    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

        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”.

          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.

                  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

                    Dawn French was (is) one of the most recognisable English actor (English, as in the country, not the language). Getting her to do the dub just because she has “French” in her name was the joke.

                      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.

                      I mean, the whole point of the game is the storyline. The combat is really mostly secondary to it.

                        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.

                          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.

                            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?

                                Compared to dictators (or wannabe), I get that Macron seems attractive. But he’s proven to be pro-rich (taxes on the rich have been drastically cut under Macron) and anti-democratic (he’s ignored the result of the last election and nominated a plethora of prime ministers from parties who lost).

                                  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.

                                      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 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

                                        Played in French. Wish that was the original version. Especially since my understanding is the performance capture was done by a French cast and the English cast that is getting all the press and accolades did the voice work exclusively.

                                        I would have preferred if the voice and facial animation was targeted to the French language. I don’t know why European games are so afraid of not being in English. If Persona can do it so can E33. Or maybe not? Certainly the cast was a selling point, so what do I know.

                                          So… hold on, is it “a historic first”? I guess the TGAs haven’t been around that long. There have definitely been major GOTY awards for French games before, though.
