It's laughable how hard the Flintlocks and Forspokens have been owned with this. All you needed was a cast of whites (one hapa doesn't count) and a somewhat competent writer and all the normgroids would proclaim it as the bestest game ever.

My hatred for coomers is unending. Essentially everything wrong with video games was started by, and propped up by, coomers.

They are attractive. I don't want developers to crack the code on how to sell slop, so they need to stop with this.

I thought they were attractive and if I played games entirely based on waifus I would probably play this.

I respect both of your inherent aversions to western character design, but I disagree here. They really grew on me after playing, I didn't care for them at all when I first saw them

I'm obviously biased though

Yes. But it has QTEs for every attack and defense, the defense QTEs allowing you to negate 100% of damage(and if done well enough, do high amounts of counter damage)

Ahh, so the gameplay is Mario RPG. That explains the ratings.

Mario RPG except it has elden ring attack delays

Mario RPG: enemy jumps at you and the velocity continues in a pattern a human would expect, and connect as you'd expect.
Obscure Eclairs: Pastry-Three: Enemy jumps at you and lands 5 inches from your face, swings its weapon three times to try and juke a dodge, swings its weapon over its head, holds it there for half a second, then hits you

Was it really necessary to bring your mothers relationship with you into a thread about a video game?

Unpopular opinion: Ugly black lesbians aren’t the primary reason the quality of video games has been decreasing in recent years.

no idea what's making people think this is one of the best games ever made, it's mediocre even without completely destroying the combat with ******** QTEs
People want to cheer for a western dev that isn't producing some version of Concord.

Even if it's 5/10, it'll get knocked up to 9/10 just because of that.

I'm one of the last people that would say this, but it just feels like a blatant anti-Japanese bias being applied. I did not see anything groundbreaking here, and a lot of systems are much simpler than in JRPGs I know of.

I highly doubt this is actually a better game than Metaphor: ReFantazio, mechanically. And the story of Eclairs was just as gonzo as a typical JRPG.

I'm the opposite, I wish death upon westoid game devs and want nothing more than every last piece of **** they create to fail and for them to get fired and starve to death. I have no desire to play more western games at all and I'm perfectly content only playing eastern games, since I've always preferred them. For me to think highly of a western game is no simple task
