The great debate

What's the debate? Which one is the most overrated slop?

Metaphor was GOTY 2024
Expedition will be GOTY 2025 barring something unexpected.
FF7 Rebirth is a very good game that had some sections that should've been cut and some of the open world bloat should've been trimmed and if that happened, it would've given Metaphor a run for its money last year.
I have never played a Xenoblade game.

lolno

"something unexpected" in this case being one of those August/September releases that look weird but promising (Hell is Us, Lost Soul Aside, Cronos, Silent Hill f) actually over-delivering on their potential. or. possibly, Ghost of Yotei ends up being the evolution of what Tsushima was and is even better, or at least to those who don't have culture war brainrot because /v/ still thinks its the late 2010s.

That was Sony's Super Robot Galaxy.

Haven’t played any of them

1) Expedition 33 - Perfect story, engaging gameplay.
2) FF7 Rebirth - Subpar story, engaging gameplay.
3) Metaphor Refantazio - Subpar story, outdated repetitive gameplay.

(Not gonna rate Xenoblade Chronicles X because that was released in 2015)

E33 of course

There's no debate, E33 is the evolution of JRPGs.

I only care about Alicia's game

Rebirth >> Metaphor >>> Xenoblade >>>>>>>>>>>>>> FRPG

I'll answer the debate right now:
Yes.
Also there isn't a debate.

how is it an evolution if the main thing it has going for it is just taking the good things from past jrpgs and boxing it in a modern package? Thats not evolution or even innovation. Adding sekiro parry and Elden ring delayed attacks into fights isnt evolution either, it's just an extra mechanic to add another point of player interactivity. What did it evolve?

It is HER turn at the game awards!

>taking the good things from past jrpgs and boxing it in a modern package
Also it's not a cringy jrpg, so that helps

Mogged in every way by a real JRPG

>>717308280 (OP)
Only one of them is getting a sequel in the next 2 years.

>>717308280 (OP)
Debate about what? They're nothing alike. Are you just fishing for (saar)s tonight?

>>717308280 (OP)
Games for people who hate competent gameplay

How is metaphor?
I've never done an atlus before
