      This is a great showcase of the game! The game has its downsides but the gameplay is hella fun, flashy, and cool.
      If anyone wants to argue against that, then they better send a link to a gameplay that has:
      - magic
      - multiple elements
      - magic combos
      - fast dodgy gameplay (not a standing long casting mage)
      - flashy and cool

      Twitter? Why would you base your opinion of a game from some clip on twitter? There are plenty of promotional material and in depth previews available on youtube for at least 7 months now. Granted, they could've been more aggressive with the marketing. But all the info was there, and wasn't hard to find. Sure, you had to navigate through the "dIaLoGuE Is CrEngy and It'S WoKe tRash" content creators first, but it was there. THEN you would've been able to form your own opinion. A lot of what is shown in this video has been shown months ago.

      The combat is very deep and abilities are all quite unique. Putting together combos using abilities from different elements is fun and quite satisfying. This isn't the type of game where you're going to get Dark Souls/Elden Ring level difficulty where memorizing attack patterns is paramount and that's okay. The game isn't Elden Ring and doesn't try to be. It's much too fast paced for that anyway.

      An engine can keep improving and become up to date as long as you allocate resources for it. It is not that engine can't keep up but the staff having hsrd time on it. One thing i wanna note though, the game looks gorgeous if we consider some aspects. But it fails to deliver in others.

Although some of the more general things could use a little work, especially when you're in safe areas, when you're in open world it's really good. The fight mechanics are really good and a bit different to others. Purposefully tried to stay away from build guides until Id got a bit further in but it's pretty obvious most reviewers have not didn't any time actually learning the game. I'm having immense fun binding groups and then destroying them with flaming death (weird how no matter what game you play.... nothing seems to like being set on fire....lol).

    The more I hear about Forspoken, the more I compare it to FFXV and its release.
    Other than optimization and performance issues, the big comparison really comes to the combat. Most people chalk up XV's combat as "hold the attack button to win", but there's so many combat mechanics baked into the game like directional attacks and airstepping that makes it so much more fun than people make it out to be, which really just stems from the fact that both people are bad at experimenting and the game poorly explaining and not elaborating on mechanics.
    I see the exact same thing with Forspoken where reviewers don't really understand the combat well thanks to the lack of explanation, where just acknowledging how different moves work could make a ton of difference

    I think that group think is a severe problem for the gaming/game reviewer community. I even see comments being made after the reviewers words. I only saw reviews that showed how bad the game is & to avoid the game. Now I see this and it looks DOPE! Sure, the reviewers’ points on the story/writing may be valid to an extent, but the combat man, damn… 👍🏼
