The combat looks fun. I’ll admit, one of the issues I’m having is that the environments look a bit bland. Youtube compression probably doing a number on the colour grading. TW3 videos on YT don't look great, either. I'm more concerned about having to slay multitudes of demon-Bambi's, if this video is anything to go by.

Of course it's "purple" no one uses brown!!!!! Chaotic as in no idea what I am doing and just running around like a mad man is how I'll be playing. I thought they might use green. You know - Captain Planet shout-out.

After all all the animals are attacking Frey which is why she needs to stay on the move. At leas tthat's how I'm seeing it. I've never played anything like this either but it definitely looks and sounds interesting.

That too most likely as DAI is pretty vibrant when playing it personally but watching it online som eof the colours do look a little off.

Kittah! Oh man...of course her phone survived the trip to Athia. Must be a Samsung Looks like quite a few 'hol' up a minute' things. I'm sure the 'Chase the striped cat' quest is a way to familiarise ourselves with the city, but...maybe not the best choice to include with the narration line of 'people in desperate need of Frey's help'...

I don't actually recall - I try to block out the Asgard stuff - but that would be a nice touch if you're right.

There's a quest early on called "Freya's Friend" where you talk to a cat and it's the cat you get that goes on your long ship.

Mostly because I'm thinking moer about Midnight Suns atm given that's the next ga ecoming that I'm after having got Gotham Knights back in October as Midnight Suns comes out on Friday. I think the gameplay is going to be fun I think the mixed reviews are more coming from people who are worried about the story and the way the protagonist has been bvoice acted. Personally though I feel the VA stuff is spot on as she is kind of in a fish out of water scenario in that she doesn' tkno wanything about this world and is also not familar wi ththe powers she has and how she ended up with them. So I don't really have a problem with it.

Well if there is a demo it will be nice to give it a try before it drops to test the difficulty and all that. Especially as not many games do that these days. I'm hoping difficulty wise it's notttoo punishing and is relatively accessible but we'll see.

I played the Forspoken demo on the ps5. It looks good. The combat was.....something I would have to get use to. A couple of annoyances, at least for me. The main character and some male voice have smarta**/sarcastic comments all the time even during combat. The other is each encounter with an enemy I was graded. It seems the more style points you get the higher the grade. I will not get the game anytime soon. I might when the price has dropped.

Yeah I wanted t otry the demo but unfortuinately it's not available on PC. I'm still looking forwaqrd to playing it though not sure exactly when. Mainly depends on how things go with Midnight Suns as I can see myself squeezing at least another playthrough or 2 out of that befoer I consider uninstalling it and also depends on the DLC too as I don't know when that releases. The ydid say early 2023 but nothing moer specific than that bgut I do know there's at least 4 of them and what they are.

So I tried the demo yesterday - oy!! The constant chatter was super annoying , the miniscule font made me squint , and the frenetic gameplay almost gave me a seizure (or given my age, almost a stroke!) The story seems interesting and the graphics look nice but I was sorely disappointed in the demo. I will try it again but it looks like this one may be off my list. I thought this game would be my first PS5 game purchase but perhaps not

I thought this game would be my first PS5 game purchase but perhaps not Yeah I'll admit after the more recent reveals I'm not as excited for it as I was. I'm stil going to get the game as it still looks good but I'll admit I'm not as keen on it as I was. Mainly because there are some things tha td oworry me a bit about it. I haven't tried th edemo s ocaqn't comment too much. Had the demo been on PC I might have tried it but it looks like us PC players have to wai tfo rthe full release. Still I've found Midnight Suns a lot more fun than I thought it might be so I think I've gotten my money's worth there even without Forspoken. So the winter games this year haven't been a total loss.

I tried the demo but have to say I'm not finding the combat very enjoyable. With all the huge games hitting this year, this may well be one for the back burner...
