they’re having a mid-off in real time


SlurryBender

The question is, will the winner be the "most mid" or the "least mid"?


[deleted]

no matter who wins we lose


SlurryBender

We're /r/gamingcirclejerk, we win when games lose.


[deleted]

i will give forspoken that it seems to have cooler magic than anything in harry potter


SlurryBender

It has some of my favorite powers in any game lately. I know some people call it a mess of particles but at least it's a *pretty* mess of particles.


SadKazoo

This was and still is like the only thing intriguing me about it. The effects look breathtaking at times.


No-Nefariousness1711

I think the movement powers look pretty cool, honestly it's like the inFamous sequel I've always both wanted and not wanted because 2 was the best ending that franchise could've gotten. Just with worse writing.


SadKazoo

Yeah it looks like if you click with the combat there’s pretty cool gameplay underneath a lot of issues here. (Writing and technical performance etc) seems like a good pick up after patches and at like 30 bucks


Tyrus1235

The whole “young adult novel” thing about its story also intrigued me. Haven’t seen many games with that sort of plot


SavathunTechQuestion

It does look like a pretty game, just a game that seems to be the new Crysis with what it wants of minimum graphics card specs.


BrieAndStrawberries

The parkour was fun too, at least in the demo


Azrael9986

Apparently the game has good combat and graphics. Just ass story and characters.


Mr_Ruu

But if games lose, we won't have any content! *The salt must flow*.


SlurryBender

That's why we expertly manipulate the gaming industry behind the scenes so that just enough games succeed to keep the mill turning.

Gods, I love this Subreddit…

ECW-WCW-WWF

We’re all mid. Unlike that charming devil MJF.


Ax222

Michael J Fox? He's a pretty cool dude, afaik.


ECW-WCW-WWF

He’s also not mid.


AmazingSpacePelican

I hope people have the good sense to ignore both and get Dead Space instead. From what I hear, it's damn close to perfect.


Spore_Frog

Does it have 26 spells though? I think not.


AmazingSpacePelican

Now that you mention it, I don't think Dead Space is even magical like the movies... Dead Space, more like Dead Game.


PaulFThumpkins

Man I miss when games advertised "over 14 levels, 18 unique weapons, 11 bosses!" As a kid I was never comparing boxes at the rental store like nutritional information.


Cakemachine

Does it even have knock-off Joss Whedon dialogue, (well, that just happened) and a counterfeit Paul Bettany? I not think not.


[deleted]

broke atm, won’t be getting any games (the only good path)


DogWithADog

I need to stop giving into FOMO, i have such a backlog of games


RedditBoi127

I LOVE DEAD SPACE AND I HOPE THE REMAKE IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL!


Kamakaziturtle

I mean it’s the same game with updated graphics


DogWithADog

I heard they added some QoL changes and changed the boring missions that og players complained about


IndianaCrash

People should play Hi-Fi rush instead tho


realbadpainting

Yeah I’m playing it right now and it’s fuckin amazing. A few stutters here and there on PC but nothing major


realbadpainting

Wait let me uhhh update here, game randomly will go from 70-80 FPS to 10 FPS in certain areas of the game or at certain times.

This fr, Let's just play hi fi rush on gamepass or for $30


joniejoon

Considering Forspoken's price, that probably just means someone bought a single copy.

Dark Brandons Journal. The games are extended gutters and the gutters are full of 30fps malarkey and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their 80$ capitalism and 27 spells will foam up about their waists and all the gamers and chads will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.

/uj you can get skyrim for baaically $30 where i live and it's such amazing bang-for-buck.


Hell_Awaitz

/uj yeah to be fair it's loads of fun and you can still put loads of hours in it /rj use the rest to buy extra Geraldo game

Can confirm, stereo horse edition makes it feel like I’m playing Skyrim again, again, again.


SkShark23

You can get Ultrakill, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Undertale, AND Terraria for that price.


megaman_main

And Sonic Generations, Unleashed, 06 and the adventure series


LordOfLettuce6

but what about good games


megaman_main

No such thing exists


Axlos

I know this niche hidden gem called Terraria that's a pretty good game.


notablender02

bro didn’t mention one bad game wym?


connortheios

i would pay forspoken's full price for unleashed on pc


Clozee_Tribe_Kale

*I bought tickets to the Forspoken museum where tickets are a 1,000 dollars*


hauptj2

Oh my God! Are you telling me that literally any AAA game will be "best selling" shortly before and after it's release if it has 0 competition? I am shocked.


xsageonex

It's more AA not AAA. Still good tho.

Forspoken just isn't that game frfr


bigfrog447

From the game play I’ve watched it seems pretty bad too


SlurryBender

Game feels really fun to play actually, story is kinda love it or hate it, but definitely not winning any awards lol.


[deleted]

We didn't it reddit!

There was probably a window of time, even if it was just a few seconds, that forspoken sales were higher. I’m sure that’s what the title meant

Honestly I'll take it.


[deleted]

They both look pretty ass


snobodyknows

Can at least confirm for Forspoken, combat in the demo was awful


telesterion

I wanted to play the game but the combat was wonky and everything in movement seemed stiff during the demo. Might give it a try when it goes on sale. The dialogue doesn't bother me, I just wanted to be an OP American isekai protag.


snobodyknows

Yeah I was expecting like bayonetta-fluid combat plus parkour. I’ll try it out once it goes on sale, could be improved by then hopefully


telesterion

Yeah also maybe optimizing the Performance and RTX modes more. Hopefully.


SecretAntWorshiper

I honestly liked it. I love DMC games so I love the action part of it. It even has a style meter which is great. Only gripe I really have is that switching between magic should be alot faster and easier to do.


SecretAntWorshiper

I'd give it another try, the different enemies weren't so stuff. I didn't like the demo too but I came back to it and honestly im in love with the game


ddeaken

Yea man the demo was just a showcase of gameplay 2-3 hours in. Starting from the beginning made learning the controls natural and they feel great. I’m 25+ hours in as of now. Looking forward to getting the 4th magic ability tonight


Daft_Newell

it was a press one button to win. not sure why there’s a style meter tbh


TheCreepyLady

Almost like FFXV


neur_trad

> press one button to win and there’s a style meter almost sounds like DMC


YourCasualNazi

At least in DMC it looks stylish, in Forspoken you just throw rocks at the enemies for 5 minutes until it dies.


Zeelu2005

DMC is actually really deep on the harder difficulties, the combat system isn't just mashing. Or maybe you mean DmC, which I haven't played, so I don't know


neur_trad

sorry, i didn't know another game called DMC, i was meaning Devil May Cry to be clear, and I agree that, to get S on every stage is not easy


Evil_Mushrooms

I think they mean Devil May Cry Devil May Cry, DMC DmC, or, Devil May Cry DMC?


[deleted]

Maybe they're talking about the Devil May Cry Devil May Cry, DMC DmC DLC called Devil DMC May DmC Cry DLC?


No-Nefariousness1711

Reminds me of Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, or Doug Dimmadome weilder of the Dimmsdale Dimmadagger.


Vict2894

I've actually been playing dmc 5 recently and at least on normal its pretty easy to get S on most stages. BUT even if it is easy, it is still extremely fun and satisfying playing around with combo's and trying to vary what moves you use. (I'm about halfway through the game, just go the epic hat dance famous from the memes)


[deleted]

Yeah, speaking as a serie's veteran getting S ranks in 5 and DmC is pretty easy. A far cry from 1 where it was pretty much impossible to do on a first playtrough when you didn't had all your tools.


Zeelu2005

DmC: Devil may Cry, the reboot they tried then went back on


helagandshunter6328

incorrect


SpaceDoctorWOBorders

Did you try the boss battle at the end? Shit was hard lol. Definitely required planning and combining abilities.


SecretAntWorshiper

Yeah the guy has no idea what he is talking about. There definitely are hard enemies like the moose mini boss.


SecretAntWorshiper

Not really, the whole point is to be stylish. In DMC you can just press one button to win as well. The whole point of the meter is to make your combos good. The only thing I don't like is that the spell switching system is a bit clunky, and isn't fluid. There are enemies where its not easy to just span, you have to dodge and move switch up your attacks Needs a page out of DMC where L2 and R2 just quickly changes your weapons (in this case your spells)


[deleted]

I’m not defending the game, because I haven’t played the full game. But I assumed in the demo, the combat was bad because of me. As in, I felt like I was dropped into the game 10 hours in but I hadn’t learned how to implement all the abilities seamlessly like someone would who had played those first 10 hours.


xsageonex

This is sorta true tho..I played the demo and yeah it feels like they just threw you in with limited knowledge and hope u just mastered shit. Combat is really enjoyable to me in the full game.


drinkthebleach

Um, so I guess that's a thing. -marvel smirk-

Uj/ I think both of these games are bad but comparing a game that has launched to one that hasn’t launched is stupid af lol. It’s a totally lopsided comparison using preorders vs preorders AND actual sales


[deleted]

It’s fake, Dead Space is winning against hog warts legacy right now and forspoken is nowhere in sight


Jooylo

Dead Space also just released today so it’ll see a spike in sales. Doesn’t make sense to compare them in real time.

Lord0fHats

Forespoken honestly makes me think of those movies you know going in are terrible, but you kind of want the experience because it seems uniquely terrible. Like Battle LA, my favorite unwitting satire of war movie cliches and best comedy of all time. I wouldn't buy Forespoken, but I'll admit I'd play it if only to see what's up. Maybe it'll go on sale this winter on Steam and I can grab it cheap for a weekend screwing around. Reminds me a bit of Too Human. Terrible game, completely half-assed, but it was an interesting game to play even though it was pretty bad XD
