Yeah, I guess this is something I do now

When we last leftForspoken,the jury was still out on it, and it wasdelayed into 2023. I’m cautiously optimistic for some parts of it. But now it’s time forForspoken‘s quippy dialogue to really face the music.

A lot of prospective fans have been waffling on the dialogue since it was announced, which can definitely teeter into the realm of overly-edgy.A new tweet this week from Square Enix, which showcased some gameplay and reminded us of the January 2023 release date, didn’t instill much confidence that things have improved.

Forspoken’s quippy dialogue

Alright, so here’s the officialForspokentweet:

It’s essentially a 2022 version of “record scratch: so you’re probably wondering how I got myself into this situation,” right? While the narrative can still deliver, I’m not sure I can stand to listen to the constant quips. And this is before the game is out!
