>yep you've been in a Mario 64 painting the whole time actually hope you didn't care about anything
WOOOOOAAAAHHHHH BEST GAME EVERRRR
I MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN THESE CHARACTERS THIS GAME WANTS ME TO SUDDENLY CARE ABOUT AT THE LAST QUARTER OF THE GAME AND HAD NONE OF MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN ANY SATISFYING MANNER BUT WOOOOAAAAHHHHHHHHH
I can't believe anyone gassed this shit up, what a lazy fucking story, it's unironically the "I can't think of any answers to my mystery box so I'll just say it was all a dream" shit but everyone thinks it's fine here for some reason

It's fine that you are too dumb to be the target audience, but go seethe on reddit we're trying to purge troons and jeets here.

>>714326660
Then you should be purging the target audience of this game

WOOOOOW SUCH GENIUS WRITING

>the mindbroken nintendojeet keeps shitting himself

>>714325854 (OP)
It's a fucking M. Night Shymalan plot twist, but with a French "art" filter, so suddenly retards think it's actually intelligent. E33 really shows how pretentious so many people online are. They don't like things that are good, they like things that they believe make them seem more sophisticated, because they give a shit about what other retards online think. It's all a fashion statement.

Retard. What makes it so well-written isn't some stupid twist, but the ways it explores how grief has affected one family.

>>714328016
I didn't even know that family existed until the last 3 hours of the 30 hour game why the fuck should I care about their stupid fucking family lmao

>>714328112
because muh grief and muh depression

>>714327505
By the time you reach the "underwater" area the nature of the setting is pretty clear. Americans are dumb

>>714328195
>every surrealist world could just be attributed to being a dream actually
Retard take of the highest order

>>714327505
It was telling the same story the entire time; it's a story of grief.

Unironic babybrain, go play your bing bing wahoo

>>714327727
The story isn't even hard to grasp. It's not as if you could really interpret what's going on in multiple ways like Elden Ring or something.

>>714328298
>it's a story of grief
And it's poorly-told, shifting awkwardly from one plot point to the next with no setup until it trips and mashes its face into the keyboard at the finale and says it was the intended end result it was very smart okay trust me bro

fuck you, I loved it
enjoy unemplyment american dev

>>714328016
I couldn't even make it past the first cutscene. really bad. turned off the video and added it to ignore list in steam

>>714327805
based and very true

don't even try to convince me to give it yet another chance. I've already given it plenty of chances. every time I go and check out the game on YouTube it is full of shit. it is family guy it insists upon itself incarnate

Are you fucking serious

>>714328112
Did you not play the game. The family is brought up at every important plot beat throughout the entire game

>>714325854 (OP)
You're genuinely retarded if you didn't see this coming. How could you not tell that the girl in the mask looked the fucking same as Maelle? How did you not notice that Verso and Renoir as the same scar as Verso? What about the masked girl saying "Those who know not that they are not?"

I knew the second I saw Renoir and the masked girl that he was Maelle's father (especially with the masked girl's obsession with him) and either it was a time loop game or there was going to be a twist like she was a recreation of the masked girl but not horribly burned. Turns out I was right, I just didn't know the whole painting thing. If you did not see something like this coming you genuinely did not pay any attention. You can criticize it if you want, but don't say "Suddenly" "In the last quarter" "I can't think of any answers"

It was set up from the fucking beginning.

>>714329890
The family is brought up only when you wake up as the disfigured girl at the tail end of the game
Before that it was just Renoir vaguely shouting shit about family like he's Vin fucking Diesel

I'm french anc can't stand french nepotism in media, and french mainstream media is nothing but nepo babies,they're descendants of decadent aristocrats who turned agains tthe monarchy during the revolution (and have bneen secretely running the industrial complex since),and filthy jews imported from tunisia and eastern europe

>>714329949
I thought Renoir looked more like Gustave than anyone else but that part didn't actually turn out to be anything
The second they killed Gustave I figured all bets were off and that French people just happen to all look alike

>>714330027
Thanks for confirming you didn't pay attention

The family literally doesn’t exist for the first chunk of the game then get outed as a bunch of mentally ill narcs. Who cares about them? Way to make P5R look like high art.

>>714330215
I think Gustave looks like Simon, IIRC? Because Gustave's GF (I forget her name) looks like Clea, so I think that Gustave and is GF were based on those two. Gustave is also missing the same arm that Simon is.

>>714330215
>>714329949
Wait actually they're just fucking clones of one another lmao
How are you going to sit here and tell me that lookalikes hint towards anything when the biggest two lookalikes don't have anything to do with one another

>>714330217
So you're saying the only way to understand the story was to come up with headcanon theories and hope they were somewhat close to what gets revealed at the end of act 2?

>>714325854 (OP)
I'm so glad I only use this place to steal memes instead of actually listening to anyone's opinions on video games.

>>714325854 (OP)
It's literally the only game story that rivals actual novels. Its the greatest story ever told for the medium that it transcends itself

>>714330027
the family is brought in the first seconds of the game.
Renoir is in the words of the opening song if you want to be super anal about it.
All of the black and white cut scenes in the first act are about the family.
All the clues are from the beginig that it's about the family.
You just have to finish the game to know that because that's how the story is told.
Are you mad that you are too retarded to know that Bruce Willis was dead all along and the movie didn't have any clues?

>>714330685
>the family is brought in the first seconds of the game
No it's not
>Renoir is in the words of the opening song if you want to be super anal about it
Nope, the song is singing about Gustave and the bending of the eiffel tower
>All of the black and white cut scenes in the first act are about the family
Woah dude some stupid fucking vague French arthouse isms from the cutscenes are definitely good indicators of how nothing that you're seeing matters at all
I understand now, it's all metacommentary on how French arthouse creators are saying nothing of value, it's genius actually, I kneel

>>714330685
The game also literally stops in act 2 to talk about the familial relationship between father and son

>>714330685
Oh wait I found the lyric I think you're shitting from your mouth about
>Les toits à ce Renoir / Griffera
This translates to
>The rooftops, like a Renoir painting, will be etched
Renoir is a famous historical French painter, drawing clues from this would be deemed schizophrenic

>>714331373
Trying to isolate one painted reference from the many the game bombards you with is schizophrenic

>>714331373
>Renoir is a famous historical French PAINTER
the game is about a painting
>drawing clues from this would be deemed schizophrenic
do you read and think about you are posting?
of course no one would think anything about it on their first playthrough but the clues are there from the begining

>>714331774
>this comes out of nowhere and is a very jarring and frankly bad reveal because there wasn't sufficient enough backing for it to feel natural
>yeah bro but what about these vague references that only make sense on repeat playthroughs that are also in french
Do YOU think before posting?

>>714326660
>It's fine that I am so dumb to be in the target audience

>good makes the universe
yep, it's projecting AND retarded

>>714328016
>how grief has affected one family.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAY

>>714331983
do YOU want to know what the story is about from the begining or do you want the story to be revealed to you as you are experiencing it?
Do YOU want to be hand held every step of the way or do YOU want to immerse yourself in the world?
Think about it before YOU turn 10 years old and get circumsised

>>714332398
Gay is not having procreated, in other words (You)

>>714330685
Pointing out that there are clues doesn't help the fact that fundamentally some people just have a problem with this type of storytelling

>>714332596
Some people can't clear tutorial levels. We don't listen to such people

>>714333019
the majority of western stories aren't told like this including books and movies, where vague information is given that forces you to formulate a shot in the dark theory and live with it until the wider picture is told to you at some later point. Its valid criticism

>>714325854 (OP)
Mon dieu, quel chimpout!

>>714326660
>target audience
you mean normalfags, women, and redditors?

>>714333745
>western stories aren't told like this where vague information is given until the wider picture is told to you at some later point
I think this kind of storry telling is a western invention and it's relatively new.

>>714334182
yeah and there's a reason why no ones done it because its ass

>>714334305
neah. It's the best kind of story telling when done right. It;s very hard to do and i can't think of any example right now, but I know that it happened some time and it was very satisfing.

>>714334182
don't respond to the retard who can't follow storytelling

>>714326660
Plebbit and normies love this game thoughever

>>714327957
>shit characters

There is no better character than Verso.

Did anyone else think Gustave was going to come back in the third act?

>>714339998
>BlueSky

This dude is gay as fuck

>>714339998
Verso is great. But not because of anything some gay zoomer video essayist says.

>>714325854 (OP)
>>yep you've been in a Mario 64 painting the whole time actually hope you didn't care about anything

Annnd /v/ missed the point and nuance of the story. The "Mature" rating ain't for nothin' kiddo; play it again in 10 years.

>I'M A STUPID FUCKING RETARD WHO SUCKS 100000000 COCKS A DAY
Yeah we get it OP, no need to broadcast it

>>714325854 (OP)
why do you never actually play games but still post here?

anyone know how to destroy these

>>714340325
Yes, but only because the reserve party didn't have a third member to round it out and half his skill tree was still locked when he died.
Then, Maelle didn't resurrect him, and I was disappointed they expected me to have 2 characters in the reserve party without being able to switch out characters in battle.
My only gripe with the battle system, actually. I don't even mind that it devolves into parryslop.

Whether or not you like the twist, the dislogue and character writing are consistently excellent start to finish. No other RPGs reaches it there. But they're unassailable so you attack the twist ignoring all of the build up leading to it. GOTY is in the bag.

>>714330613

no other game comes close
