The OST alone could carry it

Maelle alone could carry it

Nobody here played it, they either just
1. Watched their favorite youtuber Asmongold play it
2. Masturbated to porn of it so they call themselves fans now

Ah, my favourite "people who liked a game exaggerate by calling it the best thing ever made, while people who didn't play it shit on it" thread.
It's 10/10 and easily GOTY so far, but I'm not wasting my time explaining why.

I love turn based games so much. It was really fun trying out different builds and party compositions.

it's not riddled with far left activist propoganda, and it's a turn based rpg

Good morning sar.

>>715822353
I watched some Asian guy play it.

The passion and the skill behind the development.

>>715822353
I watched moist critical's playthrough until he made the busted maelle build. Quit watching cause it got boring watching him one shot everything.

>>715822150 (OP)
I still haven't continued it after the ... introduction of Verso. Still hurts.

>>715822353
I watched a YouTube video with the cutscenes and some plot points were embarrassingly bad.

>>715822524
why did I need to fight this guy again?

>>715822353
I played it blind before I knew anything about it and I still think it's underrated. It's the best RPG ever made, easily. It's not even close.

>>715822651
bro played only the weakest part of the game

>>715822404
>I'm not wasting my time explaining why
If you cannot back up your opinion with opinions or arguments then your opinion is worthless. Arguably an admission of being wrong even.

haven't played the game yet but masturbated to the characters like a dozen times

Do people really believe this.
The game released yesterday and is already forgotten. Only Death Stranding 2 has a slight chance and that's just because Dorito pope is Kojimbo dickrider.

>>715822731
>RPG
In terms of roleplaying mechanics it's complete and pure garbage.

>>715822150 (OP)
Proper and refreshing use of exposition

>>715822150 (OP)
It's a game for people who pretend to like JRPGs and Japanese things, but don't actually like them. Same as Xenoblade 2, but this one doesn't have gachashit designs so normalfags like it more.

>>715822694
Cuz shit's kino

Replaying the game and I got emotional during the Renoir boss fight at the Monlith where he hits Verso with

Nintendo cannot win jackshit unless the game is really a big deal like BOTW. Donkey Kong seems good but no one but dunkey is gonna dickride it.

Silksong will win if it comes out this year. Discourse-wise it would destroy the muh small 400-people indie studio lie that the E33 shills have been peddling.

>>715822694
He wanted to destroy the world because his family is bad at dealing with grief.

>>715822914
DS2 was forgotten even quicker than Bonanza. E33 is the only game this year that has had any sort of cultural presence.

>>715823097
WHY ARE THEIR HEADS SO BIG?

>>715823154
I still see DS2 shit on Twitter. E33 meanwhile is non existent.

Pure kino. My favourite moment is when **Maelle summons the spirits of the fallen expeditions, the camera closes on her ** " and she says: Tomorrow comes.

Bought this yesterday and I'm getting filtered by the parry timing. Wind up animation takes forever. Doesn't help that I put many hours into Stellar Blade/DMC/MGR/Bayonetta... the timing way different.

>>715823246

Thats algorithm hijacking by paid jeets. You are just gonna get a few top results rather than see actual people talking about the game and sharing gameplay.

I have no idea, besides great graphics, excellent music and a story that was full of twists that you didn't see coming, but makes sense on a second playthrough.
It's not the best video game ever made, but It just was a great experince and I still think about it every now and then. Game of the decade for me.

>>715822762
Amazing gameplay, visuals, sound, art direction, presentation, story and characters then. Here you go.
When replying, don't forget to include a picture that proves you played the game, especially if you want to talk about gameplay and story, as you can have an opinion on the visuals and art, for example, without playing, to some extent at least.

>>715823462
Just keep coonsuming product bruh.

>>715823675
What's your favourite game and why?

>>715823629
Game of the Decade needs to be a trail blazer or representative of its time. E33 is neither.

Doubt.

DELET THIS!

>>715823780
>representative of its time
it needs to be shit?

How can it be GOTY of the year if I haven't played it?

>>715822353
But I preloaded it and played it the minute it was live.

>>715823731
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodliness. I really like the atmosphere and writing. I like how it tries to being both an immersive sim and a classic CRPG but it's a janky mess that's still super endearing nonetheless. I even like how it turns into a series of never ending action set pieces at the end.

>>715823850
>Doubt.

Now check how many people got the achievement in steam of completing anything past the intro.

>>715822150 (OP)
The beautiful art, the story, the dialogue, the animations during the dialogue, the music.

>>715823821
It's a Game Pass game, and PajeetSoft is desperate for a win right now.

>>715823780
it just made me have a good experience that I still think sometimes about months later. I don;t know if that it's traiblazing, but I haven't felt like that from a video game in what feels like ages. That's enough for me.

I've been in E33 threads ever since the announcement during the Xbox showcase in 2024.
I knew it would be GOTY the second they released their second trailer. The music, presentation, cinematography. You just knew it was going to be kin0.

>>715822150 (OP)
Dunno what that is but I doubt it's good enough to be goty. In fact I think there shouldn't be a goty, there hasn't been a single release this year that was any decent.

>>715822150 (OP)

It's cheap, has a satisfying gameplay loop, and features no minorities in the main cast.

>>715823645
>Amazing gameplay, story and characters
RUMAO
>visuals, sound, art direction, presentation
The art and presentation is good but a lot of it gets seriously fucked by the UE5 blurriness.
That's also not really an opinion, more like just mindless praise with no argumentation behind it.

Fucking pedos so predictable.

This is every video game for the past 5 years.

>>715823901
Maybe.

>>715824265
Lune is asian. Sciel is a bug

>>715824031
Over a third of people who purchased have beaten the game. Seems pretty high to me.

>>715822404
>people who didn't play it shit on it
Haven't played it yet but really hope it puts France on a gaming map again

jrpg fans have been begging for years for good writing, something the japanese extremely rarely can provide

>>715822150 (OP)
>what makes it game of the year?
Lune and her stinky feet.

>>715824405
>Seems pretty high to me.

Are you trolling? how is 30% of its buyers beating the game a good thing? That means 70% of the people who spent money on it dropped it, probably because of how boring it is or becuase they'd rather watch a youtuber play it.

>>715822404
>It's 10/10 and easily GOTY so far
Good, goyim. Consume the slop. Praise its generic story and overuse of the violin. And harass anyone who dares ask about the gameplay

>>715822404
>while people who didn't play it shit on it

Lol
If you don't play it, your opinion doesn't matter
If you play it, but drop it, your opinion doesn't matter
If you play it, finish it, your opinion ALSO doesn't matter because uhhh you finished it anyway so youcan't say it's bad!

You guys just have no arguments to defend the game so anyone shutting you down has to be dismissed, go back to covering your ears you pathetic loser. Maelle won't come out of the screen to have sex with an ugly incel like you, Maelle only fucks black men

There hasn't been a better game yet this year.
I was very impressed with it, especially after act 1.

genuinely the only good game to come out in the last 2 years. unfortunately it doesnt have elden ring in the title or kojima in the credits so theres no chance of GOTY

>>715824498
To be fair it's incredibly rare in video games at all to find decent writing. Some RPG's are alright but the dialogue is usually just huge blocks of exposition. Combining a good story with well written dialogue might be completely unheard of before e33.

>>715822150 (OP)
Barefoot hapas and hebes. Also Esquie.

Unironically.

>>715824498
Tbf, E33 does nothing JRPGs haven’t done before. I think it’s well liked because it takes all the classic tropes of JRPGs and plays them 100% straight but with a western aesthetic.

>>715824532
Check out any game with an achievement for beating it. It's always a surprisingly low number. Hell, only 22% of people even reached the basic ending of Hollow Knight.

>>715823129
>He wanted to destroy a painting because he didn't want his wife and daughter to die
Entirely reasonable. Glad to see more people are realizing Renoir and Verso were the heroes of the story over time.

Nothing. It's a "goty" for people who thought TLOU was the best shit ever.

>>715822731
you don't play many rpgs

>>715825001
>>715824951
E33 has zero overexposition and lets the player think without having to reiterate story beats

had the game been japanese the gommage alone would have had hundreds of extra lines on how it works

>>715824993
This is true.

>>715825034

Which shows majority of people who buy games don't even play them

>>715822150 (OP)
My love for France.

>>715824504
>stinky
She uses magic to keep her feet squeaky clean

>>715825278
your love of seeing france destroyed?
me too

>>715825216
Perhaps, but it says nothing about E33 in particular.

>>715822353
I played it at launch when 4chan was still down

>>715825392
>but it says nothing about E33 in particular.

If it's the best game ever why nobody botehred to finish it?

It deserves it by default that it's not a sequel or an existing IP.

>>715825139
>had the game been japanese the gommage alone would have had hundreds of extra lines on how it works
I loved the prologue for this reason, no expository dialogue, every character talks believably as if they were people that already knew each other and are familiar with the setting. Act 3 had issues but 1 is perfectly paced.

>>715825454
I finished it

>>715825139
The entire bridge between the end of Act 2 and into Act 3 is a massive exposition dump explaining the big twist though, so it’s not like E33 is above expository dialogue either. It very much follows the JRPG format of “adventure story with tons of earnest melodrama that gets gradually more convoluted with each new plot twist”.

It’s very in line with FFs VI, VII, VIII, IX and X in terms of its writing style.

>>715825216
Games like The Last of Us and Elden Ring have much higher completion rates than that.

>>715824315
Genshin Impact

Complete industry wide collapse

>>715825034
Hollow Knight is shit tho.

>implying that the most dynamic string instrument in existence can be overused

>>715826362
I beat the normal final boss but couldn't be arsed to do the rest. The main filter is how boring is to move around the map.
