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

[too many words]

You can condense that whole post down to "Incompetent niggers did what incompetent niggers do"

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

If BioWare somehow survives to produce ME5, then yes, as others have said then I think ME5 will be the last strike. But I really have my doubts they're going to be given the opportunity.

I've heard BioWare has less than 20 people working on ME5 right now. They are fucked.

 

[Marty Robbins]

Hey Bioware, for sacrificing one of the most loved video game IPs on the altar of trooned out modern audiences do a Bharv. 20 pushups then never work on a video game again.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

I'm glad the game respected my decision to identify as a non-buynary.

People will say it's because of woke, or gay or whatever the fuck but let's be honest:

It's just bad writing. It's not because they're gay, or black, or whatever else

Off the top of my head:

Barrett from final fantasy, arcade Gannon from New Vegas, beloved characters.

You know what they did that this didnt? They didn't make it their entire fucking personality and above all else, they have actual writing


Barrett isn't just IM BLACK. IM OPPRESSED, WAH WAH WAH, no he's a fucking gun arm mounted badass that fights a mega corporation killing the planet

And as for arcade, a child of the enclave who never knew his father born to people trying to hide their past, you literally have to go through the effort and get a perk or go through dialog and pay attention to what he says to know he's gay ("why hasn't some lucky bachelor swept his guy off his feet yet").

That's it. When it comes to this dragon age, the horned character. I don't even know her name. I don't care. Shes literally just there to be "non-binary". Has no substance, is not interesting in the fucking slightest, most people kill her in their playthroughs the moment they get the opportunity.

These games fail, because they're shittily written and just have shit in there to hit some arbitrary quota of gayness and blackness, forgetting that they need a story to go with it.

AAA studios are getting fucked sideways and I am loving it.

 

[Gobermental Supervisor]

I haven't seen anyone post this here. EA officially stated in their press release that the game performed below 50% of approximated expectations. They hoped it would sell 3 million copies, but it sold 1.5 million. Bioware is most likely getting axed.

EA is a trash company. Exploitative gatcha content in cames targeted at kids. I hope they get slammed with a few class action lawsuits for their immoral behavior.

That their DEI games are failing is just the cherry on top.
Fuck EA and the management making the decisions.

 

[Fake News Anchor]

Failure after failure after burnt legacy franchise after closed down studio after career ruining flop after box office bomb...

Source, since that sounds too good to be true.

You hate to see it.

Here lies BioWare
1995-2025
Another of EA's victims

Dont think you can blame EA for this one, Bioware killed themselves

 

[Marty Robbins]

ME5 team scrambling to remove the scenes about alien sex changes and replace them with Miranda ass shots

 

[Takodachi]

Can the AAA industry just crash please?
Hopefully the AA and Indie scene will pick up the pieces (and start the cycle all over again)

Just put BioWare out of its misery. You’ve taken enough, EA. You own a husk now.

Also woke does go brr, but for flops instead of stonks. Disasters. No one wants to play dollhouse fantasy where you talk about your identities and little else.

 

[Fields Of Rye]

Veilguard is not only their third flop in a row; it's the first one that is legitimately franchise-killing. Anthem was new territory; Andromeda was confined to a completely different galaxy with only a few tenuously linked characters like Garrus's father (I suppose one might consider it a gaiden game). Veilguard was the greatly anticipated followup to a game that ended on multiple cliffhangers a decade ago -- and with such a disastrous resolution, where is the story supposed to go now?

It was also the season of reboots where random, plucky, “B tier AAA” franchises like Baldurs Gate were able to fucking explode. (Yes, a 20 year old CRPG is B tier).

All up and down the halls the bigwigs are gritting their teeth at what is Larians literal third go at torturing their players with what on paper should an unpopular genre literally raping every other genre for like 3 years straight, wondering, “Why the fuck can’t we do that”

 

[Dean Pentel]

Too bad none of the investors will suggest the company embody the message they've been desperate to shove down the throats of everyone for the last few years and have obese, lazy, stupid nigger troons swoop in to save the company from the decisions of evil white people.

Diversify that top management, Bioware!

END OF RINE FOR BIOWARE.

DING DONG BANNU.

People will say it's because of woke, or gay or whatever the fuck but let's be honest:

It's just bad writing. It's not because they're gay, or black, or whatever else

So, In my opinion, woke is synonymous with bad writing.

It seems like everyone has different opinions about what "Woke" means" but personally - Woke is when a writer's personal agenda or politics interferes with the integrity and immersion of a story to push their ideology over serving the purpose of the product.
