You have five seconds to explain why you haven't played it yet

I'm playing atelier dusk trilogy comfy mode on my switch at the moment.

my 1650 cant run the game :(

From the little I've seen of story and characters, it all looked rather gay.
And I have plenty of games on my hands as is.

I dont like jarpigs

I am poor.

ok simon wasn't that bad, he just ha-

Clea: is that all you got my love?
Gonna skip the superbosses for now and just finish the game.

It's goyslop for low IQ, easily impressed normalcattle.

It's evil

kinda dropped it in the middle of act 2. unlocked the final character but it just feels like the story has hit such a lull. i have no interest in the new characters either.

im waiting for a switch 2 port

All distractions from God are evil.

fpbp

I've never been a turn based party guy, but I respect that it was done well in this game cuz I got some friends who are all in on it.

I'm gonna boughted it once it's on sale

People bought it just to shit on Ubisoft so it doesn't have merits as a game.

it's not a good game.

Because I'm playing the superior turn-based game released this year.

But I did play it this morning.

I can't really afford it

I dont know if it will run good on my 1080ti. And they didn't release a demo for me to test performance so I just won't play it

It's my policy never to give astroturfed slop a chance.

The anons who own cards on the 1xxx family like the 1050, 1060 and 1080 report that the game doesn't even start, showing the usual UE5 Dx11 error message.
The game is mediocre at best so you aren't missing anything.

My mommy took away my PC power cord.

This.

You sound full of shit the minimum requirement is a 1060

The visuals, music and characters are very gay and obnoxious.

Unironically claiming that minimal requirements mean anything on this age

Found the astroturfer

How much did pay you to shill this garbage here? How can you sleep at night?

watched it on youtube

I can't in good conscience play a game that made Anon Babble unusable for one month.

I think the top tier marketers at ubisoft got fired and poached by clair obscure devs. They might not know how to make good games, but damn if they aren't the best shills in the west

never to give astroturfed slop a chance.

How you even survive in America?

Turn based game with 3 niggers in a row game with dodge gimmick doesnt make it masterpiece

probably would've if the shills hadn't been so obnoxious, like you

It doesn't look fun. If I'm going to play a turn-based game, it needs a visual style I like (Hylics, Bravely Default, Octopath Traveler).

I don't play JRPGs or wannabe JRPGs.

The consensus is that the game is shit and only sold due to retards wanting to "fight back" against the AAA industry so I decided to avoid the fuck out of it.

I don't play cringe games shilled by paid Indians.

I've been on the fence about it for awhile. I'm not huge on RPGs but I remember liking Persona 5 and wondering if this might be similar to it?

What exactly makes it GOTY to most people?

What exactly makes it GOTY to most people?

1. Marketing: the game has been relentless marketed non-stop
2. Contrarianism. The developers are an independent studio formed by ex-Ubisoft employees so it became the perfect weapon to protest against the current AAA industry.
3. Culture war: the developers are white males with only a couple women so it became the perfect weapon for Anon Babble to protest against the current diversity-hire AAA industry
Just look at the positive reviews anywhere and you will never see anyone actually talking about the game itself, only the negative reviews do, painting a very unflattering portrait of the game itself.

tl;dr it's not a good game, it just got a lot of attention for things that aren't game-related even.

I don't care overrated games.

try 2 like it several times but its just boring

the astroturf campaign is so obnoxious i'll never be able to play it unbiased

It's not very similar.
It's really good at what it does and the fairly somber story it wants to tell while throwing some jrpg tropes in the mix and never being outright depressing barring some instances.
Gameplay is snappy so it goes by fast and there's a lot of variety in the encounters.
Amazing ost and runs super well.

1. Marketing: the game has been relentless marketed non-stop

Where? On TV? Radio? Youtube? Seriously, where? Or are you going to tell us the Freemasons have secretly assembled the largest marketing team in history to overwhelm Metacritic and Anon Babble for two straight months just to trick you?

tl;dr it's not a good game
It's really good, actually. Easily in my top three of all time.

Anon Babble told me it was bad.
Constantly.
In every thread for the last few weeks.

I don't play reddit games

Coomers still spending 24 hours a day shilling this waifuslop

I’m giving Metaphor a try first.

1. I can't play new games, I have money and hardware but I just don't feel like it.
2. I think the combat is too easy

it's already been completely spoiled for me

I got rig to play RDR2 in 90fps so I'm enjoying the story for the first time

See you in 100 hours of

racism bad multiculti society good 101

by a japanese peson in a mostly ethnically homogeneous society

Anon, this game has been pretty blatantly astroturfed everywhere; it even bought time on the Game Awards and every big gaming event.

That was microsoft, because it's on gamepass. They take care of advertising that.

It looks fine but why should I play it? Nothing about it is inherently more fun than a replay of Deus Ex.

not on GOG

It doesn't count when Microsoft does it

I don't like "four niggas in a row" turn based games.
I didn't like them 25 years ago either. I dont really like turn based games at all but if it has to be turn based then I prefer it like BG3 and Rogue Trader.

When they don't do it and microsoft advertises it alongside everything else, then yeah, it's basic advertising.
Advertising isn't astroturfing.

and Rogue Trader.

Owlcat's turnbased is the worst there is.
Because it's basically realtime-level of encounter density while taking WAY too long until you break the game in half.

Advertising isn't astroturfing.

It literally is.
And even if we ignore those big gaming events, it's pretty blatant how the marketers have been flooding Anon Babble non-stop for months, the dam completely breaking up when the game released.

The motherfucking board has been unusable due to the E33 marketing.

Hey bro it's ok you can't run it, maybe next year.

Played through the intro and the first 30 minutes of the expedition. Its literally just fighting statues through hallway after hallway. Turd based millennials really think this is peak gameplay lol.

Not enough rolling for you I guess!

That's a lot of baguettes

Because I read plot spoilers and decided I want nothing to do with that miserable piece of shit.

A whole lot of pain could've been avoided if these dickass painters could just keep themselves from sniffing canvas crack and let their world remain at peace.

33 million copies sold

Bullshit
Show me the proof

Apparently the racism is pretty front loaded according to my brother. It was the later stuff he talked about that made me curious to try it.
Still both it and E33 are on Gamepass so it won’t be like I wasted money.

I did it wasn't good

No, the game is

A MULTIRACIAL SOCIETY IS GOOD

DIFFERENT RACES CAN LIVE IN HARMONY TOGETHER

for 100 hours and the villain is evil because he thinks this is wrong and other people were racist to him.

Based.

I'm not sold on "Oh my God my wife oh my God deepest lore around my wife". Brown.

but but but Mae-

Shut up jrpgnigger.

NOOOOOOOOO MUH VERSO

*dooms a whole world*

yandere imoutos, not even once. Should have just said it straight that she wanted her brother's cock deep inside.

3.3/10 got me to reply from the front page while not even entering the thread

haven't bought it yet

But I like Press Turn, so I’m gonna play it a bit longer before I know if I’ll drop it.

Man some of you guys are just contrariness faggots, a good game comes out and you just avoid it to guzzle up the normal weekly slop, because it looks a certain way.

I used to like it a lot, but the more time passes and more games they release with it, the more it's just

game rewards you for not being an utter retard

doesn't help they've basically dropped any difficulty from their game except for a superboss or two.

Unfathomably and irredeemably shit take down to initial denial of aggressive marketing to begin with. It's a JRPG with a coat of paint over it for western audiences and instead of discussing the very basic rhythm game that sets it aside in terms of combat mechanics people are discussing muh waifu and she's perfect. Mark of a shit game, it kicking Ubisoft in the balls just served to exacerbate the undeserved popularity. Go play Strange Journey instead if you want something mechanics rich instead of a faggot Undertale JRPG.

JRPG with a coat of paint to appeal to western audiences

Nobody discusses the gameplay itself just "omg the story, omg my wife, such emotion big wow"

It's shit.

But people have discussed the gameplay, builds and the like, but like any jrpg the biggest point of discussion is the story.

See

When? Where? What builds? This undertale jrpg has had me curiously enter dozens of threads over weeks on the fence debating trying it before I could conclude it had nothing worth talking about other than the same shit that made Undertale get such an obsessive and autistic fan base.

Can you point some out in this very thread or are you gonna start painting them into existence?

A lot of Anon Babble's absolute favorites (the Senran Kagura series, the Neptunia series, the Gravity Rush series) are never discussed from a gameplay standpoint and no one has an issue with that.
In fact when you speak against those games due to having mediocre gameplay Anon Babble becomes extremely defensive and says things like "it's fun!", "it's competent enought", "at least is better than AAA slop".

So, why it suddenly an issue for E33?

Page 10

My game is dogshit

Why does other dogshit get a pass?

Dogshit take Undertale 2.0 fan

Because it goes against his headcanon

no one discusses the game, it's all shilling!

people actually discuss the game

but where's the gameplay discussion!

there is too, just less so

BUNCH OF SHILLS, ASTROTURFED

have work 6 days a week for 12 hour shifts

I'm so exhausted, I made it to act three and I'm currently getting bitch slapped around by phase 2 Simon. I just don't have time to play videogames anymore, the previous month was fine but it's unironically over for the next 4 months. I'm fucking devasted, learning his move set is akin to fighting Artorias all over again.

soft admission there is no discussion of gameplay

after denying such a fact

Shit nigga

tfw you kill your painted brothers painted sister (yourself)

Go to Anon Babble, plenty of discussion

b-but

I don't care, schizo-

circlejerking a soft admission there is no discussion about the game's gameplay occurring

thinks what most people consider a porn game before a fighting game is what they should compare E33 to

You can only beat Simon at level 99

vg

Anon, I've been in Stalker general and across vg since before you posted your first post.

You go back and take your cult members that have no worthwhile gameplay to discuss with you, vg is where it belongs.

The real question is, why should every thread have gameplay discussion.
You yourself admitted you've been stalking these threads, shitposting no doubt, you surely could have brought that up.

Game is good

why does anyone need to talk about the gameplay?

it's like Senran

Pathetic concession turned to backpedaling. Your concession was quietly accepted and the more you push faggot whataboutisms like this the quicker people will shit down your throat until you get quarantined to vg, just like Undertale.

Nah, you need to be in your 90s sure, but it's a matter of learning the timings for his long combo and lightspeed.

I am very autistic about finishing games that I started before moving onto new ones. I dont want to be a brainlet FOTM slave and jump from one thing to another no matter how good it is...

I played it the moment it came out, loved every second of it, and am now currently cherishing the impotent seethe of buckbroken anons who hate the game for no explicable reason. I look forward to many suicides when the goty award is announced.

im on a 1050ti.

Turn based, and the attitude of the freaks shilling it on here certainly doesn't make it any more attractive either.

learn the combos

Lol you guys did that? He was like 20 hit combos by his final final phase. Bro your Second Chance and Revive Paradox? Bro your Stendahl 6 turns in a row with Sciel?

Bro your Stendahl 6 turns in a row with Sciel?

Cheesing is not fun

attitude of the freaks shilling it on here certainly doesn't make it any more attractive either.

How old are you? If you payed attention to any of the Anon Babble posters you would need to skip a ton of fun games.

I'm too busy to play vidya currently, I'll buy once my parents die.

I’m a heterosexual white male

Because I'm still stuck playing other games that came out around that time

What do you mean I I I'm playing it look

Tfw 30 hours a week and 8 weeks off a year between holiday/PTO/vacation

my backlog is enormous and I can't buy it for a a tenner yet

Kinda same here
I'm playing through this so slowly that I'm just absorbing spoilers left and right, it's kinda sad. By the time I finish this thing the next GOTY will come out

This game very loosely makes me think of Made in Abyss

i only need three.

The only instance for me at which this is happening is if I use DLAA + RenoDX

dangerously based

delete your mods for the 178th time

its free

Listen to music ingame

It's ok, quality is fine but nothing amazing (except for the music itself being good)

Listen to it on youtube

Sounds better

What the fuck, is it compressed ingame or something? Is there a setting I'm not aware of?

E33fags in the other thread were comparing the game's writing to James Joyce and Homer.
Are you faggots for real?

i don't have an Nvidia card and i'm not using RenoDX. happens anyway.

and for the 178th time, i don't have any fucking mods.

there is something wrong with some mixing of the songs, you can tell the composer started with amateur tools and then got better
hope he invests in his own studio now that he's probably made 1M with streaming

I'm not brown, so I haven't played it.

play it, it's very good bros seriously

I'm not brown, so I have played it.

Well, if it was so frequent it'd happen to more people. Sucks to be you.

Homer has writing?

they will pretend it’s bait but you know they actually believe it

While this is somewhat true I'm more talking about the sound itself ingame. I also noticed voices not being volume "normalized". I had a few NPCs speak louder, I don't know if it's intentional but fuck.

give me the money or the game on ps5, fuckass, here in Brazil valentine days is this month so my paycheck this month went all to the gift

what am I in for?
Is there french VA? Should I play it in french?

no , lipsync is better in english
also play in expert and don't do much of act 3 before the end boss

Yeah, french and english are the two voice languages available.
While I prefer some of the voices in french, lipsync is done with english in mind and if you don't understand french seriously, don't become a frenchaboo. Just fucking play it in english. I doubt these are top notch french voice actors or that the game is so badly localized (the subtitles match english anyways like most modern games do)

The game has a huge damage scaling problem. At the end of the game you get ridiculously OP.
If you want to actually have fun you should do minimal grinding and play on the hardest difficulty

i've got other UE5 games that run fine, it's just E33.
hope there's a patch at some point.

It's the same bait as people pretending that DMC2 was a masterpiece and 5 was unplayable shit.

I did nigger and loved it

2025 Chrono Trigger

It looks painfully average

Doesn't work on windows 10 ltsc 2019, missing a directx 12 feature

Steam says I've played for 106 minutes and all I've done is watch a very long cinematic with fake gameplay of me walking on a straight line inbetween scenes. There were like 4 fights which are just like Paper Mario's but with lots of particles and whacky shit

go fight simon

he just deletes the team

Yeah, nah I'm good. Don't think I'm going to bother with this one.

I think we all need to come together and agree not to make SFM porn of Maelle. She is underaged, and basically your sister.

Homer would be a terrible writer, he's a dumbass, i don't even know why he's allowed to work at a nuclear plant.

don’t drag chadlennials into this, we disavow this slop

i tried it but it was boring, it isn't a jrpg or turn based at all. lots of copy-pasted assets and mindless parry combat. recycle binned it after a few hours.

Same reason why I haven't watched Game of Thrones yet; I don't base what I do on what others are doing. Although I will say, I didn't realize until recently that show was the catalyst for some of the most annoying fucking actors in the modern day getting shoved into the cultural zeitgeist.

generation that killed everything

chad

fpbp

JR piggies seething because a white man is now king of their genre.

No, that was Gen Y, a separate entity from the faggot millenials that were propped up by their rich boomer parents and pushed retarded progressive shit into every industry,

meanwhile watches shit tranime like frieren instead of anime of the year shows like solo leveling

Quin69 shits on it

the what now?

Why is it that french only know one joke and it's le baguette honhonhon

those suck balls though

Twintail white hair looks great too

french, the colony of arab BVLLs

I don't buy new video games but as a francophile I'm getting increasingly excited about this game
1. I love France and I spend about 40-60 minutes a day reading French literature in French
2. I love France and merely thinking about France is enough to make me excited
3. I love Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

who and why cant you think for yourself

reading French literature in French

good, now get the blackpill

I've only read the first 2 pages and I know I need to get around to reading him, I'm surprised he's such a popular author to normies in France
I love Houellebecq even though Les Particules élémentaires was surprisingly difficult to read

not playing this year's mk ultra game, sorry.

Houellebecq is more normie tier, I even know an arab girl who reads him.
Celine... not really but even leftoids can't deny his prose

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_cent_livres_du_siècle
I mean you can see Céline here
Or is it just slightly outdated now?

1999

it's almost 30 years old and people were more cultured back then

I hate the french

You only play terrible ones.

just finished xenoblade 3, don't wanna play the same game again

Feels bad man
Idk why the French have so readily abandoned their cultural heritage, I thought you guys were the exception
Makes me think of this line

Évidemment, toutes les filles étaient à genoux devant ce babouin; et moi qui essayais de leur faire étudier Mallarmé, ça n’avait aucun sens. C’est comme ça que devait finir la civilisation occidentale, me disais-je avec amertume: se prosterner à nouveau devant les grosses bites, tel le babouin hamadryas

The motherfucking board has been unusable due to the E33 marketing.

you haven't been around for very long, have you?

Houellebecq is so fucking based sometimes

Nobody talks about the gameplay so I have no idea what this is or what its about or why it's even popular
Also my craptop probably can't run it

mario jrpg for normalfags

These games aren't even kind of similar besides the flameclock being remotely analogous to the gommage, if you have brain damage

is it turn based?

Because I look like this and lack the reading comprehension in English to understand the story. I also have a GTX 970 with a 2500k and can't run the game.

yes but with parry slop

the shilling is out of control

le first post

le best post

I'm just not really interested in turn based combat enough to want to play it.

Im not a buttwrestling faggot is why, I dont play faggot games

I already beat it

Playing some ludokino that's why

warehouse wagie stuck in his cagie

Put it in the Ignored list once the shillspam got annoying.
Also, I don't like the visual design.

I finished FF16 last month and I'm downloading E33 right now. It better blow me away.

I am; I finished it one hour ago, replaying the final fight twice to watch both endings.

Most active Expedition 33 thread on Anon Babble is nothing but people shitting on the game

It's pretty interesting how Anon Babble and I have completely opposite tastes when it comes to games.

It's half assing everything good about persona/atlus games

see game

doesn't look like it's for me

ignore it

come here randomly one day

shilled to shit everyone loves it GOTY YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT

Dodged a bullet with pure intuition.

everything good about persona/atlus games

such as?

ignore it

See, this is where it gets impossible, you have to play it and tell everyone you enjoy it so you're part of the new phenomenon

It's actually the opposite everyone here loves it you are the majority. You have the same tastes retard-kun.

The persona 5 confidant system is present way later in e33 and it's so poorly thought out lol it's embarrassing. This game takes 10 concepts from a bunch of other games but half asses them, it's not even revolutionizing anything

shift + click

wow so hard

Lazyness
And I have a backlog of other games

it's not even revolutionizing anything

and why does it need to?

out of sight out of mind is the low IQ motto sure, do you also just close your ears when you hear a woman speaking?

fpbp

when you hear a woman speaking

where do you think you are newfaggot?

I played it for a couple of hours, it was an indie jank game more or less within my expectations with some dumbass decisions made with parrying in turnbased combat. I could have seen myself pushing through and finishing it if the shill campaign had never existed

why are you bumping the thread?

its ugly and woke

It's neither of those, you jizz-gargler.

I'm not paying full price for any game.

I have lots of rpgs to play and I'm cheap.

shattered steampunk world with floating rocks and runes everywhere

yeah no sorry

how the hell am i supposed to know what game you are talking about

I pirated it, and played for maybe 30 minutes. Only had two basic tutorial combats, didn't really feel it. And uninstalled.
Maybe I'll give it a real chance at some point, but probably not.

Based

Why is the one schizo samefagging nonstop? Does he think we can't tell?

I've been fully spoiled on the plot because of how many unmarked spoilers I've seen on social media and it seems to be a very plot driven game.

the art direction remind of me of rata sum

Why is this such a ridiculous comparison to you?

I don't operate on FOMO.

Also, I'm old enough and experienced enough that I'm no longer easily impressed.

You're beyond retarded if you think it's copying the confidant system. It's just optional dialogue to learn more about the characters.
Unlike Atlus, which forces you to spend time with characters just to unlock basic functions. Oh, you want XP share? Better spend hours with he least interesting character ever conceived.

fortunately, you're the minority who fail to recognize its greatness. With nearly 3x the reviews, making it the highest-rated game of all time.

Anime lost. It's time to grow up.

My PC is a bit too old. Maybe I'll check it out later if it gets a Switch 2 port

Trust me man, that won't be the case with this one. Seen so many people that were jaded and thought they would never love a new video game again say this has become their new greatest game of all time.

Main character is an ugly dork because the ugly dork director self-inserted and thus forces everyone playing to take part in his narcissistic ugly dork fantasy. Nu God of War has the same issue

It's actually too confusing for Japs.
Look at the Famitsu review.
You also have the most fanatical Nintendo and Final Fantasy fans shitting on it.

melodramatic little bitch story about family drama or some shit instead of anything masculine and cool like killing god

annoying shills who shit up the board for no particular reason

why should I?

It's not melodramatic at all. The writing is top notch all throughout. And trust me, this is a game where the parry adds to the game more than it takes away. I was worried that it would supersede the strategy elements but that's thankfully not the case at all.

it looks ugly and I don't play 4 nigs in a row

It lost me at act 3, but I'm really bad at dropping games near the end

Im torrenting it right this moment

Good news it’s only 3 nigs

Parryslop ruins what could have been a great turn based game. At least it has top tier waifus

i am waiting for it to go on sale
i usually at least get things at a 40% sale, but this i think ill settle for a 25% sale since it is reasonably priced to start with
