aside from DS2 ( thats is already a pretty nich game ) , i dont think there is anything else that comes close to E33.
Also, its time for our boy Clive Rosfield get his best voice actor award this year or Andy Serkis, Renoir is peak character.

I feel there would be a tsunami of peoples complaining about how sluggish the character feels and how the missions are archaic etc. A pretty candy that tastes bad.

Why are we pretending like the year is over already? It's going to have a lot of competition.

It will like every Rockstar game, but you would also see literally tens of millions (including the ultra casuals that barely play anything) glazing and damage controlling the game for Rockstar. This is GTA we're talking about. When you've been edging your fanbase for over a decade, be certain that when the game comes out, people will be jizzing all over about the game. I don't see anything winning over GTA6, including a new Zelda, Elden Ring 2, Half Life 3, and all of the big hitters.

care to name some ?
DS2 is already nich, Kojima simps ll love it and thats it and Yotei, it has to be really REALLY GOOD since its now "woke" samurai, i think it ll really be hard to take E33 spotlight.

What games that are out or are coming out, that are going to give Clair Obscur serious competition?

I hope it wins. Either that or Prime 4.

2 major games aren't a lot of competition? And there are always a couple of surprises along the way too. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of games get pushed forward back into the fall/winter now that GTA6 is delayed.
The lack of a demo is puzzling especially after the success Metaphor had with a demo. I know they're not necessarily cheap to make, but I think they're worth the sales boost.

DS2 as mentionned, is pretty niche and there is a lot of hate for the first game, walking simulator and all.
As for Yotei, unless it's revolutionary, it'll probably be more of the same (dont get me wrong, I'm looking forward to it)
I'm not saying there isnt any chance but I'm optimistic for COE33

You could try it on game pass xbox or pc. Nothing to lose really, especially with that other game pass thread going

It'll take a few years for the clones to start showing up but yeah, a lot of developers will want to chase that

Death Stranding was nominated for game of the year and sold over 10 million copies far more than E33...
Ghost of Tsushima was also nominated for GOTY.
Is E33 revolutionary? What's revolutionary about it?
I was much more convinced that Astro Bot was a lock than E33 and E33 has much more serious competition.
You really think it's Grummz and Vara Dark that draw up the nominees for TGA GOTYs?
Most normal people aren't deducting quality points from the game simply because there's a woman protagonist.

Square-Enix releases more turn-based games than other companies.
You're comparing 5 years lifetime sales of DS - across multiple re-releases - to a month of E33?

It did a perfect mashup of turn based and action combat. It's not super revolutionary I'll give you that, but it's a breath of fresh air.
It also hit all the nails perfectly, the story, the music, the gameplay, the writing (best dialogue and serious/mature tone in any RPG ever)

yeah i know, even than Yotei need to be really good to have a chance, the only game that i can see winning this atm is E33 or maybe KCD2.You really think it's Grummz and Vara Dark that draw up the nominees for TGA GOTYs?

A truly great speech I think we'll be seeing referenced many, many years from now.
I'm playing Expedition 33 now, and though I'm not far in, I can feel the passion the team put into this. I admit I doubted Sandfall, during last year's showcases I wrote it off as another small studio trying to wow people with graphics. I thought a small team could not do what they were showing off in the trailers, but I am so, so glad to have been wrong.

When are they going to come out with more physical copies? It's been like a month and they're still sold out. They need to get that sorted out.

The hype is real. I finished the game on game pass and I now want a ps5 physical copy to platinum it and I just can't find one. I had multiple stock alerts from amazon canada in the last two days but every time I get to the cart, it sells out.

'sold', does that include when EGS gave it away for free?

E33 came out at 50 dollars, 45 if you had PS+ and pre-ordered. The game has sold over 20 million copies in the 5 years... Are you suggesting that E33 is going to reach that?
Death Stranding sold absolutely nowhere near 20 million copies. Kojima announced 20 million players FFS. And we know it was given out freely on PS+, EGS and PC GP.
Hideo Kojima says Death Stranding's now had over 20 million players, and the fact folk are still playing 'makes me the happiest'
"Sams from all over the world are still delivering."

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
But why do sales matter for GoTY awards or nominees?
I'm having a hard time trying to understand why you're comparing Expedition 33 to Death Stranding's sales in the first place ..

What was revolutionary about Astro Bot to even be nominated? I would understand if it was the VR Astro Bot, that was actually revolutionary.
PS5 Astro Bot is just Mario with sony characters plastered on it to prey on nostalgic players.

I'm not the one who brought up sales. I was responding to the idea that Death Stranding was niche but somehow E33 wasn't...
You're having a hard time because you gravitate towards responding to individual's posts without reading the entire thread or at least what they're responding to...
What are you basing this on?
Where did I say it was revolutionary? Reading comprehension seems to have taken a massive fall in recent years and that's saying something since it was never that high to begin with.

God I hate this speech. It has become the go-to for gaming hipsters.

Nah dawg, you brought up DS's sales completely unprompted. The post you quoted didn't talk about sales, the previous posts from that user didn't talk about sales.
Don't pin dumb replies on others.
