I honestly loved this game! The only thing I was really annoyed by, was that they made this huge beautiful world, then left it completely empty. I get it was for story reasons, but I would have loved a restoring Athia campaign. I’m definitely gonna try the dlc! n.n
But like....... It's an open world game. An empty open world is a huge problem when you consider people pay 60-70 dollars for these games and expect to have something to do for some hours.
I know, right? the rest ove heard basically say this is still dlc to a bad game, but this review actually ignores the main game as much as the dlc does
This game was not crazy new or groundbreaking but I did enjoy it so I'll probably pick this up. Idk why it got as much hate as it did again not a perfect game but wasn't bad
It wasnt bad and like you i enjoyed it but i do see why it got hated on. It was otimized poorly on PC, the story wasnt good until the very end. The dialogue was also pretty bad at times
It was a good not great game, so many clowns gave it 4s and 3s simply based off the story and that is FINE for a linear game but an open world fantasy with tons to do? Not ok, most reviews didnt even mention the great dungeon boss battles that you can do or the extremely generous in game cosmetics to earn or how each spell upgrade changes your power pretty drastically. Its a 7.5/10 game and that is OK, people.
Good on this dlc for tidying up and making for a better experience. Granted, the main game isn't perfect, but most of the flack it got seemed to come from a place of people coming in expecting a certain type of game and experience, then getting bent out of shape when Forspoken turned out to different than they thought it would be. Taken on it's own merits, Forspoken isn't nearly as bad as others would have you believe, as long as you're open to the experience.
It’s is as bad as everyone says. All of the complaints are valid. It’s a bear bones game. Dead world. Incredibly repetitive gameplay. I mean they have you collecting mana like it’s Mario 64. The only way this game would be considered “okay in its own merits” would have been if the price were $40. At least then the price matches the quality
@@Notcosmonaut Which is perfectly fine. As I said, the main game isn't perfect i.e. isn't for everyone. But since you both spoke up, I'm a little confused......what do you think about the dlc? I mean, that IS what the video is about, but I don't believe I saw either of you mention it at all.........
I think the first game wasn't bad ,it gave way to the maturity to Frey and learn to leave her bad habits behind and grow she was just a kid throwing a tantrum @ first
Forspoken was highly underrated. Combat fun & fluid & tons of abilities. That's all that matters, you want great dialogue: READ A BOOK. Def. deserves a full sequel.
Just literally finished the game , put 30 hours in .. paid only 40 bucks... Not bad. Story was decent with a twist ... Gameplay is fun give it a 8 out of 10 because the performance, very unoptimized on PC otherwise I had a great time , looking forward to the dlc . Long live the tantas...
because you can play the DLC from the main menu without having to finish the game, so someone might choose to play the DLC first before playing the main game
No, there’s always a minority who like things the majority didn’t. You’ll often find the minority can be “noisier” insisting the majority are wrong. That doesn’t include you, of course, but you’ll often see comments from people insisting games like Forspoken or Calisto are not bad. In the same way, there is always a minority who don’t like what the majority love and the “noisy” ones amongst the minority insist it must be overrated. It sucks but it happens to all of us at some point.
No the haters are just way louder about it and sadly the haters are the majority but I doubt like 80-90% of them actually played it. Probably just did the usual sheep thing.
It's an okay game but for some reason in this day and age, that means it's bad and terrible to the social media generation. Just because a game may not be a masterpiece doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. Once again, it feels like many of the critics haven't even played the game themselves and just jumped on the hate bandwagon because that's the trendy thing to do.
It made 7 million in just steam sales in it's first month. Went to Wal Mart the other day and it's still 70 dollars. Usually if a game is selling underwhelming they would knock down the price after it's first week. I got farcry 6 for 30 dollars a week after launch at Wal Mart.
Picked this up on sale recently and really surprised how much i've enjoyed it! DO not go off the demo its awful and doesnt reflect the overall game and its quality! Since launch many issues have been fixed like the lighting etc... I much prefer forspoken over hogwarts and i'm pissed they wont be making a sequel as I think forspoken has the template for something quite special! Its a solid 7/10 For me and i'm really looking forward to playing this DLC.
It's not as bad as the internet would have u think. If u give it a few hours (yes some of the dialogue is cringe lol) it get really fun once u hit the open world. Plus if she is talking too much u can literally make it so she doesn't speak unless it's plot relevant via the accessibility option.
@@sion8626 bruh frey is incredibly unlikeable, shes too much of an egocentric asshole. even the twist at the end didn't feel as impactful cause thats how much of an asshole she is
@sion8626 I totally agree, I was surprisingly hooked and beat it before continuing GoW Ragnarok. The fast paced combat hooked me, and I turned the chatter down to minimal and my experience was fine. So many ppl leave out the fact that the Accessibility setting exist for players experience/enjoyment. Lol despite reviews, I had a blast and will play thru the DLC, then simply uninstall for extra space when FF16 and Diablo 4 drops
If you were indeed blown away by the first dlc trailer then you should really play it. There's a demo out if you wanna try it before buying it but it's really bad at introducing you to the game.
@@slipstream7324 I'm in a poorer part of the city, but luckily, not where the gangs are set up. I used to manage a restaurant in that area though. A lot of good kids who just needed a chance, or someone to take the time to teach.
I dont get the hate for real i played through it without any complains plot twist fun combat little bit short once you unlock new magic your path goes to the next magic and so on it would be nice to stick longer to one kind of magic for longer but theres enough to do for sure
Almost at the end of playing Forspoken l just get all the hate for this game no game is perfect and every game has flaws in it even games that get a 10 rating has flaws l love the storyline the characters the progression system the skill trees the combat system was fun the only thing for me was getting use to the combat system it took some time to get use to other than that l thought it was a great game different and unique compared to the other games out there
I for some reason keep coming back to this game as something to pick up. 🤔 I generally would love to try it, especially since you can pick this up for fairly cheap nowadays, but part of me is willing to pick it up once it ports to Xbox where I just prefer to play games, granted I know it’ll be sometime in 2025. Still though, I know this game didn’t get the best reception, I do hope whatever they do next with this franchise (if anything) is better received.
You could never really listen to reviews on this game It's something you have to experience for yourself It's like they're being paid Send hate on this game.
Forspoken is a great game with the same fun and entertaining combat mechanics Final Fantasy XV had. The beautiful and mysterious apocalyptic open world filled with exotic mutated zombies and monsters (and skeletons) gives great Witcher 3 and Final Fantasy vibes. A superb and very fluent fast-paced game with the best-looking combat mage playstyle ever. Going deeper and deeper into the corrupted wastelands to hunt down the Tantas is a great experience, love the game! 8/10 is a realistic rating for the main game and also the DLC for everyone thinking on their own instead of jumping on the stupid hate-bandwagon that is currently trying to shitstorm and destroy literally every single good AA and AAA game that got released during the last three years or so :)
@@tyleroutland435 not according to majority of reviews and players though. It ain’t gonna be winning any awards either, that’s for sure. It has some good points, and I enjoyed the parkour later in the game, but it’s a poor game overall, unfortunately.
@@tyleroutland435 I played some of it, and I will say it was fun but i just couldnt take how empty and un-captivating the story was. I literally tried to like the game more but honestly couldnt.

Threatened by a fictional character just like they are threatened by every other ethnicity. First time we don't get a basic Caucasian male as a main character, and it has to be because of politics. From The same group of people who enslaved, burned down cities from blacks. The same people who killed native Americans. Had Hispanics fighting in WW2 just to send them to Mexico afterwards. I mean Just because they were here first doesn't mean they don't belong here now Right? People who do school shootings on a regular. Same people who are involved in 70% of hate crimes.

Honestly this dlc is what forspoken should’ve been from the very beginning at least in my opinion.
Amazing how the game has held some of its value. 50$ for a brand new copy. Used one’s going for 40ish. I’m in at 20$!
