Because everyone has already preordered it. You can only buy it once no matter how much you wish that it wasn't the case.
Find 10 people on the game's discussions who own the game
Weak. I set up 1000s of alternative accounts and preordered the game across all PSN regions so it would show up on the top selling list.
just so you know, those tho tried the demo on playstation are now labeled as pre orders. its showing I pre ordered the game on my friends side but never would I ever. Im sure this is a marketing ploy by sony instead of a bug.
This is true. I just checked. Pretty fricking sneaky. Do they do this with all demos?
demos are usually considered separated games
but they are very desperate to boost the numbers of this game
holy shit lmao. Barry on literal suicide watch.
Kek, Barry on suicide watch if this is real.
Well they dropped their western studios and I'm sure this has been in development for awhile. Maybe they'll finally shift focus.
Besides the weird marketing and offputting mc, the game looks really outdated
the environments look pre-witcher 3 level garbage
if blacks vanished from the planet, what sector of society would suffer?
Repairmen
Considering black children mine the lithium inside out batteries, our diamonds, etc etc, I'd say most sectors would receive an intant and insane blow. it would irrepearably frick up the economy of every advanced country in the world and it would take years to set up production back again.
No more vidya, not with such a material shortage as far as tech is concerned.
chinks own all those cobalt mines
china can replace every single miner in less than a month considering the people in china that are desperat to leave that hellhole
and with that they would actually bring infrastructure to africa like england did back in the day
so in the end, it would develop africa, so a good thing
>china can replace every single miner in less than a month
No, one thing is to quickly move industry in your mainland, another thing entirely is to do so in another continent. It would take several months just to have a semblance of reliable production of materials again, in the meantime, everyone's economy would fricking die
China is. They have the biggest fleet of transport ships and are on the ready to sail millions of chinks to any place in the planet.
China's structure for economic domination is insane well developed there is a reason for everything you own has a made in china label.
You are severely underestimating how hard it is to set up an industry out of nothing when all your workers vanished into nothing. China can do it, in a year, not a month. They can build a hospital in a month, in their own backyard.
They cannot replace an entire industry on another continent in a month, or else they would have already done it.
To be fair their hospitals also fall apart in a month.
Chang always cuts corners, those guys have 0 regards for human life, decency, or morality.
Yes they can, first comes the people so the work will not stop. Transporting people and simple sheds is easy. Then in the next months they get all the gear to actually build stuff
You know that those mines have zero structure right? They dig by hand and picks. That need just people.
China don't replace them because killing off the nigs would cause a fricking uproar. But they sure can replace, dominate and make africa a powerhouse if the opportunity appears.
You severely underestimate what a billion of people funded by endless money and the cultural drive to grow economically can do.
>You know that those mines have zero structure right? They dig by hand and picks. That need just people.
Which is why replacing the experienced nigs with guys that don't even know where the frick they are will set back production by months
You have to set up a food supply, you have to replace the workers that transported, shipped, etc the materials.
It's a lot of fricking work.
They can do it, but once again, you are delusional if you think it wouldn't affect the economy.
>experienced nigs
Again, pick and hand. Its not something that actually require experience, specially if you can have a bunch of actual decent IQ chinamen commanding them.
I think you have a delusional perspective on how primitive is the mining of that stuff. Joe Rogan had a journalist who went to every single one of those mines and record everything, look it up. It is the most simplistic, prehistoric, inhumane setting possible.
Legit, less than a month to replace, and a couple more to make it grow. No more than a hiccup in the global economy, far less problematic than the covid thing
>Its not something that actually require experience
You have to at the very least know how to reach the mines without a guide
>every single one of those mines
that's what he thinks, as you said they are primitive, the reason they manage to mantain global production is because of how many there fricking are.
>without a guide
what? bro those things are very well mapped with gps and other advanced means of location. No fricking way they would simply lose a mine of cobalt, one of the most important mineral in the planet.
Each mine has about 50 thousand nigs, a drop in the bucked of china. Something incredible easy to replace with their thousands of ships.
Hell, offer even a tinyplot of land to any chinese who want to work there, legal propriety. The entire country will fly themselves to africa. Chinese really, really want to leave china.
Porn
I think i've clowned enough on Barry for one night. The poor lads gonna be at this for at least 3 more long pathetic hours. Goodnight lads, I know you'll keep the tard entertained.
There's no saving them, the Avengers game made sure of that. They sold all the European assets so their snoy daddy could buy them up once they inevitably failed
It's leaked early. So, real impressions should hit soon.
This video is short, but it looks graphically very unimpressive.
>Game has already leaked yet there's NO discussion
Damn. I remember DMC5 threads being far more energetic when it got leaked.
truly amazing
When will Squeenix off themselves already?
>Forspoken is being released in a week and getting mogged by every game imaginable on steam.
Except Wild Hearts. That shit is like non-existent on Steam
Only reason I knew about that game was because I was trying to shit post about increasing GPU demands and shilling buying 4000 series. Literally no idea what it was and I still don’t but I used the specs to shitpost so I might buy it if it seems alright
You can get a 10 hours trial with a 4$ sub of EA Origin. I'd try that
Here ya go. Judge for yourself.
wtf is up with that skybox?
Yeah, I can't get over how rough it looks. It's a PS5-only title and the PC specs are really demanding, yet it doesn't look much better than a PS4 game. The Luminous Engine must really be a piece of shit.
XVI has a branch of the same engine and looks better. Still doesn't look next gen, but I think a lot of Forspoken's visual problems are use of bad assets and bad art direction.
Seems to run like shit.
>generic beat with strings + female vocals going "uuuuuuuhhhhhh"
This game really fricking is "let's look at western marketing trends and just do that".
It really does look like Horizon clone, but it makes me wonder why would they copy a game no one cares about.
If this was a drinking game, I think I'd be wasted by the 30 minute mark with the BS that will probably trigger Ganker watching this.
>walks out of Criminal Court building
>Quest start: Just Another Day
>female black protagonist
>game starts in a court room
I can't even.
Welp, there goes the last remaining support from the inclusivity crowd this game had.
It's really clear where the story is going from like the first 30 minutes, too. Either her parents got warped to Athia or, more likely, she's from Athia herself and got warped to Earth as a newborn.
Also, the writing is terrible. The interactions with the Judge beggar belief, and the fact she doesn't pick up the bag before she goes to look for the sodding cat just make her look like a fricking moron.
>game starts
>opens with her being a repeat-felon
weeeeew lad SE and the western writers are so fricking tone deaf
The running animation seems really floaty, like shes not actually grounded into the world.
Also she runs like that spastic L guy in the death note netflix show.
The lighting is even worse than in the demo. Where are the shadows?
It looks pretty good, like it's not bad looking. Pretty interesting that the start has a real world setting then shifts to that fantasy world. Most devs would be afraid of making assets that'll rarely ever get used out of a small section of the game.
>that intimidation scene
>the dialogue
>those facial expressions
It's so bad that it might actually become unintenional comedy kino.
That's pre-rendered, too, kek.
So this is the power of 32GB RAM requirement
What's he thinking about, Ganker?
"I'm not getting locked up again." Hahahahahahahahahahaha
some of the ost is pretty good, the game looked and sounded decent at 42:30-43:20
My only issue with the ost is you'll be hearing certain tracks a LOT. The overworld in the demo just had the same 1 track playing on loop when you weren't in battle.
There needs to be quiet time for the music to breathe. Imagine if BotW had piano tracks playing at all times and how annoying that would get
>Selects focus on story

Enjoy your "game"

Our girl is back.
I wouldn't bet money on it, given the promotion that it's received, but I still wouldn't be surprised if Forspoken didn't break a million. Things that break a million tend to be in the top ten in the week before release and be in the top three a few days before.
Imagine if they had given that budget to Star Ocean.
>this writing
>this voice acting
holy crap it is so bad
OH NO NO NO NO
720p
ON THE PLAYSTATION 5
For what? did this game even advertise? is it AAA?
>a 3070 is what is "recommended"
This game is gonna run like absolute shit, isn't it?
I predict it's not gonna run at all at launch
>Square-Enix is gonna have YET ANOTHER FLOP on their resume
Bankruptcy when?
Never ever. They were already pre-paid by Sony and as per usual they'll get another get out of jail free card like FFXIV's reboot down the line.
>Bankruptcy when?
Every time Ganker say square enix is going backrup the universe generate 1 billions $ for square enix to survive.
>wake up with building on fire
>lifesavings right next to you at your feet
>game will not let you pick it up, most save cat first
>save cat, money burns
>gang didn't steal her money while setting the building on fire
oh my lmao, everything is so stupid
>Thinking money > life
>Thinking the gang is stupid for not stealing money in a burning building
I think you might be stupid anon
Frick off, Barry. Can you not shit up one thread with your nonsense, just for once?
>stupid for not stealing money in a burning building
you moron lmao, they set the building on fire and had enough time before hand to spray paint a sign in her room letting her know they were there.
You're implying they saw the bag. For all we know, they snuck in while it was dark to do the spray paint or they spray painted after already setting the building on fire.
>they snuck in while it was dark to do the spray paint
she fell asleep with her lights on in her room lmao
You're implying they went into her room. Why would they burn the building if they can just stab her while she's sleeping? Anytime a book, movie, game, whatever doesn't show you something you have to think logically about why X didn't happen. Not everyone wants to be spoonfed about every little detail.
>Why would they burn the building if they can just stab her while she's sleeping?
because this game is written by western writers who literally failed out of hollywood.
>doesn't show you something you have to think logically about why X didn't happen
So instead of going into her room, killing her right then and there, noticing the money she had laying next to her feet and taking it.
They instead set her building on fire, spray painted a message saying who was behind it. Put up a big mattress to cover the message and then escaped. While leaving the possibility that the person they're trying to kill isn't actually dead.
Sounds logical to me lmao.
To be fair, people do stupid/illogical shit all the time in real life. Not hard to believe what happened in game, given the people who burned the building are just a bunch of thugs in NYC.
>so what if the writing is stupid, it's just like real life where people are stupid!
yeah, I can see how you can relate lmao.
If you wrote a story there will be a section where a homeless guy with no education or skills successfully breaks into a military base, deciphers codes, gains access to a prototype jet and pilots it perfectly to escape the country.
I don't know what the game is a bout, but unless it's an RPG then there is no obligation to let you choose the money, if the protagonist's character is to value her cat more than that's what she will go for 100% of the time.
If it's an RPG however, lmao.
MAH RATINS!
>How do we save SE from bankruptcy?
Why? Square Enix CEO and most of their "creative minds" should be out in the streets giving blowjobs for food.
I don't know what everyone is talking about with the writing being bad. It's actually pretty kino, like compare this game to any game in 2022 and the writing in this game actually does blow the others out of the water imo.
No, it's just as insufferable Mavel-tier garbage, and also has the same "Let's keep talking during combat to hand-hold the player."
I will admit I'm a bit partial to Cuff's condescending British wit, but everything else is trash.
Ehh I hate Marvel shit and spot it a mile away, but Forspoken for some reason feels different. Besides even if the writing isn't great, it's still better than anything we got in 2022 so that's a start.
Why the frick is it 80 yuros?
Been living under a rock? That's the new full price for all next gen games. Welcome to inflation.
Wtf.... this shit doesn't seem real, no way new AAA games will be 70 bucks. I kinda get it cause game development is much harder now.
AAA full price new vidya has been stuck at 59.99$/69.99€ since 2005 while literally everything else has gotten more expensive.
70$ in 2012 would be around 100$ now so even with the price hike of this new gen games are still cheaper than they used to be.
I wonder how well the games sell since they are 70 bucks. I'd guess they don't sell very well as a lot of gamers are probably against the price increase.
They were against it in 2005 as well. People still buy games 18 years later, and a lot more than back then.
Frick me 2005 was 18 years ago.
What do you mean 2005? Were new AAA games cheaper before 2005?
Used to be $50 before 7th gen.
Interesting, $70 is gonna be the norm now. Weird, I mostly get indie games anyway, but there are a few AAA games every now and then I look forward to, I'd probably not get them day 1 then.
2005's PS3 and X360 gen hiked prices from 49.99$ to 59.99$.
You're ignoring lots of other factors though. The market is much bigger today and sales are higher. Most games have additional monetization models that overall makes more money than the upfront sales. Games have also become cheaper to make due to the rise of game engines lite Unreal and Unity. Most of the budget of AAA games these days is spent on marketing rather than development. To summarize, video games are more profitable than ever despite the $60 staying the standard for a long time. AAA publishers don't need to raise prices to make due, it's straight up pure greed.
Perhaps, but prices also go down a lot faster than they did in the 2000's, even the online stores have frequent sales.
Are they using like a dozen different headscupts for Frey? She looks different in every scene.
I thought it was PS5 exclusive, is it just a timed exclusive? Or does it actually release on PC in a week?
Still not interested in the game. Just seems like bad marketing.
>Cyberpunk 2077 top 2
>3 years later
LMAOing at anyone who was stupid enough to larp as a shazamposter.
PC always has pretty decent taste as a whole
>4 first games had troony community seething over some kind of offensive content
Absolutely based
Nobody has a pc capable of playing it well
We don’t frick SE
LMAO
>judge is a black woman
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
OHOHOHOHOOHHOOHO
fricking ESG money printing machines bro
She's literally a dindu nuffin'
I'm just tired of open world games and then it has crafting. I was watching some gameplay out of curiosity, the b***h can hookshot to some stones in walls to jump over designated_climbing_areas, I'm like eh whatever I can do without this. I hear this game demands an absolutely monster PC but it doesn't look that crazy good looking, perhaps it's the magical spell particle effects or some shit, the 3D models for example aren't that impressive
>Things that never happened
I am a lawyer
Of everything this game shows. This is the most improbable of being real.
>did I just do that
>I just did that
>I just moved shit
>WITH MY FREAKING MIND
I thought it was just the marketing but the whole game is actually like this Jesus Christ.
Holy downgrade batman
I have that same shirt. Bought it at BJ's
wonder what Mr.Bazztek is doing right now
These are his sleeping hours, he'll be back in about an hour and a half.
>How do we save SE from bankruptcy?
Wait until June 22nd when YoshiP has to save the company, AGAIN
>save the company, AGAIN
There wasn't a first time, since gacha saved SE from XIV 1.0
Nintendo buys the moribund studio finally completing their revenge from their dispute years ago.
his smile and optimism, gone.
yoshi sama... surely we will be getting some new footage soon.....
35th anniversary presentation Feb 7th.
>sales dont matter
>sales do matter
Well, which is it then?
You guys are so pathetic with your Negative Nancy attitudes wanting every game to be another TORtanic, which ironically, is massively successful now. Truth it, Forspoken will be the most sold Square Enix game to date, it'll be a success, both critically and commercially. There will be hundreds of falseflag and bait threads in the coming months, making fun of all you people who wanted it to fail. You deserve it.
>Forspoken will be the most sold Square Enix game to date, it'll be a success, both critically and commercially
Just like Avengers
