Hearing Zach constantly sounding he's at his wits end with this fucking game is so damn delicious. I really want to watch their playthrough but I can't handle how fucking cringe the dialogue is. I can't, I'm just too weak.
The gameplay and dialogue are mediocre or occasionally funny by accident, but the enture Forspoken playthrough has some of the best bits in recent years
The best part about this, is while these episodes were getting uploaded, so was their Bramble gameplay; and it was just night and day with how in that game it kept not only going against their expectations but even going beyond them in a good way letting them do cool stuff they never thought the game would allow them to😂
What's even worse is that in the "I got to find homer first" thing, she could've taken the money and it wouldn't have hurt the plot at all because she goes into a world where that money isn't worth anything anyways, and she gets captured which could have her be rid of that money. What would've been better is if they said something like "I want to find homer, but the money is tempting" and have her walk slower with the money which means homer dies, and the player would've had to have made their own moral choice regarding keeping homer or the money, but no.
It was actually the most literally brain dead moment I have ever seen in a piece of media. It reminds me of Fallout 3’s ending where the game complains at you for not “sacrificing” yourself for LITERALLY no reason. Like, if you were the writer and just wrote it to where the you never realized that the option existed that’s understandable (you can hardly expect someone to get everything right). But when you understand that’s an option, go through all of the additional work to make the game recognize its potential with models and dialogue, and STILL say “no you can’t do that” you prove that the developers don’t know what they are doing.
It's funny how Psychicpebbles actually sounds like every character he's ever voiced. He never needed to create a voice because his real voice sounds like a cartoon voice. Truly unique.
The combat at least is better than Hogwarts, but the script was written by a boomer that eavesdrop on their kids conversation but never actually talks to them.
In my opinion, it actually improves near the end! Uhhhhh not that it gets any good, because the first half is such a 2/10 that giving it a 4/10 for the second half doesn't even rate it as mid... Forspoken is just disappointing.
@@NothingXemnasthats probably not improvement but if you can handle the game that long your brain most likely adapting to receive all corny dialogs and stupid/cliche plots the game throw at you
I promise you that the writers didn't have any say in this; if you cross your eyes you can actually see an executive that hasn't spoken to their kids in 10 years salivating over the thought of being relatable.
Frey is the reason mute protagonists exist. No, seriouly, I'm not joking. 90% of Frey's lines of dialogue are literally the most superficial comments that go through the player's head. Good writers would realize that and think _"What's even the point? Let's just mute the protagonist and let the player come up with their own comments for their character."_ These writers, on the other hand, just decided _"Let's just make Frey say the most bland and superficial comments, as long as she adds the words 'fuck', 'shit' or 'goddamn' in the middle of the sentence."_
That's what makes the GTA Online pretty funny and interesting. They don't say a word and just express their thoughts/feelings via movement in cutscenes. Don't need a cringey "zinger" when you could just have a mute character have a smarmy look and let yourself come up with what they're saying
This exact mistake is one of the biggest mistakes made in a lot of games that could otherwise be much better, such as fallout 4. Having a voiced protagonist not only is unnecessary, it reduces the roleplay aspect to atoms and the dumbing down of the dialogue options just killed whatever atoms were left of it and reduced it to nothing. Four options with just bare minimum context to what you’re actually about to say. Even with the mod to fix that issue, the dialogue is so poorly written a lot of the time it just kills me.
The one detail missed was, during the fire, Chris says something like “now the bag of money is going to get burned up” since they had to find the cat “first” and the next scene protagonist.exe spits out a big big disappointment quip.
I think also, there was an Alice in wonderland book they found foreshadowing the whole strange world she transports into. Probably less a prediction since it’s the main direction of the game but still agonising enough to mention in an edit like this. lmao
Whenever I watch this video I imagine a group of robed oracles looking into a big cauldron and getting genuinely angry that their stupid predictions about the world are coming true
“Damn it! I owe you another potion…” “Don’t you need to find homer first~?” “TOO SOON, Now there’s gonna be a random out of place dragon!” *One dragon later* Both: Fuck…
Yeah, but I'm sure that would have gotten old and tiresome after a while anyway. It's why I'm glad they don't finish every single game they play. Just play enough to get what they want out of it, and if it's worth it to finish a game, because they're either genuinely enjoying the game play or there's more comedy or content to be had from it, then cool.
Gonna hazard a guess that Lyle has seen enough writing that thinks it’s being clever, relatable and “OOOOOH SOOOO META!!” to just automatically predict the beats, tropes and overused lines that these hacks put out.

I love that by the end they were still perfectly predicting everything but had pretty much resigned themselves to that fate lol. Lyle's depressed "yeah..." at the end perfectly encapsulates just what a dumpster fire this game was.
You're gonna need to make a part two. In the newest episode, they accurately predict the game's twist ending that they'll probably not play long enough to get to.
I have a feeling they stopped playing Forspoken because there is nothing left to take away from the next hour of gameplay. And I don't blame them for it. They could close their eyes and imagine the final half of the game and get the same experience out of it.
How many people played this game and kept saying "OMG THE DIALOGUE IS THIS GAME WAS FREAKING MADE FOR ME!! so EPIC and QUIRKY!!" Like they saw the trailer where she said "There's flipping dragons??" and were like YES I NEED THIS GAME
Thats a kinda stupid analogy when the game already is terrible Josh Whedon writing. MCU capeshit slop makes both the Star Wars Sequels and even Prequels look like deep philosophical works writing wise.
Im honestly convinced alot of the time Companies do this because they know the temporary Internet will make the game seem exciting and controversial - making internet users play right into their hands by advertising their forgettable corporate slop for essentially free and keeping it relevant for a week.
I think the saddest part about "Forgotten" is that the people who wrote the story/dialogue for this game are still working. Proof that nepotism & insider connections matter more than talent/skill.
Little known fact, Lyle was one of the writers for this game. All the cringe dialog is his. He wrote it as a joke since he didn't think it was going to be kept in, but they kept all of it. He unknowingly blocked that terrible experience out of his mind like a childhood trauma event.

"These games don't suck, boys just don't like seeing a strong female protagonist!"
The games in question:
Im honestly convinced alot of the time Companies do this because they know the temporary Internet will make the game seem exciting and controversial - making internet users play right into their hands by advertising their forgettable corporate slop for essentially free and keeping it relevant for a week.
Forspoken writers must have gotten the gig on the Minecraft movie script going by the trailer.
In that fire, she'd be dead of smoke inhalation and the fire being too hot in seconds, because fires do not work that way.
“*Chokes* I WAS JOKING!!” That reaction had me rolling
I need them to play more of this game
I think the saddest part about "Forgotten" is that the people who wrote the story/dialogue for this game are still working. Proof that nepotism & insider connections matter more than talent/skill.
Pretty certain their company went bust after this game.
"this writers should go on strike to get paid better" lmaaaaooooo
Lyle's "GAH" at the last name is what I want my final breath to sound like
Little known fact, Lyle was one of the writers for this game. All the cringe dialog is his. He wrote it as a joke since he didn't think it was going to be kept in, but they kept all of it. He unknowingly blocked that terrible experience out of his mind like a childhood trauma event.
I wish they continued this just so we could laugh at them predicting all of the game
Ding Dong would SCREAM at this game
1:36 "Thiscannotbefukingreal" 🤣🤣🤣
zach going from finding delight in predicting the dialogue to just total exhaustion is so hilarious
"Your next line will be:"
Millenial writing
ayo nice F&H2 termina art
@@tayziko4801 thanks!
Nah it's more like Gen Z writing because you can see the snarky and quirky on the script.
If I remember correctly, Charlie guessed the twist with the dragon correctly. I guess it goes to show how bad the writing was.
Give these boys a Megalixer, the fact this made them both angry and frustrated is just... wow.
0:16 To be fair he only said “You threw a brick at me!” which… yeah is something you’ll yell when a brick is thrown at you
I love that they went from incandescent rage to just complete despair by the end of it
0:40 I can almost hear the blood vessel in Lyle's head burst.
The best part is the dialogue that aren't exact predictions are actually even better than what was said.
Imagine writing so poorly that three people making fun of you are getting your lines right.
