of the best JRPGs

500,000 copies sold + gamepass money for an indie game is a flop

Retard

Just the fact this game is pure fantasy kino without politics shoved into it makes it better than metaphor. I didnt play chained heroes though.

id say expedition 33 is a solid 8/10, its definitely slightly overrated but it is good just not as good as people are claiming

What do we think of puppet mommy?

Anon Babble was down, he has to work overtime to get paid.
Well... "paid".

It did that badly?

8 months later

retards still seething about Metaphor

its getting extra points for its godlike OST + no politics.
Its pure unfiltered fantasy kino. Fuck politics.

I'd say mechanically it might be the best 'J'RPG I've played. It's a combination of the Legend of Heroes combat with Soulslike elements and I don't just mean dodging attacks. The healing items restore at checkpoints like Estus flasks and it works. You find ability items instead that you can use to build different synergies in your team. Also, it has a world map which is something I wish hadn't been abandoned and am glad to see.

How the FUCK is Metaphor a 94? It's like a legitimately solid 6/10 JRPG. It's worse than Persona and SMT. It's worse than the best FF games. Wtf

when did anyone in square ever say that turn based games are outdated?

You lost.

minus the tranny bonus from metaphor and it's a 70

This game scratches the PS1 Final Fantasy “adventure” itch

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DELETE THIS
DELETE THIS NOW

I don't like the French but it's always good to see those faggots Nomura and Yoship getting BTFO yet again. Fuck your stupid actionslop games.

Squarefags are tired of getting L after L.

Now post the public score. Nobody cares about the "journalists" opinion.

User score

FF7 Rebirth OUT OF NOWHERE!

holy reddit kino

Just fucking lost my save file after playing for 3 hours, is there any solution to this? It will not create any saves and im running as admin

Metaphor peaked at the opera house and fell off hard until the final boss

Metaphor

5/10

How?

Well you might have fucking sold it to me. I will be pissed if it's not as good as those games

Tranny reviewers who play games on easy mode and give extra points to games that shove tranny agenda score are more important then the public's reception

Sure, mate.

That image is honestly too retarded. What even is RPG gameplay? Just a bunch of meaningless words strung together. Awful epistemology.

Nice one, the demented fanboys are seething really hard

no? it did that well, why are you trying to pretend it did badly?

It feels insanely repetitive. Each dungeon looks samey. The animations look jank by today's standards especially compared to games like HSR. The story goes nowhere. The environments look extremely bland and have way too many generic particle effects. The characters are pretty flat. It felt below average to me.

turn based =/= JRPG

my reviewbomb raid is unbiased

Hang yourself

this game is pure ass. the story is shit. le painter is evil and the mother of the red hair chick, but actually she wasnt evil she was holding back a greater evil the abusive father!!! XD!!! yeah no thanks the french can go fuck off.

and season based wipe game =/= ARPG but I challenge you to name a good ARPG that doesn't wipe seasonally

the french is working full time today, i see

Game journalist opinion were always hot garbage, but user score? And MC's user score at that?
Hell no, that shit always was a pure and total laughing stock.
And the fact you are shilling the game 24/7 kind of mean that score is probably astroturfed to hell and back.
The fact you don't know that out you as a shill, considering this place's hatred for them.

are the french the most popular region IP according to the Anon Babble hack leaks?

no woke slop

the games tops the charts

yep I'm adding it straight to my backloggd /vidyacore/ list
western devs and blackrock literally in shambles

ESL-bro..

You either didnt play the game or is pretty much retarded and didnt understand the story at all.
The story is about grief, not domestic abuse.

shut up retard

>no woke slop

looks like france to me

I'm not shilling the game 24/7 retarded. I didnt even enter into expedition 33 threads to not get spoiled, i beat the game on expert mode an hour ago.

Game is pure kino, it's so refreshing from usual rpgs
I genuiely feel bad for those shitting on the game just because it's more popular that their favorite rpg/it's made by french people/there's black npc

It's so much better than either of these two that it's not even a competition, and I say that as someone who liked those games.

Reminder that there's been a single schizo trying to derail every thread about this game since the site came back online. He tried the same on 8kun but he got BTFO there due to post IDs.

link?

Yshtola poster

You just know he has shit taste before even read the post.

Really liking this game.
If you liked the combat in this, Atelier Ryza 2 has a similar style of combat.

That makes me think, we really should have user IDs here

The one thing I can't seem to find in this game is the pretentious philosophical messaging in it
in games like nier automata and metaphor, which are also very similarly competent RPGs, you get bombarded with ideology, references to some renaissance or enlightenment author and shit I couldn't really care less about
but this game's theme seems simplistic to a fault

User reviews are worthless, except when they can be verified. Almost every big game has people spamming 0s or 10s, and a game like this just went under the radar enough that there is no culture war nonsense to throw around

French philosophy has more class than japs just referencing Nietzsche out of context.

French philosophy has more class

lmao
Frenchie here, you're a retard

The story is what really elevates E33.
The music is amazing, but the bar is already pretty high for JRPGs.
E33's gameplay is good, but it's a bit derivative. The biggest innovations are making parries and dodges so important, and the free aim gimmick which is used creatively in a couple of boss fights.

this is what the supposedly best JRPG in decades looks like, the game with a higher meta score
I cannot understand how japs can release games looking and playing like this and not feel ashamed in current decade

A frenchman who hates himself, how novel.

I fucking love realism 3D slop and ugly people!!!

kill yourself

French philosophy manages to be even more retarded than the Germans.

himself

I'm not a philosopher though

E33's gameplay is good, but it's a bit derivative.

Name 5 games from the past 15 years with this kind of gameplay.

realistic

I struggle how anyone can look at Gustav, Verso, Maelle, Lune and Sciel and think "ugly"

I do not like Metaphore character design, but it's still miles above game aiming for realism.

in that case we don't take the opinions of laymen, they are usually very stupid people
did you know people hated on the military generals of WW1 for "sending their men into a slaughter" because they watched Blackadder and All Quiet on the Western Front?
comes to show how clueless most non-intellectuals are

Yeah, I'm sure you're an intellectual. Euphoric, even.

jarpigs are so fucking deluded at this point that they think having more than 2 polygons and running in an engine thats capable of visual effects is le realism

Retard
Looks like westerner Persona 5 /Metaphor

You left out pantsu service

Yeah?
If frenchies had any balls, they would make games based on belgian comics's artstyle.
Instead we have generic redhead that looks uncanny and retarded.

look at this realismslop, it looks like this every time I leave my favela to get shot at by fellow brownoids

historically accurate alternate dimension not-France with magic

the NPCs he's complaining about are only within the 30 minute prologue

I hate woke shit as much as the next guy, but this is a melty blown out of proportions

My 2024 GOTY was FF7 Rebirth

My 2025 GOTY will most likely be this game

Why are faggots here acting as if I can't enjoy both?

LE GRAPHIX LE GRAPHIX

I LOVE UNREAL SLOP

708373218

NOOOO YOU CAN'T ENJOY THE GAMEEEE AIEEEEEE I'M GOING INSANE

Samefag frog shills working overtime

That's absolutely a realist artstyle anon.

Holy shit. I can feel the profound mental retardation radiating from that image.

"the game looks like shit!"

no it doesn't

"you only care about muh grafix!"

Just say that you want to shit up another thread, faggot.

wanting to kill everyone because of love/grief

not abusive

sure bud.

doesn't know the difference between 3D realism and non-fantasy realism

The Witcher 3 has anime graphics for you because it has magic and stuff? lmao

fully modeled, textured, and rendered panties

What's another game that pandered to pantybros?

Why are you crying about Metaphor at the Clair Obscure thread?

This game is hinduphobic people should play good games made by hard working people like Assasin's Creed Shadows and not games made by bigots.

chained echoes is an awful, awful game
lame story, most boring and unappealing characters, and retarded systems

Let me guess, you think Gears of War is not realism because it has monsters and underground-aliens in it?

Sea of Stars was better

He doesnt know

You just outed yourself as a person who didnt get past act 2.

n-no actually realism is a good thing now!

The goalpost isn't even in the stadium anymore. You're just here to argue.

Play a good game instead.

But... actionslop...

Schizophrenia

what the fuck are you talking about schizo

is this one of those hentai rpg maker games where you have to lose to unlock the hentai?

NON REALISTIC STYLIZED GRAFIX IS WHEN GAME LOOKS LIKE SHIT, HAS NO MODERN VISUAL OR PARTICLE EFFECTS,BARELY ANY SHADOWS, TEXTURES THAT ARE 64X64, RUNS AT SUB 30 FPS, HAS A LOW VIEW DISTANCE AND ABSOLUTELY NO MORE THAN 5 OBJECTS, BUILDINGS OR ASSETS ON THE SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME

What the fuck are you saying, retard

We already knew this when Baldur's Gate 3 sold 15 million copies. Turn based gameplay is perfectly viable if your game is good.

You seem obsessed about Atlus games.

Realism in the arts is generally the attempt to represent subject-matter truthfully, without artificiality, exaggeration, or speculative and supernatural elements.

I also love playing full price for recycled assets from the 6th generation.
Who else even makes "high" budget turn based JRPGs anymore?

No. There's no porn at all. Just the usual weird Japanese humor stuff and an elemental system that's actually important.

Yea, but they could use the "but baldurs gate is a cRPG" excuse.
Expedition 33 is a 4 (3) niggas in a row turn based rpg. They have no excuses now.

JRPGs ratings are like bollywood movies on IMDB you have to subtract 2 from the score to get something accurate. always massive overrated for some reason

I'm just glad 4 niggas in a row isn't dead. I would've gladly taken future FF games with the same type of combat again

Thank you for proving my point.
Compare this game characters with, say, Persona 5.

The only black person in the entire game dies within the first 30 minutes and there is literally only one non-white character otherwise, who happens to be a sexy as fuck hapa who shows off her feet and has an idle animation that looks like she's kneading my balls.

True.

Its not a jRPG, though... Its a fRPG.

with Soulslike elements

You can tell they took inspiration from Soul games, e.g.:

Flasks that refresh at checkpoints (that also refresh the enemies if you rest)

weapon level upgrades at the smith with stones

dodge/parry mechanics and enemies being cheeky with delayed attacks

Dualliste boss fight being a love letter to the Pontiff Sulyvahn

the whole Forgotten Battlefield setting

if the visuals aren't some abomination that belong on the GameCube it's realism

The only black person in the entire game dies within the first 30 minutes and there is literally only

Those are literal background NPCs that never show up again after the first 15 minutes. It's like searching for black people in the crowd of a racing game.

Yes, I'm glad FFXVI and Redditbirth flopped and sucked

Find out for yourself.
vrpghonyakubu.neocities.org/enchantfarm/enchantfarm-main

compared to games like HSR

There it is lmao

As someone who is hypersensitive towards woke shit, this is genuinely cherrypicking. None of these people show up after the prologue, and even there they're all non-interactable and shoved into the background.

I'm glad its doing well and i still hope FF returns to niggas in a row after seeing so many successes.

As someone who is hypersensitive towards woke shit

You're probably a faggot.

Because he's trying to somehow play off metaphor having twice the sales of this game and having a very hard time

grasping at straws this badly

final fagtasy lost

Holy fucking obsessed

Yikes, that's pathetic
That's the silver lining, maybe some devs with talent will start making classic jrpgs again (ones with a budget)

it wasn't enough that FFschizos had to contend with the newest atlus IP publicly humiliating them on the world stage

They now have to contend with a turn-based game from some French people that sold half as much as it

Grim

so why is it good??? the graphics style looks so fucking ugly, the gameplay must be stellar or something?

the gameplay must be stellar or something?

see

post some of the ost

Pure fantasy kino without politics shoved into it

God tier OST

good combat

see this retarded post

Damn you're stupid.

Is this game piratable? if so, you win, i'll play it Soundtrack sounds good, and it's the most important thing in a RPG. Yes, before anything else.

Is this the E33 general?

Do I need to worry about dumping into bad stats?

The respec items seem to be plentyfull enough to not make dumping into bad stats matter much

the graphics style looks so fucking ugly

metaphor's user score with 2x the number of reviews

ah yes truly represents the will of the people

Good game comes out

AWW looking for a needle in a haystack so they can criticize game

I'm beginning to get AWW fatigue

brown and bloom

This is the entire E33 dev team

Don't tell Jason Schreier

brown and bloom

No it's not

Metaphor got reviewbombed by FF7 fans especially after the Game Awards worldwide live rape.

yes and?

blue and bloom

Anon unless you start showing me some screenshots with contrast and more than three colors present I'm not going to give a shit. A ton of big budget games have had this issue for... what, 15+ years now?

game doesn't take 200GB

So this is the power of good coding...

westoids trying to use FR-KINO against Japan

Grim.
Journalists truly are desperate, "independent" journalists included.
The game is an 8/10 at most, and that is quite generous given the mediocre Art (char designs, environments, monsters, music, etc.)
I have talked to the devs and told them to not get too drunk off the praise but I doubt they will listen, it is probably only downhill from here for them.

This was from before the game awards, but the essence of the issue is the same. You just had people going in making accounts to leave good reviews for their choice of the GOTY nominees while blasting the others

so when are japanese peoples opinions coming in?

Ex-ubisoft devs

Probably a fluke, sadly

Does it run well on slightly older PCs or should I wait to get a new GPU (I have a 2080) or a Switch 2 port?

Your seething is palpable.

Only thing I'm mildly sad about is that Expedition 33 will most likely mog any "RPG of the year" discussion and awards away from Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, even though they are COMPLETELY different games. At least it's double shitting on AC Shadows.

Is there any other RPG expected this year?

Monoco sounds manly as fuck, holy shit.

If the FF IX remake exists and it isn't turn-based I'm going to lose my FUCKING MIND. What in the FUCK is their problem? No one wants DMC Final Fantasy.

? You can already read what early purchasers have said. It's generally liked but there is not much superlative praise. Not that many people bought it as other things are happening at the moment.
7/10 type of response. No one has beaten it yet however.

Thinking of getting this game because of the QT red head girl. Is it good?

30 people

working on a game for 30 years

first day sales are 500k

flop

cope.

If you're not playing with the French dub, you're not playing the game

both gooks and mutts can eat shit

start showing me some screenshots with contrast and more than three colors

I think the game is a good surprise, but it's quality is a bit overblown.

Nah, fuck that, I hate the French language with a passion. They can go choke an a baguette.

I only hate Chink speech more.

Square makes more turd based games than any other company retard.

Anon, you posted a screenshot with two fucking colors.

This shits on metaflop in every way.

hey the retard woke up finally hi retard I hope your anxiety peaks over the next couple weeks having to fight a losing battle against two games instead of just one now

Stop spreading the lie they're 30.

trooncase

But yes, thank you for illustrating what this is being used for. Pure chauvinism. The same reason why the Western Industry has lost all quality. Your "hype" ensures that no good artists will ever be hired, as "Expedition 33" is now the "high bar." Very, very grim. But a common pattern since the mid 1990s.
Now the devs will use this praise to get 5/10 women and then they will shrivel up into shells of their former selves. Many such cases historically. Nobody cares about Art, none in the critical audience, and none in the existing studios.

Anon, you posted a screenshot with two fucking colors.

Glad E33 passed metaflops peak. Too bad it won't get a sales update just like metaflop.

I've been blindly flailing, leveling up like an idiot and swapping my weapons around with no real plan.
I'm doing fine on normal, at least.

Brown, white, and red

White is a tone and not a color, but I'll give you that one, otherwise you won't be able to pass the assignment.

starts blatantly lying after being cornered

maybe your user name is not in english

For your next assignment, you'll have to find me a screenshot that is not a blurry mushy mess.
One you go Mr. Shill.

Keep moving the goalpost, ex-Bioware employee.

Anyone else sick of third world brownoids shitting up the discussion of every new game simply because their toasters can't run them?

ignores the clear tones of turquoise and green and the sand tone of the buildings so that his argument can work

Blurry as fuck, and to add insult to injury, there's TWO fucking colors. Two!
See me after class.

beautiful women

handsome men

turn-based combat (as God intended)

small studio of 100% white-skinned folks

Yup.

E33 still sold 500k more copies than Rebirth.

Elden Ring Nightreign, Deltarune ch3-4, that's it.

So is this just persona with white people?

Schizo retard. Glad E33 devs aren't owned by a shitty company like segay so they actually get to keep the money they made unlike metaflop.

based and hyperboreanpilled

Japanese companies are run by out of touch old men, this is nothing new. At least in the west you can get lucky and one of the old faggots running things might actually be up to date with reality. It's still rare, but it can happen. In Japan? fuck no, the seniority culture prevents the old fucks from ever taking criticism at all. The mere implication that they might be wrong is a huge disrespect even though they are blatantly wrong and doing a terrible job. This is why time and time again SE shit-talking turn based keeps getting them blown the fuck out. Atlus exists and they've basically been recycling the Persona formula over and over, and it fucking works. I'm sure it costs them way less to make those games when compared to SE's cinematic meme shit.

FF7 Remake would have sold more and they would have made the games faster had they not gone the cinematic and action route. They will continue to get blown the fuck out as more turn based RPG games leave them in the dust, made by smaller teams and in the fraction of time it takes them to get Nomura to do some gay shit with zippers and ghosts.

Chained echos is objectively mediocre
Metaphor I don't know. I dropped it at the Luis city. Just didn't grab me anywhere but i m not sure if its bad...

I literally baited you with a screenshot with sharpness turned to max. Caught you blatantly lying to be a contrarian twice now, whoops! Inb4 "i-it's blurry despite the sharpening filter!" kekarooo.

Never heard of Chained Echoes. Looks like a RPG Maker game.
Metaphor was really good, but it was extremely basic.

the battle system is basically persona 5 but with a parry button except they moved the skill menu off of triangle for some reason and it fucks with my muscle memory
it's not like persona in any other way, I'm happy this game beat out absolute garbage like p3 reload but it's never going to reach the heights of it or metaphor

no official numbers at sight

I fucking love turn BASED

Unreal engine plastic assets with bloom
Yep. Its another unreal engine game

Not enought cutscenes or basic bitch all out attack spam to be persoyna.

That is very ugly yes. They should have hired good artists. Sadly, they don't have anyone who knows what good art is.

11/2/2024

not even a full month of metaphor sales represented

oh no no no no no no reddibirthbros not even our shitposts are any good we are getting mogged in the pussy by FRENCH now what the fuck is happening

He. Fucking. Won.

lmao that's not how sharpness work little bro.
The whole background is subject to FoV, and the main building has mushy textures.

historically not accurate

in a fantasy game taking place in a fantasy world

I would've voted for him

mooooom, there's bloom when I look directly into the sun, what the fuck?!

little bro

100% brown-skinned, thanks for the confirmation Ranjeed.

Why is this game causing Anon Babble to melt down?

It's on gamepass, so the purchase numbers are probably not going to reflect the number of people playing it.

3 fucking colors.
Get coping.

Final Fantasy being on a massive losing streak for 3 years. Also it's not really that massive

It doesn't. There's a big shilling campaign about that game for a while, and to make thread last longer they start controversies.

literally everyone blown away by how amazing a game looks for once, both critics and players alike

a handful of brown people on Anon Babble have to act like contrarians because they have a 1060 Ti or something

Metaflop sold less than dawntrail on steam. And they gave all the money they made to sega. Glad everyone realizes E33 shits all over it.
store.steampowered.com/sale/bestof2024

losing streak for 3 years

Try at least 10 years.

we desperately need IDs on every board

red, blue, turquoise, green, beige, brown and off-white don't count! also the image is blurry because... because I say so! and the game is woke!

Shouldn't you get shot outside your favela right now or something?

This a thousand time.
I know we lost Anon Babble but is there a way to make suggestions?

Its Legend of Dragoon but french. No dating sim elements and social links to be Persona

Are any of these even considered bad games

a fantasy world

Based on what?

Square used to be so good at this...
what happened!?

lmao

Brace yourself, I'm going in dry.

sold less than the most astroturfed MMO in history

Graaping at straws I see

tfw the guy obsessed with inputfaggotry kept fucking posting in the ochomoe threads despite everyone able to see how profoundly retarded he was

3 years

lol

Has the "only three colors" sperg commented on this one yet? Or will he say it's "too blurry" instead?

hahahah cunt

Historical accuracy

In a fantasy game that happens in a canvas, literally.

3

You're missing a 2 in front of that

dawntrail

release date: july 2024

find a bigger pot to piss in you're getting it all over the floor and I daresay there's a little blood mixed in

cherrypicks the one picture that was posted as an answer on "blurryness", not color variety

Now do any of the others, Ranjeed.

This game has really ruffled some feathers over on discord huh

it's just r*dditors that are angry the studio is entirely white people

westoids basedfacing over a third-rate JRPG clone

holy fucking KEK

Gladly

Quite simply the most relevant image of this console generation

Shart Enix got dabbed on hard by the baguettes

It didn’t dipshit

Metaflop sissies seething at FF while their dogshit shovelware is forgotten.

if I crush the imagine beyond recognition, there's no more colors!

Holy shit you really are brown.

I genuinely hope you're trolling, I can't tell anymore these days.

2 points worse than the snoozefest ReFantazio was

This is why we don't trust reviewers.

turn based jrpgs are pure slop
xcom mogs this shit

Forgotten by who? By you? kekaroo

I accept your concession.

You have never used this tool before. The calculator purposefully crushes highlight colorization.

Forgotten by who?

remembered by no one which is why you metaflop sissies have to make AI porn of your dogshit.

If its forgotten you wouldnt be bringing it up, in a fucking E33 thread

I like the implication that you guys think that just because this game is a sucess Square will suddenly got back to turn based

You know what you did forget? That you posted this one already
and everyone cared exactly as much about it as they did the first 100 times you posted it (0)

At this point you should just kill yourself already, Larry.

Youre doing more heavy lifting in bringing it up because you wouldnt let it go. And Ill gladly twist the knife if I have to

good morning bazzy, a games quality has nothing to do with how much porn it has, gay or otherwise

I don't give a rat's ass about what SE is doing anymore.

what program or website is this?

NTA but if the tool is a color parser then it make sense if the goal is to find color diversity. Not contrast.

All these seething marketers replying

Based

This and steller blade won
We won
I won

Metaphor mogs FFtrash

Baguette 33 mogs FFtrash

the brown hordes are now seriously arguing about corpo awards, genuinely claiming that they're an indicator of quality

Abandon thread.

SE still makes turn based games though? They need to stop fucking up FF

whole thread seething at Final Fantasy reveals themselves to be metaflop sissies

everytime

You can literally see the crushed image in the preview, anon. It's not a color parser in the sense that you're looking for. You're either willfully ignorant or blind if you say the original image contains no red or green.

if people respond to me acting like a retard about a game they are defending that game and not pointing out my profound mental illness

I hope you all kill each other in a favela shootout.

>whole thread seething at Final Fantasy

Objectively false, the thread is seething about E33 and Metaphor.

Embarassing

The article that OP was made from is bait to start with, but main thing with this game is that

It comes not even half a year after FF7R2 lost best RPG to an Atlus game in a major asspounding that shitposters still haven't gotten over

This game is explicitly styled after the classic PS1 final fantasies and getting far more acclaim than XVI and FF7R

Yeah because that's what these kind of things do. They "group" stuff together into colors of same families to give an idea of the color balance. I used this in video editing. Just my 2 cents.

the thread is seething about Metaphor.

The insecure metaflop shills got upset because people realized E33 shits on it.

So now the Square shills will reviewbomb this basically

You're the only fag bringing it up dumbass. Literally every post about Metaphor has been from you.

Good fuck Vavra for being a deceitful snake he deserves to get fucked over.

intentionally doesn't post the first seethe

See

nice try samefag

It will be very hard to turn Clair Obscur on Metaphor because everyone laughs at modern Final Fantasy equally

Calling metaflop a 5/10 isn't seethe. It's copy pasted fatlus shit that took 8 years to make and is already forgotten.

ff8 is not an rpg

ff8 has "fake-non rpg gameplay" because it has the slightest bit of interaction instead of completely random crits

go back to wizardry 1 already gramps

>ugly people!!!

but enough about floptazio

Unfortunately there's no way around it, the cult will not sleep until their dead franchise reclaim the throne.

obsessed schizos.

Everyone SHUT THE FUCK UP

Post at least ONE girl from this game that has huge titties and I will buy the game, no questions asked.

Silver: Dragons Dogma 2, Granblue Fantasy, FFXIV Dawntrail
Bronze (shit): Metaflop and P3 Demake

Check what said. Optimally you shouldn't have any special character or space in you username. I've seen multiple examples where the game stored the save files in either AppData or Documents and the user's Windows name caused issues. Alternatively check if your anti-virus / firewall didn't restrict or block the game's permissions. This includes virtualization as well.

Does it have fishing or karaoke or blitzball or anything or does it just have bear ass collection quests, or is it just about going to the red flag on the map?

silver: games that came out more than 2 months before the end of the year

bronze: one god tier jrpg and one dogshit remake

((((god)))) tier jrpg

gets 0 threads and 0 porn

grim

it wouldn't be a god tier game if it were gacha slop
or worse, a final fantasy game

This and the Frenchness make me suspect it's a normie box-ticking exercise but I'd like to be proven wrong

you seem very confused about what game(s) this thread is about lmao

Red flag

posting the worst girl

You deserve it for having shit taste

that title

sounds like some contrived faggot crap

Well it's made by some kind of off brand country anyways.

I finished it and I can say it was fun.
I would not agree with a 9.7, but a solid 8.
Between this and SaGa games I've been having a great time with JRPGs lately.

SE are idiots, thats nothing new. The only good thing they ever did was Dragon Quest

NOOOO YOU JUST HAVE TO CLICK X AND THEN DO NOTHING ELSE AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIII!!!!!!

you NPCs are incapable of original thought

Do you know if there are secrets in this game like the world map in FF8?

looks good but no woman alive is still wearing those grandma panties and it's crazy how games are forced to have more puritan standards than actual reality kek

kek this spamming faggot finally got banned?

my gf wears those panties...
do you really think women today only wear thin panties that are borderline thongs?

that's not a real place that exists in actual reality and looks like that so no, it's not entirely realistic.

those are period panties so that's the only time they're worn nowadays but you don't usually wear them as a woman if you're not on your period

what time period do you think this game is set in you fucking retard?

masons are degenerate tranny faggots and they worship the devil, emulating them is not a good sign

You're a retard and you've never seen a real woman's panties in your life.

why are you upset baby?

cute brown incel rage

Inafune was right. Japanese people just suck

she was minority coded
that is why she had a great ass
elves are asian/nordic coded, so they get nerfed
racism

Metaphor

Actually great. It's peak.

Chained Echoes

Not even a JRPG you dumb nigger tranny.

Chained Echoes was fucking dogshit. I think Metaphor was alright, solid 6.5/10. That said, E33 is kino. Unironically best RPG I've played in the last 6 years. When youtu.be/-i_nT9d-mK8?t=2m10s kicked in near the end of the game I fucking NUTTED. The parrying is kind of retarded, though.

this webm makes me rock hard, god damn

Even more impressive when you account for the fact that it doesn't get the nintendo bump.

the crazy part is the critic reviews with the handicap of not having SBI or other "consultants"

The Triple Suicide -> Last Stand strategy is genuinely ridiculous. I love that the game lets you do zany shit like this.

So many mechanics that would be worthless fluff in other games can be made genuinely strong in this one, it's superb.

he still doesn't know how metacritic works

lol

story

Irrelevant in a video game.

Nier has a brilliant story but it's told poorly because of atrocious pacing and awful shounen anime tier characterization.

retard

What? Almost every game since Dark Souls 1 came out now has a forced parry/dodge mechanic.

?

HSR is a better game and has great animations :)

SE loses every time a turn-based game is successful.

SE loses

nice headcanon retard.

Almost every big youtuber hates turn based combat, and calls it outdated.

Turns out they only have played Pokemon

I wont play a JRPG without Japanese dub

Its Pokemon or Persona 5. You have people like yahtzee and dunkey praise P5 to high heavens and they hate jrpgs

And yet

Good thing they all profited and Rebirth is getting a sequel in the next 3 years.

except now the gameplay is guitar hero

They're abject failures.

Squenix is losing to Bamco according to your screenshot anon theyre not winning shit.

especially compared to games like HSR.

LOL
LMAO EVEN
you fucking faggots really can't help yourselves, holy shit

Shut up and praise the all mighty baguette power

This game looks great. Is the original language french or english? Wondering what's the best way to experience this game if you can speak both languages

Lip sync was made one the english version

originally was intended to be only english, they added french after high demand

Devs stated that the intended language is english, which is also what the lip sync is based on.

They hated Jesus because he told the truth

appreciate the input boys. english it is

HSR

LOL

Was with you until you brought up gachaslop

Gets a +20 for Nip bias

HSR

Holy shit. I didn't think Metaphor was amazing or anything like that but it sure as fuck is better than gachaslop. Your jpg collecting simulator is not real vidya, chang

English is the original dub.
But the french dub is pretty high quality with VAs like Adeline Chetail or Feodor Atkine

if you pick a single similarity between games that means they are all derivative

E33 is now Dark Souls because it has parries

retard on disability posts a screenshot of an article with no context

other retard on disability replies posting a screenshot of an article with no context

they do this for multiple threads every single day

This is just Anon Babble now isn't it?

Both getting new merch daily and Rebirth is getting a sequel before metaflop and E33
Bamco has gundam and From Software. They are over the shitty company that used to compete with Nintendo and Sony so I'm happy.

Both games failed to generate profits. They're still attempting to do so, but failing to. SE's a failure, being outdone by much smaller companies and indie devs. Grim.

Both games failed to generate profits.

good thing your headcanon doesn't mean shit in reality.

Bamco has gundam and From Software

Aren't you aware sony bought kadokawa who owns the from software shit?

Nintendo is Japan's richest company

Ranked 594th in the world

Fucking top kek

an orchestra is indicative of a games' success

Bleeding money more like

Good thing It's getting a sequel before your shitty franchise. SE will outlive your bloodline.

you know at least 20% population in france is black right?

deserved.

Wait. Because I didn't clean Noco's shop clean before he moved to the village, that inventory is simply lost to me forever now?
What the fuck...

I returned to his hut in the waters and there is no shop there. And he refuses to sell me shit in the village. I had more than enough money to buy the stuff too. I just wanted to open the gate so that I could more easily traverse the overworld.

I wouldn't say Tomato Adventure is bad but it certainly heavily overstays its welcome by the time you reach Mayonen Land which is like the third out of six towns.
Half the playtime of the game is literally playing a rigged card game called Gimica while the other half is using Gimmicks (The attacks that are basically minigames) in battles where enemies die in a single hit and 80% of the Gimmicks have some of the worst trigger conditions possible to succeed in.

You want to be playing with Gimmicks all at level 7 because anything lower makes the game even easier to beat, but the Gimmicks at level 7 are like

Pick one out of ten tiles and hope you hit that 10% chance otherwise do half damage.

Within a split second move this extremely slow box to block a ball in this rectangle from reaching the opposite side it spawns in, but we have no hints where it spawns.

We will show you a ball move on a line for .50 of a second and you have to place this 1mm thick box over that section and hope you got it right.

It's effectively impossible to die because you have so much money, items, extremely overpowered Gimmicks, and most of the difficulty is just actually succeeding at the minigames.

It's astounding the Mario and Luigi guys made it because I was disappointed.

And yet you'll cry about Metaphor for years to come when people inevitably shit on remake part 3. Squenix will churn out the worst kinds of games and you'll keep giving them head. For free.

Both games failed to generate profits. They're still attempting to do so, but failing to. SE's a failure, being outdone by much smaller companies and indie devs. Grim.

Story premise seems interesting. It's only been out for a few days so I have not played it yet. Metaphor isn't even as good as SMTV. I fail to see what others see in the game. SMTV both looks and plays much better and it's the same damn company.

SMTVV has great gameplay but the reason its not lauded enough is because unfortunately, for a lot of people good gameplay is not enough to hook them to a JRPG, it needs to have a decent story and ending, something that eludes the IP for most people who arent already SMTfans.

metaflop has 0 theads so laughing at how forgotten it is depite the astroturfing will never stop being funny.

Squenix will

keep being independant unlike faglus or E33 devs.
Rebirth merch alone has made more money than their turn based games.

There are 0 final fantasy threads right now outside of threads shitting o it ehats your point?

I've only seen gameplay footage but the UI seem obnoxious. Who the fuck told them the skill menu needed to be slanted. Even purseowner with its goofy stylized UI doesn't do this. Is that something you can turn off?

Yeah, the story of SMTVV wasn't great. Gameplay was, though. I can do with a good story, or gameplay.

Uh oh the metaflop discord is seething at FF again.

WRPG

It may be made in the west but it's a JRPG. It has every single thing that defines the flow of a JRPG, not a WRPG.

And Rebirth and XVI have yet to make a profit across software and merchandise. Abject failures.

1 came out day one and the other was a year late port. Also one game gave all the money to their parent company.

comparing Metaphor to SE's actionslop

Even if E33 is better, Metaphor is still better than what FF has become.

oh yes I love bloat and time jannies please give me more slop

Pitting these 2 titles against each other is useless because everyone knows only a Squenix shill would do this. Try other avenues of attack, yours is obvious

Metaphor is still better than what FF has become.

Good thing nobody but goy journos and faglus cult members agree

Case in point. Metaphor's time has come and go and youre still fighting that war. This is just going to get more people shitting on FF than anythibg else.

Is the combat is expedition 33 better than the combat in rebirth?

Thread about a new game called Expedition 33

Half the thread is talking about another game called Metaphor that has literally nothing to do with it

huh?

This game is extremely mid. The people giving it 10/10s are just trying to advance various agendas like pushing turn-based games and anti-woke sentiment

This area is pissing me off so many spots I can't figure out how to get to

Squenix shill trying to pit 2 fambases against each other. Kike strategy, they tried this one before. Hell, go check out the other E33 thrrads you'll find the same guy crying about it

retard with reaction times of a sloth gets angry when games ask him to do more then menu

kek

ah don't tell me it's one of those faggot games where you must play as a w*man

Yes

You get to choose who you control. So you can follow the dudes ass all the time if that's what you want.

Worse you play as the french

can you fuck girls in this game?

He did nothing wrong

then

S A A R

A

If you don't like Legend of Dragoon, you will never be my nigga.

need a prequel where you play as him

So is it actually good or is it just ammo for rpg shitposting war?

"action commands bad" is just as reductive as "turn based bad". It's all about the execution of it, and each game in that image did it completely differently.

Mix of FFX and Legend of Dragoon so pretty good. The story is high kinography. The parrying is hard to get used to

It's genuinely breathtaking. As close to a 10/10 game as can exist.

No YOU'RE breathtaking!!!

can someone help me with the parry?
it is not even that the time window is too narrow, but that the fucking tell is basically non-existent and even intentionally misleading
if you will have no fucking effect, at least use another obvious tell to time the parry ffs
love the game, but srsly fuck

ebonics

lol, what a gay

My 3060(12GB) died during a Expedition 33 fight.
Guess I'm finally upgrading...

Shadow hearts is such a fucking slog

Got me a 3070 (8gb)
can I run it???
1080p, of course

I ran it in 1440P on 'Balanced DLSS' at around 60fps.
Everything on Medium, except textures(high).
I knew I tempted fate when I put particles and shadows on 'High'. It still ran at 60FPS. For about 2 minutes and killed my GPU.
You can definitely play it.

nice, thanks

Larian humiliated YoshiP's claim turn-based games are outdated the same year he said it. MMORPG WoW-based games are outdated.

Just finished Act 1 and yeah, game is fucking great. I really need to get better at parrying.

holy shit
you were right
I was timing it to tightly at the start of the tell
but the sound effect becoming louder (like something grazing your ear fast) was actually a way more precise tell and literally raped the boss with little difficulty

Fag Pass sissies and Barry reviewbombing

was it made by japanese people in japan with japanese sensibilities? no
fuck off nigger, it's not a JRPG. it's influenced by them but it's just not one.

zoomers proclaim every new thing is the best thing ever
they have no hindsight, no metaphor isnt the best rpg nor is this. probably mediocre at best

srsly
posting again to tell you how important this tip is for parrying
it is getting so easy that I think I should increase teh difficulty (started on normal)

708400905

keeps seething

probably

yes, zoomgroids are retarded subhumans, that's not up for debate. however this game is an actual masterpiece

HOLY FUCK PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THE ENTIRE GAME IS PARRYSLOP. IS THIS REALLY WHAT THE DEFENSE IS FOR 30 HOURS?

I'm 38. Game is dope as fuck. And yes, zoomers are brown and retarded.

You can dodge or dump stats into defense and vitality if you suck at parrying. That's what I do.

pcgamer.com/games/rpg/clair-obscur-expedition-33-review/

7/10

why?

parryslop is annoying and difficulty options dont do anything

Metaphor is a new IP and with a budget way lower than FF

Also, FF rebirth is a "remake" of one of the most sucessful JRPG in history

Its a big failure for Square, no doubt, they were getting buttfucked by atlus and are now getting buttfucked by random baguette

OST is 8 hours and 15 minutes long

this guy Lorien Testard is my hero

fpbp this game is a joke and their damage calculation algorithms are juvenile
the story is unrealistic because the moment the characters realized they are french theyd accept their death and erasure for the greater good

Metaphor is a new IP

lol

these days AI is used a lot for game osts
Elden ring was pretty shit for it

You haven't listened to a single second of this OST if you think it was made by AI.

imagine the sheer quantity of sperm (in liters) you'd have to consume to type a post like this

it's almost like the game is more fun when you make the most exciting part of gameplay more involved than just pressing a single button to select a move.

I fucking suck at parrying and barely ever even manage to do it successfully yet I've still gotten through just fine on normal with the dodge and actually using the defense and vitality stats. Homeboy needs a journalist difficulty I guess.

No amount of contrarian bitching will take away the sales and soon to be awards this is gonna get. This studio is gonna make bank given its size and make tons more games now.

just pray that some greasy kikes like embracer don't get their slimy mitts on them.. i'm genuinely scared, man. i can picture the hooknose fucks rubbing their hands together right now while drafting up offers to buy the studio. after KCD1 -> KCD2, nothing is fucking sacred anymore

Based

from what i saw it was ultra generic low effort crap, ive only seen it on video and not played it myself
claiming its the best game of all time would have had a better reaction than fucking crickets to the public at large

Embracer has no money left. After this release they wouldn't even be allowed into the building for a bidding war.

This is crazy with good crit rate when you spam a ton of free aim attacks with all the free aim and bonus AP on status and kill luminas. Most encounters no one else on my team gets to act

from what i saw

if you haven't played it why the FUCK ARE YOU HERE TALKING SHIT YOU FAT FUCKING FAGGOT
god damn i hope Anon Babble dies again, the pure seethe fucking morons like you cause in me is bad for my health

vitality and agility are the best stats
they give a bit of attack and defense respectively, and they allow you to endure a bit more, which means you have more chances of learning the pattern/timing in a longer fight, and you act more often
might, luck and defense just cannot compete, unless it is a very specific build

base attack can break

It would be good even without crit. But yeah, that's a sick looking weapon. I'm not far enough into the game to see drops like that though.

You havent actually disproved him. It is a new IP.

BUT PERSONA MECHANICS

Doesnt mean shit. People dont treat Bravely Default as Final Fantasy despite the clamoring of disenfranchised FF purists that it is one.

When I get used to the enemy timings enough that I can stop sucking I'll give some thought to rerolling out of defense but as of now it's useful for me.

Metaflop took 8 years to make and Rebirth took 4. Rebirth on PS5 outsold metaflop which launched on every console besides switch.

defense is not bad, but it is inconsistent because the already small secondary offensive boost that defensive stat gets is critical chance

vitality gets boosts to might, besides heals being mostly based on max hp

agility is great because of action economy, a bit of defense and allowing you to stack and build things more often

years it took to make is irrelevant compared to budget, retard

sales cuck hours

reddit is the other way sisters, go jerk off about your favorite slop being popular with normalfags there

Piss5

It underperformed and forced SQ to go multiplat. Doesnt matter if it outsold Metaphor if the CEOs consider it a flop.

You are a fucking moron kek. Rebirth also reused a bunch of assests.
Good thing it's getting a sequel before your favorite series does.

Doesnt matter if Metaphor doesnt get a sequel, it did its thing, nothing is supposed to go on forever, something that the FF7 devs should have realized before making these godawful remakes. Even if it ceases to get a new entry, you would still cry about it, and thats just dividends at this point

The combat in Rebirth is a lot better than the combat in Expedition 33

Bad western UI

I am a philosopher

this is my house

(your house seems rather empty)

yes, just like our lives when you think about it

(huh?)

buy my book

There is a whole village in E33 dedicated to shitting on this. It's kino.

put on the picto that gives you 50% more defense, get ap on hit, level vit, etc.
plenty of options if you dont want to parry

fascinating that a game that flopped had multiple articles come out in the past day or two about how it exceeded sales expectations

dont have to parry if you kill them first

faglus is poor as shit and would be bankrupt without Sega buying them

yea no one cares.

this faggot again posting this same shit again

lmfao. kill yourself, retard. you series-warring subhumans are genuinely such a waste of oxygen it's unreal. rebirth is great, metaphor is great, expedition 33 is great. fuck off you jaded piece of shit.

Just use dodge then you baby.

You obviously cared enough to bring that up. Call a jew a jew and he writhes in pain.

Metaphor was overrated slop what planet are you on?

Was metaphor really that bad? I didnt play it but its ps2 graphics are kinda unsettling.

it's great, not the greatest game ever but still very good. most people shitting on it are ff fagboys, tendies, faggots who fell for the "its woke" tranny psyop, and zoomers. if you like jrpg's you will like it

So the theme of this game is escapism is bad, genociding the french is good?

i'm really sad this game doesn't have HDR, it already looks so good but some good HDR would be fucking amazing. the environments are perfect for it

Its OK, much like Persona 5. I think its biggest fumble is that the 3/4ths mark was clearly rushed and theres a number of recycled side dungeons. Otherwise its par per course for your typical atlus release.

Metaphor has no gay. No negroes. Kyaru-folks(named from Priconne's Kot) replace blacks here. While 3H is more pozzed than this, spite people deny it. For having racism theme by Doodoo, Petra and Claude, and caste discrimination by crest, and having gay romance aside from Kingdom people.

Considering nobody talks about it anymore and everyone agrees E33 shits all over it. Yes.

nobody talks about it anymore

not true, it lives completely rent free in plenty of minds including in this very thread

Which bonus did metaphor got? It has 94 metascore. It lacks gay and negroes.

Metaphor died like a bitch 3 months after its launch.

Baldurs Gate 3 is an execption and an anomaly. You might as well compare Metaphor to CS:GO

just how low of an iq exactly does one have to have to make posts like this? serious question

Baldurs Gate 3 is convenient for you niggers if it suits your argument when you would shit on it for bearfucking and being gay. Fuck off.

Both are RPGs, you fucking retard.
Nope, I love BG3. And I'm happy to see it thriving + Faglusops dying and being forgotten.

I love BG3

Sure you do

listen to the music

Rhythm, in my turn-based game?
10/10 buying now last game with a cue for parrying was Legend of Dragoon and that was more of a visual cue with a sudden flash of light

The parry is intentionally strict because the reward is pretty good. Dodging can be done by most people

japan tunes down their fan serive

france gives us this

what is happening?

Yeah. Japan used to make great games like Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, BoTW, Xenoblade 2, MHW, RE7, RE4R, Ryza 1-3, SF6, Mario wonder, Elden ring, Unicorn overlord, Like a dragon 7, Asstro bot, metaphor since 2017, but how can they fall so soon this year and get mogged by Chinese black ships like genshin, starrail, ZZZ,WuWa, Wukong, Lost soul aside, Phantom blade zero,
Korean black ship Like Khazan and Inzoi, and French black ship like Clair obscur and Asscreed shadow? Why did Japanese game which was glorious in 2024 tremble so easily?
No Japanese game this year got metascore over 90. When Western game was suffering this last year. But it became opposite this year, man.
Even switch 2 won't save Japanese game!! En taro Xi Jinping!! My life for China!! Templari por Nanking!! Khassar de China!!

Only if you care to bother with Squenix
/Bamco/Capcom shit. Nicher devs still do the same cliche even if theyre tired

Ishiba and Zaimusho banned bikinis from Japanese console game. LDP must lose in next vote to have more fanservice. No bikini allowed in nintendo switch third party, even worse. Even China censors less than Japan now. China has no feminist.

Capcom has pantyshot in SF6 tho. And MH wilds have revealing gears while Rise Break lack bikini armor like gears.
Juri got her classic outfit reverse censored from SF5 to SF6. Mai didn't wear shirts and spats in SF6.

Problem with MHWi and SF6 arent those, its how they make their women look terrible due to RE engine. Mai is an outlier because they have to do guest characters justice. At the very least at least OG costume Elena looks OK.

For Bamco, pic rel is absolute state of swimsuit event in relevant Jap gacha. Gakumas has no bikinis nor one pieced swimsuits and replaced them with ugly rashguard. Why cannot Gakumas have proper bikini unlike other IM@S? Is it due to DEI policy? They would censor Other IM@S swimsuits in Arcade too...

Yeah. Juri got her "not-classic" outfit reverse censored from SF5 by removing shirts.

And Konami won't censor for not caring about DEI. and Sega makes Hot demons like Mara-sama.

Sounds fun, I'm going to approach this like I'm playing LoD.

entire thread is just metaflop vs final fagtasy samefag warring

holy redditoly

Metaphor has 94 metascore and has no negroes, no troons and gays.
