There is no chance that Clair Obscur won't win GOTY

The BG3 schizo having a melty about "Chinese shills" is funny as fuck when you remember Chinese reviews for this game are negative, it would be at 98% without them.

Winning goty? Prime 4 will rape this game

physical copies outsold everywhere, the game was the top selling game on japanese ps store for 3 weeks in a row.

It's either Death Stranding 2 or Ghost of Yoei.
The Game Awards has a bias towards Sony exclusives.

Maybe Japan can give Nintendo a consolation prize when this games wins GOTY. What a fucking stupid comparison. Name 1 better jrpg that Japan has made recently. Im ready to hear your tranny cope

You're probably right, as unfortunate and undeserved as it feels. Guess normies just love their pseudointellectual tear jerkers too much.

There is no chance Clair Ubscur wont be forgotten by the time GOTY season rolls around

And yet you're still talking about it

Prime 4

Even ignoring the story completely every other part of the game is pure ludokinography. It would be very deserved

Agreed
Unless

Better music

Better more iconic characters

Better level design and structure

Better gameplay

More core variety

Better story

Also dont give af about the dorito pope awards.When astrobot wins before mario the literal face of the industry it means fuck all lmao

Buddy prime 4 wouldn't even have won game of the year if you could go back in time and release it as is in 2010.

Didn't realize you were a time traveller

geoff is friends with kojimbo

Buddy E33 gameplay is shit I played 20 years ago with the thousand year door lmao.

I don't know about winning, but I'll definitely not be surprised to see it nominated and winning some more niche GOTYs

e33 filters nintentoddlers like you. You wouldn't even play it unless it came to the switch 2, and you'd be playing it on easy mode

It'll win OST and maybe narrative
GTA VI will get GOTY

I played 20 years ago with the thousand year door lmao.

Truly.

Tendies could never

GTA VI got pushed to 2026

lmao, I guess Death Stranding 2 is the only possible contender then

So, I've been watching this game recently. I know it's been called the Dark Souls of JRPGs and all that, but is it really true? I mean, in the sense that the defensive moves are dodging and parrying, and both are binary evasive actions. You either take full damage or no damage at all. Is there no partial damage mitigation? Or rather what I mean is: are there any situations where you're forced to take some damage?
Ultimately, what's stopping you from just building every character into a glass cannon? Sure, there's no guarantee you can just parry everything, but you can just dodge, not even perfect dodge, and still avoid 100% of the damage of an incoming attack.

Link them faglord. You wont.

I know it's been called the Dark Souls of JRPGs and all that

It's more about the aesthetics and inspiration than actual gameplay, there's a ton of souls inspired enemy and environment design and two very shameless From Software tribute bosses.

Or rather what I mean is: are there any situations where you're forced to take some damage?

Only one, but it's a spoiler and a nice surprise.

Is there no partial damage mitigation?

Ultimately, what's stopping you from just building every character into a glass cannon?

You can build your characters with effects on being hit and defensive pictos and don't use the dodge system at all except for very specific circumstances. At the other end of the spectrum, yes, you absolutely can make glass canon builds and they break the game, shit like autodeath on turn start, then autorevive at 1HP, stack pictos with buffs on death and buffs on low HP and just parrygod everything if you can.

simon says..

If Sony was smart, they'd befriend the new blood since they're way better than SE when it comes to JRPGS.

You can dodge and parry anything so you can never get hit. The hp and defense stats are pointless even if you do get hit. There are good survivability pictos like shield stacking (shields eat 1 hit, works on almost every enemy in the game), survive with 1hp and auto revive. So yeah, glass cannon is the only actual build. There's no reason to do anything else. You don't need to defend anything either because they balanced the game like a gacha game.

jrpgcucks are so buckbroken by paying square enix for bad games for 20 years that they need to try to psyop people into forgetting mainline Metroid Prime games are guaranteed 90+ on metacritic to prop up some french slop with a horrible name to prove some larger point to the industry about muh turn based combat.

Once you've found yourself buried completely in a hole of egregore schizoposting, stop digging.

he is right though, the only people defending this game are autistic JRPG weebs because of

muh maelle loli pedoshit

muh harem with asian wife

muh turn based JPIG slop

this.
literally incel game

but but my completely different genre…

In non-rigged contests.

do you faggots honestly like this faggot game with its grotesque writing and dialogue? this shit is unbearable unless youre a faggot loving yourself, I see no other explanation.

faggot loving yourself

good morning saar

yes
next question

at least I am not a faggot who likes faggot games made by faggots for faggots like e33. faggot.

It won't win. (or be nominated)
But it WILL be my GOTY.

as long as you know your game is shit
made by faggots for faggots like you.

India should be banned from the internet

Oh shit E33 dogshit spam ended? Man what a horrid game

Gonna cry?

lol
Clair Obscur won't win because they did not pay off the woke tax. And Lune is too sexy so they pissed off the woke journalists.

They're just gonna shill some garbage like Balatro again. I only tried Balatro because it was free with PS+ and I can't believe this shit won last year. The gaming awards are a fucking joke.

parrying is sound based

parrying produces a sound

so in situations like this where there's multiple attacks you hear SHWING-

and then the parry's WOOM plays over the next SHWING
legitimately, unironically, seriously, what were they thinking? i haven't seen anyone complain about this but it is a glaring design flaw. also some moves like the shadow bolts have a sound indicator for when they're launched and not when they land.

if you dont like faggot games you are le indian

okay, faggot.

if shit like baldur's gay 3 can win and not a good jrpg without lgbt garbage, then goty is officially dead.

Which "good" jrpg should have won goty over bg3

Astro bot won last year, retard.

armored core 6 and wo long were much better games than bald and gay 3.

It only sold 10k physical copies opening week because that's all they had in Japan lmao. Game was sold out everywhere

shitty game
youtube.com/watch?v=yj6JbgMdrZo

shitter

it will win RPG of the Year and nothing else. The rest will go to DS2 in everything it is nominated in

I don't give a fuck about awards. Someone just share the maelle bikini mod already for fucks sake.

You should feel the rhythm more than the sound effect honestly

Game was sold out everywhere

It sold out in my country the first week, and they still haven't restocked it for the whole month. It's still top in sales just from preorders that will arrive in June

Eh, not so sure about it. The game starts out great and then just drowns in lots of terrible ideas that undermine both the initial premise and gameplay pace. The story that goes out of control and instead of just having a good tale told in an unusual an intriguing setting shits the bed with "le message". The gameplay that starts out with nice and parrying/dodging system supplementing the fast-paced encounters and then dives deep into boring drawn out attack animation that is a slog to sit through and bosses with long-ass cut scene-ish attack animations and unintuitive parrying timings where animation and sound ques don't stay consistent like in DMC, for example. I feel like the game was this field of conflicting interests where some devs wanted to make it fun and the others were souls fans and thought watching some unshapely blobs pole dancing for 30+ seconds is a peak definition of fun. And this really saddens me cause that's the only original game that's caught my attention in a long while and now it gives me the same feel of disgust I got near the end part of Final Fantasy VII Remake with long-ass cutscenes of Cloud and party jumping through the whirlwind of shit and fighting le metaphorical floating garbage men.

Best Art Direction

Probably

I feel like I've seen those lol so fantasy worlds with belts of flying debris everywhere and gigantomaniac environments like hundreds of times before. I do agree about the score and maybe performance.

Watch them add a god tier online mode in a free patches and win every single category

I just want Kojima to not win. Retards keep falling for his edgy cinematography and go DUDE CINEMA

The story that goes out of control

It doesn't.

Parrying is visual based, the sounds are training wheels, which should be off by the time you get to Simon.

Hi anons, just here to say your favourite character/s are shit, the characters you think are most morally justified in their actions are not, your favoured ending is the worst and your interpretation of both endings is incorrect and I really want to fuck the entire cast.

DUDE LE BAGUETTE SNOOZEFEST DRAMA STORY PARRY SLOP

fuck off faggot

Nah. Movies aren't games nigger.

Monoco included?

I like Expediton 33 and think its my GOTY but you just reminded me that DS2 is coming out soon and there's a good chance it'll unseat this game

win GOTY

Who gives a fuck

I would fuck my way through the entire canvas if it meant I could mating press Maelle and Clea, that's including every nevron with all their pointy feet.

just because he doesn't make your type of game you want to play doesn't mean he should make a different game. I and many others very much like his games. No one is forcing you to play his games retard, go play bing bing wahoo or some shit like that

I like Expediton 33 and think its my GOTY but you just reminded me that DS2 is coming out soon and there's a good chance it'll unseat this game

Ok, so maybe I just expected some classic fantasy stuff instead of yet another meta shit everyone and their grandma use nowadays. And I also expected something that leans onto classic JRPG mechanics a bit more. I mean, soulslop combat by the end of the game and some optional bosses is not bad but good god it feels annoying mashed together with turn-based system. The saddest thing is that recently shown prototypes had the classic "Defend" option during the combat.

I thought the combat system was fun. The only gimmick I didn't like was Sciel's system

Japan cannot create only copy

How did the axons come back in the end after I had already killed them?

Ok, so maybe I just expected some classic fantasy stuff instead of yet another meta shit everyone and their grandma use nowaday

Yeah, that's your expectations. Doesn't mean the story got out of control though.
It's one the most coherently written story in recent vidya History with barely any plotholes and where everything about the "twist" (it isn't one) is already introduced in the very first act.

the faceless ppl are the real ones from outside the painting right
so why do we see so much of real verso (as a boy)? isn't he dead

Donkey Kong Bonanza and Death Stranding can steal it for sure. You probably got a few fall surprises that stand a chance as well with Grand Theft Auto VI being pushed to next year, so these other studios feel more confident pushing their game up.

Act 1 was good. But then the writing really fell apart.
From a gameplay perspective it's a unique take on the JRPG genre, but it's not well balanced

indistinguishable from the bowser jr boss fight at rainbow gumdrop river

The final boss of TTYD mogs this.

they're 100% giving it to sonyslop like death stranding or ghost of dykima, they need a PR win after marathon's inevitable fiasco

I would suggest Doom TDA since it’s the only game to come out with actual combat but then I remembered that not even Doom Eternal won a single award despite easily being the best game in 2020. Only Sony slop wins anymore.
