@RedRiot193 Fair enough. There hasn't been much discussion on it that I've seen. I don't know if I'm allowed to share links here or not, so I'll just recommend the video by "ElAnalistaDeBits" (just type in "Forspoken downgrade" after the username and it should be the first result).
Funny, because I've played the game and I ain't interested. Forspoken is just terrible. The dialogue and voice acting are woeful, but not even important in the grand scheme of things because the gameplay itself is mediocre at best. It just feels like another empty open world with nothing exciting going on and janky combat. I suppose, when you factor in typical Square Enix writing on top of that, it's a recipe for disaster.
Also, it was noticeably downgraded at launch, which automatically puts it into deceptive AAA territory.
The only thing worse than this "remake" (it's not; it's really just another remaster) is the amount of people defending this "remake". Yes, you are entitled to spend your own money on whichever product happens to catch your eye, but others are just as entitled to judge you for shilling on behalf of corporate greed.
One guy above even said "this is a passion project". What absolute nonsense. This is nothing but a cash cow designed to draw in media victims who are willing to spend £60 on a game that was released literally ten years ago. Yet again, it is their money, but I have a right to be annoyed when these sorts of practices have been ramped up all across the board in recent years. Lootboxes, microtransactions, cosmetic DLC and now full-price graphical upgrades with no changes to gameplay? Hurrah!
This affects all of us, because companies will see people lap this slop up and then produce more. But hey, don't ask questions. Just consume product and then get ready for new products.
