Was the STORY made by CHATGPT?
Let’s cut the nonsense: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s story is a masterclass in creative bankruptcy. The protagonists “tragic” backstory (dead parents + amnesia) is ripped from a JRPG cliche generator, the “shocking twist” that the Paintress is secretly your long lost mom reeks of a first draft fanfic and NPCs repeat the same three lines about “petal storms” like broken ChatGPT outputs. The final act’s “meta painting world” twist isn’t profound its a desperate cop-out by writers who ran out of ideas. Even the dialogue feels AI-generated, with characters spouting pseudo-philosophical drivel about “beauty in decay” while standing in copy-pasted fields. Charging $70 for this narrative dumpster fire isnt just greedy its a slap in the face to anyone who cares about storytelling.

Ah he is back with troll thread nr. 239. This time with a story angle.
Just one question good sir, dont you feel embarassed that you spend like 90% of your free time making troll and bait threads on video game forums?
Dont you think at some time in the future your grandchildren will ask you " Grandpa what did you achieve when you were young?" and then you have to lie or answer " i spend all my free time trolling people in video game forums! " just to see the pity and disappointment in their eyes?

I agree that there's a lot of rips from the most cliche of JRPS tropes but I guess I just like the genre cause it didn't bother me much.

- This person was actually a CLONE all along!
- This person/being was actually a different character in disguise all along!
- Character was mind controlled / mind was corrupted and they actually weren't evil and that's only revealed after you beat them in combat for some reason.
- Having weird and poorly explained "multi-universe" versions of characters that are basically walking plot devices.

Very optimistic of you to assume he'll have grandchildren.

Man, the game lives rent free in so many of you haters heads it actually makes me feel kind of bad for you that you have literally nothing else going for you that you have to sit on a steam forum trying to bait people into a false rhetoric.
Dude, I'm completely let down by the story as well, but you could have presented your argument in a more respectful manner. I get it, it's a game that really brings out every emotion.

I think they can fix it without too much trouble, though. They just need to flesh out the endings more and/or give us a middle ground one.

I think the world of the Painters and the canvas is some of the most interesting since the days of Rapture in Bioshock. It would be fun to see this world further developed in a DLC or other game, perhaps developing the story of Clea and the conflict between Painters and Writers.

I also have no problem with the dialogues, and found the acting to be convincing (not to the lip-sync).

In my view, where the writers dropped the ball is in everything related to painted Verso. The other party members trust him implicitly, for no real reason, and when they find out he betrayed them, that all along he was trying to erase all they wanted to save, they go... OK, no problem... withing the next cut-scene. Then they go on teaming up with him without any discussion whether his aims have changed... and they haven't. Nonsensical.
