He refuses to play a masterpiece because of his ego

he refuses to play a masterpiece because of his ego

You are the problem with the modern gaming industry, refuses to play a great game— a strong candidate for GOTY —, just because most people enjoy it.
Gets mad with the game because it's not from your nihon island, or because doesn't have anime graphics, or even worse, it's not from your beloved company, so he doesn't want to be compelled to push his beloved company to do better.

You are the worse this capitalism system has to offers, you are a shame.

You are the reason why companies like Nintendo & GameFreak keep releasing terrible games, and why Atlus still creates childish games and SquareEnix is dead.

Disgusting

Based

It just looks faggy as fuck, sorry OP, no buy

Sell me on this game in complete detail. I love the fuck out of Japanese games but am willing to give this a shot.

get 75% of the way through a boss fight

pulls out the bullshit final act thing/second right/miraculously heal to full health

i refuse to play it because there is no fucking way a game that is shilled by Anon Babble like their life depends on it could be anything but worth playing.

player numbers

People played it on gamepass for 10 minutes and shut it off.

it has received 53,864 reviews on steam alone

jeet really ran his idea through chat gpt so as not to be called out lmao. how fucking embarassing. anyway game is fine honestly 8/10 but everything got progressively worse for me as the story went on, constant "erm acthsually" reveals and shit, none of which i found interesting. enjoyed it but will never play again

it wasn't good but I enjoyed it

what even is wrong with people like you?

Holy fucking ESL. Not really helping your case, bud.

it wasn't good but I enjoyed it

I think we find our jeet

Kill yourself Rajesh. You've been spamming this dogshit game ever since it's announcement. I hope you die in absolute misery.

actually we found the samefag third worlder but whatever, i never said any of that but considering you can't write or read english properly it makes sense that you'd completely misconstrue my post.

you... may want to look that word up, you obviously won't understand it. maybe run your reply through chat gpt like you did the OP, complete with OBVIOUS signs of AI-generated fuckery that you didn't even bother to hide.

fuckery

you should have started here, wouldn't have bothered with the rest of your schizo nonsense.

They did way better than they expected financially. So why do you care if some people don't wanna play your goty?

what does that even mean. ESL that makes no fucking sense ahaha. jesus christ dude what are you even saying? do you know what.... no, nevermind dude. you have my sympathies for being a third worlder. hope you redeem some gift cards in the near future and i hope these frenchies are paying you well, but it'd be in your best interest to actually learn english properly and not rely on chat gpt when making these threads. anyone with a small grasp of the english language can see right through you.

he doubles down

like clockwork

I have to admit I am like that, but fortunately I wanted to play since the reveal trailer, when the game wasn't popular and preordered immediately when it became available.
There's a good chance I wouldn't want to play it, if I found out about it after the release. But in my defence, at least I'm not a faggot who shits on games he didn't even try to play. I'd just not play it, without calling everyone who likes it a shill etc.
I just beat this girl, by the way and watched the cutscenes. What a ride. Shame I'm getting close to finishing the game though.

knowing that someone knows more than one language which requires at least some intelligence isn't helping their case

Wdym """"ego""", it just looks like shit, parry slop linear turn based rpg does not look like fun to me at all. And the rest just looks subpar at best, yeah the graphics are pretty good, sure, don't care when the artstyle just isn't there for me

i don't like jayarrpeegees okay

You are the worse this capitalism system has to offers

Taking this as a compliment. I'd hate to offer anything of value to such a fundamentally broken system, even if there's no known alternatives that would do better.

i dont like the french

Luckily, I am not that autistic.
I'll like for someone to explain this retarded behavior to me.

masterpiece

pic unrel

Nah I am just gonna wait for the game to be forgotten before I play it.
I have like 3 SaGa games to play and like 5 other JRPGs I want to play before giving this game a try.

I...I..I won't play it because you TOLD me to

Off yourself faggot

Side note people like you are not helping this game is my goty and a 10 easily but damn I wanna scroll without seeing 15 threads of this shit i know bumping is part of the problem but seriously can we confine it to 5 or less threads

inb4 shill campaign

There's no paid shills for this fucking game people are just autistically spamming these threads for (YOU)s

I'm not playing it because I got spoiled.
Hoping dementia gets me so I can play it when I'm old.

Retarded biased cuck frog shill

or because doesn't have anime graphics

This is genuinely a big turnoff for me. The game is probably great but the aesthetics are not for me. I don't really like when games try to look realistic. I'm playing through hundred line right now anyway, and considering my progression rate, I'd say I still have 200+ hours to go. Maybe I'll play this game at some point but that won't happen any time soon

I'm not playing because dodge and parry in a turn based game does not appeal to me

parryslop

Gen Z slang invalidates your complaints

linear

There's no such thing as a good open world RPG, survival games maybe but RPGs never do it right because it's not possible. Being able to "go anywhere and do anything" does not make your game better it makes it padded with filler content.

It's not for me

Valid It's not for everyone but the reasons you listed outside the artstyle are retarded

I don't like turn based games.

It seriously looks good can you break down what about anime graphics makes the games look better to you? For me it takes me out the faces and features are so offputting when your game looks like persona smt genshit whatever unitylike graphics. At least jp games like RE and FF get designs right imo

imagine liking freemason nepobaby ue5 piles of shit

i cbf'd to do a whole write up but E33 is the first western game i've played in the entire 2020's because i have nothing but contempt for the entirety of the filthy faggot infested westoid industry. i've been playing jrpg's for nearly 30 years and they've been my favorite genre since i was a little kid.
this game is deserving of every bit of praise it receives. keep in mind that everybody who actually played it loves it, and everybody who shits on it hasn't played it. this is true in 99% of cases.

don't fall for the anti-shills, they will accuse everyone who likes the game of being shills when in reality they are likely paid by big slop corpos to shit on the game because not only did their game absolutely mog anything they've made in years, they charged $45 on top of it.

I don't play games that look like and play like shit. I don't even bother to pirate them.

Now fuck off, shillbot.

Just play it bro, it's good

No, everything done with Unreal Engine is garbage and the only people praising this are normies who hate anime because it's icky

Good. If you couldn't tell from the trailer that the game is worth checking out, you are literally not white. Anybody with a soul saw the reveal trailer last year and had been hyped since. You don't deserve to experience kino

not because you TOLD me to but because YOU- told me to you shitskin. You have dogshit taste like the rest of Anon Babble which is made abundantly clear by the catalog.

you didn't play it and thus your opinion is worthless. also sure there are some normalfags who do what you say but actual jrpg fans love the game

This is the game that Final Fantasy was supposed to become. It's FF9, but as a modern game.

I'm just a massive weeb, so honestly I think I conditioned myself to only want anime stuff by only playing and watching that stuff for years

normies

Agree with most of this I've only met 1 person out of the 6 or so friends who bought it that didn't like it and he's a faggot who only buys anime games and fotm horror games then drops them immediately.

The truth is JRPG players love this game everyone of my friends who I discuss JRPGs with likes this game they may rate it differently but it's such a solid game that as a JRPG player you're doing yourself a disservice actively avoiding this game for any of the usual reasons like

muh anime graphics

french

shilled

parry

Game goes even harder if you like Rhythm games and JRPGs. Soundtrack is one of the best I've heard to date 0 bad songs across the board which is impressive. They nail it especially with how tracks are cut and muffled on battle win to tie into the slowmo, but I digress just play the game anon. Pirate it if you must but definitely give it a try

You can't explain what makes the game good, so your opinion is worthless too
The difference is that I'm just minding my own business while you are a shill trying to sell people western garbage by telling them it's like "the good Japanese games"

obvious shill campaign

french calling themselves japanese

these two things are enough to make it impossible to be unbiased towards the game. might try it in a decade or so, after I've forgotten this debacle.

I'm just minding my own business

I wish that were the case.

If the lyrics of the songs are all explaining the plot the way an Anime song does, doesn't that ruin/spoil it a little bit for french speaking people?

Grr I disagree with you therefore you must be brown no one but my mommy tells me what to do

When you move out of the basement you can have an opinion with the rest of us adults

i can explain why it's good, i'm just not going to. it's been explained in every single thread, you'd have to be actively avoiding all discussion of this game to not see people describe why it's good

I'm just minding my own business

LMAO

you are a shill

picrel, faggoid

but actual jrpg fans love the game

Jesus fuck this has to be ragebait at this point, "actual jrpg fans" do not fucking want QTE's up the ass.
This game offers almost absolutely nothing in the RPG side of things, customization is as bland as it can get.
Presentation is good, I won't complain about it, aside from the fact that I hate how flashy shit is in a battle, press X to cool with a billion bright and flashy particle effects gets tiring extremely quickly if it appears in everything you do.
Even The Last Remnant on Xbox 360 (before they made it a bit more tolerable) had more options for customization on an individual manner than this game.
This game is fun, but the core audience for it seems to be the same Dark souls "PREPARE TO DIE EDITION!" fart sniffers that think whatever they touch is the peak of the genre, without having played a single fucking thing outside of whatever is mainstream for the moment.

Jesus fuck this has to be ragebait at this point, "actual jrpg fans" do not fucking want QTE's up the ass.

most people aren't fucking autistic and can handle one fucking game having unique mechanics you fucking idiot. do jrpg fans also not like legend of dragoon or mario rpg's?

This game offers almost absolutely nothing in the RPG side of things, customization is as bland as it can get.

i won't even ask you to post achievements and playtime since it's already quite obvious you didn't play it, nigger

i don't speak frog and don't know the lyrics to the early game songs, but in the endgame song that has lyrics that describe the story, it's not a spoiler at that point since you already know what's going on

YOU don't get to decide what JRPG fans like ONLY I DO

I don't like dark souls I do like JRPGs I do like expedition 33 because like most JRPG fans I do like pressing a button and seeing a flashy animation it makes me feel cool when I parry an attack string in this game, when I parry bosses or other players in ds2/3 I get a free kill and feel like I cheated myself out of a fight. Stop comparing it to fromsoft games it's pokemon because you can burn the enemy and teach esquie surf it's not old resident evil because it has QTEs it's its own game

you plan on putting that goalpost down?

The end game songs people talk about being interesting if you translate are in the trailers for the game (presumably because they knew the renoir boss music was the best song)

i would not be surprised the people spamming shill work for ubisoft. They lost talented devs are now scrambling to make it so no other devs realize they can ditch ubisoft and be successful.

Ok retard, have fun defending the game without never actually talking about it while I go have fun playing Final Fantasy 9

french speaking people

french

people

They are not people anon

Yea I'll drop it it outside in the sun where you're scared to go

You know why QTEs are barely a thing anymore? Because no one likes them.

Because no one likes them.

kek, you going to keep this same energy when E33 wins goty? make sure you tie the noose before the show starts.

I tried it. Got to a cutscene that depicted a blonde girl standing next to a monkey, then I alt+f4'ed and uninstalled.

This theory only works if shills aren’t making the threads.

Not to be contrarian but I always liked them especially in RE4/5 and Superstar Saga idk why people get so butthurt over them like you'd rather be doing nothing than interacting with the game?

I refuse to play it because turn based games are dogshit. No ifs, no ands, no buts, no exceptions.

goty

holy shit you niggercattle

Nonsense, they can do two things at once, Ubisoft is retarded after all.

You're retarded and a faggot but i still kek'd

he's the one being a contrarian. nobody said every turn based game needs them or that they inherently make turn based combat better. implying a single fucking game can't have them and is automatically shit because of it IS contrarian, especially when everyone actually loves the game
kill yourself, zoomgroid. adults are speaking.

seething already before it even wins

it's clearly a reddit game
no idea why everyone likes it
clown world

Which one? There’s like 50 and they all award based upon what they’re paid

I dont play woke trash lols. /skip.

I'm not even goign to pirate this abomination of ugly unreal engine effects. Don't give a shit if the gameplay is masterpiece levels. Make a 2d graphic remake if you want me to play it so badly.

kill yourself, zoomgroid. adults are speaking.

It's fine if you enjoy eating shit just don't pretend like everyone has bad taste for refusing to partake.

this is a turn-based enjoyer board, if you think turn-based games are shit you are a subhuman underage faggot and deserve to be skinned alive in the middle of town

Contrarianism isn’t real. It’s a post-hoc description used by shills to dismiss all criticism/fact they don’t like.

But hey, at least you’re not pretending ripping off super mario rpg is revolutionary anymore

I guess but I also really like rhythm games so the QTEs feel super satisfying to me especially the slow down on counter attack with the music fading out then in holy it's so fucking peak man

Contrarianism isn’t real.

uttering these words on Anon Babble of all places

first day here?

Because everything that is being posted about it is disingenuous

You didnt get spoiled, you spoiled it yourself.

another shill thread

Yes anon, everyone knows the normie love of rhythm games is what made fromsoft successful.

Please understand the game is not woke

Devs very clearly state all the things that inspired them and games they love I think we're past calling it a rip off and maybe on to understanding that you can be inspired without copying mechanics 1:1 the parry system is unique to this game it feels more like that drakkenguard boss than mario rpg anyway

Yes, as this is the place that believes in it the most, as it’s an easy way to dismiss any sentiment you personally don’t hold.

Doesn’t make it real, just makes Anon Babble pathetic.

Suck my dick, Pierre. I don't play stuttery UE slop at launch just because a bunch of fucking faggots on bluesky are creaming their panties over it.

game starts out as a thus far unique kino odyssey story with trauma bonding

turns into a whatever nothing matters family drama

Peaked in Act 1/part way through 2 hard, saved later only by good acting but smashing two different stories into one the way they did didn't land

It's a jrpg without much padding and doesn't hold your hand in regards to the story and exploration. There's no minimap in the levels, only a map for the overworld. I love rpgs and Expedition 33 is good. It's a bit overhyped by people acting like it's a 10/10 but it's an 8.5 at least. If you haven't played a lot of rpgs it probably shoots up an entire point when you don't realize which games they're taking notes from but even if you do, it's still a great game.

I WISH rhythm games were more normiepilled fuck we'd be getting them out the ass if they were as popular as FPS shilll them to the masses I need more

this is a turn-based enjoyer board

Is that impressive?

Why is every post against this game, whining about "shills" or UE, its blatantly obvious its one turbo butthurt faggot? Atleast try to change up your posts dumbfuck.

There isn’t really a way to try to mix QTEs and turn based rpg without just straight ripping off super mario rpg. But again, the shills have dropped the idea this is “evolutionary” everywhere except the steam blurb.

About to buy 3 more copies this is the funniest thing I've seen related to the game thus far

It’s not a jrpg as it isn’t Japanese. It’s french. It’s a wrpg

why is every post in an obvious shill thread talking about the obvious shilling?

copy-pasted NPCs everywhere

terrible and extremely glaring lighting

a city based on Paris, but it is full of niggers

turn-trash combat

women that look like they are wearing wigs made out of bristles

tons of flipped assets from the Unreal Store

terrible soundtrack designed to give the listener ear cancer

...

Hard fucking pass. The game is too pretentious for my taste.

game is from France

live in America

Japan is west of me

calling it a WRPG is the same as JRPG

I accept your concession

when you don't realize which games they're taking notes from

I genuinely like it more than most of the games it takes notes from, really.
Mostly because it executes its story and themes WAY better than most of them.

a city based on Paris, but it is full of niggers

So completely accurate?

Lol thats the best cope you could come up with? Really?

The only other games ever mentioned in E33 threads are The Legend of Dragoon and M&L

Yet people in here always act as if they've played shit past than FF7 and DQ8

Game is a solid 7, and most of it comes from the visuals.
Emerald Beyond has actual unique gameplay without the need of QTEs, yet I see none of you talking about it.

It's a jrpg structure, it appeals to people that like jrpgs. Western RPGs usually aren't turn based unless they're crpgs but even those can be rtwp.

everything is east of you too, with that mentally retarded logic

The Strokes of "RPGs"

Emerald Beyond

Looks gay. Any arguments?

>copy-pasted NPCs everywhere

after the first 30 minutes of the game there are no NPC's ever again, why the fuck wouldn't they copy-paste them?

>a city based on Paris, but it is full of niggers

you never see one again after the first 30 minutes and ultimately every last one of them dies. also real paris has 80% nogs compared to E33 having 10%

terrible soundtrack designed to give the listener ear cancer

nevermind i've typed way too long of a response to bait, you got me

If you left everything else out and just said it was pretentious I'd understand but none of your complaints are valid past 30m(less than 1%) of the game

If it’s not Japanese, it’s not a jrpg. As the term exists because jrpgs have wildly different “structures,” themes, art styles, gameplay mechanics, etc, etc, but are still all very distinctly Japanese.

I dunno, I enjoyed the first Nier and FFTA more personally. It's really just those 2 games mashed together with some Super Mario RPG combat.

Ok so there is no west in existence therefore we will call it a JRPG glad we could agree anon

Emerald Beyond has actual unique gameplay without the need of QTEs, yet I see none of you talking about it.

i started it and got filtered by the garbage VN-lite storytelling. i didn't even make it to the combat because everything else was so offputting. why even bring up something so niche as a comparison?

I just don't like the genre :^)

Mwaaaah, the french, finest delusions in the world

anything with ios/android in the list of platforms is not worth consideration

I just don't care

Shock le'blue they're on to me mon ami

seething about Japan and anime out of nowhere

A great way to advertise, shilltranny.

AVEC!

None of the people in here are actually interested in turn based games or JRPGs, it's literally the bottom of the barrel of twitter and reddit sludge barking at trees, games like Emerald Beyond are for actual RPG enthusiasts and way too much for these "people" to handle.

Jrpgs descend from Ultima and Wizardy which are western games, just think of it as things coming full circle.

Also a lot of the JRPG staples and tropes are still there regardless, as shown by Anon Babble lusting over the underage girl because it's a French game so of course there's an underage girl in the game about 30 year olds.

What would you call an rpg made in rpg maker that was made by a westener? That's not a wrpg, wrpgs don't play like that. Something like Crystal Project obviously isn't a wrpg either. It fits less into the wrpg label than the jrpg label because wrpgs are basically immersive sims.

this, the cope replies you got only prove you correct

True you have to be really scraping the bottom of the barrel to enjoy that mobile trash

Why is every single thread or discussion related to this game earmarked by aggressively confrontational behavior and assertion that literally any person who is not feverishly obsessed with it is some Squeenix shill?

Tribalism and ego
Next question

Sad how this "mobile trash" runs circles around your braindead QTE movieslop, all those millions down the drain for a wholly mediocre game that is still stuck in the worst standards the 90's had to offer.

So does this game actually do anything interesting or is it just Paper Mario with Quixel assets?

Buy a fucking ad

uh huh I'm sure this mobile gachaslop is totally different from the rest

Yes, because for starters it's not a gacha at all, it's an actual RPG, unlike your QTE movieslop.

That's literally any """"rpg"""" thread after 15 in this board

it's not a gacha at all

we are now resorting to lies? lmao pathetic

tissuer

the snake

siren

This entire area was super kino.
I can't believe how good this game is.

You're the only one who's lying, shill, either that or you do not understand what gacha games are, which is another possibility given you do not play videogames at all

ok I'm thinking of buying this but I need some answers.
is the music good? is the story good? is there something I need to play before this?

20 years ago every game was this good.

well it's almost 3 times metaphor and 5 times ff rebirth

How many rolls did you spend to acquire such a babe? ;)

Based, those idiots will never be convinced though, to them JRPG means good so they call it JRPG.

The equivalent of how much you're being paid to shill this movieslop trash in here: Zero, because the game is not a gacha.

a game needs more than just combat, the VN-slop story of Emerald Beyond is very offputting.
i've been playing jrpg's longer than you btw and E33 is a great game, keep coping though

gee i wonder why this guy is shilling

These woketard trannies are losing pretty badly

No wonder they lose when they make dogshit like Veilguard and Avowed.

is the music good? i

best OST of the past 9 years

is the story good?

it's incredible, leave the thread immediately because spoilers are everywhere due to the nature of the story in this game. avoid all E33 threads

is there something I need to play before this?

nope

And all their derivatives of wizardry were filtered through their undeniably unique culture to become something completely unrecognizable as “derived from wizardry.” Mediocre artists steal, great artists steal so big you can’t even tell.

Yes the music is objectively good as long as you don't have some weird zoomershit tiktok taste
Yes the story is good, it's also controversial which gives it good talking points
No you don't have to play anything before it. The game teaches you the controls, put it on expert and fight Maelle in the prologue area at the dock port until you can win consistsntly, parry timing is sound based you'll be fine

2 billion players on mobile incel

Because there’s an active shill campaign for it and they’re trying to accuse others of what they’re doing to beat them to the punch. No one falls for it.

They were even, adorably, calling any pushback of the shilling “brown.”

source:I made it up

Cool

You have to use a different image while doomposting or it becomes obvious.

I just don't like turn-based combat.

Clair Obscur fan doesn't like JRPGs

shocker

If you hate pitbulls then you hate all dogs!

Emerald Beyond has more than just combat though, you make more choices in an hour of EB than the entirety of E33, the ramification of its campaigns are on a whole different level, the game progression in general is wholly unique and actually innovative, fusing RPG mechanics with various traditional tabletop formulae.

the VN-slop story of Emerald Beyond is very offputting.

It's not offputting, it just filters pseuds like you who want movies rather than games, EB also has way better writing, a massive cast of playable characters, tons of questlines with actual player decisions and roleplaying, meanwhile all you have is a mediocre moviegame on rails with ONE choice for two endings and pathetically bad combat and RPG mechanics.

why would you admit to being underage? you know it's banworthy, right kiddo?

If that screenshot is supposed to look good, it doesn't, it looks like Unreal Engine

having choices doesn't inherently make a game better. the best video game stories of all time have no choices to make.
i'm not even shitting on EB since i haven't played more than the demo, i'm just stating what made me lose interest. meanwhile you and countless other people in E33 threads have such strong opinions about a game you haven't played

And emerald beyond is still shit defended by a single person in this whole board.

Good point. I'm trying to think of another recent game with an map overworld, but I'm drawing blanks.

It has tons of customizability for the characters with different skills and tons of special abilities that you can apply to them.
And it has an explorable overworld.

did you spend 5 minutes thinking up that comment like you spend thinking which attack to use in your boring tbc games? :skullemoji: :skullemoji:

they need to nerf chromatic enemies. either youre a god gamer who can parry all of their moves or they do too much damage.

play this turn-based game

Do I look like a six year old Pokemon fan?

I can actually game now and am way past the turn-based stage.

Good morning Anon Babble.
This thread, based on the language of the OP, was made by someone butthurt at E33 and trying to poison its perception with toxic positivity. There are different active E33 threads up now with neutral OPs.
Of course, since there are many people who genuinely want to discuss the game, they're going to keep the thread bumped with organic conversation. However, other anons will wander in this active thread, see the inflammatory OP, read nothing else, post something about shills, which will cause the people discussing to respond negatively, fueling the narrative the OP of the thread wanted to push.
Please remain vigilant, and believe in a better Anon Babble.

having choices doesn't inherently make a game better.

It does when we're talking about RPGs, RPGs are played for the breadth of options they give you, and EB has that in spades, from story to combat.

the best video game stories of all time have no choices to make.

Says who? Even by your own low standards you're contradicting yourself as E33's narrative is explicitly built around the two different endings and their implication, you can't glaze E33 over Emerald Beyond in terms of story and then turn around and say the best stories have choices when the major point of E33's story is choosing between Maelle and Verso's sides of the emotional conflict.

meanwhile you and countless other people in E33 threads have such strong opinions about a game you haven't played

You mean like you and your shill buddy are doing with EB? Give me a break, you're pathetic, you've been shilling this game 24/7 while putting down everything that doesn't conform to its abysmal standards, tou have no respect nor any interest for the genre.

Do you think it's mostly Nintendo fans shitting on E33 around here?

Hard fucking pass. The game is too pretentious for my taste.

You aren't the only one, anon. Gamepass subscribers are also dropping this turn-trash slop like a hot potato, despite the fact that they can play for free.

that's the entire point of them you shitter

seems like the point is just to outlevel them

i killed every chromatic boss that i came across at the intended level for the zone. just press RB/R1 at the correct times

I didn't even know what game this is, OP.

check timeline

boss gets 1 turn

jk boss gets do two different attacks per turn

moveset is 3 all target and 1 single target

more fucking annoying stun spamming

there's a difference between "Nintendo fans" and tendies. tendies only have tendieslop consoles and are seething that the game isn't on their shit platform

SACRE BLEUX

Tendies shit on anything that doesn't run on their tablet, take a look at their off topic salesniggery circlejerk generals sometimes

This

No, personally I just don't care for most turn based games, especially the "4 niggas in a row" variant. Still mad I feel for the P5 meme.

parry autism without positioning autism

Whats the point?

should have shilled less then

copy-pasted NPCs everywhere

turn-trash combat

ok you didnt leave the prologue thanks.

terrible soundtrack designed to give the listener ear cancer

ah ok you are rage baiting.

I refuse to play it because it's turn-based and that shit sucks, simple as
Has nothing to do with ego

If you didnt buy this after seeing the reveal trailer there is no hope for your bugman ass

sell me on this game

uuuh it's good okay?

you didn't provide ANYTHING of substance, you fail as a shill

make the main character replacement a guy that we don't know what his deal with until like the end of the game

interesting choice

The same jap from IGN Japan that gave redditbirth a 100 just gave E33 a 70 and tanked its metacritic score.
They brought it upon themselves.

Gaming has been in such a bad place in recent years that people actually think Expedition 33 is a masterpiece.

It's not. It's a very good game, but it's just a normal amount of good. Or, well, it's a normal amount of good in terms of good video games. I guess there is so much slop releasing that it might make E33 seem like a masterpiece, but it's not. It's just a good game. It's not 10/10 material. The most impressive part of the game is that the guy who did the OST was found on Soundcloud.

is this the dsp effect? that fucking faggot will go against the grain just because. i know Anon Babble is retarded but cant be dsp levels of retarded

he makes up his mind about loving a game before it even comes it.

You are the problem with the modern gaming industry, taking no time to think, to consider, to measure. You make an impulsive decision and throw your money at it because you want to be part of the zeitgeist.

You bitch about other games, other companies, even when no one brings them up. You pretend like you’re part of some movement or revolution when we’re really just talking about utterly disposable entertainment. You get pissy when people don’t agree with you, because you define yourself by what bits of pop culture you like.

You’re the reason gaming trends are garbage. You are a consoomer, not a discriminating buyer.

You’re the reason we’re inundated with “soulslike” games, why Square Enix is chasing the western audience, why Astrobot gets undue credit.

Loathsome.

IGN Japan

gave Rebirth a 100

and E33 a 70

Dare I say based?

E33 flopped extremely hard in Japan, so nobody should be surprised that is getting terrible reviews in the land of the rising sun.

I was more offended by giving rebirth a 100
Fucking nips and their corporate worship

japaniggers are just mad that a bunch of random euros leapfrogged a genre they made and have made hundreds of games out of which are all dogshit

Physical copies been sold out for weeks now and I generally don't buy digital games. I will just wait for a sale at this point. Seems like a fotm anyways
