A year late to the party but I’m enjoying the game snagged the digital deluxe edition for $40 no complaints so far
Superpowers < Homelessness
– SquareEnix, apparently
Most of your complaints could be answered easily: they had a sequel or multiple sequels in mind. This was supposed to become another big ip for square enix like final fantasy. They probably have more diverse regions of athia, continuation of the story after frey decides to live in athia so all the skills can be used more in sequel, that was their plan. But unfortunately because of the hate mob that you addressed in the video, the studio itself shut down. So I don't see any sequel happening.
I think it's a fun game, nice graphics, interesting gameplay, fast action and a wide variety of spells. The conversation of the main character and others is no worse than that of many other games, such as dragon dogma, dragon age, assassins creed, etc. Sometimes better, the development of the main character and how she views the world and herself is fine. But hey, I'm a 70 year old gamer who has been playing games for 42 years and still enjoys them.
Thanks cowboy, I was put off getting this game by the haters, I think I might buy it now it is on sale for £10 uk❤
Well Cowboy i came across the game for a tenner from the Game shop so bought it ! Although reviews were bad im ignoring that and feel a tenners will be worth paying, Loved ur honesty an opinion 👍 Keep making great content man 👏
I think people are salty from the bad frames thay take it out on everything else too
Man I like that she cusses
I’ve been watching you cowboy since borderlands two and I absolutely love your intro. I mean what asshole would walk into a movie theater and tell all the people watching, this movie is trash?! I mean no one asked you so shut up lol. Just because something didn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. Let people make up their own minds.
i think if forspoken wasent 70 dollars it wouldnt get as much hate and i played through it on the steam deck it ran fine but story was very mid.
This game is freaking expensive compared to other modern game and its also short. For example; Witcher 3 has 50 hrs main story while this game only has around 12hrs of main story. SHORT ASS GAME
I was dumb enough to by the deluxe edition. It could have been better but wasn't all that bad to me
The start of this video is the best.
The game is amazing. I hate the cursing because my daughter would love this game. By the way….this is part of my theory that SONY took lost soul aside and stripped it to make about 4 different games. This is one of them.
I'm from Belmar – Never would have pegged you for a Jersey Boy with all of the y'alls. 🙂 Of course, living in London for 16 years, I now say cheers instead of thanks half the time … 😕
It didn’t feel like a bad game, just get average. Definitely not playing full price for it. I’ll just find a cheap 2nd copy so I can resell the game again after I’m done with it.
Big Homey, I appreciate the rant. It did not make sense how much hate this game is getting.
Holy shit. Who would have known there were still actual men on Youtube and not just guys who follow whatever trend is going on. I actually don’t agree with some of your review, but I am glad you decided to call out all of the fucking children who seem to as you called it “Hate masturbate” the game.
Seen your content over the years and never disliked what I saw or anything but from now on I will check out more.
Do not own Forespoken because the demo was a mixed bag however I did have fun so I decided to wait for a sale. Then the giant ocean of vitriolic hate tidal wave of children took over the narrative.
Last word : The profanity doesn’t bother me at all. I think a lot of people calling it out don’t realize how much they or others use it. Maybe not you, but I legit watched a hater go nuts over the profanity never mind that he was dropping F bombs, saying shit, calling stuff ass etc.. on a 3:1 ratio to the game. Nothing more hilarious then some 20 year old guy who just cussed 32 times complaining that the main character was cussing to much when it was Streamer 32: main character 13. 😑
The number of people Hate Jerking to this game is just hilarious. They act like they don't have a life at all.
Adding extra separately so my initial comment doesn't get beyond stupid in length. This one will be more addressing the video itself.
Gotta partially disagree with Frey's attitude. It's the whole don't know what you got thing. Yeah, she didn't have much. It was still home. It was all she knew. None of us can realistically put ourselves in the same situation because it's fantasy. We are suspending our disbelief every time we play. If the same thing happened for us the culture shock would be beyond belief. It would be near impossible to adjust. That's before the magical bracelet that talks to you, the existance of magic and your sudden ability to use it, every day being a fight for survival and the world literally ending.
As if that weren't enough, suddenly, just because she has these new powers she never asked for, people are expecting her to play the role of "hero" and place herself in even more danger protecting their asses (some of which already demonise her) and saving a world she was hijacked to and has zero connection to. Just let all that sink in and try to tell me you wouldn't be dying to get home to the nightmare you know at first.
Also, I know of plenty of people who have used strong language as a part of their every day vocabulary in the past. If that's the world you've grown up in and the people you've been around that's just how you're gonna speak. I don't think it's overdone. Most of the time it's called for given the situation and even when it isn't I don't feel like it's all that overdone if you don't count repeated lines.
I think a lot of complaints come from the fact too many people just don't get it. It's an exploration/combat game mostly. You can complete story in 20-30 hours easy but can easily drop well over 100 hours in exploration and completing all objectives, upgrading all gear and looting every chest.
I don't think the game is average. I think it's great. There is not a single game in existance I can think of that doesn't have its share of problems. There is no obvious visual difference between the graphical settings and the story itself is a little on the short side with most world building and backstory gated behind reading material. That's about it. The game still looks great, regardless of what some want to say. It plays great for the most part (had the odd crash on occasion but this is far from the first game to do that).
I think this can be the problem with early teaser trailers. They can build up hype for something new and people can build their own vision of what it might be…then it turns out to be nothing like they expected and it's the game's fault.
The game is worth the money for the right person if you can afford it. If you enjoy this kinda thing and value gameplay hours then it's definitely worthwhile. I place a lot of value on gameplay hours. This game has it without feeling mind-numbing or anything of the sort.
Final Fantasy XIII drew a lot of negative attention. I loved it. Others did too. Some games are more niche and people mistakenly believe that makes them bad. As a final note I should add that in my opinion video games are overpriced these days and pretty much nothing is worth full retail. That is the world we live in however and if you wanna play it on launch you gotta pay up.
Generally enjoying the game so far, the story is pretty interesting too and a bit emotional at some point like dang. Combat and parkour system is amazing though.
I enjoyed it.😊
Im hook on the game i turn it off but i want to play it again it a good game
I was interested in this game when the first trailer came out but with the demo it just didn’t grab me into buying at full price. Once it drops I want to give it a try.
Great review as always. It helped me to make decision and don't waste my money and apparently just wait for discount. Thank you.
I loved the game. I had a great time! Still playing it. I agree with you, the hate is very obnoxious.
Cynical MC cursing all the time? Sounds like a sales pitch to me …
Seriously, something is definitely wrong with me.
I kinda liked the intro rant. What's wrong with me?
7:30 If you think about it THE WORLD SHE GETS SUCKED INTO; ESSENTIALLY HAS ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS AS HER OLD LIFE EXCEPT SHE HAS POWERS. The Tanta's are basically the Judges/Police/Prison of Earth, heck the Cipal leader is a fill in for the Judge she left her cat with, etc. She's homeless in this world too. All the cats. I see what they tried to do with the story BUT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MEAT IN IT.
TBH there is SO MUCH LOCKED INFORMATION THAT THE GAME DOESN'T TELL YOU, EVEN IN COMBAT SYSTEMS! For example all the parkour animation canceling, perfect parries or even the ones where it's not "perfect" like most ppl do not understand you can hit Triangle to parry lol. But yeah buy the game ONLY FOR THE COMBAT AND ONLY ON SALE!. 5:36 @FightinCowboy so funny you mention this was finishing my TV back log "The Peripheral" and it's supposed to be set near where I live. I guess a southern "twang" is hard for actors to pull off but omg it's horrible hearing someone with a bad version of the accent lol.
Give it a 7.5-8. Gotta remember she is 20 years old and parents left her in the street and had to get it on her own with life crimes. Didn't mind the cussing also why wouldn't u go back to New York see odd monsters and ppl called her demon and was trying to ask her to kill ppl and she didn't want to do that.
No smiting stones? 😏
Dude, thank you for being so brilliant! I personally really loved the game, yes there is room for improvement and you pointed a lot of that out, but did I have fun? YES! Did I enjoy it enough to go back and platinum it? SURE DID! All the people review bombing this really got me mad too like, I just didn’t get it! It’s the same kinda people that review bomb films and TV series as soon as they take a different turn and it’s just so sad! So glad you spoke up about that, huge thanks!
