Bro I've been playing Hogwarts everyday for like 6 - 8 hours. It's very addicting but trying to get it out the way before psvr2 and GT7.Good to see that its doing well and not at terrible as most of these media outlets trying to make it out to be. Ill get to finishing the game once I complete Hogwarts Legacy.
Critical and Commercial success are 2 different things. You can have titles that sell really well because of Marketing, and Forspoken had aggressive marketing. But that doesn't change the fact the game is doo doo.Good to see that its doing well and not at terrible as most of these media outlets trying to make it out to be.

I understand where you coming from and im not saying there is a vendetta out on the game. I'm just stating there's enough people enjoying the game despite what the media outlets trying to paint it out to be. Doo doo or not is subjective and I respect anyone opinion who think that but also the same should be given to those who enjoy itCritical and Commercial success are 2 different things.

I have a feeling PlayStations funding probably helps there expectationsDoes it meet Squares hefty expectations though?

I'll take Forspoken over Fallout 76 anyday.......Forspoken might lack the challenge of, many games of it's ilk, mainly because of the parkour system that makes fights easier to maneuver, but the combat system and upgrades are impressive, it's also a great looking game, same can't be said about Fallout 76.Critical and Commercial success are 2 different things.

Fallout 76 is also an example of a commercial success but critical failure.
I think it probably did. I don't think Square was looking at Forspoken as the next FF....I mean they probably have very high expectations for FFXVI and that will no doubt break records....I think Forspoken is doing well enough where Square has promised patches for both graphics and some gameplay elements. I think they are pleased with it enough, even if the Meta is mid 60's..Does it meet Squares hefty expectations though?
Bethesda was never known for technical marvels or visually pleasing games. I never played Fallout 76 and will not play it because its not for me. Saying Forspoken is a beautiful game is like saying a girl who weighs 500 lbs is attractive. Have you not paid attention to the bland ugly textures or the character models? I am not sure if you are looking at the same game. Forspoken looks like title that was made for the PS3, but blame the luminous engine, its absolutely horrible and Square are absolute idiots for using it.I'll take Forspoken over Fallout 76 anyday.......Forspoken might lack the challenge of, many games of it's ilk, mainly because of the parkour system that makes fights easier to maneuver, but the combat system and upgrades are impressive, it's also a great looking game, same can't be said about Fallout 76.
Hey, those low rez shots can look bland.....I'm not saying that Forspoken looks better than Horizon Forbidden West, but it has some really nice locales, especially foliage expanses, detailed creatures + main characters.... and of course the effects really are next level....It's NPC's aren't on the level of Horizon, but it's cutscenes are really detailed and flamboyant and it's animation system is mighty impressive/reponsive. It all comes together in motion.Bethesda was never known for technical marvels or visually pleasing games. I never played Fallout 76 and will not play it because its not for me.

Look at all this blandness, emptiness and pure grayness lol.

The animation in FF XV was pretty good and if I am not mistaken it's same team for Forspoken? But, to be fair I never liked how FF XV looked. It was very inconsistent ane the lighting in that game was awful, especially during nighttime. I feel that engine was a waste of resources and time. I am glad Square switched over to UE 4 for KH3 and FF7 Remake.Hey, those low rez shots can look bland.....I'm not saying that Forspoken looks better than Horizon Forbidden West, but it has some really nice locales, especially foliage expanses, detailed creatures + main characters.... and of course the effects really are next level....It's NPC's aren't on the level of Horizon, but it's cutscenes are really detailed and flamboyant and it's animation system is mighty impressive/reponsive.

There’s an ign person that really loves this game. On the podcasts she goes on about it each week.
What about that other game that dropped out of the top 50 on Xbox and number 300 on the sales chart?"did well"
- tanked on steam
- not in top 5 of NPD
- not even #1 PS5 game in Japan, where you'd 100% expect it to be.
For a very heavily budgeted and advertised AAA exclusive IP, it's pretty disappointing all things considered.
