noticed that more gameplay focused channels are more satisfied with the game. this is definitely the type of games where people who enjoy deep mechanics will enjoy more
@@chumunga648 so far I'm enjoying the game tremendously apart from the weird voice lines and constant stop to talk for long periods of time. Overall it's pretty amazing, definitely not refunding.
@@UEENavy same for me. I like exploring every corner. As you said some of the dialogue is long. It breaks immersion a bit, but not a game breaker for me.
I completely agree! This is not a 10/10 game by all means, but it is a lot of fun. I'm enjoying the lore and story also (huge Isekai fan lol), as well as the exploration. I'm honestly baffled by many of the negative reviews. If you take the time to actually play the game, you'll find that many of the arguments are just plain wrong IMO.
Hey Khraze i just want to let you know that there are those of us that appreciate the coverage and arent just trolls. Still looking forward to this game and Im glad you never pile on the hate train and still try and find the fun in games that arent only 9’s and 10ms Thanks so much for the tips to start!
Honestly, if AssCreed Odyssey can get 9s, this game is at least an 8. Sure it's janky, and eats VRAM like Kirby eats strawberry shortcake, but it's not balanced around ballbusting microtransactions, it plays pretty great (especially the combat), and the writing is at worst average. People are just weird.
@Felis Impurrator considering how games generally turn out these days especially with the mechanics and graphics the gameplay could've been a flop. I can deal with average writing and a somewhat alright story. I haven't been this mobile in a game acrobatic wise since Sunset Overdrive and the New Spiderman titles. Also thankfully it doesn't seem overly woke. I can get over the whole nail aesthetic as well considering it's a female lead.
For real dude at some points I spent like a solid half hour throughout a couple chapters chasing mana spots lmao or going in a labyrinth and getting a cloak or nails or something I’ve beat the story like a couple days ago and still every night after work I just chase after the gear lmao
thaks for the tips, man. really appreciated. i was getting tired of only finding people dunking on the game without even playing it first. glad you are here
@@musashi66973 They literally don’t even talk that much outside of cutscenes, but yes you can turn down the frequency of the chatter. It’s honestly nice to have them break the silence every once in a while though while going off track.
Thanks for sharing! Great tips! I am currently navigating Chapter 8 and have really been enjoying gameplay so far! Changing the settings to automatic healing, support spell switching and item gathering at the very beginning have made all the difference in the world! I am obsessed with upgrading the spells, cloaks and necklaces, so I have been completing as many skill challenges as quickly as I collect enough mana! Tapping on the east and west buttons on the D-pad makes it easy to switch among the skill elements while in combat which also made all the difference as well! BTW, the drag and drop ranged attack is perfect for pulling flying enemies close to you so that you wipe them out and keep them from attacking from above!
It’s not about being toxic. It’s about wanting better and not settling for whatever mess Square Enix pushes out. The more we accept stuff like this, the more they’ll lower the standards.
@@dersedarktide7530 it is toxic. The game is fun and has impressive gameplay but most reviewers don't mention that and are fixated on the dialogue. A game doesn't need to be perfect to be good, especially if the important parts (gameplay) are very good
@@HARLEM-NEWYORK I’ve listened to many reviews on Forspoken and the consensus is that the gameplay is fun, but marred with flaws. Gameplay isn’t the only piece to a game’s experience. The characters, the story, the visuals, and how well the game runs are all important factors to what makes a game good. If each of those parts are lacking, the experience suffers. There’s plenty of great games that do it all and Forspoken isn’t one of them. It certainly isn’t the worst game in the world and you can have fun with it if you ignore some of it’s glaring issues but the point is that you shouldn’t have to in order to enjoy the game. The truth is, the game had potential and it shows in the gameplay but everything around it brings the game down. And the real kicker is that Square Enix can do better. When we accept this, we tell Square Enix that it’s okay if the game is poorly optimized. It’s okay that the graphics are barely next gen, while still demanding next gen hardware. It’s okay that the story is lacking and the characters are unlikeable. Because we’ll still buy it.
@@HARLEM-NEWYORK to quote Henry Cavill, fans are not toxic - they're passionate. It's fine if you like the game, nobody is stopping you, but calling people who don't agree with you "toxic" is childish

The game is nice, pleasant, and enjoyable to play. Most people tend to hate the game because of reviews, but most of the time, reviews are wrong, or they just have a different taste from you.
Thank you for actually covering the game, not just some dialogues. Like seriously, those people are proof that hate is more clickable these days. It's so pathetic. Anyways, cheers dude! Here's a sub and can't wait for more videos :3
This game was genuinely so fun. It had it's cringe moments, but not nearly as many as people pretended there were. And even those were completely overshadowed by one of the most fun magic systems I have ever played. And honestly for two first time writers, the story wasn't even bad - just needed a couple more revisions that it unfortunately never got.
Those 'monster-y remains', as you dubbed them, where Mana Pools tend to cluster around; I think they're left-over from the evil 'tree' that the Reddig were using to reconstitute Susurrus, in 'In Tanta We Trust'...
Due to life I just haven't had time to play this game as much as I want to. I didn't even get the fire spells yet. But from what I've played I've been really enjoying it.
Thanks for the video! Played the game a little last night and it's fun but slow in the beginning, and takes time before you can run around the world. Combat tip im definitely going to do when I play again, it's kind of a tricky to keep switching and what not. Glad I didn't do the deluxe edition cause I dont think its worth that much. But im excited too see the story and combat improve as I go.
@@plutotbh I believe it was after chapter 3. That even gives you a bunch of side quests as well. And they are time sensitive so if you continue the story without doing them you loose them. Gives you a warning in game as well.

I just buy the game yesterday and not earlier.because I heard a lot of negativity about the game . But man .. I’m happy I give it the chance 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I’m enjoying it a lot . Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks for this. You really made me more excited for late-game stuff. I'm really enjoying the game, and don't understand over half of the complaints (even though I do agree with a few others, like the cutscene pauses)
It's just average writing and people think her dialogue is just a bit too Disney highschool style sort of cringe but that's a very small part of it imo. The game has amazing mechanics and combat. These days considering games turn out like cyber punk release having gameplay over story is a sacrifice I don't mind
It's better to max out all the challenges because there is a few fingers that gives u more damage depending on how many u complete the challenges to do more damage, I found a few but I did not have the rocks to equipe it,😒.
I'm actually on the way to purchase this right now. I think the criticisms of this game are fair. However they wouldn't bother me a ton. Saving this clip to watch it later to remember
Game is overpriced, but only because 70 dollars floor price and 20 more for digital deluxe is unjustified for any game today. Yes, even those ones. Yes, really. No regional pricing is also a dick move, but Square-Enix has been doing that with everything. Not the game's fault. But you know what, it's at least worth a full 60. It's janky, but runs better than a lot of AAA releases nowadays. It's a complete goddamn single-player game with the DLC being additional content that comes before the main game, not stuff ripped out to sell back to you. It doesn't have bullshit microtransactions and apparently will be getting NG+ post launch. More importantly, other than the sticker price being subject to Square-Enix nonsense, the underlying game is pretty damn good. Performance issues? Absolutely. Here's hoping they get patched. But this is already a better game than Cyberpunk at launch. It's fun, not egregiously buggy, the systems work well other than some issues with XP grinding and the equipment buffs not being significant enough (which is literally a matter of numbers being raised, easy fix), the combat is fluid and intuitive, the open world is solidly designed and great to move around in... Really, it just needs performance and balance patches to be a rock solid game. As for the writing, it's fine. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fine. The characters are written believably for their situation, generally. Pacing is a bit messy, but it's at least average at worst, and sometimes actually good. Voice acting is great. Graphics... Are actually pretty good when they work. When the game isn't unloading textures because of the spaghetti code, it looks great - skin details are incredible, faces look distinct and like actual regular people rather than anime characters or supermodels. Music isn't the most amazing but it's not bad either. Art design is actually pretty dope. The open world has a reason to be empty, but it at least makes "empty" look pretty good. People gave Cyberpunk 9s on release and the yearly AssCreeds higher than this, even though it's actually a better game than the ACs after Origins. Really now...
@BloodOf Shadows crag grass is rarer. The most common ones I know respawn. The stuff you find many clustered together. The uncommon and rare stuff probably not honestly or it's a long respawn time. Mana pools most likely do not respawn at all. Unless...(and I'm not far enough to check this yet) if you go from one main region to another then back later some may respawn I dunno 🤷
I’m at end game and have almost 3000 mana and have never had any problem obtaining resources… one thing to remember in this game is where you gather certain plants because they do grow in specific areas(when you find some in an area keep searching because there’s a ton more around)
@@georgejones5019 performance could be tightened up but does that make it a 6? The dialog and story seems like it depends on personal preference. Some people liked it some people didn’t. A majority liked the combat and traversal.
@@georgejones5019 "It's poorly optimized. It's poorly written. The controls are awkward. It's also $80." So it's just like Elden Ring, except Elden Ring barely has a story.
I’ll never understand why this game got so much hate it’s so different then what I’m used I had to got out and get a ps5 to play it. I don’t even like the ps5 but this game is so much fun and entertaining.
Just purchased this game after all the hate disappeared glad I did the voice acting is not as cringe as the majority of reviewer's claim it to be just not the best but serviceable the game play is simply fun addicting and fluid the world is cool most definitely not boring to traverse and overall really enjoying it almost done waiting on the dlc
Magic parkour, tapping regular attack 3 times then holding, and immediately holding r2 after a support spell, all immediately put your attack spells into level 3.
Personally I love Forspoken in spite of its flaws. It really shines in raw mechanics especially with combat and movement but it feels like they prioritized raw mechanics over story and characters. While I am fine with that I can see why some people would be turned off by that. I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as the reviews say in that regard just mediocre. If I was rating it purely off mechanics it would be an easy 8 or 9 but the flaws drag it down to a 6 or 7.
Honestly I feel like they could learn from their mistakes and just make a better story next time. Maybe even a new character to sort of have a fresh restart. I'd assume it wouldn't be impossible to use the same world or end up in another world rather
@@TheFool12-12 a prequel taking place during the war sounds pretty cool and they have a basic foundation. A lot of people just hopped on the hate train rather than giving it a fair chance.
@Alice Hiess yeah I've noticed that a ton lately with games. Half the movies that come out nowadays especially woke crap tend to deserve all the hate they get but people are just overly critical of every game that comes out nowadays. Nobody can seem to enjoy anything unless it feels like crack to them.
@@TheFool12-12 i did feel like 70 dollars was a bit much for what the game offered but i think 50 dollars is perfectly reasonable if your the type of gamer who focuses heavily on the mechanical aspects of games like me. It's one of the reasons why i like the souls series so much. It focuses heavily on gameplay and lets you choose whether or not to engage with the story and lore.
@Alice Hiess yeah would've been fair to have it at 50 but honestly I'd like to say 70 is still too much for any game. I mean games are still 60 bucks on PC I'm pretty sure right?
Dialog is terrible, but can be reduced a bit or just skipped, price is worth $40 max, but game is no where near as terrible as these idiots in the comments make it seem.
Good stuff this game really deserves some respect! The combat and traversal systems are so unique. So glad to hear they got dlc coming looks really good
Imagine buying a game and trying it for yourself rather then listening to others. So many people just jumping on the hate train because they're a bunch of sheep
Definitely the first video that was not all negative and after reading the comments i will give it a try looks pretty cool and I like exploring every corner
Its insane. I understood it for Saints Row cause that game was buggy as hell but this game isnt broken. Its just got some design flaws that some dont care cause theyre having fun more. I expected better from this community but i guess the trolls are just rampant on launch days
“Hur hur hur buying the game was the first mistake lol” Seriously people, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you need to shit on other people that do; don’t be assholes
@@Tyrbris dumbass if you like the game buy and play it, if you don't then don't buy it .stop whining about what others are doing. you complain about everyone hacking on hogwarts but you do the same thing with this game. hmmm so this means you are as woke as them. let people buy and play what they want and stop telling them what they can't buy and or should play
I've been playing this game and I'm glad to see an overview that's not negative. I've been having fun exploring the big open world of Athia! While the writing is just meh, the gameplay and battles are great!
I find myself grumbling “STFU!” anytime she says something. I can’t stand their bickering but I wish there was a spell to zip her mouth. I understand it’s her adolescent mentality for the script but when it’s the same several lines repeating repeatedly repeated, it’s gets repetitive… as if the game wasn’t repetitive enough. Latecomer to the game (it was never on sale until recently!) but I’m enjoying it so far! Just got Sila’s power 💥 but I was able to immediately max upgrade all the spells with what I’ve got. Is that normal?
From all the other reviews I'm glad I saved my cash. Glad you're enjoying it, but i's not for me. The game world looks bland, empty. Not very next Gen when you look at other titles like AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, Ghosts of Tsushima etc.
The game world looks bland, so is AC Valhalla, CP, Zero dawn and they are all repetitive. Played and completed those, I can’t even bother to explore fully the maps as it’s all the same stuff repetitive and bland.
Great review but your pronunciation of the word Belfry is killing me. I find that there is some words gamers can't pronounce in every game. Belfry like french fry!
You gotta remember, on ps and Xbox this game is just average so if it looks cools it might be worth it. On pc this game is horrible and unacceptable, at the end of the day that is the reason for the hate.
The hate campaign will be over in a month or two once the clicks decrease. Videos about how good the game is will emerge. And the view counts on videos like this will increase dramatically.
Bad optimization, Forspoken's graphics do not justify the specs it's asking for on the PC. Hogwarts Legacy runs circles around it graphically, and it has a lower spec requirement.
This game isn't _nearly_ as bad as people like to say. Sure it's got it's rough spots, *every game does,* but it's still enjoyable. Not saying this to justify spending a ridiculous $70 on it either because I got it for $30 "thanks" to all the negativity.
stop whining about what others are doing. you complain about everyone hacking on hogwarts but you do the same thing with this game hmmm so this means you are as woke as them. let people buy and play what they want and stop telling them what they can't buy and or should play.hate this behavior
The dialouge is almost unbearable and graphics are meh but damn combat and traversing has me just zipping around and playing around with skills for hours.
I hope this comment was based off your own personal preferences, biases, prejudices, rationality and not simply being a content creators echo-chamber who said the game was doo doo.
This game definitely has mixed reviews. Most reviewers don't like it because of the dialogue. Most gamers like it because the gameplay and combat is very good and find the dialogue/story to be subjective. Glad you know your just a sheep
It really isn't... But I realize there's a group of you that don't want devs to make a game with a main character like this anymore, so you are going on every video trying to sway public opinion by exaggerating a game you haven't played... I'm playing it and I like it... You know... Because I have a mind of my own
@@cruzanassassinI think this is the FIRST ever game with a black woman as a mc in a triple A game… So there are no other main characters like “this” either

I'm actually on the way to purchase this right now. I think the criticisms of this game are fair. However they wouldn't bother me a ton. Saving this clip to watch it later to remember
Game is overpriced, but only because 70 dollars floor price and 20 more for digital deluxe is unjustified for any game today. Yes, even those ones. Yes, really. No regional pricing is also a dick move, but Square-Enix has been doing that with everything. Not the game's fault.
But you know what, it's at least worth a full 60. It's janky, but runs better than a lot of AAA releases nowadays. It's a complete goddamn single-player game with the DLC being additional content that comes before the main game, not stuff ripped out to sell back to you. It doesn't have bullshit microtransactions and apparently will be getting NG+ post launch.
More importantly, other than the sticker price being subject to Square-Enix nonsense, the underlying game is pretty damn good. Performance issues? Absolutely. Here's hoping they get patched. But this is already a better game than Cyberpunk at launch. It's fun, not egregiously buggy, the systems work well other than some issues with XP grinding and the equipment buffs not being significant enough (which is literally a matter of numbers being raised, easy fix), the combat is fluid and intuitive, the open world is solidly designed and great to move around in... Really, it just needs performance and balance patches to be a rock solid game.
As for the writing, it's fine. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fine. The characters are written believably for their situation, generally. Pacing is a bit messy, but it's at least average at worst, and sometimes actually good. Voice acting is great.
Graphics... Are actually pretty good when they work. When the game isn't unloading textures because of the spaghetti code, it looks great - skin details are incredible, faces look distinct and like actual regular people rather than anime characters or supermodels. Music isn't the most amazing but it's not bad either. Art design is actually pretty dope. The open world has a reason to be empty, but it at least makes "empty" look pretty good.
People gave Cyberpunk 9s on release and the yearly AssCreeds higher than this, even though it's actually a better game than the ACs after Origins. Really now...
It's called quick charge it's in the tutorial.
The thing is, people irl talk worse then Frey 😂, I am loving the magic spells, i mean come on, it’s magic
Genuine questions thats plaguing my mind; Do resources respawn? Mana Pools, Minerals, Herbs, Do any of them respawn or are there x amount permanently?
Some do, mana pools probably not.
@@mikegregory4386 What about Crag Grass? The upgrade materials? Balm Flax?
@BloodOf Shadows crag grass is rarer. The most common ones I know respawn. The stuff you find many clustered together. The uncommon and rare stuff probably not honestly or it's a long respawn time. Mana pools most likely do not respawn at all. Unless...(and I'm not far enough to check this yet) if you go from one main region to another then back later some may respawn I dunno 🤷
I’m at end game and have almost 3000 mana and have never had any problem obtaining resources… one thing to remember in this game is where you gather certain plants because they do grow in specific areas(when you find some in an area keep searching because there’s a ton more around)
This game looks cool to me. Don’t understand it’s getting all the hate on social media
It's poorly optimized. It's poorly written. The controls are awkward. It's also $80.
@@georgejones5019 it's $70
You understand why...
@@georgejones5019 performance could be tightened up but does that make it a 6? The dialog and story seems like it depends on personal preference. Some people liked it some people didn’t. A majority liked the combat and traversal.
@@georgejones5019 "It's poorly optimized. It's poorly written. The controls are awkward. It's also $80."
So it's just like Elden Ring, except Elden Ring barely has a story.
For 17.99 this is way better than I expected I like it
I’ll never understand why this game got so much hate it’s so different then what I’m used I had to got out and get a ps5 to play it. I don’t even like the ps5 but this game is so much fun and entertaining.
Just purchased this game after all the hate disappeared glad I did the voice acting is not as cringe as the majority of reviewer's claim it to be just not the best but serviceable the game play is simply fun addicting and fluid the world is cool most definitely not boring to traverse and overall really enjoying it almost done waiting on the dlc
I’m having some trouble understanding the animation cancel, does it have to be magical parkour or just running?
Magic parkour, tapping regular attack 3 times then holding, and immediately holding r2 after a support spell, all immediately put your attack spells into level 3.
Mistake 1. Buying the game.
Thanks for helping.
Not many people end up fucking doing this they Haye on it half the time.
Thanks for just enjoying and helping.
Personally I love Forspoken in spite of its flaws. It really shines in raw mechanics especially with combat and movement but it feels like they prioritized raw mechanics over story and characters. While I am fine with that I can see why some people would be turned off by that. I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as the reviews say in that regard just mediocre. If I was rating it purely off mechanics it would be an easy 8 or 9 but the flaws drag it down to a 6 or 7.
Honestly I feel like they could learn from their mistakes and just make a better story next time. Maybe even a new character to sort of have a fresh restart. I'd assume it wouldn't be impossible to use the same world or end up in another world rather
@@TheFool12-12 a prequel taking place during the war sounds pretty cool and they have a basic foundation. A lot of people just hopped on the hate train rather than giving it a fair chance.
@Alice Hiess yeah I've noticed that a ton lately with games. Half the movies that come out nowadays especially woke crap tend to deserve all the hate they get but people are just overly critical of every game that comes out nowadays. Nobody can seem to enjoy anything unless it feels like crack to them.
@@TheFool12-12 i did feel like 70 dollars was a bit much for what the game offered but i think 50 dollars is perfectly reasonable if your the type of gamer who focuses heavily on the mechanical aspects of games like me. It's one of the reasons why i like the souls series so much. It focuses heavily on gameplay and lets you choose whether or not to engage with the story and lore.
@Alice Hiess yeah would've been fair to have it at 50 but honestly I'd like to say 70 is still too much for any game. I mean games are still 60 bucks on PC I'm pretty sure right?
This is a great game I enjoy playing it.
Dialog is terrible, but can be reduced a bit or just skipped, price is worth $40 max, but game is no where near as terrible as these idiots in the comments make it seem.
Good stuff this game really deserves some respect! The combat and traversal systems are so unique. So glad to hear they got dlc coming looks really good
1 ) buying the game 2) playing it
Yes
hahaahahah
100% it’s utter shit lol
Absolutely
Hell yeah same
Just subbed great play and build waiting to see what else you have and may steal a couple tips from u.
Imagine buying a game and trying it for yourself rather then listening to others. So many people just jumping on the hate train because they're a bunch of sheep
Definitely the first video that was not all negative and after reading the comments i will give it a try looks pretty cool and I like exploring every corner
Here comes the hate bandwagon
Its insane. I understood it for Saints Row cause that game was buggy as hell but this game isnt broken. Its just got some design flaws that some dont care cause theyre having fun more.
I expected better from this community but i guess the trolls are just rampant on launch days
@@royalwarlord2342 yes everyone else’s fault save the devs who took your money. Got it
Devs in comments
“Hur hur hur buying the game was the first mistake lol”
Seriously people, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you need to shit on other people that do; don’t be assholes
Yes we do.
@@Tyrbris dumbass if you like the game buy and play it, if you don't then don't buy it .stop whining about what others are doing. you complain about everyone hacking on hogwarts but you do the same thing with this game. hmmm so this means you are as woke as them. let people buy and play what they want and stop telling them what they can't buy and or should play
@@Tyrbris loser
@@Tyrbris sure if you want to be obnoxious and immature. Get a life.
cant seem to get the animation cancel down
Fun game for holding 4 buttons for basically everything.. 😂
1st mistake was getting this game lol
But can I transfer my cloak upgrades to a better one later on..🤣🤣
Great review love this game 🎮
Whats the update for the game about today
Game is great
I went to have a look on Steam at this and they're charging £64.99 for the BASIC game, £89.98 if you want the deluxe version. Are they fucking crazy?!
thank u!
I've been playing this game and I'm glad to see an overview that's not negative. I've been having fun exploring the big open world of Athia! While the writing is just meh, the gameplay and battles are great!
I've been having a blast with this game. So thrown off by all these angry reviews. It's like I'm playing a completely different game from them.
Me watching this video not owning the game: 🧐
I find myself grumbling “STFU!” anytime she says something. I can’t stand their bickering but I wish there was a spell to zip her mouth. I understand it’s her adolescent mentality for the script but when it’s the same several lines repeating repeatedly repeated, it’s gets repetitive… as if the game wasn’t repetitive enough. Latecomer to the game (it was never on sale until recently!) but I’m enjoying it so far! Just got Sila’s power 💥 but I was able to immediately max upgrade all the spells with what I’ve got. Is that normal?
Nice. First flop 2023.
lets hope Final Fantasy 16 will be better - like WAY better.
The biggest mistake you can make is buying this POS, wish I listened to reviews
From all the other reviews I'm glad I saved my cash. Glad you're enjoying it, but i's not for me. The game world looks bland, empty. Not very next Gen when you look at other titles like AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, Ghosts of Tsushima etc.
Horizon zero dawn is last gen and this game is very next gen looking, it just has everything else wrong with it.
Horizon zero dawn is last gen and this game is very next gen looking, it just has everything else wrong with it.
Elden Ring is also bland and empty... At least this combat is more entertaining
The game world looks bland, so is AC Valhalla, CP, Zero dawn and they are all repetitive. Played and completed those, I can’t even bother to explore fully the maps as it’s all the same stuff repetitive and bland.
@@cruzanassassin Are you trying to say this piece of shit is better than Elden Ring?
Great review but your pronunciation of the word Belfry is killing me. I find that there is some words gamers can't pronounce in every game. Belfry like french fry!
You gotta remember, on ps and Xbox this game is just average so if it looks cools it might be worth it. On pc this game is horrible and unacceptable, at the end of the day that is the reason for the hate.
The hate campaign will be over in a month or two once the clicks decrease. Videos about how good the game is will emerge. And the view counts on videos like this will increase dramatically.
Graphic looks terrible but need rtx???
Bad optimization, Forspoken's graphics do not justify the specs it's asking for on the PC. Hogwarts Legacy runs circles around it graphically, and it has a lower spec requirement.
What is with all the negativity around this game? This is the only video I have seen that’s positive and it looks great.
& I STRONGLY recommend that you DONT turn on “auto spell switch” unless you just want to spam the enemy without… ya know using tactics lol
1st is that you even just bought this game
This game isn't _nearly_ as bad as people like to say. Sure it's got it's rough spots, *every game does,* but it's still enjoyable.
Not saying this to justify spending a ridiculous $70 on it either because I got it for $30 "thanks" to all the negativity.
First mistake is buying the game
Honestly the game i de isn't that bad. I bought it for 20$
stop whining about what others are doing. you complain about everyone hacking on hogwarts but you do the same thing with this game hmmm so this means you are as woke as them. let people buy and play what they want and stop telling them what they can't buy and or should play.hate this behavior

You sound like a 5 year old child.
@@CLARENCErr Naw, aint wasting my precious time on this dumpster fire. You do You though😆
@@CLARENCErr need your diaper changed?
This game definitely has mixed reviews. Most reviewers don't like it because of the dialogue. Most gamers like it because the gameplay and combat is very good and find the dialogue/story to be subjective. Glad you know your just a sheep
To be fair, if you bought a game with so many issues at $70, you already made the biggest mistake possible.
Worst game of 2023.
It really isn't... But I realize there's a group of you that don't want devs to make a game with a main character like this anymore, so you are going on every video trying to sway public opinion by exaggerating a game you haven't played... I'm playing it and I like it... You know... Because I have a mind of my own
@@cruzanassassinI think this is the FIRST ever game with a black woman as a mc in a triple A game… So there are no other main characters like “this” either
@@megamanx1291 that's my point... They don't want them to do it again

@rsh4599 this isn't remotely true... There's 100 games with white people, then 1 or 2 with POC get released, and some white ppl get like: "EVERY GAME HAS BLACKS" 😂
