High On Life is probably a better game but it is also way unfunnier and more annoying and has worse writing. Forspoken is just so bland that people have to latch onto 30 second clips from the first hour because that's the only thing of note. Both games have jokes that land and Forspoken is probably funnier but it all depends on if you think subpar Joss Whedon writing (who is already a shit writer) is funnier than rambling improv shotgun approach style.

Both are emblematic of why video game writing is pretty universally reviled and for good reason but neither are like so bad because of the writing alone

<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence> I still have no idea what that game is supposed to be about. The only thing I've even heard about it is people meming the part about a talking gun to death in regards to writing/comparing it to High On Life.

@Kuro

It's an isekai that had an unfortunate trailer a couple months ago that has now saddled the game with a reputation of being 'cringe Marvel humor' (even though that says nothing) which is a weird talking point in a game that is ostensibly a bland open world rpg with moderately fun magic based combat and traversal mechanics. It's the kind of game that a couple generations ago would come out to little fanfare and be forgotten but then a couple years later would have people calling it a hidden gem.

The comparisons to High on Life is that, much like High on Life, the talking companions don't ever shut the fuck up. It's worse in High on Life because the guns, knife, and enemies all create a maddening dirge of Justin Roiland humor but in Forspoken it's a lot of quippy jabs between the protag and her haughty magic bracelet. So pick your poison, really.

Hi-Fi RUSH, which came out today after being announced today, is fucking awesome. It's a rhythm character action game where all your hits attack on beat but if you time your attacks on beat they do more damage and heavy attacks use the off beat. Everything in the world moves to the beat of the song so you can use that or just feel it to know the timing. It's got a great aesthetic and also the first boss is set to a fuckin Nine Inch Nails song and is the hypest shit since Rules of Nature

I MUST KNOW NOW. Is it made out of Pink? Or made for Pink?

@PerfectThought

A shitty pink sauce made by a tik tok influencer that had terrible packaging and looks like pepto bismal.

I'm going to give the definitive ranking of the Star Wars movies (only the movies not the shows, who has time for that) because me ranking the MCU movies will take much more effort.

Anime & Manga! Oh my! (Anime/Manga Thread)

I have a very complicated relationship with One Piece where I haven't really enjoyed it as much as I did in the pre-timeskip days and the most recently finished arc was an absolute slog for me that I questioned if it was even worth it or if I was sunken costing it but then he puts out a banger chapter and I'm back in.

RRR was so good it made me want to punch British people
