Best of Forspoken [Part 2] (Oneyplays Compilation)

"Forspoken? More like For-SPOOK-en! Picture this: Frey, a bona fide New York millennial, gets yeeted into Athia, a place that's as beautiful as an Instagram influencer's feed, but as cruel as a Monday morning. Girl's gotta find a way back home (her pizza delivery probably misses her already). But how? Magic, duh! Now she's parkouring over mountains like she's in a real-life Skyrim and playing whack-a-monster with an army of beasties. Hold on to your avocado toasts, folks, it's gonna get wild!"

[@johndavey2340]

It’s so insane they had all the intro and the entire other world gimmick just to explain why their main character talks in millennial soy dialogue cliches

[@00Discourse00]

Nah fam', y'know what's actually crazy? That dragon's flight animation is on par with the intro cutscene of Might and Magic 7.

Ummmm sir, you have just earned yourself some Reddit gold

Ermspoken: I can't believe this is frikkin' happening edition.

[@Prowerder]

Ermspoke is a new political term now.

[@DTylerFultzVA]

The game "Hi-Fi Rush" was basically shadow-dropped w/little to no advertising. It was celebrated as an instant classic. Forspoken got a huge budget and tons of advertising, and it crashed and burned, taking the studio with it.

[@dysn3961]

Either you make a bad game and the studio goes down, or you make a good game and the studio goes down

[@samflood5631]

That’s the logic of Microsoft for ya.

[@chadschmaltz9790]

It's a shame because Hi-Fi Rush's rhythm mechanics and Hack-n-slash gameplay fit together so well. I had hoped for a possible sequel or to see what else the studio might come up with.

[@DopeAmine-nn1sx]

[@spookhyskeleton]

​You know your writing really is something else when Zach drops the cynicism and shows such genuine emotion

[@DoubtX]

I love at 39:00 when Lyle guesses the dialogue for like the 7th time, and he's s just bored when he's proven right yet again.

[@artemisfowldragon]

The “languages are the same” line honestly pisses me off because it’s something that could’ve been interesting in her and the cuff’s dynamic if he was translating, but instead they just wanted an excuse to not have to ever have the npc’s speak anything other than english

[@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow]

The writers only cared about writing a shitty self insert

[@omni-nerdno7191]

Sucks for every other language on the planet that I guess didn't transfer across dimensions. Imagine if the main character could only speak Dutch or Vietnamese

[@FaolanHart]

Honestly I think the idea of painting magical runes on your nails to power spells to be a great idea. Shame it wasn't attached to something of quality.

[@greengoblinhunter]

i was thinking the same thing it's the only thing i saw that i actually thought was cool and haven't really seen before

[@lakshaykochhar6799]

Monsters' designs are pretty cool too.

[@SlicedWrist]

10:21 i have never seen Zach hate a game like this one

[@cthulhluftagn3812]

Pure, unfiltered hatred

[@CeraphineLuna]

It is extremely boring and quippy so that's understandable

[@ghost3337]

I always hate that trope where people from the real world go into a fantasy land with zero sense of awareness that they shouldn't behave like they'd normally would. Why tf would she even say she is from "Hell's Kitchen"?

[@Marigoldpyre]

It kind of worked in Army of Darkness, but only because Ash is overtly characterised as a brash idiot who fucks up for comedic effect. I agree though I feel.like if you've got an iq higher than the average glass of water you wouldn't say "I'm from hell's kitchen" to a fantasy court in a fantasy world you got fucking teleported to.

[@denkerbosu3551]

​@@Marigoldpyre you would think to first say "from the USA" or smth, but bih bad to be super specific, but not enough to say "from x street" No, she has to give the worst possible answer.

[@dr.shakib9961]

That "second rule of pick pocketing: never get back what you stole" quote still boggles my mind to no end.

[@megaultradamn]

I may be overthinking but I think she meant that, as a lowly pickpocketer, you shouldn't go after your stolen goods if they get stolen from you. That might mean that: A: the victim knew you stole it and took it back. B: the thing was already stolen more than once C: the thing might be important enough to someone important. Someone you shouldn't mess around with, Stealiqua!

[@onionhat745]

The first rule of eating cereal is never eat cereal that you've already eaten.

[@Tunkkis]

​@@megaultradamn I'm pretty sure it's more like "Don't give back anything, because then you're also admitting to the crime".

[@maximumbeans9310]

Sounds like she actually says ‘never GIVE back what you stole’ which is still a lame line but at least it makes more sense.

[@AstraVex]

27:20 - WOW, Zach really goes off on one here! 😂

[@dannydorito2954]

"Lyle, they hit the pentagon THE DRAGONS, LYLE, *THEY HIT THE PENTAGON!"*

I finally realized what this game is supposed to be, it's the remake of the movie Black Knight with Martin Lawrence.

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

Don't you sully that masterpiece by comparing it to this slop. (Kidding but honestly Black Knight was great, pure nonsense but it was fun)

[@baronvonbeandip]

This is more a remake of Sonic and the Black Knight

I can't believe hate speech like this is just allowed on the youtubes

[@GrayD_Fox]

People say they want more but I think what we got was plenty enough. We got the idea of it, I don’t imagine it getting any “better” than what we saw.

[@Tunkkis]

People just want to hear the boys being angry and funny.

[@VelvetAura]

I hear Frey does become a better character throughout the game but that'd be less funny to watch so

[@baronvonbeandip]

​@@VelvetAuraI cannot begin to believe that.

3:30 I love that this is basically an ending in Drakengard Not the twin towers but the middle of fucking Japan

[@Zuuh-su7oy]

"Where is she from?" "Hells Kitchen" "You see? She is with the devil!" Thats kinda funny lol

[@mayojamsandwich2939]

Average forspoken fan

[@denkerbosu3551]

The fact she thought of saying this takes a lot of the humor away. Makes me hate her more. If she had told that to the girl that saves her after being saved, casually, and then show the girl's face going "... Wtf did I do? Were they right? Did I release a devil worshiper from prisoner?!"

[@Blu_Laguna]

The silence and then Zac's comment after kills me 5:20

[@xenoncantread]

i absolutely love when they go quiet during this series because it always builds up to either a way funnier bit than whatever "comedy" the game could attempt or a really funny and accurate critique of it

[@haraldtopfler]

10:12 The way Zach so geuninely yells "WE KNOW THE FUCKING PLOT" is BEYOND hilarious xD

[@theman6422]

It feels like they forgot to make Frey a character halfway through making the game and so they were like “oh yeah after like five hours of her being a horrible, uninteresting, unintelligent person, we should give her an actual arc” cuz the whole “she’s the hero!” Thing came up out of nowhere

[@LabrnMystic]

"This game is made for nobody" 😂

I can't believe these guys aren't enjoying this amazing game. What a bunch of sneakerheads.

[@RobGradyVO]

I remember seeing the Cone Heads movie with my parents as a kid like when I was like 4 or something cause my parents like SNL and were like "oh its probably like Waynes World or Night at the Roxbury". and just like Halfway through my dad was like "This si really bad..."

[@TravisFebruary]

18:57 I wish Auden had said that to her in a particular scene later in the game

[@FardNutzDeluxe]

I like how they all laugh at the word "sneakerhead" while it's an actual word thatsused pretty commonly

[@DieWorm]

Anything Frey says is cringe so if she says she’s a sneakerhead then sneakerhead is cringe

[@Tunkkis]

​@@DieWorm Buying heaps of clothes you're afraid to wear because they might lose value is pretty cringe in and of itself.

[@denkerbosu3551]

​@@Tunkkis tbh I can't process Why someone would collect something you're supposed to wear to look good. I also doubt it's commonly used anyway. It really sounds like a slur.

I'd rather listen to pawns talk than anything Fray says.
