I have to be honest, this game got me. To give context I'm a huge Fire Emblem, FF Tactics, and Valkyria Chronicles fan. This is an RTS and not turn-based, but I found it very manageable and not overwhelming. Extremely fun game.

I think the shortcomings so far are the cutscenes not being the most captivating to watch and some character models look off, especially when animated. However, when the camera is far out, like in the battles, it's not an issue. It's really only noticeable in cutscenes and when you're in the HUB area.

The story is literally fantasy Valkyria Chronicles haha :D

I know this isn’t going to be a perfectly polished game like FE because it didn’t get a high budget first time around so if the models and cutscenes aren’t always great that’s ok.
Combat and story are the biggest interests .
Graphics look pretty good overall .
I will now definitely get this sooner than later as I want to support more games like this and Valkyrie Elysium so we get more and possibly slightly higher budgets next time around .
I hate demos personally because if I want to play it I don’t like replaying the demo part again I like it to be fresh.
From what I’ve read so far it seems like a game I will enjoy although not perfect I am not going In expecting it to be .

See, you should play this demo because your progress is transferred over. Essentially, this is the first chapter or so of the game and you get to pick up where you left off from the save file.

Forspoken being ~15% off 3 days after release is certainly a good sign...

shinoff2183452d ago (Edited 452d ago )

It has a 10 clip off coupon. Relax dude. Done with high on life already. I got horizon zero dawn day 1 for 60 at Walmart near my house. Is that a bad game to

Orchard452d ago

A coupon that only applies to Forspoken. Doesn't work on any other game released this week.

Cool that you're done with HoL, but not sure how that has any impact on Forspoken?

Also, Horizon Zero Dawn's MSRP was $60 at launch... so I'm not sure what your point was there either.

kopp3rbug452d ago

Anything better to write other than the Forspoken sale??? You're literally talking about the same $h17 on another article... move on man...seriously.

Orchard452d ago

Yep well, it's not often we see a game discounted 3 days after launch. But no one is forcing you to read my comments 🤷

FinalFantasyFanatic451d ago (Edited 451d ago )

@Orchard,
That's BS Orchard, and you know it, lots of games get discounted on release day regardless of reviews/sales, this is nothing strange or unusual, nor is it a dire sign, and I don't even think that Forspoken is a good game either. So it probably could use a price drop to push sales considering it's heavily mixed reception.

Amazon, the company who underpriced diapers to run diapers .com out of business, undercutting every other retailer during the launch window of a high profile game.

coolbeans452d ago

For that argument to hold water: Amazon would then be routinely doing this for every high-profile game, which doesn't *appear* to be the case. Your way of thinking about coupons could be right, but it seems to only be utilized for stuff like Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy or Battlefield 2042 at launch.

Orchard452d ago

Dead Space which also launched this week is high profile - it’s sitting at $70 with no coupon.
