This game gives me vibes of going into a blockbuster Friday night to do my weekend game rental, see a new game with an interesting box cover, only to bring it home and play for about an hour to then realize I need to find something else to do for the weekend.
This is the most accurate thing, but with the whole video game industry rn. Only few games have been great lately, and they have no replay value except for elden ring.
I have been laughing at this game non stop, i can see where they wanted to go with this but its so clumbsy in its delivery its funny. i am not sure i would even play this if it was on game pass. 65 quid for this game is a crime. did anyone watch the full game? i gave up at 28.55.

Yep. My suspicions were confirmed - a series of anime segments interspersed with ultra linear 'game' and forced delays. All those mana pools? Goddamn what a waste of time.
AAA game devs will never learn that graphics are nothing if the game play is boring. Just look at how LONG it takes to kill non-boss mobs. The combat is so boring this game is literally just you traversing the environment until you get to the next cutscene.
7:37... she says "Dammit Fray" in the span of 15 seconds. LOL, Fray gives me Claire Redfield Vibes. 1:03:08 "Stick to the shadows" and they go to the Brightest part and out in the open. This game has some good Playstation 3 Graphics.

I’m sorry was there any hype? I barely heard anything about the game unless I sought it out. All of the trailers have been attacked for how cringe they are. And after the PC specs reveal everyone knew something was wrong with this game fundamentally and just waiting for the curtain to reveal a failure.
Lol what a friggin' crybaby. I doubt you even have the money to buy every AAA or semi big releases. There's so many AAA releases from the last 4 yrs that were astounding. Horizon FW, Elden Ring, GoW Ragnarok, to name a few from just last year. *Edit: I haven't liked what I've seen from the game either. But to claim that AAA releases can't be trusted anymore is beyond stupid.
It seems we just cant think for ourselves while playing games anymore, there must be guiding voices and augmented reality waypoints that literally reveal everything behind the walls because our feeble senses of sight and hearing are just not enough for such complex gameplay features like basic level exploration.
I wouldn't say that. It's just some of us are straight shooters and don't think of exploring except to fill out the map. Not really look for chest and collectibles. Just saying just cause it's not helpful for you doesn't mean it's not helpful for others. Like wheelchairs.
@@kissairashaegawa8555 yeah you're right I guess, it is a shooter anyway and the loots don't seem very important. What bothers me the most is actually the 3 hours of cutscenes in an 8 hour game but this could be due to this kind of movie game genre

The details on levels are much more simple than in Elden Ring, yet Forspoken has like 1.5x the system requirements. I don't know what the hell the developers of this game were doing. Even The Witcher 3 has more detailed environment and that game was released in 2015.
@@rhatzzZ Yeah. I'm currently playing Elden Ring on an RTX 3070 Ti, and at 4k resolution and all the graphic options maxed out I got 60 fps almost all the time. How much performance would I got from Forspoken at 4k/maxed out, I wonder. Like 10-15 fps? And Elden Ring looks much better.
I appreciate you Shirrako, for not only playing this fully but taking out any commentary you had during the playthrough. I feel like this game suffers from what a bunch of other games do nowadays : It sure as sugar ain't perfect, but when a bunch if people say that a game is bad and then everyone hears it online that's what they all say, no matter if they've even played the game or not. And the same goes for the other side as well, COD and the EA games are all almost the exact same game with very minute details changed yet people play buy and play every installment without question or disappointment other than a slight scene here and there. But the complaints I've heard about this game was that the dialogue was hard to listen to and constant, which you can understand if you find a bit of cursing uninteresting. But at the same time there are shows and games like Ricky and Morty and South Park and High on Life and people loved those so I don't think dialogue should be an issue. People said the game had story was bad. Which it wasn't... Like actually it was just a mid story, if you want to look deeper into it you can but at base it was just Frey wants to go home and doesn't care about the problems that are being put on her because she can manage to stop the oppression that the Tantas have. It's honestly originally not her problem, and the story tries to make you forget that, THIS was the reason that she even was helping Auden in the first place, to find a way to get home, so her eventually after having to kill 2 people turning around and saying "know what, fuck this, I'm outta here" is apart of her character and makes sense to the story. Tanta Olas popping up literally out of nowhere was probably my only gripe with the story honestly, it felt like it just happens and there's almost no reason to why she came for Frey first other than the story wanted her to die, so they could reveal the true big evil that was Cuff! Also that was a tad obvious because of his murder boner for the Tantas but they did guise it well enough for the fact that they were tyrannical and detrimental to the very few people left, it is actually a decent game imo... But hey people are entitled to like or dislike any and everything. As soon as I get my PS5 to my current living quarters, I'm definitely playing this!
I read your whole thing and it makes a lot a sense. You made some fair points. The games it’s issues like most games do, but overall I thinks it alright. I just finished the game and felt a bit of satisfaction in saving Athia in the end.
I'm watching this because I've heard of it when it got released, but didn't hear much hype after that. I've read some reviews (mostly bad) and now watched about 2 hours of this, it's definitely coming on by 'To Play' list as soon as I get the PS5 turned on. I'm not a 'Souls-like' game fan, I'm all about the story and it would be good if the combat system is not too complicated and/or involves a lot of grinding. I don't have a lot of time on my hands to afford grinding to go through games. Thanks for the gameplay @Shirrako. I wouldn't have bought it without watching this.
a person who watcher a full gameplay of a game on the interinet like you is broke and can't buy a game to play anyway. you are not fooling anybody. get a job, buy the games and support the devs instead of watching it for free.
I love how despite cuff explicitly stating he is the one with the powers, and how every time they kill a tanta, it is clearly cuff who absorbs the power, when he turns on her she tries to cast and spell and goes "huh? MY powers are gone?" It turns what's mean to be a twist into me rolling my eyes at how braindead and self centered she is to where she picks up a magic bracelet that teleports her, can cast magic, and absorbs God essense and she still goes "huh, I thought I was the special one?"
If you know who Ryota Suzuki is, he was the designer of Dragon's Dogma combat system and battle designer for FFXVI. So not out of the realm of possibility.
Capcom has absolutely no need for a game built in square enix’s bloated unoptimized engine when they have their own amazing well optimized engine to use. This game has no connection to any new dragons dogma, guaranteed.
@@zalabit927 exactly lol if only they had put more content and characters with meaningful backgrounds than number of 'Fucks' and 'Shits', the game doesn't deserve the price for the content it brings to be real.
People hating on this game and it’s not officially out yet, I learned something over the years never let others opinions affect yours, this happened to me when Death Stranding came out because of everyone was hating on the game and saying it’s boring and a walking simulation I decided not to play it but when i saw it on PS Plus Extra and i gave it a shot i can tell you that it’s one of the best games i ever played I enjoyed every single moment of it .. definitely going to give this game a shot aswell.
Yea me myself enjoy plenty of good bad game, when i was a kid i played lot of games without looking for a review first, when i grow up i was so shocked that some of my favorite game was a 5/10.
Yeah People are really shitting on this game like it did something to them personally. They nitpick like the smallets of things. "I hate the skill wheel, I hate how it is delayed for .0001 seconds, therefor -1/10". "The 1x1 pixel on the patch of grass is not in 4k, 2/10". *Insert something all moderm video games struggle with and complain why this game hasn't fixed it* It's really funny.
Yeah same with games like Days Gone for me or Callisto Protocol , despite lukewarm reviews after some people sat down and gave them a chance and devs made quick fixes a good number of people actually like them alot now , they were just unfairly dismissive before. Gamers today blindly go with whatever social media Is saying Is good or bad and dismiss what the majority dismisses , people don't have strong Individuality and a backbone to like what they like anymore.
@@harrycrime8836 Before the release of the game, looking at footage I already had my doubts if I would want to play this game. And the steep price didn't make it more attractive to me. With this full walkthrough, I saw the beginning, the end, and when seeing the end of it I thought "yeah, I'm ok with this and now I know I really don't need to buy this game". Probably in a couple of years, when the price is really low, I will buy it, play it and maybe even think back to this thinking that I was stupid in thinking it was not for me. But for now I'm content.
FYI if the main character sets out to kill someone or has been mercilessly killing for 8 hours please don't have them beg for their life when its their turn to receive a death dealing blow... Unless you are planning a cunning reversal so then its a ploy for the enemy to attack... You guys made the weakest ending and should have took notes from gohan vs cell father son kamehameha!
That was fast. Ah, so this game is an isekai version of infamous...what? And man, the alice in wonderland metaphors couldn't be more on the nose...this writing is truly something else. All that being said, this game actually turned out better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, it's still really mid and nothing amazing but it isn't as terrible as it was getting painted to be either. Definitely NOT worth its marketed price tag though.
8:20:03 She kills Cuff and she sounds so strong with her last attack, next thing the cutscene she's so exhausted and Cuff is like nothing happened to him, attacking her and Frey is weak and crying like a little bitch. I mean wtf?
Yeah cuz one is gameplay and the other is the story game, in DMC 3 I could solo Vergil without him touching me but he always defeat Dante in the ending, this is how the story goes.
People are so interesting, they so desperately want everyone else to hate what they hate and like what they like. If everyone doesnt hate what they hate, then it’s almost like it makes them feel like their hate is invalid, i hate mass effect andromeda and halo infinite and last of us 1 and 2, and death stranding, and I dont need anyone else to feel the same as I do about them. But just because i hate those games doesn’t mean that i think everyone who likes them has shit taste or “no one should buy or play or like these games”, such a weird mentality to see in the threads seeing people telling people who say they like this game that they shouldnt like it, or they should hate it, wild. These Twitter cretins and their thought police patrol have crept into our video game spaces now. Smh this is unfortunate.
I understand that and I’m not one of those people but CERTAIN games needs this attention, if it’s bad it is bad and by making others see that it is bad they won’t buy the game and the developers will see the problem with that and I dunno maybe fix their game and or make better games in the future.
@@ashkorew5405 infamous and second son were both play station hits… and at this point all gaming has become repetitive… The only new element added to all those different variations is a Melanated protagonist…mile morales caught the same shit…
@@qaddaffiuzumaki9333 Miles Morales' storyline was bad and the game really felt like a big dlc for the OG. Of course this is my opinion after getting the plat from both games. MM was just not that interesting of a game.
@@omensoffate Yea, I totally agree. I was literally sitting there in the PS Store, staring at the "confirm purchase" button while watching this. Then I read the official reviews that describe it as having a boring and cliche short campaign, a lackluster open world that's too big for its own good with almost nothing worthwhile to see, and dull enemies. Reviews called it a "grind", for sure. The top 2 rated things about the game were the "cool" magical parkour and traversal options, and the combat. In particular, they mentioned the "lovely" particle effects of the magic you cast. And that's about it... IMO, those 2 things don't warrant the spending of $75 just for the BASE game. Like others have said, this game will go on sale soon (most likely), and/or become FREE. Sooo... I'll wait till then. What with that Hogwarts game coming out in like 2 weeks, which looks SOOOOO much better and more fun than this shit, despite the fact I'm not even a "Harry Potter" fan, I'd rather wait for that and give THEM my money. Not sure about the rest of you guys, but I'm very picky about who gets my money lol. I certainly don't buy up every game I see just because some trailer made it "look cool." You can argue that games are art all you want, but not all art is good. I want that museum quality art. The type of art that art thieves want to steal lol. THOSE are the games that I'll pay full price for. And those are the devs that deserve every penny for making something GREAT. But, sadly... Not this trash. This is art you buy at a flea market, at best. 🤣
I never had high hopes from this game even as early as Q1 2022. Looked like a barren Ubisoft open world style game with FFXV combat that gets me sleepy after a few hrs
Actually the devs are the one from FFXV I was like waaaiiit a minute this whole landscape, particle effects seems familiar 😂 Even Freys sword swinging animation is from Noctis 😂
@Shirrako the only way to enjoy this game to its full potential is to mix combos, utilize all the different magic, work on dodging most attacks and keep the combat flowing and we the audience and you playing the game can have the best experience
I dont really see why people are making this out to be such a bad game. I'm glad he did a full playthrough because I dont have a PS5 and my PC can only run it at low quality because of Denuvo bull. It's not as bad as people are saying, a lot of mooks are bandwagon jumpers.
The voice of the cuff is from Huxby - the AI in Watchdogs 3. Now that I think about this, even the environment, people, and weird facial expressions and glitches remind me of that game.
About an hour of watching, doesn't seem even half as bad as people make it out to be. She talks about the same amount most people would if they had someone with them to talk to, the mechanics are smooth, the biggest issue seems to be is the overly open and empty environments. Performance issues don't really count for rating what a game is supposed to be, but it's definitely bad to release an unoptimized game.
Well, the game mechanics are okay, but the "overly open and empty environments" is only half the problem. The other is the absolutely terrible story. Video game are, at their core, a form of story telling, where the player directs the MC through their own story. And the story of Forspoken just isn't very good. The opening in New York was overlong, didn't cover the game mechanics very well, or introduce us to Frey very well. The story doesn't have a consistent central theme or plot. Frey even wants to go home, back to her cat, non-existant family, poverty, and that gang that is gunning for her and set her place on fire, destroying her money and everything else she owned.
@@fredfry5100 Yeah I've looked through playthroughs since I posted this, but the storytelling also was nowhere near as people made it out to be. Wasn't great either, but definitely not as "insanely crappy" as most people sum it up as. I think it comes down to people going more and more for a "If it's not 10/10, it's 0/10"-mindset.
4:11:00 "This is not my fight! These are not my people! I have enough blood on my hands." "If not you then who?" "I don't give a shit, just leave the fuck alone." *collapses
whos the price for? these people actually only wanted North americans and west europeans to play it because the price is half the minimum monthly wage for most countries in the world
this is a game you probably should buy on sale, probably the reviews arent that good with the embargo they put, but it you could be a fun game , and we want to see pc perfomance how it goes :O, with denuvo we never know
Man, thank you so much for playing this game. All the reviews are "meh" for this, so I was hoping to wait for a crack to try it out, but now I can just see your gameplay. Thanks again!
Thanks for the content, Shirrako. Will get this on console after a year or so. I like the gameplay, but the PC requirements don't make up for the very visible underwhelming experience.
A game so bad and terrible this should have come out in 2000 instead of 2023. The nerve of this company make a trash like this for new gen console. Truly an amazing lack of talent and creativity on the devs and the company who agreed to come up with this
Aside from the main character being a black woman, how exactly is this game, “woke”? Are black people from new york not allowed to be in video games now or something? I’m genuinely confused, is frey a gay lesbian feminist that bitches about the wage gap and mansplaining during this game? Was she race swapped? To my understanding she is an entirely new character in a new ip? Are people really only calling this woke just because the main character is black? If so, that’s a little saddening to see
What? No, everyone had a gut feeling it would be super generic. I was excited until I saw more of it. If Square Enix made the world less bland than it would be interesting. But I feel that Square Enix put more effort in FF16 than Forspoken. Plus there's no hardly any coverage from youtubers and trailers view counts were very low aside from the first trailer dropped.
@@firefoxriouyh6541 thats all nice and well but i feel like me and you are talking about completely different things, im asking what about this game is “woke”? Just because the main character isn’t a dude? Or is a minority?
I don't think the game looks good, but it's a new, full game. If we're talking about cashgrabs we're talking unnecessary remasters of games from less than a decade ago.
This game is worth it to watch simply to see normal-looking realistic modern day people dressed up in insane medieval costumes. The four tantas look like the ladies who work in the bakery down the street 💀 .. i live near hell's hitchen too 10/10 will not be able to look at my asian bagel cart dude anymore without seeing the cipal judge guy with the circle hat.
I like what I saw. I never buy full retail so I'll be waiting for a deep discount. I enjoy adventure and not having to worry about being totally annihilated by overpowered opponents as I'm running around exploring and questing. Thanks for the gameplay video. I watched just some of it to get a feel. I think the overly negative comments are uncalled for. 😎
Thanks for the playthrough. The game looks good enough, not great. Hadn't heard about it until 2 weeks ago but I seriously balked at the price, as did everyone else on Steam. Threads were getting locked and it was crazy. Disappointed the main character drops F-bombs so much only because I wanted to show my little kid, but oh well.
i just love the ending sentence with cuff. this game is so beautiful and i didnt thought that the story would get to me so much. thank you for the play through.
Could her shoes be any more plain looking? I was really hoping she would get some sort of fantasy Athia boots. Also, she looks better with her hair down, rather than up. The cloak looks really cool on the other hand.
Deng i finished watch this many days later lol.. deeply special isekai and very emotion thru all the ways till the end. Tanta Frey, a real deal isekai-er and her companion, Cuff aka Vambrace.
I did not see this game going this way... She went from a courtroom just some freaking place in Narnia on some other planet in the galaxy far far away.... lmao
Honestly I just wish they used all the money they sank into this game into the actual tried and true classic remaster/remakes and final fantasy series instead of losing money from all these flops so that they will put even less money into the games I do care about.
I actually like the little conversations she has with cuff lol game isn't as bad as ppl claims. Looks really smooth compared to the demo which is no surprise seeing how this is the actual game.
“Isn’t as bad as people claim” yeah yeah we always hear that but the truth is this game is generic af and it completely sucks shit in everything else that isn’t gameplay lol. It’s okay to admit you like playing garbage, plenty of people do the same
@@Heyoo414 well we all have our own point of view on things and thats ok. Although i will say this game is being judged harshly. If you're on the bandwagon like everyone thats cool. Enjoy the wagon ride.
@@scoop1215 to be honest it runs smooth to me. Its a big difference from looking at specs and actually playing it. Its easy to on paper and say this and that but its another thing to try it for yourself. Thats just me though.
The opening showed some promise even with the cheese dialogue. Once it got to the real game, it completely dropped the ball. I can't believe the same studio behind the underappreciated FFXV released this. It's like the Infamous series but without the proper polish, optimization, narrative and rich, vibrant world to sell it. This game needed a overhaul in it's writing and another year in the oven.

Game length 30-40 hours, this bro completed it under 9...
Paid Reviews are a joke.
Bc he speed runs them. I still like him but he plays to fast
@@chaoscontrol6755 too
30-40 hours that's unless if there any side quests or any collectibles
Maybe play the game instead of looking up it's lenght online?
Bare minimum an open world RPG like this should be 20 hrs. Especially at $70 not under 9 hrs.....
They only did the main story. No exploring or side stuff
its $93 in canada, theyve lost their minds
Just what a few years this game will be cheeper
I love how despite cuff explicitly stating he is the one with the powers, and how every time they kill a tanta, it is clearly cuff who absorbs the power, when he turns on her she tries to cast and spell and goes "huh? MY powers are gone?" It turns what's mean to be a twist into me rolling my eyes at how braindead and self centered she is to where she picks up a magic bracelet that teleports her, can cast magic, and absorbs God essense and she still goes "huh, I thought I was the special one?"
turns out she had the magic the whole time and she didnt really need cuff which is weird
Why tf didn’t she grab the bag and then save the cat? She could’ve just keep it on her shoulders.
Because they got a 12 yr old preteen girl from Japan to be a story writer 🤣
Same feel as when people go separate way in murder movies.
@campbellblk7484 How's that a problem?
this felt like a dragons dogma 2 tech practice run..
I knew I wasn't the only one thinking about dragon's dogma when looking at this game!
Bro that game will forever be lengendary. But I’d rather wait until I’m 50 and all these studios have been purged of this era of shitness
Yeah but Dragons Dogma 2 will be published by Capcom
If you know who Ryota Suzuki is, he was the designer of Dragon's Dogma combat system and battle designer for FFXVI. So not out of the realm of possibility.
Capcom has absolutely no need for a game built in square enix’s bloated unoptimized engine when they have their own amazing well optimized engine to use. This game has no connection to any new dragons dogma, guaranteed.
This speech with her mother at the end was a 10/10 missed opportunity for character development and emotional deeptalk.
If I had a dollar for every miss opportunity for character development this game parkoured past I'd be rich.
people probably clicked the right voosh because they hated the game
This is definitely one of the games ever made
not the best game, but definitely a game.
Definitely one of the games that was made not ever but made
Yeah ... A game
one of the games ever made?
The story is like a high schooler Karen wrote it over the summer vacation
its woke
It's like someone handed her over the concept of an isekai, showed some fantasy concept art and the Karen said "Yeah i could do better".

People hating on this game and it’s not officially out yet, I learned something over the years never let others opinions affect yours, this happened to me when Death Stranding came out because of everyone was hating on the game and saying it’s boring and a walking simulation I decided not to play it but when i saw it on PS Plus Extra and i gave it a shot i can tell you that it’s one of the best games i ever played I enjoyed every single moment of it .. definitely going to give this game a shot aswell.
Yea me myself enjoy plenty of good bad game, when i was a kid i played lot of games without looking for a review first, when i grow up i was so shocked that some of my favorite game was a 5/10.
@@siapitapit3605 Yeah exactly, that’s why I don’t care about the reviews until i try the game myself.
Yeah
People are really shitting on this game like it did something to them personally. They nitpick like the smallets of things. "I hate the skill wheel, I hate how it is delayed for .0001 seconds, therefor -1/10". "The 1x1 pixel on the patch of grass is not in 4k, 2/10". *Insert something all moderm video games struggle with and complain why this game hasn't fixed it*
It's really funny.
Yeah same with games like Days Gone for me or Callisto Protocol , despite lukewarm reviews after some people sat down and gave them a chance and devs made quick fixes a good number of people actually like them alot now , they were just unfairly dismissive before. Gamers today blindly go with whatever social media Is saying Is good or bad and dismiss what the majority dismisses , people don't have strong Individuality and a backbone to like what they like anymore.
But people have played this and seen it. It's crap. DS is good though.
Well, I watched the first 30 minutes, watched the last 30 minutes and I'm happy I played trough the game this way. Done, and next!.
now we wait for the next square flop
I fell asleep on the first 30 minutes after I laughed and made fun of all of that promotion for this mediocre game.
And that's exactly your problem. Sheep mentality at its finest. I guess you saw all it had to offer and based your decision of that?
@@harrycrime8836 Before the release of the game, looking at footage I already had my doubts if I would want to play this game. And the steep price didn't make it more attractive to me. With this full walkthrough, I saw the beginning, the end, and when seeing the end of it I thought "yeah, I'm ok with this and now I know I really don't need to buy this game". Probably in a couple of years, when the price is really low, I will buy it, play it and maybe even think back to this thinking that I was stupid in thinking it was not for me. But for now I'm content.
cuff is the bad guy
The game released
Shirrako: where is next
FYI if the main character sets out to kill someone or has been mercilessly killing for 8 hours please don't have them beg for their life when its their turn to receive a death dealing blow... Unless you are planning a cunning reversal so then its a ploy for the enemy to attack... You guys made the weakest ending and should have took notes from gohan vs cell father son kamehameha!
That was fast.
Ah, so this game is an isekai version of infamous...what?
And man, the alice in wonderland metaphors couldn't be more on the nose...this writing is truly something else.
All that being said, this game actually turned out better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, it's still really mid and nothing amazing but it isn't as terrible as it was getting painted to be either. Definitely NOT worth its marketed price tag though.
"The writing is something else" the word you are looking for is shit, shit writing
Don't compare this to infamous ever again

5:15:57 here you have it. Tanta Prav is speaking out what we are all thinking about our non-stop talkibg protagonist
no nazi troll
8:20:03 She kills Cuff and she sounds so strong with her last attack, next thing the cutscene she's so exhausted and Cuff is like nothing happened to him, attacking her and Frey is weak and crying like a little bitch. I mean wtf?
Yeah cuz one is gameplay and the other is the story game, in DMC 3 I could solo Vergil without him touching me but he always defeat Dante in the ending, this is how the story goes.
yah cuz he's a demon that absorbed the tantas magic and she doesnt have any that's wtf
You heard you crying in the shower lol.
Square Enix discarded it's Squaresoft roots and starting to adapt EA ideals.
Square Enix make this game?
Hard to believe this is the same company that gave us ff 7,8,9,10 and super mario rpg
People are so interesting, they so desperately want everyone else to hate what they hate and like what they like. If everyone doesnt hate what they hate, then it’s almost like it makes them feel like their hate is invalid, i hate mass effect andromeda and halo infinite and last of us 1 and 2, and death stranding, and I dont need anyone else to feel the same as I do about them. But just because i hate those games doesn’t mean that i think everyone who likes them has shit taste or “no one should buy or play or like these games”, such a weird mentality to see in the threads seeing people telling people who say they like this game that they shouldnt like it, or they should hate it, wild. These Twitter cretins and their thought police patrol have crept into our video game spaces now. Smh this is unfortunate.
Imagine If we could go back to the early 2000's Era
I understand that and I’m not one of those people but CERTAIN games needs this attention, if it’s bad it is bad and by making others see that it is bad they won’t buy the game and the developers will see the problem with that and I dunno maybe fix their game and or make better games in the future.
@@ashkorew5405 infamous and second son were both play station hits… and at this point all gaming has become repetitive… The only new element added to all those different variations is a Melanated protagonist…mile morales caught the same shit…
Yeah, the bandwagon mentality is actually just damaging the industry, not fixing it as some people have deluded themselves into.
@@qaddaffiuzumaki9333
Miles Morales' storyline was bad and the game really felt like a big dlc for the OG. Of course this is my opinion after getting the plat from both games. MM was just not that interesting of a game.
I played the demo of this and am still on the fence about buying... Let's see if experiencing some full gameplay will change my mind.
Don’t buy this trash fire
@@omensoffate lol
I'd wait till it's free on Epic
Guys get over it and give it a chance.
@@omensoffate Yea, I totally agree. I was literally sitting there in the PS Store, staring at the "confirm purchase" button while watching this. Then I read the official reviews that describe it as having a boring and cliche short campaign, a lackluster open world that's too big for its own good with almost nothing worthwhile to see, and dull enemies. Reviews called it a "grind", for sure.
The top 2 rated things about the game were the "cool" magical parkour and traversal options, and the combat. In particular, they mentioned the "lovely" particle effects of the magic you cast.
And that's about it... IMO, those 2 things don't warrant the spending of $75 just for the BASE game.
Like others have said, this game will go on sale soon (most likely), and/or become FREE. Sooo... I'll wait till then.
What with that Hogwarts game coming out in like 2 weeks, which looks SOOOOO much better and more fun than this shit, despite the fact I'm not even a "Harry Potter" fan, I'd rather wait for that and give THEM my money.
Not sure about the rest of you guys, but I'm very picky about who gets my money lol. I certainly don't buy up every game I see just because some trailer made it "look cool." You can argue that games are art all you want, but not all art is good. I want that museum quality art. The type of art that art thieves want to steal lol. THOSE are the games that I'll pay full price for. And those are the devs that deserve every penny for making something GREAT. But, sadly... Not this trash. This is art you buy at a flea market, at best. 🤣
I don't understand the hate this game is getting. I think there could have been better world progression but the story was really good.
for me, this is a wait for a price drop of 40 dollars. 40 is easier to justify than the stores in my small area selling it for 80 not counting tax.
Yeah it isn't that bad
the hate was for the weird banter with cuff and frey but you can turn that off ya know
The most interesting thing in this game is... the bracelet
even one of Elden Ring area have more life than all of this game area combined
Oh Elden Ring!
And the graphics is horrible
Yeah it's a game you wait when it goes on sale.
Thank you for this Gameplay Shirrako
Hmm I enjoyed this, just wish they made it longer.
did you choose the wrong portal
i like this game and i think the character banter back and fourth is great .
I never had high hopes from this game even as early as Q1 2022. Looked like a barren Ubisoft open world style game with FFXV combat that gets me sleepy after a few hrs
Actually the devs are the one from FFXV
I was like waaaiiit a minute this whole landscape, particle effects seems familiar 😂 Even Freys sword swinging animation is from Noctis 😂
@Shirrako the only way to enjoy this game to its full potential is to mix combos, utilize all the different magic, work on dodging most attacks and keep the combat flowing and we the audience and you playing the game can have the best experience
Thank you cause this dry as hell to watch
I dont really see why people are making this out to be such a bad game. I'm glad he did a full playthrough because I dont have a PS5 and my PC can only run it at low quality because of Denuvo bull. It's not as bad as people are saying, a lot of mooks are bandwagon jumpers.
The voice of the cuff is from Huxby - the AI in Watchdogs 3. Now that I think about this, even the environment, people, and weird facial expressions and glitches remind me of that game.
i am not surprised that we have to fight cuff at the end of the game
So what happens if she doesn't choose the last battle?
a "very" short cutscene plays.
she just goes home and credits roll
I like this game. It does start out slow, but once you get past the first beginning of it, it gets good.
Damn this UA-camr got the game early and amazing video man :]
You know it's a bad game when one of the tags and main selling points on steam is "female protagonist." This game looks rough.
Is this a joke? is this really the game from the trailer?
The Enemies are not dangerous. They just have High HP Bars, what makes them annoying. Ugh
About an hour of watching, doesn't seem even half as bad as people make it out to be.
She talks about the same amount most people would if they had someone with them to talk to, the mechanics are smooth, the biggest issue seems to be is the overly open and empty environments. Performance issues don't really count for rating what a game is supposed to be, but it's definitely bad to release an unoptimized game.
Well, the game mechanics are okay, but the "overly open and empty environments" is only half the problem. The other is the absolutely terrible story. Video game are, at their core, a form of story telling, where the player directs the MC through their own story. And the story of Forspoken just isn't very good. The opening in New York was overlong, didn't cover the game mechanics very well, or introduce us to Frey very well. The story doesn't have a consistent central theme or plot. Frey even wants to go home, back to her cat, non-existant family, poverty, and that gang that is gunning for her and set her place on fire, destroying her money and everything else she owned.
@@fredfry5100 Yeah I've looked through playthroughs since I posted this, but the storytelling also was nowhere near as people made it out to be. Wasn't great either, but definitely not as "insanely crappy" as most people sum it up as.
I think it comes down to people going more and more for a "If it's not 10/10, it's 0/10"-mindset.
have you experienced any frame drops, stutters during recording?
4:11:00
"This is not my fight! These are not my people! I have enough blood on my hands."
"If not you then who?"
"I don't give a shit, just leave the fuck alone." *collapses

A game so bad and terrible this should have come out in 2000 instead of 2023. The nerve of this company make a trash like this for new gen console. Truly an amazing lack of talent and creativity on the devs and the company who agreed to come up with this
Aside from the main character being a black woman, how exactly is this game, “woke”? Are black people from new york not allowed to be in video games now or something? I’m genuinely confused, is frey a gay lesbian feminist that bitches about the wage gap and mansplaining during this game? Was she race swapped? To my understanding she is an entirely new character in a new ip? Are people really only calling this woke just because the main character is black? If so, that’s a little saddening to see
not even a real "black" woman. she's half. look at her hair. that's not a black woman's hair 👍
What? No, everyone had a gut feeling it would be super generic. I was excited until I saw more of it. If Square Enix made the world less bland than it would be interesting. But I feel that Square Enix put more effort in FF16 than Forspoken.
Plus there's no hardly any coverage from youtubers and trailers view counts were very low aside from the first trailer dropped.
@@firefoxriouyh6541 thats all nice and well but i feel like me and you are talking about completely different things, im asking what about this game is “woke”? Just because the main character isn’t a dude? Or is a minority?

I don't get the hate, I'm 3/4 done with this game and I like it.
Probably one of the most notorious cashgrab in gaming industry.
uh sorry, think you forgot about the last of us remastered.... for ps4.
I don't think the game looks good, but it's a new, full game. If we're talking about cashgrabs we're talking unnecessary remasters of games from less than a decade ago.
This game is worth it to watch simply to see normal-looking realistic modern day people dressed up in insane medieval costumes. The four tantas look like the ladies who work in the bakery down the street 💀 .. i live near hell's hitchen too 10/10 will not be able to look at my asian bagel cart dude anymore without seeing the cipal judge guy with the circle hat.
I like what I saw. I never buy full retail so I'll be waiting for a deep discount. I enjoy adventure and not having to worry about being totally annihilated by overpowered opponents as I'm running around exploring and questing. Thanks for the gameplay video. I watched just some of it to get a feel. I think the overly negative comments are uncalled for. 😎

People were too harsh towards the game. It's not bad. And Frey is cute. It also feels like it's inspired by Mistborn book series.
Thanks for the playthrough. The game looks good enough, not great. Hadn't heard about it until 2 weeks ago but I seriously balked at the price, as did everyone else on Steam.

I did not see this game going this way... She went from a courtroom just some freaking place in Narnia on some other planet in the galaxy far far away.... lmao

The opening showed some promise even with the cheese dialogue. Once it got to the real game, it completely dropped the ball. I can't believe the same studio behind the underappreciated FFXV released this. It's like the Infamous series but without the proper polish, optimization, narrative and rich, vibrant world to sell it. This game needed a overhaul in it's writing and another year in the oven.
