how did they do it?

check

its real

what

by making a great game, it's simple as

The game's budget was 120 million dollars provided by the Chinese and it barely sold 2 million copies at a price of 45 dollars
The game is a fucking flop retard

The game's budget was 120 million dollars provided by the Chinese

source?

lmao these schitzoposts get funnier and funnier

the game budget is max 20M.
seethe. you lost.

Bots. Microsoft is botting the game to make it seem like GamePass is not a horrible deal for developers.

cover6[1].jpg - 800x450, 22.63K

why didn't they do it for nuDoom when it's their own IP then?

By making a game, not a product ticking boxes

Pure kino

It's first party, they don't need to.

shit game

why would they bot the game on Steam instead of just showing player counts on Game Pass and botting it there? Why didn't they bot Doom?

great game

kek you are retarded

only non-white people hate this game

False. I'm Argentinian (white) and I hate these game.

I didn't even get off the roof before stopping the game. Sucked ass

The game is fun and rewarding, it rewards you for exploration and for good gameplay. It has a touching story, the music is great, the characters are great, the voice performances are solid, the atmosphere of the game feels unique, it is a beautiful game.

game has a lot of endgame content

i was surprised

STOP. THE. COUNT

*sees a half dozen threads about FotM game at any given time*
Yeah, what a mystery. Almost like the shill campaign worked.

has the performance been ironed out yet? or is it still UE5 fuckery?

why didn't the shill campaign work for Assassin's Creed Shadows?

pay for bot farm

sit in-game idling for several weeks to inflate numbers

combine with astroturfing shill campaign

wow, this UE5 slop ga sure is right, eh, fellow gamers?

goy cattle are so easily deceived

works on my machine

thinks there are more than 1000 people on Anon Babble at any given time

The performance was ironed out on day 1.

All this effort for an AA game

None of this effort for DOOM

None of this effort for Oblivion

You really mind broken aren't you, fatlas? I can't imagine the levels of cope you have to go through to reach this point.

AHHHHH IT WAS SUPPOSED TO FAIL

Pays off every single independent reviewer from millions of subs to barely 1000 to say the game is amazing

Just how deep does the rabbit hole go?

the publisher got 120 million

publisher has a dozen and more games

thinks they put all 120 million on it

pfff

Kepler owns 10 studios

Kepler doesn't own Sandfall

Kepler received 120M

This means they gave Sandfall the entirety of their funding

I know third worlders have low IQ but I didn't think this much.

kepler-.png - 2521x956, 348.14K

Because it's a masonic psyop. Look into what 33 means.

am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about this game

The sys requirements for this game are crazy. How can that many people have top of the line pcs?

You are a homo. Kepler is a publisher, not developer of the game. They have shitton of other projects.

got the money in 2021

published a dozen games between then and now

but yeah, they were just sitting on that $120 million waiting to hand it to the French, who they didn't even make a deal with until 2023

Chinese

It's 2025

how did they do it?

They made a good game. I know it's crazy to think about in the year of our lord of 2007+18 but it's true.

Publisher funds the development of a game publish

Oh god no, please no, this can't be happening!

Ass Creed was no where near as shilled as this game. Nothing has been in at least a year.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600 and a RX 6600 system and I'm able to run this game at 60fps at 1080p medium settings. The game is surprisingly easy to run because it's not an open world slop that runs like shit.

We are reaching levels of cope that shouldn't even be possible.
I blame ubijeets for shitting all over every AA success. The more successful smaller projects are, the less funding jeets get from AAA.

Why are you such a selective retard?
Kepler received $120 million from NetEase that does not mean they took that 120milly and gace it to Sandfall to fund Expedition 33, it meant they had a publishing pool of 120milly available for a wide range of games, because they are a publisher of multiple games currently they are running a sale on steam right now and you can see all the games they publish.
Are you from India because you seem to be a very stupid man.
They're a publisher, which means they fund multiple games.

so you're just straight up lying now

Anon, I can play the game with everything on High and textures on Ultra on a freaking 1060. Game is retardedly well optimized.

usually I don't really care about ecelebs, but it's very funny how dunkey (who hates jrpg) didn't make a video yet on this game, it feels like he can't just shit on it just as freely as he could on xenoblade 2/3.

devs refused to outsource to indie for reasons of quality control

does gangbusters

the jeeterati are terrified their hustle is collapsing

seething endlessly about it in broken english on Anon Babble

top jej, Lune will destroy India!

Not even close. Take away hag posting about the mom from people who haven't played the game and it wouldn't even have 1/10 of the threads it has as is.

710051756 (You)

Something tells me Flintlock is what took most of that money. Given the media coverage of Flintlock compared to CO:E33.
Hell Windblown is still in development so they are still getting money funneled into them.

Cope more, even if not all of the Chink money went to Expedition 33 the director's father is a French billionaire and he provided millions more both for the game and the massive shill campaign
You've all been psyoped to shill for an AAA game pretending to be an indie darling with hundreds if not thousands of journos, streamers etc. being bribed to talk about how good it is

Yes Ranjeet. In European countries, we help our own family and don't let their corpeses rot on the sidewalk like in your shithole.

Jeet doesn't understand what a publisher is

This is why your country is such a shithole, you have no idea of what words mean.

is retarded

posts proofs he is retard

gets called out for being a retard

c-cope

Can't wait for the absolute seethening once this wins GOTY. Gonna be fucking glorious

yes we are ze shills hon hon hon

Do you know the deference between developer and publisher?

nowhere near as shilled as this game

ok

the shill campaign got retards to believe Yasuke was a samurai.

Shill campaign included copious amounts of DLC trailers and special edition gossip.

endless talk that still goes to this day about Sales vs Player count.

The shill campaign killed Polygon when the campaign failed.

Nah. E33 was just a good game that contrarians hate on the account they are contrarian.

Can't play the the first even well optimized UE5 game

What kind of toaster do you have that is runs the game worse than a SteamDeck?

PLS SAAR JOIN US AGAINST CHINA WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE!

Shouldn't you be more preoccupied with getting nuked by Pakistan right now Rahjesh?

Take away shill threads and Coffin wouldn't even have 1/10 of the threads it has as is.

A 1060 was like mid like 7 years ago.

Their money guy said development cost about 5 million. I only ever saw one trailer on that XBOX event, and they underprinted physical copies massively, so distribution and marketing couldn't have been a huge expense, it's definitely below 10 million all together.

Dumb niggers I'm not even Indian but Indians work smarter and harder and help to develop genuinely great not astroturfed games like Final Fantasy Rebirth even people like Trump and Musk realize India is the future

these game

You're a tar black jungle nigger

forget to pay Jap reviewers

they give you a shit score

also game is completely irrelevant in Japan since shill money wasn't spent there

I can smell the cumin on you through the screen motherfucker. Stop pooing in the street and use a toilet like a human being!

I'm saying even with those threads it's still not even close. There's 11 threads up right now about E33. There has been 5+ at all times for a month. When was the last time a game was that spammed on this board?

its padded

normiefags who struggle with parry take 60hrs to finish it

AssCreed Shadows ;)

struggle with parry

they can dodge, it's much easier

E33 is a cultural phenomenon, you can't really compare to that, few games can

French billionaire.

They also had a Chinese lead writer and chinese who's on their team otherwise. No wonder the Chinese are so uppity when their persona-lite game is criticized as a shit-clone of an existing superior Japanese Franchise.

Ask me how I know you're Indian.

When was the last time a game was good and not a shallow IP mining exericse?

sold out completely in physical

topped Steam and Playstation digital charts for weeks

Cultural Phenomenon.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Screencap this retard, its going to be forgotten at the end of the year. Nothing your billionaire french daddy can do about it.

It's woke!

It's bad!

It's funded by China!

It's not a JRPG!

What is it about this game that brings out the most retarded of contrarians?

worried frog.jpg - 964x912, 59.83K

The Chinese hate the game though. They're the main source of negative reviews.

smarter and harder

Than why do they get hired by the thousands and only know how to use Unreal engine 5? A engine that is braindead easy to use and bloated as fuck if you don't use it correctly.
How come every game with Pajeets working on it take 6-8 years to make and are a quarter of a HDD/SSD in size while needing top of the line parts to run at minimum settings?
They work in Quantity at a shit pace.
They are monkeys with type writers. but instead of making Shakespeare it's Chuck Tingle.

A GTX 1060 is 'top of the line'

I know 'poorfag' is usually used as a cope, but unironically holy poorfag.

The Chinese are review bombing the game retard, it would be at 98% without them instead of 95%

You're not Indian? Then why do you type and act like one. Tell another lie.

company gets 120M funded in Series B

Anon Babble anon thinks they just dumped it all into one game instead of using it for at least 5 other projects + runway for 6 years

it'll be forgotten in a few days!

it'll be forgotten in a week!

it'll be forgotten in a month!

it'll be forgotten in a year!

How can it have that many players while also being on game pass? Wtf bros?!

I dunno, looks kind of middling to me. Has anyone ITT even played the game? I need to know if it's worth buying.

The devs refused to outsource to india and its setting a precedent that you actually save money and produce better product by not letting indians touch it.

Who do you think is trying to astroturf this game? whos rupees for their cow piss relies on it?

If it's this bad now I really can't wait to see the seethe that will come from E33 winning goty. I look forward to this game continuing to buckbreak retards for many years to come.

I wouldn't pay him much attention, he's a Jeet and Jeet brains aren't that good with critical thinking.

there is nothing some Anon Babble posters hate more than an apparently significant portion of other Anon Babble posters enjoying a video game

Doubt, I mentally broke so many with the simple line of: Its just a gnostic-slop persona-lite clone with the big bad plot twist being... MENTAL ILLNESS! line that its not even funny and they start writing in that broken ass Chinese sort of way right after. They are 100% the ones backing it, they even accused me of being Indian because I said I didn't like it for some reason showed their money connections before that reddit poster.

Chinese bots don't count shill.

I did it's a 10 hour movie game with no gameplay kek. The Chinese really went all out on the shilling

Gonna screencap this and repost it when it wins at the Dorito Pope's awards :)

FF7Rtards lost

It could just be the few Japanese who think its a shit game thoughbeit. Just like IGN giving it a 7/10 (its mid) review. Why would the Chinese hate a Chinese supported and funded game? Now that makes no sense especially when the lead writer is Chinese.

using AI

first sentence is completely false because Sandfall isn't part of Kepler

kys faggot

its not even in the top ten

Imagine seething so hard at E33 that you spent time making an image for a reviewer that said OW2 was GOTY.

I liked it and is not a movie game. It actually does not have enough cutscenes imo. Huge recommendation if you like turn based games albeit

if you're going to larp about having played a game atleast get somewhere in the ballpark of the correct length next time, faggot

67 hours in, barely touched the endgame. Its a lot like Final Fantasy X and Lost Oddysey but with some souls influence like heals being limited like estus and enemies respawn when you heal at a campsite but largely it feels like What people hoped Bravely Default 2 would have been when that series jumped to console. Sadly BD2 was a shitty port of a cancelled iphone game and felt like it. This feels like BD in terms of like world map, exploration, twists, building and spending action points but with a blend of ff9's armor ability system and ff8's junctioning.

Its legitimately very very good and unlike something like say Rebirth which is stellar for like 30% of it but the other 70% is trend chasing open world ubislop this is consistently good from start to finish.

Closed recentish rpg experience i can compare it to is Shadowbringers.

You mean when they have been bribed enough to give it an award? Remember Metaphor was rated higher than this persona-lite frog game.

120 million

PLEASE seek professional help!

right behind GTAV

thats it lads, total flopperoni my dear saars, india wins again!

It's good and it's at a fair price, worth the money.

Yes.png - 853x639, 642.81K

Why fucking waste your time like this? If you think the game is shit just don't fucking play it and play some other game you fucking retard. Stop treating every game release like some grand conspiracy you have to stand on a soapbox and try to convince us of your schizo beliefs.

Yeah, I was using it to meme on people. Follow the money, the person who gives someone money to develop a game tells them what to do with the said game. They basically own that studio for that game, simple as. Whoever has the money makes the rules.

Expedition 33 ENDED Final Reseteratasy, and thank God for that. The world has officially moved on from FF.

Noted, it really doesn't look very impressive. I hate how everything is so fake, gay, and astroturfed now that you can't genuinely post an opinion without being accused of being a shill/counter shill.

Based genuine opinion poster, I seek truth only.

FFX

That I don't really care for. It's one of those "you had to be there" type games. I suppose it was very polished, but locked most of its content to end game and very tedious grinding. Never played LO. Didn't ever get around to BD either. I may give it a shot. I am never gonna play rebirth, lmao.

Based genuine opinion poster.

You never played it. At least copy what people who have played it said, instead of guessing that it's a Kojima type game.

I would say its better than FF1-5, 12-16 and as good as 8-10 but not quite as good as 7. Still better than all the dragon quest, breath of fire and persona games.

you know people playing with ultra settings are the minority of the minority, right?
most people are playing at minimum specs or something in between

Fucking study a bit before pretending you've played something, retard.

Why don't you lot hype up other games that matter that are independently developed if it wasn't a shill campaign backing it? Because you know you are part of astroturfing shilled games so you will cry at me instead of do something else. Pic related, banned in Germany. Indie dev, mocks the current thing. Janitors of this board constantly tried taking down any posts or images referring to this game for a while when it was published. SHILL.

this game is great for the industry. I can now make a 6/10 garbage game and people will say it's 9/10 and if I make a 7/10 game I'll get GOTY.

If you actually played good games on PS2 and prior you wouldn't be saying this game is a 10/10 lol.

t. industry veteran

You're a gullible little cuck that can't pick apart shitposts from genuine thoughts, you don't deserve to play kino, go back to your F2P slop

make a good game

it's popular

Whoa.

Two can play at that game, Saruman the NIGGER.

Brown hands covered in shit and curry wrote this

Why don't you make it then fag?

Maybe you should've bribed him to write a good review about it like Blizzard did then, but I guess shilling this game in Japan wasn't in your plans for some reason.

Fuck I hadn't thought about this but even without opening the videos I can totally hear it now.

Ok, tell us what amazing games you made since its that easy

This game + FF16/FF7 flopping has really broken FFbabbies

IX is the weakest of the PSX trilogy and has abysmal pacing

mentally broken man claims that he mentally breaks others

you are in the elite upper echelon of dumb and pathetic niggers I've ever encountered, go walk in front of a train, shitjeet

Misses the point resorts to racism.

Ungabunganigubooga back to you faggot.

You can't actually be serious

IX is peak sovl, but you can feel all the development issues in the second half that leads to a bunch of random shit like "Heres a crashed spaceship the homunculi couldn't enter, someone smashed up this room of faces, wierd..." that go nowhere because they had to cut for time. 7 while not my personal favourite is consistently well made from start to finish and was also the first time the series jumped from sprites to 3d so was even more of a risk. I still love 9 but from a technical standpoint 7 is just a more well made product.

Some people are so stupid they spend more on a game than on their hardware. Like PS4 users buying Cyberpunk lmao.

Real talk, why did this game in particular attract the BG3 schizo to start having melties about Chinese astroturfing again? He even brings up Tencent out of nowhere.

Final Fantasy and whatever anime RPG(all of them are inherently generic, btw)you're into sucks and lost. Cry more, retard.

post keyboard, hand and timestamp. Betting you are a phoneposting bot that never touched a computer before outside of work, lmao. Poor fag.

just got verso

something familiar about his voice

finally figure it out, its fucking clive

9/10 goty for sure
would have been 10/10 if they didnt kill best boy

you're a fucking retard and a zoomer. I've been playing jrpgs for almost 30 years, they have been my favorite genre since I was in elementary school. e33 is a great game, not that you would know since you didn't play it

By shilling their dogshit game on Anon Babble. Holy fuck, buy an ad you fucking poojeet shill cunt. Kill yourself.

Surprisingly the trannies and the woke lefties loved the game and promoted it heavily in the media most like due to Lune. Trannies want to look like Lune.

This game always attracted schizos. Farquaad was derailing all the threads we had for months.

he seems to have a hate boner for any game not from a AAA publisher that generates genuine interest

No fun allowed

both games star Jennifer English

It's a ritual to summon the GOTY award.

Full GPT can be easily mislead through wording, but GPT mini is different!

Real Talk why is this person right about us astroturfing this game...

Well you just got caught pants down faggot. Good thing actual people don't fall for marketing hype and by that standard Chinese aren't people that deserve to breathe. See Wukong hype train lmao.

I will once I save enough money. My dad's not a billionaire (fag)

I've worked on many big games you all know

you're a fucking zoomer. Only zoomers with no point of reference think this game is a 10/10. This game has shit millenial woman writing from a complete amateur who self-inserted herself. I didn't even read the second half of your "post"

It's a combination effort by fatlas blobs and stillbirthfags that have been mentally mind broken by E33's success.
BG3 shares a lot of the VA's with E33 and it's a completely different genre from E33, and I've never seen serious comparison of the two.

reminder this schizo is the same haunting bg3 threads trying to claim the game secretly flopped

your turn, ranjesh. my keyboard could buy an entire block of huts in your village

Im being serious

I've not been looking at any of that and think Lune is cute but after living in Hong Kong you see a lot of girls who look like her, Sciel has a unique look kinda swarthy with green eyes and is down to fuck.
Maelle of course is the cute one I've seen posts on 2chan where they're in love with her talking about her body in depth that made me feel very uneasy but also laugh because Japs are fucking degens.

He's right you know, only snoyfags could care about this Persona-Lite game made with China funnymoney by a nepobaby french billionaire who bought reviews.

Could you post it in a way that the timestamp isn't hiding the most important parts of the keyboard? Why you hiding it?

again, you didn't play it, your opinion is worthless.

We're all waiting for your reply, Ranjeet.

snoyfags

it's an Xbox game though?

I don't need to play it to know it's bad, that's how out of touch you are lmao fucking normie

nice attempt at deflection but its your turn, darkie.

What you saying? Its on the snoyconsole with nogames.

normie

you will never fit in here, NORMALFAG. stop embarrassing yourself, it's not too late to close the tab.

It's Farquaad that's having a melty now, not Dragonirian. The game has no gay content this is why he is melting down. This is the guy that's shitting on the game, a gay spic from Bolivia.

It's on Gamepass day 1 and the trailer was revealed in an XBOX showcase event.
Don't worry, they'll have a 480p version on the Switch 2 eventually.

shut the fuck up chink shill. This game is NOT a 10/10

*sees a half dozen threads about FotM game at any given time*

first time on Anon Babble? why do you use asterisks for actions?
lurk moar

the sound design in general is really good

This game is NOT a 10/10

The most respected gaming magazine and GOTY bellwether disagreed actually.

claim the budget is 120 millions

utterly btfo

w-well his dad is a billionaire!

It came to him in a schizo attack induced fever dream.

seething cause it's true dumb zoomer fuck

this just proves it's shilling lmao no one cares about your gay vidya journo. you zoomer social media shills are out of touch

Runs on 60 fps with everything on high on my 1660S.

Kek who cares about these literally whose. Japan gave it 7/10

Holy fucking third worlder. How the fuck are you on the internet when you should be focusing on how to feed yourselves with gibs from the Americans?

literally whose

man

Kinda loses steam when you tell people the same reviewer gave a 10 to Rebirth and an 8 to XVI, doesn't it? On the same website that gave Starfield a 10? lmfao

but because that one idiot doesn't know how publishers work your argument is now void

game's budget was probably around 40 million with all the outsourcing + another 40 million in marketing (conservative estimate)

this just proves it's shilling

youre right, your insistence that a game you haven't played is shit proves you are an industry shill. who's paying you? ea? ubi?

praise from literally every gaming outlet with high scores

BUT THE NIPS FROM IGN GAVE IT A 7!

I'm not being paid moron I literally said this game is good for industry veterans like me, because the bar has been lowered significantly. I used to have to make something like OOT to get a 10/10. You're a fucking retard consumer destroying your own hobby

working as an astroturfer for Ubisoft doesn't make you an industry veteran, Ranjit

Edge magazine? Literally who

random jap that named Overwatch 2, Apex Legends Mobile and Marvel Snap as GOTY? An authority.

Atlus barely cracked 1 million and that’s with an established reputation in the transgender community. You telling me a no name French company DOUBLED that ? Whoah.

How the FUCK does baldur's gate still pull 100k daily

industry veterans like me

LMAO. even if this were true (it's not) you should be getting on your knees and sucking broche's cock for single handedly redeeming the western gaming industry that hasn't made a single good game in the entirety of this decade so far

It's literally this.

I just made it to the Gestral Village. Does it get better? It killed the atomsphere of the game

why cause he made a 7/10 whatever game? you're a retard consumer. I'll continue to praise good games like Sekiro even if they're not Western and even if it takes years for my fellow devs to catch on

Maybe! But they're probably seething that a former employee went out and made his own game that is outperforming their "break glass in case of bankruptcy" game for a fraction of the price.

Probably also seething that Macron gave E33 a shout-out instead of them.

already coping i see

that's fair, different people have different tastes, at least you actually played it and aren't blatantly lying and saying it's shit
outliers exist but the vast vast majority of people who played it love it

Wait, Edge gave it a 10?

Yup.
They give them out more often recently, but it's still a very exclusive club.

"passionate people should just make their own games if they don't like the AAA trash"

better how? I thought Gestral Village was a nice way to break the tension.

Ubisoft execs are either rotated out every 2 years or they've been there since the beginning, and the latter are obviously seething not because of expedition 69 but because of all the other stupid decisions the company has made over the years

It's all just indians shilling this slop with their ESL speak. There is no organic discussion on Anon Babble, just indian marketers shilling nonstop.

the executives who are still there somehow aren't responsible for the stupid decisions they are apparently mad about

what sort of weird defense is this

It was 10 million euros.

Skyward Sword

Last of Us

Elden Ring

Tears of the Kingdom

Astro Bot

...

best jRPG of all time
j*pan could never

WRONG

you know how you can tell discussion is organic? People are arguing about the ending. Paid shills would never spoil the ending so openly, and they don't care enough to argue back and forth over an opinion they don't hold about a game they haven't played.

See: the AssCreed Shadows astroturf campaign, no one talked about the story beyond outragebait with the romances (classic shill tactics).

id go as far as to say anyone who doesn't like E33 isn't white. you have to have a soul to appreciate soul in video game form.

not a defense I'm just offering my perspective. You're obviously some fat retard I'm wasting my time on though

saar the budget was 120 million Tencent rupees

What the fuck could they have even spent that on?

30 employees, half of which only worked since 2022, on French salaries outside Paris

eight Korean animators, who were only paid once

QA, orchestra, playtesters, who were only paid once

secretly outsourcing assets, even though the game is short and outsourcing assets would have lowered the cost

What the fuck did they spend all that money on, it was all industry bribes and shills? Steam bots? Surveillance drones flying outside the schizo's house?

I don't need to play it

normie

retarded and newfag, what a sadly common combo

1 month in

even asmogold is shilling this game now

still hits 100k players, in a fucking single player rpg game, only BG3 achieved such longevity before.

schizoposters are still screeching on Anon Babble

How did the french do it?
Create such a good game that the schizo army lost?

Rockband 3 is RIGHT THERE anon

your retarded perspective

source?

DOOMBROS... I....................

the wine and cheese bill adds up

sells a mediocre 2m copies, showing that most of the 'players' are chink bots

What the fuck did they spend all that money on

All the cocaine in France

Outsourcing? You do know that these are UBISOFT employees right?

Is this the new cope?
Using a 2 week old twitter post to prove nobody is actually playing this game?

2 million in sales (80 million in dollars after the Gabe Tax) is mediocre for a game that cost 5-10 million to make

Outsourcing?

Outsourcing what, art assets? The game is not very long, if they had outsourced their art to India it would have made the game cheaper than doing it in-house in France.

The main dev said so.

as far as I know, most of the assets are literally just scrounged from the UE store, which would make it even cheaper

That's the amount that was donated to the parent studio that oversees dozens of games. This particular game was a small project. They did have good funding but it wasn't the entire budget of the company or anything.
To be honest most of the beauty of the game can just be chalked up to skilled use of the Unreal 5 engine. Notice they repeated the red-grass for too many areas, and a lot of areas looked a bit samey so it was easy to get lost sometimes. Someone was sitting in the unreal 5 creation engine and spamming red grass everywhere.

kepler and chinks have made a decent amount of money back with just this game huh

you're just jealous lol

cope I have tens of thousands of hours in other good games, not to mention tens of thousands of hours developing games, many of which were games that faggots like YOU enjoy, so fuck off my opinion is more based than yours therefore you're the shill or useful idiot

donated

it was series B funding so NetEase does have a stake in Kepler, but so do all the dev studios that buy in so it's not like they're in control of the publisher.

I've spent tens of thousands of hours astroturfing Assassin's Creed all over the internet, I know what I'm talking about saar

I didnt know that comes from the same publisher as Sifu, which was my favorite game of whatever year it came out
Good eye kepler, keep at it

i'm playing this on a potato. no SSD and a jurassic RX 580 gpu

I found it a fantastic experience and the ending moved me super hard.
I pirated it and bought it after finishing it. I did download the ost however.

Kepler made some good money from royalties, but want to make real bank on that film adaptation they signed for.

Do you know who made real money? The two French angel investors that bankrolled Sandfall back in 2021 to make their Project W vertical slice, they have actual equity in the company and their gamble paid off massively.

hugely successful AA game

makes shitton of money with smaller budget, little outsourcing and marketing

threatens outsource market and AAA studios who will have to answer to shareholders why their $300 mil dollars megaprojects bomb one after another

Gee I wonder who could be mad at this.

I pirated it and bought it after finishing it.

i played it pirated and im debating to buy it and do another run. Played 99% of the game with verso lune maelle so i can give sciel and monoco their time under the sun

I didn't even mention AC once which proves you're a shill with a script. I haven't played AC: Yasuke either but according to you I have to play it or I can't have an opinion. Dumb fuck.

They had a vision and made a good game.
Very simple but you wouldn't believe it looking at the industry as a whole.

I streamed it. wasnt bribed and its an actually decent game.

pig hands

sausage fingers

compact TKL keyboard that is not doing them any favors by making you mistype

Grim.

It's crazy to me that all you need to make your game successful is to turn it into a movie.
I hate normies so much.

well obviously, shills don't play the games they're shilling

This cope

AssCrud lost, Ubi.

Could always gift it to someone else.

Good for them, actually. Seed funding is risky, investing in a gaming startup is like going all in on the roulette wheel

I'm not shilling AC Yasuke, I think it's the dumbest thing Ubisoft has ever done. You're the one shilling your dumb little game, probably because you have buyer's remorse and no personality. Again I'll say it for the third time now, this game is good for people like me. I can make a shit game and make hundreds of millions of dollars now. You're a retard consumer giving me money

Why is there so much obvious 3rd world pajeet shills for this game? You can tell they've never been on Anon Babble or used Anon Babble before with the way they talk.

Ha ha sure Ranjit, looking forward to your 5 hour RPGMaker game that gets 500 lifetime sales

4 hours of cutscenes

30 hours of gameplay

how is it a movie zoomzoom?
FF16 has 16 hours of cutscenes

Overhyped overrated mid

you probably play some of the games I've worked on, probably some of the shittier words given how you seem to be a fucking loser. You're basically like my cum stain

cuz its actually gud.

'Anon Babble' namedrop

I can tell you're a complete newfaggot too. stop larping and lurk moar

Concord was 400 million.

well anon, you don't NEED to play the game to have an opinion on it, but it's just that, an uninformed opinion that has little worth because any fag can form an opinion without asking you since they'd be as familiar with the game as you would.
why should i act like your opinion is worth more than mine when you don't have familiarity with the topic past "i saw a trailer and thought it was trash trust me i am smart"?

and that's ignoring the part where you're an obvious newfag who should lurk moar

I doubt, I don't really play the AAA slop you astroturf

Streamer hype / advertising

i've been here over 20 years newfag

again, I need to play AC Yasuke to know it's fucking stupid? obviously not. same way I don't need to play expedition 69. I'm even being nice and saying it's a 7/10 which is a good score but you're all crybaby faggots. Can't wait to sell you slop at 89$ which is what you morons would have paid for this game

how did they do it?

cute redhaired girl;

I don't play AAA slop.

advertising

Why didn't they advertise it before release then?

I've done AA slop too, you probably love that shit. You seem like that kind of retard

Why can't multi-billion dollar companies do it but the very infamous "Kepler Interractive" can?

multi billion dollar companies are packed with boomers who have failed upwards their entire career

Anon Babble is slower than it used to be before the blackout, particularly Anon Babble. It used to be unthinkable that a 400+ reply thread could stay up for multiple days, but it's the norm now. People accuse these threads of being shilled or bottled, but whatever hiroshimoot did in the background appears to have heavily cut down on bots and phone traffic.

Fatass

ha ha sure buddy, you've worked on every single game I've ever played, you're just that good (at not holding down a job)

seepussy

no source

Kys

that's not a flex, slavery and its practitioners do not equal a flex.

been here for 20 years

still uses "normie"

i once pretended to be an oldfag too, when i was 14 in 2008

89$

oh and you're an ESL too, nice

Why didn't this work for new Doom game?

7 hours of cutscenes

20 hours of gameplay

fify lying piece of shit.

did I say that ESL?

How is a month the same escalation to a year as you?
Like where's the spam for Miku on Fortnite or Marvel RIvals?

Yes, 4 hours
youtube.com/watch?v=mGnLf9qJgjM
And considering the game is like 30-35 hours of main story, checks out.

n-no Chinese astroturfing isn't real!

We literally have videos.

cope you probably haven't even played god hand. you are an absolute nigger shill. English is my first language and I guarantee you I speak and write English better than you. In fact I guarantee you I'm probably better than you in every conceivable metric

nooo you're the Pajeet

Why are 33jeets trying to deflect? This game is obviously being massively shilled and astroturfed. It's the definition of an "industry plant".

Why is there a drag queen? Game looks like shit.

Naming the site is epic le newfag

Elaborate.

The BG3 schizo latched onto 33

So that's how he's moving on.

includes optional camp dialogue (not cutscenes)

includes journal entries (not cutscenes)

kys

hello mr. investor I want money to make a game

singleplayer

not on phones, PC and consoles

no recurring revenue

no microtransactions, no gacha

not 80 euros

There had to be some family ties pulled because how the fuck do you get funded with this pitch?

he's a fucking shill trying to gaslight someone into playing his shitty game

adding talking to vendors and the arena as cutscenes

retard.

god hand

you speak like a newfag who just learned it's a hot game on this board

English is my first language and I guarantee you I speak and write English better than you.

and you still wrote 89$, curious

It has as many cutscenes as Death Stranding and the whole game plays like a movie.

Impressive. That's what having good worth of mouth does for you.

where do you think 4chin comes from you fucking newfaggot?

his dad is a billionaire

and the whole game plays like a movie.

Death stranding? Yeah. Even hollywood actors are in it.
CO actually has a shitton of gameplay.

he moved from Baldur's Gate 3 to Clair Obscur

next time be less obvious

It was no more than 20 million. Guillaume ran a tight ship, and multiple people wore a lot of hats in the development cycle, so issues were noticed and fixed quickly.

no fag I actually beat God Hand on my PS2 on a CRT. you're a fucking little bitch shilling expedition 69. get fucked

i wrote 89$ because it reads 89 dollars. SUCK MY DICK. No one cares about your 7/10 game here except for other shills

Damn dude, you can even suck dick and take it up the ass better than him? Grats!

Do you?
Like it's a quick search
I know but I want to humor it for humor.

how did they do it?

Turn based combat games are always long as fuck because its designed to waste your time. No shit its still being played

These are angel investors

billionaire

Lol no, billionaires are public figures, France doesn't have many of them.

I'd be surprised if they spent more than 10 million total.
The game, for all its virtues, has a shitton of generic UE5 assets.

source?

There is a very soulful reason for Gestrals to exist. Also you have shit-taste for not liking them immediately.

yeah, it does seem like you said that with English as your second language

are always long as fuck

... says about the game inspired by older jrpgs so it's over in like 35 hours.
It's a game you can finish in a week unless you do endgame side content.

if I had to, definitely. You're gay for immediately fantasizing about that though

ok hundreds of millions of euros + interest free financing at the bank my bad monsieur

you wish nigger. I could speak English better than you even while drunk and fucking your mom at the same time

chinkslop falls into obscurity after a few months

it keeps happening

I think the game looks boring with a cookie cutter numale plot.

It's a linear game full of movie tropes and a ton of cutscenes.
Normies love it because of that. People play it because of it. And the game takes no more than 15 hours if you play well. and no more than 25 hours if you're terrible at it.

right, it reads 89$ when you say it out loud, but that's not how you write it. That is literally a mistake only an ESL would make.

He's the harbinger of massively successful RPGs.

numale plot.

Not only are you wrong, I know you didn't play 4 hours in

Okay, you have to suck my dick.
a/s/l?

i write colloquially on the internet, always have. never gave a fuck about faggots like you. I'm a top English writer when I need to be (much better than you don't worry)

cookie cutter numale plot.

The main character's thing is about making hard choices for the sake of his family (nevermind deluded maellefags who hate him for what he does).

It's one of the Todd ball washer favela monkeys who are still seething over BG3 raping Slopfield.

for the sake of his family

He objectively fucked everything up even worse, even if he didn't mean it.

only if you stop shilling expedition 69 and go back to talking about PS2 era games which were actually good

It just got a massive content update

We can play RoTK co op on my couch so when is my dick getting sucked

makes a simple mistake that outs himself

IT'S A COLLOQUIALISM THAT LITERALLY NO NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER USES

I'M A TOP ENGLISH WRITER

ha ha yeah ok Ranjit

fucked everything up even worse

Aline? Out of the canvas.
Alicia's retarded, lying and suicidal ass? Out of the canvas
Alicia was the one who fucked up everything by wanting to kill herself because of her guilt. Verso WANTED her to fix everything and go home.

put me on CC for your resignation letter at keywords or whatever dump you work for

[email protected]

what is this mental illness?
being found out and still quadrupling down proving your retardness even more

Only autists care about number symbols that much. You're clearly trying to force the issue because you have nothing. If anyone's a pajeet, it's (You)

I'm unemployed you fucking idiot now you are going to SUCK THIS COCK GOOD

faggot no one cares about where I put the dollar sign, you're clearly trying to force this. Everyone sees you for the faggot shill you are. If anyone's mentally you, it's you being a tranny. You should be thanking me for making your favorite tranny slop games

It's just a simple mistake no one who speaks English as a first language would make. Take this newfound knowledge, and use it to improve your astroturfing capabilities, as my gift to you.

The smartest Ubishit pajeet.

I'm glad woke games can still sell well.

[The Thread is removed from the Catalog.]

he does it for free

Astro Gay 10/10

Balding Gay 3 10/10

All opinions invalidated holy shit.

no one who works outside of finance or gay corpo shit uses that symbol regularly. Keep trying to force the issue but at the end of the day I'm a gigachad game industry dev, calling out expediton 69 as the 7/10 it is, and reminding everyone that PS2 had the best games, and I speak better English than you, and all you have going for you is being a gaslighting faggot on the internet, with no one else in the thread even giving you any attention

Japan is a dying infertile country

Word of mouth. People play the game and tell others that it's good. It's that simple, it happened with BG3 too.

seething gooks who can only make shitty self-insert protag games with disgusting artstyles and obnoxious mascots are seething at someone else utterly flexing the genre on them

LMAO

file.png - 1280x720, 1.6M

An "industry plant" that might have undermined the drive for higher prices?

How does that work?

well yeah, I'm sure no one in India uses it all that regularly but we do in fact use it all the time here in America

ironically this game is the solution to the AAA bloated budget problem. The 400 million dollar Concord or AC Yasuke model is obviously no longer sustainable. How do we get gamers to buy AAA slop at half the budget? Shill expedition 69 as game of the year, have a bunch of tasteless normies exclaim how they would gladly pay full 100 dollars for it and boom we now have AAA slop at a fraction of the quality and cost, suddenly profitable again. Gamers are the biggest retard consumers. The same people who bought DLC while bitching about it.

cope nigger

undermines the push to $70/$80

undermines the entire outsourcing-to-India culture of AAA development

even Kepler itself undermines the AAA publishing model

hmmmm...

EVIL RUN EXTERMINATE ALL KIDS

Your pills, anon.

holy shit! you got perfect pitch anon!

I make the games you play bitch boy. You're literally my bitch. You're my pay pig. For me it's a job, for you it's a mental illness. Again for me this is great because I can work less hard and make more money. For gamers this is just further degradation of the hobby and medium, caused by retards like you who think they're good at debating on the internet by autistically hyper fixating on details no one cares about

China and Tencent are somehow behind it... I know it!!

name five games

3.3 million copies milestone soon

that I've made? hell no I would doxx myself

here's 5 games you should play that came out while you were in diapers

God Hand
Resident Evil 4 (the original, not the nu-slop)
Half-Life 2
Metal Gear Solid 2
Hello Kitty Adventure (since you're a faggot, I figured you'd enjoy that one)

Pajeet shill drops the mask

who cares what nips think? they cant even finish games like Persona/SMT without using a guide.

not true, they just like reading, something zoomers will never understand

F sharp, D, E, F sharp

B minor, G, E minor, A

They just made a good game. It's also artsy and has a good emotional story. So all the redditors who want to appear intellectual feel forced to play and discuss it. Scummy streamers see how popular it becomes and then jump on the bandwagon as well, completely ditching Oblivion which they thought would be the popular game o the month (lol). And then of course all the braindead retards who only watch streamers start jumping on too.

At the end of the day, it's a good game even if the community is completely ruined now.

whats going on where are all the faggot shills? did your shift end? you guys were insta replying for the last hour

i stopped trusting these gay retards 20 years ago when they blasted ninja gaiden for not "not being accssible and not extending a hand to less dedicated players"

based

So it's a confirmed GOTY from the industry then

ur a jeet!!

NO UR A JEET!!!

rinse and repeat

I fucking hate nu/v/ so goddamn much.

they are both shills, whether they are jeets, chinks or minimum wage westerners doesn't matter

assmanchimp will say anything that trends anon.

How did the french do it?

by following a formula that actually worked in the past? by not turning it into a movie like Cuck of War or a big fuck you waste of time like most of the newer FF games.
