Forspoken official Thread (PS5/PC) OUT NOW!

[Legal]

I'mma let you cook, but a quick scan of ol' girl's Twitter account suggests she might have her own agenda for propping this one up.

If she likes it, it's whatever, but I'm beyond tired of people acting like if you, or other people don't like something, you're factually wrong. If we're supposedly regarding video games as art, rule number one is that art is subjective.

Most games are 7/10. Not stopping me if it’s fun to play. Already ordered on PSN anyway.

Game was never going to break 80 with a black female lead and 99% of reviewers being white men. They could never see themselves in the role of the main protagonist.

I’m still locked in for tonight with usual party gifts on day one release

Guess I’ll wait for a price drop

Demo was wack as hell imo and it wasn't because of no dialogue. I knew this shyt was gonna be mid. I rather Square just make a new FF game and have black characters play a main character role since those games are self contained and aren't based off of real locations.

Square's black characters in final fantasy are bad too.

Let's be honest, barret is a racist caricature of a black person. Their best black character had an afro with a chicken living in it.

They’re both pretty much comic relief

Square will never make a black character in their games like Vincent or Cloud

If this doesn't show you white bias I don't know what will. Game starring a black girl was always going to get shytted on by these Cacs

They got close with the breh from 13, he was hands down the most reasonable and relatable member of the team. All they had to do was give him a decent design, but square had to throw a chicken in his hair because they couldn't help but to add a hint of racist stereotyping into his design.

I was already on the fence about this game but the reviews solidified my worries. I'll pass on this. Next game I buy will be Hogwarts.

Fam they gave Sazh two glocks as his weapon lmao. Why all the black FF characters gotta be the gunner class?

The end.

wait…I’m lost…I thought folks admitted the game was mid after playing the demo…how are folks back to “blaming” the scores/reviews on the main character’s race?

Next game they might make a black "black mage" and have him casting spells out the barrel of a shotty.

They should have turned this into a FF. Like I said earlier, I'm always down for new IPs, but this is always the risk with them. You put a Black lead into FFXVII and it doesn't matter what the a$$holes say on the net, no one is skipping the next FF entry.
