Do teen girls who watch disney tv shows play many video games? That seems to be the target audience.
Is this in the actual game or just cringy marketing?
Expected from Gaf really, you see the same reactions when music is used that isn't rock/metal.Also, so many of you have a problem calling cringe every character that is not plain badass. Games have a place for normal imperfect characters too. Deal with it.
Eh, that's just a "screenplay" tool to communicate the character's thoughts.No human being talks to itself every freaking minute
That's modern games for you.Developers should add options where characters simply shut the fuck up.
It's so annoying. I don't want to hear Aloy talk about obvious shit over and over again. I don't want to hear Xenoblade characters garbage after every single battle, and I don't want to hear forspokens character talking to herself nonstop. Shits annoying and cringe.
Where do you get that "depth" idea from?The difference is, that in this game, tbe isekaied character will have some depth, unlike most anime mcs.
She may banter too much or whatever, but im sure writers made their best effort to depict what is a normal human being reappearing in a fantasy world. Which is cool by me.
There should be more normal imperfect characters in games.Also, so many of you have a problem calling cringe every character that is not plain badass. Games have a place for normal imperfect characters too. Deal with it.
The Spider isekai is some next level awesomeness.....if any medium sized developers are reading this.....make that shit!
Come on man.
Shes only had two major roles.
And only two of those projects sucked.
Ohhh........
Bad damn can she get it, almost 6 foot tall, thighs for days?
Mate!
The dialogue is likely stitched together out of context, Square Enix does that all the time in their trailers.That’s what I’m starting to wonder.
Marketing clip aside, the game itself looks like it may be good. Hopefully she’s not like that clip in the actual game.
Uh...yeah, so I guess I'm, like, shooting magic at a freaking dragon right now? Or something? Weird, right....?I can't stand a sassy quippy "yup, you're probably wondering how I got here" protagonist.
Also feels like a complete mismatch in tone with the rest of the game.
You think a "normal human being" would be sassy like that if they woke up in a fantasy world with big dragons trying to kill them?but im sure writers made their best effort to depict what is a normal human being reappearing in a fantasy world. Which is cool by me.
Feels like a Netflix take on a Japanese IP.This is the results of Japanese developers trying to make a Westernized game
The world and gameplay itself looks interesting by all means, but I really can't stand the character's voice acting and her sassy movie dialogues. It's like the game was written for an 8-year old
Just awful
That doesn't make sense though.This is the results of Japanese developers trying to make a Westernized game

If a real human being saw a dragon they'd scream and shit themselves. They wouldn't just mumble some lame one liner to themselves.The difference is, that in this game, tbe isekaied character will have some depth, unlike most anime mcs.

More like a 50+ year old soccer mom trying to write a young female character by taking cues from her 12 year old daughter, by spying her when she talks on the phone.This is the results of Japanese developers trying to make a Westernized game
I have no problem with imperfect characters, but I do have an issue with annoying characters.The difference is, that in this game, tbe isekaied character will have some depth, unlike most anime mcs.

yup, you're probably wondering how I got here"
I hate it when people talk like that."So let me get this straight"
Would you really scream and shit yourself?If a real human being saw a dragon they'd scream and shit themselves. They wouldn't just mumble some lame one liner to themselves.
And waking up with awesome abilities; how could you not be filled with joy/wonder/amazement, unless you're some kind of cynic/depressed fuck.Seeing a dragon would be amazing.
What is it with these unlikeable female characters?
Female activist writers tend to write themselves into their characters.What is it with these unlikeable female characters? I first noticed it when I played Spider-Man Miles Morales which overall I enjoyed. The ‘Taskmaster‘ was just the worst though - barely any redeemable qualities and treated Miles like trash throughout. Even in flashback scenes. I then noticed the same thing when I watched the Invincible series. His girlfriend who I initially liked then started this same nonsense. We later found out she was aware of his superhero identity the entire time and was just being a bitch for no reason??? He saved his best friend and nearly died and she still found a way to turn it into something about her. Recently with the RE series I noticed the same thing as the main characters were completely full of themselves and treated everyone else like crap. Now I’m getting the same vibes from Forspoken with this poorly written and poorly voice acted protagonist. It genuinely feels like a waste of the setting, cool looking combat and traversal system to squander on such a full of themselves, unlikeable cringey character.
That's the mindset of all TV and all movies for the last 10 years.They're trying to sell their games to a wider demographic.
At some point, someone decided that male gamers were a given, in-built audience, and games like this don't need to directly appeal to them anymore. They're going to buy the game anyway.
But there's a big audience of female gamers out there, whose money they are desperate to also get hold of. So we get characters like this, who are supposed to appeal to female gamers.
I can't help but think most women would look at this patronising, cringeworthy shit and come to the same conclusion as us blokes:
Don't buy this garbage.
Thats... actually not a bad ideaGo with Japanese dub, subtitles: off and enjoy.
That's the mindset of all TV and all movies for the last 10 years.
Now all men do is play games. Thank god that gaming is a lot more international and we get stuff from around the world.
Yeah this may be another Xenoblade 2 situation where the English voice-acting is absolutely diabolic and the Japanese voice-acting is totally fine/normal. The problem is, if any of those bullshit Japanese TV shows where they dub over some real life mystery story in Japanese (like having borderline pensioner women Japanese VAs add fucking わ~~~~ to everything for barely late 20s/barely 30s English-speaking women) are anything to go by, the Japanese dub could also end up being cringey as fuck.I do wonder if the game has Japanese voice acting.....im sure the lipsync is for English, but curiosity always gets the better of me.
No offence.Sorry if I have offended. I can't work out if I have been too crude for the internet or not.
I'm not making a real negative comment on her, Im sure shes great. She is very attractive.
It's basically MCU Thor. You take a grizzled viking god and turn him into a male model that shows his nude ass on screen. Put in tons of comedy and light hearted scenes. But hope that the guys stick around in the misguided belief that any of this is for them. It works sometimes.You do tend to get the impression that large swathes of the entertainment industry think dudes will just keep consuming everything that's put in front of them.
The sad thing is they might be right, in a lot of cases.
I would suggest things would be very different, if we all stopped buying this stuff.... instead of purchasing it - and then complaining about it. Why would they stop?
Her voice sound like someone who doesnt play game try to talk about game with a force enthusiasm voice .
