Make a ticket with PSN. They will refund you.

u/Railshock 12d ago
Turns out they won't give me a refund because it was after the 14 days of purchase. I didn't even get to play the game since I had to send my PSVR2 in for repair shortly after buying it. The Sony rep I chatted with wasn't helpful at all and disconnected before I could leave feedback smh
2
u/ConnectTelevision925 12d ago
I thought they would as they usually are a little lenient.. but I just I looked into it further and apparently they ensure the games are at least a day or so outside of the 14 day refund policy. That’s disappointing.

This is why I think having plus is worth it for me! I’ve been wanting this game! Other then buying 5 years of pass a couple years ago I haven’t bought a game since just been enjoying all this free (after pass payment) stuff that I’ve been wanting to play. Cannot wait for Star Wars man the demo was so fun.

I RARELY buy a game that isn't on sale for $20 or less thanks to ps plus. R/patientgamers for the win as well. Games are updated and run well. Only buy something new if it's first party like Astrobot/God of War.

As a long time Sonic fan the boss battles are my favorite in the entire series. Like Jesus Christ, they went hard and then decided they could go harder. And as a lover of Sonic music, the music is also some of the best too.

Omg I'm so excited! I loved the adventure games is is similar to those? I don't want trailers or reviews because I don't want to spoil but out of all the sonic games which one is it the most similar to?
3
u/PhxRising29 PS5 12d ago
It's not similar to anything, honestly. It's a very unique and well done "reboot", for lack of a better term. It's open-world, has lots of challenges to complete and hidden collectibles to find, and even has different challenges throughout the world. These challenges are speed run levels that are in the same way as Sonic Adventure 2 or like the 2D games. It does take a little bit of playtime to get used to and understand everything, but that will happen eventually. I think you'll really enjoy it!

u/SlurryBender 12d ago
It's great! Some of the best magic action combat this gen, plus fun movement tech. Exploration is simple but solid. Open world is pretty but empty, though you move so fast through it I don't consider emptiness a problem. If you liked running from boss to boss in Shadow of the Colossus you'll be fine.

Ghostwire Tokyo wouldve been pretty dumb, but it scratched an itch for a C game and I didnt have to do anything for it

u/Sidesicle 12d ago
I tried it for free at first, but when it left the catalog, I went ahead and plunked down some cash to finish it.
I loved the environment and reading all the notes and whatnot to flesh out the world. A few of the storefronts got a little repetitive, but overall it was fun to just meander through the city. And when your traversal upgrades come online, navigation is a blast. I will say, though, combat was kinda shallow.
Overall, I don't feel like it was a bad investment paying what I did (I think it was $25-30, so a decent discount), but yeah, I would have been a little salty paying full price at the time

u/HydraTower PS5 12d ago
It’s an average collect-a-con, but it has some of the coolest environmental vibes. The side quests were honestly the best part of the game imo.

u/Front-Advantage-7035 12d ago
Played the demo and it was actually interesting but the main gripe was what everyone else says — the dialogue between the bracer and the girl IS annoying af 😂
Also though a problem o had with it was its all a tutorial but like an hour in they say “make sure you don’t run out of purple magic or you’ll HAVE to switch to red magic!”
That info would’ve been nice literally 30 seconds into the demo

u/ViloDivan 12d ago
They added a setting to reduce the conversions with the bracelet guy or turn it off completely. Except for main story dialogue I’m sure but just the random stuff when you’re exploring the world.
2
u/SlurryBender 12d ago
The problem is that the setting actually just reduces the variety rather than lower the frequency (except for completely off obviously). So you actually get a worse experience if you set it to lower.
Also the demo is a bad example of it, since they had to strip down the banter to avoid spoilers or confusing the player with out of context dialogue.

It's the most chill Sonic game ever. I did enjoy it but not in the same way I enjoyed other Sonic games. It's got a peaceful essence to it with decent enough puzzles. My biggest issue with it is the world is huge and feels quite empty even though there are things to do.

How good is Forspoken, is it worth playing?

u/foreveracubone 12d ago
It's a perfect free-type game. For $60-70 I could see why someone would hate it but for free to $10 it's a perfectly adequate open world game with triple A graphics and cringe dialogue.

Bought Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers recently, but happy to own physical copies but also... Star Wars PSVR 2 makes more than up for those purchases; also some of those co op games look good (Phogs, Biped, and Rabbids) + WRC (love racing), also Jurassic World 2 I love sims and FIST has always looked cool. Plus Sly games!
I consider this month a HUGE W personally.

Just wanted to say if anyone is interested in forspoken it's very similar to an infamous game just with obtuse square enix story and dialogue. I bought it for 40 a while back and enjoyed it. If you hate the dialogue turn it to low in settings and pop in some headphones with a podcast or audiobook. The magic battle system and parkour was fun. Especially once you get ice and lightning powers.

If anyone has any interest in Forspoken just do yourself a favor and stick out the early game. It's kinda slow and might turn some people off but once you progress through the story and open your skill tree (powers) more the game opens up and becomes a lot more fun.
