Steam reviews are comedy gold.
It deserves all the praise it has received. What an incredible game.
I did myself the disservice of watching a synopsis of the game to see what the hype is all about. All spoilers known.
Holy shit am I going to buy the hell out of this game anyway.
It does have a lot of replay value because the gameplay loop is tight, and the foreshadowing work is so outstandingly tight that every in-game conversation has a second layer of meaning once you know the story twists.
Also they added a photo mode and I kinda wanna do a NG+ just for that.
It meets the hype. Fully.
Absolute. Cinema!
I do have a question playing this game: how many decided to play with French language and subs? Somehow it feels that is the way intended with this game
The English VA is really good and if you don’t speak French you will miss some characterizing lines. Combat barks and such aren’t subtitled, and neither is what little passive chatter between NPCs there is.
I’ve been told the French is rather mediocre compared to the English.
Daym, I’m very interested in sprucing up my french and this sounds like a great way to do that.
Shut your mouth Macron, this isn’t about you
French president holding to shred of relevancy and noteworthiness tries to coopt national success he had nothing to do with. Now to our main story tonight, is the weather getting colder?
Well, in UK the queen was used to make lords people that had great merit for the nation: Sir Sinclair for the quite popular zx spectrum and Sir Terry Prachett for amazing narrative, on turtle, universe he crafted.
I don’t remember there was any requirements on political side (queen or parliament) to acknowledge people’s merit to the nation.
I still cannot get into the mood to finish it. I just got the bouncy giant and moody boy #2, but I’m too zapped to continue. It needs to become an animated series like Arcane
Now want to try it less Macron has horrible judgement no reason to assume his gaming judgement is different.
Its a pretty fab game, idiot endorsement or not
I just don‘t like the game because it has turn based combat. Like it‘s an RPG but you can‘t demolish foes with reaction skills. Where‘s the fun in that?
You actually can smoke foes with parries and reactive skills.
That‘s atleast something. I just saw some screenshots and didn‘t like how it looked.
To me, combat needs to have positioning and creative interaction with terrain to be fun, which is why I love FromSoft games and soulslikes in general.
Imagine being this clueless.
I don’t like it because its French.
I watched gameplay and it looked boring af. Miitopia for the 3DS had better turn based combat than this.
Considering the fact that you don’t know about the core game mechanic that is used in literally every combat, the value of your input is less than 0.
I loved the fight mechanics and I’m sure there was a good story in there if I cared but one thing that really grinded my gears was the goddamn cutscenes. Not only that but the incessant cut scene that leads into another cut scene that leads into another cut scene. Seriously I spent half the game skipping cut scenes.
Could be worse, could be a marathon run of the Metal Gear series with a ban on skipping cutscenes. Also the fuck did you expect from an aggressively French JRPG style game, FFS JRPGs are defined by their cutscenes.
When I develop my game I’m going to prevent players from skipping cutscenes on first viewing.
Gods, some people are just undeserving…
Please don’t, unless it’s a toggle in the menu like with the Renpy engine. I don’t want to watch a long cutscene that I know by heart just because I’m playing on a new thing without my local saves.
Then don’t play my future games.
I don’t play JRPGS and never played metal gear. I played Clair because I heard of the sekiro type mechanics and was interested.
What Sekiro type mechanics? It basically has nothing outside of the timed combat mechanics which are far from unique amongst various games, hell I’m pretty sure Jedi Academy which has combat mechanics closer to Daggerfall or Mount and Blade had a timed party mechanic though I could never figure it out.
Do yourself a favor and look at the tags for a game before playing it. Looking at the steam page it has both story rich and JRPG as tags, this is basically tag speech for long fucking cutscenes.
I mean, the whole point of the game is the storyline. The combat is really mostly secondary to it.
Probably full of propaganda. Why would any president care?
Wtf? Lol
Outside of America many countries have a strong sense of pride especially when something is overtly representing them and their culture.
As a Canadian if they made this game with hockey and toques I’d damn well expect the prime minister to applaud them when they won game of the year too.
Throw in some poutine and I’m on board.
I’m assuming you’re 14, so I’ll explain in simple terms: the game is a success, the game is French, the president of France is celebrating that the game of the year is French. In the process, he is trying to make himself look good.
I need a distinction between VIDEO games (interactable videos with fail cases so it’s a game in the end but barely) and video GAMES (games you can see and not imagine, like basketball: no story, no progression, just rule based win/lose thing)
I think you’re looking for “genres”, the problem isn’t the term “video games”.
Sure, you have walking simulators and Bomberman. There you go.
Bro couldn’t finish the prologue because their attention span is 10 minutes and somehow thinks the game has more cutscenes than content.
Even more of a reason for me to never want to play it
Imagine not playing a videogame because some guy in France likes it and he also (and I’m only guessing here, but this is lemmy) supports Israel
Macron has done worse.
Macron liking it is just the cherry on top, I also just really hate jrpgs
If you don’t like the games that other people make, then why don’t you macron?
Can you elaborate? I feel like I am missing context or some words in your comment for it to male sense to me.
