It looks like an interesting idea and world, but I wasn't impressed with what I heard of Frey's character.

Re: [PC/PS5] Forspoken
I tried out the Forspoken demo on PS5 yesterday and was really disappointed in the look of the game. I think it has something to do with the HDR but the graphics seems very washed out and grey which really killed my enjoyment. I went back and looked at the last demo video and the textures and graphics looked significantly downgraded. I also reminded me of Morrowind in that there was a ton of fog in the distance which felt like a cheat in the demo to help with framerates. As far as gameplay I liked the variety of spells but the combat felt pretty boring. The demo didn't do itself any favors but just dropping you in an area with little explanation and you just run around and kill stuff. I feel like this game will be a dud and that is disappointing.

Re: [PC/PS5] Forspoken
Reviews are out and I’m on the fence. A couple of pretty good reviews, but more skewing to the bad side. Why is this game so pricey!? I guess I could wait for a sale but patience is not one of my strong suits. Any one else interested?

I was going to buy day one but am backing off for a sale unless the player reaction ends up being stronger than the mixed reaction it got from the critics. We also got no PC reviews...

Same. I'm sure I'll pick it up on sale at some point, but I'm not in a hurry.
Squeenix has such a bad track record of janky PC ports that I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.

Re: [PC/PS5] Forspoken
Yeah that demo did the game no favors for me. At this point Hogwarts looks like a better option if you want magic and high fantasy.

Re: [PC/PS5] Forspoken
Playing the demo now. Its cool and not cool.
Games looks good and theres a nice map that als is pretty. But the controls lack for me and her crochet cape or whatever is very distracting billowing around. The map is slooooow to open for something I like to open every 20 feet or so lol. And the controls are not that great. Has good menus and shortcuts but controlling her though is lacking. It may be hurting me as Im having to play on LOW graphics to get any frame rates going. It wouldn't even allow me to choose STANDARD and HIGH is a slideshow. I enjoy the chat between her and the bracelet ....plus she cusses which I find I like as she is a New Yorker and all games lack this usually.
I am interested in Hogwarts but Ive never watched the movies just video clips. It looks amazing but I know my pc wouldn't run that.
