It is actually impressive how aggressively the writers refused to let the protagonist have even the tiniest bit of character development. But I guess that's what happens when your writers follow the "How do you do fellow kids?" script.
It's written for woke, sad, irrelevant people. Her whole story is literally "oh boohoo there's nothing special about me, pity, pity, pity"...but then she's suddenly just the most powerful person in the fantasy world. This is a feminists wet dream made into some weird pseudo anime derivative for nerds....
That’s woke writing for ya. Make your protagonist a black woman and then she doesn’t need character development because how dare you suggest a black woman isn’t perfect.
OJ is such a great method actor. The scene ends and he continues to eat that crayon. Hell, he's so passionate about his character that it moves Joe to eat a crayon himself. Watching OJ is watching a true master at work. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

@@Bodwaizer Having recently finished Chapter 9 after 60 hours of playing the open world.. this is sadly true. I can't even understand what caused them to design the story like this. The game's had really strange decisions, and multiple jump cuts in the story ("several days later" meme style), and so many control lockouts and other weird slowness.. It's, not bad, but it's just, it doesn't feel great. It's better than Forswoken, that's for sure, but it still is a very flawed game.

When the loot you find only fits you because no one else wears capes like you and NO ONE ELSE has painted nails. Even plain color ones. The immersion is incredible.
You wanna talk about immersion-breaking?? As someone who reads a lot of webcomics where the Isekai theme is super common, it really bothers me how this character seems to lack any sense of connection towards the world she spends a huge amount of time into. Not only is she super happy-go-lucky about things that she sees for the first time, but the model itself is so expressionless whenever she does.....anything. It makes it so hard to care about anything that happens around you when the protagonist themselves doesn't seem to care.
I was wondering about that. Normally, the gear you get in a game even if it's just for your character fits the game's world or has an explanation for why it's unique. They couldn't even be bothered here. Like she should be wearing robes and armor but instead, they went with a cloak and... painted nails? Just dumb worldbuilding right there.
You know as a dad of 4 boys, who are all in and around the age this girl is supposed to be. I can agree that her dialogue suuuuuuuuucks. But she sounds like my kids. once they got out on their own, and the parental filter wears off, it is aweful.
@@pikkyuukyuun4741 the only one I like that's relatively recent is called "my uncle is back from another world", the joke is that the uncle was in a coma for 15~ years in another world but when he comes back he still has his powers and he'd rather do anything else but talk about his experiences, like he's pretty good with moving on and he still kept his powers, him and his nephew just put up TH-cam videos showing off his powers
I used to freaking hate this genre. I wouldn't stop rolling my eyes at the "hilarious" attempts at extracting at least the tiniest giggle out of the audiences by watching the fantasy hero messing around a modern house or downtown. Yeesh. At least the other trope has something of the wish fulfillment charm to it. It will come out as a heresy, but I'm 100% positive Forspoken will have turned out a cult childhood classic for a good chunk of the 2010 female generation, with this whole edgy appeal. That's the reason I can't bring myself to hating it too much. Kids need this kind of escapism, even if not served in the best form.

23:37 I just love how there's no consequence for leaving an entire world to end. Like I imagine when she's like 80, sitting at home she gonna be “I wonder what happened to those people...eh, who cares” goes back to watching TV. Like what was the point of saving these people and make them think you're gonna save their world when you just leave them with no consequences. I wish a little more thought was put, like maybe after defeating Athia Susurrus is coming for our world and the only chance to defeat him was lost when Frey left back to New York.
@@fantasyexplorergg no way you're blaming the game being trash because Americans wrote it 💀 some of the best story games of all time are written by Americans
If I had spent the whole game being talked to the way the main character talked to everyone she met, I think I too would become a world villain. Also I consider the New York ending of this game to be the cannon ending with how Frey acted through the whole game
The thing that I find superior about Angry Joe reviews, compared to others is that he actually plays through the entire game before coming up with an opinion. It may take longer than others but the quality makes it way more valuable to me.
That’s why his reviews are always actual “reviews”. Like or dislike him (I love AJS) at least he actually fully plays it. Not like most others who get codes early and play the first few hours and rush to get a review out on launch day… that’s basically a preview tbh
Except he doesnt. Even in this review you can see OJ also plays some portions. AJ even leaves the room and doesnt see some of the time OJ plays. The reviews are entertaining but I stoped trusting all of the scores he gives. It's been multiple times that he doesnt pay attention to parts of the game because they are talking amongst themselves. And then he complains about story and gameplay elements that were explained in those exact moments. But I agree, this game is crap. It was obvious since the trial came out
Such a shame. The game looks really good at times. But that cloak is really distracting. The dialogue cringeworthy, despite the voice acting being pretty good. And just a barren world, yet beautiful in its make. So close, yet so far.
Not just the writers half this staff is eating crayons like the ones who are responsible for preformance and the PC port till the point a game that looks like an early PS3 game requires a 4060 because they jacked up the requirements too hide there garbage optimization
I wouldn't say that the 'Isekai' genre is a japanese genre per say. A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs follows John Carter, a Virginian Ex-Civil war soldier who gets transported from a desert cave to the surface of Mars is an early example of this same story type. The other obvious example would be The Wizard of Oz. Both of these stories existed far before the creation of the 'Isekai' genre and there were undoubtedly 100s of lesser known stories that followed a similar structure beforehand.
well, as i understand japan "isekai"s have extra neccesary part of transported hero being worthless in original world and borderline all powerful in a new one, so its at least a subgenre
@@alekzanderor5489 John Carter is all powerful on Mars. Due to Earth's gravity being so much stronger than Mars's, he is able to jump miles of distance and his skin/skeletal structure can resist almost all of the Martian weaponry. He is the edge that allows for the resistance to fight back. Dorothy immediately killed one of the wicked witches upon her arrival to Oz and within days had slain the second and more powerful witch. She had also been blessed by the Good witch within minutes of landing in Oz. The world (though part of her imagination) kind of bends its knee to her in almost every way.
Wait until Joe and Co. realize Forspoken already had a concept trailer waaay back then in the form of Final Fantasy: Agni's Philosophy, with a clearly designed protagonist, and a theme that was far from any "modern audience" or "New York" idea randomly shoehorned in a Final Fantasy themed game. Imagine how this game could've been if they just went in and actually followed through with Agni's Philosophy. People really liked Agni's trailer and got FF fans talking about it, asking for a game to be made about it, which led to this game coming to existence. Way to go Squeenix.
the reason she doesn't have friends it's because she is rude to people. I thought that in the story she becomes nicer and more polite and she notices that people behave badly towards her because of her own behavior and actions towards them. But no, the story wasn't that good.
My mother also told me she fell into a portal to another world where she was the hero and that’s why she couldn’t raise me. Thank you for relating to me Square Enix
“I’m rooting for the fire, to be honest.” 😂 The thing that irritated me about this game is Frey’s constant whining about having to go on a fantasy adventure and being gifted with amazing powers after wishing for exactly something like that to happen. Oh, I can’t fit any more $100 bills into my wallet, and these diamond shoes are too tight!
Yep 100%. If you're doing the fish out of water thing then make the protagonist have the same sense of wonder we do exploring the world. Also, probably an unpopular opinion, but if you're going to do the whole wise cracking A hole thing, make them male. Sorry but it's just the truth. This stuff is always way worse when it's a female protagonist.
It would make more sense if they didn't go so far out of their way to establish her real life sucked absolute ass. What, is she missing her cat? Okay, I get that, but cats fucking die, she was going to lose it eventually.
Generic is a term people love to through around way to often...but man, a game has never felt more generic than this one. I swear I've played this game like 20 times before
The “going home ending” reminds me of the Rayman bad ending where Rayman can chose to retire on an island with a pile of gold. It was never meant to be the true ending, but stilll funny that he just gives up.
Obviously super pumped for one of THOSE Angry Reviews! But equally as excited to show on the credits of an angry review for .03 seconds for the first time :')
The demo was not a representation of the game. Demo was awful. But i enjoyed the game. £70? No but if it released at £50 it would have been better. If you find it for cheap, i'd say ignore the reviews and try the game. I enjoyed my time with it

Like I imagine when she's like 80, sitting at home she gonna be “I wonder what happened to those people...eh, who cares” goes back to watching TV. Like what was the point of saving these people and make them think you're gonna save their world when you just leave them with no consequences. I wish a little more thought was put, like maybe after defeating Athia Susurrus is coming for our world and the only chance to defeat him was lost when Frey left back to New York.
I don't think Alex get's enough credit for his acting abilities. The man is very convincing as anything he plays.
Alex’s Billy Mayes cracked me up good 😂
He really is good though.. I'm sure he doesn't mind getting "credit" while making over $150k a year.. I know I wouldn't give a damn about credit
Alex as Abby was his best role.
@@mas8705lmao alex was born to play that role.
@@DETRACT0RD00M he makes 150k a year? Did Alex tell you that?
I love it how the characters swear so much, like an 11yr old that's just learned how to curse
@@fantasyexplorergg no way you're blaming the game being trash because Americans wrote it 💀 some of the best story games of all time are written by Americans
If I had spent the whole game being talked to the way the main character talked to everyone she met, I think I too would become a world villain.
Also I consider the New York ending of this game to be the cannon ending with how Frey acted through the whole game
Certainly, a game. That was definitely made.

The thing that I find superior about Angry Joe reviews, compared to others is that he actually plays through the entire game before coming up with an opinion. It may take longer than others but the quality makes it way more valuable to me.
That’s why his reviews are always actual “reviews”. Like or dislike him (I love AJS) at least he actually fully plays it. Not like most others who get codes early and play the first few hours and rush to get a review out on launch day… that’s basically a preview tbh
I also recommend Mortissimal Gaming, he 100%s games before review and us usually quick about it
@@LOSTBHOY88 Preview and pre-review.
Except he doesnt. Even in this review you can see OJ also plays some portions. AJ even leaves the room and doesnt see some of the time OJ plays. The reviews are entertaining but I stoped trusting all of the scores he gives. It's been multiple times that he doesnt pay attention to parts of the game because they are talking amongst themselves. And then he complains about story and gameplay elements that were explained in those exact moments.
But I agree, this game is crap. It was obvious since the trial came out
Indeed.
Watched almost every angry joe review the past 10+ years. Absolutely never fails to entertain
Indeed, To bad we dont get a lot of them in the last years
@@HappyDude1 lack of games prob does that
@@fatpotato190
There were a few big games he did not review. He does more tv and movie reviews now

These are the best angry reviews, the ones that are legit ANGRY reviews
Other Joe just killed me in the beginning "Yeah I'm ready to star... start For'skin, I write real good"
foreskin? XD
Other Joe’s comedic timing never ceases to amaze me 🤣🤣
'I guess it touched this game' was on point. x')
Sure. Bang Bang ❗️ better?
comes in looking like me after doing 10 hours of concrete work XD
Other Joe is legit becoming a great actor from all these skits
Funniest opening ever
14:40 like Mega Man
16:00 she's insane
2:28 Highly accurate description of what the developer thought the target audience wanted from the character.
Such an accurate portrayal of the writers of so much of modern entertainment. Great job Other Joe. At least someone knows how to do quality work!
☕️☕️☕️
Such a shame. The game looks really good at times. But that cloak is really distracting. The dialogue cringeworthy, despite the voice acting being pretty good. And just a barren world, yet beautiful in its make. So close, yet so far.
@@williamyoung9401 oh please, voice acting is horrendous
Not just the writers half this staff is eating crayons like the ones who are responsible for preformance and the PC port till the point a game that looks like an early PS3 game requires a 4060 because they jacked up the requirements too hide there garbage optimization
@@williamyoung9401 Ella balinska? The same person from that god awful resident evil show? A good actor? How about no
The fact that OJ actually ate crayons and that Angry Joe tried one shows just how committed these guys are. Also, it's hilarious.
I think they were bubblegum lol
@@DuskCloneTTV I thought they were pocky sticks
@@DuskCloneTTV There's such things as edible crayons. I had edible paper back when I was little.
CLEARLY they were not real crayons, genius.
i just checked cause i've skipped the bloopers and yes he did ate the crayon, wtf
Imagine being the company who made the amazing organic fun dialog between noctis in the crew and those likeable characters then turning this out
Dunno if it's the same team. Thankfully, their stronger team is working on FFXVI, the real Square Enix heavy hitter.
@@theperson8539 so hyped for the new ff i need more and I just can't get into the mmo one
@@sixinthehead3076 FFXVI character: did i just do that? I just moved shit with my mind. Ok that is something i do now
It was made by the ff15 team, but instead of Japanese writers they hired woke western people to make the script. Its shows big time.
Think I heard they rebooted the story half way through and the main writer couldnt come back for it.
24:12 "Where do we go now?" = "We as writers have no clue what to write for this ending, so f**k it"
Everything I've seen of the dialog from Forspoken has big "how do you do, fellow kids" energy.
that part involving the court is shockingly accurate for new york city courts. except when the person arrested not only shows up but gets punished
OJ is always a treat to watch 😂
I wouldn't say that the 'Isekai' genre is a japanese genre per say.
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs follows John Carter, a Virginian Ex-Civil war soldier who gets transported from a desert cave to the surface of Mars is an early example of this same story type. The other obvious example would be The Wizard of Oz. Both of these stories existed far before the creation of the 'Isekai' genre and there were undoubtedly 100s of lesser known stories that followed a similar structure beforehand.
well, as i understand japan "isekai"s have extra neccesary part of transported hero being worthless in original world and borderline all powerful in a new one, so its at least a subgenre
@@alekzanderor5489 John Carter is all powerful on Mars. Due to Earth's gravity being so much stronger than Mars's, he is able to jump miles of distance and his skin/skeletal structure can resist almost all of the Martian weaponry. He is the edge that allows for the resistance to fight back.
Dorothy immediately killed one of the wicked witches upon her arrival to Oz and within days had slain the second and more powerful witch. She had also been blessed by the Good witch within minutes of landing in Oz. The world (though part of her imagination) kind of bends its knee to her in almost every way.
The term you are searching for is Portalfantasy
@@alekzanderor5489 These genres who tell a the whole plot before even starting are incredibly boring
Both the gameplay and the dialogue are the video game equivalent of the "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme.
How do you do fellow Millenialz?
"The gameplay" so the same as Hogwarts??? but that gets praised...
@@Haxyn It only gets praised because it's Harry Potter.
@@honorous4840 And fun
@@CHIEF__ it the same even to the point of using the correct colored spell to break shields in forespoken no shield just says resistant
Wait until Joe and Co. realize Forspoken already had a concept trailer waaay back then in the form of Final Fantasy: Agni's Philosophy, with a clearly designed protagonist, and a theme that was far from any "modern audience" or "New York" idea randomly shoehorned in a Final Fantasy themed game. Imagine how this game could've been if they just went in and actually followed through with Agni's Philosophy. People really liked Agni's trailer and got FF fans talking about it, asking for a game to be made about it, which led to this game coming to existence. Way to go Squeenix.
Gotta love how they make you slow walk at 12:17 even when the room you’re in is on fire.
You know how it goes; They gotta dump the exposition onto you.
The lady screaming bit at 15:35 is hilarious! The way Joe goes from eating to a slow, wide eyed turn 👌
Every now and then other Joe just tickles me to death. This was one of those times.
Those moments with the cats were the best scenes in the entire game. Hell, petting the cats is the reason why Forspoken has a 4/10.
should've been an 8/10..............i am very easily impressed.
Homer should have been the main character, would have been 10/10
@@ddjsoyenby you must be 10 💀
Interestingly enough, the cats in the game were animated with better care and realism than any of the human characters.
@@88ights it's a joke m8.
24:10 "Where do we go now? Hmm.. guess I'll start up an OF account!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the reason she doesn't have friends it's because she is rude to people. I thought that in the story she becomes nicer and more polite and she notices that people behave badly towards her because of her own behavior and actions towards them. But no, the story wasn't that good.
My mother also told me she fell into a portal to another world where she was the hero and that’s why she couldn’t raise me. Thank you for relating to me Square Enix
💀
OJ was on fire for this one, had me rolling on the floor!
That "alternate" NY ending literally made my jaw drop. What a shit ending.
PERFECT TIMING!
Just when I was looking for something to watch
“I’m rooting for the fire, to be honest.” 😂
The thing that irritated me about this game is Frey’s constant whining about having to go on a fantasy adventure and being gifted with amazing powers after wishing for exactly something like that to happen.
Oh, I can’t fit any more $100 bills into my wallet, and these diamond shoes are too tight!
Yep 100%. If you're doing the fish out of water thing then make the protagonist have the same sense of wonder we do exploring the world. Also, probably an unpopular opinion, but if you're going to do the whole wise cracking A hole thing, make them male. Sorry but it's just the truth. This stuff is always way worse when it's a female protagonist.
It would make more sense if they didn't go so far out of their way to establish her real life sucked absolute ass. What, is she missing her cat? Okay, I get that, but cats fucking die, she was going to lose it eventually.
That intro was by far the best intro you guys have ever made, I was laughijg my ass off watching it
Nah, nothing can beat the Outer Worlds review intro.
@@pyro111100 The Death Stranding intro is my fav, but this and Outer Worlds are high up there too, lol.
OK.
Steam reviews for this game are filled with comments about turning off the voice audio. Says a lot about both the writing and delivery.
Dialogue still more believable than the saints row reboot
...or the Devil May Cry 'reboot'.
and a nicer looking cat model.
honestly i love the dialouge.........what can i say i am cringe and i am good.
The character is believable, just not likeable.
@@ddjsoyenbynothing like starting a gang of woke-a-nites because of college debt, am I right?
"I am ready to start on Forskin" killed me hahaha
Someone on facebook actually photoshopped the title to "Foreskin" with the same original font lmao.
Man this is one of my favorite sketches you guys have ever done, brilliant work guys!
I heard that her father is going to be in the sequel called "Notspoken"
Other joe never cease to disappoint😂
Ok, this might be my new favorite opener for an Angry Review. You guys knock it out of the park once again! XD
Generic is a term people love to through around way to often...but man, a game has never felt more generic than this one. I swear I've played this game like 20 times before
AJ absolutely dunking on Sweet Baby Inc and doesn't even know it lol
Yes!!! A classic Angry Joe review. One that we missed greatly.
Yuuuge
The “going home ending” reminds me of the Rayman bad ending where Rayman can chose to retire on an island with a pile of gold. It was never meant to be the true ending, but stilll funny that he just gives up.
oh i remember that :D deep memory
@@fantasyexplorergg Found the bot
Obviously super pumped for one of THOSE Angry Reviews!
But equally as excited to show on the credits of an angry review for .03 seconds for the first time :')
It's disturbing how well OJ plays the role of a 'touched' person
One of the best skits ever😂”Foreskin, I write real good”
I played the demo and I knew what kind of game I was getting into. Didn't even last an hour.
The demo was not a representation of the game. Demo was awful. But i enjoyed the game. £70? No but if it released at £50 it would have been better. If you find it for cheap, i'd say ignore the reviews and try the game. I enjoyed my time with it
@@ChaosLoungeGaming Ah, yeah my boss told me the same thing. He apparently bought the game and was telling me I would probably like it and to ignore the reviews. Noted.
This is truly one of the games ever made.
It's definitely a game and it was made for sure.😂
@@justintime41776 shut up
