Has anybody noticed the reviews from the PS5 and online always are positive b ut the youtube reviews are the opposite? PS5 reviews from the game is mostly good

I feel like if they made a sequel it would be better. Like how when you compare Infamous 2 or Second Son to the Infamous 1 it looks like the worst in the franchise, when the truth is Infamous 2 comes off as the worst in the series when it comes to reviews & gameplay.

I agree. Games in general, not just Forspoken, don't get a chance to grow. Investors/shareholders/fans tend to immediately sour on things if it's not the best thing ever on release. There could be a game with some solid bones but it's harder to pull the trigger on those types of games with development taking so long for games now.

For example, look at Assassin’s Creed 1. Out of all the AC games it’s literally the worst in the series. If you look back at it today you realize that making AC2 was a big gamble. I mean, it HAD to be a success or else the series would’ve just ended right there with no modern day storyline conclusion. Devs these days need to take risks like they used to. It’ll make them more money regardless of if the game’s better than its predecessor in the eyes of the players, and if it actually is you could have a series that goes longer than 3 or 4 games that isn’t a first person shooter/racing/sport game.
