The most unrealistic part of this game is that they made a new yorker have empathy Edit:if anyone is wondering which part of the game was she ever empathetic, it was the last 10 minutes
Plot twist fray is just a homeless New Yorker that took 50 Benadryl‘s and a pound of ketamine and she’s really just overdosing on a park bench the entire game.
Actually to be realistic it would be fentanyl and benzos. I live like 4 hours away from ny. Im in pa so all the dope around here comes from NY (don't ask how I know) ... Ketamine is being found in bags that overdose victims have so they are using to cut the fet but still. Besides that I agree completely
Fun fact: this game has an option to reduce the MC's dialogue. Not the blur, or the screen size, or the graphics quality. The DIALOGUE. They knew. They fucking knew what they were doing.
I love how they unintentionally go for all the black people stereotypes. The main character is a homeless felon that never shuts up and was abandoned by her parents as a child. She also loves shoes and her painted nails give her powers. Like damn, is her favorite food fried chicken and watermelons, too?
Don't forget they all have to drop the F word all the time. Not even GTA is like that.

@@joaolima9622 The F bombs are so forced and unnecessary. In GTA for example, it's totally fine. It fits to the characters and situations. Here, it's just there because... I guess, it's cool? To be fair, I wouldn't even mind this kind of character if there was growth during the journey... But she's the same, annoying prick all the time. Very unlikable character.
Don't forget her low IQ. How'd she even finish High-school? They virtue-signaled so hard with this game that hey went in the opposite direction. Amazing.
I like to imagine in the true ending, she returned and smugly confronted the people who held her up at gunpoint, confident now that she had magic powers, only for the gang member to just shoot her because the Magic barrier didn't negate bullets.
@@DelusionalDunmer This is a better idea than just "hurr durr magic bad gun good because bullet shoot through barrier" I'm so tired of smartasses acting like a bullet would beat magic. If this was the case then all magical fantasies would eventually evolve guns instead of magical weapons. Even the Garleans from a certain other Square Enix game can't even one-shot player characters and it's only in cutscenes where a weak pistol can kill somebody.
I feel bad for the actress who played the main character. First she had a main character role for the Resident Evil series from Netflix, now she's in Forspoken. Whoever is responsible for picking her auditions needs to be fired.

@@qwerty_artist one of my favorite spin on the homeless protagonist is magnus chase, the Norse saga of the percy Jackson series. I think I’ve read every single Rick riordan book besides the Egyptian series
@@captainanus8131 it was good, I just think it was a bit too complex for it to be interesting to me. It’s more the magic and mythology rather than the actual story. That’s why I liked the other ones, as the powers were never too complicated to understand. Another good series besides Percy Jackson that I like is rangers apprentice. It’s a sort of historical fiction set in medieval Europe. It’s insanely good. That and the underland chronicles I’d recommend if you haven’t read them
I saw cuff as bad guy even earlier than you did. "Hmm... are any male characters in the game not assholes, morons or bumbling crazies? Hmm, one: Cuff sounds competent and sane. That means one thing: he's the villain."
There's never any actual foreshadowing either, unless maybe in the extra collectibles in Lore that you can miss entirely so when the Longplay I watched reached that point (that player never showed that optional stuff) I just spoke out loud "This makes no sense at all, wtf is this shit?" Somehow worse than when they made that mistake in Final Fantasy 13
Holy shit this is too true 💀 men bad!!!! Reminds me of when I watched the candyman remake where every single white character was an insane racist the dies horribly including the children. Made it easy to predict what kind of person the character would be based on their skin color the moment you saw them (definition of racism? 🤔)
48:23 "I have no sympathy for a mother who TOSSES HER BABY AWAY LIKE GARBAGE" You mean like what she does when she was a baby? Pyro unfortunately skipped the most hilarious scene where her mother just TOSSES her as a new-born baby into a portal, HEAD FIRST...
It's like how during every Phisnom stream, there's always someone asking him "Are you having fun yet" (Mostly to trigger PTSD from his first FNAF Security Breach stream)
I dont understand. Amy Hennig was one of the writers on the game, and yet the game is like it was written by a 10 year old. Like didn't she work on Uncharted? That game had pretty clever dialogue. How can the same person mess up like this?
Frey is written like someone only watched the highlight reels of Tony Stark and Spiderman being snarky dicks to the bad guys and was like "this is funny, bet it'll be even funnier if she's like this 100000% of the time."
@@mycycleminorities I think the movie industry is a bit starved for "youth abandons entire normal world for one of magic" stories. Those seem to benefit from the lack of structure that this game suffers from.
I'm surprised Pyro didn't immediately try to make some sort of Better Call Saul reference during the courtroom scene given he has the same receding hairline as Saul Goodman
@@ali32bit42 Luminous Engine was created (work began in 2012) because S-E was impressed with Unreal Engine but wanted to create their own after the failiure of their Crystal Tools Engine and also to have an engine they wouldn't have to be taught by foreigners how to use. Ironically they ended up doing that anyway with KH3, DQ11 and FF VIIR, as the Luminous Engine proved to be annoying; so much so that Yoshi P of FF XIV ended up tweaking the engine so much for FF XIV ARR (1.0 used Crystal Tools), that it barely resembled Luminous anymore (and is the engine being used for FF XVI btw), and Nomura just ditched Luminous Engine altogether for Unreal Engine for Kingdom Hearts 3 and 4, and Dragon Quest 11 also used Unreal Engine as did FF VII Remake. So only FF XV and Forespoken use Luminous Engine but it was always trying to ape Unreal engine.
its reused assets from their own engine I recognize a lot of them xD this include monsters ,buildings ,movement and gameplay ffxv would be the biggest contributor
Okay, I must admit, in the final fight when Frey says "The one fhing I do get is you're not alone! Even when you think you are..." And the boss replies "Oh spare me" that one I actually liked. Like that one line from the boss is something I actually really like. The combination of him just standing her, his dry tone of voice and him just starting blasting... Yeah, I like that.
when your main character gets held up and the first thought of everyone watching is "damn i hope they shoot her" I think you might need to go back to the drawing board on the character thing
Especially when your main character doesnt know to bite their tongue when outnumbered by a gang. She deserved the consequences of giving them lip at that moment.
"You killed a child, a little girl, her blood is on your hands" says Frey clad in her chinese child slave labor made RGB cape. Brave and stunning indeed. Chat:"You should've seen what Biden did" Lmao
@@Nobody44112 Yea I know it is a kinda dumb argument, like saying that if someone is criticizing air pollution, but still breathing that air, that means that they either are lying about it or are a hypocrite. You can be a part of something and still criticize that thing, although wearing a RGB cape isn't the same as breathing polluted air, because that's the only air one has access to, or eating unhealthy food because it's the only thing a person can afford.
@@Nobody44112 this is such a dumb quote. “Curious🤓” lolll Obviously you can criticize society while still taking part in it. Just because you criticize something doesn’t mean you hate it. Like if you said the walls on your house were old and shattered does that mean you would rather live outside?
20:46 Protip: if you have been captured by people thinking you are the aggressor, a good move is to try to deescalate the situation. Even if it doesnt get you off scott free, it's better than being openly hostile ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE OUTMATCHED. It's like giving the gang lip when they got a gun pressed against your throat. OH WAIT.

While I was watching this I looked up forspoken and one of the first things I get is an article talking about how Forspoken has such an emotional and powerful ending, has well-developed story and characters, and has a message about sacrifice (because you can't be with the cat I guess), and goes on to say "the game’s developer, Square Enix, has not confirmed a sequel, but Forspoken’s open-ended ending has left fans hoping for more. A sequel would give players the chance to continue their journey with Frey and her companions, and explore the game’s rich world even further. A Forspoken sequel, or Forspoken 2, would be a great opportunity for Square Enix to build on the mixed and critical acclaims of the first game, attracting new players and retaining existing fans. With its stunning visuals, captivating storyline, and immersive gameplay, a Forspoken 2 would be a welcome addition to the gaming world." I hate video game journalists so much
Any "fan" who liked this will forget the game few days later. I watched few videos like this. Pyro predicted "main villain" twist. Another guy just after beating the dragon predicted it's protagonists mom.Etc etc. It's just such a predictable game with shitty characters full of stereotypes. The game is just a map with plain empty looking areas where you spam abilities against brain dead AI. I don't care if people had fun playing this. They should not lie to themselves and most importantly to others that this is amazing game. Forspoken just should be Unspoken.
probably just shilling for the good graces of Squeenix so that they get invited to pre release events, as they all do. No honesty about anything, because honesty is bad for business.
I was playing Death Standing while watching this. DS was infinitely more interesting, still is. That part sucked too cause you had to waltz through BT territory to all those assholes who live up in the hills
Plus, it just felt forced and irritating. Makes me wanna do a drinking game where I take a shotmevery time she cusses just to forget im watching forspoken.
Sailor-mouth characters can work. The best example i can think of is Barret, it just makes sense. But if the only "mature" thing your character does is swear it aint it chief
@@yourdude9942 nice miss. The game isn't even comparable to how dogshit these games are. The hints were pretty annoying but that's probably my biggest issue with the game.

Fun fact: One month after this game's release, Square Enix fairly recently shutdown the studio that developed this game due to its poor reception and lacking sales.

Foreskin, caplisco protocool, badfeild 2042, all these new games are just so good and fun and amazing 😍 so happy we have such amazing developers nowadays. p.s checkout sons of the forest dropping in Feb it looks like one of the only good games this year
I love the new trend of making protagonist unlikeable, she is so condescending to the thing that si always actively helping her the “cuff” she keeps calling it that to just actually make it feel bad no one can hear it talking but her, and she still tells it to shut the f up because that will help her blend in faster?? and how when she says she fights despite no one wanting her there, WOMAN THEY ARE BEGGING FOR YOU TO STAY AND FIGHT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN!!?
Its hilarious, too. Out of the two main characters, the Cuff and Frey, the Cuff is by FAR the more likable character of the two... and he turns out to be a world-killing, genocidal murder demon!? Man, I've gotta say, that right there should tell you everything you need to know about this game. The genocidal murder demon is more likable, more relatable and interesting than the MC.
Fun fact: The war that resulted in the summoning of Susurrus is called "Purge of the Rheddig," Nobody in the story questions the implications, we are just meant to assume the nation of Tanta was 100% correct in wiping out another nation to the extreme the later summoned a demon just to get revenge for their extermination.
5:43: The game states she lives in Hell's Kitchen and that's a pretty large one bedroom. Some would consider it to be massive, especially for the city. That would be a $4500 apartment in New York and she's living there rent free and complaining.
The really weird thing is nobody ever showed up to try and drive her off. She has a fucking shoe collection and she can afford to take care of a cat, AND she has a nice looking smart phone. The fact she pisses off EVERYONE she interacts with, even when they have a GUN to her head, it's fucking impossible she was never kicked out of there by some other homeless person. That whole building would be CRAWLING with homeless people, she'd need her own fucking gun just to stay alive. Also it's a REALLY good thing the GROUP of armed thugs that FOUND HER HOME decided to really inefficiently burn the place down instead of just walking in and stabbing her or kidnapping her to take to their boss so he could, well let's be honest make her into a prostitute so he could recoup the losses from the apparently MULTIPLE jobs she botched. Every aspect of this game is done SO fucking poorly.
I could tell from the adverts that it was going to be horse shit. Unfortunately, it will still probably profit to some degree because there is always a group of drooling morons that will support anything, no matter how bad
actually I"d rather my parents catch me doing the "Saints Row 2" banging min game than play this game.. where you get laid and have to position the analog sticks 'just right' to 'get off'.. yep that's a mini game.. and it's less awkward than most of this dialog.
Every minute of this game passes and i can PHYSICALLY feel my brain trying to block out the fact that its actually happening. Nothing and i mean NOTHING makes sense.
Thats basically the norm in this current gen of crap we get Adult writers usually consists of 30 - 60 year olds that has no idea how teens - young adults talk
1:12:04 In a better written game this could be a phenomenal ending. Imagine for a second, a more likeable character with better writing who is absolutely ecstatic throughout the game that they're in this fantasy world. Truly enjoying it and becoming invested in everything about it. But she can't stay. And no matter how hard she tries, no matter how many solutions she can think of nothing works. Eventually her time is up and she gets thrown back into the real world, with a dull job, and nothing but her cat for comfort. Where does she go now? What can compare after the adventure she's been through? A normal job, a regular life. That would be hell to someone like this.
The story of FF Tactics Advanced 1 is kinda like this I guess? Or in Dr Who this is what happens to people after they finish an adventure with the Doctor Definitly an interesting field to explore in stories
what wouldve been cooler is that the story was self-aware and knew it was being obvious about the cuff being evil and also have the other witch girls say that its evil and that they want to get rid of it, but they couldve had the girl accept this because the cuff gives her cool powers, and that she doesnt care and that she wants the powers because its the first time she's ever been given autonomy and control in her life, and she doesn't want to get rid of it Shit story idea, I know, but it would be better than whatever I just watched.
It's not a bad idea at all, actually, it gives the mc motivation to become an anti-hero of sorts. Maybe though, if the cuff gave her riches or the ability to change the past or something, so it makes up for what she actually never had :p
That is good writing actually. Letting clues for ppl to pick up during the story, so they may have a chance to guess a twist before it come, or after seeing the twist be like "wow, how did I not realized that before, it was obvious" In forspoken the twist come out of nowhere, and there's no story indication of it. It feels like the writers of this game were D&D, and they wrote it just like they wrote the last seasons of GoT, making shitty twist that had no sense just to try to surprise the audience
I'm just preaching to the choir here but your suggestion is 100x better than what they used in this tax write-off. Maybe when the Cuff is free, he wouldn't kill the main chick straight away but instead keep her around as a partner and give her powers. A good example of this working is from, funnily enough, a PS3 game called Infamous 2. Where near the end you can team up with the big baddie to get a huge boost to your powers and end up ruling the world in the end.
We need to respect FromSoftware for not giving us a cutscene hell like this, at least for Elden Ring, each NPC, dialogue, boss, feels more meaningful and interesting, because you're actually hunting for lore instead of being just bombarded by it 24/7.
Also, when Elden Ring does throw cutscenes at you they are usually jaw-dropping moments that make sense to make more cinematic than the rest of the game.
I know Pyro just brought up [PROTOTYPE] in passing after seeing that kick flip attack, but it really brought up a good point: Pyro, why aren't you just playing Prototype? You can do superhuman parkour in that game too, you can have combat that isn't only shooting fairy dust, and most of all, *the protagonist barely speaks.* ...and when he does, he's actually likable.
Those one liners were very reminiscent of Life is Strange; the way you look at stuff and the main character _has to say something every time_ Thank you, Square Enix.
I mean, in that game they comment when you press a button to specifically observe something. In this game she just talks constantly whether you're trying to observe something or not.
but life is strange had a excuse as it was essentially a modern point and click adventure game the characters never shutting up was always a thing in those types of games. plus as cringe as it could get alot of the time the writing is just lightyears and lightyears ahead of forspoken in eveyway.
Frey = Chell Bracelet Angel Prick = Wheatley Witches = Personality Cores Frey's Mom = GladOs -Chell travels with Wheatley for a while before he turns evil and goes mad with power and a lust for revenge, just like bracelet and Frey -Chell has to work with GladOs (an unlikely ally and former nemesis) to beat Wheatley -bracelet British and so is Wheatley lol This game is just shitty overpriced Portal 2
"im not being selfish" uuuh but you kind of are right? like you went from a NY apartment to being worshipped and owning a magic cuff despite the imminent murder her life has like dramatically improved she really can worry about getting home later
57:00 The game could have unironically been saved if Frey died there and from there onwards you played as the edgy demon killing everyone in the world.
I’ll be honest, other than the character model I don’t see how we’d be able to notice a difference in the game. Well, on second thought the edgy killer demon probably would’ve been more like-able.
the one and only time i felt anything was when the cat saw her out the window and was so happy it was so incrediply cute it made me think of my cats and cuffs sad sigh at the end revealing hes still alive that was funny.
She basically enslaved a guy, trapping him in a bracelet AGAIN that she keeps on her person, and is clearly acting friendly to it. This is a recipe for fucking disaster all so she can selfishly PRETEND she still has a friend by enslaving and torturing him. The ending is fucking atrocious. No wonder he wants to kill them all, they're shit. I'm on his side. Team Sus.
Wow. I can't believe they legit did the "we just didn't tell you the main problem of the setting"-twist. Imagine if in Lord of the Rings no one told Frodo the ring was evil and he walked all the way to Mount Doom because the Ring told him to and right before throwing it in, the Nazgûl all show up around Frodo to say: "The ring, Frodo, it's evil. The Elves didn't tell you because you were just so fast, there was no way for them to stop you and tell you this, but now we do because you need to know what is going on, now give us the ring and stop being silly with those ideas of throwing the ring into the lava and saving your world, what would that accomplish, Frodo please see reason you little idiot with no powers. I'm all powerful, I know that you're fucked so just give me the ring and jump into the lava, please."
Worse thing is pointing out bad storylines and writing always gets the you a sexist card if the MC is a woman nowadays, you could have made this a cool game if this lead actually wanted to be in the fucking world!
Thanks for providing another major way in which this plot falls apart. So the denizens of Cipal would know about the true cause of The Break, given the Tantas' rather close relationship with the people there. But because they decided not to tell anyone close to them that Susurrus split himself into four cuffs, latched himself onto them and is in the process of driving them mad, the plot is allowed to happen. Had they actually said something, it wouldn't be a mystery to the remaining 1% of the population why they suddenly went crazy. The driving force of the central threat is led from a group of powerful sorceresses concealing the fact that they will go crazy and drive the world and the people they care about to ruin. Amazing writing.
So here's the thing; I think using games to tell a story is a good thing. I'm all for that. But the thing is, a game implies it is interactive. The player has an active role, rather than passively consuming cutscenes. Everything is scripted so hard it may as well be a visual novel or a netflix show that gets yeeted after the second season.
Plenty of AAA games have toed that line in recent years - Uncharted, Red Dead II, the new GoW games, GTA V, and the Last of Us games all have heavily scripted events with basic AI and minimal gameplay
@@ac8911 last I checked, Last of Us actually let you perform the tasks without forcing you into a cutscene whenever you did a non-linear movement. It feels like its memeing with how often it does that
I've spoke with people who said they enjoyed this game; and no meme, they unironically use the logic "You're too stupid to understand the genius writing of Forspoken"
Remember when the hero in shadow of the colossus actually liberates the evil at the end and has to pay the consequences for his actions? Yeah nowadays you have games like forspoken when you can kill everyone and still face no consequences whatsoever!

Three out of the four writers of this game were middle aged people and the fourth one was a younger woman who wrote Shadowhunters, a show based off The Mortal Instruments which was originally Harry Potter incest fanfiction created because the writer, Cassandra Clare, didn’t like Ron and Hermione getting together. What a mess of a writers tbh.
This game is truly the best Souls-like of our generation, as it saps the humanity of everyone that plays it and slowly turns them into a Hollow. Edit: This will be the only comment I make that'll get above 10 likes or something. Thanks, I guess, Internet strangers!
So this story is full of tropes we've all seen before in other media: The down on their luck orphan with no direction in life who constantly gets into trouble and dreams of a better adventure - Percy Jackson Magically being transported to a fantasy land at a convenient time - Any isekai ever Suddenly being the most popular and beloved person after a few feats of skill/dumb luck - Sword Art Online Fake version of ideal life promised to you by the baddie if you give in - God Of War Ascension Your closest ally tricks you into releasing him from his prison and is actually evil - idk, probably a sonic game The true power was inside you all along - *Insert here* Who would have thought cringey dialogue would have been the least of this game's problems?
I understand what ur trying to say but every type of media uses tropes. They're just writing memes at this point and escaping them is basically impossible
"Your closest ally tricks you into releasing him from his prison and is actually evil" is the entire point of Bioshock (and by association, System Shock 2 as well) also if you'd like other examples, Clive Barker's Jericho, Doom Eternal (I mean the Dark Lord isn't really your ally, but the whole story turns out to have been set up by him since the dawn of time so it counts?), Half-Life Alyx
i honestly feel bad for the girl who played fray, she would gave done so much better if the writing wasnt absolute shit. i hope she gets roles in other games that are better :)
I think it's hilarious that the game sets everything up for the character and she still wants to go back to that hellhole, even though the concept itself is that she is supposed to be a woman that desires for an adventure in another world, she is even reading Alice in Wonderland damn...

It’s a sort of historical fiction set in medieval Europe. It’s insanely good. That and the underland chronicles I’d recommend if you haven’t read them
I saw cuff as bad guy even earlier than you did. "Hmm... are any male characters in the game not assholes, morons or bumbling crazies? Hmm, one: Cuff sounds competent and sane. That means one thing: he's the villain."
Also he sounds white af, they couldn't let him live
There's never any actual foreshadowing either, unless maybe in the extra collectibles in Lore that you can miss entirely so when the Longplay I watched reached that point (that player never showed that optional stuff) I just spoke out loud "This makes no sense at all, wtf is this shit?"

its their own engine . but the assets are probably from megascans so its still that generic unreal look
@@ali32bit42 Luminous Engine was created (work began in 2012) because S-E was impressed with Unreal Engine but wanted to create their own after the failiure of their Crystal Tools Engine and also to have an engine they wouldn't have to be taught by foreigners how to use. Ironically they ended up doing that anyway with KH3, DQ11 and FF VIIR, as the Luminous Engine proved to be annoying; so much so that Yoshi P of FF XIV ended up tweaking the engine so much for FF XIV ARR (1.0 used Crystal Tools), that it barely resembled Luminous anymore (and is the engine being used for FF XVI btw), and Nomura just ditched Luminous Engine altogether for Unreal Engine for Kingdom Hearts 3 and 4, and Dragon Quest 11 also used Unreal Engine as did FF VII Remake.
So only FF XV and Forespoken use Luminous Engine but it was always trying to ape Unreal engine.

While I was watching this I looked up forspoken and one of the first things I get is an article talking about how Forspoken has such an emotional and powerful ending, has well-developed story and characters, and has a message about sacrifice (because you can't be with the cat I guess), and goes on to say "the game’s developer, Square Enix, has not confirmed a sequel, but Forspoken’s open-ended ending has left fans hoping for more. A sequel would give players the chance to continue their journey with Frey and her companions, and explore the game’s rich world even further.
A Forspoken sequel, or Forspoken 2, would be a great opportunity for Square Enix to build on the mixed and critical acclaims of the first game, attracting new players and retaining existing fans. With its stunning visuals, captivating storyline, and immersive gameplay, a Forspoken 2 would be a welcome addition to the gaming world." I hate video game journalists so much
Any "fan" who liked this will forget the game few days later. I watched few videos like this. Pyro predicted "main villain" twist.

5:43: The game states she lives in Hell's Kitchen and that's a pretty large one bedroom. Some would consider it to be massive, especially for the city. That would be a $4500 apartment in New York and she's living there rent free and complaining.
The really weird thing is nobody ever showed up to try and drive her off. She has a fucking shoe collection and she can afford to take care of a cat, AND she has a nice looking smart phone.
The fact she pisses off EVERYONE she interacts with, even when they have a GUN to her head, it's fucking impossible she was never kicked out of there by some other homeless person. That whole building would be CRAWLING with homeless people, she'd need her own fucking gun just to stay alive.
Also it's a REALLY good thing the GROUP of armed thugs that FOUND HER HOME decided to really inefficiently burn the place down instead of just walking in and stabbing her or kidnapping her to take to their boss so he could, well let's be honest make her into a prostitute so he could recoup the losses from the apparently MULTIPLE jobs she botched.

what wouldve been cooler is that the story was self-aware and knew it was being obvious about the cuff being evil and also have the other witch girls say that its evil and that they want to get rid of it, but they couldve had the girl accept this because the cuff gives her cool powers, and that she doesnt care and that she wants the powers because its the first time she's ever been given autonomy and control in her life, and she doesn't want to get rid of it
Shit story idea, I know, but it would be better than whatever I just watched.
It's not a bad idea at all, actually, it gives the mc motivation to become an anti-hero of sorts. Maybe though, if the cuff gave her riches or the ability to change the past or something, so it makes up for what she actually never had :p
No bro, it will be a great origin story for anti-hero story.
That is good writing actually. Letting clues for ppl to pick up during the story, so they may have a chance to guess a twist before it come, or after seeing the twist be like "wow, how did I not realized that before, it was obvious"
In forspoken the twist come out of nowhere, and there's no story indication of it. It feels like the writers of this game were D&D, and they wrote it just like they wrote the last seasons of GoT, making shitty twist that had no sense just to try to surprise the audience
I'm just preaching to the choir here but your suggestion is 100x better than what they used in this tax write-off. Maybe when the Cuff is free, he wouldn't kill the main chick straight away but instead keep her around as a partner and give her powers. A good example of this working is from, funnily enough, a PS3 game called Infamous 2. Where near the end you can team up with the big baddie to get a huge boost to your powers and end up ruling the world in the end.
We already have a game with a kinda similar ideia: Final Fantasy: Stranger of Paradise
We need to respect FromSoftware for not giving us a cutscene hell like this, at least for Elden Ring, each NPC, dialogue, boss, feels more meaningful and interesting, because you're actually hunting for lore instead of being just bombarded by it 24/7.
Also, when Elden Ring does throw cutscenes at you they are usually jaw-dropping moments that make sense to make more cinematic than the rest of the game.

despite the imminent murder her life has like dramatically improved she really can worry about getting home later
So happy to see gaming has evolved to "throwing water balloons at pigeons"
Truly one of the moments in gaming history
YESSSS!!! WE FINALLY HAVE A PIDGEON MISSION!!!! REJOICE!!!!

57:00 The game could have unironically been saved if Frey died there and from there onwards you played as the edgy demon killing everyone in the world.
I’ll be honest, other than the character model I don’t see how we’d be able to notice a difference in the game.
Well, on second thought the edgy killer demon probably would’ve been more like-able.
the one and only time i felt anything was when the cat saw her out the window and was so happy it was so incrediply cute it made me think of my cats and cuffs sad sigh at the end revealing hes still alive that was funny.
She basically enslaved a guy, trapping him in a bracelet AGAIN that she keeps on her person, and is clearly acting friendly to it.
This is a recipe for fucking disaster all so she can selfishly PRETEND she still has a friend by enslaving and torturing him.
The ending is fucking atrocious. No wonder he wants to kill them all, they're shit. I'm on his side.
Team Sus.
Throwing water balls at birds at 10 frames a second. Truly an experience worth 70 dollars.
that bracelet feels like Colossal trying to do an impression of Wheatley
EGGS ON TOAST
I knew I couldn’t be the only one who kept hearing Wheatley
Wow. I can't believe they legit did the "we just didn't tell you the main problem of the setting"-twist.
Imagine if in Lord of the Rings no one told Frodo the ring was evil and he walked all the way to Mount Doom because the Ring told him to and right before throwing it in, the Nazgûl all show up around Frodo to say: "The ring, Frodo, it's evil. The Elves didn't tell you because you were just so fast, there was no way for them to stop you and tell you this, but now we do because you need to know what is going on, now give us the ring and stop being silly with those ideas of throwing the ring into the lava and saving your world, what would that accomplish, Frodo please see reason you little idiot with no powers. I'm all powerful, I know that you're fucked so just give me the ring and jump into the lava, please."
What you wrote reads like if Amazon remade The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Oh, God, I hope I didn't jinx it.
@@ejm1225 that’s…. Literally the exact thing they have already done twice in rings of power
Worse thing is pointing out bad storylines and writing always gets the you a sexist card if the MC is a woman nowadays, you could have made this a cool game if this lead actually wanted to be in the fucking world!
Thanks for providing another major way in which this plot falls apart.
So the denizens of Cipal would know about the true cause of The Break, given the Tantas' rather close relationship with the people there. But because they decided not to tell anyone close to them that Susurrus split himself into four cuffs, latched himself onto them and is in the process of driving them mad, the plot is allowed to happen.
Had they actually said something, it wouldn't be a mystery to the remaining 1% of the population why they suddenly went crazy.
The driving force of the central threat is led from a group of powerful sorceresses concealing the fact that they will go crazy and drive the world and the people they care about to ruin. Amazing writing.
“Hey bro do you got Elden Ring?”
“Nah, but we got Elden Bracelet”
I actually wished you could play as the cuff and just annoyingly protect a new yorker in a magic world
Super mario odyssey
So here's the thing; I think using games to tell a story is a good thing. I'm all for that. But the thing is, a game implies it is interactive. The player has an active role, rather than passively consuming cutscenes. Everything is scripted so hard it may as well be a visual novel or a netflix show that gets yeeted after the second season.
It literally feels like Netflix the movie
Cinematic games are a plague on the industry. Sony deserves blame for all of this.
@@drstrangelove307 cinematic games aren’t bad shut up
Plenty of AAA games have toed that line in recent years - Uncharted, Red Dead II, the new GoW games, GTA V, and the Last of Us games all have heavily scripted events with basic AI and minimal gameplay
@@ac8911 last I checked, Last of Us actually let you perform the tasks without forcing you into a cutscene whenever you did a non-linear movement. It feels like its memeing with how often it does that
This game is proof that Ella Balinska really needs to fire her agent.
lol she was in the Resident Evil show
yeah should should fire her agent
This is definitely a game where a New Yorker called Frey is the protagonist who got isekai'd.
I've spoke with people who said they enjoyed this game; and no meme, they unironically use the logic "You're too stupid to understand the genius writing of Forspoken"
Remember when the hero in shadow of the colossus actually liberates the evil at the end and has to pay the consequences for his actions? Yeah nowadays you have games like forspoken when you can kill everyone and still face no consequences whatsoever!
İts okay you can say god of war

Because they no longer care about producing good products. All that matters is marketing and quotas, gameplay be damned.

Pyro is now part American when he refered to the creature orginally being 30 meters tall, but when it shrunk down, said 9 feet.
I never thought I'd see dialogue, characters, and a cliche-ridden plot this aggressively awful.
I didn't play the game, but I got my $70 worth of crying from laughter by watching this review.
Try not to make a female character one dimensional challenge (hard)
amazing how mobile gacha games like Nikke will throw in the most sensual and erotic design possible with an amazing voice...and pair it with a deepr, profound storyline which will make you cry
Imagine buying the base game only, and not the deluxe edition, but the base game forces you to press E just to pick up items.
Please dont give them ideas

Three out of the four writers of this game were middle aged people and the fourth one was a younger woman who wrote Shadowhunters, a show based off The Mortal Instruments which was originally Harry Potter incest fanfiction created because the writer, Cassandra Clare, didn’t like Ron and Hermione getting together.
What a mess of a writers tbh.
The normal attack is really just “Infamous”
This game is truly the best Souls-like of our generation, as it saps the humanity of everyone that plays it and slowly turns them into a Hollow.

Atleast souls like usually have some baddies, even a fucking doll looks hot. Only thing smashable here is the biblical angel god
At least this game has a coherent story even if it is awful. Way more variety in actual gameplay as well
So this story is full of tropes we've all seen before in other media:
The down on their luck orphan with no direction in life who constantly gets into trouble and dreams of a better adventure - Percy Jackson
Magically being transported to a fantasy land at a convenient time - Any isekai ever
Suddenly being the most popular and beloved person after a few feats of skill/dumb luck - Sword Art Online
Fake version of ideal life promised to you by the baddie if you give in - God Of War Ascension
Your closest ally tricks you into releasing him from his prison and is actually evil - idk, probably a sonic game
The true power was inside you all along - *Insert here*
Who would have thought cringey dialogue would have been the least of this game's problems?
Percy isn't an orphan though?
I understand what ur trying to say but every type of media uses tropes. They're just writing memes at this point and escaping them is basically impossible
You could break any story down in this way lol.
Your closest ally tricks you into releasing him from his prison and is actually evil - Bravely Default, surprisingly.
"Your closest ally tricks you into releasing him from his prison and is actually evil" is the entire point of Bioshock (and by association, System Shock 2 as well)
also if you'd like other examples, Clive Barker's Jericho, Doom Eternal (I mean the Dark Lord isn't really your ally, but the whole story turns out to have been set up by him since the dawn of time so it counts?), Half-Life Alyx
i honestly feel bad for the girl who played fray, she would gave done so much better if the writing wasnt absolute shit. i hope she gets roles in other games that are better :)
Cuff was the only character that even slightly interested me.
Mad respect for Pyro for playing this shit so we doesn't
superman no speak english
We isn't gone to play this game now pyro is play it.
English may be down 👇🏻 we up tho ⁉️⁉️🔥🔥🗣️💯🔝🔝

Ye we doesn't plays gaem
tbh i think being stuck in that weird magical world is way better than living in nyc
anything is better than nyc
Not just a fact, literally the truth
you can go there by just talking to the guy behind your home in nyc
I think it's hilarious that the game sets everything up for the character and she still wants to go back to that hellhole, even though the concept itself is that she is supposed to be a woman that desires for an adventure in another world, she is even reading Alice in Wonderland damn...
When has anyone found “young girl that is lowkey arrogant but also gets surprised by everything” appealing?
A fantasy game with a strong independent black female protagonist, and the story starts in a courtroom where said protagonist is on trial for larceny. Could they have laid the political message any thicker?
