If this is as cringe as Final Fantasy Chaos I might dip

High on Life is actually hilarious though. Guardians of the Galaxy is also funny.
Having characters talk a lot can be pulled off, but you have to have decent writing.

Even with the yap-o-meter cranked to 11, it’s probably still less annoying than a typical Xenoblade battle.

I think it will start higher than it lands since they have selectively picked the first round(s) of reviewers - if that is correct.
When it tanks on user reviews for the cringe dialogue and any performance issues, you can expect the standard, "Forespoken is getting review bombed by toxic fans" articles that are probably already pre-written by Kotaku, Verge, etc.
Lands at 66

in the 60s but the game will get bonus points from media outlets who always want to "get back at gamers". the same ones who will absolutely destroy hogwarts meta, whether that game deserves a low score or not,
(overall, reviews are meaningless, at least the game had a demo to help players decide yay or nay)

Most shocking thing I've seen: 15 hour campaign from IGN.
What in the world are you talking about? Who is picking reviews? Some of the ideas some of you have about this industry are just wild.

360 era Square Enix is certainly a quote.

Scoring isnt complete yet, but in one of the other threads, a gaffer said 67. So far spot on. I took the over at the low 70s.
Thread will be updated when reviews drop.

I think Luminous Productions is going to be up for sale soon.

Some reviewers made claims that they weren't sent review codes by Square Enix because they bashed the demo of the game, they also claimed no PC review codes were sent out. Kind of blew up last week.

Maybe this game would have some success if it was on Sony's playstation Plus Extra from day one. THey must have paid a chunk to get this exclusive so may as well put it on IMO.
Haha. . .I saw that one and will admit I kind of laughed to myself.
. . .I honestly think this game might be another one of those "Stranger of Paradise" deals: game with fantastic and deep gameplay saddled by having to put a narrative experience around it. And I like SOP, and agree with every one of the mediocre reviews of it in one way or another. This is definitely a wait for a sale - or user experience - type situation where folks who aren't on a compressed schedule can really crack the game open and see if there's anything to the combat and other activities that make the game worth digging into. . .eventually.
Oh - I thought they were saying that reviews were like some sort of "Sports Draft" or something. It's still a silly "conspiracy theory": that SE has such a deep relationship with games media to be able to know what kind of review score they want to massage at launch and this isn't just them being petty for previous slights.

I hope this is the death of Luminous Productions.
The game design, writing, graphics... everything might as well be shit, uninspired, outdated, whatever you wanna call it.
But when not even the dude who is directing the cutscenes seems to have even the slightest clue about cinematography... that's when the product as a whole becomes insulting to me.

Yeah it’s looking rough. I expected a bit better but I guess it will make the price drop happen faster.

I honestly thought it was going to score much higher. If it even got to 68 when it had everything to score high, it's got to be a steaming piece of garbage.

Even though I mainly buy open world (or strategy) games this was just never on my radar as it looks so generic.
Watched a few reviews out of interest and it sounds like it was designed by an AI where it has all of the right components but all, or at least most, fall totally flat.
Plenty of open world games have big flaws but also have strengths in other areas so you're still going to have a great time but this just sounds mediocre all round which is a huge sin for something that will probably take tens of hours to 100%.
