You all obviously do not live in New York. Since when has it been accurate for a BLACK person to get off with THREE felonies in ANY state in America.

Wokeness isn't what killed it. It's just an annoyingly written protagonist that is abrasive from start to finish. EDIT to clarify: "woke" in itself is a meaningless term to neuter the impact of what is ocurring. Anti-whiteness.

@@mrscruffles801 they even had a whole movie (The Warriors) centered around that very subject. They just love to make history disappear for wokeness. Lol

@DMARS The marxist westerner will always act the same wherever they go with their obnoxious america-centric ego, whether it be in a nonwestern country or literally another world.
@DMARS Honestly, your idea of an isekai sounds more appealing than most of the isekai's in anime. 99.9% of isekai anime is pretty much a blank cardboard protagonist with god-like powers and a harem of girls always simping for him and he never faces any struggle throughout his entire journey.

Finally someone who takes her to task for being absolutely vulgar! ALOT of videos aren't aware or are forgetting to say that when the writer was changed, they added the entire opening segment and all the woke angry millenial cursing dialog was then added, but the original developers must be truly horrified at how far the character was taken and changed into the absolute most ungrateful sarcastic narcissist on the planet
I'm so sick of this Disney Marvel type quirky comedy that's spread to so many other things. It's almost never funny and is actually incredibly annoying.
@@ayandangcobo1755 I'm still playing Vice City and 360 era games for the most part. The most recently released game I played was Spider-Man Remastered so I'm a bit out of the loop.
I only saw that scene in the beginning and that was all I could take. That was absolutely awful, disgusting and stupid. This stands for everything wrong with modern entertainment, and I hate it. Also, I guess the maxed combat quips are for those people who have no inner monologue, and apparently there are a lot of people like that, so good for them...
It’s a shame because a video game where you play as a woman who teleports to a fantasy world and learns magic is a really cool concept for an open world rpg. I don’t know what the hell happened here. Wtf are you doing square? First marvel’s avengers, then Babylonian’s fall, and now this it’s starting to make me worry about the new final fantasy coming out
AI might gather from great concepts and ideas from previous games. This is just the development team self inserting what they think they are into a game. Total lack of imagination and everything being this ironic (unfunny) idealogical mess. I would trust an AI to build a better game.
The excessive reliance on 3d scanned human heads is what gives this "uncanny" feel to the characters. Human scans rarely work perfectly in 3d unless you nail the shading.
You'd think after what happened with "Beyond Two Souls" or even with what porn animaters do with character models, that the actors would be more reluctant to lend their likeness to a game.
The judge clearly let the girl go because she was same skin color it’s actually pretty accurate atleast in New York it’s hilarious they put it in the game though
You know, if the art style was a bit cartoonish, the dialogue would have been given a pass But believe or not art style sets expectations If you have a realistic art style you better have realistic dialogue or atleast a bit believable Art style with cartoon dialogue gives cringe or uncanny feeling That's the problem with a lot of triple A games
It's actually funny, if you actually count you have female Judge, female gang leaders, council women being poc from races that should not be part of the region as the first contact showed a majority being white, then who is the only council member that doesn't want to listen and want her executed, yep the white dude. Then you know this is a society led by virtuous women with great power. At this point they don't give a damn anymore. It is actually funny. In a sad way
@@isaaclevi1487 who says I'm concerned about the game at all lol Another one who gonna label people because he notices things that are clearly an agenda lol
My question is how is she not in jail or on probation with 2 felony thefts already and on the 3rd they finally offer her community service?? Tell me you don't know how the court system works without actually telling me
I guess it's because sensitive people feel like they don't represent their ugly @$$ and feel offended instead of looking at the idealized characters that inspires them to be better
Some people say it's a side effect of using face scans, but we already know actresses are being made uglier and older on purpose when those same scans are modified.
If they looked good their "audience" would find them threatening to them as a character looking good would remind them to work on themselves a bit more.
14:33 "And when this game eventually bombs..." And oh, did it bomb. In fact, it bombed so hard, it was the first of three games (ahead of Lord of the Rings: Gollum and The Day Before) to bomb hard enough to outright destroy its development studio in 2023. Steelbooks for this game have been found piled up in dumpsters. You must feel so vindicated.
" A game, that nobody likes." Why would one not like a diverse strong independent female directly from Schwabs and Soros´wokeness- thinktanks? Everyone loves that! Shoot some rainbows.... yaaaaaayyyyyy!!! 🌈🌈🌈
japan should remain that way, fuck black and white people. east asian supremacy. now idk why tf would square enix would make this shitty game but recent news tells me woke corps infiltrated their company anyway. a western company bought square enix usa or smething last i heard of. hopefully their virus dont spread towards other japanese game companies because japan is the only last haven for good genuine games that remains legendary.
You know, it does, and I didn't even get a third of the way through that game. I have beaten nearly every main-series FF game like, 5-6 times each. I stopped at 12, which I also did not finish.
Ikr that's what I've been saying. I didn't think Square Enix could do anything worse than FFXV and yet here is this crap. Hell it even looks like the setting was inspired by FFXV
you have other people who are less known than him and know when humor is boring and why God of War Ragnarok did not actually deserve GOTY (it feels boring and even I can tell)
@@Jose_Doe Because I thought it looked cool, and again, this was before I’ve seen reviews and this video and this game, I’m just gonna get him another game instead.
I'm glad you mentioned the PS3-caliber graphics. Because that was my thought exactly. The character models, and the hub city that the protag hangs around, look like they're from a particularly good-looking, late-era PS3 game. And like I commented on another channel... This game screams: a) "made by one of our junior teams" b) internally, this game was given rock-bottom priority" and c) "this was slapped together and thrown out to the wilds, just to hit quarterly revenue figures."
I'm also noticing that in many recent games, there are some where EVERY character you come across is ugly? Like, in every game where you can create your own character, like 95% of people design an attractive looking character, and the remaining 5% make silly blue afro sliders-to-the-max goofy ones... There's definitely _some_ kind of agenda, like I feel it's possibly linked the whole 'accept everyone' social politics stuff like yeah that's good I guess but it doesn't reflect reality 1:1, people just naturally gravitate and want to associate with what they find visually appealing, be it art, genre, or people...
This is 1000% true. It has everything to do with the entire “this is how normal people look, let’s celebrate it!” The truth is, we play games to escape reality. We want things that look good. As a girl I definitely choose characters base on how pretty they look.
One thing these animators don't seem to understand about human anatomy (there's more but this one stood out to me the most) is when people speak they don't lift their upper lip (so as to see the upper teeth). That's why the dialog animations look so awkward.
One of the things I noticed in the stream that bothered me was that she can run really fast in battle, but in the cutscenes she might as well be walking away from danger. LIke you hadm't just spent ten minutes using her powers in a boss fight to avoid shit like an expert
Freakin' Square and Sony: "Wanna play a game where you can be a progressive mage that does all this magic? Cool! Just wait about 2 hours where we set up the character by showing her slowly walk and go through endless cut scenes."
I think the worst thing about the game is it's price, 80 euros! Even if it was a 9/10 we shouldn't be supporting such anti consumer pricing like that. But it isn't a 9/10, its ridiculous how they can keep on making worse and worse games and charge us more and more. That's also why you shouldn't accept 70 euros, its clear they will just keep on increasing the price forever.
Why do people buy a bad game and then complain it was too expensive? Piracy is a thing. It's not legal but I don't think selling shit for people to play with is legal either and they get away with it.
I like the concept of this game more than the game itself "A sadistic anti-hero inspired by Alice in wonderland who has demon powers and talks to their pendant that gives them powers. However, it's unclear if their pendant is talking or it's all in their head."
I honestly think a lot of games that have come out for current gen consoles look worse than games that came out on last gen. Like, compare NFS 2015 to Unbound. I think 2015 looks better.
3:54 that's actually pretty normal steriotype. In the military most of the young black guys from the east coast collected expensive shoes. It's a real thing, and I honestly don't get the appeal.
Omg is that forspoken tm that epic Game where you play as a black teenager who gets teleported to a isekai world where she fights monsters?

I hope this game will show Japanese game developers that woke policy is not the answer.
Wokeness isn't what killed it. It's just an annoyingly written protagonist that is abrasive from start to finish.
EDIT to clarify: "woke" in itself is a meaningless term to neuter the impact of what is ocurring. Anti-whiteness.
Having said that, this character would've sucked regardless of the skincolor, because it was written by gems.

It’s a shame because a video game where you play as a woman who teleports to a fantasy world and learns magic is a really cool concept for an open world rpg. I don’t know what the hell happened here.

Explains why the faces look so uncanny
Big facts...
Sad thing is, most writing AI is influenced by bad fanfic writers.
AI might gather from great concepts and ideas from previous games. This is just the development team self inserting what they think they are into a game. Total lack of imagination and everything being this ironic (unfunny) idealogical mess. I would trust an AI to build a better game.
AI that "self learns" by reading trending Twitter. 😂
The excessive reliance on 3d scanned human heads is what gives this "uncanny" feel to the characters.
Human scans rarely work perfectly in 3d unless you nail the shading.

This makes FF15 look like a masterpiece.

I'm glad you mentioned the PS3-caliber graphics. Because that was my thought exactly. The character models, and the hub city that the protag hangs around, look like they're from a particularly good-looking, late-era PS3 game.
And like I commented on another channel...
This game screams:
a) "made by one of our junior teams"
b) internally, this game was given rock-bottom priority"
and
c) "this was slapped together and thrown out to the wilds, just to hit quarterly revenue figures."
Nah, well made PS3 games had better looking and animated characters.

Forspoken is the kind of game whose writing might aswell be done by 13 year old tiktokers
Tiktok is unironically based, they shat all over this game. This game was made by Twitter, for Twitter.

I'm also noticing that in many recent games, there are some where EVERY character you come across is ugly?
Like, in every game where you can create your own character, like 95% of people design an attractive looking character, and the remaining 5% make silly blue afro sliders-to-the-max goofy ones...
There's definitely _some_ kind of agenda, like I feel it's possibly linked the whole 'accept everyone' social politics stuff like yeah that's good I guess but it doesn't reflect reality 1:1, people just naturally gravitate and want to associate with what they find visually appealing, be it art, genre, or people...
Exactly bro. It’s our kids they know they can program without them raising an eyebrow
This is 1000% true. It has everything to do with the entire “this is how normal people look, let’s celebrate it!”
The truth is, we play games to escape reality. We want things that look good. As a girl I definitely choose characters base on how pretty they look.

"We have Infamous Second Son at home."
One thing these animators don't seem to understand about human anatomy (there's more but this one stood out to me the most) is when people speak they don't lift their upper lip (so as to see the upper teeth). That's why the dialog animations look so awkward.
Umm...not always true. It depends on how "tight" their upper lip is, how loudly they are speaking, and how much they enunciate.
One of the things I noticed in the stream that bothered me was that she can run really fast in battle, but in the cutscenes she might as well be walking away from danger. LIke you hadm't just spent ten minutes using her powers in a boss fight to avoid shit like an expert
L kk
Freakin' Square and Sony: "Wanna play a game where you can be a progressive mage that does all this magic? Cool! Just wait about 2 hours where we set up the character by showing her slowly walk and go through endless cut scenes."
I think the worst thing about the game is it's price, 80 euros! Even if it was a 9/10 we shouldn't be supporting such anti consumer pricing like that. But it isn't a 9/10, its ridiculous how they can keep on making worse and worse games and charge us more and more. That's also why you shouldn't accept 70 euros, its clear they will just keep on increasing the price forever.
Imagine a €70 game which is buggier than Fallout 76 and Postal 4 at launch.
Why do people buy a bad game and then complain it was too expensive? Piracy is a thing. It's not legal but I don't think selling shit for people to play with is legal either and they get away with it.
Because people keep buying
