Rule of thumb: If a character is absolutely awful and unlikable, but everyone in the story likes them and adores them, then it’s a self insert for a writer who’s an insufferable person. The game doesn’t paint Frey’s actions and character as bad, and everyone in the game loves her; that’s because the writer doesn’t see anything wrong with how Frey is.
Just like Frey, the writer is living in a fantasy world.
God you’re right
It's funny how both Velma and Forspoken have almost the exact same issues regarding character writing
almost noone in the story liked her.. except for the people who thought they could use her for personal gain and her mother.. or people she helped before they liked her. and 1 guy whos basically insane..
How the heck is a name like Amy Hennig attached to this trash?
She's usually a great writer.
@@soupgirl1871 and that's only the beginning of shity unlacable characters and protagonists in movies and games
Fun fact: you don't have to be narcissistic just to be a strong and independent person. I don't know when these writers will learn
Well if the characters can't be narcissistic then how will the writers ever be able to self insert themselves into the story?
@@OBEYTHEPYRAMID yeah, take a look at red dead redemption 2. It's about a gang of degenerates. But you actually come to like the main character (who had a far rougher childhood than here)
Probably doesn't help that the writers aren't likely strong or independent themselves
I wouldn’t be surprised if the writers were women
They already know, I don’t know why people don’t get this.
It’s not them all the time.
Amy hennig, the woman that wrote the legacy of Kane games and the Nosgoth lore and is one of the best stories in video games and she also done uncharted, so she can definitely write.
It’s the higher ups saying “this is what we want, we want it like this, we want it like that, we want our politics in the game”
And because it’s not their project and they are hired, they just write half assed pick up their cheque and they are gone.
The writers don’t care if it’s a crap story and neither do the folk who commissioned the game because they obviously don’t care about lore and story telling or gameplay so long as their politics is in it.
Frey trying to outvictim the victim is such a typical Twitter move. 😂
Twitter Tumblr same thing these days. The hardcore autistic people with weird hobbies stayed on Tumblr identifying as houseplants while the more aggressive tards migrated to Twitter.
Its not that Frey is like someone on Twitter, its that someone whose mainly on twitter wrote Frey
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 don't give them ideas
Typical woke character writing
@@strygwrhas literally nothing to do with being woke, weirdo. This isn’t a woke game just because it stars a woman
"It's like shes trying to outvictim her."
So shes basically written like most Twitter users.
I think that’s exactly the problem with this game.
"Marvel having sex with Twitter's most annoying comedian"
Charlie truly has a way with words
i assumed he meant elon musk for some reason
@@nagiri3833damn, you must think of him in your sleep
@@nagiri3833 really? Empowered edgy teenage girl that fights the power and you think of musk who makes electric cars?
@@nagiri3833 Elon's not a comedian tho?
wait, does Twitter actually have comedians on it? ......please tell me it doesn't. Please...
Honestly the best character trait for a video game protagonist is what link has, “he never speaks because he doesn’t want to embarrass himself”.
I remember stumbling upon that lore in BOTW years ago and it made his silence so much more admirable, Frey could learn a thing or two lol
windwaker link probably talks like sonic, but nobody knows so nobody cares.
I mean, it's objectively true. Pretty much all of Link's dialogue in that game is facetiousness and puns. I mean the dude eats rocks on a dare, It's a good thing he keeps quiet.
I always thought he just had nothing to say
@@cajbajthewhite4889 damn didnt have to flame him
I like how the game actively tells you to not play the game by having the main character constantly remind you that she doesn't want to do any of this either.
This is a huge problem in a lot of media. If the characters are miserable it bleeds over, especially for games
I admire their audacity to have sequel hook scene after credits. It reminds me of Green Lantern.
🤮 please tell me you're joking
@@SlackerMagician someone doesn’t understand sarcasm 🤣
Super Mario Bros and Ghostbusters 2016 had a sequel hook too. Got to admire the optimism.
@@TheMasterOfCeremony They meant "please tell me you're joking" as in no way there's a sequel.
I admire the audacity of whoever had to play until the end credits lol
lightning mcqueen from when he gets to radiator springs to the end of the movie is a prime example of what should’ve happened with Frey
When a talking car from a 15 year old animated movie is a better protagonist
lmao I love this comparison and agree.
Yeah lightning McQueen should've been the protagonist of this game
that's a really solid example, agreed
man I loved cars
Let's be real here, the moment she parkored her way out of a gang fight, in which the people had a gun, and they just watched her behind a chainlink fence, I was over it.
i mean yes they have a gun but were they willing to use it? i dont think so, and let's say they decided to shoot her, it wont be benifecial for them because they need her to fix her shit and get back the car ( listen i dont give a shit about the game but so many people make your argument and i think there so many more better ones to shit on the game )
@@mohamedaminebensoltana4198 woah woah! You are asking people to put in a little common sense?! Can't do that on the internet.
Heaven forbid something unreal happens in a video game or movie you sound stupid.
@@mohamedaminebensoltana4198 so Im from a area where gangs and thugs are very common and I promise you if you have a gun and pull it and don’t shoot your just a bitch flexin, also at that point when real thugs get done over they tend to not think it’s smart to work with you again, that’s it, there’s a reputation to keep, that Hollywood shit is when your able to talk yourself out of it and to begin with you couldn’t take these “thugs” seriously anyway, nobody would send a little girl to do their work nor take her seriously, and if some little girl ever tried to come thuggin in cheetah print she’d get turned tf out so fast, so the scene altogether was terrible
It's funny because a normal person wouldn't have done that. In reality they'd run for their lives, they wouldn't stop and flip off their muggers to look cool. I hate this style of character writing, where the character is super unrealistic, snarky, and soulless. They don't express any emotions either, when they do, it's so contrived, "oh my dad died, I'm so depressed", that's literally marvel writing. They just spew snarky, sarcastic bullshit. It's so damn tiring. I wish writers would stop with this marvel level bullshit. Also it's a chainlink fence. Chain link fences can't really stop a bullet from going through it.
To those who would argue "If Frey was a man you would accept her attitude", I'd like to turn your attention to Alex from YIIK: A Postmodern RPG. Alex is written as a narcissistic asshole who is dismissive at best, outright cruel at worst to the people around him, friends included. Much like how Charlie describes Frey, Alex is meant to have an "arc" but he is an unlikeable tool up until the very last moments of the game in which he suddenly 180s and the audience is meant to like him now.
Audiences HATED him. Many critics, reviewers and online personalities disliked how unlikeable he was, how he was a rude manchild who made other peoples' trauma about him. Alex shares a lot of the same negative and annoying traits we see in Frey. Having a Y chromosome does not mean people will automatically put up with you being an asshole, and being a woman does not mean people should automatically excuse you being an asshole.
Bottom Line: Don't be mean to people.
I can’t help but feel like the “guy acts like a jerk” trope is more common and gets less flack compared to when it’s a female character instead, but it’s good to know that it doesn’t always seem to be the case. Personally, I hate when it’s handled the way it was in this game, regardless of the gender of the character. You can have a character be rude or abrasive and do it in a way that actually works, but this game handles it horribly. I completely agree with your last point, though. People just shouldn’t be rude to others. It shouldn’t be portrayed as cool or badass like it is in various forms of media.
I like Alex. He is a shithead and it's entertaining. I guess I'll like forspoken if it's as avangarde
@@blueflare3848 you're not wrong about it being skewed like that, but i also think the dynamic is more specific: "guy who acts like a jerk" characters tend to be better received when they have some sort of merit -- usually intelligence, like dr. house. alex had basically no merit; there was nothing witty, smart, or endearing about him
ive seen some reviewers speculate that alex is even the result of the devs lashing out at the player, portraying the very act of enjoying stories as fundamentally selfish and a moral failing. there's... an astonishing amount of evidence to support it. he's not just designed to be unlikeable; he's designed to be _insulting_
Literally an indie RPG that no ones heard of. What about Kratos from God of War? Mike Thorton from Alpha Protocol? Mike and Trevor from GTA5? Plenty of asshole male main characters get a pass from high profile games.
Well said
In the new Puss In Boots movies, Puss has more character development in 30 minutes than Frey does in 30 hours.
we need a moist meter for the new Puss in boots movie
The main story (Where there is any actual character development) is only maybe 10 hours at most if you take your time, good attempt at a useless correlation though
@@the-annoyinator name checks out
@@maallos334mi8 No shit??
@@the-annoyinatorit's crazy how little this changes their point
The saddest part of the game was the point where Freya's friend snaps on her and tells her off as the shitty human being she is--- it was literally the perfect opportunity for Freya to actually grow as a person and get some genuine character development, but the fact that she snapped back and said "I don't give a shit if this world burns" was just really sad to me.
It showed her character, which is absolutely horrible. There should be a 3rd ending where cuff just anhilates Frey, he’d put her out of her misery, because clearly she’s miserable
Freya is the vanir goddess
@@sir_vaughn2018 Lol that's so true he must still have GoW Ragnarok on the brain or something
@@oldpersonalaccount yea thats what got me it just suddenly switched to her wanting to save the day even tho nothing was learned
It also speaks volume on the character of the writers.
Either they are very bad people that thought being an selfish asshole is cool and relatable and doubling down on it when people directly tell you how your selfishness is hurting them is only making the character even COOLER.
Or, they are just bad at their job and thought it was some kind of clever subversion or something.
Whatever the reason is, they are just bad and need to never find a writing job ever again. Serving fries for a decade should teach them some humility.
It's kind of crazy how self-evident the creative differences that show up in this game are. Like many have said. It's almost like the writers didn't know the developers existed and vice versa
Writers were like woke “funny” dialogue, devs were like fuck earth
@I-ABUSE-ANIMALS-LMFAO what???
@@SisterCaliGal just downvote them and ignore them. they're bots and trolls.
Writers were American and devs were Japanese. Kinda explains the weirdness there. Well it did work out really well for Elden ring, so I dunno.
I can do the wrist band stuff
I genuinely love how much emphasis Charles has when talking about how horribly abrasive the main character is. I'm sick and tired of seeing a writers thoughts and emotions come through in almost everything we see. I'm already depressed and angry enough without having to listen to utterly abysmal, school level dialogue.
Just gonna say it’s utterly incredible how you wouldn’t think an author would portray their thoughts and ideals into something they create.
@@dfasdasasdasdasdd it's utterly incredible how you don't think authors can make a story without putting their ideals and thoughts and end up RUINING the story.
@@dfasdasasdasdasdd was just about to say this. It’s the author’s character and story they can do whatever they want with it
@@Aramanela I didn’t say anything about his opinion of the game first of all and just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean the story is ruined. An author literally has full rights to make whatever they want and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy/consume it. I’m sure there will be plenty of other people that will enjoy it.
@@dfasdasasdasdasdd "If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it."
First of all, done. Second, everybody already knows that, it's not worth stating. Third, people are allowed to criticize things, these happen to be well reasoned and legitimate criticisms. If writers write a bad character, people are gonna point out the bad, that's just how it works. Finally, writers do not need to project themselves into a character to write them well. Otherwise, every writer would only ever be able to write one character, with minor variations. If you think characters necessarily must be some form of a self insert, you're either not a writer, or a bad one.
Frey reminds me of this girl I knew growing up that turned every struggle into a competition.
"You think your day was bad? That's pathetic my day was way worse."
She feels like a choose your own story character where you get to pick the dialogue options, but she just keeps picking the most rude options possible at every turn, but the story still has to have her save everyone and be the good guy in the end so it just does a sudden 180 pretending there's been a character arch for all this change
As someone pointed out in other video, Forspoken feels like a game where you choose Dark Side decisions and still end up a Jedi.
Or a game where you choose Renegade options and still end up a Paragon
going full renegade run.
Dialogue option: Hello...
"Hello, fucker. I'm going to murder you and your whole family!"
Goes from being the most narcissistic arrogant bitch ever to an entirely different person in 5 minutes
Maybe my personality sucks but I find her thus-far incessant attitude kinda funny.
I like how Frey’s friend says “sorry to interrupt your self-pity party”
And Frey responds: Yeah, you should be!
An actual good response for the character, if they wanted someone who was actually funny and witty but a dickhead could be, "Thank you for the apology. Now, kindly, fuck off." *shoos them away*
The fact that i like every other side character who isn't frey says so much. Like can she not be an ass for 2 seconds? Audane literally saves u out of the tower yet she's so ungrateful for no apparent reason. And gawd every time she says "who even uses x word?" for the nth time. Just shut up.
👐"character writing" 🙌
“We are aware of our character being a whiny, self centred asshole, now love her or you’re racist”- writing team, probably.
"made for a modern audience" is all they need to say for us to expect such bullshit.
A good female protagonist I don't see mentioned often is Bayonetta from the series of the same name. She's very charming, witty, elegant, and yet has a lot of depth to her with her backstory and her parents, which is used very well. Also, she does go through a slight character arc in the first game, where she is basically all on her own spare for one or two allies, but over the course of the game learns to trust people, trust herself, and her new friends, and becomes very caring and protective of the people close to her. She's witty and has some funny dialouge but isn't constantly talking. She's quiet and serious when needed. It's not that hard to make a good female protagonist lol
Probably because her whole trope is her powers make her naked. You can’t really spin it as her having character progression when she’s designed to be sexualized.

@@katon.9893 Also the cuff is the bad guy
I seriously hate that argument about people hating female protagonists and I'm glad you tackled that Charlie. People don't hate Frey because she's a woman. People hate Frey because she's an asshole. She's unlikeable and insufferable. There's plenty of amazing female protagonists out there like Lara Croft, Samus Aran, Aloy, etc. Protagonists being female isn't the issue, the writing is.
Don't hate her because she's a female, hate her because she's a poc
Tales of the Abyss is a perfect story that has a protagonist that starts off insufferable but actually grows and becomes a good person, so much so that you are invested in the growth. Luke was an amazing character and is the best example writers could mimic and just forget that the growth of a character is very important.
Based Tales fan. That series does moral greyness so well.
I dunno I found Luke to be an insufferable self entitled jackass and then he became a self pitying suicidal jackass.
I mean he did develop and eventually get a grip by the end and stopped being an ass and a baby but both earlier variations of him were just so annoying and if it wasn't for the host of other great characters I don't think I would have enjoyed Abyss as much as I did.
That said I agree it's leaps and bounds above Forspoken even with my gripes.
Luke was likeable from the start. Makes me question if these complaints about Frey are geniune
Haseo from hack gu and Neku from twewy also works....
Luke is so annoying I also quit. I looked up if he got better and people said he did so stuck with it. Perfect way to do it.
Frey is the epitome of Hollywood's idea of a "strong independent woman"

Hearing you talk about unlikable protagonists reminds me of my first playthrough of Tales of the Abyss. I straight up hated how obnoxious the protagonist was at the beginning, but they had one of the strangest ways of making that makes sense and gave him a very well done redemption.
I think what happened is that they thought to write her like a tough New Yorker that grew up on the streets without any family. The problem is that she would be more stoic and hardened versus just a straight asshole, and the overall experience of a new reality would probably be welcoming to someone like that. From what I’ve seen this character would have absolutely no friends lol
Totally. Her behavior and backstory make no sense because if she told any of the gangsters to "shut the fuck up" like she tells Cuff 50 times she'd be dead by now.
Not really, they just think she is likeable like "Velma" or Starfire's daughter...
As a person that wants to like this game, I wish it never had a story because it clearly overshadows the game itself. It's nuts to think this game probably would've been far better received if they just never had a writing staff from the start.
see my banner for a cookie!
Shes a self insert of the writer. The writer is most assuredly a snarky asshole that believes being independent and strong means making shitty comments, jokes, and treating others like shit, while at the same time finding such actions as acceptable.

I haven't played it but the whole vibe of this game just looks like a 8 hour long "They fly now? They fly now"
What I find weird and a bit fascinating about the game is how it has a very American-created opening and main character, but the world's design and even the animations during cutscenes look so Japanese-made.
Cartoons: American writing, animation made in Korea.
Yeah it's normal most of the time.
like a worst kappa mikey
@@ea_naseer Or created/written in France, animated in Korea, dubbed in America. Happens with a surprising amount of cartoons, especially during the 80s and 90s.
The developer is the same one that made Final Fantasy, but idk which game it is. The same team.
Mix modern America with anything and it turns to crap
what makes Frey more insufrable is that she literally tries to out victimize the other girl, gets in bad terms with her and you never see her trying to make amends with her later on, or like she tries to apologize somehow, she just said "i dont care about your shitty world" and never tried to apologize for it.
I've heard women say they don't give a fuck about WW2. They don't care about one of the greatest conflicts in the history of man kind. Doesn't interest them. That's insane to me.

Hi
I like how forespoken had to constantly remind everyone about what was happening towards the ending because everyone playing wasn’t paying attention to the story
tbh it was kinda obvious where the story was going, in most Isekai stories where you get yeeted to a world you dont know, its for a reason. and it was obvious freys reason was because she got dumped onto earth in the first place. how did i guess that before seeing the ending? the cuff.. magical items dont just attach to people in a lot of stories, unless its owned through a bloodline. im pretty sure the game did what it did like you said because the devs probably already knew people could care less for the story, most came for the combat which is super mid, its like FFXV but worse.
yeah after watching his 50 min video on the game I've started skipping cutscenes since guess what, it was too easy to pick up that Frey is related to one of the Tantas and I hate that I was right so early on

I watched my buddy play the first couple hours and I literally said "the MCU has ruined dialogue". It's crazy how much recent media suffers from the writing staff being detached, like they do the bare minimum when it comes to the art of writing and what they do is all just... Bad.

I think they did a really good job portraying someone with borderline personality disorder getting magical powers
Wtf man why would you say that
@@LHZOZ777 It's true
They did a good job capturing someone who’s literally insane obtaining superpowers in a fantasy world
They somehow managed to give a talking bracelet more character development than the protagonist of the game
From what I’ve seen in clips and trailers about the protagonist, I feel like someone like that would actually quickly turn into a villain if given the kind of power that she has. It might’ve made it a more enjoyable game if they did that instead
If this had suddenly switched into a “character given too much power in a new world becomes the villain” type of story, it would have been soooo much better. Not sure how it could end, but it would have been interesting.
@Victoria Towns something tells me if that was the direction they went there would be a group of people calling the game racist for making a minority character a villain. But I agree it would have been a better story and potentially could have gone to tease a 2nd game where you are the biggest bad with even more power and a campaign to overrule the world. Pretty basic but still better than this dumpster fire
Going the Infamous route? That was fucking good
Her character is villainous in nature. I was rooting for the demon throughout the entire fight, like, her dying in the end should have been a legitimate ending.
@@jeffpulohanan9226 ayyyy Infamous is amazing
There’s so many better examples of strong female protagonists with actual struggles and developments over Frey. Amicia De Rune is a more recent one who genuinely goes through so much in the name of love for her brother and even occasionally loses herself to the violence, bloodlust, and horrible people in the world in a believable and well-written way.
“What should we name the game?”
“Well, the spoken dialogue felt a bit forced…”
“… I got it.”
For those curious about why the writing is so cringe.
The two main writers have never worked on videogames. One was primarily an actor, Todd Stashwick. The other was Allison Rymer whose main feat was writing for the god awful YA TV Show, "Shadowhunters."
If you're thinking Amy Hennig and Gary Whitta, they were only credited for Story Concept (specifically Story Concept, and Original Concept respectively). This means they most likely wrote a foundational roadmap/outline for how the story would play out and its setting. Amy and Gary's names also pop up after the montage part of the credits, whereas the former two were credited first AND during the montage. Kinda hints how much involvement the actual experienced and bigger named writers had with the content if I were to say anything about it.
Gary Whitta and especially Amy Hennig were effectively just big names for marketing despite not being the main writers. Similar to how George R.R. Martin states that he really just wrote the foundational lore/outline of the Elden Ring world while Miyazaki fleshed everything out. Yet, you saw George R.R. Martin plastered everywhere to almost sell the idea that he had a direct and constant hand in development.
Well that explains a lot. Thanks for that.
The only difference is that Miyazaki actually took the idea Martin introduced, and actually made something amazing. He probably just needed help on the different multiple contrasting factions through the game.
Here, they took nothing from the outline provided by Amy and Gary. Just as arrogant as their dumbass protagonist themself 😂
The game definitely had some good concepts, even if they were basic fantasy vibes but hiring an actor and a bad YA writer for the job was a terrible idea. This explanation makes perfect sense thank you.
Isn’t Shadowhunters pretty well liked? It has an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes which is really good.
@@zrixie7695 It's a YA book adaptation of "The Mortal Instruments." My ex-gf, who loved the books, convinced me to watch it with her. 1st Season is completely dog and you can check the ratings on that. She said it got a lot better, but that a lot of changes in direction were made that eventually caused her to drop the show entirely and never mention it again. From what I remember, the 1st Season caused a crap ton of ppl and fans alike to drop it. Which is why I doubt many have heard of it or even know it continued with 2 more seasons as I remember there were constant talks of it at risk of getting canceled while it was aired.
Either way, Allison Rymer only wrote 3 episodes from that show. She's still a complete newbie. So I'm unsure if the show is actually good or not cuz I was part of the crowd that got filtered out by S1. Doubly unsure if it's actually good because it could also be one of those shows where its ratings are inflated since it comes from a YA book series targeted at teen girls, i.e. an echo chamber. Which could mean the hardcore fans might be propping it up through a rose tinted lens while also being the only ones watching as again, S1 is an extremely effective filter.
Imagine if this was a big ploy, a set up for a sequel where Frey is the villain. The satisfaction of beating a character that you've hated since the beginning of the previous game would be excellent.
What a waste of a first game though. You could have written a villain protagonist story that's actually fun.
Like Light Yagami is a horrible person, but people actually like Death Note.
Good plan. But that's giving them too much credit.
@@shupasopni A lot of first games can be bad, Nier for example didn't have a great start
@@itizwhatitiz9560 Nier had a great story though, and was really just kinda mid and clunky as a game.
But you do have a point. One bad game out the gate wont necessarily sink a series. I'm just saying you don't even need to do the villain protag in a way that will make a stinker of a story.
@@itizwhatitiz9560 What are you talking about"? Nier was great. Granted my dumb 13-year-old brain didn't comprehend that story when I first played it but the story is great, a little bumpy but fun all around with some concerning effects it's had on me questioning my existence.
A protagonist doesn't need a redemption to be likeable, it need good writing. Some of my favorite protagonists are unrepentant monsters that do atrocious things for personal gain. I would hate for them to have a redemption arc, I want them to do unspeakable evil and then at the end I want them to crash and burn.
What games have you played that have that type of character?

Forspoken seems like the kind of game that if I played I would let Frey die intentionally due to how horrible she is as a person.
Saddie Addler in RDR2 is my favourite example of a strong female character who's actually well written. Her strength doesn't come at the expense of everyone around her
EXACTLY. Frey I absolutely fucking hate, but Saddie Addler? I would marry her... then again I don't think she would marry any other man again after the whole ordeal...
Her husband killed, her house burned, possibly raped by O'driscolls and then saved by the Van der Linde gang...Of course she's going to shift her perspective of life and crave her revenge. All RDR2 characters are greatly written.
R2-D2?
@@atomicfoxtoast647 Red Dead Redemption 2
Her revenge does come with some expense. She tended to have impulse problems which arose like 3 or 4 times through the game. One time specifically getting Arthur caught by an enemy.
She is also kind of a Mary Sue because out of nowhere she is able to shoot like a top gunslinger. I wish she had a tad bit more of development in the middle for everything they try to deliver with her.
I think this is one of the most generous moist meter scores.
ngl I expected lower
agreed
45% but really didn't enjoy anything about the game .. very generous. Still a more realistic score than media outlets saying its bad and giving it a 7/10 but ya this appears to be a 2.5/10 to me
@@LucidTurtle he said that there is stuff to like about this Game, It just he didn't have a fun time overall.

TF?
For real game had way more problems than the dialogue
The authors went to the "somehow Palpatine returned" - academy
Fray: I don't like this world and you should not too.
Me: Okay then. Thank for saving me 70/80 bucks
the dialogue is what a 40+ year old thinks gen-z sounds like. it's really telling
To be fair. Some Teenagers are moody, rebellious and try-hard to a point of Validation..... the fact that THIS character doesn't change at all after being thrown into a world of magic and fantasy and doesn't change from it. Isn't realistic at all.
Nah, the dialogue is what a 29 year-old former LiveJournal writer thinks the world is like.
And Frey isn’t even a teenager, she’s 20 in the game it tells us her age at the start.
Nah, it's what 20+ somethings want the character to sound like by living vicariously through the character.
I think a for- sure takeaway from this is that lots of gamers are adults in their 30s and 40s and we don't necessarily want to be in the shoes of snotty know-it all kids. There needs to be recognition in the games industry that the demographic for triple A games has matured and maybe the writing should as well.
Square Enix is that one childhood friend, who you used to had fun with and was a good person. Now, just wishing for them to make better decisions.
It's actually like that good friend that got into drugs or crime 😂 I'd put it down to all the old people that worked there don't anymore and this is what the current work force is capable of.
If I see Square Enix developed/published a game, I know to stay the fuck away from it
Square (since the merger with Enix) has always been a hit and miss studio
Great example is that DIRGE OF CERBERUS came out the same year as FF12 (my guilty pleasure and an underrated FF game imo) being 2006
FF7R was pretty great (had a bunch of flaws but still like an 8 imo) and given what we've seen of FF16, I'm pretty optimistic for it
Even their FF games lacking. Strangers of Paradise
@@hvyarms4496 granted I’m a very new ff fan compared to others but I think the recent ones were pretty decent. 16 looks pretty good too from what we’ve seen
This game is like telling someone the chicken their about to eat is good and they ask “really, what are the ingredients?” And you go on to say “a pinch of salt” but 10x
I always like to think of Luke from Tales of the Abyss as a good example of how to make an unlikable character develop into a very likable one over the course of the game.
Also Yoko from the Twelve Kingdoms anime is another really good example.
Makes me appreciate how crazy it is for 10/10 games to exist. Everyone has to be firing on all cylinders, design, art, gameplay, programming, music, writing, etc. Several of these teams can put in their all and do amazing and still have a game flop because another team completely misses the mark.
Lost judgement is 10/10
You also have to account for subjectivity. A game can be well made and nail it for a certain audience but it will miss for others. I know for sure that not everyone thinks GoW Ragnarok and Elden Ring are 10/10 games.
@@gman7497 let's be honest, people who don't agree on the FACT that ER and GOWR are solid 10 are mostly seeking attention while nit picking flaws, the perfect game or piece of media doesn't exists, but when you get close enough thats a 10/10
@@armoredsquirrel946 I know I haven't tried GOW:R yet and I know it will be good. I guess GOW level of good. Alas, Horizon Zero Dawn for example is a way perfect prequel rather than Forbidden West due to expectations that weren't met. (It's just an example, I'm not hating on the sequel)
@Armored Squirrel I played a ton of all 3 Dark Souls games and Bloodborne and I don't like Elden Ring. I really try every couple months but I don't. I'm happy for From Soft but Code Vein was a huge upgrade to the Souls formula. Elden Ring uses all of the same attacks for the same weapons we've been using in the Souls game for years without adding anything new and fresh to combat. The Ashes of War were cool so you could change the 1 ability your weapon gets but it feels like just a gimmick.
Then the open world and dungeons copy paste the same enemies over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. The world could have been significantly smaller and a much better game.
Just because a game is popular doesn't mean that those that don't like it are crazy or haters.
I tried really hard to like the 2018 GOW but I just didn't. Nothing about it was bad or even terrible. I'm never gonna say bad things about it except that it wasn't for me.
You see the same issue on Velma when it comes to writing. You have writers with terrible character who believe they have it all together and they write out of their own toxic awfulness.
basically, not even the makers watch it for their own enjoyment unless it feeds their own ego.
Yeah, it's showing not just a talent issue with modern writes but also a morality issue, especially when these characters are continually panned yet they keep making them

Great review, I also find it funny that people act like female-focused games don’t exist prior to the current one. You can look at Aloy from Horizon, Bayonetta or Senua from Hellblade to show that female-led games can be successful if they are handled properly. I give Square some points for not just giving us remakes but I think Western writers are doing a lot of damage to media as a whole and I hope more companies start taking notice.
You can see that all the time with these people. Every bit of media is 'the first x'
you reminded me, when horizon 2 came out, for TWO WEEKS all i was getting in online articles and gaming groups was guys complaining about Aloy having "facial hair" LMAO (aka the graphics being so good that you could see the slight barely visible facial peachy hair that humans have). I swear on god, more than two weeks of costant posts of guys saying that giving aloy "facial hair" was "feminist agenda", "woke culture" and "politically correctness ruining today's games" lmao
Both eastern and western developed games can have bad and grating writing. You sound like the kinda guy to say AtlA is overrated cause it isn’t technically anime.

I don’t know how there are still writers who think, “let’s write the main character so that everyone hates her” like did they actually think she will be popular?
Because most writers are men
They aren’t really doing this for actual fans of RPG’s or games as a whole, they could care less, kinda like how the Rings Of Power producers don’t give a damn about LOTR fans…sadly
Its like an unconscious attempt to generate a self-fulfilling prophecy. A lot of people in Hollywood try to push that no one likes female protagonists just because they are women, so they create horrible female characters so they can keep complaining about how people don't like them.
What are you talking about? She was so badass and didn't take shit from anyone. All girls wish to be like her smh people love to complain about female protagonists. (Satire)
ya gotta be black. which means always having an attitude and walk around like your entitled to the world bowing down to you
While I don’t want to add to the never ending hole of “HiFi Rush better then Forespoken” (actually wait a minute yes I do!), Chai is the perfect example of how to make a self-absorbed and deluded main character. He has natural kindness and bravery, giving him good traits, and whenever he’s too much in his head, other people either make fun of him, or he gets punished, and you as the player “face the consequences” by doing more level.
Meanwhile in forespoken, she’ll literally berate the cuff for something he didn’t do, and he just rolls with it. All the time too, which is why no one likes Frey, she’s not called out enough

"And then she tried to out-victim her" So she's a Twitter user?
Twitter user, SJW, Feminist what's the difference?
unlikeable or evil protagonists can work so beautifully when given any sense of growth, see Luke fon Fabre from Tales of The Abyss or even Zuko from Avatar, there was no reason for the writers to have done what they did to Frey's character
Never played Tales of the Abyss but Zuko changed over the course of like 3 seasons. That's why it felt good / believable. If they had actually made someone so angry and traumatized change so much over the course of the game's what, several days? It would have been an even worse game IMO. It's shitty and lazy, but her turnaround at the end kinda makes sense because they explained that the reason for her trauma wasn't what she thought it was.
How to properly develop a protagonist who is an asshole: Devil May Cry 3
How not to develop a protagonist who is an asshole:
"A lot of shows and games make their protagonist mean without giving them a redemption arc"
The issue is that you're not supposed to see that as the protagonist being mean. You're supposed to be on the protagonist's side. This comes from just a disconnect between the writers and actual human interaction.
I dont think the one Who write this is even human
The marketing people weren't the villains this time. In fact, they did their absolute best with what they had and possibly tried to warn us.
Imagine they make a second Forspoken where Frey is the villain and you have a new character, and this was a sort of part 1 where you had to experience what you wanna hate so that you had a good reason to hate it. I hope they do this cause then it would be a major W for this franchise. Also rework the combat, make it fill out it's potential with boundless amounts of enemies with different attacks, and make the story coherent in a sense that it moves on from arc to arc with a looming threat filling you with suspense as you move on in the game, for example the villain getting closer to your town of people you love and cherish or even an infection that spreads until you beat the villain like in Hollow knight, or maybe some sort of news paper that updates with events the villain has done and connect those events with random npcs that have a fleshed out side quest regarding that where you get to learn more about what Frey has been up to after Forspoken ended, and for gods sake make the new character what Frey was supposed to be, an unlikable character turned likable, or even something else like a desperate character in an apocalypse fortress like last man standing that was also transported there, and make Frey want to steal her abilities or essence or something like that, so that the characters have solid reason for conflict where the villain is directly involved with the main character.
All these modern writers read berserk once and were like well so many people like edgy black swords man/conviction guts but they didn't understand his character arc enough to know why everyone loves guts
What's crazy too is that at the end of the game you have a choice to pick two portals, either to stay in Athia and fight the final boss, or take a portal back home to NYC. If you choose the latter, it ends with LITERALLY a fifteen-second cutscene of you walking down the street with your cat. Like, that's it, lmao. Feels so half assed
Wow.. What a letdown.

You know it's serious when Charlie unloads his moistness on a game
I'm personally insulted as a woman that people seriously think Frey is an ideal "strong woman" character. It's really disturbing to me how the whole "girl boss" thing glorifies acting like an abusive, narcissistic bully as a form "empowerment". Like, maybe just because being caring and empathetic are stereotypically "feminine" traits doesn't mean that they're inherently holding back women and are maybe actually still good things? Just like how being outspoken and confident being stereotypically "masculine" doesn't mean that men should reject those traits or else they're being "toxic masculinity bros" or whatever? Maybe we should just stop gendering personality traits entirely and encourage the positive ones in *everyone* and discourage the negative ones in *everyone* also???
also, the argument that she acts that way because she's had a rough, traumatic life also massively pisses me off and just shows the writers have clearly never met a real person who has actually gone through that kind of struggle, as in my experience, people who had really unfair childhoods where they were mistreated actually grow up wanting to try and keep others from suffering like they did, they tend to actually be *more* sympathetic to other people's problems, and to value interpersonal relationships more because they realize how precious having a social support system actually is. This idea that struggle turns people into near-sociopaths who only care about themselves is such a stupid and fake trope.
Frey acts less like a person who has genuinely struggled and more like a entitled rich kid who LARPs as disadvantaged on the internet to manipulate others.
I am 10 hours into this game, just beat the first main boss, and Id like to know... How is she a bully and not caring/empathetic? Seems to me like she was friendly to pretty much everyone so far. Like when the lady in the intro dropped her phone, or when the kids asked about her phone. If she were always snarky or rude, as claimed in this video, wouldnt she just tell them to f off? Why did she act so empathetic towards the old guy with kinda-dementia? And what about the whole Olivia thing? Did she not care about her? Feels like people were playing a completely different game with the criticisms they make...
A rule that many modern writers fail to understand: Making your female character a sarcastic know it all doesn't make her likable in the slighest. It only makes her more annoying and unbearable to connect with.
And why do you believe the goal was to make her likable. Every game does the same likable troupe.
Even Sarcasm works if you write with a brain, I love Ellie in TLOS and she’s as sarcastic as you can get

Plague Tale is an example of an incredibly well written female protagonist. I really hate the “women bad” argument.
I feel like saying "female protagonist" or "male protagonist" is a problem in itself. A protagonist is just that, the main character. The gender shouldn't matter, the character should
I hate the term “female protagonists” as a game can always have a main character of any gender always, it’s about the writing, not about the woman
TLOU 2 has a female protagonist who you can even disagree with every decision she makes, and yet you still understand her and care about her. No protagonist needs to be perfect, but you need to at least understand them.
edit: and i wasn't even including the female antagonist in that game, who is ALSO understandable.

A Plague Tale was written by a French guy, they still do "old style" writing over there (where you actually have to earn the viewer's sympathy, not just demand it from the start). An American writer would have turned it into an undigestible borefest.
Honestly, the whole premise of putting the most unlikeable person in the planet on a fantasy world where they'll get a lot of character growth has many potential. Unfortunately, from what I've seen in this game, the character barely grows and is perpetually stuck in their initial stage right until the end

I find it fascinating that they go with the twitter version of strong and independent rather than actually being strong and independent
Yeah, she just seems pathetic and insecure, like twitter users.
There was a part in the game where I thought to myself. If they just committed to the character to be an unlikable jerk and made the dialogue funny, they actually may have had a good character and a potentially good arc for them. Particularly when she was having the "pity party". That could have been a moment where the protag becomes a little more self aware and owns that they are a prick.
I was hoping the she became the villain. Like the shitty character could’ve had purpose in the end. Imagine ending that world then final cutscene is her going home hinting at a sequel
That’s what I would’ve thought too. When the other character calls her out, it could have been a wake-up call for her. It could’ve been the point where she realizes how awful she has treated people and tries to change.
Godslap makes a good christmas gift? Damn Charlie you gotta update your own ad man lol.
8 hours is criminal for a $70 game
I like how the developers say the game will take 30 hours skipping everything and 70 hours with all the sidequests but then chad Charlie arrives and does it in 8.
Maybe the developers were game journalists and couldn't lower the difficulty to suit their skill level.
and that was on hard while doing some dungeons.
you could probably run through it in 5 hours without trying.
what's funny is that no glitch speedrun probably won't be that much faster either, since most of the time spent on this game has you waiting forcefully.
