White gaming is back.

>>713816086 (OP)
It was always based. Only troons hate it because it it kills all minorities except Asians.

I love Expedition 33 threads because of how incredibly obvious it is that the "people" who show up to them to try and shit on the game are brown thirdies
E33 is legitimately a game for whites

>>713816302

You're not wrong. It seems to be exclusively browns who can't stand it.

>>713816086 (OP)
You will never be white, baguette tranny

>>713816414
Whiter than you'll ever be, mutt.

Could (You) satisfy a Size Queen like Lune?

Any time I see someone shitting on this game or even falseflagging as a "7/10 painfully average game idg the hype" I just assume it's some brown nigger or tranny seething there's no deislop in 2025s GOTY.

Who's gonna tell him?

>>713816086 (OP)
I shelled shekels for the cosmetics DLC and the soundtrack. The soundtrack can be found in two clicks, it's just a hidden donation to the devs. This is the first time it happens to me. I make fun of gacha gooners buying those but it's deserved here.

The story behind the dev team is an uplifting story of taking a chance and finding success. That's another reason the retards are angry. Anybody remotely successful must be torn down in the eyes of the brown/brown sympathizer.

How is everyone coping since finishing the game?

i

Good game overall but parryslop doesn't belong in a turn based game. I know all hit runs are supposedly possible but it seems like have to go WAY out of your way to make it viable.

>>713817312
Yeah many anon works for Sandfall. If only they also had a billionaire father...

>>713817270
>male lead optional female protagonist
Having a woman doesn't make your story DEI by default especially if they're white.

>>713817527
I don't know, I made it work and it was nice to play. Skill issue?

>>713817617
>optional

Does anything from the rest of the year have any chance of getting as much praise as Expedition 33?

>>713817715
Considering I 100%d the game I think I know better than you.

>>713817617
you ignored other greentext

>>713817718
MGfags and journalists will glaze up MGS3 remake. Snoys and journalists will love Ghost of Yotei. Tendies and journalists will love DK. I think its only really going to come down between E33 and Death Stranding 2.

>>713817619
I haven't tried it, it just seems like you can't casually make it work without hard focusing it because even with 99 defense my Maelle still got bodied if I missed a single parry

redditroons and journalist love E33

>>713817718
Maybe if Outer Worlds 2 is nothing like the first game and more like Tim Cain's good games but that's highly unlikely

>>713817527
Agreed E33 has a great story, soundtrack, character designs but the combat is ass how it's solely focused on parry and dodge it should have been a secondary thing not a primary thing. That and the dark souls bouts to rest flags is ass and having estus flask healing system is ass the are is cool like the legend of dragoon but the parry dodge system sucks it should have visual cues like vagrant story with its risk breaker chain combos if they did all that the game would be a 10/10 as of now I give it a 8.5/10 because it's combat just sucks

>>713818513
*The qte is cool like the legend of dragon*

>>713818614
*Dragoon* jesus auto correct

>>713816086 (OP)
e33 is good because it isn't white

>>713817610
Yeah? Because family money is totally usable in the context of business and not a illegal at all? Look into corporate finance before you open your slut-mouth.

>>713816139

If I dare say, they're also wh*te.

>>713818513
Can you or anyone here tell me what exactly makes this story a 10/10 because I’m just not seeing it
>cause it has no anime tropes
That’s not enough for me. I need something interesting. I need you to tell me what exact part of the story makes it the masterpiece so many claim it is

>>713807625
Feels like if you don't like the Dessendre's twist the story falls apart. Act 1 is absolute odyssey in a dreamland kino, but it begins immediately tumbling off a cliff afterwards into contrived family drama and tries to make everything you've done feel utterly pointless, which would be cool if the family crap was more interesting than the world it'd established up to that point was.
>that's le point! it's escapism don't you see?xD
Don't care.

>>713818513
Holy fuck esl, if you are going to copy and paste this garbage post across multiple threads at least edit it to convey a coherent thought.

No because it's original.

White people are gamers.

>>713819760
I'm a ridiculously jaded anon so take what I have to day with a grain of salt. I don't watch /tv/ and media writing in general usually repulses me. Nothing about E33's story really stood out for me, but it didn't annoy me which is more than I can say for most media I end up consuming. It understands pacing and the story takes a backseat to letting you play the game. It treats the characters as natives to their universe, they won't turn to the camera and explain in universe terminology to you because the game expects the audience to be intelligent enough to use context clues. That's a low bar, but a high bar in the gaming world.

The real heavy lifters are sound design, presentation, music, and the VAs. The VA performances are way more impressive than the story they are attached to. That's one of my big axes to grind with /tv/; so much of media is audio manipulation or visual representation. Writing is almost irrelevant in the true perception of why people enjoy media and yet it is discussed as if it were the pinnacle because people lack the cogitation and ability to express how the elements that act on the subconscious layer contributed to their perception.

Tldr it's best quality is that it isn't bad. Which is actually quite an accomplishment and rare feat in media in general. That base level competence paired with excellent ancillary presentation elements leads to sum of its parts that is miles above its competition.

Also Esquie is probably the best written mascot character I've encountered in fiction.

>>713819834
>it begins immediately tumbling off a cliff afterwards into contrived family drama and tries to make everything you've done feel utterly pointless
Yeah all the ending arguments focus hard on the humanity of the lumierians but within the narrative that's not even a factor. It's purely a choice between letting Maelle kill herself to live in VR world or letting Verso kill himself because he wants to die. The fact that everything in the painting lives or dies is an unimportant side effect the way it's presented.

why do we hate this game again?

>>713821075
It not being complete shit isn’t enough to make it 10/10 for me but I can see why really good voice acting would make the general audience love it so much

>>713821692
Mostly brown hands.

>>713821075
>It treats the characters as natives to their universe, they won't turn to the camera and explain in universe terminology to you
Yeah I really liked how the characters talked to eachother like actual people. So many RPG character interactions are just the character lore dumping about their race/class/backstory, and then when they run out of lore their relationship is maxed out and they want to fuck you.

>>713816086 (OP)
I think the story is not good. also turn based 4 niggas in a row = cringe. I don't begrudge others for enjoying it tho. just not my cuppa tea

>>713822064

>>713822097
my hands are darker than that actually

>Another day of thirdie chimpouts over E33
Are there going to be mass suicides when it wins GOTY or what?

What if E33's success leads to more devs adding spunky teenage redhead girls to their games?

>>713822731
>red head turns into a grandma at the end of the game

>>713822731
I dare not dream of a future so bright.

I liked this game until everyone started praising it. then I started thinking it's overrated and stopped being able to like it

3 niggas in a row bros fucking won

>>713821871
I liked how nearly every bit of dialogue shows the world they grew up in. Most titles just take modern people and slap them into a fantasy world. This actually takes the time to think "what would their philosophy be on the gommage, what would they think about having children, how would they feel if death became so certain and planned but a loved one dies from a brick falling on them" they took time to think about the world and put believable characters that live within that world.

>>713817012
now how many of them were involved in the game?

>>713822557
We know.

5 mil announcement when? It has at least sold 2.5mil on steam

>>713816086 (OP)
How did this bland and unimpressive parryslop game even get so much recognition anyway? Soundtrack?

>>713823148
Yes, increased popularity = negative quality. That's how art works.

>>713824552
it's just kino. simple as.

>>713824552

Really makes you think about the state of modern gaming when seeing current day slop compared to this game

>>713824950
eh you changed your narrative from billionaire to millionaire, that's a good start.

>>713824817
creativity is not encouraged by suits and good writers gravitate toward other mediums

>>713824817
I didn't say that, it's not just gaming. I can't think of any media across any medium in the last 40 years that is good. Good writing is incredibly rare.

>>713825234
ironically 4chan is mostly brown which is why this type of shilling is effective

>>713824950
Assuming there would be no stakes with such a safety net, they still took a chance in terms of effort when they could have just half assed it with a guaranteed fallback.

>Sandjeet runs out of China gibs to fund their jeet shilling
>Threads immediately die out
Why did he do it?

>>713825061
And it's crazy that, if you didn't get it through Game Pass, you could buy it for pretty much half of the price of some modern games.
But, like the other anon said, if I were you, I'd leave and didn't enter E33 threads until I reached Act III. Then, you will no longer need to worry about spoilers.

>>713825360
>white man took risks, created companies and invested to give a better future to his white children
and this is bad because?

>>713819760
There have been several attempts at mixing artificial worlds in a non-trivial way into a story. The last time it was done competently in vidya was Final Fantasy X, 24 years ago, and the manner of bringing it in Clair Obscur is still much better thanks to pacing it better and making you care about the creatures. It ties up with the creative theme which avoid the "escapism bad" which would have been the hack treatment that any other vidya would have taken.

>>713825564
>white man took risks
A rich family involved in venture capital and investment firms isn't exactly risky

>>713820446
Anon, I....

>>713825986
are those base models?

>>713819834
I’ve seen so many people proclaim that the story is about escapism
It’s not and the game repeatedly tells you this right down to the final boss.
The painted world is real, the people there aren’t npcs. Maelle as a conscious entity outdoes Alicia when her memories converge. She sees herself as Maelle, her personality is Maelles, she cares more about her life as Maelle.
It’s not about her “escaping” to a fake world with a fake personality. She has spent the last 16 years living as Maelle, and doesn’t really care for her prior life as Alicia.
If you all of a sudden had a realisation that you had a life “outside” of this one, would you care? What about your friends, your family, everything you care about? Would you kill them all just to go back to a life you barely remember?

>>713826226
If she "barely" remembers her past life and is primarily Maelle in act 3, why is she so infatuated with Verso?

>>713825564
Anons on /v/ are schizophrenics.

Maelle wanted to fuck Gustave.
Alicia wants to fuck not-Verso.

>>713826728
verso is quite hot, lets be honest

>>713826728
Primarily is the keyword there.
It’s not like she wants her brother dead. But she clearly sees herself as a child of lumiere. It’s not like Aline who’s known from the start it was a painted world and wanted to go just to see Verso again.
Maelle as a person was born and raised in Lumiere, all her family and friends live there. She also now has this other family she just found out about.

This is the worst game I've fallen for the shilling for since Baldur's Gate 3. Boring story, cringe dialogue, glorified QTE combat, only positive I can really think of is the soundtrack.

>>713819760
I like how it combines a family drama with fairy tale elements and surrealism. It’s very PS1-era FF-esque, except it’s filtered through more late 19th-early 20th century European aesthetics.

Also, it absolutely DOES have anime tropes. Gustave’s sacrifice at the end of Act 1 for example, plays out in the most anime-esque fashion imaginable.

>>713825058
That guy has, like ,less than even 10 minutes of screentime before dying
