So it seems the Forspoken (ps5) demo has been getting shite on

Mainly for sub par graphics and an annoying protagonist. Haven’t played the demo myself but was pumped to make this my next game so the news sucks

May just hold off until Hogwarts Legacy or been debating on picking up Crisis Core: Reunion since I never played the original then finishing FF7R. Suggestions?

I played the demo the other day and it was pretty meh. The controls are far from smooth, the graphics leave a lot to be desired and yeah i dont think im the intended target audience for the story line. It has some flashes of looking really cool and stringing together some neat combos but over all i think im going to skip this one unless its super cheap or free game of the month.

Saw some gameplay of Forspoken and man it looks unbearable

Definitely waiting for Hogwarts Legacy until I see a fair amount of gameplay, I'm hopeful it'll be one of the better games this year. Wouldn't be surprised if it's bad though, developers have promised a lot

I have a 6th sense when it comes to predicting which games will be shite and which ones will be good

this one has looked like shite from jump street. skip it

ETA: and im not sure I could come up with a worse title for a game. horrible

I uninstalled that demo within 5 minutes. Just wait until you hear the dialogue in the game... combat was wonky af but this main protagonist is terrible. Gonna be some woke shite inserted in this game..

I’m not surprised. Ever since announced it seemed underwhelming. The first ad for it and the radio silence on it didn’t help.

The effects of marvel on dialogue writing has been a disaster

I played most of the demo. The combat system re uses a lot of animations and is in the same style of FF15 with O being a bound dodge and block button which shouldn’t really be surprising since they made that too. It’s pretty meh or mid imo. I seriously doubt it will have anything close to the story or interesting aspects of FF15 that kept me going to the finish line because the combat sure as hell didn’t.

This is kind of why developers/publishers never release demos anymore.

The demo better be a damn near outstanding slice of the game otherwise, it only serves to hurt sales. Unless of course, the game actually needs a demo to drum up hype.

This feels like one of those odd games where gaming media and the publisher is treating it like the next big major AAA release, but actual gamers just don't care about this game at all

I played the demo and the controls were janky as frick. Didn’t enjoy the way it felt at all.
