Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

What are the odds that a mechanic introduced to you in the first combat is a required component of the game? Crazy.
I think you should probably give up on gaming. Doesn’t seem like your scene: it’s for people that have the ability to process information and learn from it.
I have a criticism or two about one video game, and you leapt to “gaming isn’t for you”.
They’re just incredibly bad criticisms tbh. The first one is only subjectively a “criticism” in the first place, and the other is- at best- a poorly made observation.
So yes, let me double down. If whenever a game says “this is how you play the game” and your response to that is “it shouldn’t be”, maybe gaming isn’t for you.
If whenever a game says “this is how you play the game” and your response to that is “it shouldn’t be”
That response is what a critique is. Metroid Prime 4 says, “you play the game by collecting these green crystals,” and many critics said, “it shouldn’t be.”
And yet someone completed the game without parrying a single time.
Good for them. Did they do it without dodging too?
Yes. It was reported basically everywhere.

Want to move that goalpost again?
My experience was my experience. I’m glad for that person that they found that build. I did not, and I’ll wager most others didn’t either. The last third of my game was spent pumping points into defense and vitality to alleviate the issue, but it was a drop in the bucket. This is like when I vented frustrations with RE2 remake’s scaling difficulty, and someone pulled up, “Well, speedrunners don’t run into this issue, because…” I’m not a speedrunner. I’m a guy playing the game for the first time, and I used the information in front of me to make the best choices I could, and I still came away with criticisms. In CO:E33, it led to situations where the damage was so high and the action economy so constrained that it was faster to throw the fight and reload than it was to take a hit on the first turn, and that sucked.

Get good or lower the difficultly and stop crying

Sure do. I got good and still have this criticism.
