Now May Be the Best Time to Play Forspoken on PS5

All cool additions, but at this point it's probably time to rule out new game plus.
I don't see why they couldn't add it. One of the post game missions is a boss rush so I don't think it would throw off the game's balance.
It's not a huge deal. I can still see myself replaying now and again.

The best time will be when it's on PS Extra soon

I liked the chatter tbh, the banter between them both was funny

I plan to buy the game whenever I see it dirt cheap, $25 tops.

I guess I’ll have to keep my eyes open for the DLC pricing somehow, since that won’t be included in the physical price, or did they ever release a physical Deluxe Edition?

No thanks lol Freya's character and personality is enough to never buy the game.

I actually searched Amazon to see if it had a massive drop in price yesterday. Still like $40ish. So I’m either going to buy it on Black Friday or wait until it hits PS + eventually.

RedFall and Forspoken are duds and i am not sure why anyone would play them when there are serious good games coming in June and beyond.

I'll definitely pick it up at some point for some open world filler, when there's a gap in things to play. Only. However, only On steep discount, which is exactly the same thing I plan to do with jedi survivor.

It does none of us any good to give developers a profitable sum for releasing poorly designed and/or technically or flawed titles.

Best time to play would be when it's offered as part of ps+

With diablo 4 due to drop i cant justify buying any games at all soon. When this lands on extra i'll give it a go as it does look like a game i'd enjoy but like i said..diablo 4..

Kudos to them for not completely abandoning it.

@Nepp67 that's the point though. She's a street kid that's how they talk. She changes over the story.

@Green-Bandit there is practically no game that is so bad, that it won’t find an audience that honestly enjoys it.

I mean, there are some that are truly garbage, but these two at their worst are just mediocre and only got the hate because they were marketed as Triple A titles with huge marketing campaigns.

Well, since many "discerning players" who do not own a 120Hz capable telly but they've got the authority to say that this game is crap, I wonder about Zelda... I'm playing second run with all the good additions, DLC and with the DualSense Edge properly setup, it's great. The combat is superb.

I would not play this if they paid me 😂

@Nepp67 I couldn't agree more.
@Andy22385 I doubt it. I suspect her idiolect and dialect is more a creation of what the adult writer/writers team imagined such a person would speak like.

@DualWielding Nailed it!

As they say, a pig wearing lipstick, is still a pig.

Fair play that they've taken the time to try and redeam themselves and their game, but sometime its better to just mark it down as experience and move on.

I feel like this game gets way more hate than it deserves, personally I really liked it. I enjoyed it more than Hogwarts Legacy even. To each their own, but I have a suspicion that most of the people piling on the game haven't actually played it.

I played the demo. The awful dialogue and typical floaty combat threw me right of it.

Best time to play it is gonna be when it hits 10-15$ for the future "complete edition" with all DLC included, or when it's offered as a monthly PS+ game - whichever comes first.

@Grimwood Was going to say this.

the dialogue still suck a**.. not interested in story or anything

@cassiel You realise that it wasn't graphics that most people were complaining about?

I just started playing this on Sunday, I may have a picked a good time as things like Tanta's familiars following you is just something I've had since starting.

Also really enjoying the game that I may get the DLC.

@Andy22385 Most children in an apocalypse would collapse screaming and yet that doesn't stop developers casting 15-year-olds to save the world.
Or in other words, sometimes you have to take creative liberties for a better experience. Freya being a street kid is an explanation, not an excuse.

@LifeGirl well, the 120Hz mode keeps graphics and smoothness at 60fps+, of course it's not about the graphics, it's people just whining on a game that they've never played and hated it, how stupid is that?

Sweet! Could you also advise as to when would be the best time to have my right foot amputated with a soup spoon?

@cassiel You literally have no proof at all that most of the people complaining have never played the game.
At the very least, this is a PlayStation fansite. We are the people most likely to have played it.

The game has problems at a fundamental level. It's how I feel about the new Saints Row too. This isn't a game that was buggy at launch (even though it kind of was) and just needed a few updates, there were various design choices that just didn't make for a fun game. That's not something a couple patches or updates can fix.

@Tharsman that’s a really good point. I agree with that. I just wish both games would have hit the mark cause i had interest in both at one point.

@LifeGirl And do you have proof? can you play it at 120Hz mode?... and? no you don't, I can tell you that they say the same things, they haven't come with the accessibility settings, display modes, the new additions, etc...

I saw it for £25 at The Game Collection and used my reward points to bring the price down by another £9.

I haven't played it yet but people I know who have said they think it's been given unfair treatment.

Personally I'm looking forward to it.

@haoie What is "kudos"?

I think I'll pass it even when it appear in PS+.

I'm sure it's better but I'm currently playing Zelda and June is coming...

Plus I just didn't like how it played at all. The rough dialog was an issue but it's problems went deeper than that. I hope anyone interested in giving it a go likes it but this game just did nothing for me.

I didn't realise there was ever a good time to play Forspoken...

GOTY material right there

@LifeGirl but that's not realism, as bad as it sounds this is.

@Andy22385 This is a game about a girl who fights monsters on another planet armed with a talking bracelet and magic powers based around how she paints her nails.
Realism has already taken a backseat.

I want to play this game. When a good sale comes, I will get it.

@Stealthieone Two of the most popular games on PlayStation is The Last of Us and GTA5. The former has a female LGBT lead and the latter has a black lead.
The idea that most gamers are anti-anything is not born out by provable reality.

Does it change her dialogue to not be a nasty cow?

Happy to wait for it to be on plus aswell.

I genuinely liked forspoken. It has got way more hate and bad press than it deserves.

Reminds of the backlash against The Order but think forspoken got both barrels while The order just got the one

@Stealthieone Considering the demograph here, you're not going to find many here who see or even want to understand your point. Heck, even in a past article when the actress said she doesn't pay attention to the racist comments that happen to be directed towards her, somehow people twisted it as if she was the sensitive one. You can only laugh at the ignorance.

@Stealthieone Typical comment that calls people racist whenever someone doesn't like the dialogue of a video game. Did you just come off of Twitter or something?

I'm currently playing through Forespoken now and enjoying it. There are some rough edges, but a good experience throughout.

I'm looking forward to the DLC and completing the main game. I will not be 100% it though.

For £25 it was a steal. It's a decent game just not a great one and these days that's basically a crime in most people's eyes 😂

Picked it up for 24.99 from curry's and free delivery
Enjoyed the demo so can live with that

So once again square enix Rush out a game that destroyed a potential new IP and the studio that created it as well. The management at Square enix really need there heads examine. At least they are giving the team time to show the world everything they have worked on.

Would this be better received if they had waited 6 months I don't know personally I think it may have.
