Forspoken - action-RPG from Square Enix with cringe protagonist

[sosmoflux]

As if it wasn't bad enough, it's hilarious how Hi Fi Rush and Dead Space came out and completely deleted Forspoken.

I see their artists found out that particles exist.

So, doing, for some inexplicable reason, a backflip beforehand and then turning yourself while the door seems to magically open before you even touch it?

Seems kinda useless and lame.

Ps5 version is discounted.

 

[RobotSquirrel]

I wouldn't be so smug about this. Redfall exists.

 

[Morgoth]

Very balanced review. Might not be the worst AAA game released this year, keeping Redfall in mind...

 

[rusty_shackleford]

waow, you can wear a cloak AND a necklace
"primarily a cosmetic"

"perform cuff scan"

Arkane has nothing but good record on them. Even if they go into this stupid L4D shit I would assume they would make better game than anything coming out from SE

Their last 5 releases are Redfall, Deathloop, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

*ahem* they haven't released Redfall yet. I'm sure it will be a smash hit.

after Raphael Colantonio left Arkane, it got all weird.

This is their new CEO.

Someone please explain to me the appeal of a game where the combat boil down to shooting a thousand magic bullet while rolling away from some monster as speedy as a snail.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Are you talking about bullet hell games?

 

[Sarathiour]

Nice try, and I thought about it myself because I'm just as contrarian as the rest of the Kodex. Unfortunately :

rolling away from some monster as speedy as a snail.

But fair point, this seems about as fun as a bullet hell game where enemies does not shoot at you.

Arkane have never made a good game, ever.

 

[Late Bloomer]

Arkane has made two good games

Arx Fatalis
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

 

[sosmoflux]

Prey

 

[DemonKing]

I didn't mind the Dishonored titles either.

As for recent, good games...

 

[DeepOcean]

I mean, Jesus, why all those characters look like they are missing some chromosomes? I mean, the uglyfication of character is marching on the west but even on other woke products the NPCs dont look like meth head ghouls. Guess the budget for facial modeling gone for the particles instead.

 

[lycanwarrior]

wow so many bigots in this thread... surprise surprise

Eh, we are on the 'Dex afterall haha.



Just comes with the territory.
