Square Enix’s next big action-RPG Forspoken launched this week, and has done so on PC to an extremely mixed reception. It may just be the January void, but the game has sparked a great deal of discussion about everything from the tone to how the publisher distributed (or didn’t) review code to outlets: PC Gamer’s review remains a work-in-progress.

اما یک چیز را می توانم به شما بگویم: Forspoken سیستم مورد نیاز مضحکی دارد (در برگه جدید باز می شود), and the PC version doesn’t appear to be justifying them. The Steam reviews for the title are extremely mixed and, while some are just moaning about the talking bracelet (really), many are annoyed by the state the game’s launched in. Currently around 55% of the total reviews for the title are negative.

An “unoptimized mess” هاستور می گوید (در برگه جدید باز می شود), who’s rocking an RTX 4080 and also reckons the visuals have been downgraded from the hype trailers just because of those pesky consoles. They’re not the only one to complain about this apparent visual mismatch, it’s a theme across multiple reviews: “Inaccurate graphics,” says YoutubeMajed, “nothing like the trailer”.

Some reviews do get a bit existential about it. “You could tell they even voice acted the cat,” Shiba.gif می گوید (در برگه جدید باز می شود),.”Why would you voice act a cat’s meow? If you even look at a moving object it will drop your fps by a large quantity but in a still setting it will be completely fine. I recommend having next year’s GPU [because] the 40 series ain’t cutting it.”

I mean, if this isn’t running well on such GPUs then that suggests some pretty fundamental issues. “Literally unplayable on a RTX 3070 on 1440p,” بیچاره فینیکس ناله می کند (در برگه جدید باز می شود), “the textures won’t even load since the game uses a [bleep]ton of VRAM to work”. Another user simply calls it “شهر لکنت (در برگه جدید باز می شود)".

“There might be a memory leak,” دارث_وپور را تئوری می کند (در برگه جدید باز می شود). “The longer I play the game the more it frame stutters and eventually it crashes. I run a watercooled 3080 12gb with 64gb ram on an I9 processor, that I built myself. So no, it’s not my hardware. So I don’t even get to find out what the first major boss is like!”

Certain negative reviews are more about the game’s content, obviously a subjective call, but even those who enjoy its characters and world are saying the current state of the game is getting in the way of recommending it: “textures are blurry, massive stuttering in the city and grainy/hazy/blurry models are a huge problem,” می گوید OnlyMyGameRules (در برگه جدید باز می شود). “I feel like waiting to see if [developer] Luminous can solve performance issues and bring down requirements before buying is the right decision, at least on PC.”

آن کاربر همچنین می‌گوید که پس از یک خطای تصادف آزاردهنده، بازی را متوقف کرده‌اند و به نظر می‌رسد که خرابی‌ها در سراسر صفحه اتفاق می‌افتند. بیچاره کالی پیر اینجاست در یک ساعت 13 تصادف داشت (در برگه جدید باز می شود)

And it does feel extraordinary that a publisher the size of Square Enix is launching a title like this, at a premium price point, in such a bad state on PC. Let’s not forget that some of these negative reviews may come across as being a little mean, but the writers have paid $70 of their own money for the privilege (“Note to self”, آیو می نویسد (در برگه جدید باز می شود), presumably not the Hitman developer, “don’t buy Square Enix games from now on.”)

Thing is, this is becoming expected from this publisher. Speculation about its allocation of review code for Forspoken was about the game’s quality or otherwise, but it may well be that it was less about what the game is than the state it’s had to launch in: and as several high-profile examples have shown, it can be incredibly hard to recover from that bad first impression, especially on a platform where users can get a refund within the first couple of hours.

Or as one Steam user puts it, “I like speedrunning,” SchfiftyFive می نویسد (در برگه جدید باز می شود), “and my favorite category of this game is refund.”

استقبال کلی از بازی، خارج از مسائل مربوط به عملکرد، کاملاً متفاوت است. قطعاً در میان نقدها واکنش‌های مثبتی وجود دارد، و برخی مسیر عجیب‌تری را که ناشر با این یکی در پیش گرفته است (بدون هر گونه مسائل اجرایی) دوست دارند. با این حال، متأسفانه، بسیاری دیگر فکر می کنند که وقتی از گفتمان عبور کردید، it’s just pretty average (در برگه جدید باز می شود).
