why is there a sudden hate campaign about this inoffensive game?

It's actually good

Really similar to a certain silver haired junky

Because just like Hollow Knight fags back in 2016, you faggots couldn't simply be happy that you got a good game and instead spent months going EVERY OTHER GAME RELEASED THIS DECADE IS TOTAL DOGSHIT COMPARED TO THIS, WHY CAN'T EVERY GAME BE THIS AMAZING OMFGGGG and you got on people's nerves.

"Inoffensive Game:"
> French Nepobaby/Chinese Lead Writer/Chinese Money From Netease.
> Constant Chang and Jeet anti-japan shilling using EXP33 as an example on how to make "JRPG right."
> Literally just copy/paste Persona/Metaphor combat and add parryslop to it in QTE type of way.
> Add sex scenes with 3DPD looking adult women.
> Remove "Quirky Japanese Humor" which isn't even there its just added post-translation or as "Localization" work by trannies.
> Brag about having an original idea when its just; mental illness bad hon-hon-hon, escapism bad hon-hon-hon.
> Muh Gnostic big bad keeping people trapped in fake/real pocket dimension, you have to kill God to beat the game.
How is this talented when its just literal slop/hack of tropes from JRPGs and just made miles worse?
Its pretty offensive and used as a shitbait takes to bait fans of JRPGs while spitting in their face. Don't care about some western made J-RPG-Lite when it doesn't even understand the source material.

It's a shit game with bad design, Japs are right. If you're going to make a JRPG it shouldn't contain parry slop.

Maybe invest in HP+DEF so you can tank hits when stunned. Or maybe look at the fucking skill tree and look for a skill that cures fucking stun
OR MAYBE drop the difficulty down to journalist mode you turbo nigger

Never have I seen a more dishonest shilling campaign than for this game. This game is bad, there is no gameplay. It’s a 3-nigga turnbased jrpg with the worst balance I have ever seen.

>>715991272
It's mostly tendies and pajeets.
Also 80% of anti-E33 posts before release were from Farquaad but "he" seems to have disappeared now.

>>715992290

>>715992353
That's still a sex scene, JRPGs don't add any unless they are literal Ecchi or Eroge and you can tell. So you agree with everything else? Good you are the retard of the month.

We all did you fucking retard. The only people mentally ill enough to actually buy games in /v/ are tendies
Shame that you didn't even play the game and only watched your favorite streamer play it for you tho, you're not allowed to have free will after all you cuck

Weebs are upset that the frogs made a better JRPG than japs have made in 15 years. That's it.

>>715990598

This is listed as a negative LMAO
Never change, pedophiles.

>>715992534
He is probably just a faggot.
Farquaad has shitposted about E33 for months just because there was a cute girl in it.
At least 30% of this board are literal faggots (they literally suck dicks or take dicks inside their anus).

>>715992498
I did and it's fucking shit, boring retarded garbage with an awful story. Even Final Fantasy 16 is better than this.

>>715992534
JRPGs don't usually have sex scenes shoe-horned to sell and again: >>715992437
I don't mind if the character is an adult looking its just unnecessary to write a good story with relationships in JRPG format when you create a solid drama and tension.

You dropped the game before you had even unlocked a stun healing spell. Why the fuck are you judging the story after only watching 5% of it?

>Even Final Fantasy 16 is better than this.
You REALLY need to stop dropping games before you finish them. There's absolutely no way that anyone would ever say that considering how utter dogshit the game becomes after Bahamut's fight.

its all there is to it and its shit because of it and reminder this was in response to you bitching because someone said ff16 combat is better which objectively it is.

>>715989250 (OP)
It's a 7/10 game at best that is being put on a pedestal because of how bad modern gaming has become.

>>715992873
It's not parry slop, it's your typical turn based game. You complained about dying because you got stunned, but if you had played the game as a turn based game, then you would have cured the stun. But nope, you proceed to treat the game as a parryslop game and tried to parry when you couldn't parry

>>715992973
Sure, but please don't judge the game after only playing 10 minutes of it

You are literally retarded, sorry.
80 of posts from April and May were falseflag posts from tendies and squeenix jeets to make retards turn on the game because it was getting too much praise.

No, it's because the plot isn't explained at all until the end of the game.

I wasn't around when that came out but BG3 winning when it had crashes and shit disqualifies it from being best anything. Awards shouldn't be given to games that aren't finished.

Check Japanese reviews on Steam. Spoiler: Easily 95% positive.
They're still afraid of bigger western games (as opposed to indies, which they play a lot). Also, not on Switch. For these two reasons, not many people in Japan played it. But those who did, mostly liked it.

E33 is nothing like bg3. Bg3 is dogshit made by onions devs. The studio owner wears fucking chainmail. Crpgs are offensive wastes of time with zero compelling gameplay. E33 is a synthesis of well executed parts that sum up to a greater whole. Bg3 is a game bioware should be able to pump out once every other year. E33 is something that comes around once a decade.

I watched a japanese anime girl on youtube (Koyori) play it and she liked it and got emotional but the story does seem harder to follow with the JP subs, she was struggling at points. Kinda sloppy translation with just too much to read at once (then again, that might be the case for EN -> JP in general and why they tend to prefer dubs).

E33 has like 5 hours of cutscenes and 50 of gameplay at minimum so I doubt this is true

Just because a game looks great and has solid aesthetics doesn't mean it's a movie game. Kids these days say things like movie game, parryslop, soulless, cringe, walking simulator, etc but they don't know what any of these things mean

>>715995663
it's like 30 hours. 5 of which are pre rendered cuscenes, and another five are speech conversations. The battles are just menu scrolling and watching attack animation plus QTE.
Non-game

>>715995878
veetards call rdr2 a moviegame, but jizz all over E33. it's just stupid zoomers being desperate on the internet, it's so tiresome.

You can't say that without posting your playtime. Oh wait you can, but it's irrelevant.

>>715995878
It doesn't look great, if not for the aesthetics I would say it looks awful.

>>715995978
and what do you have to post? I bet you can't even name more than 10 games that aren't roblox, minecraft, csgo, fallguys and fortine. And now you think shilling for this mediocrity gives your character some integrity all the while helping the industry fill their greedy pockets with cash.

They just can´t allow a game with good story, characters, music, beautiful women and great combat win the GOTY. Not that they can do anything about it mind you.

Games like Expedition 33 or BG3 have set a new standard for expectations so no effort AAA games like DA veilguard and the like will no longer fly.

Are there any fun OP builds for Sciel to use in the postgame? I liked using her for Acts 2 and 3 but she’s fallen off in the post game since she requires set up to use effectively and Monoco and Maelle just nuke bosses with Joyaro and Stendhal respectively.

wow truly a game changing title.

>Argentinean
Well that explains a few things

>>715997887
But still higher than Nightreign and Stellar Blade which both released recently.

>>715997950
Like what?

>>715997971
Nightreign isn't being sold for peanuts which prolly helps with that

>>715990045
Outside of Elden Ring and Sekiro EX33 is quite literally one of the best games of the decade. It n sorry you like faggot slop anon but that’s not my problem.

>>715989250 (OP)
It's a shallow, mediocre game made for people who pretend to love JRPGs but really only play FF, Persona and Elden Ring but they hype it up like it's a masterpiece of RPG design. The fanbase is annoying. If they didn't talk about it like the second coming of Christ, people would just remember it as a decent "indie" game.

>see? I took a screenshot of a sales chart and your game is not top 3, this means the game is shit.

>>715993972
I don't know the names of tracks, but I liked the battle theme from the underwater area quite a lot.

>>715998020
It's funny how normies learned to not trust steam reviews immediately after this game came out and it was because of some unrelated chink shit

>>715998013
good goy

JRPGs are shit, except for some SMT games and maybe Romancing Saga. Rest is complete total trash.

>>715995764
>here's my anecdote
>n-n-no you can't have an anecdote too

I hate this shit game and the constant shilling. Steam reviews have been shown to no longer be trustworthy because of this and Wukong, basically just jeet/chink shills.

>>715989839

can you post it again, in english this time?

No one cares what someone who's played a handful of casual JRPGs thnks.

>>715989250 (OP)
i'm like 10 hours in and it's fine but kinda disappointing. combat is good but even on the hardest difficulty is getting way too easy since you can just dodge/parry everything. conceptually the story and worldbuilding is incredible but the dialogue is really awkward (and not in a fun campy jrpg way, more like it's trying to be 'realistic') and the plot isn't really going anywhere other than one interesting scene with mael
should i stick with it or is it not for me

Why am I so enamored by E33, bros?
I haven't played it in months and have no desire to, but I love reading, thinking, and discussing it.

>>715996812
BG3 has way too much faggy shit. I really appreciated in E33 how Verso & Monoco felt like good friends. Same can be said with Esquie. If This were BG3 shit Esquie would be some sex guru and Monoco would be licking Verso's feet.

>>715993221
FF16 has the most nigger tier story in jarpig history. Not only does EX33 clear 16 it clears most of SE catalog of the last 10 years.


Rope faggot

>>715998286
Yeah, that's some good stuff. The second one is actually what i was referring to. The composer of the soundtrack is fairly amateur, right? Dude did a solid job.

>>715998801
this reads like someone who never played the game

im playing it right now, i just unlocked the mount guy and am exploring the blocked off areas
i will say the music is fucking incredible, one of the best game soundtracks i've heard in a while so far

>>715998801
>>715999304
do you even like jrpgs in general or are you just forcing yourself to play it?

>>715998801
If you don't like it 10 hours in drop it.

>>715998932
>FF16 has the most nigger tier story in jarpig history
And it's still better than E33's

>>715998801
If you're used to jarpig wordy dialogues, then yeah I guess you will not like it much.
I don't know if it tries to be realistic but I think it managed to be, at least in main scenes. Like when characters talk over each other and stuff.
The director is a cinema nerd so there isn't that much dialogues and a lot being told with eyes or characters expressions also.

>>715999416
i love jrpgs, especially ones with over the top melodramatic stories so i had kinda high expectations going in, but it's just kinda okay so far

@715999461
LMAO 16 SHILL IN 2025 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>715999478
watch out they might call you a tendie or some other enemy they come up with

>>715999476
i feel like so far the cutscenes are stuck in a weird uncanny valley where they're trying to be realistic with the mocap and attempts at natural sounding conversations, but whoever's writing just isn't quite good enough with the dialogue so there's still some awkwardness that stands out even more when it's trying so hard to be cinematic/realistic
there was a scene that i liked, where the protag guy was remembering some traumatic shit that happened and another character kinda snapped them out of it

>>715989839
Japs mostly didn't play it cause it has no JP dub

>>715989250 (OP)
kys shill

as bad as FF16 story is it's much better than E33's you dumb jeet.

>>715990597
> >great story
/v/-tier "great", I assume.
> >great music
It's good, but it's just the default french movie soundtrack. Feels like nothing special, just a quality product, but that's just me, I have high standards.
> >great combat
LMAO. It's a brainless "press the button in the short time window" type of combat. With artificial difficulty added in the form of slow-motion delays before some attacks to make sure it's as hard as possible for you to guess the timing intuitively on the first try.
> >great visuals
Normal UE5 visuals. Maelle's model is uncanny and looks like a DAZ gobbo, but then again, maybe it's just me.
> >great voice acting
I tried to play it with french VO, but the subtitles were really bad, blended with bright background at times, so had to switch to english. It's alright so far, sounds like a good job.
> >all White and Asian cast
The number of blacks just chilling in the town in the prologue is surreal.

It's a solid game, but nothing special. It presents itself as a game a lot more expensive than it is, that's for sure, but that's mostly thanks to UE5.

>>715996812
Same.

>>715998519
And you might have a point if I wrote more than a single line to tell you that you're dumb.

>>715990045
Problem is that every game aside from Death Stranding and Deadeye deepfake are so offensively bad that Ex33 is automatically game of the year.
With 10th of crew (even counting QA control and team doggo) and tenth of cutscene time they created a decent game that while using mechanics that were used in other games makes something original with them and story that people still argue about.
Only bg3 is so good that contrarians still cry about it.

>>715996639
I've only ever used her as a buffer/debuffer/healer, she never seemed great at doing damage except on rare occasions where the stars align.

>>716000885
I agree, it's not that e33 is a god-tier super great game.
It's just a decent big enough game in a year of shit games.

>>716000885
>Deadeye deepfake
who

>>715996651

True, expedition is far better but still...

we really need flags on this board
every board

>>716001339
And unique IP counter back.

>>715989250 (OP)
Tendies have begun to realize that daddy nintendo isn't getting GOTY yet again

>>715989250 (OP)
Despite being a good game, it was outrageously overhyped for 2 months with hundreds of threads of people calling it the greatest game of all time. Its not surprising that generated some backlash

>>716001339
unironically what's holding them back? /sp/ has it and it has far more shitposting

When did the fucking snoytroons become more tolerable to be atound than nintendo fans?

>>715997034

Have you beaten the first act yet?

Absolutely sick of all the indians praising this slop

>>715989250 (OP)
I loved it. Though I really didn't like the last ten minutes.

>>716001446
>>716001493
Because it's easier to see when it's just 1-3 faggots posting garbage 20+ times each. I still don't understand why they got rid of the IP counter. Maybe because they wanted to make it easier for the approved shills/shitposters to derail problematic threads or to create fake consensus

>>715989250 (OP)
It was spammed enough to mindbreak contrarians into hating it forever.
>hurr tendies
>hurr pajeets
>hurr chinks
stop making up enemies in your head, it all comes from contrarians

>>715989250 (OP)
Because you shilled it every day for a month and the game is absolutely mid

>>715989250 (OP)
/v/ hates everything that is made by white people. That what happens when pajeets get to internet.

>>716002272
I'm pretty sure that white people are a minority on 4chan these days, at least on the most popular boards.

>>716002272
this, but unironically

>>716001931
Not even a contrarian really. I liked the game but it was just massively overpraised, it felt like the more people misrepresented the game the more I thought about how bad all the flaws were. I'd still recommend it if someone asked but I doubt it'd make my top 50 games list, maybe not even top 100.

There's a lot of browns on /v/.

>>715989250 (OP)
It's a threat to big vidya

>verso has a statue
>maelle wants to leave lumiere because she feels like she feels like she doesn't belong
>verso shows up to rescue maelle from the shore
There's a lot of foreshadowing in the prologue

I wonder how many people screaming "MUH BROWN" even played the game and how many are just shilling to push along some /pol/fag agenda of "le based white devs"

>>716002802
I played it and loved it, fantastic game. Fun to play, great music, great story, and absolutely beautiful. My only complaint is that the difficulty is all over the place towards the very end of the game, either you just stomp the enemies or they stomp you. I still never beat some of the superbosses because they're just nuts, but it's still cool that they're an option if you want to do that. I think the hardest one I killed was that titan thing in the water.

>>715989250 (OP)
I want this game to lose Geoff's shill awards because the disgruntled Final Fantasy boomers backing this purely as part of a culture war with Square Enix deserve to burn in hell for eternity.

>>715992127
It's a good game.
They lefties would have sucked it off if it weren't for the use of AI in background texts and some translations because of rewrites and time-constraints.
"WHY COULDNT YOU JUST RE-HIRE THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE TRANSLATION?! THEY DESERVE MONEY TOO!"
Leftiest are the ones who will feel the burn the most when AI takes over their comfy e-mail jobs-and I will be there laughing at them.

Its not. Its a run of the mill turn based rpg

>>715989250 (OP)
because it showed up the major publishers. they should have added microtransaction, dlc and pre-order early access. publishers want it buried or people will start expecting the same from them

Donkey Kong is GOTY. Seethe.

I didn’t play this game but watching game journos screech because it wasn’t made by a studio staffed with 3,000 useless diversity hires has been more entertaining that most videa from the last few years. Solid 8/10 already, might play it some day

>>715990045
Thats the sole existence of this fucking board. all you niggers do that. thats what you do. this is /v/.

>>715989250 (OP)
Because /v/ as a hivemind only enjoys the hipster mentality of enjoying things that are not popular. It's been this way forever. E33 got very popular everywhere so it needs to be hated now. Those are the rules.

>>716003619
Culture war my ass. You know damn well there hasn't been a good FF in over 20 years. Square used to release multiple good games on a yearly basis and now they can't even recycle their own games without fucking up.

>>715989250 (OP)
it's just contrarian retards being retarded.

Snoys

>>715989250 (OP)
An attempt to make its inevitable coronation as GOTY "controversial" somehow. Some people really fucking hate it when things are too obvious, they prefer comeback stories and upsets. Because being a contrarian faggot is super cool. These types of dipshits would cheer if the sun didn't rise just because the reliable night-day cycle has had it too good for too long, even if it meant they'd burn/freeze to death

>>715990598
You never played a single video game in the last 20 years nigger, that or you are 12 so you never played a game in your life.
Get ouf of this board as soon as possible.

i liked the very start of the game but after gustave dies and the gameplay solves itself before the end of act 1 it falls off. i tried it day 1 because i thought it would be a good fake jrpg but after i one shot the final boss it really soured me on what i thought was already a mediocre game retroactively.
