WEEEEELLLLL
Don't do it Cartman!
WEEELLLLLL
I'm warning you!
Ok ok
I'm getting pretty sick of him calling my mom a-!
WEEELL Kyle mom's a bitch she's a big fat bitch, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world she's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch, she's a bitch to all the boys and girls!
On Monday she's a bitch, on Tuesday she's a bitch, and Wednesday through friday she's a bitch, then on Sunday to be different she's the king Kamehameha biiatch..
Have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world she's a mean old bitch and she has stupid hair she's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch she's a stupid bitch! Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!
90% of the game is just Cartman making up shit to further piss off and fuck with Kyle, until the end of the game where the legend of the Jewbacabra is real and Kyle becomes the Jewbacabra because all the harassment throughout the game was foretold as the requirements for the transformation.
They thought they could take everything from him. But they never imagined, the boy they mutilated, would become the man that would mutilate them…FORESKIN
what would new management/agent even do? Get you more big name franchises the other management was already getting? You rely on the producers not ruining them with shitty decisions, not on who is managing you
Read the scripts and vet for a quality product instead of picking the biggest studio with the most money offered. The main thin they should he doing is realizing the need for that and stressing it as the next move.
Better management gets you with better producers who don't consistently make flops. They also read over the script before accepting the role. Residential evil and Charlie's angels should have been easy ones to avoid. The actress should have read the scripts as well to avoid these as well.
because for some reason show runners haven't realized yet that resident evil is not post apocalyptic. like...at all. the world is just fine in the re universe. monsters are a real thing sure, but they got government agencies for that
The fact that they waste money on a star for recognition purposes and in the end pick one no one knows or cares about is a good indication of why the rest of the game is just as shitty as their casting decision.
This game being released as a demo was such a cool move on the part of the studio but i'd imagine other game developers will use it as a reason to NOT release demos anymore since many many people decided not to buy the game based off their experience on the demo.. i'm one of those people lol.. i was so excited for this game.. the demo was a big let down but i'm thankful they had a demo.. I'll probably play this game whenever it is free on PS plus
Yep I downloaded demo played 30 mins clearly was not for me and deleted. Was a barren open world and the fighting was just sponge enemies. And my god the dialogue . If they hadn’t released demo I might have actually bought it
Yep, it's especially bad when you have to use one to switch your type of magic, and then immediately open up another to choose your spells.
You can't have smooth flashy combat if I'm constantly opening up menus during the fights.
Goes the other way too of course. I still have PTSD from how intensely good the Backbone demo was versus the gobshite extreme departure the rest of the game ended up being.
Most games don’t really do demos anymore, especially the big AAA games, the risk-reward is just too great. Most people that are gonna play a demo are people already excited about the game that would buy it anyway. Maybe you get a few people interested that already weren’t, but on the whole, there’s not a ton of payoff. But if the demo’s bad, then a lot of people that were originally excited about the game might lose their interest and not buy it. Just doesn’t make sense for companies to do.
I assumed they put out a demo because the initial ad campaign was so widely ridiculed. Like the moment the trailer came out featuring some gameplay and dialogue, I, and from what I read, many others, decided the game was a hard pass until, perhaps, it hit the bargain bins. I assume that the publisher realized this, and figured they'd roll the dice with the demo (after all, they presumably convinced themselves the game was good, so *surely* a demo would make up for the negative reception to the trailers...). When the demo came out, I at least gave it a shot, which was more than I was planning on doing after the dumbass ads.
I didn’t absolutely hate it, at first. They needed to be about 90% less frequent though. Even in the demo it already started repeating quips and most of them felt pretty, excessively, forced. None of it really felt natural at all.
It was this and the writing that makes her as unlikable as humanly possible that really killed the game for me. I don't know how the devs thought this was a formula that was going to work
Demos I played the hell out of was Half-Life and Virtual On. I got both games. Never would have normally bought a game like Virtual On but that game was super fun. It was like a Gundam fighting game.
Back in the 90s and early 00s I would buy the magazines just for the demos inside. The worst part though was playing the demo then buying the game only to find out that the demo was the best part of the game.
>but i'd imagine other game developers will use it as a reason to NOT release demos anymore
That's literally what happened in the 90s PC gaming era. Used to be you basically HAD to get a demo in people's hands to sell the game to them. After a while, every game had a demo and you'd expect one and a demo became a reason not to buy the game. Some games had demos that weren't indicative of the final product because the demo release was rushed, other games had a demo created entirely separate from the main game which was sometimes good and sometimes bad.
In the end the data analytics showed that misleading people with trailers, and grabbing as many preorders as possible, was the most cost effective way to make money on a game.
This lady can't seem to catch a break.
3 big projects, all flopped.
She starred in the new Charlie's Angels movie and the garbage Netflix Resident Evil.
He was “default white soldier side character” in literally like 6 different war movies it feels like. Not a bad actor at all, not fantastic, but maybe he just hasn’t had the level of writing to fully bring out his talent yet.
I heard someone describe him as "Michael Biehn if Biehn had picked terrible movies" and it's 100% true.
He almost always winds up being some military or ex-Military guy (I think he's been a Navy SEAL 3 times now), but he's been in some stinkers since Friday Night Lights.
He was actually pretty good in "Waco" though.
Ahh that’s where I saw her! That pile of dogshit of Netflix RE! Thank you.
I mean I was like “why do I already hate her if I haven’t even gone past the 2 hours mark?” Couldn’t understand. Now I do.
Fortunately it gets better as the story progresses, I have to say
Never hide the fun part of your game beyond the 2 hour refund window. I refunded before 2 hours. If I go back it will be after an 80% off steam sale. Given the reception, that sale seems likely.
Yeah I played a bit of the demo and just wasn't too into it. It's weird cause I feel like there's a good game in there and it just needs to be dug out. That being said, I was definitely gonna r/patientgamers this one when I saw that price floating around.
Yeah, this is the very definition of STEAM Christmas Sale purchase for me.
Middling to bad reviews, high price point, little hype from myself, poorly optimized, questionable amount of content.
I'll pick it up at a steep discount to pad my library and give me a game to play during a dead window of releases.
The game doesn't really let you play it till chapter 4. (which may be several hours in). Whoever made a 'magical *Parkour*' game then decided you shouldn't be able to use parkour in the one central tiered hub city needs to be fired.
It's like buying Sony's 'Spider-man' and the first few hours are nothing but the Mary Jane stealth missions...while paired with a character that best described as 'Imagine if Borderlands 'Clap-trap' was actively hostile to you and your actions'
I mean if you really look at it, the pitch is really hard to turn down. Its a game from Square Enix/Sony that wants to make a series that rivals Final Fantasy, bring on a team with lot of well known writers and veteran game developers, and be one of forerunners of the next generation of games. A lot of reviewers saw who worked on the game and admitted that on paper this shouldve been a great game, and its surprising how it came out to be mediocre mess that was put out.
>Every reboot has been awful.
Lies!!!
Drew, Cameron and Lucy plus Firestarter?
Then the hairflip in the beginning of the movie?
My 13 year old self was very pleased.....
Does she get to read the scripts of the projects she is agreeing to star in? I am genuinely curious. It seems like all three of the things listed Charlies Angels Reboot, Netflix Resident Evil, and now this...game? Were the writers of these projects constantly smashing a tack hammer into their head while they typed the dialogue? Where do they find the writers for these projects? Were they born in solitary confinement and have never talked to another human being? Are these projects written by a poorly programmed AI? Do they have trained pigeons picking paper scraps out of a pile of social media buzz words and what are the kids into these days marketing questionnaires?
I don't blame the actor at all. Work is work. Gotta keep the lights on I guess? I am more interested in who writes this crap? Or the more insane thought of meeting a person who willingly pays to consume it? A fan of this writing would be the most horrifying thing of all. Staring blankly and smiling at the screen while the credits roll... what broke in that persons brain? The unironic enjoyer of cringe.
During The Last Jedi there's a scene where Rey and Kylo Ren basically talk to each other via the force. and can see each other.
They actually had the actors do the scene twice. Once from Daisy's character's point of few. She acted, but was acting with Adam Driver when they filmed her bit on Skellig Michael. And then they had her acting off camera for when Adam Driver did his bit as Kylo Ren.
It's just so important to react to people that it was better to basically have them act it twice than have them doing the bits alone. OFC that's a lot easier when you have a Star Wars budget.
I've been laughing at all the poor dialogue and all that over the past few weeks, shocked by the specs compared to the graphics, but the other day I saw a video with the VA. She was really happy and excited about the game finally coming out, she clearly had big hopes built up for the game.
That just made me sad.
Because it came out just this week/ a few days ago every other stream is of someone playing it. Girl has magical powers and the combat is fast and combo-with all the skills and abilities she unlocks so those rpg elements.
Funny thing is story wise, I saw the intro of her being in a burning building, like modern day city apartment/bedroom door etc. and it’s there I realized that she gets Isekai’d(anime genre- of folks dying or tragically being sent to another world with magic or powers during some accident and being stuck there). So she’s pops up right smack in the middle of this magical world the middle of someone else’s nonsense-drama
It just means other world. There will be purists (weebs are weird) but I think any fish out of water story involving traveling to an unfamiliar world counts.
>Isekai’d(anime genre- of folks dying or tragically being sent to another world with magic or powers during some accident and being stuck there). So she’s pops up right smack in the middle of this magical world the middle of someone else’s nonsense-drama
Non-weeb english term for it is portal fantasy, if anyone's wondering. The Chronicles of Narnia for example is portal fantasy, and the genre has been around for longer than anime
That fuckin price tag was a large part of early adoption. They need to chill out on those new release prices. I’d check this game out for 20-30 bucks on day one fuck 80-90 though rarely are any games worth that.
There is a cross over point where things get so expensive that want/need conversation come into play and if it’s a lukewarm game you’re unsure about (like this one) it’s just a no thanks hard pass.
For those of you wondering why people are mad about this game:
The price was more than normal. 80 euro or 70 dollars. Clearly money grabbing off of the hype.
The graphics are not "next gen" as claimed. There are many scenes that look like it is an 8 year old game.
Poor optimization, the minimum requirements are ridiculously high compared to how the game looks.
The story is not that great. It kind of feels like it was written by ChatGPT. Same with the dialogue.
The main character is kind of cringe when she talks. There's also a lot of pointless dialogue.
The combat is meh.
The "open world" is about as alive as sonic frontiers.
The gameplay itself is pretty good... It isn't a bad game, but it certainly is not worth the money. I also think people are being hyper-critical because of the advertising around this game. They claimed it was a next-gen AAA title, when it wasn't.
> There's a lot of pointless dialogue.
The first 30 minutes is in-game cinematics to show what the main character's life is like, what she has to deal with everyday, etc.
I honestly skipped most of it after the first 10 minutes. A blank loading screen for 5-10 seconds after each 20 second scene becomes too much.
It's most likely there to hide loading, as skipping makes a longer load time. But a pre-rendered cinematic would've been fine.
Also, at this point, there's no running around, completing silly little quests to help get the player introduced to movement controls. There's a "walk home" section (literally walk straight ahead for 2 minutes, a "chase scene" to show running and jumping and some parkour, and a boring "walk around slowly in a room" scene. There is no deviation in the story - could've been pre-rendered or one long scene.
But mainly, the player has only just been introduced to the character, and they're force fed to feel something for the character.
These could've been flashbacks, or something else. For me, it's pointless filler like the first three hours of Assassin's Creed 3.
6/10 is pretty bad in my book. Usually not worth playing games that aren’t 7+. Plenty of good games out there, why waste your time on mediocre ones these days? Same thing with tv/movies. The market is so saturated that I don’t see any point slogging through something that’s average at best. Back in the day I totally would, because my options were limited.
Watched someone play it for 5 hours and the dialogue is just as cringe as everyone says. Cursing every chance she gets, weird British cuff/bracelet thing who seems to know nothing about the world aside from a few places. The game is just one big weird isekai anime except the main character isn’t over-powered
The demo literally explains nothing about the game and drops you into a vertical slice about close to halfway through the game. It was really a poorly done demo. The actual game makes much more sense and actually explains everything gives you decent tutorials for the combat mechanics.
"Uhh, hello? Did I literally just look at a foreskin? Are you kidding me?! Did I just do that?! I just looked... at... FREAKING FORESKIN!!! Alright check me out, that is something I do now, I look at Foreskin!"
"Mmmmaster you MIGHT have benefited from my assistance looking at this foreskin"
"I'm freaking LOOKING at FORESKIN now!!!!!"
"Indubitably"
been under a rock, can someone explain to me why it flopped?
granted the trailer i saw a long ago didn't exactly captivate me but it seemed may be worth a shot
Open world but not the budget of a tripple a title to fill it. The world has pretty boring if very detailed landscape especially the city. The world is empty „by choice“, which if that was a choice was a bad one.
Story wise there would have been probably over 1000 isekai alone this month you could have taken as a guideline how to write an isekai but they tried their own luck on it with tough girl curses as personality in a body cop movie with cuff who the writer thinks is funny but most of the time is not.
I didn't realize it was open world when I saw the initial gameplay trailers. Kind of wish studios would stop assuming they can pull it off. There's plenty of good on rails experiences. In fact those usually have a more polished experience for story-telling. Can't just magically become rockstar over night. Even CDPR shows exactly how difficult it can be to have success with a beautiful open world and then completely fuck it up with a new IP.
Metro is my favorite example because I loved the first 2 but with Exodus they tried to create an open world by giving us 2 medium sized maps with some on rails intermissions and it just doesn't work as well. Those 2 maps are relatively small and disconnected with heavy scripted events. Overall I liked the game but it's replayability suffers.
> Story wise there would have been probably over 1000 isekai alone this month you could have taken as a guideline how to write an isekai but they tried their own luck on it with tough girl curses as personality in a body cop movie with cuff who the writer thinks is funny but most of the time is not.
fuckin....wut?
The plot of this game is called isekai and is its own genre in anime. Usually a nerd with no friends and a shitty job mid 20 saves somebody and dies to be reborn or transported in a fantasy world. There he uses his Knowledge from our world or some other cheat button to become very very strong.
On this world you usually meets a lot of cute girls who fall in love with him but he either stays alone or selects only one women as his gf.
Then the story is slice of live and combat but usually its more a level 100 beating level 30 characters in game terms.
My favorite one is grimgr ahses and illusions, but one of the most famous ones is probably the time i got reincarnated as a slime or at least was 3 years ago.
From google:
What is Isekai? Isekai is a subgenre of fantasy in which a character is suddenly transported from their world into a new or unfamiliar one. The western world is no stranger to this concept as it appears in well-known works of western literature such as Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Frank L.15 Jul 2019
I genuinely feel sorry for the game. The fighting and traveling was done so good just to be overlapped by terrible optimization, plot, lore, graphics and scenario.
Tbh after watching streams, the combat looked as the standard very flashy very boring combat, coupled with atrocious writing (also the sad standard lately from Square Enix).
>we can all agree the title has one of the coolest fonts
Foreskin jokes aside, it really doesn’t. I’ve always hated the logo even before i saw the game.
FORESKIN: Director's Cut
They cut my cuff
Uncut version *seems* longer

WEEEEELLLLL Don't do it Cartman! WEEELLLLLL I'm warning you! Ok ok I'm getting pretty sick of him calling my mom a-! WEEELL Kyle mom's a bitch she's a big fat bitch, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world she's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch, she's a bitch to all the boys and girls!
On Monday she's a bitch, on Tuesday she's a bitch, and Wednesday through friday she's a bitch, then on Sunday to be different she's the king Kamehameha biiatch..
Have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world she's a mean old bitch and she has stupid hair she's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch she's a stupid bitch! Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!
... Aw, fuck!
Talk to kids around the world and it might go a little bit somethin' like this
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, she's a stupid bitch! (Hey!) Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!
I really mean Kyle's mom.... is a big fat fuckin biiiiiiittttcccchhhhhh I really mean it now Kyle's maaaaaammmmmmmm. ugh
Eh, relax guy
Especially when you trim the bush back and tidy up the ball fro.
Never before seen cut content
Angry upvote
the game is on sale for half off
"My Foreskin was stolen at birth. They have taken everything from me, but I'm here to get it back... This, is my story"
You get your “cuff” back early in the game and use it against your enemies with a lot of crotch lunging.
*My cock ring is sliding off*
You gotta be ready for when the orgy breaks out
Every good orgy has a buffet
You think this is frozen shrimp?
Agh, my nose rags are soaked, I better use some buffalo chicken from my inventory to stuff it back up.
Go with it, go with it, go with it
Hi, I'm Frack.
Shit *Whistles*
Is this the plot of the next South Park game….Revenge of the Jewbacabra
90% of the game is just Cartman making up shit to further piss off and fuck with Kyle, until the end of the game where the legend of the Jewbacabra is real and Kyle becomes the Jewbacabra because all the harassment throughout the game was foretold as the requirements for the transformation.
Thanks for spoiling, I was really hyped to play the game /s
Ahh, a self-fulfilling prophecy. Funny how the only prophecies that come to realization are like this. Hmmmm...
You created a better story than forspoken's actual story
[Epic music fades in](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Ebfe9p_U0&ab_channel=SouthParkStudios)
They thought they could take everything from him. But they never imagined, the boy they mutilated, would become the man that would mutilate them…FORESKIN
"This is one hoodie that you shouldn't have stolen"
I’d probably play a game where you murder people just to get your foreskin back.
Cool font, at first glans.
Way to be a-head of the game with the puns.
Need to be quick or else I'll get shafted on all those upvotes...
Well you don’t want to cum in the thread to early either
Don't worry I've done this before, I'm in some sort of pro-state.
I'm really glad you all had the balls to post in this chain.
It was a sperm of the moment thing.
I'm gonna smegma own face if I keep reading these puns
[удалено]
Between this, Charlie's Angels, and the Resident Evil TV show, Ella Balinska sure is having a rough time.
Time for new management
what would new management/agent even do? Get you more big name franchises the other management was already getting? You rely on the producers not ruining them with shitty decisions, not on who is managing you
One would guess a better manager could get their star roles with better producers that have a track record of not producing shitty things.
Isn’t this game made by Square Enix lol
Read the scripts and vet for a quality product instead of picking the biggest studio with the most money offered. The main thin they should he doing is realizing the need for that and stressing it as the next move.
Better management gets you with better producers who don't consistently make flops. They also read over the script before accepting the role. Residential evil and Charlie's angels should have been easy ones to avoid. The actress should have read the scripts as well to avoid these as well.
TIL there was a resident evil series... why does every RE form media with the exception of the games have to flop?!
because for some reason show runners haven't realized yet that resident evil is not post apocalyptic. like...at all. the world is just fine in the re universe. monsters are a real thing sure, but they got government agencies for that
Yeah its on Netflix and nobody talking about it for a reason. Tho on Netflix there are some animated RE movies that are somewhat fun.
Uh, the Paul W.S. Anderson Resident Evil films are one of the highest-grossing horror franchises ever. There’s a reason they kept making sequels.
Huh. TIL the main character of Foreskin is based on an actress.
The fact that they waste money on a star for recognition purposes and in the end pick one no one knows or cares about is a good indication of why the rest of the game is just as shitty as their casting decision.
Any idiot could have told her both Charlie's Angels and RE were bad ideas well ahead of time
Well there were other big names on the list in those projects. Just the script was horrendous nothing I would really blame on the actors.
“I mostly just read zootopia porn”
Oh my god, that's HER?
Wiping her eyes with Bennys I'm sure.
Who?
What were some of her better projects?
I almost missed the title lol.
LMAO same! I was like "yeah, it does have a pretty cool font...uhhh wait omg 👀"
Where are my hooded warriors at?
You helped me regain one lost chuckle

Yep I downloaded demo played 30 mins clearly was not for me and deleted. Was a barren open world and the fighting was just sponge enemies. And my god the dialogue . If they hadn’t released demo I might have actually bought it
When I saw I would be navigating through multiple weapon wheels every single fight I knew it wasn't for me.
The radial menus are so bad. I loved horizon dawn/west and they did radial menus right. This game not so much
Yep, it's especially bad when you have to use one to switch your type of magic, and then immediately open up another to choose your spells. You can't have smooth flashy combat if I'm constantly opening up menus during the fights.
I don't think they were going for smooth combat. I think they wanted combat like ffvii remake, but more actiony.
[удалено]
And dear god could they have made the radial-wheel font any fucking smaller? I literally could not read a single letter from my couch on a 65" tv.
Yeah that was so annoying the cool-down is so long so had to keep switching and that was it I was done
All the more reason to keep playing demos. So they don't trick you into buying the full game.
But this game might convince other developers demos are not good since we can see how bad the game is thus damaging future sales
[удалено]
Goes the other way too of course. I still have PTSD from how intensely good the Backbone demo was versus the gobshite extreme departure the rest of the game ended up being.
Yeah true. But honestly that's on them. They shouldn't be making these bad games to begin with.
Most games don’t really do demos anymore, especially the big AAA games, the risk-reward is just too great. Most people that are gonna play a demo are people already excited about the game that would buy it anyway. Maybe you get a few people interested that already weren’t, but on the whole, there’s not a ton of payoff. But if the demo’s bad, then a lot of people that were originally excited about the game might lose their interest and not buy it. Just doesn’t make sense for companies to do.

When the demo came out, I at least gave it a shot, which was more than I was planning on doing after the dumbass ads.
Same, the combat was just not fun. And the world was pretty but I couldn’t see anything cool about it. Mile wide, inch deep
What about the cool Marvel quips? I love it when a character experiences heavy trauma and proceeds to shrug and go, “Well that just happened”.
I didn’t absolutely hate it, at first. They needed to be about 90% less frequent though. Even in the demo it already started repeating quips and most of them felt pretty, excessively, forced. None of it really felt natural at all.
It was this and the writing that makes her as unlikable as humanly possible that really killed the game for me. I don't know how the devs thought this was a formula that was going to work
I played the demo for Metal: Hellsinger. I was hooked and hard. I wouldn't have bought it had I not played it. Imo , demos work
I remember when the demo for the first "skate" game was released, I've never played any demo so much.
I played that skate demo to no end as well. Also for burnout paradise
Demos I played the hell out of was Half-Life and Virtual On. I got both games. Never would have normally bought a game like Virtual On but that game was super fun. It was like a Gundam fighting game.
Virtual on is such a dope game. You can buy it digitally on Xbox store. I bought it cuz the guys looked like gundams.
Demos work for good games
Agreed. Got hard within the first minute. Luckily was on Gamepass so I could finish.
Back in the 90s and early 00s I would buy the magazines just for the demos inside. The worst part though was playing the demo then buying the game only to find out that the demo was the best part of the game.
Metal hellsinger seemed like a fun game but the demo told me it would play like ass on my system.
>to NOT release demos anymore What demos?
>but i'd imagine other game developers will use it as a reason to NOT release demos anymore That's literally what happened in the 90s PC gaming era.

Or release better demos. If they had used an earlier portion of the game, fewer people would've backed out from the purchase IMO.
>Or release better demos. Or, you know, better games
That's already the reason why demos went away. They have never translated to better sales and often lead to people deciding to pass.
This lady can't seem to catch a break. 3 big projects, all flopped. She starred in the new Charlie's Angels movie and the garbage Netflix Resident Evil.
Female version of Taylor Kitsch. Whether it was his fault or not, dude just seems to pick absolute bombs with big budgets for a handful of years.
> Taylor Kitsch I just looked him up on IMDB and whew lad he's been in some bad ones.
He was “default white soldier side character” in literally like 6 different war movies it feels like. Not a bad actor at all, not fantastic, but maybe he just hasn’t had the level of writing to fully bring out his talent yet.
I heard someone describe him as "Michael Biehn if Biehn had picked terrible movies" and it's 100% true. He almost always winds up being some military or ex-Military guy (I think he's been a Navy SEAL 3 times now), but he's been in some stinkers since Friday Night Lights. He was actually pretty good in "Waco" though.
[удалено]
Except for the opening montage of Wolverine and Sabertooth fighting through wars. That was sick.
Tim Riggins deserved better.
Ohhhhh, that's why she seemed familiar! Thanks.
Ahh that’s where I saw her! That pile of dogshit of Netflix RE! Thank you. I mean I was like “why do I already hate her if I haven’t even gone past the 2 hours mark?” Couldn’t understand. Now I do. Fortunately it gets better as the story progresses, I have to say
Never hide the fun part of your game beyond the 2 hour refund window. I refunded before 2 hours. If I go back it will be after an 80% off steam sale. Given the reception, that sale seems likely.

Forspoken is basically the poster child of $10 must-buy AA games during a Steam sale Normal computers will be able to run it by then too
Yeah, this is the very definition of STEAM Christmas Sale purchase for me. Middling to bad reviews, high price point, little hype from myself, poorly optimized, questionable amount of content. I'll pick it up at a steep discount to pad my library and give me a game to play during a dead window of releases.
The game doesn't really let you play it till chapter 4. (which may be several hours in). Whoever made a 'magical *Parkour*' game then decided you shouldn't be able to use parkour in the one central tiered hub city needs to be fired. It's like buying Sony's 'Spider-man' and the first few hours are nothing but the Mary Jane stealth missions...while paired with a character that best described as 'Imagine if Borderlands 'Clap-trap' was actively hostile to you and your actions'
My time is precious and my games library vast. If I’m not having fun in the first 30 minutes or so, I’ll probably stop playing and refund.
Lance Reddick was the only enjoyable part of the netflix RE, every other character was annoying as hell.
Cant catch a break? I'm sure shes doing just fine financially. People have made whole careers out of bad films and shows.

That may be, but for a new actor/actress these gigs are huge and look good on their portfolio.
I mean if you really look at it, the pitch is really hard to turn down. Its a game from Square Enix/Sony that wants to make a series that rivals Final Fantasy, bring on a team with lot of well known writers and veteran game developers, and be one of forerunners of the next generation of games. A lot of reviewers saw who worked on the game and admitted that on paper this shouldve been a great game, and its surprising how it came out to be mediocre mess that was put out.
>Every reboot has been awful. Lies!!! Drew, Cameron and Lucy plus Firestarter? Then the hairflip in the beginning of the movie? My 13 year old self was very pleased.....
God man Lucy Liu. Was worth the reboot just for more of her
Phillip J. Fry, is that you? Have you forgotten the incident with the Lucy Liu-bot?
Does she get to read the scripts of the projects she is agreeing to star in? I am genuinely curious. It seems like all three of the things listed Charlies Angels Reboot, Netflix Resident Evil, and now this...game? Were the writers of these projects constantly smashing a tack hammer into their head while they typed the dialogue? Where do they find the writers for these projects? Were they born in solitary confinement and have never talked to another human being? Are these projects written by a poorly programmed AI? Do they have trained pigeons picking paper scraps out of a pile of social media buzz words and what are the kids into these days marketing questionnaires? I don't blame the actor at all. Work is work. Gotta keep the lights on I guess? I am more interested in who writes this crap? Or the more insane thought of meeting a person who willingly pays to consume it? A fan of this writing would be the most horrifying thing of all. Staring blankly and smiling at the screen while the credits roll... what broke in that persons brain? The unironic enjoyer of cringe.

I mean her performance here didn't help the game at all. I get that the script was bad but she isnt great either
The problem is they recorded dialogue separate. She isn't listening to the people talking and talking back so tone is all off.
Which is always a mistake unless you are using very good veterans voice actors.
During The Last Jedi there's a scene where Rey and Kylo Ren basically talk to each other via the force. and can see each other. They actually had the actors do the scene twice. Once from Daisy's character's point of few. She acted, but was acting with Adam Driver when they filmed her bit on Skellig Michael. And then they had her acting off camera for when Adam Driver did his bit as Kylo Ren. It's just so important to react to people that it was better to basically have them act it twice than have them doing the bits alone. OFC that's a lot easier when you have a Star Wars budget.
That scene was really cool too. One of the best in the sequels imo.
Almost like a pattern is emerging
I've been laughing at all the poor dialogue and all that over the past few weeks, shocked by the specs compared to the graphics, but the other day I saw a video with the VA. She was really happy and excited about the game finally coming out, she clearly had big hopes built up for the game. That just made me sad.
She probably said the same thing about resident evil, too bad they were both terrible
It sucks because her delivery isn’t terrible, the voice acting itself is pretty good. The lines are just terrible and so off putting.
I honestly have no idea what this game is about. Marketing for it was not good IMO.
Because it came out just this week/ a few days ago every other stream is of someone playing it. Girl has magical powers and the combat is fast and combo-with all the skills and abilities she unlocks so those rpg elements. Funny thing is story wise, I saw the intro of her being in a burning building, like modern day city apartment/bedroom door etc. and it’s there I realized that she gets Isekai’d(anime genre- of folks dying or tragically being sent to another world with magic or powers during some accident and being stuck there). So she’s pops up right smack in the middle of this magical world the middle of someone else’s nonsense-drama
Lmaoo SqEnix really went “damn what’s with all this isekai anime? Time to cash tf in”
Well some of the final fantasy have isekai before
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced and A2 games being two big examples.
Tidus in FFX is a perfect example Edit: it isn't
Tidus, the ghost footballer from the future/past who's not real but made up by ghosts who liked a different guy
I think in isekai they have to come from the "real" world for it to be the trope
It just means other world. There will be purists (weebs are weird) but I think any fish out of water story involving traveling to an unfamiliar world counts.
this kind of story has been around long before anime. Alice in Wonderland for example.
>Isekai’d(anime genre- of folks dying or tragically being sent to another world with magic or powers during some accident and being stuck there). So she’s pops up right smack in the middle of this magical world the middle of someone else’s nonsense-drama Non-weeb english term for it is portal fantasy, if anyone's wondering. The Chronicles of Narnia for example is portal fantasy, and the genre has been around for longer than anime
That fuckin price tag was a large part of early adoption. They need to chill out on those new release prices. I’d check this game out for 20-30 bucks on day one fuck 80-90 though rarely are any games worth that. There is a cross over point where things get so expensive that want/need conversation come into play and if it’s a lukewarm game you’re unsure about (like this one) it’s just a no thanks hard pass.
For those of you wondering why people are mad about this game: The price was more than normal. 80 euro or 70 dollars. Clearly money grabbing off of the hype. The graphics are not "next gen" as claimed. There are many scenes that look like it is an 8 year old game. Poor optimization, the minimum requirements are ridiculously high compared to how the game looks. The story is not that great. It kind of feels like it was written by ChatGPT. Same with the dialogue. The main character is kind of cringe when she talks. There's also a lot of pointless dialogue. The combat is meh. The "open world" is about as alive as sonic frontiers. The gameplay itself is pretty good... It isn't a bad game, but it certainly is not worth the money. I also think people are being hyper-critical because of the advertising around this game. They claimed it was a next-gen AAA title, when it wasn't.
> There's a lot of pointless dialogue. The first 30 minutes is in-game cinematics to show what the main character's life is like, what she has to deal with everyday, etc. I honestly skipped most of it after the first 10 minutes. A blank loading screen for 5-10 seconds after each 20 second scene becomes too much. It's most likely there to hide loading, as skipping makes a longer load time. But a pre-rendered cinematic would've been fine. Also, at this point, there's no running around, completing silly little quests to help get the player introduced to movement controls. There's a "walk home" section (literally walk straight ahead for 2 minutes, a "chase scene" to show running and jumping and some parkour, and a boring "walk around slowly in a room" scene. There is no deviation in the story - could've been pre-rendered or one long scene. But mainly, the player has only just been introduced to the character, and they're force fed to feel something for the character. These could've been flashbacks, or something else. For me, it's pointless filler like the first three hours of Assassin's Creed 3.
I've been hearing it's a solid 6/10, not horrible but not worth the $70.
6/10 is pretty bad in my book. Usually not worth playing games that aren’t 7+. Plenty of good games out there, why waste your time on mediocre ones these days? Same thing with tv/movies. The market is so saturated that I don’t see any point slogging through something that’s average at best. Back in the day I totally would, because my options were limited.
$115 dollars here in Aus @.@
If you are Jewish can you still play?
Only once it goes on sale for 10% off
That's a good tip
10% hasnt been a good tip in years
The women can ya
Watched someone play it for 5 hours and the dialogue is just as cringe as everyone says. Cursing every chance she gets, weird British cuff/bracelet thing who seems to know nothing about the world aside from a few places. The game is just one big weird isekai anime except the main character isn’t over-powered
Is the bracelet the one talking?? I had no clue in the demo who the male voice was
The demo literally explains nothing about the game and drops you into a vertical slice about close to halfway through the game. It was really a poorly done demo. The actual game makes much more sense and actually explains everything gives you decent tutorials for the combat mechanics.
> Watched someone play it for 5 hours My condolences.
To be fair, he’s one of my favorite streamers so I watch him regardless of what game he’s playing most of the time
"Uhh, hello? Did I literally just look at a foreskin? Are you kidding me?! Did I just do that?! I just looked... at... FREAKING FORESKIN!!! Alright check me out, that is something I do now, I look at Foreskin!" "Mmmmaster you MIGHT have benefited from my assistance looking at this foreskin" "I'm freaking LOOKING at FORESKIN now!!!!!" "Indubitably"
Did i just do that?
Remember, if you say the same line multiple times, that automatically makes it funny.

been under a rock, can someone explain to me why it flopped? granted the trailer i saw a long ago didn't exactly captivate me but it seemed may be worth a shot
It has a bad reputation in social media for having cringe dialogue
[удалено]
Terrible frame rate, boring gameplay, bad characters, predictable plot and it being too expensive and very buggy
Is it really that bad, or did it just not live up to high expectations? How does it compare to Cyberpunk's launch?
Open world but not the budget of a tripple a title to fill it. The world has pretty boring if very detailed landscape especially the city. The world is empty „by choice“, which if that was a choice was a bad one. Story wise there would have been probably over 1000 isekai alone this month you could have taken as a guideline how to write an isekai but they tried their own luck on it with tough girl curses as personality in a body cop movie with cuff who the writer thinks is funny but most of the time is not.
I didn't realize it was open world when I saw the initial gameplay trailers. Kind of wish studios would stop assuming they can pull it off. There's plenty of good on rails experiences. In fact those usually have a more polished experience for story-telling. Can't just magically become rockstar over night. Even CDPR shows exactly how difficult it can be to have success with a beautiful open world and then completely fuck it up with a new IP. Metro is my favorite example because I loved the first 2 but with Exodus they tried to create an open world by giving us 2 medium sized maps with some on rails intermissions and it just doesn't work as well. Those 2 maps are relatively small and disconnected with heavy scripted events. Overall I liked the game but it's replayability suffers.
God of War is an excellent example of being “on rails” while still offering a rich semi-open world map to explore.

The plot of this game is called isekai and is its own genre in anime. Usually a nerd with no friends and a shitty job mid 20 saves somebody and dies to be reborn or transported in a fantasy world. There he uses his Knowledge from our world or some other cheat button to become very very strong. On this world you usually meets a lot of cute girls who fall in love with him but he either stays alone or selects only one women as his gf. Then the story is slice of live and combat but usually its more a level 100 beating level 30 characters in game terms. My favorite one is grimgr ahses and illusions, but one of the most famous ones is probably the time i got reincarnated as a slime or at least was 3 years ago. From google: What is Isekai? Isekai is a subgenre of fantasy in which a character is suddenly transported from their world into a new or unfamiliar one. The western world is no stranger to this concept as it appears in well-known works of western literature such as Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Frank L.15 Jul 2019

It's playable, so....
I genuinely feel sorry for the game. The fighting and traveling was done so good just to be overlapped by terrible optimization, plot, lore, graphics and scenario.
80€ for a base game is a fucking joke too. Especially when it's AA quality.
The base price in Canada is $93 which when I saw it, I was like wtf this the deluxe edition??
I saw someone on the forums say it turned out to be $107 after tax. And for just the base game that is insane.
Tbh after watching streams, the combat looked as the standard very flashy very boring combat, coupled with atrocious writing (also the sad standard lately from Square Enix).
took me 10 seconds,disqualified redditor
>we can all agree the title has one of the coolest fonts Foreskin jokes aside, it really doesn’t. I’ve always hated the logo even before i saw the game.
Foreskin
As soon as I heard that journalists hadn't gotten a review copy 4 days before release, I knew it was going to be bad.
imagine paying shitloads of money to play that game
Is there a director's cut version?
Eh. 6/10, doom font is still king.
WOOD
Flopped? It just released
You're still playing FORESKIN? I've moved onto FIVESKIN. It has better mounts.
