Dragon Age: The Veilguard - A woke disaster? Yep!

[Weltraumfürst]

So by the way, I can identify as a tranny, but I don't get the option to kill myself? That's 10/10 roleplaying right there.

if this game ends up being a major commercial success, buckle up, we will never hear the end of it.

I have a small amount of faith that normies will see past the fake ass positive reviews and not buy the game. But at the same time I can still see it selling well enough for gaming journos to be smug about it.

Hopefully this will inevitably end the same way the Saints Row reboot did, the company going under and hopefully some troons offing themselves in the aftermath.

As satisfying as it'd be I doubt this will happen. Saints Row wasn't just a bad game conceptually, it was also fundamentally broken on launch, and by the time they patched it what few people gave it a chance had already moved on. Despite all its alleged flaws DA:V at least seems functional, and it fills a niche few other games are even willing to try to.

On top of that, Saints Row was always 'we have GTA at home' to most people --personally I think SR was superior in every way to Rockstar's garbage, but that's just me-- and the reboot only made things worse because in SR4 you had the powers of a god whereas in SR2022 you had...a wingsuit. That you could only use at designated areas. Even without the millennial writing the Saints Row reboot offered nothing other games (including previous Saints Row games) weren't already doing better.

if this game ends up being a major commercial success, buckle up, we will never hear the end of it.

Even if it does Elden Ring numbers we're still up on points after Concord and Dustborn, and the people currently deepthroating the game will lose interest once the election hype swings into full gear and they need to tweet 200 times an hour that Trump is literally Hitler.

I will stand by my convictions, no matter what.
This game is shit and changing my opinion just because it's not the popular one, is peak reddit brainrot.

Related, something I feel more telling of the quality of the game is the super obvious Telltale "Taash will remember this" prompt.

even star wars with their diehard fanbase began to die when they started pushing DEI, i just hope it won't take 3 games for people to wake up to how shit DA has gotten.

 

[Tor Lugosi]

Apparently Taash's main character arc is how she wants to be a dude. Not just a few references here and there about pronouns but she genuinely wants to become a pooner and it's her central character theme.

 

[BlankSpaceBaby]

I really can't with that Taash. It's like a cow-monster had raped and impregnated a poor Indian woman (#multicultural), and the woman was denied her rights to free abortion by the patriarchy, so Taash was the result.

 

[Balr0g]

In regards to sales: look at the Top 20 for the US. I doubt they will even make a dent in that. Heck, Hogwarts, a game from last year is still selling good

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review Situation is a DEIsaster!​

 

[Miriam Margoyles]

Telling people what to do, how to act and what to think is communist behavior.

"Erm, excuse me, but how dare you command me NOT to scoff down handfuls of human shit, you communist!!"

I'm a randomer on a message board, dude. I've no authority to tell anyone what they ought to do with their cash.

But I do think it's a bit fucking rich to complain about 'current year' woke DEI shit being inorganically forced into games AND THEN BUY THE GAMES ANYWAY.

I'm not sure what level of consoomerism you have to be on for that to make sense to you.

Nah my man, Star Wars began to die when they axed the Expanded Univrse. That's when they lost the hardcore fans, with the DEI push they started losing the normies.

Telling people what to do, how to act and what to think is communist behavior.

Imagine being so retarded that you think that telling people to do something, one of the bedrocks of human civilization since we crawled out of the jungle, is the brainchild of a fat 19th century German jew.

She looks like gray Rachel Maddow with horns. Taking the boomer 'Rachel Madcow' moniker a little too literally.

Did you put your mask and stay at home man?

Alright when this comes out I want the full scuttlebutt on if you can be a huge renegade asshole and get everybody killed. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THIS GAME BECOMES ENJOYABLE.

If its like andromeda and its bland as hell? There's no hope this game makes any money.

 

[Kharash]

I really can't with that Taash. It's like a cow-monster had raped and impregnated a poor Indian woman (#multicultural), and the woman was denied her rights to free abortion by the patriarchy, so Taash was the result.

I think the funny thing is that if they hadn't made her hideous and mentally ill she would probably be pretty popular. Coomers would love a big qunari girl just like fags liked Iron Bull, it's a pretty popular fetish these days,

Spoiler

even without the futa cock

but Bioware just couldn't not sabotage themselves out of spite.

Really though, this is great. Back when it was still called Dreadwolf I would never have predicted something this terrible and I was by no means optimistic back then. Can't wait for the layoffs.

Shill Up's review goes a bit into detail about this, you can't really play a bad guy or do anything but support your companions. It's that bad.

 

[Jinn in the phone]

How many more AAA(A) games that had their foundations laid in 2020-2021 and are now very out-zeitgeist do you think we'll get? This has a built-in-audience (women and faggots), I don't think it will sell as consequentially bad as the titles we've been spoiled with, such as Dustborn or Concord. But I feel "Taash will remember your positive endorsment of a multicultural upbringing" is tired, even now.

The woke will never leave us, but the numbers speak on their own. It all comes from publishers trying to treat video games like movies, with the possibility of "universally played games" which had some credence in earlier titles like GTA, sports games, etc. It's only so long before the good money stops following the bad.

If this dnd 5e squee game fucking saves bioware I will eat crow, raven pidgen...

I'm watching some more reviews and it's fucking hilarious how this role-playing game doesn't let you be mean.
You can be a tranny but you can't be hecking rude to your valid friendos.

It's literally this meme:

 

[Kane lives in death]

Shillups extremely negative review is reaching 1 million views. mrmatty negative review is also on 350k views.

meanwhile on the positive side you have the extremely big publications that for some fucking reason have a lot of weight on this shitty industry and they set up the metacritic score. how many views do they get?
IGN is by far the most popular, but it sits at 270k (with 80%dislikes), eurogamer have a pathethic 36k, gamespot a 28k. the most popular positive review of the game is mortismal with 325k... hes not a publication, hes just another youtuber like skill up

This is the truth... all of this huge journoscum sites that act like the gaming authority, get preferencial treatment, get to dictate the metacritic scores and get the big news to divulge... they are fucking nobody, they have no fanbases and are irrelevant. no one listens to them.
I cant wait for the day game developers actually realize this. If they ever will... Just skill up by himself with a small team has more of a fanbase than all of these huge publications with hundreds of employees combined.


edit: its so fucking funny that all of these big sites have to band together to push the joint metacritic score up just so people listen to them, its like they know no one trusts them individually so they spew the same shit like a hive mind, and if they are lucky they get the same influence that one random big youtuber gets by releasing a video on his own from the comfort of his basement. pathethic doesnt even begin to describe it honestly.
