Thread 720070097

why did they do him so dirty?

>>720070097 (OP)
eurasian so he decided his suffering was merited and allowed it.

>>720070097 (OP)
He had to get out of the way for Verso's harem to be born.

>>720070219
one of them is his not sister tho

>>720070279
Yeah, she's not part of it.

>>720070097 (OP)
Why is it so hard to find large oval frames for glasses

>>720070097 (OP)
He one-shot P Renoir. He would've been way too powerful.

>>720070097 (OP)
I liked his kit more than Verso. I hate it when games do that.

Verso knew his carefully planned scheming and deceitful emotional manipulation would not have worked if this chad was still in the team.

>>720071010
Literally how, he has almost no moves and Verso's style gimmick is extremely similar to Charge except more useful in every single way

>>720070097 (OP)
That is what happens to nice guys like him, meanwhile the self-centred Verso gets laid left and right

>>720070097 (OP)
If he lived he actually might have sided with verso and that would really fuck up the maelle ending

>>720070097 (OP)
because protagonist switches are a god damn fucking kino trope

>>720070527
"White-haired Man" has a maximum of 8,477,079,000 HP during that fight (Expert, NG+5), so Gustave's final Overcharge dealt more damage than any other attack in E33

>>720071010
Impossible. Gustave's kit is literally unfinished, and revolves around just marking targets and hitting things with his charge arm. He's objectively the most boring and one-dimensional character to play.

>>720071402
If he lived he would have seen right through Verso's treachery and either forced Verso to kill them, or beat Verso's ass and locked him up somewhere since expedition 33 was by far the strongest.

>>720071532
It's so fucking funny because the strongest attack in-game is when Simon enters his third phase which also uses red lightning. Did Gustave and his apprentices find out the canvas cheat codes?

Because he only exists to help characterize Alicia's pathological need for a big brother.

>>720070373
Is it even a harem if it's just 2 girls?

>>720071010
Verso with dualiso basically lets you do whatever the fuck you want. For most of the game it was hard to have anyone replace him unless you really just wanted to try others but you can't really compete with a character who does 3-5 freeaims, 2 attacks and then a 9 ap move. It only gets replacable in act 3 where you get the option of multiple skill moves instead of base attack

>>720071780
The shit Verso is lying about is impossible to see through. Maybe he'd be on his case about the whole "Forgot to tell you Renoir is my dad, teehee!" thing, but nothing suggests he'd drill deeper on the Paintress stuff. He's dismissive when Sophie mentions the Paintress looking sad in the prologue, and he's angry about the Paintress shrine in Stone Wave Cliffs. IMO he'd go along with Verso the entire time without pushing him too hard.

>>720071780
Gustave would do anything to save maelle and would sacrifice everyone and himself to send her home once he knew the truth

>>720070097 (OP)
Oh, the glasses...fucking cringe. Did he ask to have his character wear them? Did he want his daredevil persona in the game like some faggy cash grab meme like "omg I get that reference xD" type shit?

>>720071835
The lumina converter does basically break the rules of the world wide open. It gives painted creations the power to capture chroma and overpower painters. Sure they still need Maelle's painter power to deal the killing blow, but Gustave's technology and Lune's magic (which is like a reverse engineered painting process) are crazy.

>>720072134
Odd conclusion to make considering he himself says he doesn't know if he could make that decision.

>>720072102
It depends on if Old Lumiere would've gone down the same way with him using Maelle as bait. Him doing that could lead to growing suspicion. I think the most interesting aspect of him surviving is if Verso will try to put a wedge between him and Maelle.

>>720072102
Guillaume went to a private catholic school yet wrote this degenerate atheist line,

>>720072275
>Gustave and Lune probably could have eventually discovered a way to break out of the canvas entirely
>Verso decided to let Gustave die so he could have his pity party instead

>>720072256
it's just a mod, retard

>>720072102
He is far smarter than anyone else in Lumiere, I think he would figure it out. Even when he is just making guesses about things, he is more right than he knows, e.g. "We should be on the same side" to Renoir

Simon vs Renoir will be the final boss of the Expedition 0 DLC

>>720072390
He was going to kill himself just because he thought she died. Basically confirming he didn't really care about anyone else but her

>>720072682
I hope not. I'm sick of prequel DLCs that don't change anything about the story.

>>720072256
holy fuck kill yourself retard
the mood is high quality so shut the fuck up

>>720070097 (OP)
Muh quirky twist.

>>720072654
>Takes 16-year-old on a guaranteed suicide mission nobody has returned from in 40+ years
>Immediately has her safety compromise the mission and wants to go home
>"He is far smarter than anyone else in Lumiere"

He would've stood no chance against Verso's 100+ years of experience.

>>720072582
Yeah he's a piece of shit. He just wanted to guarantee they'd have no choice, but to destroy the painting. If it wasn't for him looking miserable for 30 seconds at the end no one would defend him.

Did he fuck Maelle?

>>720073628
Maybe the game did a bad job of making me care about the lumarians but I basically always saw him in the right. Only downside is he had to sacrifice the gestrals and esquie but I suppose an artist has a right to the destruction of their own work

>>720071394
But Gustave got to fuck Lune too

>>720073159
there's multiple scenes where gustave is trying to talk her out of coming but it's literally not his choice, you didn't even play the first hour of this game

>>720071780
Nah, Gustave gladly trusted the spooky ghoul with no face because he helped out Maelle and he would have fucking loved Verso because he was part of the OG expedition and personally knew other ones as well.

>>720070097 (OP)
I think it would have been better if they kept him alive and made the final fight Gustave vs Alicia.
>Verso is kept as an import side character
>we see the unfolding of the secret from the POV of a painted person
>the decision to end the canvas coming from Gustave would have a lot more impact

>>720075740
It isn't his own work since he isn't the real Verso. The real Verso doesn't want things to be erased.

>>720071957
don't forget big spoon

>>720072582
My guy, he made one cool thing and everyone thinks he's going to break the laws of reality.

I noticed that there are tards, though it was outside of /v/ (surprisingly), that thought expedition 98 would have been full of 97-year-olds and expedition 81 was full of nothing but 80-year-olds and so on. People can be really fucking stupid. Even us whites.

>>720070097 (OP)
I never used Verso, or gustav, the trio of chicks is where is at, Sciel is broken

>>720075652
Most unrealistic part of the game is that she never had an initial schoolgirl crush on him and daddyzoned him right away.

>>720077460
IF there's literally anything I've learned about women over the course of my life it's that the "Daddyzone" is the most fertile ground for fucking.

>>720077560
Yeah, but this is a PG-13 dadddyzone so no lewd thoughts allowed.

>>720077260
Anyway expeditions started Year 84 because it took 16 years to notice they were being erased

>>720077453
She was great during the damage cap but she fell off in act 3.

This guy raped me with 2x HP and 999k damage limit challenge.
The second phase is just brutal.

>>720078929
Weakest Clea simp

I actually like that they killed him if only for the reason that SOMEONE didn't have plot armor

Also Sciel number one, Lune agrees. Pictured: Lune helping Sciel start the campfire.

>>720073159
>Tries to talk her out of it repeatedly
>She is seemingly killed and this brings him to the brink of suicide
>Finds out she's alive and immediately decides he's grabbing her and getting the fuck out
>b-b-b-but the mission
>"Fuck the mission!"

>>720079779
What the fuck, Sciel has a husband cmon >:C

>>720070097 (OP)
the real answer is they couldn't afford Charlie Cox for more than a few lines but that painted nails faggotron Ben Starr said sign me the fuck up

>>720080370
Yeah she could have had he husband teach her how to start a fire, how rude

>>720070527
Don't you fight P Renoir as Verso and the gang later?

>>720080432
Squeenix really wanted Ben Starr to be some kind of new VA celeb, they pimped him more than they pimped their own character and game

>>720070097 (OP)
To teach you not to trust Verso.

>>720080432
It's also the reason why painted Renoir gets killed before the paintress fight. They couldn't afford Andy Serkis anymore.

>>720080697
Yeah, but Gustave one-shots him during his death scene. Renoir's even shocked by it because he stumbles backwards.

>>720080697
well yeah he's immortal

>>720082591
Landing a single good hit isn't "One shotting", we know what happens when he's brought to the actual brink.

>>720080370
Of course I know him, he's me
