Thread 721097176

If this wins GOTY gaming is 100% dead and beyond saving and has become a medium solely for theater kids, redditors, and video essayists

Why do zoomers respect journos enough to care about their awards?

>>721097176 (OP)
No game with an openscore belo 93 should be GOTY.

Whats it like to be a contrarian?

>>721097176 (OP)
Hello Bananza sister.

why are you brown?

>>721097176 (OP)
Even if you ignore that it has the greatest written story in gaming it still has phenomenal exploration and the best JRPG style turn based combat. Genuinely the only flaw with the game is act 3 balance.

I dont see how I am. Last time I checked I play GAMES for the GAMEPLAY and not this movie game shit

>>721097176 (OP)
It has the gameplay and game design of a 2000's RPG.
And that's a good thing and deserves to be celebrated.

>>721097176 (OP)
You sound like a mouthbreathing retard.

>>721099717
Can you bother to do basic research before you shitpost?
You don't even need to play the game, but for fuck's sake at least watch one flipping video before you do.
Bait used to be believable.

This game would've gotten an 80-something on metacritic if it was made in Japan and had an anime art style.
Since it has western aesthetics, journos don't feel embarrassed liking it, so will praise it as something groundbreaking.

>The return to pristine $50 games

Oh no, how horrific~

>>721097176 (OP)
100% white skinned devs makes the game of their dreams and you think it should not get game of the year even though everybody loves it?

>made in Japan and had an anime art style
True. Moral of the story? Cut the anime aesthetic and cringe anime tropes, and deliver an actual game with a mature story and characters. Journos have every right to be embarrassed praising anime slop.

The game's OK, but this is a joke, right? The writing is passable, but
>act 1 tonal whiplash, constantly cutting between suicide and corpses, and gestrals being retarded
>the lazy, retarded, and massively overused "pick one of two endings" ending
>the gameplay having nothing to do with the story, it could have been conveyed in a non-game format without losing any meaning

>>721100118
The JRPG formula with less anime cringe is a good thing, actually

>>721100669
>backstory conveyed in audio logs
>after act 2 nobody matters except maelle or verso
>"play god with your dolls while committing suicide" vs. "return to the family that cares about you" is presented as a tough choice (granted, it probably is a difficult one for french people)

>>721100118
Yeah no shit, anime JRPG slop is even worse at least this game isn't that, as much as I have been shitting on it

I hope more devs take notes.

Wow another episode of
>Rest of the internet loves it therefore we must treat it like a blugh upone humanity
>When it's just a 7-8/10 game
Examples: this game, hollow knight, the witcher 3, rdr2, elden ring or any other modern popular game.

it's this generation's Final Fantasy X

>>721103545
Blight upone humanity*

>>721103545
If you want a fanclub where you never need to see criticism, I'd recommend fucking off to r*ddit. Also, nobody here is saying it's that bad, 7-8/10 is fine

>>721103601
More like it's the FFX generation's less embarrassing sequel they weren't expecting

>>721104006
I am just talking about v tards treating this or any other popular thing like worst thing ever
And i agree a genuine 7-8 is actually pretty good
