How did Expedition 33 become a mainstream hit in the West?

>>712626118 (OP)
all of those are from reddit innit?

>>712626118 (OP)
JRPGs are eternal, these fags just couldn't take them in an anime skin. E33 gave them what they needed.

because it's very good

>>712626118 (OP)
Because it's a good game with good presentation and didn't cost $100.
>for those who come after
Funny thing to get a tattoo of, especially when the latter half of the game just completely shits on the message and ends with you killing those who were supposed to come after

>>712626118 (OP)
I only ever really hear russians talk about it.

Massive inorganic shilling. It'll be all forgotten about in less than a year though.

good voice acting, some really great characters, many banger songs, unique design/feel to it, nice overall story with interesting ideas and themes

overall I rate it a very good experience that I do not regret buying and I hope their next game will be just as interesting/10

Most of these bastards never even played the game. I beat it and aint getting a tattoo.

>>712626118 (OP)
The game is good, not amazing, but the average normalfag westerner knows jack shit about jrpgs so they genuinely think it's the greatest turn based rpg ever made.
The game having really good presentation and fantastic soundtrack also helps.

>>712626464
It's really not that long of a game if you aren't playing on hard. You're like more than half way when you get esquie

>>712627415
degrading your body to stick your penis inside a wet hole is more dumb than to just do it for shits and giggles

Coolest JRPG since Final Fantasy X

That said, that entire genre is still gay, whether it's from Japan or some other country like france. That shit sucks.

Why can't people like a thing without branding themselves with logos and shit? It's a great game, but still ultimately a consumer product. You really gonna want that shit on your skin the rest of your life? Just buy a fucking shirt or something.

>>712627704
It doesn't matter, I'm a dude. If you're a dude you can be as scarred and fucked up as you want. It's only when you're a chick that being pristine skin is valued.

>>712628148
if youre a dumb nigger who hates reading and minmaxxing stats yeah it sucks
good thing im white and can enjoy games that let me experiment
black people on the other hand can only enjoy shootie shootie and fighting games that are all about mashing buttons and clicking fast
small brain nigtivities

>>712628220
Nope, messed up skin is unattractive, take care of yourself.

I judge people with game/band/sport club/existing anime tattoos. It ain't far off from tattooing a company logo and also tells me you're kinda shallow (very judgemental but its also from my personal experience with people with these kind of tattoos)

>>712626907
>best soundtrack of the past 20 years
Nah.
I mean it's good, and it shits on Undertales but being better than a Toby Fox soundtrack is like... minimum for being a good soundtrack. I mean SOTC is just turning 20 and it's better than E33.

Right about everything else though.

sure are a lot of 33s lately

i would test myself for STDs considering you had sex with a woman that finds tatoos attractive

i hope its nothing serious

the only good part of this game was the theme song and even that was copied from amelie

>>712628284
You probably met one person like that and decided everyone vaguely similar was like that. Thereby pushing everyone into playing the roles you assigned to them.

Just my personal experience with people who say thi g's like "Oh all people with X arbitrary trait behave this way."

Jrpg for xenophobes

Which is ok because japan are an island of pedos

>>712628421
That's why I wrote from my experience. I met tons of people esp with sport clubs tattoos and had band mates with band tattoos en masse. Obviously I'm generalising but I will always judge people for this, it's commercialising your body and being a walking billboard (again, in my opinion). I hope you enjoy your game tattoo.

>>712628376

I actually don't have any tattoos aside from a smiley face in the crack of my ass. I'd post it but blue board and if I censored the hole it would just be a smiley face.
I'm just pointing out that you're posting like a fucking 14 year old edgy kid. "Oooh these people are superficial" Yeah, and?

I refused to play the game because I don't trust a company that thinks pushing out a game with hair looking like it does in E33 is acceptable. The ungodly amounts of shilling really sealed the deal for me not ever touching it.

>>712626118 (OP)
Why do people get video game tattoos?
I don't get why people get tattoos in the first place, especially if they are ultimately insignificant. Getting a big samurai on your back or a snake on your face doesn't look cool it, it makes you look dumb, especially the former since no one will see it 99% of the time.
I can get something like a cultural heritage tribe tattoo, or something like a motto from your military company thay you don't want your demented 99 year old ass forgetting, but getting a warp pipe down your butt crack with a sinking mario is dumb.

>>712630730
Your thing you started breaks down when you imagine/acknowledge a lot of that stuff comes from branding and marking criminals and not cool stuff like snake of the hidden village tribe whatever.

>>712630572
this game was shilled as "just a bunch of lads with talent making an indie game that rivals AAA! see? all you need is talent, passion and a dream and you can do it too!", turns out it's not like that

>>712630572
It's literally one schizo. The game's development is extremely well documented and we know who funded it by name and year, it was two French angels.

>>712631132
No one thought that, they thought you don't need 100s of millions of dollars for over 1000+ employees and marketing to make a good game.
Which is true

>>712631132
>just a bunch of lads with talent making an indie game that rivals AAA! see? all you need is talent, passion and a dream and you can do it too
But that's literally true. Everyone working on the game, from writers, to musicians, to animators, is a junior without any game experience who was recruited online. Only some voice actors and port staff from Kepler are veterans.

>>712627415

>tarnish/damage yourself for women

I bet you will gladly circumcise your son because you believe that Jewish idea that women like mutilated penises better, cuck.

thank god those are all just satanists because imagine getting a fotm tat'd pfttttttt

>>712631132
The word 'indie' doesn't appear in any of the game's official advertising.

>>712631361
More teams and small should scout out unknown composers from Soundcloud and Bandcamp for their projects.

Idc what some retard on 4chan says, if you want to take every comment on this site as gospel go ahead.

>>712632294
It speaks volumes that they never bothered to clarify when reaping all the glory of being le small indie studio that produced a genre redefining gem. Its only just recently been started talking by journalists that they infact employed hundreds of contract workers.

>>712632294
>hey people said this
>"nobody said that, you liar!"
>here's proof
>"well I don't care what idiots say!"
you're completely retarded

>>712632434
Honestly why do you care? Assume the worst case scenario and they cynically acted in bad faith to portray themselves as the underdog that came from nothing to create a masterpiece. The end result is still we got a great game. As a gamer, I care about GAMES. I don't give two shits about what industry politicking and drama was involved along the way.

>>712632207
But it literally is true you fucking retard.
Look at the credits, it's all juniors.

>>712626179
it's also not 200 hour long
>>712629223
The J(apanese) in JRPG really confuses you.
JRPG are a set of game mechanics that differ from the other turn based RPGs, and it was popularized by Japanese games.
If you ever watch

>>712632434
yet hilariously they spoke up the second they were accused of doing a heccin racism by a few randos
really makes you think

>>712626118 (OP)
I thought the game was amazing and easy GOTY material, but I wouldn't go out and get a tattoo of it. I don't understand people like this. That is a commitment you made right there.

Mental illness

>>712632918
The game isn't that good

>>712632918
It sets an unrealistic expectation for devs. Do you think CEOs care of e33 was made with contract workers? No. They'll say if that studio did it with 32 members, that's as big as my team needs to be. Then "cut off the fat". It'll lead to shittier quality games at a higher cost. It is infact bad for the industry. The fact you can't see that says a lot.

>>712632918

>>712633187
>most of the team were former ubisoft devs
Two people?
>enough dosh to land andy serkis as a principal voice actor
He barely appears in the game, it's just a high impact character. And they didn't hire him during development, Kepler got him way later for promotional reasons.
>industry connections deep enough to get a movie in production before the game even came out
"in production"
Kepler grabs movie rights for every game they publish, it means nothing. Just like that Sifu movie that is totally coming out.

>>712633187
How much money do you think Serkis would take not to act or do mocap, but just record some lines at a studio for two afternoons?

>>712626179
jrpg = dq/ff clone
if the game follows a set predefined characters with little player agency means it is a jrpg.

>>712633856
and to do marketing for the game??
