Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 haters are now waiters at its table of success |
A game with as much hype as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is bound to attract haters. Unlike most games, however, the beloved French RPG has birthed a social media phenomenon where ardent detractors decry the game only to later go online and admit they were vehemently wrong.
On the r/expedition33 subreddit, this genre of post is practically a daily occurrence. "Add me to the pile of converted haters," one post from Dec. 19 reads. "I get it now," another poster, who says they were hating on the game during its TGA sweep, wrote last week. It's become such a common occurrence that this genre of post has practically become a meme within the community. "People giving Expedition 33 a chance despite their negative first impressions and ending up falling in love with it never gets old," reads one highly-voted thread. In it, the most popular comment says that people being skeptical about Expedition 33 only to end up loving it "reads like copypasta at this point."
The visible changes of heart are hardly limited........
