Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[Lagole Gon]

team is filled with prestigious productions in the future.

Considering people like Ohlen and Knowles basically essentially left the gaming industry and moved to writing modules for pnp DnD, I can see only the darkness before us

James Ohlen sucks an absolute bag of dicks as a PnP writer. It's a horror show of characters being ressurected and/or turned gay.
I'm reasonably sure it wouldn't be as gay even if an actual homo like Dgaider wrote it.
I guess we're lucky he was a designer and not a writer back in BG days.

The fact that everything after the initial trailer was cope of unprecedented proportions, the utter despair of redditors realizing it's real, various entities being revealed as gigantic shills, and possibly killing a studio viewed as unkillable...

This is true entertainment. One of the best game releases I have ever seen.

 

[Storyfag]

yeah this is expected

the next question is where these people will go

CDPR?
Obshidian?
Or the successor of Bioware, Larian?

McDonalds

Ehh, they might still learn to code...

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

It just felt the trailer was ready like way before they had actual content to show. Then they were like "hey, this can be seen as snarky commentary on games" but no. Bioware lacks subtetly. Even a turboautistic, permavirgin guy like Josh Sawyer could come up with stuff that was relatively interesting for once, but Bioware is like "you're either red or blue", quite literally in Mass Effect actually. Quality of writing was never Bioware's strong point. If anything, they kickstarted the "our game has ten million words on it" bit.

The game director replied to Eurogamer about his departure.

"At the heart of it, this was about my own fulfillment," Busche told Eurogamer. "I did what I set out to do at BioWare. That is to come in and help right the ship. I love Dragon Age, and BioWare, so the chance to return the game to a proper quality single player RPG was the privilege of a lifetime."
"It was hard fought, as games with such tumultuous dev cycles rarely end up shipping, and even more rarely turn out great. We, as a team, did it. And it was hard. It took a toll on me. BioWare still has a lot of work to do culturally, but I do believe they are on the right footing now."
"As for me, my departure was voluntary, as I have been presented with an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I don’t want to say much more right now, but you can count on it being in the CRPG space and upholding the traditions of great characters."

Although all of it is hilarious, the bolded part is my favorite.

Something is off with the steam rating. Recent reviews have been around 64% for weeks, but whenever the overall score approaches sub-70 it inexplicably jumps.

At least the game director has been faced with some consequences...

It's got to be one of the dysfunctional Disco Elyisum spinoff groups right? I can't think off any other company dumb enough to take a look at the director of a game that might kill off their old company and decide to hire them.

 

[Rieser]

By the way, did anyone mention this?

According to GSD, Veilguard was the 67th best selling game in Europe last year. Yes, sixty-fucking-seventh. Totally not a flop btw.

Off to ruin another franchise? Let's see, who needs a kick in the dick? Oh I know, I wonder if CDPR is hiring.

 

[Kem0sabe]

I bet it's either Larian or CDPR.

He said CRPG so no CDPR.
Probably Larian. They seem to have.....common grounds here and there.

Never admit defeat, even when your enemies razed your city and fucked your wife and daughter in front of you. And it's even worse to admit a self own.

Therefore the game was huge success. Or some sort of success, whatever. The game was successful, fucking chuds!!

The mission was failed successfully?

"After a successful attack and not capturing enemy fortifications, the remaining half of the battalion victoriously advanced back to its starting positions"

Hey! That sounds familiar!

I like this bit:

"As for me, my departure was voluntary, as I have been presented with an opportunity I couldn't turn down."

I'm sure it was an opportunity xe couldn't refuse. Like: "Resign now or you'll never work in this industry again."

We... have an offer... for you... that you cannot refuse... yes?

The real Veilguard are those who never played this "game" and watched Bioware ruin itself with its own wokeness.

 

[Fargus]

How strong one should hate himself to actually play this?

 

[Modron]

If you're considering playing it you probably hate yourself enough.

 

[Elttharion]

They can always form a new studio to make their own woke half assed Dragon Age clone and go bankrupt when it fails. Because they are retards and will never learn.

I remember some broken, godawful Dragon Age clone with hulking they\them granny warrior. I think some bioware devs were involved. What was the name of that piece of shit? It was set up for failure.

They are already doing this tho

Well quit touching yourself while you do it. It's seriously creepy.

You mean the 10% if it that aren't autistic sperging, anti-Codex contrarianism or outright shilling?
Well, I'm sure all that entertained your kind.

On one hand I wish Bioware stopped existing so there is a bit fewer AAA slops (even if nothing else takes its place) that I will have to excuse when telling someone that I like cRPGs and he answers "Oh, like Veilguard?"

On the other, these cancer people will go somewhere, and if they go to other companies the cancer will spread. Dog forbid they go to Larian or Warhorse. Even CDP although CDP is already in the woke hole making slops, I just shiver with the idea they might cross Polish border even on just business visit.

If Bioware shuts down gotta watch where these degenerates go.
