Buuuuuuut, let's be real, there will be a few rounds of layoffs and firings which will lead to; how did that one article put it; "make the studio lose its identity". So in other words: Getting absorbed will "intrinsically kill" the studio.
My favorite part is when she looked directly into the camera and says "If only marginalized voices like mine were given a platform on Disney+ Hulu streaming service!" Truly empowering.

Then as they're both dangling, she would have to choose which to save, the cat or the money. Which would obviously be the cat, but still show that she's still broken that she lost all the money that she collected. It isn't that hard, what were these writer's thinking? -_-
If you assume the writers thought the average gamer was a total moron who has never experienced story telling before, every decision they made makes WAY more sense.
@@AdamantLightLP They really went for the lowest hanging fruit. You can be a compassionate person, but you can also be smart and logical. Especially when it comes to precious resources like, i don't know, *a bag full of money you can use to move out of the shitter you live in maybe?!*
I had such low expectations for the dialogue in this game and it somehow missed the bar. I'm fascinated that a team put this out earnestly. To quote Chris: "wHaT wErE tHeY tHiNkInG?!"
to be unreasonably fair to the writers, I've heard a few times that the devs for whatever reason (probably time/cost constraints) basically scrapped the entire original story. But that doesn't really affect the dialog, does it? Even if we got to see "their true vision" it still would've been quippy, self referential, marvel comic tier dialog that insults the audience's intelligence every chance it gets. It'd be one thing if characterization didn't make sense, if the plot didn't make sense, but Frey and Cuff at least spoke like normal people. I mean Cuff is supposed to be a kind of arch angel summoned to exact revenge, but he talks like a teenage fanfiction writer's Dr. Who self insert character. And Frey is just insufferably self absorbed ONTOP of being a fucking Chosen One mary sue.
They will do every sidequest, every dlc, they will commentate over all the trailers, they will do readings of the most popular fan fictions, and they will get every achievement before this ends.
I'm so lost for how her room is meant to be interpreted. So she snuck in from outside implying she can't use the front door because she's a squatter. She then covers the window once again implying she can't let people know she's there. She then walks 2 steps over to a massive open window and stands directly in front of it. Why did she cover the stair well side then?! And the boys pointed out she shouldn't have electricity if she's squatting so how's that work?
What homeless people you all seen with a phone?? I work on a campus and I see and speak to plenty of homeless folk and they ain't whipping their phones out like her. Near the ship yard in my area their is a place where people can apply for temporary job and they don't lend out phones nor track phones and I seen the process to get a track phone with reasonable minutes on it good luck filling that paperwork. Now I could be ignorant but in Virginia and some of the time I spent in North Carolina plus Washington I didn't not see any homeless people with phones.
I literally clapped my feet together once I clicked the video, but as soon as I heard Zach's voice my eyebrow arose in suspicion and soon realized it was just tomar doing his patented and iconic Zach impression
8:49 I wish they kept going with this to slowly reveal that no matter how much they beat her, she will always stand back up and say a quip, like it's her power or something. "Batter up, huh?" "Nothing like a bullet to the knee" "I guess I've been... disarmed" "You're really blowing my mind" 10:00 That writer's strike comment was 👌
11:20 I like how the streets of New York are completely empty during the Christmas rush season at like 4pm in the afternoon except for the one whopping guy who the protag bumps into.
I like how Kamala Kahn is a character archetype for Chris. I'm almost positive no one else considers her a cornerstone of character troupes besides our Ginger Dearie.
@@ScumSookar She is Sana Amanat's self insert. The woman who sexually assaulted her male coworkers. So Hulkichu stuff is much more accurate than one would think.
Um actually, if you wanna get technical, Zach has a hypo-nasal voice. If you wanna be technical, you know, if you wanna be as precise as possible. You know if you’re into that kind of thing. Just saying “nasal voice” (like a pleb) isn’t precise enough, in my opinion. So you know that’s just a tidbit for you, for your future reference. Not trying to be an “a**hole” over here, I just like precision, y’know.!✌️
This game is what happens when you let someone who's been sheltered their whole life and has no imagination write freely instead of paying competent writers what they are owed
Cuts to tomar examining fetus - like clone of zach in a big green tube with a mischievous smile while finger tenting "hmm yes this one will be brrrrrrilliant"

Title is a cool reference to the last words Tomar ever spoke. When he looked into the eyes of the press and screamed “FORSPOKEN” whilst clutching his chest.
Holy shit, this is funny💀I heard the dialogue was bad but yall straight up predicted the dialogue a lot and didnt mean to. Please continue this. Reminds me that theres people who defend this game in random gameplay comments and I don't understand what kind of mental anguish they have went through to exist that way (random RUclips game trailers saying Forspoken isn't that bad 😂)
14:01 Star Wars if it was written like this game: Luke (Staring at sunset): "Aw man...I sure do wish I could leave my tedious and mundane farmer boy life and run off with a rag tag group of misfits and go on an epic galaxy trotting adventure to take down an evil, tyrannical, intergalactic empire or something like that..."
what gamers really love is walking for 10 seconds down a narrow alley in between just watching the scenes where the player character actually does anything
“So let me get this straight. I chased one bug and now I’m a bug chaser, I got a beetle spot on my leg, and, oh yeah, I ate a worm. Ok! That’s something I do now!”
Judging by Square Enix past cynical behaviour, the bad writing probably comes from: 1) Following a story structure the more mechanically and organically as possible, to the point it becomes detrimental to the story itself and makes no sense. 2) wanting to construct a deeply relatable character for the younger demographic based on what is cool on twitter. Kamala Khan was written in the Avengers to be a proxy of the player (the ultimate Marvel movie fan, so a cool poc Redditor with superpowers who write fanfic and can hack Tony stark). This is aimed at Twitter demographic. Poor, can't afford rent, can afford luxury clothes, dress in cool clothing, has a cat, the cat is female but has a male name, lives in New York and new York is a cool city according to non-americans, is black, was in a gang, has Tumblr speech, etc. This is less "oh the writers are so dumb" and more "oh the writers are actual psychopaths". Like it is horrible the more you think about it, it is like a Frankenstein monster of trending concepts.
That's the fun thing, it basically is. Square Enix was reluctantly convinced to let a bunch of Westerners fully handle the story as a means of reaching a wider/broader audience in the west, while the Japanese branch focused on developing the actual game, and this is what they got out of it; 100% North American story telling 🔥 🙏 🔥
@@jackknife01 im sure this isnt a westener thing, i think its a being a bunch of dribbling retards who cant write a good story to save themselves sort of thing. im fairly certain those types of people are found internationally, just so happens to be more common within the west

Which would obviously be the cat, but still show that she's still broken that she lost all the money that she collected. It isn't that hard, what were these writer's thinking? -_-
If you assume the writers thought the average gamer was a total moron who has never experienced story telling before, every decision they made makes WAY more sense.
@@AdamantLightLP They really went for the lowest hanging fruit. You can be a compassionate person, but you can also be smart and logical. Especially when it comes to precious resources like, i don't know, *a bag full of money you can use to move out of the shitter you live in maybe?!*
One 19 minute episode and I can already tell this is going to be an OneyPlays all time classic
Yea a golden 35 minute completed series
@@rodmullen64 I will gladly take at least one more video
18:57 made this an instant winner
The number of cliche/ hackey predictions they made, ACCURATELY, whilst playing... is just goddamn hilarious
I had such low expectations for the dialogue in this game and it somehow missed the bar. I'm fascinated that a team put this out earnestly. To quote Chris: "wHaT wErE tHeY tHiNkInG?!"
It's like they didn't even try!
to be unreasonably fair to the writers, I've heard a few times that the devs for whatever reason (probably time/cost constraints) basically scrapped the entire original story. But that doesn't really affect the dialog, does it? Even if we got to see "their true vision" it still would've been quippy, self referential, marvel comic tier dialog that insults the audience's intelligence every chance it gets. It'd be one thing if characterization didn't make sense, if the plot didn't make sense, but Frey and Cuff at least spoke like normal people. I mean Cuff is supposed to be a kind of arch angel summoned to exact revenge, but he talks like a teenage fanfiction writer's Dr. Who self insert character. And Frey is just insufferably self absorbed ONTOP of being a fucking Chosen One mary sue.
You're quoting AVGN there ackshually
Zach: "THAT'S THE PLOT OF '8 CRAZY NIGHTS'!!!!"
I laughed so loudly my big belly made a seismic shock.
did your fat rolls clap together like two wet pieces of meat?
I hope this becomes a 100+ episode series.
They will do every sidequest, every dlc, they will commentate over all the trailers, they will do readings of the most popular fan fictions, and they will get every achievement before this ends.
I hope not. This series will make the bois evil to the bone
I can give you three episodes, At most
I'm so lost for how her room is meant to be interpreted. So she snuck in from outside implying she can't use the front door because she's a squatter. She then covers the window once again implying she can't let people know she's there. She then walks 2 steps over to a massive open window and stands directly in front of it. Why did she cover the stair well side then?! And the boys pointed out she shouldn't have electricity if she's squatting so how's that work?
You can steal electricity, that's probably why it's on fire. I doubt tho, it would make too much sense.
This game has alot of questionable stuff. The fact that she has a phone still blows my mind.
@@cloudonpot To be fair, the majority of homeless people have cellphones nowadays since they're so essential.
@@cloudonpot phones are pretty common for homeless people nowadays
What homeless people you all seen with a phone?? I work on a campus and I see and speak to plenty of homeless folk and they ain't whipping their phones out like her. Near the ship yard in my area their is a place where people can apply for temporary job and they don't lend out phones nor track phones and I seen the process to get a track phone with reasonable minutes on it good luck filling that paperwork. Now I could be ignorant but in Virginia and some of the time I spent in North Carolina plus Washington I didn't not see any homeless people with phones.
it's really sweet how well the guys have accepted zach 2 after that unfortunate night
After those 8 unfortunate nights.
I still can't believe what Tomar did to Zach prime
@@TheScrootch it was understandable though, after what zach prime said about little Tomey
@@snerttt it was quite the technical foul
I'm sorry to inform you this is Zach 17
“These writers should go on strike to get paid better” fucking spat my drink everywhere holy shit
14:57 i love the noise that lyle made
I’m so pumped for the next episode. Their commentary in this one is fucking ‘GOLD.’
it's literally just them whining like bitches at every chance they get
Nah sorry this is destined to be a complete series in a week
Thanks for the gold kind stranger
Saints row didn’t last long, this could go the exact same way
I literally clapped my feet together once I clicked the video, but as soon as I heard Zach's voice my eyebrow arose in suspicion and soon realized it was just tomar doing his patented and iconic Zach impression
After being buried in the Earth for a hundred days, he has emerged as Century Zach
Lol like a century egg
Yea dude we will TOTALLY (Im to tired to find a funny joke for this quote)
8:49 I wish they kept going with this to slowly reveal that no matter how much they beat her, she will always stand back up and say a quip, like it's her power or something.
"Batter up, huh?"
"Nothing like a bullet to the knee"
"I guess I've been... disarmed"
"You're really blowing my mind"
10:00 That writer's strike comment was 👌
Lyle thinking Emma Watson was transgender and calling her Elliot Watson followed by Zach referring to Lyle as Chris. It’s like poetry, it rhymes
"This is the plot of 8 Crazy Nights" had me dead
11:20 I like how the streets of New York are completely empty during the Christmas rush season at like 4pm in the afternoon except for the one whopping guy who the protag bumps into.
I like how Kamala Kahn is a character archetype for Chris.
I'm almost positive no one else considers her a cornerstone of character troupes besides our Ginger Dearie.
He has limited exposure to obnoxious woc protagonists
Kamala Kahn was so insufferable, her being one of many examples of terrible character work.
"Self-Insert" and "Kamala Kahn" are pretty much synonyms to be fair.
@@ScumSookar True, it's just halarious she's his go to for woke girl self insert characters.
@@ScumSookar She is Sana Amanat's self insert. The woman who sexually assaulted her male coworkers. So Hulkichu stuff is much more accurate than one would think.
"MOVE TO GEORGIA" is now one of my favorite Lyle moments
“it’s a music gun” is in the running for greatest Lyle quote
Oh my god, they got everyone they needed to play this, theyre playing this knowing FULL WELL theyre gonna hate it
Not even Zach was prepared for how ass this game is
Ok, so let me get this straight... I'm on RUclips, I'm watching FREAKING Oneyplays... and Zach is in the episode.. YUP, this is gonna be EPIC !
I was waiting for someone to reference that thank you
shut up and take my updoots!
And I'm talking to a freaking LYLE! Yeah okay, that's something that I do now. I do gaslighting, kill rats, I'll probably jelq next.
You could say life is like a video game
I'll probably even see a Tomar or two...
*Hears that unmistakably nasal voice at the start of the video*
Yup, this is gonna be heckin' epic
*hears that iconic nasal voice*
Oh yeah baby
*takes off my double layered crusty socks and wiggles toes*
This is it babe
you see the schnauz on the thumbnail
Um actually, if you wanna get technical, Zach has a hypo-nasal voice. If you wanna be technical, you know, if you wanna be as precise as possible. You know if you’re into that kind of thing. Just saying “nasal voice” (like a pleb) isn’t precise enough, in my opinion. So you know that’s just a tidbit for you, for your future reference. Not trying to be an “a**hole” over here, I just like precision, y’know.!✌️
@@thanatoserebos i love you
10:03 that’s a genuine laugh from Zach I love it
This game is what happens when you let someone who's been sheltered their whole life and has no imagination write freely instead of paying competent writers what they are owed
My favorite part about the bleeped word joke is you can hear Chris start turning gears in his head when he hears "Mr Giggin" at 9:23
08:09 I like how that npc checked the time on his invisible watch, such attention to detail!
Very realistic interaction considering I'd come up with any excuse to get away from her
i hope this new clone of Zach lasts longer than the last one
Normally they only last eight crazy nights
@@How_To_Drive_a_TARDIS they last over seven realms
@@fldsmdfr9107 WHAAAT?
He lasted as long as my edging session 💦🌊
Cuts to tomar examining fetus - like clone of zach in a big green tube with a mischievous smile while finger tenting "hmm yes this one will be brrrrrrilliant"
This is an Avengers level classic in the making.
Please keep making episodes of this guys.
This feels like an Oneyplays greatest hits video with country Zack and an iconic reference to 8 Crazy Nights. I love it
I know they edit things down a bit but agreed, this is already a best-of lol
Lyles genuine "DYAH-" in disbelief fucking killed me
Zach will never admit he has over 400 hours in this game and it’s destroying his personal life cause he is so hopelessly addicted
Those four hundred hours were spent trying grabbing that money with Y.
I like that everything they make fun of or predict legitimately comes real the second right after.
You guys are gonna pre-quote so much of this games dialogue that they're gonna hire you for the sequel
Even though Part of me hates how AAA games have been filled with these terrible, cringey, try hard stories, another part of me wants it to keep happening because it makes for the BEST Oneyplays content
"These writers should go on strike to get paid better."
This is why i love you guys.
Poc character first thing she does on screen is being in court for stealing. Empowering
And has a sneaker collection, this game is unintentionally racist, holy shit
And gets called a monster and arrested on sight lol
Cops fault tho you forget this. They caught Her stealing.
People relate to things relatable....what a surprise
Inner City life is something else
@@TheBfutgreg implying all poc are thieves? Kind of racist
In what world is being in court for stealing relatable to most people (who play videogames might i add)
19:02 I think my head left my body! I have never chuckled so hard! Definitely top 10 oneyplays moment!
its about time Zach came onto Oneyplays with a hangover
18:55
"I have to find Homer first!"
"I've gotta find Homer first!"
You know youve made a fantastic game when people are laughing throughout the emotional sequences lmao
"Why isn't she satisfied by the free home, the bag of thousands of dollars she stole, and leniency from the judge?" Guys, you wouldn't get it, you're not a female POC with a talking cuff.
Look if you were a Woman you'd get it okay. Sick of all you chauvinistic maniacs ruining the reality i made for everyone!
Um... w-what if I am, hmrrr?
Zach sounds like he's been recording a little too many Charlie lines for season 2
Chris, Zach, Lyle are a special type of focused, potent, scuzz.
Im here for it until i die
7:15 Lyle correcting Chris here with what I can only assume is complete sincerity and then immediately realising he's talking about a completely different person is so fucking funny
Very brave of them to get Zach’s stunt double for this video
Title is a cool reference to the last words Tomar ever spoke. When he looked into the eyes of the press and screamed “FORSPOKEN” whilst clutching his chest.
Yeah but I think he went a little too far when he erupted into a pile of red goo while screeching like an eldritch creature right after that
3:48 Zachs electric chair bit lined up perfectly with the judge in the cutscene.
14:50, the. beginning of the joke that leads to the funniest sound I’ve ever heard Lyle make.
how are Zach and Chris able to come up with better stories, on the fly, than people literally paid to?
Because they're both incredibly talented individuals?
Also because the writers for this game are hacks?
These writersdef havent been paid to.
@@vibevizier6512 Game writers don't work for free. They probably got paid twice as much as you do to churn out this trite.
Anita Sarkesian apparently consulted on this game....

It's very sweet that Tomar is doing his best zach impression! He did it for all of us.
i love how the 3 of them had a moment of joking with a horrible dialog just to see it become true
Holy shit, this is funny💀I heard the dialogue was bad but yall straight up predicted the dialogue a lot and didnt mean to. Please continue this.
Reminds me that theres people who defend this game in random gameplay comments and I don't understand what kind of mental anguish they have went through to exist that way (random RUclips game trailers saying Forspoken isn't that bad 😂)
There was a dude in these comments defending it 💀💀
The part where she stutters the word "Giggin" with a gun to her head gives me a fucking aneurysm. Every time.
9:33 Zach sounds so much like Tomar here
10:03 that’s a genuine laugh from Zach I love it
So let me get this straight, Oney uploaded a new video? Yeah, okay, I guess that's a video I'll watch now.
wait... did i just do that?.. Did i just watch the entire video and smashed like on it? Guess Im an oneyplays fan now..
I'll watch oneyplays, maybe binge a complete series... huh, I'll probably make compilations next.
hard to read, thanks 👍
Uhm, yeah, I'm gonna watch that video.
Zach sounds like he ate another zach, and both him and the mid digestion zach are talking at the same time
14:01 Star Wars if it was written like this game:
Luke (Staring at sunset): "Aw man...I sure do wish I could leave my tedious and mundane farmer boy life and run off with a rag tag group of misfits and go on an epic galaxy trotting adventure to take down an evil, tyrannical, intergalactic empire or something like that..."
what gamers really love is walking for 10 seconds down a narrow alley in between just watching the scenes where the player character actually does anything
“So let me get this straight. I chased one bug and now I’m a bug chaser, I got a beetle spot on my leg, and, oh yeah, I ate a worm. Ok! That’s something I do now!”
The first minute captures only a fraction of excitement gamers had when playing this masterpiece
10:00 "These writers are on strike to get paid better" is iconic
Judging by Square Enix past cynical behaviour, the bad writing probably comes from:
1) Following a story structure the more mechanically and organically as possible, to the point it becomes detrimental to the story itself and makes no sense.
2) wanting to construct a deeply relatable character for the younger demographic based on what is cool on twitter.
Kamala Khan was written in the Avengers to be a proxy of the player (the ultimate Marvel movie fan, so a cool poc Redditor with superpowers who write fanfic and can hack Tony stark).
This is aimed at Twitter demographic. Poor, can't afford rent, can afford luxury clothes, dress in cool clothing, has a cat, the cat is female but has a male name, lives in New York and new York is a cool city according to non-americans, is black, was in a gang, has Tumblr speech, etc.
This is less "oh the writers are so dumb" and more "oh the writers are actual psychopaths". Like it is horrible the more you think about it, it is like a Frankenstein monster of trending concepts.
The beginning of this has "Marvel's Avengers by Square Enix" energy. Like when Kamlala "big hands" Khan talks about punching down
That's the fun thing, it basically is. Square Enix was reluctantly convinced to let a bunch of Westerners fully handle the story as a means of reaching a wider/broader audience in the west, while the Japanese branch focused on developing the actual game, and this is what they got out of it; 100% North American story telling 🔥 🙏 🔥
@@jackknife01 im sure this isnt a westener thing, i think its a being a bunch of dribbling retards who cant write a good story to save themselves sort of thing. im fairly certain those types of people are found internationally, just so happens to be more common within the west
