Thank you for the video! I got Forspoken for 19.99, I decided to give it a try and keep an open mind, thinking the game wasn't gonna be particularly great after reading/watching so many negative reviews online... Turns out the game is stupid fun! Yes, it's not perfect, but it's so freaking entertaining! I'm now on my second playthrough, 70h+, still going strong. I genuinely feel very bad for the game, I wish more people gave it a fair chance, especially given the crazy low price you can get a copy for. It's sad to realise we may never see a sequel
DYK?: Something that almost none of the players discovered is about the 8 Necklaces that belonged to the 4 Tantas (2 each); their Physical Appearances can be Upgraded-too, revealing abilities not revealed when you first found each of them...?
This is one of the ways the enforced DIE system in media is actually hurting the people they claim to represent. Because people are so burned out and tired of it when they see a black female lead, it’s a case of ‘here we go again’ and don’t give it a chance. We are so used to it been enforced from the top down to tick boxes that there will be game developers who build from the ground up, who want to focus on their story and characters with a unique point of view from their own backgrounds. Games that would have blown up on the Indy circuit, are never going to be given a chance because of this… and that’s just sad. Take the Dungeons and Dragons movie. People saw the strong female warrior character and the male bard and just assumed that she would be girl bossing around emasculating him, because that is what has been enforced over and over. It took word of mouth for people to say - no she is as much a part of the team as him and their skills complement each other
You are right and it is sad it had to end this way. The responsibility lies squarely on the storytellers and artists who found it beneficial to force this representation garbage unaturally and ruin an entire decade of potentially timeless works. This decade will be looked back on with eye rollingly tepid apathy.
It also doesn't help that the SJWs scream and blame everyone who is tired of an agenda being shoved down their throats and not the corporations that want to reduce everything into checkboxes. There is your comment here, which was hearted by Grimp. then there is the comment above yours, which is doing exactly that, blaming everyone for being tired of games like this, also hearted by Grimp.
@@isturbo1984 I heart everyones comment because I'm glad you all commented. That's all. Rather I agree with someone or not will be shown in my actual comment if I leave one
I liked the game. I rarely beat games and I beat this one. I went into it knowing the voice acting was kind of cringey so I switched it to Japanese and Sub and it was fine. The only bad things I can say about this game is the intro is very slow and exploration isn't rewarding... like you'll climb up a mountain and open a chest only to get crafting materials
yeah and the banter never really was banter and she was pretty mean to cuff most of the time like for no reason and I can say that the landscaped looked barren for me
I think this is just a matter of preference. I got 60 hours into Mass Effect Andromeda before I realized how little I knew about the story and worse yet how little I cared. I don’t think Forspoken is a victim of the times man it’s just not as good as it should’ve been
I liked Andromeda but my experience wasn't buggy. If you played forespoken and didn't like it fair enough. Problem is most didn't and many that did really didn't know how to play and even though the game does a good job of explaining it's controls it's still unorthodox compared to other shooters. Many people are used to familiar ways of play and the fact I been gaming for over 20 years and even I had to actually learn the game because it's really no other game like it says alot. The modern gamer today is just going to look at forspoken and relate it to a shooter but because it doesn't play like a traditional shooter they will say it's crap. The video was to show it's better than that if you play the actual game. Many are using the demo but the demo doesn't explain the controls as the full game does.
@@Mondoness lmao dude I genuinely enjoyed the combat and the classes were cool to switch in and out of. Any game that has a teleportation ability I’m all in on. But once I couldn’t even remember a characters name I knew it was time to wrap it up
@@Grimpachi same here I had maybe 3-4 bugs that I saw my entire play through it just never felt like a true Mass Effect. As for Forespoken I will give it another shot sometime soon cuz the visuals for the combat always caught my eye. Either way man keep up the content I’m here for it
I havent played the game yet, but from the reviews i read most people loved the gameplay, its just the story that they didnt like. The boss black chic with an attitude is also played out.
That's literally not at all her personality...... Like this is what I'm saying. I don't think these people actually played the game rather they heard what they wanted to hear. Frey is like Deacon St John to me. A character with a tragic story and lots of issues but as the game goes on they develop. There is not boss girl attitude 😂 I don't want to spoil it but that's just not true
@Grimpachi yes it is. Her tone literally never changes. She talks to the bracelet the entire time with that tone. By no means am I even trying to say that the game is woke, but that attitude seems to get annoying.
@@chrispickenpack2073 Let do this. Did you play the game. If so how long or did you beat it because many times actually most of the time her tone is sad and or frustrated because of what's happening. I didn't know boss girl meant depressed ? Typically it's a arrogant attitude. Frey is not that at all. Now there are times both her and cuff ,that's the bracelets name, act like smart asses to each other so maybe that's what you are talking about ? If so I can't name how man characters do that and it's not an issue. Aloy I would say is boss girl. Frey isn't. Like I said the writer of Uncharted 1 - 3 did this and if you liked her work before you will like it now.
@@chrispickenpack2073bro she isnt a boss chick. She's a typical new Yorker from a bad area. Her whole personality changes throughout the entire game and shows it. Thats how i know your all cap. She just from NY thats it literally.
@@Grimpachi she's mean to everyone she literally meets, she is a hypocrite, she didn't want to kill the infected 5 second ago then after 5 seconds she's like "yeah take that bitch"
Thank you for a real review! When first saw the protagonist in the trailers i knew the hate would follow. Thank you for sidestepping the noise. New subscriber.
I'd like a sequel, too; 'Forespoken' wasn't bad. Okay there are ideas that could have gone into it, but still, it's better than a lot of Haters are squawking.
@@Grimpachi Just because 'Luminous Productions' went out of business and it's parent company, 'Square Enix' reabsorbed in, doesn't mean that 'Square Enix' couldn't continue 'Forespoken'-itself; despite what everyone's saying, doesn't mean it has no potential, because it has *so* much. Have you seen/played the DLC Bonus Game, "In Tanta We Trust", yet?
I have noticed grim the majority of the hate I see from this game comes from people that haven't even played it vs the people like me and you that have actually played and beat and like yeah it's pretty good.
@@captaincrunch1707 the demo is fine however it drops you off ways along in the game and I can promise you the things I explained with how complex this combat system is you wouldn't know just being dumped that far ahead. Even I after playing the demo felt the gameplay was odd but that's because in the actual game you slowly get to know how to play vs the demo that places you far into it.
I pre-ordered the upgraded version, and I have loved it. I felt that people hated on it because of the sista, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that believes so. The conversations with cuff wasn't bad enough to trash this game.
I want to eventually try this game, cause I feel I'd really enjoy it. I probably wouldn't have paid $70 for it, but the negative reviews I've seen of this game felt very pessimistic, nitpicky, and vague about what is actually wrong with the game. I reslly feel as some people just are dogpiling it cause they saw those twitter ads way back and decided it was bad without playing it. I mean I haven't played it, but it does not look like a 3/10 game like people are making it out to be
It's a really fun game. There is a demo but it does drop you off were in the regular game you would know the controls well. So don't let that throw you off
I bought this game on sale but I’ve been interested in it since release but everyone crapped on it. As I’m playing it, yeah it has some weird pauses during cutscenes and sometimes dialogue is questionable, but I’m loving it. So I looked for a video to find someone who’s not crapping on it. Love your video, love your take, even makes me like certain things more. Also gave me some good tips to try!
Every single person I've seen talk shit about Forspoken is someone that hasn't played the game, or played for like, an hour. Imagine watching a 30 second trailer and think you're equipped to run around getting into arguments with people online with people that actually finished it. It's like reading the back of a book and thinking you're ready to judge it. Man, get outta here with that. Good video.
Streamers making fun of the game killed it. Because most casual gamers don't have their own opinion. If some PewDie praised this game it could outsell most games last year.
personally forspoken didn't catch my attention because the marketing was wack and it felt like the game didn't know whether it wanted to be a power fantasy or like a rags to riches story
This type of game is right up my alley, but the writing alone turned me away from it... Why is so much media in these last 5 years or so plagued by inexplicably bad writing? I haven't heard anyone say anything about the protagonist's identity or representation, tho I'm sure such losers exist. Vast majority seem to agree that it's a solid game but not great, and that the writing / main character are a big turn off
The story being told I felt was great. I understand that she can come off negative but the story gave a understandable reason for it along with her growing past her issues. If you ever played Days Gone that character also rubbed people wrongly but again I feel if the writers explain why someone behaves an unpleasant why while watching them grow its fine.
The games great. It was crowd mentality. I bought into it has well till i played it. It's a great game. Extremely fun gameplay, great graphics and i even thought the story was okay. The ending boss fight was awesome! The magic in the game just make you feel powerful but yet you can easily be taken out by bosses. I love the game.
I adore this game, the gameplay is really fun and i love how you feel inside Frey, how she feels weak and then get stronger over the game, i did the full story more than 10 times and i cried ending it almost all. For me is a pure masterpiece of game, and i love the way the missions are pretty concise, no random stuff of looking for gems and spend hours talking with people, just action and action all the time and the fights feel unique while the story develops, it really captivates me!
@@Grimpachi Thanks for doing this video, i was needy of seing some possitive coments about this game. I felt sick thinking this masterpiece is lost for many people just for bad critics
A review that doesn't bash one of the few games I platinumed this year? What is this craziness. The combat, the graphics, the visual style and feel of the world, the parkour and the music in Forspoken are all absolutely delightful. Yes, Frey can be a bit jarring with her attitude but eh, she's had a life and her attitude reflects her past. Yes, the banter between her and the cuff can get a bit repetitive, but just tune it down or turn it off if it bothers too much. And yes, the world is void of other people, and even though there is a lore explanation for it, it would've been nice if there was at least one other city or town somewhere out there. It's not a perfect game, I struggle to find one that is, but it is a definitive highlight of my gaming year for damn sure.
Bro I loved this game. Writing wasn't very good, but I really, really enjoyed the gameplay, and I like isekai stories tbh. I 1000% don't think the hate it got was warranted. Also, I genuinely think most people just weren't good at the movement system, and said it was bad.
I actually tried the demo for forspoken and I remember the combat being a little sluggish at first but then it got better? I love the fire sword and the shoot pebble thing that Frey had! And I was gonna get the game but the dead space remake was coming out a few days after forspoken so I got that first! Now when I get to my local BEST BUY right next to my job I can get this game! Looks interesting! (Edit) also great review!
I am one of those people that enjoy this game, definetly far from my favorites but it's some good fun. Though I heavily dissagree with some points, like, this gaming not have sensory overload? Countless times I was going to the main mission but was also putting 3-4 pins on map to create a good route for collecting stuff but was also distracted by all the materials thrown around and mana. I mean, if there is a game that overloads you with stuff to do, it's this one.
I think we just see it differently. I felt it wasn't much distracting me. Mana might be the only thing but often it was on the way to where I was going and touching it was not enough to take me from my objective
finally! when i first saw this game I was like whoaaa looks so good looks like so much fun, and then saw some reviews and everybody was like, yeah the gameplay is fun and the traversal is fun and the character is interesting but the narration just won't shut up! so it's a bad game.. But I like goofy ah narration and fun gameplay, I rather have some weird narration than just ambient sounds for hours like in ubisoft games... IDk man need to ty it for myself first but finally someone saying it's a good game, because I felt it's good , it looks amazing so idk
Thanks for watching. As for the narration it's about as frequent as any other game. Maybe even less cause the main character isn't talking to herself to remind the player of something. They talk during story and in gameplay you will hear combat banter but that's it.
This was an honest damn good review of Forespoken! It’s nice to hear a reviewer give their true PERSONAL straight forward review of a game. Too many reviewers today operate from confirmation bias and basically repeat whatever the trending opinion is at the time. Thank you for this!!! Subscribing for sure 💯
@@Grimpachi The combat is NOTHING like bayonetta. Bayonetta is more fluid and actually has a variety of attacks. This game has none of that. You couldn't be more wrong
@@Grimpachi it’s not even a shooter. It’s more like just mundane gameplay with just bad mechanics. I wouldn’t even call it a shooter. It’s just a bad game No it’s not like Bayonetta or Devil may cry or any of those type of games. It’s like “hey this game isn’t good I want a refund”
@Grimpachi other than the combo counter, it feels like Infamous. Especially Infamous 2 when he has dual powers, plus a grappling hook, the Amp, and quicker traversal. But I'm really enjoying forspoken, just made it to the halfway point. My only issues are Frye and cuff's banter repeats too often, I sometimes lose track of myself with all the clutter of effects, and treasure chest rewards are so underwhelming. Great Video by the way 👍🏾
We need more people like you to speak up for Forspoken, thank you for this great video you did. I have the platinum trophy for Forspoken, and 100% completion for the DLC. I genuinely love this game, and it deserves far better treatment than it has received. I enjoyed Forspoken just as much as I did Final Fantasy 16, and Spider-man 2, two very popular PS5 releases this year. Forspoken deserves Justice.
I played it on release didnt liked it still finished it to get my value out of it. Same goes for Starfield. Im stopping pre ordering games from now on. Used to do it for like 3 yrs now and every game I pre ordered sucked in some way. Same as Forspoken. Its definetly not the worst game of this year but its also not good in my opinion. The protagonist is just so unsympathetic through and through. I mean I get that media overreacts sometimes but on this case they were mostly right.
Great review, yeah Forspoken delivers on what it promises and does it all with some really pretty VFX. The game definitely got screwed over by overzealous reviewers farming clickbait and jumping on the hate for the games protaganist.
I was ready to drag you but you interacted w the game v honestly, and i realize a lot of the people i watch i regularly criticize for not doing that, but it clearly impacts my reactions. Good video
Hidden Gem implies this game is actually Fun. This isn't one of those titles. Titles like Alunda, Hotline Miami Or something like Blasphemous or even Ghost of Tsushima would qualify. Heck Faith is an actual hidden gem. This is just overproduced and overpriced schlock.
@@michaeldeline4298 gameplay is mundane and not expansive, storyline is bland and just poorly told and the main character is unlikable with no redeeming qualities. It’s objectively a bad game. Theres a reason why this game is critically panned while titles like dmc or Bayonetta ot even god of war get much better reviews
I don't give attention to anti woke click bait. I just played the demo and wasn't very impressed so I just forgot about it. I'll def keep an eye out for a nice sale but have been pretty occupied with gamepass and diablo 4 lately.
your first point is like those wack game articles, like bro, NO ONE ever said "I wont buy it, she's black" it was mainly the 'strong, independent wahman troupe that did it in
You are absolutely correct. They didn't say it in those words but they did say they don't like or understand why the main character is black when most gamers are white. Then didn't buy because it's woke. A black female lead is woke to them. Read the comments people in here have said similar things that I heard and read prior to the game releasing.
nah man, i'm a white guy with white gamer friends and that was definitely a thing i know a bunch of people who didn't buy it cause that. sad and unfortunate buts it's the reality... just cause you're a good person doesn't mean everyone else is
@@DJWhylafihya says more about your friends! I am on GAB DAILY so im not new to people being raecyst, but to act like that was the majority voice is ridiculous! If that was the only factor then why is every white marvel female hero failing? or any white starwars female? it's the "we're smarter and better" attitude that will get you the axe! Look at the snowwhite reboot, velma, she-hulk. ALL REJECTED
@@nopillzplease2830 i'm friends with all types of people... the white friends said that they were only putting a black girl on it to be woke. It was a ton of people. It was also commonly talked about on reddit when it was getting released. This is known stuff brotha!
@@nopillzplease2830 my comment disappeared i think. but yea tons of people i knew thought the main character was to be woke. it was also very commonly talked about on reddit. this is all pretty known stuff... you thinking nobody said this is kind of closing me off to debate though because that's so far from reality 🤣
For a game that YOU imply was unfairly reviewed due to woke culture and exaggeration ...that was a very "woke" review. I m sick and tired of ppl justifying a game or a movie or series having bad reviews, by saying "it's a black character on the cover" "it's a girl protagonist" etc etc. Travel the world a bit.. racism is real but it only dominates very few cultures. If you are American then sure..it s a big issue. But this game bombed EVERYWHERE. Most ppl don't care if its a black character or a woman. They care for the cringe dialogue and bad gameplay. Are there worse games? Sure..but it aint a good game objectively compared to others it was competing against. Ofc its ur opinion and u should be able to say whatever you want. But saying that a black character on the cover was the 1rst and most important reason this was bombed is just untrue. This kind of review is what's wrong with reviews these days..hence the dislikes on the video if u re wondering.
The majority of the review has zero to do with that topic. Did you just watch the beginning ? I thank you for the view and dislike but yeah I'm from America and yes it's a big reason the game didn't do well here. I also said another big reason is that this game doesn't come across as something that would be complex to play and people complained about the gameplay mostly from not understanding it. So no I never said it was one reason I gave the main two reasons
@Grimpachi, it's frustrating that a small minority of loud ppl let you think that a lot of ppl have a problem with a black character. Its frustrating many ppl are confusing a dislike for fake and forced diversity with racism. The game did bad in America cuz it's bad. Idc if you saw a few toxic comments from bots and trolls and a few crazys but stop lumping ppl with valid complaints in with the handful of racist ppl hating on the game.
Racism isn't as big an issue in the US as you're led to believe. People just like to pretend it is, so they have an excuse for their failures. They can't be at fault for their bad decisions if they have racism to blame it on.
1:47 This was the first shot I saw that drove me to want to play this game, excited to FINALLY get a isekai RPG. Ignoring all the "culture war" stupidity, I played the early demo and wasn't immediately impressed. What ultimately turned me off getting it, was finding out the whole selling point (it being an isekai), wasn't true. Despite that, I still want to *eventually* play the game.
Iv recently played this game as i always ignore peoples reviews and judge for myself... I love it, combat is awsome, open world is nice i loved traversing it and i dont understand the dialogue hate, its exactly how young people speak this day and age. I would of payed full price if i had the money at the time 👊
Why is every single user here thinking and writing like grade schoolers? If The Last of Us Part II got love for fuckin' "Bigot Sandwich", then almost all users who speak negatively or just push the whole "gAmE BaD" are awfully hipocritical. If you are among those who can't accept that there are those who chose to love this game warts and all, then accept the fact that you are the biggest ass-kissers for trash games that are below-grade or beyond the price-tag that proves that buying games are a bad investment and a waste of money. I honestly like what I see from the game, EVEN THE DIALOGUE. But the game sucks, only because it's on PS5, and I don't wanna bother building up a PC just to play a modern game that will barely be the same experience or won't be the same as playing on a PS5. Soooo, I like the game, just hate it that I can't play it. I can buy The Last of Us Part II right now for PS4, but after EVERYTHING I have seen of the game, I'd rather play Final Fantasy XIII-2, AND I HATE THAT GAME. AND IT'S SEQUEL.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there that write games off as "woke" just for having a black character on the cover or having a black lead. Just look at Spiderman. The amount of people Ive seen outraged at the idea of Peter taking a break and Miles being the main Spiderman for a while is disturbing yet not surprising.
Its kind of rough but I dont want to play as a 100lb girl that has tude. Same reason I didnt want to play last of us 2 or horizon zero dawn 2. I want to play as a badass not some sissy little girl or at least have a character creation option ya know
No there isn't. People like you... think others are label things as woke because of those arbitrary reasons like black characters. It's a projection. Every time there is propaganda shoved down our throats, whether its for activism reasons, corporate marketing or government messaging... that is why people don't like it. and if its black, you cry racist. If its LGBT, you cry phobic. And if its a woman, you cry misogyny. All the while ignoring badass female, black and lgbt characters people actually like. The truth is, this game is the result of a Japanese corporation leveraging politics and culture to make a product for Western audiences as they understand. It isn't even real Western wokism, its an interpretation of it as the Japanese see us. We do it too, like with Ghost of Tsushima. Except that game is universally loved by both Western and Japanese audiences. This game, on the other hand, was farted out by a corporation and dev team who didn't understand who they were making a product for. Which, ironically, is the same mistake Western corporations do over and over again.
Didn't want to double post, but your Spider-Man comment deserves its own rant. You are claiming Insomniac's Spider-Man isn't woke? The games that have the communist fist stray painted on the side of buildings in the game... Pride flags plastered everywhere... de-genderfied the Spanish language... from a company that thinks men can be women... you are telling me there is no agenda behind putting the white Spidey on ice? Talk about a conspiracy theory. Spider-Man isn't woke, guys! It just checks all the boxes, lol.
The game tells you where the cats will follow you when you first unlock them. They also warn you when you’re in danger, even though the music already does that. People don’t know that the best way to play is to roam the free world powering up before hitting the main mission. If you have the patience, Forspoken is the sleeper hit on 2023.
Thanks for reassuring that this is currently worth the price as I did picked it up for black friday digital on ps5. For anyone reading this, the game has great really fast paced action & immersion. Also awesome music to accommodate the theme, even kind of Skyrim vibes. I got it half price but easily could've paid full price in Nov 2023 and not disappointed at all. I waited and was worth it.
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.
I’ve played and beaten the game and I’ve been trying to tell people this game is actually pretty good and I keep getting attacked by people that never played it.
Well I played it and I’ll tell you what the games is incredibly bad. They had potential to be good but when you have a team of terrible racist writers that have more political takes than takes on how to make the game better then u get game like this. The game was extremely repetitive. Specially after beating it. Nothing to do but run around. The parkour can be fun and amazing to look at. The boss fights was alright ig. Everything else sucked. Cuff sucked because he had terrible dialogue but he could’ve been likable. The protagonist is a bitch you’ll see now in today era who is everything a hero isn’t. One min stealing and working with gangs to telling an entire town she doesn’t care if they die throughout the entire game and extremely selfish. Nothing to sympathize with. Even I will say seeing children die in games is bad but then again just got into this new world and only talk to the kid once for like several minutes. Now she wants to kill someone and change her mind on killing ppl after killing her but doesn’t care if an entire village dies. They try to make her look like she cares but all she come across as is a bitch and when she isn’t it’s out of no where do u know the writing is bad asf. It’s so bad I could understand why cuff was evil I’d turn evil if I had to listen to that thing all day 2. All characters are ugly and uninteresting. What about her mom that for some reason didn’t turn evil while pregnant but when she wasn’t she immediately came 2 and turned into a fucking dragon. One minute earlier trying to kill Faye and the next she’s just good outta no where. There mind control by cuff but wanna kill her and cuff. U can say well they wanna kill Faye and she will just take cuff and do the rest noooooo. Impossible it’s bad story writing it would make more sense if she let herself die or helped Faye or they just all came together and it’s just a mess the story is incredible at being one of the worst stories characters and character designs in gaming history. Only thing this game got is possibly the parkour and boss fights other than that those aren’t even that good so the game should be free to play. It’s not worth anyone’s hard earned money. I wished I never bought it and that’s cuz the ability to use magic got me. Definitely a 2-10
It's TRUE that many of the hates are so so exaggerating, some supposedly "cringey" dialogue aren't that bad - like the "Did I just do that..." However, I must disagree with your point where the game is getting the hate becuz of a black woman as the main protagonist. Rather, it is the total opposite. She's made to be so unrelatable and just unlikable. They made the game so that the black woman is a total asshole. What's worse, the other black girl in the game is also a thief and was first to die. Frey's character arch to become a kind and responsible person just doesn't sell sadly.
I diss agree. Its actually pretty accurate to people I have known with trust issues that standoff behavior. The game does a great job of slowly showing her change. Even in the end she still struggles which is pretty realistic.
To the black woman thing tho. I heard enough people even someone in my comments said a black woman in this setting is an agenda. They deleted the comment or blocked me cause I don't see it anymore.
Thing is though, in theory there is nothing wrong with a character been an ass. A tough cookie New Yorker character can easily work - just look at Max Payne - and a story where a ‘street rat’ is exposed to a fantasy world and how they change one another would be interesting… I just think that people find the black boss bach character grating and played out. I wonder if they had made her more vulnerable and showed that her bravado was a mask she wore to protect her, if it would have connected with people more?
Interesting points, and I can see what you mean. Maybe I'm not compatible with her, like throughout the game, while I was feeling sympathetic and sorry for the people in the city, she just didn't care one bit, despite having nothing to go back to in NY (We know what happened to Homer). At first I felt anger like Frey when they arrested her, but after awhile, I connected more with the people, and in the next moment Frey just semi-blame Auden father's death for screwing up her ticket out of here. I can handle grumpy pessimistic defensive characters - but not this.. whatever this is.
@@maxbossaert375 i understand. Many people didn't understand Deacon from Days Gone. They do hint to Frey being standoffish as a defense mechanism. She has a hard time trusting but you see her wanting to but just can't yet. To stop from being sad over his death she focused more on not being able to leave. It wasn't blaming him but was insensitive
nah bruh youw rong on this one lol it's a victim of bad writing, could have done with 1-2 more years of development, the combat has a solid foundation for a futute game, glad you enjoyed it though
@@lynchmobb119 if you understood me do I need to correct it? But sure enjoy the little bit of dopamine you get from being a dickhead online over a tiny typo 🫂
@@Grimpachi lack of mob variety, lifeless open world and the dialogue are my major gripes still think 1-2 more years to polish up the narrative would have done them great, I would be interested in a sequel to see if they learnt from this
Its definitely wasnt ignored, it wasnt woke but the story for real wasnt the worst thing out there. But its a standard esikai and the main character has no character progression
Thank you for the view and comment but my fellow gaming brother or sister I'm going to have to disagree with the character progression part 😂. I felt her slowly getting over her trauma was well done. Even in endgame she is way more kind but still struggles cause it's not easy to get over a lifetime of depression
People act like being a homeless orphan for 21 years is something you should immediately get over. Like bro I still got trust issues from a girl who said she liked me just to eat my animal characters back in the 3rd grade. 💀
The character is way too cringy. There was a time i was excited to play this game, but after seeing how cringe the main character is and the bad writing. I knew i didn't want to waste my time despite even seeing some of its awesome fighting gameplay mechanics. Im sure ill pick it up later on when its on sale for 15.
I feel like it feels like a old game. It may suck in dialogue (not really) but it is a good game. People get caught up in games being movies & obstacle courses & shit instead of a game being a game
@@breakthecode4634 his opinion isn't right neither is mine. Personally if you gave me a bad game for free I'm not going to magically think it's good cause i personally paid nothing for it. Price is always a factor but seeing as people that never played the game are comparing it to literal garbage I find it hard to believe that garbage becomes good because the price is cheaper
Battlefield 1 had a black soldier on the front cover, nobody cared, the game was still well received and had high reviews. Blaming racism for a game failing is a cop out. If a game is good people will buy it despite the political agenda. Like Mortal Kombat 11, full of woke nonsense but the game was still a hit.
Battlefield 1 actually did get criticism because people said they made the small number of black soldiers that were in WW1 seem bigger than they were. Forspoken before it released was bashed by many because yes today to alot of people a black person in a setting they believe is for white people is "woke". People have left comments saying just that here.
@@Grimpachi It absolutely is "woke" to force black people into a game about a historical war where 99% of the people that fought and died were white men. That's the entire point of the grievance. If you want to show black people in your game so much, then dont choose to highlight a white male centric historical event and then complain that there isnt enough diversity to win your stupid BAFTA.
Bought it at launch Don't regret it, probably the most next gen i've played since the ps5 launched Would probably give it a 7 or 8 Very stable game 10/10 combat and cool traversal
Everyone in your comments is so disingenuous, it was literally hated on for being "woke" and the dialogue being "the worst thing ever" before it even came out. It was not given a chance and far right RU-vidrs who pretend to be gamers have a huge impact on the gaming community unfortunately, specifically white people... and I mean that's a lot of gamers. Was it a great game? No. Was it good but not great? I would say yes because of its massive world with things to do and find, the tons of free customization, the plot twist in the final act that I promise you no one guessed, and the combat that had very deep and rewarding progression.
Yeah I just understand people don't want to be honest that at times we let what others say sway our views. Anyone can simply google Forspoken woke or anything like that a you will see videos
@Grimpachi Yup and the dialogue wasn't good but neither is Starfield's so.... what are we talking about here? Ever notice how most reviews couldn't come up with a negative other than the dialogue? Some mentioned the barren open world but I mean if it was full would that really allow for such freeflow and fast parkour? I'm not so sure. I personally think the game is a 7-7.5/10 and I think Easy Allies gave the same score because they really dont care about "woke" crap
game is on sale this convinced me to pick it up... good video bro ... also the cover being a colored chick was 100% a problem and had people treating the game different don't let people try to say you were wrong lol I know people who didn't buy it because of that
@@Grimpachi I've lost like 4 comments on the original I posted. My comments from CNN to Fox channels stand, why not here? I'm not shadowbanned by youtube, so why are my comments on a small channel vanishing????
@nopillzplease2830 idk what you wrote but RU-vid automatically removes comments it deems "bad". I didn't even know you were having a long conversation with others. I just got this notification today. That's the only reason I know you left a comment.
I missed this review. Good on ya. I’m a big, middle aged white dude with a flat-top so I’ve have had tons and tons and tons of representation in media since I started consuming it in the 80s so I have no problem if it gets weighted the other way for a few decades for balance. But this game has fantastic design elements and 2 reviewers I’ve watched for years said the combat mechanics had much merit. Also as a seperate thing, in 3rd person games I always grow to feel towards my characters the way I would about a machine or a tool or a car that I love. Sometimes almost like a pet. They have an automatic dearness to me that is fun and makes me feel it more when the y get hurt and doesn’t matter if they’re a female or a male or whatever. I get an attachment regardless.
