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.

I don’t play JRPGS and never played metal gear. I played Clair because I heard of the sekiro type mechanics and was interested.

Good to know

Probably full of propaganda. Why would any president care?

Even more of a reason for me to never want to play it

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)

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.

So as a customer my selection process is shorter. The label “Video game” is getting too big that it’s becoming useless. Imagine all the citrus fruits were called citrus fruits. I mean yeah but I wanna know if I’m buying an orange or a lemon, I like both but not in the same situation.

edit: I couldn’t stop thinking about the fruits: Citrus with sugar elements, Aroma driven Citrus

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

You really think Macron has done good for France?

When I develop my game I’m going to prevent players from skipping cutscenes on first viewing.

Gods, some people are just undeserving…

Honestly, I think knowing might help get through chapter 1. You know something’s up almost immediately, but they drag the mystery out way too long for my patience, where I felt like I was being fucked around with and having my time wasted. I would have dropped it if not for my partner insisting I’d like it, and the rest of the story did end up being worth it.

English Esquie is one of the most delightful things I’ve ever had the joy of experiencing. He’s voiced by the same person in both, but in French he just sounds French. In English he gets to have a French accent. Every character with a French accent is at odds with the main cast in a way that’s very flavorful. It just makes all the Frenchness really pop, like mixing sweet and salty.

Macron has done worse.

Is Dawn really the Frenchest name you could think of?

I think you’re looking for “genres”, the problem isn’t the term “video games”.

Throw in some poutine and I’m on board.

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?
