This has got to be one of the most braindead stories ever. If the characters aren't real, and the world isn't real, then why should I give a shit about what happens to any of them? Why would I care about Sciel whining about her dead man when they can all literally just be repainted? Characters that don't exist sobbing about loss that can just be undone with the flick of a pen. What a fucking letdown. The beginning really hooked me, and then when I get far enough the game just takes a massive dump on my face. I genuinely feel like I wasted my fucking time with this ass. This game was obviously just shilled. I know nothing about the creators, but it seems obvious that they've got connections. Probably a bunch of freemasons too, the faggots.
This has got to be one of the most braindead stories ever. If the characters aren't real, and the world isn't real...
Clair 4/10scur was just quite cringe wasn't it? Compare how good the QTE attacks are from a design point in Paper Mario TTYD, compare the world storytelling to darksouls 3 or Half Life 1 or something.. The game is mediocre on every aspect but a 4/10 game is a masterpiece in todays terrible AAA game landscape..
The world is flashy ride with blinking lights, the characters are shallow empty smug plot devices. Every real gamer are cringing hard at this rothschild-funded game, it's just extremely cringe and does not have even have the amount of character building for all their characters combined as the LEAST developed FF10 character, Kimahri Ronso. The game will be forgotten as depressing shock screensaver sloppa without engaging characters except for maybe Gustave that the subversive leftie writers had to kill off because he was too wholesome and cohesive for the party, making them be on the same page and have comfy order. Instead as usual we have to embrace chaos and fetisize being in free fall and not in control, don't you love shocking twists and bland characters just having to do random stuff because "we have to go here now".? An extremely unwholesome and non-Ronso-y experience, even cringe I would say..
Kimahri Ronso is A LOT deeper than Lune and Sciel combined, you can probably throw in Monoco as well the superior RonsRons still prevail! The party just ignoring questioning Verso after Gustave died, and just invite him like braindead idiots is terrible writing, sorry consumerbros.

Why is there not a single gameplay webm for this game on Anon Babble?
I dont see this for any other game
Most of the shills haven't even played the game.
I've seen people praising it as based and antiwoke "because it doesn't have any blacks", although the game is full of them.
If the characters aren't real
stopped reading here
sorry to hear about your experience, OP.
I fell for the meme, too, but thankfully I only pirated it. so, nothing lost for me except a few hours time.
you haven't looked hard enough. they were posted frequently that second week when the shilling went out of control.
written by a redditor
Honestly, what did you expect? Of course it was going to be pseudo intellectual slop
cya tard
By what standard are they "not real"? They have free will and emotions, they even turn on their creators and physically hurt them. The only difference between normal humans and painted people is that painted people are made from chroma and can't survive outside the painting. If they were like NPC's and just husks that followed a script you would have a point but that's not the case at all.
By the muttoid "I can't read" standard
new game comes out
everyone says it's great
oh boy, hope it's not a shilling campaign again
play it
turns out despite its highlights, it's overall just mediocre
turns out all the positivity was just shilling again
I really should stop falling for this constantly, but I guess I'm just too hopeful and hungry good games.
they are husks, maelle didn't know what was really happening until everyone disappeared. the paintress even tells verso and maelle that they're not like the originals
The only painted person that's somewhat close to being real is Verso because he's a remnant of his creator.
The characters and world aren't real in any game you've ever played. How do entirely sentient beings existing within a painting really make them different from in any other story?
Why would I care about all the death and drama and sadness when everything can just be undone by a painter? There are zero stakes in this story.
they're not like the originals
Right
They're their own people despite their creation
I hate fucking atheists faggots like you
Because in other stories, the characters are real within the context of the story itself. Kinda obvious answer though, I just have to assume you have mental issues.
Nothing can be undone, retard.
When they're brought back, they're not the same person. Did you miss the Noco dialogue?
Did you miss how everyone has slight different personality in the Maelle ending.
Muttoids should be deported to Africa.
Atrus from Myst is the Writer that killed Verso btw
every story ever written can be undone by the earth blowing up, what's your point? The game doesn't have a magical happy ending where nothing is lost.
Noco wasn't repainted
The characters are just as real as in any other story, painters are basically just gods capable of descending to walk amongst their creations. That's why painters keep doing things like apologising to the people within the painting or befriending them. The painting is a living world.
Maelle's entire team got wiped out and repainteded with no differences though.
Because she was able to grab their chroma before it was recycled at all, if she could undo anything then Gustave would be brought back at the same time
None of them are real. The entire story is just Alicia play-pretending herself to death.
That's precisely what it isn't
Nice headcannon
She's shown physically grabbing their chroma before fleeing
Congrats, you've now discovered why Tolkien hated allegory, stories that focused more on the Meta™, misery porn, etc.
While I believe it was always meant to be a painted world, I think the story was rewritten. Too many early scenes don't make sense. Like Aline and Renoir arguing over Alicia being in the painting but later when you meet the paintress she doesn't know Alicia is in the painting. The scene with Maelle and Goblu means nothing.
Game comes out
People like it
Mind breaks Anon Babble
Every time
I can like the game and still think the last 3rd of it is dogshit
atheist retards encounter creationism for the first time
KILL YOURSELF
Like Aline and Renoir arguing over Alicia being in the painting but later when you meet the paintress she doesn't know Alicia is in the painting
The paintress has gone insane and has been stuck in the monolith the entire time Alica entered the painting.
Probably a bunch of freemasons too
now that you mentioned it, the director's early life on Wikipedia mentions some interesting information
That's a retarded cope answer.
the paintress she doesn't know Alicia is in the painting
She's barely holding her mind together. Painted Renoir either didn't tell her because he wanted to handle it himself or he did tell her and she's having a dementia fit.
The scene with Maelle and Goblu means nothing.
Goblu has its own paintings and sculptures in the manor, Maelle's just getting deja vu seeing it.
All characters are real and tangible to each other you stupid fucking imbecile.
btw did they ever detail how Alicia was responsible for her brother dying or did I completely miss something
what if you learned tomorrow that we are part of a simulation? would you tell yourself you are not real then? would you say your life did not matter? at least to you? would you be okay with them wanting to shut down the simulation or would you want to live?
She's barely holding her mind together.
It's easy to rewrite your game and say "lol she's crazy" to dismiss what came before.
Goblu has its own paintings and sculptures in the manor,
The manor being absolutely full of Verso's paintings from when he was 10 is stupid.
Nepobaby + $172 netease bux, what did you expect? The game only gained popularity thanks to a massive marketing campaign.
why would i care about anon's death when he can just be undone by god?
The Writers tricked her in some way that caused the fire, which then led to Verso going into the fire to save Alicia, but he died in the process
No it isn't. You're a retard who think the painters are omniscient. They're not
I think she knew Alicia entered the canvas and argued with Renoir about it because it is a scene in the fucking game. You are an idiot.
what do you consider to be good games, anon? i'm curious
Wow, what a mindbending philosophical conundrum. If I wasn't real, then how would I feel? I suppose I wouldn't feel much of anything, now would I. Because I wouldn't be real.
The manor being absolutely full of Verso's paintings from when he was 10 is stupid.
Clea painted the Nevrons in the canvas so most of the monster artwork in the manor is probably hers.
If I wasn't real, then how would I feel?
you absolute cretin, that's the crux of the entire game and of that anon's post. you DO feel, therefore you are real, so if our current universe turned out to be a simulation, you would still be real.
i rarely say this but you are genuinely low iq
caring about the story in a video game
How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
They're fictional characters that feel? I don't think so.
how do you retards even manage to turn on a computer? don't you have amish communities to live in and a fairy tale god to pray to? the absolute state of this board with the closed minded retards it attracts is saddening
alright you got two (you)'s out of me, well done anon. time well spent baiting on an anonymous laotian basket weaving forum
Yeah, you should care about the gameplay. Which sucks. The parrying mechanic completely destroys the game.
But I did eat breakfast this morning.
caring about the story in a video game
i have some game recommendations for your mental/maturity level
I still remember when Star Ocean 3 was torn to pieces for exactly the same twist. But E33 is French and has a cute redhead, so the twist is a masterpiece now.
Most intelligent burger mutt post
The universe can't be a simulation if I feel though. Actual feelings and simulated feelings are separate things. This is the point you fail to grasp.
I do prefer skinner boxes that give me dopamine when i do the thing on the screen without any thought
He is a completely seperate being created from the memories of Aline. He exists independently of the fragment of Verso's soul, which is more of an echo than a literal fragment of Verso. Regardless of what the fragmented boy is, Painted Verso has impostor syndrome.
It's not a twist. The foreshadowing is obvious. Sorry you're brown and retarded.
I'm never playing this shit, did they really pull a DRV3 on you?
If the characters aren't real
I don't think it's possible for people who are paying attention to hold that belief.
I think you sniff paint if you believe the last 3rd of the game actually means anything.
They have free will and emotions,
How can you have those if the painter can just erase you and paint you again with the memories she wanted? Do you think your ai chat waifu exist too?
It was all a deam
Nothing sweeter than seeing someone reveal that their criticism is born of being a brainlet
Your father could shoot you and make another, better, son. One that doesn't play shitty video games.
Why would I ever want to play this if I know the "twist"?
It makes everything I do feel totally useless as it's "all a dream"
By this logic if a wizard showed up at your house and brainwashed you with magic that would somehow mean you never had free will or emotions.
How can you have free will and emotions if the painter can just repaint you?
How can you have free will and emotions if god can just remake you?
How can you have free will and emotions if god can just remake you?
Nah.
Based high IQ reply pissing off all the shills
I mean to be fair the biblical God doesn’t really allow for the concept of free will unless you just handwave the problems with “mysterious ways”
No it isn't you fucking retard. Kill yourself shitskin.
Free will is a meme. It doesn't exist. Not even in sound theology does it exist.
Painters can give "graces" to their creations, that's how pVerso was able to meet kid Versoul outside of the canvas, when he shouldn't. The gestral thing in the sacred river is basically repainting dead gestrals using their remaining chroma.
You're brown! If you don't like my baguetteslop then you're brown! Brown!
"I did have breakfast"-ah line of thinking
One of the things I love about this game is that it's a game made and written for white people in mind. Brown people incapable of contemplation beyond a single degree of abstraction are getting absolutely filtered by E33's story. It's almost poetic watching tribes of subhumans attempting to argue over concepts their brains cannot comprehend.
Yes.
Based.
I'm black and I knew the plot was going to go in this kind of direction because I've seen French cinema before. They love this kind of stuff.
This thread proved we don't deserve good video games. They are completely lost on these retards. We should only make mario games and valorant-like pvp shooters from now on.
It's a breath of fresh air for sure. Shitskins can go back to their weeb or mutt games.
Then the lives of the painters don't matter either.
You dont he already wrote your destiny even if you acknowledge he did. He can erase you and change your life however the fuck he wants.
If god exist and create you, you don't have free will you are just following the instructions he set on you.
Why does his nose have a butt
Muh white superiority pfhahaha. Last resort of whitetrash is to brag about their stupid genes. Go back to fuck your sister billy.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Clair Obscur. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Verso's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Clair Obscur truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Gustave's existencial catchphrase "for those who come after," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Guillaume Broche's genius unfolds itself on their gaming monitors. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have an Expedition 33 tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
biblical God doesn’t really allow for the concept of free will
Yes it fucking does, He imposed some rules and humanity's free will is what allows them to not obey. Man having free will was a factor in 2 pretty major incidents in and out of the kingdom of heaven
oh no, shitskin bro got mad :( when will you guys start making good media for the world to see? movies? video games? anything? when will you start contributing to science? why must the white and asian race carry you freeloader retards on their backs?
Black Souls did this whole concept better, unironically. It's also a better turn based RPG.
Free will is unbiblical.
I wish people would stop shilling this crap here
dude it's a porn game... BUT THE STORY IS SUPER GOOD I PROMISE!
wat
Was meant to quote
They can't do that you stupid fucking retards, the painters can't control the beings in the paintings. If they could why would the nevrons that Clea made to help renoir attack the only fucking people trying to stop her mother, or why would the axons made by renoir who are required to pierce through the barrier do the same.
Why yes I want to save my wife, oh these expeditioners who are the only people trying to help free my wife, yeah let's add some giants that will kill them
You can see this clearly with painting renoir and verso, they have different goals
I mean, the story is definitely better than E33.
Most of the biggest inventions and breakthroughs in science were made by PoC. Look it up yourself. Almost everything you guys have is stolen (land, resources, culture, human capital).
You KEEP POSTING THIS SHIT holy FUCK you're autistic
Imagine thinking nothing matters because it isn't permanent, fucking hell
the fictional story isn't... real?
If your parents ever said not to do something then you are an NPC who never had free will
I'm black
why
Yes, i am a woman
Yes, i picked the Maelle ending because i feel bad for her, sympathize with her plight and grew to insert my own maternal feelings towards her.
tits or gtfo
Alice in wonderland ends this way, but it isn't pretentious as it is a children's book. This video game doesn't look to be aimed at children, but maybe it is.
I just realized something. The mass death that happens after the paintress was literally a Thanos snap. Just like in the Avengers everyone turns to dust, and just like the Avengers it carries no weight because they can all just be brought back. This game is literal capeshit marvelslop.
That's fine. I'm talking about people who cognitively cannot comprehend the story because it requires the ability to think beyond a single degree of abstraction.
If you look at the posts I responded to you'll notice a common theme among them: they can only grasp the concept of fictional characters, but cannot fathom a second degree of abstraction within that same story. It's actually comical when you notice it. It's as if there's a cognitive barrier that prevents them from comprehending a story within another story, like watching an NPC unable to move past a virtual object.
Sounds like you're projecting.
it carries no weight because they can all just be brought back.
This is literally one of the themes in the story: that the finality of death is what gives life true value. This is why Maelle's ending is not happy; everyone is reanimated as if nothing happened. Gustave is simply there. How the fuck did this go over your head?
projecting
Why use words when you don't even know what they mean? At this point I genuinely believe you are not even sapient; you're merely a creature of flesh and instinct, mimicking the social behaviors of others.
I can guarantee you that the writer did not intend for that interpretation you have.
Now you just sound like a gnostic faggot.
You wouldn't deface a painting would you? No? Then that's why you save it.
everyone is reanimated as if nothing happened. Gustave is simply there
There's no way of knowing when the opera house scene is taking place. Gustave and the others could have been revived weeks ago and had time to come to terms with the truth about the canvas.
It's as if there's a cognitive barrier that prevents them from comprehending a story within another story
Perhaps they simply do not grasp its relevance?
what you do with your own creations is your business
If the characters aren't real, and the world isn't real, then why should I give a shit about what happens to any of them?
But the characters are real, and the world is real. So it's interesting that you think otherwise.
It's interesting. You see a game with a million threads, a lot of them calling it bad, on Anon Babble and that almost always means the game is great. Why is Anon Babble like this?
It's Verso's canvas
Perhaps they simply do not grasp its relevance?
That's a self-contradiction. You can't ascribe meaning to fictional characters whilst declaring that fictional characters within that fictional world are meaningless (even when those characters have a tangible impact on the people and world that encapsulates their own). Again, it's simply a brown inability to comprehend beyond the first degree of abstraction.
Maybe the idea that these people made hundreds of worlds with real people in them while living in France is kinda absolutely buttfucking retarded.
Whites are the least likely of all races to engage in incest.
Is he real?
Remove the framework of it taking place in a painting, you're still dealing with gods able to create or erase life on a whim. How do the stakes actually change by making it "real"?
the painters can't control the beings in the paintings.
They literally did, clea controlled her painted version forcing her to create nevrons. Maele repainted her friends however she remembered, renoir was painted with the original memories of the original verso. did you even played the game retard?
Maele even mentioned it plenty of times, fucking speed readers.
Your dopamine receptors are burnt out.
Clea repainted herself
Oh you mean the woman who tried to break free from that and literally killed herself because she didn't want to be that. And how it was quite literally told to you that ONLY Clea was strong enough to repaint over someone else's painting.
maelle repainted her friends however she remembered
Headcannon literally never stated
renoir was painted with the original memories of the original verso
I assume you meant verso was? Verso wasn't repainted he was created with those memories slightly altered. They can create the basis of what a character is but what that character DOES is entirely up to the character which is why renoir and verso did not agree despite both of them knowing what would happen when the paintress was forced out.
All you've proven is you're a speedreader
remove the thing that destroys the worldbuilding and you've a got a pretty decent game
Who knew?
How do the stakes change? Answer me.
I hate to break it to you chuddie but no video game characters are real
it was all a dream is actually a great twist because stories aren't real anyways
genius
That isn't the twist though
Probably a bunch of freemasons too, the faggots.
you really think 33 nepobaby game 33 DID YOU SEE THE MASON NUMBER 33 by the way the plot is extremely gnostic 33 might be affiliated with freemasonry?
a second albigensian crusade is two centuries overdue
Freemasonry is the brown religion
