I wish they powered through. :( Wish I could have seen them react to that scene near the end of the game of Frey just being a bitch to that girl who saved her life for no reason.
We love Zach for being a strange little goblin creature, but it's worth remembering how sharp he is when it comes to writing. His reaction here (and during that stupid Saints Row game) really goes to show how switched on he is when it comes to what does and doesn't work...and just how goddamn painful it is to watch something THIS bad.
"[Kevin Smith] should get a big pussy grafted on to his chest so I can fuck it while he cries. I can deeply orgasm inside of his chest cavity while he weeps." - Psychicpebbles from Oneyplays
The combat at least is better than Hogwarts, but the script was written by a boomer that eavesdrop on their kids conversation but never actually talks to them.
In my opinion, it actually improves near the end! Uhhhhh not that it gets any good, because the first half is such a 2/10 that giving it a 4/10 for the second half doesn't even rate it as mid... Forspoken is just disappointing.
@@NothingXemnasthats probably not improvement but if you can handle the game that long your brain most likely adapting to receive all corny dialogs and stupid/cliche plots the game throw at you
I promise you that the writers didn't have any say in this; if you cross your eyes you can actually see an executive that hasn't spoken to their kids in 10 years salivating over the thought of being relatable.
Hearing Zach constantly sounding he's at his wits end with this fucking game is so damn delicious. I really want to watch their playthrough but I can't handle how fucking cringe the dialogue is. I can't, I'm just too weak.
It's funny how Psychicpebbles actually sounds like every character he's ever voiced. He never needed to create a voice because his real voice sounds like a cartoon voice. Truly unique.
Frey is the reason mute protagonists exist. No, seriouly, I'm not joking. 90% of Frey's lines of dialogue are literally the most superficial comments that go through the player's head. Good writers would realize that and think _"What's even the point? Let's just mute the protagonist and let the player come up with their own comments for their character."_ These writers, on the other hand, just decided _"Let's just make Frey say the most bland and superficial comments, as long as she adds the words 'fuck', 'shit' or 'goddamn' in the middle of the sentence."_
That's what makes the GTA Online pretty funny and interesting. They don't say a word and just express their thoughts/feelings via movement in cutscenes. Don't need a cringey "zinger" when you could just have a mute character have a smarmy look and let yourself come up with what they're saying
This exact mistake is one of the biggest mistakes made in a lot of games that could otherwise be much better, such as fallout 4. Having a voiced protagonist not only is unnecessary, it reduces the roleplay aspect to atoms and the dumbing down of the dialogue options just killed whatever atoms were left of it and reduced it to nothing. Four options with just bare minimum context to what you’re actually about to say. Even with the mod to fix that issue, the dialogue is so poorly written a lot of the time it just kills me.
What's even worse is that in the "I got to find homer first" thing, she could've taken the money and it wouldn't have hurt the plot at all because she goes into a world where that money isn't worth anything anyways, and she gets captured which could have her be rid of that money. What would've been better is if they said something like "I want to find homer, but the money is tempting" and have her walk slower with the money which means homer dies, and the player would've had to have made their own moral choice regarding keeping homer or the money, but no.
The one detail missed was, during the fire, Chris says something like “now the bag of money is going to get burned up” since they had to find the cat “first” and the next scene protagonist.exe spits out a big big disappointment quip.
I think also, there was an Alice in wonderland book they found foreshadowing the whole strange world she transports into. Probably less a prediction since it’s the main direction of the game but still agonising enough to mention in an edit like this. lmao
Whenever I watch this video I imagine a group of robed oracles looking into a big cauldron and getting genuinely angry that their stupid predictions about the world are coming true

Gonna hazard a guess that Lyle has seen enough writing that thinks it’s being clever, relatable and “OOOOOH SOOOO META!!” to just automatically predict the beats, tropes and overused lines that these hacks put out.
The best part about this, is while these episodes were getting uploaded, so was their Bramble gameplay; and it was just night and day with how in that game it kept not only going against their expectations but even going beyond them in a good way letting them do cool stuff they never thought the game would allow them to😂
Yeah, but I'm sure that would have gotten old and tiresome after a while anyway. It's why I'm glad they don't finish every single game they play. Just play enough to get what they want out of it, and if it's worth it to finish a game, because they're either genuinely enjoying the game play or there's more comedy or content to be had from it, then cool.
I love that by the end they were still perfectly predicting everything but had pretty much resigned themselves to that fate lol. Lyle's depressed "yeah..." at the end perfectly encapsulates just what a dumpster fire this game was.
Thats a kinda stupid analogy when the game already is terrible Josh Whedon writing. MCU capeshit slop makes both the Star Wars Sequels and even Prequels look like deep philosophical works writing wise.
I have a feeling they stopped playing Forspoken because there is nothing left to take away from the next hour of gameplay. And I don't blame them for it. They could close their eyes and imagine the final half of the game and get the same experience out of it.
The problem with modern western writing is that its so uttelry afraid of and detests sincerity and playing anything straight that it resorts to meta self aware humor to overcompensate. All the jokes you'd normally make on something you'd be invested in they make in the actual project be it book game movie cartoon etc that it doesnt leave room for the kind of fandom interraction outside of making fun of it.
Im honestly convinced alot of the time Companies do this because they know the temporary Internet will make the game seem exciting and controversial - making internet users play right into their hands by advertising their forgettable corporate slop for essentially free and keeping it relevant for a week.
Little known fact, Lyle was one of the writers for this game. All the cringe dialog is his. He wrote it as a joke since he didn't think it was going to be kept in, but they kept all of it. He unknowingly blocked that terrible experience out of his mind like a childhood trauma event.
Then its still forgettable slop but with a less obnoxious protagonist. Might as well play Starfield or any other Bethesda game to be bored out of your mind at that point.
How many people played this game and kept saying "OMG THE DIALOGUE IS THIS GAME WAS FREAKING MADE FOR ME!! so EPIC and QUIRKY!!" Like they saw the trailer where she said "There's flipping dragons??" and were like YES I NEED THIS GAME
Sweet Baby Inc doesnt do game writing. All they do is check an abritary quoata to make executives feel better. The game already was terribly written slop before they ever were on board.
Can’t believe there were people that defended this game. “Who cares about the writing the gameplay is good.” The gameplay is average and generic. If it was like ghost of Tsushima gameplay you probably could have ignored the writing if you didn’t already quit from it
Aka Josh Whedonism. Im praying we get another Superman IV because capeshit has become a tumor on all media writing again. As in a capeshit movie so bad it kills capeshit in the mainstream for a whole decade.
You're gonna need to make a part two. In the newest episode, they accurately predict the game's twist ending that they'll probably not play long enough to get to.
She wrote the Uncharted trilogy too, and those are pretty well-liked. She was supposed to write Uncharted 4 before Neil Druckmann basically bullied her out of the company and up until then, she said she'd never faced gender discrimination in the gaming industry.
I hate it so much whenever character in game ask questions that are literally about to get answered I also hate it when they ask questions that have already been answered or require Just a smidge of common sense to figure out. It’s a bit asinine
I genuinely wonder if they just copy and pasted some kids fanfiction but covered it up. Its written exactly like a terrible fanfic, some paralels to fifty shades of grey - which is a *Twilight fanfic* that somehow got published as actual hardback book
Its so terrible that the 'call to adventure'(aka being a fucking thief) could have been entirely avoided if Frey wasn't a moron. Not taking a literal second to pick up the bag of cash.
I love how mad they get a the writing 😂. For me forspokens writing is bad but not blood boiling bad. But then again these guys especially Zach watch a lot of movies and write scripts.

Little known fact, Lyle was one of the writers for this game. All the cringe dialog is his. He wrote it as a joke since he didn't think it was going to be kept in, but they kept all of it. He unknowingly blocked that terrible experience out of his mind like a childhood trauma event.
This game would've actually been good if the main character(so fucking annoying I forgot her name) was actually likable.
Make her not talk
@@mastertubbily1812remove her lips remove her teeth remove her larynx
Then its still forgettable slop but with a less obnoxious protagonist. Might as well play Starfield or any other Bethesda game to be bored out of your mind at that point.
Millenial writing
ayo nice F&H2 termina art
@@tayziko4801 thanks!
Nah it's more like Gen Z writing because you can see the snarky and quirky on the script.
Chris’s writer strike joke made my big belly jiggle with laughter
Imagine writing so poorly that three people making fun of you are getting your lines right.
we found the game's writers
Lol
How many people played this game and kept saying "OMG THE DIALOGUE IS THIS GAME WAS FREAKING MADE FOR ME!! so EPIC and QUIRKY!!" Like they saw the trailer where she said "There's flipping dragons??" and were like YES I NEED THIS GAME
so typical of lyle the one eyed guy to be gifted the power of foresight
The best part about these moments is that the lines they predict always happen the literal instant after they’ve finished their prediction.

"GYAAAT"
This is Sweet Baby Inc writing, people. Totaly predictable, totally garbage. No wonder this game flopped spectacularly.
Same shit every game, it's why all games feel the same now
Sweet Baby Inc doesnt do game writing. All they do is check an abritary quoata to make executives feel better. The game already was terribly written slop before they ever were on board.
@@eightcoins4401 nah bro, writing this bad might as well be all their fault. They get their mitts into everything.
Can’t believe there were people that defended this game. “Who cares about the writing the gameplay is good.” The gameplay is average and generic. If it was like ghost of Tsushima gameplay you probably could have ignored the writing if you didn’t already quit from it
The gameplay is so boring it's up there with Genshin Impact.
You will literally fall asleep
If I remember correctly, Charlie guessed the twist with the dragon correctly. I guess it goes to show how bad the writing was.
Marvel has ruined an entire generation of writing
"What's the laziest, most clichéd, and dumbest line, but its meant to be sarcasm" modern writing
Aka Josh Whedonism. Im praying we get another Superman IV because capeshit has become a tumor on all media writing again. As in a capeshit movie so bad it kills capeshit in the mainstream for a whole decade.
We are bonded - James Bonded.
Having a stronk , call a Bondulance
Bond name's the James...
It's just shows you that this game is so predictable that the guys can predict everything with this person was saying
I wish they continued this just so we could laugh at them predicting all of the game
You're gonna need to make a part two. In the newest episode, they accurately predict the game's twist ending that they'll probably not play long enough to get to.
Zack's groans of agony are the best.
This might be the worst written game ever made. No one is allowed to say Amy Hennig is anything but a hack now. Soul Reaver was a fucking accident.
She didn’t have anything to do with the dialogue.
She wrote the Uncharted trilogy too, and those are pretty well-liked. She was supposed to write Uncharted 4 before Neil Druckmann basically bullied her out of the company and up until then, she said she'd never faced gender discrimination in the gaming industry.
I hate it so much whenever character in game ask questions that are literally about to get answered
I also hate it when they ask questions that have already been answered or require Just a smidge of common sense to figure out.
It’s a bit asinine
I genuinely wonder if they just copy and pasted some kids fanfiction but covered it up. Its written exactly like a terrible fanfic, some paralels to fifty shades of grey - which is a *Twilight fanfic* that somehow got published as actual hardback book
It's even worse, if I'm remebering right over the course of the playthrough they actually call out the game's two big twists.
A fantastic example as to how shallow writing can make a game predictable and boring
The cringeworthy writing is literally more exciting than the gameplay.
Forspoken's dialogue is what people think the MCU is like, but worse somehow

“I’ve got to find Homer first!”😭
Its so terrible that the 'call to adventure'(aka being a fucking thief) could have been entirely avoided if Frey wasn't a moron. Not taking a literal second to pick up the bag of cash.
Oney is just jealous that he hasn't had the opportunity to work on a triple gay title.
He was a ghost writer for Dream Daddy.
@johnhorne3052 that's a glorified flash game
Forespokskin
I love how mad they get a the writing 😂. For me forspokens writing is bad but not blood boiling bad. But then again these guys especially Zach watch a lot of movies and write scripts.
Hearing Zach tear into a game like the saints row remake and this game absolutely kills me. I need more
In that fire, she'd be dead of smoke inhalation and the fire being too hot in seconds, because fires do not work that way.
Give these boys a Megalixer, the fact this made them both angry and frustrated is just... wow.
"Erm, did I just, like, become heckin forspoken?!"
