While Forspoken’s story is quite passable, especially when it comes to give you an excuse to explore Athia and take part in fights …

I doubt this could be a GOTY contender even without the shitty writing
7 out of 100 right
Also, those that love stories in games… yea you wont like this game most likely. I'm not a story guy. I could care less.. I just want gameplay. I could play a game with a sucky story but still have a blast. So, if you can't handle a game with bad story… not sure what to say.
I've been gaming for over 4 decades and have been around for almost every original IP and release since Atari. Every year games get reamed BUT something the way Forspoken has been trashed seems 'off'. I've seen games that absolutely suck get better reviews and media. I honestly believe it's because of the first 6-8 hours of gameplay and story. Around the 5 hour mark I almost gave up and I would literally try and figure out why it wasn't clicking. From controls to gameplay it all seemed off. THEN around the 8 hour mark and customizing my buttons via the control menu… IT completely changed and now the game is freakin' fun to play. I couldn't put it down last night and can't wait to get back into it. I mean the latest sonic game has a similar vibe and open world. Same enemies throughout, same open world and empty but it's FUN. Story is bad and dialogue is horrible but I'm not in this for the story at all.. I play games for gameplay. I can bypass a story and just play the actual game and love it.
Unfortunately, the gamers in their teens to 30's don't have the reference of playing games in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. If they did, they'd appreciate a good game when they played one. Unfortunately the standards are being set by what they are seeing at this point in gaming history and that's setting the standard for games to come…. that honestly sucks.
Here's a tweak I made that made a huge difference for me. Change the trigger (shoot) button to square. Parkour / Run to R1 and Magic select to trigger. I turned up the sensitivity and booooom…. smooth combat and traversal. Get past the 8 hour mark and tweak the controls… love the game now and for me is a solid 8.5/10.
Yeah, if it were not a AAA game it would have been passable.
This is why game direction is a very important job
The game sounded like it was a complete waste of time and money when I watched these mainstream reviews. They make any game sound so bad. I even skipped Callisto Protocol because of these reviews. I finally got sick of it and just bought Forspoken. I just reached chapter 5 of the story. It definitely started bland and slow but I am hooked now! Its buttery smooth once you get used to the combat and traversal. Story is pretty basic. Just a normal human with a shitty life in NYC suddenly teleported to another world asked to become its savior.
I've skipped so many games that I waited for because of these reviews. I'm not watching any game review ever again.
In this video it’s a ‘fun game’ and in your next video it’s terrible …. Yet another YouTuber is is just riding the popularity wave instead of stand by your views… extremely poor
Ew black main character?🤮🤮
at least they got her tooth gap right
most these games that have hollywood tv show/movie actors SUCK and i feel like they wasted and blew their budgets overpaying these celebrities thata rent even good actors in the first place, and put gameplay 2nd and you end up with crap like this, callisto protocol and cyberjunk, and now cyberjunk wants to pay the big bucks to add edris elba, like just make a damn original character and put the money in the actual gameplay/world instead of corny movie/tv characters and your game will be less crappy
almost forgot high on life, another game that focuses too much on hey! look at meeee, im rock and morty, you know? RICK AND MORTY! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH! like it was funny at first then it got annoying… VERY ANNOYING. FAST. and by the end of the game i was glad it was over cus gameplay was pretty basic and bland and it got more emotional and stopped trying to be funny and i was drained, bored, and annoyed by the end, i just deleted it, didnt even care to go back and get more achievements, beat it, delete it, never will play it again
THIS is NOT beautiful.
Flat and lifeless with pretty battle FX is what it is.
Complaints about many aspects of the game.
Still gets a 7.
Folks are happy with so much shit these days.
The whole game is literally copy paste, from they sky which is like an umbrella, the hollow world in which apart from the absence of literally everything that supposed to be there to fill the void, on top of that you also see that every building and wall is the same. There's no love neither the slightest amount of care in this game, and I'm really sorry but I'm more disappointed than those who created forspoken because the fact that they basically don't give a damn is the least sad and infuriating.
Maybe as you state it is fun to play ? But I have to disagree on art direction and graphics. … it looks TERRIBLE to me. x_x
Never heard of this game before, but I just watched the 1st 15 minutes of it on IGN & it looks really interesting & fun to me.
But I only saw footage in the modern world.
Terrible.
This game is hot garbage. 😐👎🏿🔥🗑
I hope since Sony made it exclusive they add it to the plus subscription… otherwise where else can a gamer surf magic ?
You guys always do thus to black leads. The video game industry is racist
well, I'm waiting for someone to mod the protagonist into Agni's philosophy model.
Idk if this game is worth buying 🤔
I love how people watch a review and pass judgement on a game. I always thought it looked like a good 2nd tier game. I'm gonna play it and see if im right.
It’s pretty good I’m enjoying it alot.
Playing a Square Enix game for the story is like going to Hooters for the food.
Same situation as days gone –
The game is dope – it’s not for cry baby gamers
Not gonna lie, nothing about this game is appealing to me.
Frey is especially emblematic of this problem as a character… She isn't a particularly well written character… Her conversations with cuff come off as especially annoying, especially since these conversations often keep circling the same subjects constantly… Especially since the things they say aren't particularly well written… The story is at best, does well as an excuse…. It's especially fun, especially once you get a hang of it. Especially if you use a rapid fire spell. It's quite passable, especially when it gives you an excuse to explore.
Especially.
