OP from twitter here
He just
Gave it to me
I walked in at like ten minutes before the shop closed he said >Hey you want this? >No one picked up their pre-order. Just...just sell it on eBay
not that anon, but assuming its about One Piece Odyssey, it's a nice game!, but its very flawed and relatively easy, has 4 arcs (Alabasta, Water7/Enies Lobby, Marineford war and Dressrosa) but they're VERY short and are not really that faithful, in game universe explanation is that "you know how memories are, very fuzzy and difficult to remember 1 for 1, but somehow this did not apply with Alabasta
>I really want to know how disassociated from reality this guy is if he's for real.
He just declared in his New Year's 2023 address that he intends to have Square Enix double down on NFTs and blockchain chain. Despite NFTs having become as toxic as a urinal cake in Chernobyl for many months now, and him already getting lots of shit for expressing excitement for NFT adoption in last year's New Year's address. Guy's off his fricking rocker.
>shouldn't try to imitate Western developers >creates a game that feels even more Western than the West could create >to the point where many believed it was actually made by a Western dev
>Achieving major growth in the game industry is difficult now
for companies that compete primarily in the Japanese market,
given its graying demographics. As such, it is critical for our
business that we produce hit titles that speak to the global
market, which offers greater scale in terms of both customers and sales volumes. >For our Group to better focus on developing titles for the
global market in this changing environment, we need to
concentrate our limited resources on the development of strong and robust titles. >Nearly dedicating 2 pages to blockchain shit
I didn't see much actually on Forspoken, but the guy has a few screws loose if he thought this might actually become the company's next big thing instead of The Bouncer 2.0
Because they're greedy and entitled to all of the money
At least I haven't betrayed my values for vast sum of money unlike grifters benefiting from worthless culture wars.
Culture. You work with a company for decades and you are expected to move up. Once you are there your word becomes law. No one argues with you and you can do no wrong. Only the absolute most fricked up shit will get you booted from the position if you are at the top.
Seems likely to me that whatever elements were pet project are long gone from some manner of liberal interference
on the other hand this is the same moron that's tripling down on NFT shit
Isekai is very popular but this was a dumb take on it and it is not like it could not work it is just too pozzed.
An actual hood Black in a medieval setting with a magic gat that doesn't run out of bullets just dabbing on Dark Souls type enemies would be incredible if done correctly.

>An actual hood Black in a medieval setting with a magic gat that doesn't run out of bullets just dabbing on Dark Souls type enemies would be incredible if done correctly.
It's been done. (Sorta)
I picture a darker setting (no pun intended) similar to army of darkness so the main character learns humility, virtue and becomes the shining hero the people had been hoping for so you feel like at the end of his journey he became better for it.
His nemesis needs to be this Bloods gang type fricker who is just an evil piece of shit but needs to be hyped up as a dark lord (no pun intended) and every town under his control has this gothic, diablo like feel to it with people in torture yokes, chained up and nearly starved so when you free a settlement and return to it you can see all the good you have done. Picture the towns in Fable but with basketball courts.
He teaches orphans to play B-Ball so they are not just miserable all the times so it is not just gratuitous.
Some noble then invents B-ball Jousting.
Sorry I had a stroke. it was written 3 years ago or so around title reveal for project Athia (Forspoken). So he likely had a brighter future in mind for the title back in like early 2020 but reality struck. I personally got skeptical when that 5 months delay happened last year. That was the right when the so let me get this straight shit dropped.
I'm sure COVID must have impacted development a lot, but I wonder what exactly was the point where he lost hope. And even then it doesn't explain the gigantic graphical downgrade.
In a way Forspoken on a conceptual level had a lot going for it, for better or worse it is their first American-made big release and it uses their own tech because that's what "big" projects from "big" studios do, it really wouldn't hurt as much if it didn't mean that just because they were trying (and failing) to go all out on this trainwreck it meant that other projects didn't had the marketing expenses, other games could have used the pretense that square was doing something BIG and even if they were lacking maybe all they needed was that small push that this game ate up.
SquareEnix doesn't get to this day that people just want them to be consistently good, not le blockbuster kino gaming studio and they got everything to be that way including the marketing money that would be better used if "are we EA yet" projects like these didn't exist.
They would have had excess stock for preorders later than product shipping to warehouses, they just overshot it completely, geres hoping digital sales dont prop it up and its a major flop, companies need t stop listening to the twitter crowd.

You think every major company cares about the message. Same shit. Different side of the coin. Honestly you guys are far more cancer at this point simply because you have more power.
At least I'm not under the illusion that the rich elites tell me what to think. Be it God or man. I don't care. I'll make my decisions by my code of honour. And will excommunicate those that mean harm. We are two sides of the coin, and frankly I don't enjoy being a useful tool for those who interests is endless culture wars. Until they decide that feudalism is the best alternative.
You say that shit when the first post in the chain of replies is a guy calling someone racist for laughing about a Japanese games sales. You're just an butthole that believes he's in the right and that will contextualize everything for you as you confederate others positions for them so you can have enough of a big bad. There just is no world for you. Everyone is networked with a spiders web of consciousness and convictions as you move ever onward into a world where you don't even know the convictions of those we're to inherit the responsibility of. You've overphenominalized the ideas in people's heads. I'd never want such a haunted perspective where you can't see what a man will shape with his hands out of clay.

Are you fricking moronic? It doesn't say they're giving out preorders, it said they gave them the free preorder bonus which was just a set of 3 cards with cg renders on them and nothing else
Like how the frick do you look at that tweet and take away "hurrr they giva da game away for free?!"
Are you actually clinically moronic?
I'm actually curious what the frick they consider worthy to be printed on the character cards. Like at least does the Debra Wilson character have lighting coming out of her bugged out eyes?

The final boss is some weird gold filigree thing she accuses of gaslighting her. So I assume it's the final boss.
The opening scene that people posted here also showed her saying how she moved something with her mind and had Cuff constantly correcting her that "we" moved it. I'm guessing that she's just the stronkest and he was holding her back the whole time.

That's such a shit name for equipment that is the source of your powers.
I'm irrationally angry at just how fricking lazy it is.
It's literally just naming it what it is. It sits where the end of the sleeve is, the cuff, so they call it Cuff.
Not surprised that this is a Jap game, since their language is so fricking literal that the entirety of their naming convention is to push two moon rune words together that generalize the concept of what the object is and then that becomes its name.
But that doesn't mean the localizers need to follow suit. Use the breadth and depth of the English language and think of fricking ANYTHING else.
Name the wienersucker "Bangles of Destiny". Frick, call him Dave. Anything!
That's like if they called Soul Edge "Bad Sword" in Soul Caliber.
You could have put in a fricking iota of effort and even used the Spanish or French word for cuff.
It would still be a shit game, but at least mindless morons will gobble up that pedestrian attempt of using your brain for anything besides an ironing board.

Nobody watches legacy media except for you leftist morons. Now show me your wiener please.
I think in terms of only 3 cards I am actually more bothered by fire emblem engage, they're meant to be tarrot cards but they don't give you a full deck, at least the art is a lot nicer than these though
If you are planning on buying this game at all its dumb to not wait a month when it drops in price by $20-30. Same goes with any game that looks like its flopping. Callisto Protocol is $50 on Amazon now and way cheaper on ebay.
What the frick is happening? Someone is genuinely and unironically posting their own Twitter screencap instead of just posting it directly on Ganker. How did it ever get this bad?
Any IP that tries to be a franchise from the get go without even proving itself first has always flopped and been forgotten. You can trick morons to buy your product with a runaway bloated marketing budget, but that won't work for sequels or long term sales.
>Pre-order Forspoken because you want to support a game featuring a strong, black, female protagonist >Don't actually play video games, so don't pick up the pre-order
Color me surprised
>people buy games with woman leads
i can think of a handful that arent trash, and even then they're mediocre.
Woman have no place being the protag, as woman are weak and annoying
More weight lifting twink destroying gigachad protags.
this happened to me with CTR I got a crash figurine
probably one of the last physical games I ever bought especially from GameStop
honestly not even sure why I got it from GameStop instead of Amazon
The PS5 barely had any exclusives in its first 3 or so years, even compared to PS4. They probably thought it'd at least be a new FF15 in terms of sales.
Exclusives haven't been console moves since PS1/N64 era. Shit that sells consoles now, and has sold them for several generations now, is NFL, NBA, NHL, and FIFA. The only console that sells on exclusive is Nintendo, and that's purely because they rarely even bother with hardware any more, they just release more Zelda, Metroid, and Mario. You schizos really need to ride off that console exclusive mindbreak.
This game has the worst fricking marketing I’ve ever seen. If you’re trying to shill your woke agenda bullshit game with high end graphics and novel gameplay, why not at least hide it better? The fricking girl rock song they use in the commercials just screams “This game is not for men, but if men buy it they better be ready to get preached at.” Not exactly making me want to rush out and part with $70 all for the pleasure of hearing some digital sheboon tell me about my toxic masculinity and White privilege.
>the song
How about you upgrade her fricking nails in the game? >high end graphics
I am emulating BOTW in preparation for BOTW2.
The flowers look better in Forspoken, that's it. Everything else looks way more visually appealing in Zelda. Even the goddamned water.
why would anyone want character cards?

You're on discord or some
Shit
He said he's from twitter, please be patient
you don't type like that on twitter either
not him but punctuation is overated
i sometimes leave gaps instead of commas or whatever since i cant be assed
No one on eBay is going to want that. Not even for free because it would cost $4 to ship it.
>op from Twitter
I know you’re larping but go back and stay back
It's me fricker
how's the one piece game?
I actually didn't get the game
He just gave me the steelbook
I actually want the game now
so you got the steelbook for one game that you don't own, and a character card pack for another game you don't have. what did you get at gamestop?
Aids
Nothing
I walked in looking.for indivisible and he just handed me this
Based. I'd give you my physical copy if I could.
I'll trade you an Atari Jaguar game for it or some cartridges
not that anon, but assuming its about One Piece Odyssey, it's a nice game!, but its very flawed and relatively easy, has 4 arcs (Alabasta, Water7/Enies Lobby, Marineford war and Dressrosa) but they're VERY short and are not really that faithful, in game universe explanation is that "you know how memories are, very fuzzy and difficult to remember 1 for 1, but somehow this did not apply with Alabasta

Whose pre ordering forspoken?
(You) did.
And I thought MY handwriting was bad...

I took the handwriting and cursive classes when I was in school. My handwriting was shit then too though.

100%. Its genuinely incredible that this keeps happening at SE though, that company would've died if it werent for FF14.
Japanese games were popular because they had their own flavor compared to western games if you just copy leftie whitey you're flopping
Why are Japanese game CEO's and bigwigs so delusional and old..
Because they're greedy and entitled to all of the money
At least I haven't betrayed my values for vast sum of money unlike grifters benefiting from worthless culture wars.

Did they overestimate isekai's popularity in the Western market? Do they not realize how garbage and overdone of a genre we think it is?
Vocal minority. Isekai is really fricking popular in the west too. Forspoken is just too westernized.
Isekai is very popular but this was a dumb take on it and it is not like it could not work it is just too pozzed.

Now that's a game I can get behind.
Isekai is popular, and has appeal. Part of that appeal is a level of self insertion. But gamers are not black women.
This
I don’t think Japan understands that the “diverse” culture in our media is not actually representative of what the population likes
This game actually turned out to be light isekai upon finishing it.
If they made a game that was like those isekai animes then it would probably be a hit, even if it was trash.
Woah the old japs in charge of are out of touch and moronrd woahhhhhhhhhh
They really are out of touch, huh. These people should kiss YoshiP's feet. He's the only reason they're still in business.
You'd think they'd...foresee it's failure.
>pet project get Black personfied by SNOY
I would be depressed too
How can you look at this game and think that with a straight face? the frick is going on in that company
If I'm not mistaken this quote is like 3 article is like 3 years old it was like the project Athia to Forspoken title reveal when this was written.
What
Sorry I had a stroke. it was written 3 years ago or so around title reveal for project Athia (Forspoken).

all decisions he makes lead to a dumpster fire
they're gonna blame racism for making a dogshit game
They should have pulled that card like a week ago. I guess they didn't have a loud-mouth poc spoke person/butthole
the demo made that move impossible, its simply a shit game.
lol yep, they can thank Sony demanding a demo before release for taking this cheap exploitable card out of the deck for them.
Based Sony. They should keep demanding demos. They are absolutely needed these days.
they already are
there are articles popping in
The black guy at GameStop said the game sucked shit and that's why no one picked it up
Good
better that way so they understand once and for all not put ugly fricking Black folk in video games
I'm racist but I hate the game because it looks like shit.
give me the One Piece costumes, i actually bought that game
I've had this happen with other games before

wouldt that imply that it was bought by bots?
I don't even have a Gamestop within the proximity of 25km anymore. All of them closed down
I have just one
I fricking hate it
Triggered /misc/cels aside, this game is actually pretty fun.
I pre-ordered it digitally like a normal person though.
is the gameplay as good as it looks?
i dont give a frick about all the other superficial shit that most of these monkeys focus on

I feel like you should save these just as some sort of insane souvenir.
>Cuff spotted
>I kneel
That's is a pre-order bonus? Talk about cheaping out, I remember Silent Hill Shattered Memories on Wii at least came with a soundtrack.
cum on the cards
I would but my wife is here
have her jerk you off onto the cards
do it anyway
Look at the jaw on that b***h
Yup
Before the dark times...
It's even worse
The stands are not tight enough to hold the cards so the cards constantly fall
Who the frick is cuff
I'm guessing it's the big bad guy or the one that turns into the big bad guy
You sure
The final boss is some weird gold filigree thing she accuses of gaslighting her. So I assume it's the final boss.
The opening scene that people posted here also showed her saying how she moved something with her mind and had Cuff constantly correcting her that "we" moved it. I'm guessing that she's just the stronkest and he was holding her back the whole time.
Sounds obvious he's an accessory she wears to give herself powers. Would be really stupid if they somehow make him the final boss.
lol did the store just give you a bunch of promo display trash they didn't want to use?
Yes actually
The store employee told me that no one picked up their pre order today and just handed it to me
And gave me a free steel case for one piece
He just said to sell it on eBay
That's such a shit name for equipment that is the source of your powers.
I'm irrationally angry at just how fricking lazy it is.
It's literally just naming it what it is. It sits where the end of the sleeve is, the cuff, so they call it Cuff.
Not surprised that this is a Jap game, since their language is so fricking literal that the entirety of their naming convention is to push two moon rune words together that generalize the concept of what the object is and then that becomes its name.
But that doesn't mean the localizers need to follow suit. Use the breadth and depth of the English language and think of fricking ANYTHING else.
Name the wienersucker "Bangles of Destiny". Frick, call him Dave. Anything!
That's like if they called Soul Edge "Bad Sword" in Soul Caliber.
You could have put in a fricking iota of effort and even used the Spanish or French word for cuff.
It would still be a shit game, but at least mindless morons will gobble up that pedestrian attempt of using your brain for anything besides an ironing board.
FRICK
Frick japs
The thing that lets homierette move things... with her fricking mind!
>Actually, I helped so
SHE MOVED SHIT... WITH HER MIND!
>You keep using "She," it's actually both of u--
SHE MOVED SHIT WITH HER FRICKING MIND! HAHA!
That's awful
>homierette
That's kinda cute the way you say that... Then again, I do have jungle fever. A hankering for chocolate.
>protag is a black girl
>gets arrested, involved in gun crime, obsessed with shoes
>gets powers from CUFFS
what did square enix mean by this?
It's how Japanese people see
das racist
I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed
You have to pay me to keep these in my house
>the beloved character cuff
How could they give cuff such a bad portrait 🙁
Ahh these fricking pieces of shit won't stay up
Huh, shit. Well played, anon.
I'd keep it as a souvenir. You want to keep some memory of just how bad gaming got.
Or until someone turns this thing around.
Yo this dude bought a Stadia
Yeah I did
Frick man. Google literally gave me one for having YouTube premium and I still regret it. You didn’t buy that 150 version did you?
>WiiU
>Playstation Mini
>Stadia
>Forspoken
my man needs to cut up his credit cards
Actually I'm a collector of failed consoles
It's my hobby
If you notice there's doom for Atari Jaguar
thats based, list what you've got
I have
>Wii u
>Playstation mini
>Some Atari Jaguar games and controllers
>A Dreamcast
>Two GameCubes
>A few Saturn games
>An Atari VCS
I love collecting bad stuff
The Wii U was incredible. As was the Vita.
listen OP. I believe you and i would like to see your dick next. please show me your dick.
Nobody watches legacy media except for you leftist morons. Now show me your wiener please.
I'll show it but then be banned
>one tweet says thing so it must be true
It is because it was me
The tweet doesn't even say what the OP subject is claiming either so OP is literally fricking moronic and lied
>this and the cookie love threads
Ganker has been extra based this week
Imagine ten years ago a Square Enix game not even having a special edition with a statue or wearable Cuff or anything. Insane.
I'd be more hung up on the Black person, personally.
The fact you only get three cards bothers me
And the fact is just
Mc
Random item
And random boss
Sucks
I think in terms of only 3 cards I am actually more bothered by fire emblem engage, they're meant to be tarrot cards but they don't give you a full deck, at least the art is a lot nicer than these though
Persona Q and P4U's Tarot cards weren't that good. They are the major arcana, but the quality is kind of bad.
Jesus christ
>6 active threads right now just to "talk" about a game they claim to hate
imagine being the moron that actually buys forspoken or even pirate it because of these threads
I never heard of it I'm just sharing my story
yes, that's exactly how Ganker has been for like almost 20 years now.
>grug only talk game he like but no play
>no one allowed talk game game they dislike
If you are planning on buying this game at all its dumb to not wait a month when it drops in price by $20-30. Same goes with any game that looks like its flopping. Callisto Protocol is $50 on Amazon now and way cheaper on ebay.
gamestop is legally required to hold pre-orders and pre-order bonuses for 2 days after release. at least do research with your baitposts.
What the frick is happening? Someone is genuinely and unironically posting their own Twitter screencap instead of just posting it directly on Ganker. How did it ever get this bad?
We're sharing in the pain anon
Any IP that tries to be a franchise from the get go without even proving itself first has always flopped and been forgotten. You can trick morons to buy your product with a runaway bloated marketing budget, but that won't work for sequels or long term sales.
>Pre-order Forspoken because you want to support a game featuring a strong, black, female protagonist
>Don't actually play video games, so don't pick up the pre-order
Color me surprised
Or maybe they came to pick it up after that moron in the tweet
Wrong
Store was closing
Yeah I don't know why so many pre orders weren't picked up
GameStop had at least 50 of these in their cabinets
>I just cost SE a billion dollars!
>with my nine! Haha!
>people buy games with woman leads
i can think of a handful that arent trash, and even then they're mediocre.
Woman have no place being the protag, as woman are weak and annoying
More weight lifting twink destroying gigachad protags.
Metroid prime?
Medicore and thats because they made the wise decision in all metroid games to make samus shut the frick up, and cover up.
Bro wtf is that thumb?
>sold my GME finally after beaten housewife syndrome gripped me hard
>900 left to re-invest and make back my original money
Never again will I fall for meme shit, hope every moron on Ganker still shilling that trash loses everything.
redditors are the ones shilling that. I sometimes browse the smg thread so I know that hodlers of gme is despised there
this happened to me with CTR I got a crash figurine
probably one of the last physical games I ever bought especially from GameStop
honestly not even sure why I got it from GameStop instead of Amazon
That's nice
looks like a cigarrete pack
>sony paid 2 year exclusivity for this shit
what were they thinking?
Jim Ryan is dumb
Square Enix is enjoying the almost free money
The PS5 barely had any exclusives in its first 3 or so years, even compared to PS4. They probably thought it'd at least be a new FF15 in terms of sales.
Exclusives haven't been console moves since PS1/N64 era. Shit that sells consoles now, and has sold them for several generations now, is NFL, NBA, NHL, and FIFA. The only console that sells on exclusive is Nintendo, and that's purely because they rarely even bother with hardware any more, they just release more Zelda, Metroid, and Mario. You schizos really need to ride off that console exclusive mindbreak.
>s in its first 3 or so years
>3 or so years
>Console only 2 years old
This homie from the future.
>no dicky no money
Many such cases
Indeed
Well im off to bed
>GameStop
the stock trading company? i thought they were just one of those online things lmao
This game has the worst fricking marketing I’ve ever seen. If you’re trying to shill your woke agenda bullshit game with high end graphics and novel gameplay, why not at least hide it better? The fricking girl rock song they use in the commercials just screams “This game is not for men, but if men buy it they better be ready to get preached at.” Not exactly making me want to rush out and part with $70 all for the pleasure of hearing some digital sheboon tell me about my toxic masculinity and White privilege.
>the song
How about you upgrade her fricking nails in the game?
>high end graphics
I am emulating BOTW in preparation for BOTW2.
The flowers look better in Forspoken, that's it. Everything else looks way more visually appealing in Zelda. Even the goddamned water.
this is why you never let moronic execs ever have control of games, all they do is get feedback from trannies and ruin it.
its pretty clear the game was always meant to be a fantasy world not linked back to modern day america.
