Wow, could NOT get into this. Felt janky all over. Granted that I played this right after a session of Returnal, but come on.

I’m not at all surprised by the reactions I’ve been seeing. I had hope, but this is the Final Fantasy XV team. Of course the movement is going to feel heavy and horrible and the combat is going to feel clunky and janky.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Can’t turn it off, am i just dumb??? Where in screen options is it????

Maybe it'll be less annoying if you can't understand the dialogue.

see, me, on the other hand, regret that they dubbed it in english...
Hdr looks OK if u turn down the gamma by 1
Honestly if they made the story about some ancient wizard fighting In a fantasy world for some reason. I'd be for it but this is just modern pandering .

Ps5, system level.
Playing the demo a bit more and I'm at least sold on the combat. Definitely a LOT of shit going on, and they clearly are leaning heavy on the combat to sell the game. Playing it does feel like FF15 as mentioned before, but a lot faster. . .by quite a bit. Definitely turn on "Toggle" for the Magic menus as it basically slows everything down to a crawl (just like in HFW) and feels a lot less frantic. Which the combat is. In spades.
HDR is for sure busted on this. Turning it off in system settings makes the sun not blinding and anything in shadows actually visible. Also, anyone moaning about this being a "last generation game" - please. Show the PS4/XB1 games that are able to handle the particle and effects work going on in this game while maintaining a rather decent framerate (not sure where these "stutter" comments are coming from).
Do tell.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I'm not sure what to think....
Game is very polished and seems to be where all the budget for all SE games has gone to.
But I'm not sure if I like it or what I am supposed to be doing.
All I'm doing is running around killing the same things over & over again.
Am I missing something?
And she doesn't shut up and what's worse is she hasn't got much to say so she repeats herself.
And what's with the swearing
Yeah I don't know what it think

It's a slice of open world, the lack of a proper intro to the story etc. hurts the demo more than anything.I'm not sure what to think....

Can't help for the other things but you can lower down the frequency of the banter in the options.
I'm about to try the demo for the first time after i finish this post, wish me good fuck (to remain in the swearing mood)

There's no adjusting the game to people's opinions. It's days from going gold.

Deleted after 10 minutes. Too old for this shit. I’m so not the target audience for this. Everything was menus. Everything was cringe. Everything was Marvel.
Worst than Horizon/10
(And my fans know how much I despise anything Horizon).

Just an heads up, to change style of magic you don't need to press r1+l1 etc, you can just sweep left or right in the touchpad and it change in an instant.
The game of course never tells you this, so you can avoid the menu and have always 4 abilities ready to run (or more if later the game unlock slots or some shit)

I think that's how I felt with it.
Feels like it would work as an MMO, but I'm not into those anymore either.

Exactly this.
And this.
Not the same kind of RPG, but god damn no one shuts up for a second.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

As bad in frequency but Aloy is more innocuous. This one tries to have some humour which is actually ok compared to the sterility of Horizon Zero/Forbidden Humour.

I did change to performance mode and feels better (controls still bad) . But using a 65 inch tv , everything looks blurry upscale… like when I play doom on Nintendo switch lol. Is a pass for me
Btw, what an awful UI!! Never distort text! Should be a rule!

I watched that field boss battle and the combat looked weird. She performs a move and quickly goes back to a neutral state. Not in a normal way. The stuff she was saying felt off. It’s like the actress isn’t feeling it or has no idea how to make her remarks believable.

Just played the demo some more and....where's that game in your images lol? These images make the downgrade ridiculously apparent, jesus.this is what it looked like in 2020.
The quality of this is more Stranger of Paradise than it is in these images you've posted lol

Probably doesn’t help that Forspoken is written by some Hollywood z-listers.

“Yup. Arrrrrhhhh. Yep. Woah did we just. Finish the job!!”
Who wrote the dialogue? A Pornhub creator?

Yep, after getting the hang of the combat system the game is a pure joy to play and EXACTLY what i was expecting from the trailers, it absolutely feels like a more fast paced magic infamous with a sprinkle of...very light dmc maybe? (mostly for the stylish scoring system)
The cons for now are a very shitty graphic even in quality mode (that runs incredibly well if you turn on the 120hz option), very shitty enemy design, and maybe it feels too easy even on hard but you have already like 12 skill and you can upgrade them and these feels like cannon fodder enemies, not serious ones, but i still have to fight the hardest enemies in the demo so maybe there is hope, also the world is really barren.
Traversal feels like neon run from inf3 mixed with parkour from prototype\ac games but faster and maybe a bit less precise, but i need to get the hang of it.
The variety in combat is all there, many skills seems to change if you do them during a run or an evade move or a jump, like from a still position there is this rapid barrage of fire punches that ends with a close range fire explosion, but if you lock on to an enemy and circle around him while magic dodging she does like 2 punches and evade, 2 punches and evade (like a ballet) until the final explosion to adapt the skill to your movements, pretty neat, they clearly put a lot of time on the various skills.
If you put the dialogue to low in the option she barely speak and the bracelet only act like a mimir telling you when to evade or when you are low health, you can also turn it completely off.
I'm only paying like 50 euros for it and it seems like a good price even just for the combat and traversal, i can live with shitty graphic, barren world and probably meh story if the core gameplay is fun.

Honestly I think some have disregard for the player experience outside their own mindset or they thought it was engaging to compliment the action on screen.
Have to keep in mind it is a demo so it may be refined for launch.

Yeah, the game looks NOTHING like that.
It looks like mid tier ps4 game with some nice effects.
