It's bullshit how biased against this game mainstream journos were.
It's AA and a new IP so it lost like 5 points on average but then all the journos got egg on their face after it received the recognition it deserved from actual gamers.

Fact: Nobody gives a shit about journos in 2025.

Fact: Nobody gives a shit about expedition 33 in 2025

I'm a user and I'd give it an 8/10. I don't leave reviews though so just know that the user score should be lower but some of us are too lazy.

87-93 is like a sweet spot for reviews

I'm a user and I'd give it an 3/10. I don't leave reviews though so just know that the user score should be lower but some of us are too lazy.

you're complaining about journos being biased against something with a 93 metacritic?

>>713072270
People salivate over the Geoff awards though and they're voted on by them. I've seen posts here and elsewhere insinuate that what journos think doesn't matter but TGAs' GOTY award does like it isn't voted on by the all of same people they claim not to care about the opinions of.

I gave it 3 out of 5 stars on the xbox app because while the OST and world design is really nice the rest is just way below the standards of the genre if you ever played a single jrpg in your life.

All of those criticism against E33 as a RPG sound hollow given how /v/ loves Neptunia.

Falcom will be chugging along producing run-of-the-mill JRPGs 15-20 years from now and milking their dedicated paypigs, whereas Sandfall's next title is almost guaranteed to fall short of expectations.

The lifecycle of a Tendie.

>>713082496

It's a runaway success. I haven't been playing any JRPG's for quite some time because they are bland and simply lost their way/spirit. They are soulless corporate products, not great experiences.

Clair Obscur has strong game mechanics, great story, excellent animation, art direction and a superb soundtrack. They also proved going your own way and great execution brings great success, even as an unknown studio. Others will learn from it and hopefully will try to match it. If they manage to to do that, we will get more good/great games.

E33 is a pretty good example of lightning in the bottle. Way too many crazy coincidences had to come together in order for this game to blow up like it did. You're being overly naive if you think its success model is easily replicable, and there's a non-negligible chance Sandfall's next title won't deliver on the same scale.

>>713083107

Every game is judged on its own merit and we will see what will happen in the future indeed. Regardless, a game such as Clair Obscur existing and proving a success is positive and gives me hope.

>>713083107
The success model is literally make a good jrpg with a good story without annoying characters with a good soundtrack

that's all it is, there's no lightning in a bottle, the lack of some marketing analysis making a game is what made it great

what did you expect
many of the drooling dumbos in the gaming press do not represent the genuine interest of gamers
in fact they have done many things in the past decade to spite us and rot gaming as a whole
their reach is falling apart since people are beginning to seek elsewhere for their gaming news and info

>>713083273
>make a good jrpg with a good story without annoying characters
It did noen of that? Have you ever played a jrpg? Even pokemon has more battle depth and difficulty and character writing. Hell even modern Paper Mario with onyl oads has more variety in NPCs than this massmarketed nepobaby game.

Take one of these out of the picture and it crumbles. Sandfall devs' individual skills aside, let's not pretend they didn't get extremely lucky in more ways than one.

It is absolutely crazy to think a journalist could ever have a different opinion than you.
It doesn't matter how many of my friends, and coworkers, tell me to play this game. It has been recommended to me 50 times. I totally don't care, because it does not look like something I want to play. I didn't care for Persona 5. I absolutely do not care about some "gut wrenching story". I dropped Stellar Blade as soon as it tried to be sad and shit.
I'd rather play Dwarf Fortress or Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time, or actual FUN games.
I'm sure some journalists were falling asleep playing this artsy fartsy crap. This kind of game is nails on a chalkboard for me.
I didn't ever pick up God of War(modern) or The Last of Us, no matter how acclaimed they are. I don't give a shit about this kind of movie game. I don't really even watch TV or movies any more because at 35, I've seen all these stories 100 times. WOW SOME WITCH IS KILLING EVERYONE AND WE NEED TO STOP IT. EPIC.
I bet there are scenes where the party has to make some tough decision. I be someone sacrifices themselves at some point. EPIC FTW.
And the entire thing is shot in uncanny valley.

Try sitting a WW2 vet in front of a video game with a sad story and expect them to feel anything.
People who have actually suffered think this shit is retarded.
It's like when your friend is complaining about their issues as a homeowner. The shithead doesn't even realize they own a fucking house. They look like a moron to someone still renting, or living with their parents.
Perspective.

WOW YOUR ARTSY FARTSY FAVORITE GAME ISN'T FOR EVERYONE.

>>713082180
I mean, Zelda is a more original and better game than E33. E33 is fantastic up until about the halfway point where the balance and story falls completely apart

>>713072160 (OP)
I could entertain the idea that the game is one of the best of all time, but the fact that i keep seeing stupid shit like "this is the most fun ive had in 20 years" or "this is the best game in 20 years" just kills the entire argument
No dude, there has been tons of other great games as well. Exp33 is not really up that high. You are just overrating this game to hell and back and theres a lot of criticisms

>Still renting

Same. Journos mean shit to me. I also haven't preordered or even bought anything within a month or release in the past decade except for Dwarf Fortress. Patience is great because you know you're not buying a piece of shit. I also avoid more and more AAA studios nowadays, like EA and Activision Blizzard.
