Came in here to see thoughts from people that actually played the game...
Found stans throwing random review scores from every game possible back and forth.
Honestly, I saw a trailer for this game a single time...thought the movement looked decent and that was it.
Never really had it on my radar at all, especially around God Of War Ragnarok, Modern Warfare 2, and my backlog.
I just finished beating FF7 Crisis Core Reunion which was a complete chore. I gave it a hard 6 out of 10. I don't consider it complete garbage but...it definitely had a few moments that felt like it was going to the bushes.
All that said, the behavior in this thread coupled with the low reviews makes me think this is a late year 50% off cop for the pleasant surprise that it wasn't complete trash like initially thought.

Reviewers and outlets really overhated on this game to try and sink a new IP with a black female protag straight in the water :wow:. Not too far in but this game is something solid so far. Honestly not regretting dropping the extra bread to cop the Digital Deluxe. Hope this gets off the ground. We need something new.

I'm pretty sure you'd like this more than Crisis Core at the very least.

It's not outrage, it's just criticism, tlou 2 leaks was outrage. Why didn't deathloop, watch dogs 2 or miles morales have this same problem? Miles' voice actor isn't good, but he's not so bad that it takes away from the overall experience.

'Is that a motherfukking dragon'

'Did I just do that? I did not just do that. I just moved shyt with my mind. I just freaking moved shyt with my mind! Yeah, okay, that is something I do now.'

Whedon-esque dialogue is bad enough, but to do it poorly and have a mediocre performance is intolerable in my opinion. I don't think Forspokens' criticism is 100% due to cacs resentment towards playing a Black character.

No disrespect but how do you honestly expect her to sound?

Everything you're quoting seems to respect the fact that she's a New Yorker being dropped in the middle of a fantasy world.

I mean, that doesn't sound bad to me? It ain't like this person is a native to that world. It's like imagine if you took Ice Cube and put him in this world he'd be saying the same shyt. "What? nikka where the fukk do I gotta go!?"

Imagine if they made the game really authentic to NYC and had Frey saying shyt like "my guy" and "deadass" to the people in that world :heh:

All these cac gamers wouldve lost it

If Frey had an idle animation where she takes out her smartphone and did the Harlem Shake this would be GOTY.

I’ll give you my impressions later on today when it’s delivered I bought it because I had a gift card on Amazon but I definitely would have waited for sale otherwise

No @winb83 has supported Microsoft buying Activision/Blizzard and has said that Sony is pretty much a hog with their purchases. That's been most of interactions on here. So I don't think the bolded is fair.

Buddy legit has the mentality of a 12 year old. Oh anyone who doesnt agree with me is a big meanie sony stan. Embarassing

I knew this game would be flames:umad:

It’s like people don’t remember when idk everything that dropped wasn’t a home run, this is a solid game so far

Edit: I got this on the hardest difficulty to brehs you better as well:ufdup:

This game is fukking BADASS, I knew it I have faith in this game :banderas:

This game got my money's worth

I'll take my Coli brehs word for it over some agenda driven cacs reviews. :salute:

Playing through Crisis Core and Zach's dialogue is corny as hell but I still love the game.

The irony:mjlol:

That’s literally what y’all did throughout this thread.

Calling everyone else bias. Racist, Stans, etc cause a game you wanted to review well didn’t review well.

Posting reviews of other games to throw them under the bus. And this is before any of you had even touched the game.

All cause it’s a “sony exclusive” :francis:
