Astroturf

Cope and seethe
Let me guess, youre a D**m player mad that the GOTY is a thinking man's game

oh lol yea, only bothered picking it up cuz of the insane amount of threads about it lately

CLAIR OBSCUR

Which one? There are at least 2 being heavily shilled 24/7 for a while.

I do it for she

Clair obscur
Expedition 33
E33
Maelle Gustave Lune Sciel Verso Renoir
Lumiere the paintress

AAA game comes out

catalog flooded with duplicate threads about it, many of which are some ESL zoomer asking a basic question like "what are the weakness to enemy???"

literally any other game gets a thread:

SHILL SHILL KYS I SAW THAT SCREENSHOT BEFORE SHILL

We need more Donkey Kong Bananza threads.

My wife

Where were you when indians were spamming 30 marvel rivals threads with shitty fanart in the OP with hidden spade tattoos?

Actually yeah. Doom the Dark Ages is objectively better than Expedition 33.
Doom tests your motor skills. Expedition is for disabled people who need 15 seconds to think about an action.

Its been a while since I've seen a game astroturfed this hard. Its not only constant positive posts, but regular posts trying to dumpster other games.

Its not a bad game, but its nowhere near the level these discord raids would have you believe.

Funny how everyone knew which game OP was talking about, yes, even the first post pretending he doesn't.

man's game

Absolutely mindbroken. Elden GOTY is an actual social zeitgeist unlike Reddit 33, which is artificially turbo-shilled by literal french redditors.

we've bred a modern posting base that thinks talking about upcoming or new games more than once means you're a paid marketer for it and the logical endpoint of this attitude is a stagnant eternal status quo for the board

something they also probably do want given the flailing and shitting whenever we're having an april fool's or other major board shakeup

That's turn-based games in general, but I agree with you anon. Slow games are for slow minds.

/thread

unnatural to play on

fall and scars you

spreads microplastics everywhere

looks like shit

fucks up your joints if you play on it

FUCK ASTROTURF

rollslop #19

anything special

Elden cockring is 100% the most overrated slop in our time

talking about upcoming or new games more than once means you're a paid marketer

how about fuck off retard. if it's organic, these newfags can learn to use the catalog and so can (You).

You have been raped and mindbroken daily for 3+ years, though.

threads also aren't inherently valuable and more than one on the catalog isn't something to shit our pants over, that's residual trauma from Anon Babble being choked by pokemon threads before Anon Babble and Anon Babble were a thing

more than once

I mean yeah, 8+ threads at any one time is indeed more than once.

8 threads for a "high profile" game, some crying about said game, is perfectly normal
"distill everything down to one thread" is asking for a general btw

Gelden GOYSLOP is an actual social zeitgeist

I pirated it one day and my controller just suddenly stopped working, leading to the enemies that ambushed me killing me within seconds. it's curious how I never have these things happen to me in any other game, ever, except in DeS, DaS, and other From Slopware gayms at critical moments.

/thread

We won though, rollslop is dead.
All you have left is nintendo and online coop slop
Geeeg

This retarded take of

why would they even bother? Its Anon Babble

is so stupid it hurts. Marketing is about people being aware of the name, brand, characters, any and all of those. Why WOULDNT they pay people to spam shit here?

i didn't play the DLC

which game

uhhhh I'm a dumb poornigger with a shitty 5 bucks chinese madcatz controller please fuck my face?!?!?!?????

No, thanks.

paid marketing makes no fucking sense at all for most games it's levied against (see Anon Babble posters claiming celeste or pizza tower have paid marketers) and it's not hard or time consuming on anybody's part to make a Anon Babble thread

OP doesn't even mention elden ring or any from game for that matter

thread instantly becomes about fromshit

mindbroken

why didn't you complain about [other] shill campaign

but enough about Wuthering Waves, Brown Dust 2, and all the other "gaming is healing" gachaslop being posted 247 here.

dodges the question

Confirmed pajeet

KINOreign is literally going to curbstomp reddit 33 with zero effort
GEEEEEEEG
Not like you could lmao.

the first descendant and other korean / nexon games are also being astroturfed here every few days

Its their strategy to keep people from talking bad about the game they're campaigning for.
Distract, derail, and insult. Its some of the most basic marketing out there.

rollslop is monster hunter now and thats a good thing

Keep eating the slop good goy

monster hunter out of fucking nowhere

DOUBLE mindbreak action!

Astrobot for sure. Over 100 awards. Sold less than 2 million copies.

Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 is SHIT

FromGODS raped all the board schizos 1 by 1, I'm afraid.
True.

Donkey Kong Bananza has better lore.

Your skin is the color of shit
*shots fired*

Probably the worst possible place to ask this but is E33 good? I imagine it's mediocre at best like with Persona 5 (hallway simulator) when everybody was going apeshit about that. What bothers me is it's the same 2 images that get spammed.
One is the dudes face in black and white
The other is the cover of the game and usually a thumbnail and not even the actual resolution.

This nigger would keel over if he had to play an actual turn-based strategy game.

Someone posts about a game they like, it looks interesting to me

It has a free demo or on GPass/Playstation Plus

Play game and either like game or dont

If I like game, come back to /v to talk about it with other anons

Thread get spammed with people proclaiming "astroturf!" and "bots!"

For me this has happened with Palworld, SMTVV, Card en Ciel, Expedition 33, Balatro.

It is really not normal at all dude I’ve seen like 15+ threads in the catalog that are “durrr how do I X”, that’s not normal even for a new release. Games that aren’t being hyper marketed typically settle into gameplay generals with some occasional offshoot threads

Does this look like the numbers for a bad game?

i think you have to make peace with the fact Anon Babble's median age is 13-17 and many posters actually are just stupid

why are people liking games that i don't like!?

they should only be playing fortnite and roblox!

insult and derail

numbers = good

Are you braindead perchance?

Just watch the reveal trailer retard

it's your le fault for expecting something good!!

Fertile ground for marketers.

i can't tell the difference between a marketer and a braindead teenager

there's a wilds bad thread almost everyday

people still make elden ring threads.
I never understood this fucked up obsession over a temporarily popularized nich genre.
Its like a bunch of baboons screaming about the sun being evil and celebrating a momentous "victory" when it sets.
You didn't do anything.
It was successful, the games sold well and everyone aside from a few dozen tards screaming on here enjoyed them.

Gotta admit, it worked on me. Not that I'm complaining, the game is great and I wouldn't have given it a chance if it wasn't constantly talked about here.

You totally miss Baldur’s Gate 3? Or Kingdom Come 2? Or Wu Kong?

what question? shilling gets called out constantly. only the french would think they're being singled out.

I like how everyone instantly pick up what game op was referring to.

This as well. Remember the leak of GRRM x Fromsoft in Anon Babble? Obviously it's not GRRM himself posting.

a few dozen

Are you intentionally retarded or does it just come naturally to you

The game isnt being astroturfed its just that the braindead niggers that actually like jrpg menu combat have had their minds blown by the addition of QTEs to their dogass gameplay

GOTY

Kinda. Graphics are reasonable(the hair shit is true), story is 10/10 (but a little girl bossy), music is 10/10, gameplay is standard XNIR with parrying/dodging/jumping/X. I liked SMTV and didn’t like parrying at first because I never played a game where you had to parry to play. But I got used to it, and the game got more enjoyable. The battles are more complex than P5 but easier than SMTV once you get good at parrying. The fighting in E33 is more complex than SMTV, but bosses are harder in SMTV. Each character has a different fighting style. If you can perfect parry, you can beat most bosses at any level, but it'll take an hour.

Anon Babble shills you a game

it's actually great

other games for this feel?

all knowledge of action mechanics in existing games leaves the JRPG hater's brain the moment the RPG is made by a westerner

its not even the only shill campaign running right now, just the most obnoxious in memory.

except that's been a common thing since super mario rpg, hell it wasn't even the first.

Because they really like that word, when describing Expedition 33, for some reason.

the hair shit is true

actual shill, live in the thread
WHAT fucking hair shit? Your campaign has taken you to so many threads that you are bringing up a talking point before anyone even mentions it.

there's Anon Babble posters that literally cannot handle the thought of more than one thread existing for a topic they don't like

Pretty sure the only company that's stupid enough to still shill here is SE

so you literally fell for shiling, thus validating all the shilling.
Good work goy, you enable shills.

If you repeat this dogshit opinion it surely will become true one day

they probably don't have the money to waste on that in recent years
additionally square enix for some reason breeds some of Anon Babble's most dangerously insane posters, final fantasy 14 threads recently had a guy get banned for a year because he's been making and spamming in threads about it for years he came back immediately and cried that the mods dared to touch him

+$0.02

it's just like my Paper Mari-ACK

[game_I_dont_like]

thank god when i'm talking about something as serious as "the board has bad actors directed at specific games" i have a handy-dandy epic maymay to use

I love fromslop so much bros

Who the fuck enjoys this slop lmfao

WHAT fucking hair shit?

He's true, the game has TAA blurry deferred rendering UE5 hair strands. It's not great, but it's not their fault really.

"you think everything is shilling, therefore nothing is"

marketers trying to false dichotomy away the obvious truth

This thread has people saying you're a moron if you can't tell the difference between shills and dumb teenagers so you call everything shills, not that there is no war in Ba-Sing-Se

Yes, they respond to people pointing out the obviously unnatural volume by trying to claim that it is organic retards mass posting. Thank you for repeating yourself. Enjoy the three cents for doing so.

i'm not even good at the witch hunting i'm addicted to

this is your problem now, shill

Its been a while since I've seen a game astroturfed this hard

he wasn't here for astroturf bot (2024)

hes true

SAAR

GTA
100 of the same gay threads been spammed for days I got tired hiding them

I like japanese tactical RPGs, those are good. The menu battlers fucking blow thoeverbiet

During euro hours its GTA, US hours is Reddit 33, SEA hours is doom.

Based. "Shilling" works.

shills realize they lost the thread and left

love to see it

that was little big planet level

This boards quality has been awful for the last decase, I can hardly tell what's shilling from genuine enthusiasm anymore. It's shit all the way down.

On the Xbox version, the hair looks weird and blocky and the shadows are block and pop in and out.

both are parry/qte slop
the fun part is that Doom is even easier with parry window for console retards with 1s recation time

Anyone under the age of 30 is incapable of sharing or expressing any genuine emotion. If it seems like an ad campaign, it most likely is.

Anyone under the age of 30 is incapable of sharing or expressing any genuine emotion

You don't even believe that.

The Catalog is for newfags plebbitors albeit.

Any Capcom game

They could never afford to astroturf it

yes he does. its what he tells himself to believe his shilling is effective.

Dark Ages is terrible compared to 2016 Doom and Eternal

120m to develop game

300 people on credits list

connections to french billionaires

india exists

yeah no way they could afford a shill campaign.

noko's been dead for longer than it was in use

The game cost less than $10m to make you are a retard

120m to develop game

You keep repeating this lie. Find a new angle of attack.

This is pretty bad too but it’s not shilling just autism by some foreigner who can’t run the game

all of this is speculation, only thing known for sure is they could afford outside animation help and it's from ex-ubisoft employees

OP is about Palworld, obviously.
Notice how the threads never talk about the game, but are always about shitting on Pokemon.

I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME THAT MEANS YOU'RE SHILLING IT!!!!!!!!

you must be 21 or older to view or post on Anon Babble

before there was any way for anyone to have an opinion of it, it instantly swept the journalism circles (yes, we've known about them since gamergate) while being spammed here.

yes, its a shill campaign.

why anybody was surprised that mailing lists exist is still completely beyond me nevermind the false premise of uncorrupted journalism

Marathon.
It's again one of those outrage campaigns to get everyone talking about the game. All plagiarism allegations are fabricated.
Reminder there is no such thing as bad publicity.

WAAAAAH MOMMY I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME MAKE THEM STOP TALKING ABOUT IT'S SHILLING!!!!!

underage begone

mailing lists weren't a means to actively conspire to push narratives.

why do all shills think this is the first time a shill has ever used this tactic?

gta 6 i think, the catalogue got flooded with it and shills keep spamming the ugly safe horny goblina and the trailer trash gay xitter approved mc

IT'S SHILLING IT'S SHILLING IT'S SHILLING!!!!!

Shut up.

Ranjesh, quick, go to the thread and insult them! Derail!

Expedition 33 is a bad game

SAAAR SAAAR SAAAAR YOU ARE SHILLING SAAAAAAR

Shut the fuck up

Some random Capcom fighter collection got censored.
I guess the schizo OP will say it got censored on purpose to create discourse, but the reality is that Capcom is just that stupid.

Personally I wouldn't say shilling as so much as Anon Babble apeing whatever's popular at the time and other retards on here somehow pretend it's organic when, again, most of you mouth breathers literally follow trends. It's another flavor of the month game, threads will die out, some dumb knuckle dragging niggers will make threads with titles akin to "2025, I am forgotten" because apparently you MUST make threads every single day in order for a game to be good. Other threads shitting on the game months later, nonsensical arguing for modern slop, new toy gets found, rinse and repeat.
This is why I genuinely do not play any new games that are suddenly popular or gets a lot of attention on here, because 1: I literally do not trust any of you to have good taste, and 2: I will be free of temptation when it comes to trying. Also sales.
Anyway, point being you're literally sheep if you bought this game like every other FOTM on this shithole.

e33

actually responding to the marketing team

sad

accuses others of his actions to beat them to the punch

no one falls for this anymore bro

Look at the op shill-san, nothing specific is mentioned.

me
I enjoyed this fight

While im really impressed at your reading ability, your interpretation needs a bit of work. I know learning a second language is probably tough, but stick with it.

So what is it? Are you a dantgey fan? Or just prefer baby games?

unironic discord raids against a game

Holy shit lmfaoooo

sure it isn't a narrative conspiracy when normal newspaper journalists do it but it is when GAMES journalists do it

wukong and all the gachaslop

Switch 2

GTA VI

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Marathon

Doom: The Dark Ages

Capcom Fighting Collection 2

All being heavily shilled rn.

You can't even hire 100 guys with $10m.

i decided to pick up a copy on PS5 since it was half off and quickly running out of stock

You say that as if it's a good thing.

Five examples of the former.

meet n' fuck kingdom, steve

doesn’t know what former means

You're a complete jeet retard.
The game had 8 employees from 2020 to 2022.
The average vidya salary in France is 45k a year (probably less than that since most of the devs are junior).
They went from 8 to 30 employees between 2022 and 2025.
45k*8*2 + 45k*30*3 = around 5M.
Even if you add 10M for rent, VA, QA testers and the 8 cuckrean animators you're not event at 20M

its literally every major release, and doubly so if the game is actually good. elden ring, black myth wukong, astrobot, even shitty games like asscreed shadows. nothing is EVER to the level that threads on Anon Babble would have you believe, because Anon Babble is all about sensationalist bullshit in both directions. stop taking Anon Babble so seriously.

I am more inclined to believe that hate threads are organized shills.
Making threads or posts about games you are currently playing is normal.
If you didn't like the game, it is also normal to make a post about it, but then it should pretty much end there, right?
Why continue to give it your attention instead of moving on to games you actually like? Much harder to understand what mentality leads to this than some guy basedpogging out because he played a new game.

MEET N WHAT?

84.2m

split over 30 days

split across all boards

each thread opened or refreshed is a new visit

thats not nearly as much as you think it is. 5 fags refreshing a thread 100 times each to talk in it or read other comments is not the same as 500 views. you're delusional if you think shitposting on Anon Babble is going to carry any significant weight in social opinion.

Okay Pierre

What hate threads?

No, actually I meant [game_that_(You)_like].

So why are you shilling here if the site is so irrelevant?

false premise

im not. im illustrating how tiny 4hcan actually is and how shilling (or anti-shilling) is a complete waste of time. you have to be a special kind of retarded to think that anyone is getting PAID to shitpost here. considering the wider popularity and that its a recent release, its only natural for people to talk about it, and considering the wider positive reception, the sheer amount of negativity about it here is what truly seems forced, much like the orchestrated elden ring shitposting. in fact, playing both sides could even be to their "benefit", by inflating and exaggerating the opinion of greatness beyond the reasonable amount, which would give the nay-sayers more credibility. its simple social politics to understand, and at the same time, entirely, LAUGHABLY worthless. the entire concept of "shill" or "anti-shill" is a false flag. a red herring. either talk about the game, or dont. get over it.

I guess like this one.

youre absolutely incorrect on all fronts
Expedition 33 is a bad game

People can and will get paid for the dumbest shit you can imagine.
People get paid to tweet. That is particularly different from posting elsewhere.

is

isn't*

pirat_nation also gets paid to post Anon Babble screencaps on twitter so there's actual financial stakes in Anon Babble getting 24/7 ragebait and retard opinions
mysteriously, though, shill hunters explicitly avoid the obvious ragebait

GTA 6

people have proven that they make money tweeting

you can see how much and where the money comes from

nobody has ever proven or illustrated money flow for posting on Anon Babble

try harder.

nobody has

They have.

try harder

No, sorry.
