Forspoken REVIEW - My Brutally Honest Opinion After 40 Hours & Is It Worth It? 

You're the dumb one then because most of those channels hate for very very good reasons that normies are too dumb to notice until they've already spent 70 dollars

Facts. Eurogamer and IGN are examples. Eurogamer titled their review as "7 reasons forspoken might be the worst game of 2023" 😕

@@divinest and it probably is

It runs at 30fps and drops to 24 most the time on my ps5 and is only barely 720p…this game is horrible and I paid for a next gen game that looks worse than ps4 games. This game isn’t good and this is a horrible review and I hope no one listens and buys this game like I did

No. A bad game deserves to be talked bad about. $75 for this type of "Next Gen" game is unacceptable. That's why companies do whatever they want with gamers.

ACG gave a thorough review of the game also if you're interested in that. He's another good reviewer, not discrediting KhrazeGaming of course.

There's multiple very good reviews and all of them agree it's a bad game. And in my opinion I agree with that 1000% square enix has some serious talent I've said that 3 times now lol. I'm not sure what they were doing with this game. But I do love this reviewer and usually agree with him

They are right tho. This is a worse infamous in a generic ubisoft checklist open World

Plenty of people have given an honest review saying it's a lackluster game.

@@dominicp9296 I could tell from the demo it wouldn't be a good game.

I bought it, played it about 5 hours, deleted it

Lol yes yes a re-release lol 😆

RE 4 will not dissapoint... And maybe wo long, dark myth wukong will definitely compete for game of the year next year

Hogwarts Legacy is incredible and engaging as heck! One of the most enjoyable game in decades and it made me become a Harry Potter fan. I can’t put the game down!

It should be called: “Mirror’s Jumper” with Force lightening and cloaks at a rate at which Fallen Order provides us with ponchos. Hogwarts Legacy is a flawless game and made me finally love the Harry Potter Universe. Forspoken can’t compete, you can just run in circles and shoot with your gauntlet and the game is repetitive and boring, on top of making me fall asleep while playing it lol.

Last one was Cyberpunk for PS4 as I thought they would stick to the quality they had with the Witcher series and I've always liked the Cyberpunk esthetic. Never again.

@@ericdugal8818 Cyberpunk was my first and last game I preordered, but to be fair, I did enjoyed that game even on release. It was far far away from quality of Witcher 3, but it was good enough for me to be worth the money.

@@ericdugal8818 Cyberpunk 2077 was and is STILL an incredible" Cyberpunk" game from the aesthetic and ambience point of view. However, they hyped it WAYYY too much. Frankly, the technical issues were completely unacceptable but the game was a pretty good RPG experience thanks to its characters and story. But again, that game was not only way too hyped but also unfinished. Even if the result isn't "too bad", i will not forgive the disgusting communication they had on it.

@@Zripas I still like the game too as it's been mostly fixed, could barely play it on release though, but just wouldn't have pre-ordered it if I had known the quality was so bad at the beginning and won't pre-order games anymore because of it.

@@ThoA45 Oh yeah, still like the game, just wouldn't have pre-ordered it as it was almost unplayable on release for me, and won't for any other games because of how bad said release was. I'll wait to see after it comes out from now on even if I like the company making it.

its ass dont buy it

save your money man

@@davidnomis9056 Did you play the game? What are your thoughts on it?

That’s what I said I just played the demo and me nd my wife love it we gonna get it I mean I see people bad mouth the game and crying because the game deluxe edition cost 94$ but then they spend 99$ on games makes me laugh

@@Yogarine I’m playing now I love it

​@@chuckrichardson83 at the very least them said content creators and streamers whom been playing games and making content for years long before the likes of you. Their reviews and critics are meaningful. They know when a game is bad and when a game is semi good but also bad. Literally there's a freaking youtube video called "Streamers react/review to Forspoken"

Mmmmhh maybe it's "Quality"? 😂

When you start it from the beginning and get to experience the main character's backstory and start to relate to her, you begin to understand the chip on her shoulder. They become more relatable and actually more likeable. The demo was fun because it dropped you in the middle of the game with lots of powers and gear and allowed you to max your character level. But that was also the main shortcoming. It dropped you right in the middle, offering very little context to Frey and her situation. It made her constant cynicism and abrasive attitude more off-putting and less bearable because there's no character development in that segment. I think a combination of cultural divide and language barriers from the writing team also posed challenges in that department. Ella Balinska is a remarkable actress and in her defense, she seemed to be doing her best with what the writers and director gave her to work with.

Just rent it

For me, the demo was awful. But I insisted on buying the game because the battle system looks awesome. And I very much enjoy playing it last night.

@Vicente Salas II you mean the manufactured chip. Yes, very moving to have the most cliché story imaginable

@johndodo2062 Everything is derivative of something no matter how little people want to admit it. It's these genre tropes that are commonplace in the isekai genre. The "Never Ending Story" effect. Social misfits, orphans or outcasts transported through the proverbial "Alice In Wonderland rabbithole". To pretend like loads of anime and JRPGs don't have tons of cliches too is just having selective memory and a double standard. Regardless, most people orphaned or outright abandoned since infancy would have that chip on their shoulder. At least most who I've known in life. Having that background is ultimately going to make someone socially awkward in most cases. Frey's character was no different. You call it "manufactured" because maybe you can't relate. But she comes around anyway and it really doesn't have any bearing on the fun factor of the game except to the most anal retentive people.

Wait for a sale ( €15-€25 max )

It's actually pretty fun....just trying to figure out what is going on

Same

It'll be on sale pretty soon considering the review bombs it's getting. PS plus in a few months. I'd wait to buy

I thought I pre ordered it, just realised its still in the cart. So, maybe I buy it later after I finished other games planned till end march

70 bucks for this.. hello no

@@drewrok78 they aren't bombs. That is such a lazy excuse for the bad scores.

I totally agree

Horizon Forbidden West feels like a chore playing but it is fun in actual gameplay. I think allot of games are like this, especially single players.

I completely agree too the story isnt the greatest but it is atleast moderately engaging. I enjoyed the gameplay a lot though, the amount of spell options you get once you unlock everything is pretty large and the traversal is really fun. Being able to do so many different things while just moving makes it so much more engaging to explore and collect things. It definitely didn't deserve the hate it got

I think a lot of it is from the IGN review which said the world is very unremarkable and largely empty.

@@BornTwizted87 it's insane people crying about "cringe dialogue" and we're playing high on life last month smh people couldn't wait to hate

@@johnm.2785 I know they get mad at every thing so must hate i my mom and dad like to say the devil is busy now

Because we're busy playing HFW, Elden Ring, GOWR. You know, ACTUAL great games. You can have your empty, mediocre garbage. This game was made for simpletons.

You liked this because it suited your views and helped you justify spending money on this average game. The review resonated with you and hence your comment, reviews aside this game is a flop and will be forgotten

I played the demo and have been watching a few reviews from different sources. Seems to me like a good game to wait for a sale. It seemed kinda fun. But AAA games are way too expensive to just be ok. I paid 70 for GoW. Is this game as good as God of War in any capacity? Is it really worth the 70 you paid?

@@ervinfakas3973 lol what a cryptic and completely pointless comment, ironically synonymous to all the obvious troll review bombing this game is getting.

@@ervinfakas3973 Man i dont even care for this game i just like checking this guys reviews but you gotta stop bullshitting people a 7/10 game is bad. I dont know what sort of mental gymnastics youre pulling in your head to justify it being a failure because it isnt a 10/10 game but get fucking real.

@@Ryley280 yup denial is strong in you. Life gets easier when you start accepting facts. So try accepting that this game unfortunately is a flop

It is when they slap a $70 price Tag on it. Dealing with horrible voice acting for decades? Lol what. You really wanna tell me titles like God of war, red dead redemption, fuckin Spiderman, horizon ZD/FW or any other next Gen titles in recent years have horrible voice acting? I think it's the most unbelievable thing that within the gaming community there's people actively lowering the high quality standards that are set by hardworking talented developers who don't have a lack of respect for the gamers. I know you wanna look at things with a veil of positive ignorance and I am cool with that. I can even get behind the game with you IF they weren't charging PREMIUM prices for SUB STANDARD products. That's not okay and it SHOULD be shamed and 🟥Enix should be discredited until they either make the game $50 or learn to develop titles and polish them in time to make their corporate greed deadline for release date.

Bro it sucks end of story

@@theOneandOnlyhomieG Do you go to the movies only to see the very best movies or do you sometimes just see a mediocre movie because it's mindless fun? I mean maybe you do now, because you know Cvid and all that, but you get what I'm saying? I don't know. I'm probably going to wait for a sale on it, but I'm just saying video games haven't had the best voice acting and stories. I'm kind of a fan of gameplay and traversal. The game looks fun to play , imo. The other cringe stuff is just funny to me.

Yeah, I get that it's bad according to most people but I just can't trust them when they are complaining about it because it's popular to do so. Not saying the game is good or bad but just saying that people are making a lot of 10 min videos talking about how bad the dialogue is because It gets views and people watching them aren't forming their own opinions since they keep seeing the same videos saying the same stuff over and over again.

@@RyuKazeko Whenever any the higher ups are in agreement, over one particular topic, it's always good to take a second look. That applies to game journalists/reviewers and goes all the way up to politicians. At the end of the day, the people we get our reviews from are an incredibly small group, who are looking to please the mob and their sponsors. If the mob has decided the game is bad, without even playing it, and then the reviewers are spewing the same sentiments? It makes you wonder if they're allowing the people who never played the game to affect their decision, so they can stay in good graces with the "fans."

Bad writing is always better if you can’t really understand what they’re saying. 🤦🏾

@@NotCharAznable 😭😭😭😭

@@NotCharAznable 🤣😂😭😂🤣

It wasn’t the voice acting the script and story board wasn’t good enough to feel connected from the jump

Ultimate buyers remorse 🧢💀

@@xiRePeNTx 🤣🤣

That’s true! It catches your attention so you can continue seeing what’s next. ( I’m new in video games).

Spiderman is way more polished

Lol not even close to Spider-Man 😂

More like 5.99😄

Too expensive for 20 hour campaign

The dialogue is HORRIBLE 😂

Stop paying $70 for games xD

For real, I’ve been playing the game a bit and honestly most of the dialogue is just inoffensive and forgettable. Only a few lines have felt cringe-y. The gameplay is fun so I’m personally enjoying it

It's not just the dialogue they're talking about. Optimization, graphics are all highly criticised.

Me too games like these i could care less about the story, if the fighting is fun and gives you a lot of options and combinations i find that to be a strong suit for a game like this, not to mention the traversal is really fun

Unless you really wanted a solid story and good character dialogue. The gameplay is a 4/5, but the story and dialogue are a 1/5. It's hard to get through at times. Plus, the beginning of the game was like a solid hour of gatekeeping before I could actually play anything meaningful.

@@MrSneakyPants it's almost like there's a tutorial that you have to get through like every other game ever

@DavisLP no. It's almost like there's an hour of nonsense plot, with terrible useless characters who are poorly acted, and a lackluster introduction to an empty world that is boring. If you like it, good for you.

@@MrSneakyPants The world really is cold, empty and boring. Look at Forbidden West's world. Completely lush and alive. Warm sun, bumblebees, dragonflies and lightning bugs, tons of animals and machines, numerous items to find. This is NOTHING like that.

@Adam Bomb Agreed. It is the last time Square Enix will get any of my money. Since the company's founder left, everything has gone downhill.

That's how it goes. If you dig it, you dig it. You're not weird for that.

Thats western gaming culture. Things dont make much sense here. Most players are braindead

Hogwarts will not like up to the hype either I would wait for a review of that 2 it will be like a 7 out of 10

@@aaronvasseur6559 Why would I have to wait for a review since you played it and gave it a 7 out of 10?

@Worst Case Scenario there are literally no micro transactions in that game, stop misinforming people 🤣

@@aaronvasseur6559 I've been far more impressed with HL then Forspoken, they barely showed anything with this game before launch, everyone knew it was gonna be bad.

If thats the case Ill buy it right now

Hmm, maybe because it's a lame game. When you have insane titles like God of War, Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, this game can't compete.

But the narrative errors shouldn't have to be fixed with dlc

@@the-annoyinator Forspoken is a WRPG with JRPG party system core. That is why it feels a bit weird. When u westernize a eastern gaming concept / easternize a western gaming idea it will never work. That is why Western RPG's are boring in general with a few exceptions since the idea itself is more materialistic rather than thought. Western narratives in all their media is dramatic and convened through setpieces and lengthy dialog so basically the environment is doing the heavy lifting not the Protag / MC and narrative tone is entirely dependent on that to progress the story. Eastern narratives in all their media do have the same kind of idea but it's delivered more philosophically which stems from the individual not from the environment for most part so the protag/MC is doing the heavy lifting for the most part along with the environment. U can see the difference in how the whole lang and cultural barrier affects something in translations , Any eastern lang has only a few syllabes and most are dialects first then written so the message is convened in short way as possible. English being written lang first then spoken has a lengthy dialog to just get to the point that is why the background of the lang plays a important role in the game's narrative especially if it's a western civilization setting for the MC.

Completely missed the point, if your story needs additional DLC to have it make sense, then you failed the first time at writing a good story

@@the-annoyinator did u get what I meant by the comment? I do kinda agree with u but again from my prev point , my original post was just a centrist feedback on the game when the gamer community collectively decided that it was pile of thrash just from narration which created a hate train that every western gamer & reviewer jumped on and vomitted the same without thinking for themselves. And said my piece on how it could be improved that's it and didn't say it *needs Dlc to make sense of plot* but to *progress the story and mature it in a different way* since damage is already done and that can't be changed.

@@ak-ub1ym People critiqued the boring combat, that only gets better near the end of the main story 7+ hours in. Dialogue even completely unrelated to the story was garbage, even the story itself was bland and predictable without the cringe narration. Acting as if all the negative feedback was from mindless reviewers who didn't want to be open minded is ironically the same thing fans of this game seem to be doing. Everyone gave the same criticisms on the game because they're so vast in it

Most of them was wanted a gow story game or something amazing

People must and need to appreciate different kind of games and combat. Some people must understand that there is no need to compare different kind of games because every game is with its own way special.

@@jakemk1660 Perhaps I haven't seen some of the reviews you're talking about, and I'm not trying to attack you for what you're saying but I don't get where this is coming from where now if people don't like a certain game, it's only because it doesn't live up to another game. I don't see how that's the case when many reviewers give breakdowns about games based on their own individual merits more often than not. I just don't understand that.

@@Xayjohns almost every review for this game is the same they go I’ve the same topics as everyone I’ve played this game for about 19 hours now and don’t see where there disagreements and disappointments are yes the dialogue is cringe at times but it grows on you and the growth between Frey and cuff learning each others worlds is great plus combat and parkour is great

@@iamconstantine5392 yes soo fucking true everyone is comparing this to gowr and soo many other ps exclusives because they think it will make the game and other games look bad

Not a problem for warframe players 😃

@@83gt_plus57 Damn maybe thats why i like this game soooo much🤣.

That’s what art is for…

Im waiting for it to go on sale

Your review was just as a good as the video 7/10 yeah that’s a good rate for what the game is

you mentioned a second game, so I’m guessing it’s definitely worth playing.

@@tnyeh It's an okay game - I'd personally wait for a sale though.

That's what's separate good from mediocre.

Hey. How are you finding the game? I am thinking of getting it at my local store it has been discounted HEAVILY. I am also torn between Atomic Heart and this.

I was actually thinking Alex Mercer from Prototype but that works too :))

@@Khrazegaming Both of those are great options and massive improvements

@@Khrazegaming alex was my first though, but it better matches the infamous series because of the electricity and all the other different elements ect. but I do prefer alex over the other 2 but I'll take any of them

Its like a mix of warframe and infamous. Cool combination. Just wish I had the PC specs to see if would enjoy it.

sh*t game is sh*t, nomatter what person you are. Quality is not subjective.

No they calling out a game if it's not good like a good reviewer should. People who sing praises for things that doesn't deserve it lacks any credibility and critical thinking skills

It's cool to enjoy something that other people don't like, but stop saying people just want to hate something. Why would somebody want to just hate a game? Y'all act like he was just sitting there saying nothing about why he didn't like it.

Yea it's good looking and the gameplay looks good to. But I'm not dieing to play the game. But I'll get asap.

Idk why you asking me?

That's not really the main twist but, yeah, that is a predictable part of the plot, it's very cliche. To be honest I actually saw the real "twist" coming because of the dialogue but somehow didn't predict the "you were from this world" trope. Kind of embarassing.

Seek help

@@BillThaPill Did you already do that?

Same guy who thought Gotham knights was pretty good so what did you expect lol

@@raimeihakke6552 it's opinion

@@raimeihakke6552 I played the free 1 hour trial of Gotham Knights on ps plus & it wasn't a bad experience at all, I stopped listening to reviews too much when Days Gone got very negative press when in fact it ended up being one of my favourite games.

Some people like this guy are hyper optimists and/or have bad tastes in games.

Remember this dude is playing on pc with a rtx 4090 and even with that monster card it looks trash

Most definitely! There is a great deal to accomplish and/or tackle, believe it or not! Besides all of the monuments, labyrinths, settlements, caves, forts, etc. that are available to visit and acquire gear/special items, I became obsessed with upgrading spells, a few cloaks and necklaces! Completing skill challenges to increase stats can absorb a great deal of your time but the effort is well worth it during combat!
