Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[GrainWetski]

I'm getting the feeling that where ever I look, the troons and their pets outnumber the based by at least 10:1. I thought the pendulum was supposed to be swinging back. There's not a single place outside Codex where you could be safe from their insipid bullshit. They can't be that numerous.

Could this indeed be some kind of media manipulation via bot armies and paid shills, or just a bunch of permanently online social warriors coordinating their attacks?

All social media is filled with bots. Go look at any demonrat Twitter post praising Kamala/calling Trump Hitler and you have a wall of very obvious bot accounts with a thousand blue emojis in their names just saying the same thing as everyone else worded slightly differently.

Weird similarities:

From the gg subreddit

The IGN Portugal one, in Portuguese, doesn't even make sense grammatically, not to mention it has other errors:

"Dragon Age: The Veilguard é um regresso à forma do BioWare"

In Portugal, we do not say forma in this sense, fórmula, sure, not forma. Funny that it also uses the male "do" for Bioware, a company, when we usually use the genderless "de".

I do wonder if they gave these reviewers a template to copy from and they just badly translated them.

Just a coincidence that half the reviews are saying the exact same thing as the "creative director", I'm sure.

I have about two months off coming up soon, I'm going to buy this and play it just to do a review.

Make sure to look for a 100% discount before buying it.

I sent screenshots from this thread to a real life gay

Spoiler

Conservative gay movement. So only mass sex parties once per week.

Well the classical conservative gay is a married man who hooks up with guys whenever he can get away from the wife

It would be interesting to track the refund numbers for this one.

one reason they make the character creator so bloated is so that people spend 2 hours in character creation then suddenly are past the refund timer

"I don't believe this could be AI generated because it's actually so terrible...I believe that this was created by a human who is actually incompetent at writing."

Decided to watch mortismal's review of the game and yet again i see a stark contrast between the positive and negative reviews. The positive reviews are vague as fuck. They carefully downplay or don't even touch the negatives (mortismal for example just states that "ehh the art style is a little bit different compared to previous entries" while the ME team is already damage controlling Pixar comparisons and trying to distance away from their own peers). Their praise is shallow and never goes into specifics. It's almost like HR is in a room together with them too.

 

[Larianshill]

I wonder if Mortismal will say it was all ironic at the end

There's so many top-notch quotes to be found. Popcorn tastes good.

Decided to watch ShillUp's review of the game and yet again i see a stark contrast between the positive and negative reviews. The negative reviews are vain as fuck. They carefully downplay or don't even touch the positives (ShillUp for example just states that "ehh there is a really fun game at its core" while the ME team is just stating the obvious to soothe the Chuds). Their hatred is shallow and never goes into specifics. It's almost like Trump is in a room together with them too.

The strongest feeling I have watching extracts, videos, and reading reviews of this game is that the biggest issue is not the appeal and pandering to fringe minorities.
It's the fact that the game is a new avatar of the biggest shit the West is facing : we've become children, and mass appeal art must appeal to children.

There is nothing offensive.
Characters behave like in pixar cartoons.
Nothing offensive can happen.
Nothing thought provoking is possible.
Nothing dark, nothing disturbing.

And Dragon Age Veilguard is marketed toward "adults. "

The biggest issue we're facing is not gender politics. The big issue is that we're becoming children.

 

[Ryzer]

Jesus christ guys. How new are you? This is the Saerilith mod.

And this one, is it a mod?

 

[Lacrymas]

Wasn't there supposed to be T&A& even dick (probably all on the same person) shown in this game? What happened to that?

 

[Cryomancer]

or don't even touch the positives

Name one. I see only :

• Ugly graphics
• Ugly females
• Ugly UI
• Awful Awesome buttom 1/2/3 combat
• Worst necromancy ever
• Awful writing
• Railroad
• Dialog Wheel(even bugthesda realized that it sucks)
• (...)

Grim dark in media was so early 2000s. Now it's reality. Everywhere. No wonder the entertainment industry is pivoting towards escapism again.

The "HR is in the room" version of escapism it seem, or it's retarded cousin with a scat fetish

Everything in the game is offensive to a normal person.

"hide"?

Eurogamer hates me, putting pronouns in my game wasn't enough to satisfy their thrist for woke.

But like all of the legacy gaming media, they are on the way of the Dodo.

You do not have to partake in that.
There are better games to try.

I will be re downloading Origins as I said that I will do. Any recommended mods? Also, I will take some dialog screenshots only to compare with Drag Age Failguard.

A professional game dev DESTROYING the atrocious writing in Failguard :

When the most scarily effective defence they can come up with for that boils down to "Why would you want to include mean and offensive things and options in X?", you know something is wrong with the society at large. This here is what it looks like when people use victimhood as means to quell honest debate, or honest dissection of cultural tropes offered by entertainment products. You simply can't have any of that if someone getting offended is to be avoided. You can't have a normal society that respects personal freedoms and the human spirit. Period. What you can have is a communist dystopia built upon lies.

'To be woke' means that your're either blind to these events that should tell you where western society is headed right now, or utterly complicit.

Not anymore.
