When does the combat get good? So far it is just an extremely repetitive and boring menu simulator. Not to mention that attacks don't even connect. The player characters just pull off a fancy dance, while swinging their weapons in front of the enemy. LOL

Does anyone else get second hand embarrassment just seeing these videos pop up on youtube? Why do fans of these games need these random faggots to validate their tastes?

Yeah, it's lazy design, and it will be rewarded with a GOTY nomination. There are just too many simpletons with low standards out there.

It's not even just games. There's a whole grift industry of "retired producers" and all sorts of music related professionals just reacting to music from all sorts of sources. The fact that it's gotten so big means there's a huge amount of people who are consuming this and just never catch up to the grift.

That's kind of what baffles me. I consider myself pretty retarded but this shit has been so transparent to me day 1. Why can't all these people see it?

Do you understand that these are faces made for children? This is announcing to the world you watch Teletubbies. This is such a punchable face trait. A regression of humankind. You purposely looked up gameplay and found this? What is wrong with you, you're watching a let's play aren't you?

>What am I supposed to see here?
I'm the guy who originally made it, and I have no idea why he keeps reposting it.
I made it to show how I killed Sprong in Act2. Then he latched onto it and kept reposting it, thinking he makes the game look terrible by doing so and I don't get him.

>>714768196
I think I know what's going on. I think part of what makes the whole grift work is that by its' very nature the people it attracts are sorry mfers seeking validation, so I'm guessing what's happening is that they don't actually have a viewer base as much as each video has a separate group of viewers corresponding to the people who already like the track they are reacting to. So very few people actually watch more than one or a couple of these and it never dawns on them that they do the same exact thing for every track they listen to and it's just all a show.

It's actually probably a similar thing to what I believe is happening to the growing epidemic of react personalities in the gaming sphere making a video about whatever is the new popular game as "this game changed my life" or something along those lines.

>>714766654 (OP)
Why didn't you post your own screenshot when making this thread? It would make more sense and would be even faster because you're of course playing the game right now.

I only listen if the commentator knows what he/she's talking about.
If you're just here to say "wow, the violin is so niiiice" instead of a professionnal analysis "Here's the staccato rythm goes 4-5-6-7 and now 4-6-8, that's a technique used to..." then shut the fuck up. I want to learn new things to appreciate it further and compare to other pieces, to see which had the most effort put in. Dont just rephrase what I can already hear. Fuck the grifters.
Telltale sign of a good one : they can replay whatever part they just listened to, just to point out what's peculiar.

>>714766654 (OP)
The game is shilled by obsessed faggots and cultists. Every single review is just confirmation bias for people who like it and patting themselves on the back. The only negative or mixed reviews of this game are flooded by angry trannies. I hate this game so much. If you don't worship the game, /v/ermin call you brown? Does this look like a white person game? Fuck no.

>When does combat gets good
It doesn't, it's a JRPG after all. You play this game mainly for it's aesthetic (which is good) and story (which is debatable)

(bighead ue assetflip slop)

>>714766654 (OP)
Some of the later characters like tarot card bitch, stance girl and the blue mage have somewhat interesting gameplay if you try to optimize them.
That is pointless however because counters from parrying do way more damage than most of your nuke skills and require zero prep or build up that it's probably faster to just skip your turn so the enemy attacks sooner so you can parry them more.

>>714773187
>You play this game mainly for it's aesthetic
I guess it's not for me then, because I dislike the aesthetics of this game.

It's just a generic UE5 game mixed with generic Jarpig stuff minus the stigma of actually being a Japanese RPG.

If you criticize the combat you need to provide evidence of Simon defeated in hard without one shot mechanics. Otherwise opinion invalid.

No buts, faggot. You said "literally everything", which means if there exists 1 (one) game that isn't popular for a few weeks, you are wrong and/or lying and/or retarded, most likely all three.

This is why nobody takes you corpo shills who attack E33 seriously. You have literally 0 ammo to attack it, so you just lie.

You saying this like i'm incorrect
I finished it yesterday and it was alright, i enjoyed it. Really pretty candy for the eyes but nothing exceptional. JRPG combat is not great by it self even with all the different rules that they added to each character, which boils down to " Do some gimmick bullshit to buff yourself so you could do more damage". And parrying very quickly became tedious just because of sheer amount of it you have to do every fight

lol jeets have a problem with good french gamds

Except I did, nigger supreme. In fact most of the optional bosses are damn near parry only.
Pictos to boost counter damage are extremely cheap and overpowered compared to all the rest.

>>714787535
Not him, but if counters did more damage than skills, then you must've not get very far in the game.

post yfw you started to parry everything instead of dodging

>>714766654 (OP)
it never does, you just get re-introduced to new enemies that you have to learn the parry timing for and that's it, until you get way too fucking OP and everything is almost a one shot anyway. Will never finish this game kek

So is this game actually good? Or is the gaming media only hyping it up because its a statement to the industry in a time where budgets for games are unsustainable or some stupid reason that then fueled normies to play it.
It was ultra shilled here as well, almost like the devs were hanging around /v/ for a while.

Just the powerful normie attraction gives it so many red flags.

It's a modest game of modest scope made by a reasonably sized studio that has few to no useless diversity hires in it.
It's mostly just an above average game however it possesses a very strong aesthetic and identity.
A decade ago it'd probably have done okay and have been remembered as a cult classic. However the state of the industry is so fucking dogshit lately that people (reddit) are heralding it as the second coming of christ.

>>714782978
But why would pajeets hate this game that much to have a constant antishill compaign on /v/?

>>714789614
If you're asking in good faith and actually want to know, then stop being retarded and go look at Steam reviews. there it's confirmed their authors played the game.
When you ask here, you get replies like the ones you got: one guy talking about the Chinese for god knows what reason, since the game is made by a French studio; and two guys who pretend to have played the game and instead of telling you that it's "shit" because it would make it too obvious that they're just shitting on the game for some agenda (like, game is popular but not a Nintendo exclusive etc.), say it's "okay" or "average".
And I'm not telling you to look at the reviews on Steam and think "woah, 95%, that must mean it's 9.5/10". Just simply try reading the reviews.

>>714792723

>When does the combat get good?
It's about as compelling as the "4 niggas in a row" format possibly can be. If you don't like the genre, fair, but this is exactly what JRPG fans have been asking for and why it's the modern exemplar of the genre.

I'll say this, at least Expedition 33 is aware that its gameplay is mostly for spectacle. CRPGs almost invariably play like shit because they keep trying to force systems that were designed for expressive roleplay and world simulation into hardcore gameplay. Everyone else figured out that simulation/expressiveness requires some amount of casual leeway or else hardcore gameplay requires heavy abstraction, CRPGs keep trying to force the square peg in the round hole.

>says stupid shit that doesn’t make sense
These are the long term consequences of not beating your children.

SAAR, THE GOTY IS SHIT! DO THE NEEDFUL AND DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME! BLOODY BENCHOD!

yep, E33 is based and goty because it's fighting the woke. Just look at all the mad brown people in this thread that I definitely didn't imagine. If that doesn't prove that E33 is a one-in-a-lifetime game, then I don't know what will.

>>714796479
every thread on /v/ is imagining a brown person or a girl with blue hair and getting mad at them, anon.

I do think E33 is a really good game, but I think people have really rushed too much into calling it a GOTYAY.

The game is like a solid 8, maybe a 9 if you really like the classic JRPG format, but it’s not a perfect game, nor is it particularly groundbreaking. It’s basically just Nier Automata and PS1-era Final Fantasy put in a blender with some Soulsborne stuff sprinkled in.

>>714797323
It doesn't need to be "perfect" to be 10/10, otherwise the number of 10/10 games would be 0.
And to me it is a 10/10. As a fan of JRPGs, yes, though I absolutely don't think it's "the best JRPG ever made" or that it "beats the Japanese at their own game" or anything like that.
In fact, when someone says something is the best, for me it's only a sign they're a normalfag in that area. I played way too many video games to be able to choose one, especially when they're so different it's impossible to compare them.
