Is "repeat the same line over and over" the hot new thing in AAA gaming?

The writing there is not to my taste but Marvel still sells like gangbusters so somebody must like it

roiland's logorrhea is a separate flavor of awful from marvel's compulsive wry detachment, but forespoken's not doing a very good job of copying the latter so there's probably some crossover

Believe me I could write a way too long post about the seemingly well intentioned but ultimately harmful changes made from 1 to 2 but also to itself. Ubisoft’s ongoing development floundering didn’t help either.

1 and Watch Dogs 2 came out in the same year and something about both of them is a lightning in a bottle situation that ubisoft destroyed and will never be able to replicate again.

Yeah. There was some hope that it was just a matter of a separate trailer production team going for a weird tone that wouldn't necessarily be reproduced ingame, but now it sure seems like that was on purpose and the whole game is like that. :psyduck:

it opens with the main character in a courtroom for their third felony charge, who is told by the judge to look at court documents, which includes... her high school diploma and a picture of her as an orphaned baby

Forspoken looks really stylish with the spell effects and the weird menu designs

like instead of gear you equip different magical nail polish, here's the menu for it

(sadly it still has the AAA gamedesign rot of randomly generated loot with "+3% to random stat" instead of being a smaller pool of actually interesting equipment to craft/discover/earn)

From the demo it seems like it is basically just one button combat though which sounds extremely lame. If you equip the pebble throw then all you're doing is mashing r2 to throw pebbles over and over while damage numbers pop out of baddies

It's Whedonism so it's all Millennials in their 30s and 40s writing this poo poo 4 to 5 years ago if you account for AAA production time lines.

I did think it was a little overindulgent when Frey said "Wow I'm literally dead no cap" on the killscreen.

I liked the demo, but yet I still feel uneasy about the game. There are so many red flags, and it feels like its going to turn out the demo was the best slice of the game that Square could put together, and the rest of it is a disaster. It's bad enough that Forspoken shown two years ago, and then what was shown in the demo, is a wildly different game fidelity wise. Like, this is worst than Watch_Dogs E3 footage vs. actual release. Yet the game struggles on even the PlayStation 5.

I would argue that the Forespoken clip is worse because at least the High on Life clip is an in-gameplay thing you can easily walk away from, from what I could tell. That Forespoken clip was literally a cutscene that they make you watch (Putting aside if cutscenes are skipable).

Personally, I would find it a bit more cute, if still cringe but at least nomoreso than usual, if it were just some gameplay banter while you are doing the tutorial and if it was half as long.
