So this video made me want to go back and play Final Fantasy 15
Solid 8/10 im really loving this game despite the bad dialogue
If you like this, play the last of us 1 and 2. The best games ever and the best DEI woke shit done so organically that even right wingers love it.
Bro I just finished this game and I have no idea why people think Frey is a bad character. I’ve seen people say some downright disgusting things regarding her too.
I have over 140 hours in this game and even reach max level, the combat was amazing and while yes the dialogue was cringy, it makes sense in context. A lot of people saying she’s an a**hole, while ignoring her care for people and how she grew up. Yes she was rude a ton in this game, but people immediately wanted to kill her when they met her.
Not only that the dialogue she has with kids is really innocent and shows how good of a person she is. It seems like people went with the flow and hate instead of actually playing the game.
It’s disappointing because I would’ve enjoyed a sequel so much. If you haven’t played this game I highly recommend it. Instead of directing hate to it, actually understand Frey’s point of view and the characters before actually giving an opinion. If you have the same opinion fine, but at least acknowledge why you think so instead of going with the hate.
Is the sky texture really like that even with high graphics settings i mean what is that at 5:30
Its currently sale price is 60% off, that was finally enough for me. It’s a beautiful game with great combat but to me that character is AGONY.
She has become somewhat less painful as the game has progressed and so far the world and the combat outweigh the stupendously unlikeable aspects. Aspect. Her.
She is to me a different version of the trope of a young person designed and written by middle aged people.
Only not in the usual tragic way, in a new and even more tiresome tragic way.
A DLC that saw her “tap out” or even get defeated causing the powers that be to beam in a substitute to carry her torch would be an ideal way to substitute a less awful protagonist and costs could have been kept down by simply making them far less vocal.
Almost silent.
Because gameplay is great imo. I doubt I’ll finish and she’ll be the reason but I’ll enjoy the gameplay a while longer yet.
I finally just got my physical copy with 17€ and I like this game a lot. Dont care what internet says. I judge myself.
How much did they pay ya to make this?
I grabbed this game this past winter when Epic was doing an insane discount, got it for $17 after tax. Absolutely had a BLASTTT.
Woke trash
Im one hour in. So far its an 8/10 same as what I would give ghost of tsushima which was also clunky
I absolutely love this game. I got it for Xmas and I haven't been able to put it down, been playing for like 13 hours straight. This game is waaaaay better than FF16. I couldn't stay awake playing FF16 at all. Forspoken story is really good and I find it very relatable. I have no clue what's going on in FF16 story, that game is so bland, everything besides the combat sucks in FF16. Whoever is in charge at square Enix needs to be fired for putting all their efforts into FF16 this and rushing Forspoken. Forspoken should've been delayed until right before Xmas this year and used the FF16 team to help polish Forspoken after they put that sleeper of a game out.
Great review, buying it tomorrow.
I just picked this up for $25 on the Xbox pc app and I’m 4 chapters in and loving it so far. the opening and most of her dialogue so far is pretty cringe but the music, fantasy world, magic, exploration, traversal and combat are amazing. I’m playing on hard mode and though it’s no souls like I appreciate the bit of challenge it’s giving me. Def plan to play this one all the way through doing most side stuff on the way.
l just don’t get all the hate for this game l am at the end of playing Forspoken now and l have throughly enjoyed it does it have flaws yes but every game has flaws even the games with a 10 rating has flaws no game is perfect although it did take me awhile to get use to the combat system but that’s fine
I disagree….bye
Great review! Thank you for that. Also, I love Final Fantasy XV. <3
This was one of my most anticipated games, even before all the dudebro cancel culture types came at the game. Frey looked like a really fun and unique protagonist, up until I played the demo… Something about the movement, felt exactly like I was playing FFXV. I wasn't ready to replay XV at the time, even though XV is my favorite Final Fantasy. Maybe right now's the perfect time to reconsider Forspoken. 👀
Good video.
love this game
Nice video and good to see other people that like it, I just binged through it recently and its some of the best fun ive had. Its basically the cool magic from Dragons Dogma but put out at a much faster pace I loved it. And as you say, we dont get many magic combat games.
Its also one of the most extreme cases of a hate train ive ever seen, just seeing your poor dislike bar as with other videos that speak positively of the game, the hate for the game is unnatural and overblown which is frustrating. Not to say the game is perfect, but its good where it counts in the core gameplay. Shame we probably wont see a sequel.
I like all these sarcastic comments about how they enjoyed the game, i almost believed some of them
This game is great , i love it and i find the ppl who LIED ABOUT THIS GAME so disgusting .. it is like they never played the game and posted negative review based on their stupid ideas of 'trolling',. I find Forspoken more enjoyable than the borign FF10 and FF15 , a bit better than FF12 and FF13
Game is shit and outclassed by the majority of games similar to it. If you genuinely liked it, up your standards. If you're just defending it for contrarian clout, find games good games that actually niche/slandered. Not this uninspired AAA goyslop that's destroying the industry.
Only good about this game is that has no force taa compared to most other games.
I agree with all of your points.
I wish the writers would have had a bit more freedom in this one.
I think we really under appreciate Hajime Tabata. The guy managed to salvage what FF15 previously be while the engine was being co develop with 15 and Square tossing Nomura left and right to a project.
I went in blind with this and loved it. I don’t agree with the criticism it got from reviewers
just finished it yesterday, will play more exploring the whole map, gameplay is great. The story in essence is also great, but sadly poorly executed. If you cut all the gameplay and watch the whole story, it won't make sense.
I bought the deluxe when it was on sale. And I don't dislike it at all. The story seems deep. I got as far as finding the dad and saving him. Now I have to fight the first tantra lady.
XV is a favorite of mine
It is a really good game. These reviewers shit on it for no reason. They never even gave it a chance. Its awesome.
With all the people saying how terrible the dialogue is, I feel ashamed to admit that it was one of the best parts for me in the demo.
I just love snarky chars, and the whole banter between the main char and her equipment makes it feel like a buddy movie (which I also enjoy).
Gameplay heavy gameplay and the gameplay delivers convinced me no need to hear more I don’t give a fuck about cutscenes and story bullshit I play a game for the enjoyments of traversal and combat I can create my own story no worries
Really enjoying this after picking it up on sale.The demo left a real sour taste but i'm glad I gave it a shot!There have been a few patches also that fix bugs and have improved image quality/lighting
Ah you liked the turd that was FFXV. Explains a lot.
Thank you. I have been arguing similar points about the world and the purpose of it in the story, while defending this game. It is nice to hear someone else appreciate it for what it is.
Just a bland overall game the world is not interesting, protagonist and dialogue is cringe, bland version of the infamous gameplay like can you blame people for hating it.
To be honest, I was on the fence about this game because I kept hearing people online say the game is so bad it’s so bad and to be honest with you I realize half these people have never made a game and I think the heat and salt probably comes from the fact that they played Final Fantasy 15 and are upset about the DLC contact that got canceled LOL and redirecting their hate to this game I mean personally to me from what I’ve seen the game delivers it looks good graphically I love the combat in the demo and I mean how do you expect somebody to act that’s been transported to a different fucking world let’s be honest I wouldn’t be a happy camper either I left my world and got transported to another world it would take time for anybody to integrate into a new place and getting a custom to what that is. I don’t think the game deserves any heat I think people are just doing it just for the sake of it
i don't like the story and voice acting, i do like the gameplay tho, it makes me wanna play it
Forspoken is Such a Underrated Game
I loved the banter between Frey and Cuff. It was cool and funny
Seeing how luminous got fired for this game. I’m pretty sure this game didn’t do well for a reason. That being said you can like a game even if it’s terrible.
Nah that game is trash.
It’s easy to be more permissive of a game’s flaws when you received a code. I’ll probably buy Forspoken, but after some heavy discounts, of course.
Uhh, good luck lol
I don't understand why people here shaming the otherside for disliking the game for having reasonable opinions. People have experiences which they will find this story to be cliché, Frey with no character development, environment feels vastly empty just to name a few. Of course people also have tastes in games so they will have a different opinion and/or likes/dislikes. Whatever people say shouldn't matter to you if you like this game or not.
But for the game company, it does matter based on the majority likes/dislikes.
