So anyway, back to Forspoken

Just shows that SE have to STOP trying to please western audiences. The FF fans don't want americanized games, we want japanese games. It's as simple as that.

Where it’s at.

Trying to crap out western-style games almost killed the Japanese games industry during the PS3/360 era. Hopefully they have finally learned.

So Quality or RT mode?
Performance mode is out of the question. Too blurry.

John says there is little difference between Quality and RT modes.... so wtf are there 2 modes?! Couldn't they combine it into 1 better mode?! Why do we need 6 modes. two 60 and two 120hz modes would be more than enough.

John says RT mode is his own choice but he also says Quality mode is a bit higher resolution and has better LOD. SO I am not sure

I guess wait for patch(es) so they can hopefully bring the 40hz mode closer to the 40hz target. None of the modes provide an optimal way to play at the moment for their respective targets.

It's square enix. They ain't patching shit lol.
It's ride or die. I've bought the game physically so I can always sell it if it's impossible to ejnoy.
If I had digital version, I would consider refund and getting a pc version but it's probably even a bigger mess.
I will try 120hz quality like in the demo. RT shadows seem to have lesser impact than better lod+res of quality mode.

Let me know what you choose, please. I probably won't be able to play it tomorrow.

Thank you Square Enix. Providing me with a playable demo on PlayStation 5 a month ago allowed me to easily pass on Forspoken which just saved me $70. And people say that Square Enix doesn't care about us Xbox gamers. lol

I remember seeing these a while back, like way before forspoken. I don't remember which game they're from though.

I think from Plagues Tale Innocence. Looks like Bethesda helped them 😂

EDIT: see post below, they are from AC Valhalla

The racism card was used by shills and stooges to damage control the game looking as average as it apparently is. I wouldn’t put much weight on it being a factor.
That’s how it’s done these days, as a shield against any and all criticism.
