Nag Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I don't know what is about this game but as it stands it still has some work to do to convince me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 I think I’m in the same boat, there’s something about that’s still a bit janky to me but hopefully they still have enough time to iron it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was already suspicious of it but watching that it looks like an Assassin's Creed game with magic, so now it's even more sus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 the 'key partners' like is weird isn't it. i wonder if they've struck a deal with one of the platforms to move it so it can be an exclusive for January or something? Seems unlikely they'd have been told they need a full 6 months of polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The last few days this game has become one of Twitter's lead characters because of this: It was such a bad move that it got Joss Whedon trending again because of the style the advert is written in and film Twitter took over dunking on him so despite going viral (in a bad way) it still wasn't entirely about this game. This game shouldn't be such a hard sell because it looks like it could be pretty cool for what it is in terms of gameplay but everything around it is going horribly. The premise of a regular person being sucked into a Final Fantasy world should be a fun thing but they are having such a hard time selling it because they're going about it in a way that is so bad. It's pretty sad to see. Some of the dunks have been funny tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Really when you think about it it was a very good thing Firefly got cancelled when it did, they clearly knew back then to try and nip that thing in the bud fast. They tried to warn us what would happen but we did not heed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I loved Buffy as much as any dorky teen at the time but I never asked for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 That gave me Ms Marvel vibes. Basically presented as a kids Tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 I think there is a touch of misogynism in the criticism about this, any game with a female protagonist these days folks seem to go out of their way to criticise something or another. Likewise with Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel to for that matter. But yeah, it's not great at all and really dorky dialogue, they're going for that playful Teen Peter Parker, Ms. Marvel vibe but it's just coming across as a bit cringey rather than having it's intended effect. From what I've seen of the gameplay, it doesn't look bad per se, it just doesn't really get me hyped, the lip syncing was bad in some of the older trailers as well. They've still got a lot of time to rectify all these issues though. I'm just not sure anyone will care the time it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I mean there could be a touch of misogyny, I hadn't really looked close enough. There is certainly some racism wrt to its lead character, I've seen a lot of that. But exhaustion with this kind of snappy, 'quippy' dialogue seems pretty universal imo I think Forsaken is just the thing that is triggering this a bit, rather than it being as much about Forsaken in particular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 So let me get this straight, this isn't quite what I would call a Devil May Cry game but it does have a combo rating system, huh, yeah I guess this is a thing that the FFXV designers do now, I bet they will do an calibur max act combo next https://www.ign.com/articles/forspoken-combos-devil-may-cry-100-spells-number Mixed feelings watching the video in this link, which I cannot embed. It starts off with some really eye rolling ubisoft/crackdown looking stuff with climbing towers to open the map up for trinkets to get. But it looks like the game runs pretty well now and has some cool magic stuff in it. edit here's the youtube link. It has that same sense of visually fatiguing noise that FFXV had, but I dunno the game actually has some cool movement and crowd control options in it. Putting it back on the radar now, as long as it doesn't turn out to be this automated messy thing XV was and has a bit of player agency it could be cool 100+ spells to combo with they say, a Dante-esque arsenal that is but let's see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I’ve liked this game from the start. It’s the movement I think . I like free flowing, slick, acrobatic games which this looks like it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
