Thread 3821250

i recently dropped Expedition 33 because of the parry mechanic, the game is fun (not a jrpg or turn based) but the thing that made me drop it was parry being mandatory, and the game has not only 1 but 2 types of parry, the latter one shots your character.

the bad thing about this is that expedition 33 is probably winning goty and thus all turn based rpg's will now include a mandatory parry system.

>>3821250 (OP)
Further into the game you'll have to deal with even more forms of parry ;)
It's ok. You don't HAVE to parry. You can get by with dodging in the majority of fights, and that's more forgiving. Also - if you stick with it, you'll get better at it quickly.

>>3821250 (OP)

You´ll get used to it. Eventually.

>>3821250 (OP)
You don't have to parry, the dodge window is literally 50% wider. I don't know how so many people completely ignore dodge in favor of parry and then complain that parrying is too hard. It's meant to be. You're supposed to dodge first as you learn enemy movesets.

>>3821250 (OP)

I barely ever used the parry mechanic. Dodge is good enough except for that one white nevron challenge that´s exclusively about parrying. I mean, maybe learn to parry the chrome attacks but that´s about it.

Tell me you didn't play it without telling me you didn't play it.

The problem with this game is its false advertising

>>3821385
Well it's not a jrpg.
It also plays like standard western slop, except it has a braindead shitty turn based combat system.

fucking D Counter, punishing you for going Dragon Mode

>inb4 retards shout "filtered"
that's all you fucks can say to criticism about this abortion and never actually defend the game

and Act 3

lol beat me to it. Makes you wonder how people like this survived so long.

>>3821621
Remind me again how many JRPGs have parryslop.
It plays like a shitty western indie rpg.

Also by definition it's not a JRPG, since it's not from japan.

>>3821854
Ah so it innovated upon the tired old jrpg slop turn-based combat

>>3821854
>It plays like a shitty western indie rpg.
It basically plays like DQ11 with parrying.

>>3821250 (OP)
I absolutely hated the parrying mechanic, and was shit at the combat on easy mode to the point that I didn't complete Monoco's quest. But I still made it to the end of the game and love the worldbuilding/storytelling.
I hope the Clair Obscur devs told Square Enix more than just "add a parry bro."

They said "ok we'll remake FF8Bfor you"

>>3821250 (OP)
I wouldn't mind dodge or parry, if there would be any sense in it. Realistically you are learning strange patterns where attackers defy physics and stop mid air to attack. Ridiculous. I do like active elements in a turnbased setting, but please make it fun, not boring.

>>3821705
why did you reply genuinely to a bot thread? you could just go to chatgpt if you're that desperate for fake social interaction

>>3821250 (OP)
Wow, so I'm not alone. My Steam review is getting pounded for saying the same thing you did, OP. I want to love the game, been playing Turnbased JRPGs since Dragon Warrior 1, but the parrying kills it for me.

>>3822483
Doesn't the game have some journalist mode for the reflex deficient old folks?

>>3821855
>Ah so it innovated
It's a regression of both Persona 5 and Shadow Hearts. Just dumbing things down for casuals.

>>3821854
bro E33 is just paper mario for rightwing gays

>>3822512
This is the most fitting description ever

>>3822502
Ah so it is jrpg slop combat

>>3821854
>>3822567
Don't have a vocabulary because you are functionally illiterate and you only know how to rearrange buzzwords you heard on TikTok? Just append "slop" to the end of every word! Like magic, it will make you seem like a super cool sophisticated and enlightened cynic wise far beyond your meager twelve years!
There's an overpopulation crisis ongoing, and you are guaranteed to not have a decent quality of life at any point in the future, so kill yourself now before you endure the constant torment of being clocked in at McDonald's the rest of your life. Literally. Seriously. That's all you have to look forward to. Is working the drive-thru.

Until the bots replace you because at least they have the virtue of not barking "SLOP!" like a hyperactive lapdog with Tourette's suffering a seizure.

Poodle fuckin' haircut pompom broccoliboi gaped pussy face dumbfuck.

Unfortunately no. It's like a kid trying to draw the sun, but instead draws a square while then going "I-it was totally intentional!".
There isn't a single aspect of E33 that is well designed or well written, sadly.
But not to worry, the average consumer isn't picky. Bayformers, Minecraft movie or E33, pigs eat any slop so long as the wrapper is shiny.

>>3822571
Yes your favorite game is like sooo sophisticatedly good and other people are stupid

So tiresome

>>3822575
Parry/Dodge slop that makes any strategy irrelevant is however for intellectuals, I agree.

>>3822481
>why did you reply genuinely to a bot thread?

got proof it's a bot thread?

>>3822580
What jrpg "strategy" does it make irrelevant? Healing?

>>3822512
I have heard claims of that but as someone who beat E33, how the fuck does it appeal to those retards?

>>3822584
The only thing that matters is parry/dodge. What elements the enemy uses, what attacks they use, what armor you wear, etc. etc. all doesn't matter

>>3822605
What jrpg "strategy" does it make irrelevant? Healing?

>>3821250 (OP)
There are four types of parry

>>3821605

Have you ever even played a JRPG? It´s absolutely one.

>>3822669
Didn't know that France was located in Japan.

>>3822676
Dark Souls is a JRPG
