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

[Fae Supremacist]

I have strong urge to fedpost about sudden mystery disease killing off EA staff. Go way of Volition you greedy fucks. Yes, I'm MATI after seeing great IPs bastardized, killing off studios one by one.

DICE or Bioware next?

DICE still exists theoretically, no?

The sad thing is, the wokesters still won. Sure, the only thing they're good at is infiltrating companies and spreading the toe fungus that is their ideology, but nobody had the ability to stop them. 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"?

Conservatives were the original woke. Society catered to them. We didn't hear the end of those (halcyon) bygone days by the woke left who until recently simultaneously had everything catered to them and larped as the underdog. Meanwhile the conservatives who hated tech companies now lap up everything Elon and Zuck say because they're "based" when all they did was slightly less enshittify their platforms. It's like leftists jumping up and down when Target began putting up pride flags.

There was some adult cartoon that came out in the last few years, I forgot the name, it tried to tackle the left and a lot of the jokes boiled down to "the youth of today are wussys", "just give your boss a firm handshake, eat the shit they feed you, and make sure you smile", and "muh soy vegan snowflakes". 4 years of that coming right up.

I'm tired of the cycles, boss.

EA has fucked up game companies since it existed. Over 40 years of this shit. They have been doing this shit since the early '80s. They were one of the "pioneers" of utterly infuriating DRM (before that acronym even existed). It's just that they've shifted their way of destroying them, from abysmal business sense to abusing employees to now, ruining franchises with wokeshit.

This vile entity has never been anything but a cancer on the industry.

Don’t forget that in the early 1990’s, EA reverse engineered the Sega Genesis at a time when they weren’t interested in producing console games solely so they could force Sega to offer them a mega sweet heart deal that let them pay the lowest royalties and ensured they got to have the best cartridges, this is why all the EA carts on Genesis have extra mega and are taller.
At the time, Sega was hedging a lot of their bets on Joe Montana Football to be a big hit for them, but EA has been secretly developing Madden and planned to release it on Genesis via an unlicensed cartridge, which would have destroyed Sega had they not agreed.
EA proceeded to flex on Sega by releasing the Madden one month before Joe Montana and utterly destroyed its sales while Sega bit its lip, and they’ve continued to have a near monopoly on American football ever since

Prism has been an insufferable faggot since I was using my older brothers accounts on forums online in grade school 20 years ago. It never ceases to amaze me how many of these woke grifter types are guys who spent literal decades calling people retards and fags and now clutch pearls and act like the world and people are really that radically different 10 years removed when they got laughed out of their circles and rebranded.

once a yeti, always a faggot.

That would be a real shame if anyone actually cared about sports games.

My guess is triple A executives think picking the nastiest mot resentful blue haired they/them crazies to write their slop will magically attract the youths. It's not even that hard to integrate DEI slop into your shit, just give the player the option to play however he wants while retaining the atmosphere that has been working already for previous games. That worked for BG3, that game was filled to the brim with faggotry but it was bearable because outside two or three plot points it wasn't that noticeable in the story proper. I think the people behind these games are forgetting that they are writting for an audience and not for themselves.

Idkkkk, bg3 also gave you the option to quite literally just be as evil as you wanted and slaughter everyone, children included.

Sure it had a gay vampire, but it was also well written, and nothing felt shoe horned in.

 

[01169]

BG3 was a massive success, and it was super FUCKING WOKE.

No it wasn't. It was woke if you wanted it to be. It was also rather "controversial" or "problematic" if you wanted it to be as well.

Just as a good cRPG is supposed to you were the key to make it so. Dragon Age on the other hand is just woke garbage without the possibility to opt out. Doesn't matter that the writing and gameplay is atrocious too because it's the one-dimensionality that's the problem.

 

[Glowie]

DICE or Bioware next?

Why not both? Just use AI to code, make graphics for them and turn into Developer/Publisher EA games publishers just what to code and AI will shit out games/DLC on annual and monthly basis. I mean we already had this with pedowood, now it's game industry's turn.

Who needs humans anyway?

T. EA

 

[LiquidKid]

That would be a real shame if anyone actually cared about sports games.

Way to ignore the part about how the shitty company blackmailed Sega when they were at their financial weakest. Had they not managed to release Sonic to success in 1991, this would have killed them.

And, Believe it or not, sports games actually used to be creative and would have fun with the concept before EA pulled this stunt. We’d get stuff like the Kunio Kun games, Windjammers(extreme frisbee gsme that’s like Pong crossed with a fighting game) or even the Captain Tsubasa series which used to be full story driven turn based RPG soccer games.
Sports games suck the way they do now because of EA.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Women don't want gross trannies in their games. They also don't really care for manfaced girlbosses.

True dat. My wife loved the first Dragon Age game, but lost all interest in the franchise when it became "too faggy".

 

[Keith the Horse Fucker]

I hope they all gwt shit canned and the DEI deadweights go back to serving me coffee, poorly.

Why would you ever want to taint the gofer industry like that?

 

[Glowie]

I'm tired of the cycles, boss.

Burn down entire industry let budding new industry grow from ash fertilized soil.

 

[Keith the Horse Fucker]

LOL gaming is hardly a real hobby. Actual hobbies don't have this ridiculous drama, aside from maybe fanfic and Tumblr art.

Go back to your hobby of eyeing children, you pedo faggot

Idkkkk, bg3 also gave you the option to quite literally just be as evil as you wanted and slaughter everyone, children included.

Yeah that's the point, in BG3 you can play however the fuck you want. You want to be a degenerate troon and fuck everyone? Yeah, you can do that. You want to kill goblin children? Yeah buddy, no problem. You want to kill the gay vampire the moment he tries to eat your blood? Yeah, sure, go ahead. They even give you a custom character specifically tailored to play in the most evil way possible with unique lore and dialogue choices. You can be as unrestrained or as heroic as you want because the developers realized that unsurprisingly people like to roleplay in roleplay games

In Dragon Age there is literally no such freedom, you are stuck playing in the exact way the developers want you to play their troon fantasy slop. Not only that but they retconned parts of the lore and the general aesthetics of previous games just to make a more marketable product.

Larian makes good rpg games, because at the end of the day, they know players wanna roleplay.

Larian just makes games that gives you the freedom.

If only bioware took notes

BG3 lost me because all the companions were enormous dickheads and were trying to romance my character a lot.
This was in early access mind you, haven't touched the game since.

I ended up chasing the vampire away when he tried to feed on me,
I completely ignored Shadowheart because she acted like she didn't need me and was smug about it, I then saw her fidgeting with some cube and trying so hard to get my attention like she was a 15 year old with a crush on me and then she just showed up in my camp one night acting all crazy (I killed her),
I told the mage to fuck off when he wanted my items and I left the frog woman in her cage because she tried to order me around.
So I just had the black guy and my own character to kill an entire goblin camp with, that was fun.

I get that the game supposedly gets better as it was released but the characters left such a sour taste in my mouth, the developers fucking complained about players playing as normal humans and then I heard you can fuck a bear and I was just like, yeah this game's just too tainted for me.

It's a shame because I did enjoy the gameplay, it would have been 1000% better for me if I could replace all these dickheads with randomass mercenaries I can customize cause I just could not give a single shit about them and their bullshit.

 

[AnOminous]

Yes, the boisterous bitch author self-insert tranny character who screams at anyone who doesn't call her what she wants to be called, calls her "friends" names even after being asked to stop. And this -isn't- used for character growth.

The trannies write *themselves* as annoying mean shameless hypocrites.

And this is why everyone hates troons.

REEEEEE REEEEEE I DEMAND YOU GIVE ME THE RESPECT I GIVE NOBODY ELSE!

They hate the thought of pandering to a group of people they see as uncool nerds. They see themselves as sophisticated artists with a profound story to tell, but nobody wants to pay them for that.

Meanwhile they're actually shit at writing. They're too incompetent even to do basic "Hero's Journey" shit that has been standard for literally millennia, since before writing itself even existed, yet they think third-rate drivel and shitty dialogue badly imitating Joss Whedon scripts is top notch.

There's a reason that kind of "wimpy kid turns into hero and takes down evil empire" shit sells and always has. It's because it's fucking inspiring. "I'm a fat loser and I'm going to STAY a fat loser and do nothing but bitch and complain and somehow just automatically win" isn't.

 

[SouthernBitchBob]

I made someone like the game less when I pointed this out: every companion in that game is a fujoshi fanfiction stereotype. The women, bitch or affable, are all brash and bawdy and Not Like Other Girls. Every single one of the men, every one, is how fujoshis wish gay men behaved. You have the uwu softboi, the damaged goods, the emo prickly boy, only broken up by the one who isn't an obvious bottom and he's a literal bear.

 

[AnOminous]

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.

Especially on Steam, there's a spiteful practice of "buying" a game just to talk shit about it and then return it. So they probably included those chuddies too.
