Amid Universal Acclaim, Turn-Based Haters Are Trying to Review-Bomb Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been received very well, some haters are trying to drag it down by giving it 0's and 1's scores.

[RaidenBlack]

lol

[excaliburps]

People really be hating for the sake of it. Yeesh.

[RaidenBlack]

Already got so many turn based franchises converted to real time. Even got Baldur's Gate III.

[RaidenBlack]

"Even got Baldur's Gate III."
*I meant to say, we even got another turn based high rated game in the form of Baldur's Gate III that became GOTY ... but even after all that we see these activities.
Should've elaborated.
I didn't mean Bladur's became real-time. That effort goes to the Dragon Age franchise and others.

[neutralgamer1992]

I don't like turn based combat but I am. Willing to try it. Some people just hate for no reason. I mean if I don't like a game I can ignore it why do I need to spread hate

[Armaggedon]

People get salty when games they like are overshadowed by other games.

[RaidenBlack]

Pokemon was the main reason I got to experience turn based (before FF n all).
I didn't even realize it was turn based until a friend of mine pointed it out, that I've been enjoying turn based all along.
@Armaggedon
Yep, pretty much

These review bombers need a job

[HectixRose]

There the same crowd who cry woke, this is their job. Always finding something to critisize.

[TricksterArrow]

I saw a review that gave the game zero because they thought Sciel (a hot babe in the game) was DEI, as she had a, what they described as, square face. lol

[Killer2020UK]

Nah, fuck em. No employment for pricks

[-Foxtrot]

Funny because these are probably the same people Square Enix try to please with new mainline FF games.

[No Way]

Honestly, I stopped playing the FF games when they went away from turn-based combat.. That was FF. They should have created a new series or spin offs that had the real time combat.

[DustMan]

The only game I adjusted to and really liked after the move from turn based was FF12, and even then it was fairly similar with cooldown and what not.

[gold_drake]

god, review bombers are some of the lowest scumbags of the internet

[isarai]

That's pathetic. I don't like turn-based games but I don't hate them. It just doesn't do anything for me. I can still acknowledge that this is. Looks like an amazing game. WTF is wrong with people? Lol

[Relientk77]

How does this game even have haters? Its frickin amazing. GOTY worthy and currently my GOTY. A very unique and fantastic JRPG all around.

[Nitrowolf2]

People will find anything to complain about tbh

[jznrpg]

Really sad for the people who do these things because they don’t realize how lame they are.

[Levii_92]

The same goes for every game, movie and show and everything else ever released lol. Why is this a topic?

Me personally i find 0’s and 1’s equally as bad and useless as mindless 10’s.

[Traecy]

Misery loves company, as well as some mental illness is prevalent within the gaming community.

[VersusDMC]

Well i guess this is a response to all the annoying "Square DESTROYED" you tube videos and articles...even when this game hasn't even outsold Rebirth or FFXVI yet.

I don't know why people can't celebrate this game without antagonizing other games...

[nommers]

Doesn't look like review bombing

[ravens52]

Fck is wrong with people. Weird

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I grew up on Turn based so for me it was love at first sight. I enjoy it FAR more than Rebirth.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I would enjoy FF7R more if they didn't mess with the story, I can make do with the combat, even if it's not what I prefer for FF.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Let us have our turn-based RPGs, there's more than enough action RPGs and action games in general as it is.

[Lexreborn2]

There is just a clump of people who really just love to hate for the sake of it. The longer I live the harder it is to understand why there’s so much energy poured into obsessing over things that don’t affect you just because someone else is happy.

[SoloGamer1]

they need to get a life.. its not gonna work.. sheesh.. just go play a game thats NOT turn-based.. simple. 🙄

[Vithar]

so stupid, leads me to believe that these idiots don't even like games anymore

[ShwaaMan]

You can be the sweetest juiciest peach in the world, and there will always be someone who hates peaches.

[DivineHand125]

I will never understand the review bombing mentality. It is sad because there are hundreds of games out there to play so there is no point to do this. This is one of the low points of our community and 9 out of 10 times, it is for something stupid.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Well we already know the universal acclaim the game got, so let them think they are doing something. Everyone else knows the truth

[Goodguy01]

Eesh. Plenty of your unga bunga real time action games lol

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Videogame nerds are some of the corniest people on the planet.

[andy85]

Are they? It's sitting at 9.7. Pretty much the highest rated game ever. The weirdos give 0s to eveey single game on the market. This has had less of them than any.

[PrecursorOrb]

Where is this even happening? A quick google search shows nothing but good reviews

[Christopher]

It's on Metacritic user reviews. Not really an issue considering the people doing the bad faith reviews are massively outnumbered by those who like the game. You gotta really search for the bad actors, tbh.

https://www.metacritic.com/...

[PrecursorOrb]

Kinda seems like this was blown way out of proportion

[PhillyDonJawn]

Turn base sucks

[Fonsecap]

I think this is just click bait, just go to metacritic and you'll see that user score is even higher than critics score... Yes there are some 0's and 1's but I think that's normal, even Witcher # or GTA V have some 0's and 1's.

For exemple this user has a positive review but he mistakenly gave the game a 0:
Incroyable ! N'étant pas du tout convaincu au départ, le jeu a su me captiver très rapidement ,je ne regrette absolument pas de l'avoir lancer ! Les combats sont relativement dynamique et les musiques sont incroyable !

"Incredible! Not being at all convinced at first, the game managed to captivate me very quickly, I absolutely do not regret having launched it! The fights are relatively dynamic and the music is incredible!"

[Kosic]

I'm on act 2, and the only issue I have is the random game crashes where it reboots my machine. Other than that, it's an incredible looking game.

[BlackDoomAx]

Stop having fun!
