This game makes me greatly appreciate silent protagonists.
This game makes me appreciate well-written characters.

Same!!
Yea Far Cry 5 is lovely
Jack from Bioshock comes to mind
I’m so sorry you went through this
Gollum makes this dlc look like a masterpiece though. Lol
Naw don't be he knew this was coming. Now I don't have to play the game.
@@hellomikie92stop lying lmao this dlc is way better than gollum. Y’all just trying so hard to nitpick everything about the dlc.
@@touka6589thats....what he said
@@touka6589 When you can't read
The writers had the chance to put some character developmente, but "DId I just do that?" is stronger than FUCKING GOOD WRITING
imagine going to an FPS "did i just do that? i just shot him, with my effing gun"
Urkel moment
@alexisleskinen9870Harem anime at least know it's place and takes fun in it, this series thought nonstop reddit humor would carry it through.
They are not the same
Yeah but that’s a lot HARDER, it’s a lot easier to just shit the same cliche shit out and hack out a cookie cutter character than actually bother to… you know… develop someone likeable
If they don't even care about their own story, why should we?
It feels like a joke at our expense
I, too, love to take prisoners... Give them magical powers... and then lock them up with no supervision.
Yeah like I was waiting for that to be explained somehow.
Like... "This wasn´t supposed to make you magical, must be some kindof super special person"
OR why tf even take her magic, if you gonna give her magic back in THE VERY NEXT SCENE
Sounds smart
@@goldxahn5247weirdly similar to destiny's hurt walk without the light 😂
I forgot this game exists.
I do not thank you for reminding me, Kev.
Brooo me too😭
Every time I see a rewieving video and he's talking about flops, when I hear "forspoken" I get reminded the "ah yes, the sh!t game" vibe
I am surprised it got DLC. Was there really an audience big enough to make an expansion profitable?
All Hail Jim
@@haruhirogrimgar6047It's less that they decided to make the DLC because of anything about the base game, and more that it was already basically finished before the base game even released - given that the developers were shoved to other departments of Square Enix within a month of release, it is fair to say that Forspoken was not a success and this DLC took very little additional effort to release.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 They had to make it because they were contractually obliged to because the DLC was a preorder bonus.
I feel like the game would be so SO SO much better if the dialogue was completely rewritten
"The game would be better if it was written better". I mean... yeah lmao.
@@samhain4287Do you believe dialogue is the only necessary component to a good game?
no the magic combat was badly designed and the story was just badly formulated You would need a new team that isnt git their heada uo their woke asses
@marchew4592 Obviously not, but most people focus on the poorly written dialogue when criticising Forspoken. I said it would be better, not good.
The visual aspects of this game are very well made. A shame that the visual design team’s talent was wasted because of the writers’ incompetence.
Imagine thinking that "Did I just do that?" was such an amazing line that you should put it in the game _and_ the DLC. I can already see the writer rubbing his hands in excitement, thinking "This is it. This is my own _'May the Force be with you'!_ People will be quoting it for ages!"
And technically he was right, but he probably didn't expect people to quote it ironically, just to mock it.
People have been quoting that since Steve Urkle.
But back then it was funny.
its already a famouse line stever urko would say all the time. it was his catch phrase
I read this as "see the writer rubbing his hands in excrement" which seems much more fitting, since this game in its entirety is a loosely held-together dung pie.
I like how this game is trying to make out that Frey is a hero now. ''If you won't save them I WILL!! No one fucks with Athia on MY WATCH!!''
Meanwhile in the main game: I will happily walk away and let children die.
Because now she finally has a stake in Athia since it's her home
Meaning, what she does is actually just out of her selfishness
She just changed for no reason after all the time she acted like a dick
I am glad I dont know what you are talking about.
@@HateshWarkio Truly an endearing protagonist. "This place is shit, and I couldn't care less if you all die a painful death
Wait, hold up. I was born here? Oh, shit! Now I give a damn about you!"
@@Iamgaming-zk9vw You didn't watch the original video then?
Forspoken: the game where we wish all words were Unspoken
Kev should go down in the video game history books as the gaming hero. He touches games, and dlcs, many of us wouldn't date touch with a ten foot poll. So thanks Kevin, for putting your sanity on the line for us. Who needs superman when we have Kev?
Amen
That explains the multiple choices games where he becomes a psychopath
@@angelamurao8273 It's his way to let it all out so he can continue loosing more sanity for us, truly a hero!
@@Euthreille fr tho. Cause he does touch a lot of games. And he makes them all entertaining
Not just his sanity, his money, too.
Forespoken really just feels like a parody game you'd watch people play in the GTA universe or something
Ii
Gta universe has better standards than this. Have you seen righteous slaughter 7? It's literally better.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 you've got a point, actually, maybe from that newest Saints Row then.
This is the EXACT vibe it gives off
When people play a game in some shitty tv show this is what they are playing lol
I can only imagine what would other games be like with the comments in every battle. Imagine you fighting hordes of draugrs in God of War, every axe hit him being like, "I got this"; "Freeze now"; "Eat this ice"; "Bullseye" Oh, what an utterly horrendous thought

It’s not that uncommon. Genshin Impact has it. So does Baldur’s Gate 3.
@@talynhastime9343 huh? Baldur's gate isn't fast paced like forspoken or gow, so you can't compare it, and in Genshin it's sounds not obnoxious commentaries
In Christopher Judge's voice? It might actually be enjoyable
@@talynhastime9343I think the difference is that Genshin was made for it since they say the things most times you activate an ability, they only have 2 so it's less important than the main character you're with all the time with lots of abilities.
And I think people complain about the idle animations happening all the time with the same sounds, they also complain about the game itself so I don't get your point
I always find it funny when dlc comes out for stuff NOBODY cares about. Like WHO is it for? Are they trying to recoup losses by dumping more money into it?
They can’t legally sell a season pass without inevitably dlc
they are trying not to get sued
@@Handlelesswithme makes sense. Seems counting chickens before they hatch though.
@@ironicugandan5826 I mean you could say the same thing about people that buy season passes
@@Handlelesswithme people who buy it right away maybe. But I'm one of those who buy it if I really like the game.

Just hearing the Protagonists first two lines makes me want to commit sudoku.

It makes me want to commit harakiri
Did you spell seppuku as sudoku on purpose?
Yes, get those numbers aligned.

8:31 The best voice acting of the entire game.
Man literally was screaming for his life in the recording booth before they killed them.
They actually just straight up murdered that man in the studio. All of the budget for this dlc went into cleaning up the booth, removing evidence and bribing the local police.
@kuronanestimare I actually think they probably used it for cleaning and the necromancer so he can be used in future projects.
He was screaming because he just found out he was in Forspoken.
@@JohnDoe-uf3lj he found out who and how bad the actors were. He was mortified
He was the gametester
This games dialogue is what i feel an open world Batman game would be like if you played Arnolds Mr.Freeze
"Ice to meet you" "Chill out" "Time to kick some ice" just on blast over n over
F in the chat for Kev, his sacrifice is not in vain.
Edit: god this game is just a culmination of lazy development and oversight.
F to his wallet

Wasn't the cuff secretly the bad guy of the main game? Why is he back now? I thought this took place after the main game.
Cuff was, for some reason, brought back in the end.
Somehow Cuff returned . . . .
@@bryanpineda2096 that's really dumb
I was about to ask the same thing
Guess the writters really liked the idea of Frey talking to Cuff, so they bringed him back or something
Maybe its his twin brother... Jeff, or something
@@sosaalexis48 Nah that's clearly Duff, cuff's cousin
20 bucks and you fought...3 dudes. Ya know, back in the day, when devs had you re-fight bosses, at least they had the decency to color them differently.
The best thing is, that at the end of the main story Kevduit abandoned the "saving Athia" quest and chose going back to NYC instead. So he basically never helped that world out but it is somehow saved anyway
Ahh Forspoken: The Forgotten. One of the games that nearly drove Kevduit insane. Actually it’s one of my favorite episodes on your channel because it made me laugh so hard lol 😂. I’m glad we have a sequel.
Keyword nearly.
Gollum so far is one of the few that succeeded in driving him insane lol
@@hellomikie92 It’s on the list lol 😂. Gollum, forspoken, Sonic Boom and Metal Gear Rising on The highest difficulty(seriously he couldn’t even beat the final boss in that one)
i understand being confused when you travel to a new land, but after spending a whole game in a clearly fantastical world, you gotta be used to it by the time the DLC comes around 😭😭😭
5:38 "I know where I’m goin, it’s pretty self explanatory." Phases through floor
Yeah game itself is rock bottom
Its wild to know that the voice actors put in more work than the writers
Underrated comment
That's not saying much
Kinda glad to see most people putting it on the writers and not the voice actors, because honestly... the voice actors did _fine_ considering what they had to work with.
You can only act as well as the writing let's you, I'd say they did a great job with what they were given
DiD I jUsT Do ThAt???
Its so sad that they thought that "Did I just did that?" is so iconic that they used it again. Also funny how character with teleporting power wont use it whan it matters. It always makes so many unimportent momments in game.
They think that line is legendary lmao lol rofl xd :) :D
I cried out in pain at that part. Why do they like to make us suffer?
@@Alexacz2 why are we still here? Just to suffer?
Forspoken is an unfortunate example of a good concept being buried under awful implementation. Hopefully someday another studio is inspired by the mix of parkour, combat, and free roam using magic.
Literally infamous 1,2 and second son.
@@Needler13exactly
@@Needler13I was about to say that lol.
You mean prototype 1 and 2?
@@Needler13I don’t remember those games having magic
This game makes me recognize I owe Bethesda an apology for saying Fallout 4 had bad writing. I now have perspective.
f4 had bad writing, its just that forspoken has worse.
@@guiguito5505 Yup, you can say that again.
@@constantinechase9382 Comparing shit to shit doesn't make other shit any better
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 no, but it does help give perspective as to how bad something really is. There is absolutely a scale as to how crappy something might be.
F4 had writing? I couldn't know that since the game was fun with mods.
Not gonna lie. I had no idea there was supposed to be DLC for this game
Same as me. Why it even got that?
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441It's probably in their contract? I guess?
I literally didn't even know this DLC existed until now. But at least Kevduit beat it so I can finally erase this game from my memory again lol
The biggest problem I had with forspoken was the way the game constantly interrupted the action with cut scenes every five minutes
The biggest problem I had with forspoken is character spoke and that it exists.
where did the made up character touch you? lmao@@IskenderCaglarM41B441
"Can I pass, what has already come to change?" is an infinitely better line than anything else I've heard in this game so far lol.
This game is such a sad loss. It had so much promise, and definitely has some good points. But the bad points are just so extreme that it tanks everything around them.
5 minutes in and I am already confused by the story. Frey quantum leaped, that I get, then Albus Birdman stabs her in the hand with the thingie, gives her magic powers, then hauls her off to the dungeon? Why give her magic if you are just going to lock her up? Isit because the game devs could not think of anything else?
As someone who unfortunately went in-depth into Forspoken, I can help you out.
So he marks Frey (as Thalia) as a vessel to offer the weird tree in the hopes that he can offer it enough energy from the life force of the townspeople and soldiers trapped inside to usher the rebirth of Sus Rust.
If the mark does not acquire enough energy within a day, they will explode, effectively nuking their surroundings.
It's a lose-lose for the vessel marked anyways.
But it seems like he wasnt planning on having Thalia escape and was going to just kill the townspeople and maybe his own soldiers for the cause.
He just happened to get lucky having Cinta teleport in and for both her and Thalia to kill every solider and beast around for it to work, I guess.
@@HalfBrainGamers Wow that's actually so bad and poorly executed, jeez
@@PixelHeroViish it's a really bad DLC, man lol
The summary is Frey is trying to dispel or push back the stagnant Break, and hears a voice leading her to a flashback monument that is supposed to help her save Athia, assumedly learning how to get rid of the Break.
But despite being told she will learn more about it by living through the past, she ultimately learns nothing significant about it and is guided towards Rheddah by a Tanta living there for sequel bait. (apparently there are Tantas in Rheddah too, that can use Athian monuments, don't think about it.)
@@HalfBrainGamers What a shame, they really should've had the significance of Rheddah and Sussurus' effect as a walking nuclear bomb explored properly in the base game
The dialogue genuinely sounds like a first script read. These people have never seen these words written down before.
Also, I like how the setup is about how this takes place long in the past but the world and characters are functionally exactly the same as the base game and the time skip makes basically no difference.
Ah, I remember everyone blanking out at times, Kev yawning as he was trying to stay awake with playing this DLC and Kev's outrage at spending his 20 bucks on a DLC that supposedly promised 3 hours of content, but ended in roughly under 2 and a half.
Those developers REALLY jumped the gun in giving this game DLC. Seriously, wasn't even aware this game had DLC until today.
So the post-game for Forspoken has Frey try and figure out how to learn more about the Break in an effort to stop it. For some reason, she thinks going to do a Boss Rush will give her more information. But ends up back at square one, meaning it was a poor excuse.
So the DLC promises Frey will learn more about the Break and how to stop it. Only for that to fall flat and for Frey to learn nothing tangible that would be effective in clearing the Break.
And then the end of the DLC teases that Frey will learn more about how to clear the Break by going to Reddah (which wont happen lol)
So they tease this information and keep pushing the answers back only to be stopped because they definitely wont make a Forapoken 2 now.
Great stuff.
4:39 i love the detail of pushing the right side and left also opens
Fun fact, as of this post steam forspoken has 91 players and an all time high of 114 this week. As a fun comparison, portal, a game released 16 years ago has 770 and a weekly peak of 1132
I m more amazed that there are still 100 people playing this.
My best guest is bots paid by the devs 😅
@@etienne8110 or youtubers and streamers playing a bad game for content
Xbox had Red Fall PlayStation had FORSPOKEN.
yeah, that Gollem expansion looks exactly like i was expecting it to, thanks for the heads up Kev
he died for our sins
on another note - Can we get a mod for this game that has Fey just saying internet lingo, like "Omegalul", "Poggers" and "PeppeLaugh" outloud during combat
"Roflcopter"
love how all the guards sound like they recorded their lines in a cupboard
Kevduit is officially the biggest (and only) fan of Forspoken
he WILL play every single piece of content this game has
Literally read that as “I beat the forskin DLC for you” 🤣💀
I remember when they started showing bits of the game and parkour (no dialogs yet) and I was so hopeful it would be an awesome game...
it really hurts because i am in love with the aesthetic of this game and the character designs are so well done but they apparently forgot to hire writers not once, but twice
I would never expect Jerma be the final boss of forspoken
There is a fine balance when it comes to making your protagonist speak. You can go the Forespoken route and make them talk constantly and give them some background, but they are super unlikable and never shut up.
Or you can go the same way as Far Cry 4 with Ajay Gale. You speak sometimes but there really isnt anything there. You have some personality, not much, and some backstory but you are mostly a plank of wood.
Then you have Far Cry 5 where the main character could just be a statue. They dont speak and have no personality or backstory. They are just there with a 5 minute cutscene to try and explain why.
Finally, you hage Red Dead Redemption or any Rockstar game really. Your character can be charismatic and likeable or an asshole based on YOUR choice. They have very fleshed out backgrounds and are extremely likeable.
Make your choice
Absolute hero for doing this so no one else ever has to
You have done the internet and the world at large a great service.
We all salute you for your service, Mr. Kevduit.
Forsaken Devs be like: Edgy sarcastic and excessive swearing teen = best main character
It's a good thing you didn't speak to Cuff because from those little in-between dialogs alone you can see he's got brain damage from being forced to listen to Fray for two weeks straight. He doesn't need more of it.
A small part of me hoped that the writers would've improved based on the negative feedback from the initial launch, but the contrived use of "did I just do that?" followed by "where have I heard that before?" completely burned those hopes into ashes.
This dlc went completely under the radar for a good reason
I think most people forgot about this Trainwreck of a game. I don't know what the deal is of today's writers where they create unlikable characters that are also so annoying and completely unsalvageable. Unlikable characters aren't inhertily bad, at least good versions of that trope are entertaining. This one isn't.
It was an okey DLC in terms of gameplay and good in the artistic part, but the story is like, why even bother?
If Sonic Frontiers' next update is as big as this one: I will laugh because it's free and I'm sure it will be better written
"Mum, do the thing" - the Dlc in a nutshell
It's always a treat when kev uploads a new video
Kev! You should check out Asuras wrath. It's such a underrated experience. I wouldn't say it's a "Game" it's more like a movie with interactive spots.
I loved it... Until I found out that the real ending was behind a paywall
@@vaasmontenegro9308 yeah. Capcom got a massive amount of hate for that.
@@ironicugandan5826 And they deserve all of it. Locking a great games stellar proper ending off like that.
You're a goddamn hero
I appreciate you playing this so none of us have to... but on the other hand, I'd have been perfectly content to not even know about it
17:05 "This is far from over yet!"
*Boss dies immediately after*
Forspoken in a nutshell:
- Ugly and unlikable characters
- Shitty Writing
- Fun Traversal
- Brain dead Combat
- Wasted Potential for a game with good visual effects
- DLC combat has the same gameplay with reskinned magic and nerfed moveset
I do love the idea of the Tattoo Artist just being Ulfric running around
It's a brave creative decision to make enemies sound like Bob from accounts cold reading lines into a bucket.
You deserve recognition for this video. It’s like watching some kind of mad man delve into the abyss that none dare touch.
Hey Kevduit,
Thanks for playing this .....thing.I was wandering if you would play Rango: the video game. It's one of the better adaptations of a movie (it happens after the events of Rango).It's so weird and was made by EA and behavior. Would love to see you play it.
Feels kinda like a rip off of Qauntum Leap with the whole "leaping into another person's body in the past, and then looking into a reflecting surface to see a different face" thing. All that's missing is an "Oh boy."
9:33
"Yeah guys, let's just use the Raise SFX from FFXIV, no one will notice."
Me, a DRG: Haha, you are wrong.
Just remember, there are people out there that think Forspoken is the best game ever made and have played it on repeat. I am not one of them, but there are folk like that.
He turned into Seath the Scaless. Funniest shit I ever seen.
HE IS SCALESSRICK
i really think the protag not constantly making quips would've helped, like make them actually express another emotion except for "smug" and "aaaaahhha" would've been nice
wait isn't cuf a world destroying demon? one she enslaved to her will?
why isn't the mc acting like it
101 reasons to like gordon freeman
You have done a great service for the gaming community so no one else has to suffer.
I didn’t even know there was a dlc of this game goodness. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Never let sweet baby touch anything you’re working on…
Every day, Kev sacrifices his sanity further for our entertainment
Thanks for the video Kev. It always makes my day seeing you suffer. 🤗
I got second hand embarrassment watching this dumpster fire.
The first video I watched of yours was your Forspoken video and I've watched most of them after lol. Nice to see us come full circle this way.
If you ever feel like you have bad taste. I’d like to remind all of you there’s a whole subreddit for this game where they go “I actually dont know why people dislike this game, its pretty good” every other weekend.
I only now realized, for example, in infamous 2 cole is silent when you're fighting, unless he's literally talkign to someone, other than that he doesnt say one liners, making him a better character
So Forspoken not only had a DLC but a sequel was planned as well
Shame, we won't have anything to refund anymore
I love how she only push one half of the door but both side moveing the same time. Truly magical.
ngl this has to be the first game that i quit while playing in 15-20 min at the start of the game and it made me appreciate well written character with well written diolouge
The fact they had to have seen the feedback and everything and STILL followed through on dlc. Mind blowing
Now I wanna see Kev beat Forspoken without talking! I dont mean Kev talking, I mean Frey talking. I've heard it's impossible.
Imagine finishing the main game, releasing it to a wet fart of reception only to be told you need to sit down and do it all over again.
you are a god for enduring this much..
They missed a huge opportunity!
When Frey asks her mom: "Did you ever think about starting a family?" Her mom should've been like: "Having met you, my oath of celibacy has never been more intact."
Really love how the finally boss fight is just an extremely poorly done Monster Hunter fight, nothing like wishing you were playing a better game while suffering through one
Ngl I was super excited about this when it launched, didn't buy it right away and I'm so glad I saved the time and money.
Always assume new games will be bad, never disappointed anymore. I know, its cynical, but hey, money saved.
“how much do you weight?” was my favorite hahaha
Such a trooper to sacrifice part of your life just to play DLC. Godspeed you gremlin
Imagine how much better the game would be if the in-combat dialogue was Spider-Man levels of personally shit-talking the enemy.
Hmmmmmmmm...nah still shit.
Still wouldn't work cause most enemies are animals and zombies with no attachment to the character, Spiderman workas cause those viians have some view/attachment towards him
@@demonfoxnaruto95 I mean, yeah, it would require a lot more work than just rewriting dialogue, but I think we all would appreciate if they had to actually put in an effort to make characters and then write actually useful dialogue.
6:10 the gamers yearn for the mines
The combat commentary really is taxing.
Everytime Kevin says “Mother” I can’t help but think of Principal Skinner from the Simpsons 😂
Didn't even know this was a thing I thought the game company was shut down
