Japan and France used to be friends

Japan used to make good games.

Death Stranding 2 deserved that 6

Makes sense to me.

Sounds about right for Ex33

DS2 is walking simulator: the sequel and E33 probably doesn't do stuff much differently than other jrpgs.

>>Home of JRPG judges game of the genre harshly
The same nigga rated rebirth a 9 or 10/10. You're not slick, little bro.

>>713543613 (OP)
expedition 33 was a 7/10 though. it was also extremely strange hearing people say the ugly female designs are 10/10 hotties.

>A Hideo Kojima Game in the cover
Kek why is this guy so fucking pretentious

>>713543986
Probably due to some heavy nostalgia for FF7.

there is definitely favoritism. Famitsu didn't rank e33 higher than almost any FF game which is crazy considering the trash squeenix have put out.

I wonder how Kojimbo is feeling given how much he sucks France's dick

>>713543986
Rebirth deserves a 9/10. So does E33.

>>713543613 (OP)
Both have become gay beyond recognition, so fuck 'em.

>>713543986
Yeah cuz it was made in Japan? That's the point the OP image is trying to make.

>>713543613 (OP)
Difference is one deserved the low rating the other didn't. The delivery simulator with a high budget deserved the 6. E33 deserves higher than a 7.

>>713543613 (OP)
based from the japs

E33 is a poor man's version of a JRPG. It imitates every JRPG trope without understanding what makes them work

>>713543829
I can't believe the Olympics were nearly one year ago

I'd rate ex33 a 7 as well.
If DS2 is anything like the first one, then that score could make sense.

Every single time. Stay on youtube where you belong.

>>713544536
You illiterate swine. Don't ever @ me again.

IGN Japan's review of E33 unironically does not count, the reviewer gave fucking Shenmue 3 a 9/10 and his GOTY was Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends Mobile

>>713544980
Those aren't exclusives to JRPGs, so they don't count

>>713543613 (OP)
it should've been 0 0 cuz i don't like jewrance and i also don't like jewjima

>>713545026
>story doesn't matter at all
Ok, so what's your excuse for the rest of the game being shit?

>>713543613 (OP)
kek

>>713545026
The gameplay is arguably even worse than the narrative elements of the game lmao

>>713545136
The rest of the game isn't shit. You can't even describe why you believe it's shit, which is why you had to complain about cutscenes. You're mad at an imaginary version of Rebirth that only exists in your head because you never played it and you're angry about cutscenes from Remake.

>>713545198
I tried to play it. I was incredibly bored a couple hours in and I hate when major plot points and causes for mystery or strife can be solved with a single conversation but the characters refuse to have it for no reason. "Cloud just made up some crazy stuff there, but I'm not going to ask what he means by this or explain what really happened.. why? just because ok" get that chink dick out of your mouth. Its not good.

>>713545387
Nepokino confirmed

Expedition is western fags skinwalking a jrpg.

>>713543613 (OP)
E33 is a 7/10, didn’t play DS2 so not sure about that

You can buy an IGN license and run the whole company by yourself, pretty sire that's what the IGN japan grifter did

>>713543829
peculiar

>>713543613 (OP)
well played

>>713545261
It's weightless spammy garbage that perpetuates the dogshit stagger mechanic from FFXIII and the atb system doesn't magically make it more interesting or remotely strategic

Mhm. This nigga lookin' ZESTY, this nigga lookin' MOIST, he's got sugar in his tank, he's light on his feet, he's a Ill bit fruity, he plays for the other team, he dances at the other end of the ballroom, this nigga theatrical, this nigga good with colors, this nigga gonna coordinate yo curtains wit you cushions and that shit gonna look good! This nigga lifts shirts, this nigga on the down low, this nigga be a tollet trader, this nigga gardens uphill, this nigga packs fudge, he's a friend of Dorothy, he feels the love that dare not speak Its name, he loves to dance, he's of the Uranian brotherhood, he indulges in the French vice, he has an antipathic sexual Instinct, he's fluent in Polari, he's a refugee from Sodom, he's on the wrong bus, he bats for the other team, he's temperamental, he's 'one of them' if you catch my drift.

>>713543613 (OP)
Those scores are perfect.
Style over substance... Using a desirable theme or design does not improve the quality of your game.

You will still spend 95% of your time walking a boring wasteland in DS2.
E33 has old timed hit gameplay and salted froglegs drama.

Both games rapidly fall off once you get past the novelty of the ''artist's vision''

>>713543613 (OP)
Do JPs even read IGN's JP branch? Don't they have much better, older, well known sources for their gaming news?
I wouldn't be surprised if the JP branch is full of self-hating hapas and western immigrants desu, which would make it no different from the western branch in terms of values.

"Cloud just made up some crazy stuff there, but I'm not going to ask what he means by this or explain what really happened.. why? just because ok"
Not only is this explained in the original game, it's explained in Rebirth. From Tifa's point of view Cloud shouldn't know ANY of that. But he does somehow. It makes Tifa doubt her own memory of events, especially because she has a childhood brain injury after falling off the bridge. You already know he was making things up so you must have played the original. How could you think she doesn't have a reason for not pressing him?

It's funny how people forgot the late 00s and early 10s when Japan released only flops.
Now they are just returning to form.

Frenchies hate Japan
t. European

>>713545978
Because any normal person would say "hey wait a minute, something's not adding up here" If you talk to people you'd understand these things.

>>713543829
What the fuck did I watch

Never fucking ever make fun of my JRPG cutscenes again.

>>713545389

Jesus dude

It's a gimmick battle. If you survive you instantly win.

>>713546418
If someone started talking about a day in your life that you're absolutely certain they weren't present for, but they described all events with complete clarity, that would give you pause. Especially if you have memory issues from childhood brain damage. And even more especially if you have codependency issues because the guy you're suspicious about is the only piece left of your old life. You're just a fucking idiot. Again, you obviously already played the original game because you already know Cloud's story isn't right, so how do you not already understand Tifa's situation? How fucking stupid are you?

>>713546507
>you can't complain about it because its 30 years old
Its stupid. I don't care how you want to defend it. Its pointless drama for no reason.

>>713546196
you are under levelled for that area of the game, pretty obvious.
also if you just dodge everything he dies.

Expedition 33 is a 7.5

>>713546309
>It's funny how people forgot the late 00s and early 10s when Japan released only flops.

>>713546661
>that would give you pause
Nope. Also stopped reading there. I'd start asking dude how did you know that stuff? You weren't there. Then they would say some things and I would say some things. You know, a conversation. Is she supposed to be scared of Cloud at this point in the game?

>>713546685
Your complaint is that she doesn't have a reason for not bringing up the discrepancies in his story, except she does have a reason and it was explained 30 years ago.
You also didn't say a single word about anything but cutscenes.

>>713543829
Frogs love them gay dancing niggers, it's the rest of the game that scored 0 points.

>>713543613 (OP)
French need to kill themselves immediately

>>713546808
>Is she supposed to be scared of Cloud at this point in the game?
Yes, she knows something isn't right with him because he was a mumbling psychotic mess when she found him at the train station. She's also scared of destroying the last remnant of her old life by pushing too hard. Plus in Rebirth she DOES try to confront him about it and he turns it around on her and acts like she's the liar because he thinks he saw her die.

>>713546826
>why are you talking about the story and cutscenes in a game with 14hrs of cutscenes
Gee it sure is a mystery. Couldn't imagine what the reason could be. Maybe you sucking some more chink cock will grant me the answer.

>>713543613 (OP)
Whats their reason for them giving it a 7? That shit supersedes all their jrpg trash and they know it.

>>713546993
>character starts muttering schizophrenic shit

>The faggot media for these games are trying to play nationalism with their games

Pathetic for both countries.

>7/10 is a bad score
So only 8-10 actually matter?

>>713547135
Tifa isn't a smart person, she's an extremely emotional woman who thought her entire childhood was burned away until she found her old friend babbling like a drug addict at the train station. She latches onto Cloud because he's the last part of Nibelheim left to her.

ign is lame and should not be taken seriously.

Both games suck (for different reasons)
