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

[30+GameOvers]

I'm willing to bet people bought the game and returned it, or shared the game with friends or something. So in reality, the numbers could be far worse than what they're telling us here

Is this one on Game Pass? If so, it's a rental at best. Otherwise, they might be desperate and count the numbers of pirated copies(LMFAO) as well to pad out the numbers. There is no way this game sold, as in moved copies that never got refunded, even 1 million worldwide.

It was bundled with nVidia carda iirc. They could also be counting the "free" character creator thing they released if they wanted to jew-lawyer-maxx too.

If they're counting all these, plus pirated copies, imagine the actual numbers this game sold proper, lol

The gay shit isn't even the worst offender tbh.
AAA treats the player like they're Darksydephil. Characters are flat and aggressively inoffensive, everything is forgettable.

Nothing short of an industry crash will help. Not buying your slop. Scam someone else

Even DSP would be disgusted by these caricatures. No, these are mental nutcases that you are forced to have therapy sessions with because the mentally ill freaks that made this game think that this is genuinely how human interaction works. This and muh marvel slop, muh whimsical pixar fantasy as well, neither of these things describe Dragon Age BTW.

This has been hilariously obvious since Troonguard came out to anyone who bothered comparing it to actually successful fantasy/RPG releases of recent times on Steam player charts, BG3 being the best comparison since Dragon Age was conceived as a spiritual sequel to the original Baldur's Gate games.

89k all time peak is pathetic for a AAA game, especially one that had such a long and troubled production like Troonguard did, the fact that this number is not much higher than BG3's current 24 hour peak almost a year and a half after release says a lot. Jason Schreier is a disingenuous little faggot.

EA is the top dog of greed. Expect billions from a game that is bland, generic, woke and loaded with micro transactions. That goes for any games EA have released for 10+ years.

I'm a Battlefield player since 2006 and the last 2 games have been a mess of retarded proportion. Copy from older games, half done tard shit with corners cut and no attention to any details.

When I see EA logo on a game, I get the sensation this will suck woke shemale cock!
And that you will be ripped off. Paying full price for a demo and spend 4 times more for all the dlc.

Yeah I was just about to talk about DICE/Battlefield. EA has a lot of studios that are just shambling corpses that are wearing skin suits of previously great studios. They are basically that farmer the bug takes over his body in Men In Black.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Conservatives sat on their thumbs and let them take over. Why can't we infiltrate and take over things, too? Why can't we take Star Wars back and turn it into "The Adventures of MAGA Chad McBigCock, Galactic PedoHunter"?

Because conservatives, or more specifically, tradcucks, are the other side of the horseshoe. They want woke to succeed, while at the same time playing the same "lose with grace" card over and over. They hate nerds more than they hate woke, in part because woke allows them to larp as the victim.

Companies like Disney, EA, Activision, Ubisoft - they are all too big to change.

And it keeps getting proven false time and again. Unless your measure for change is the company being completely wiped out. All it took was Trump being elected for a bunch of mega corps to pull a 180.

Good news, the industry is already crashing.

, I don't want a KOTOR remake

Whitepill for all Chvdsided Sith:

KOTOR remake is made by Saber, same as Space Marine 2. It isn't made by Bioware.

So there is a chance it will not be total ass.

Remember how unbearable ultra-religious Christians were in the 80s and 90s? Their music sucked, their video games sucked, most of their entertainment sucked, but they didn't care. All forms of art were merely ways to spread The Good Word, and so they were happy to take a loss on those things if necessary. If it saved just one soul (read: got them into Heaven), it was worth it.

Wokies are the same way except there's no forgiveness or redemption in their shitty faux religion.

Woke is just a cult that copy pasted the whole video game panic. The Westboro should sue them after copyrigting it.

The really funny thing is male gamers really do love dominant female characters and they can even be psychotic BPD bitches, but they have to be attractive and fun. They can appeal to both demographics by not making them ugly and unlikable.

Ugly and unlikeable is a leftist core trait. They self insert so it must be that.

Attractive and fun is two words the woke can't accept.

EA should kill BW and outsource ME4.

But I got the feeling that ME4 will be BW's last hurrah and EA will shitcan them after you get FtM pooner Liara in a wheelchair.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Saints Row 2022, Concord, Dustborn, DA: The Veilguard, and AC: Shadows should be in future marketing case studies about how the social justice religion and moral hysteria of the late-2010s early-2020s

You forgot Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. There is already tranny drama because someone on Steam dared to ask why the female character looks like a feminine man and then got banned.

Is there a single person on planet earth who expected this game to not be a disaster, tho?
I think this game specifically is going to have a similar fallout to Troonguard, with how long it's been in development and who is behind it.

It's one thing to be greedy, it's another to deliberately go out of your way to antagonize the overmajority of your audience and then demand the game sell millions of copies.

Despite BioWare doing everything in their power to antagonize the straight, male demographic, they still make up more than 80% of their playerbase. The nonexistent groomer and female audience never quite materialized.

KOTOR remake is made by Saber, same as Space Marine 2. It isn't made by Bioware.

They had Sam Maggs as a writer on the project. I have about as much trust in Saber as I have in BioWare.

Paradox already announced they were basically done publishing cRPGs after this debacle, so not even they are pretending this will be anything but a colossal dumpster fire.

 

[RandomTwitterGuy]

So, I am going to claim a thing.
I know a lot of you will piss, shit, and cry all over the place.

Vanguard did not fail because it is "WOKE." It only failed because it was a bad game.

Shit like Tash was not bad because of WOKE, but because of bad writing and hamfisted political shit making the character writing worse; even if all the gay and trans stuff were gone, the game would still be bad.

It was a failure of writing and character interactions; overall, it was too safe and soft in writing.

 

[ratnoid]

Good. The more EA bleeds, the higher the chance that the SSX IP will get sold to someone who will actually fucking use it.

I miss SSX

Imagine how many IPs will be released once EA and Ubisoft will die? Really can't wait.

 

[Kane Lives]

Rating you optimistic for thinking it won't get immediately snapped up by other big boys like Microshit, Soyny or even Deepsilver or whoever skinwalking THQ Nordic now.

 

[Crabbo]

The main issue I see with corporate slop is that the creators no longer see how gamers pay their paychecks.

They work 8 years for a company making a low quality game that looks pretty to fool their business managers.
Gamers don't pay their bills, the company does.
And they likely have minimal loyalty to the company or name, as its just temp work till they make a big break into their own projects.
They dont see any return of investment on a game being successful or not. It only benefits an evil capitalist corporation anyways.

So why WOULD a game be good?
What possible motivation could they have? Love of the medium? Nah
They hate typical video games and gamers.

 

[ratnoid]

Rating you optimistic for thinking it won't get immediately snapped up by other big boys like Microshit, Soyny or even Deepsilver or whoever skinwalking THQ Nordic now.

Mostly hoping for stuff like Might and Magic which might and magic be too obscure now for anyone to grab it blindly.

Shit like Tash was not bad because of WOKE, but because of bad writing and hamfisted political shit making the character writing worse; even if all the gay and trans stuff were gone, the game would still be bad.

The hamfisted political stuff is why people call it woke.

 

[regalterry]

Dumb take from a career dumbfuck.

Yeah, that's what woke is.

If 90% of the cRPG audience is straight men, how is shoving an abomination like Traash into the game going to make your game money? Are the 1% of mentally ill men supposed to make up the difference?

 

[din365]

Yep. If it had sold 1.5 they would have said so. They are counting literally every possible crumb of playtime here (and I wouldn't put it past them to have counted people who didn't even play but just downloaded it and other shit like it) and still fell short.

Good ridance.

If true, and bear in mind this is an outdated number from when it came out in the first month, but they got nearly 300 000 refund requests on steam, o assuming it don't go up much more and it went to 300k, that means out of those 1.5 million players, that means 20% got refunds. i don't know if that is normal for a game, but to me, that just sounds insanely high. perhaps somebody who is more knowledgeable can enlighten us on this

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.

The level of absolute, incalculable smugness dripping from every single line out of that woman's mouth should be studied. It's like they managed to condense the concept of self-righteousness into a 3D model.

Veilguard plays as badly as the other post DA games, it clearly wasn't the main issue.

I am something of an atypical gamer myself.

But yeah, a lot of devs love just sitting quiet and not communicating with the public at all. Can say that it's some company protocol where they are not allowed to speak much to avoid some information getting out, but then I recall all these devs suddenly crawling out of the woodwork to speak up when a game flops and they feel the need to defend it. When they do, you just can see how completely out of touch they are.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

People generally don't care about the race or sexuality of videogame characters or if the game includes politics. But anyone can tell at a first glance how the characters in this game are nothing more than the sexuality or race they claim to be.

Remember how after the first Mass Effect was released, some prude bitch went on Fox News to scream how the sex scene between her and FemShep made the game porn? Damn, I miss those days.
