I noticed him in the background and could tell he was acting strange. Bet this is going on his tiktok.

Yeah I saw him make sure he was in the frame at one point. Just thought he was some random person who worked on the game that went up on stage or something. Lol

Thank all of you for your congratulations! I was cut off before I could finish! I wanted to end by thanking my ride or die my beautiful wife @GiaJudge who held it down when everything else was at its most difficult! I love you ????????

downloading the Forspoken demo now. I'm hoping its really good.  I so want to like this game.

let me know what you think.  i don't like playing demos but i really want to know if this is worth playing.  i want it to be good but the marketing for this has been soo bad.

Hmmm

holy crud almost a 10 minute speech. Goodness man.  Like its great to be emotional about it, but dang dragged on a tad much.

uhhh, not sure about forspoken.  First off the default display settings are frickin awful.  Everything is so blown out/washed out from light source.  Graphics are meh.  Gameplay so far not really feeling it.  But was just the tutorial so we'll see as we play more.

That forspoken video was actually the best one yet I felt. Made it seem more interesting.

Also, wow Kojima really knows how to make interesting trailers. I wonder if the game is as interesting

I skimmed the era thread:

generally speaking people's opinion seemed to increase from meh to okay.  no one is raving but it's "good".

combat seems divisive,.  many aren't clicking while others say you have to "get good" first to enjoy it.  I saw lots of people complaining about missing features like target locking where others stepped in to tell them how to do it.  I'll take that to mean the tutorial isn't clear at explaining things. 

lots of complaints about graphics.  my favorite was the guy complaining "performance" mode didn't look as good as "quality" mode...

bantar between cuff and the protag  is too much apparently.  personally I like this sort of thing in games as opposed to silence but seems you can greatly reduce this in the settings.

overall my impression is I'll eventually play this but certainly not day-1.

[nnodley]

Yeah the more I played the more I started to like the combat. They have two magic styles, frey and the cuffs. The cuffs is more up close melee based and feels the best. It does get fairly fun over time. The graphics/display is not great. I just can't get it to not be overblown. All detail is lost. Not my tv cause everything else I play is great.  I like the banter back and forth

[kitler53]

I'd wait for the final release to fully judge the graphics.  as a demo it is probably shipping without everything to keep the file size down. 

I read up close looks much better than vistas which makes sense if that area isn't in the demo b
