A trans guy's criticism of the game:



It's better than the other video someone posted with the guy talking in an intolerable gay voice. This one's possible to listen to.

"Possible to listen to" is giving it too much credit. The other video had an intolerable trans voice. This video has an intolerable gay voice. Only in this one the words are spoken too fast and too indistinctly for me, which wasn't the problem in the previous one (in terms of clarity, the voice was still extremely grating). But I guess that's how trans try to speak in order to not sound too manly or something.

Having said that, it's really funny to see that the very people BioWare tried to pander to don't really like what's being done. I don't recall something like this happening before. Literally everyone is dunking on this game by now. Frankly, this is the kind of "gem" of a game that's great for making funny video content about without any need of playing it yourself (because it is too shitty for that).

I'm more surprised how scantily dressed Isabella actually is. Did someone at Bioware tried to sexualize her? :bioware:

Well, she was a diseased slut fucking everything that movies since Origins where you meet her at the brothel of all places and can have threesome with her and Zevran. Great representation of a free and liberated femoid so they probably allowed her to show some skin because of that. It's ok if we do it kinda thing.

Her outfit looks like bad cosplay by a schizophrenic or some brazilian festival tranny rather than anything sexy to me. Her face is much uglier and pajeeta if you compare DA2 and Vileguar. She is also flat now. In DAO she looked like generic npc wearing some leather armor.

Wasn't it already nominated for goty? Whereas stuff like Stellar Blade and Wukong didn't?
It's probably gonna win as well, since the panel is comprised of journalists/activists that will vote for it to stick it to the chuds especially since Trump won. I can see that happening. It's not like goty means anything anyway.

The combat becomes repetitive because there is too much of it.
They needed to make the game longer to explain the price.
Killing dragons after a certain point becomes repetitive because their movesets are the same.
Fighting ogres becomes repetitive because their movesets are the same.
Fighting shieldbearers becomes repetitive because they have the same movesets with different colours.
Fighting demons becomes repetitive because all of them separate you from your party.
There are many examples like this.
Feels like a thirty hours game at most that was copy pasted to make it longer.
Add lots of meaningless dialogues that could have been served in text saving us time.
I don't see this becoming a financial success but it is still good for what it is, a mediocre arpg.
Still better than playing online multiplayer live service games.

Big kudos to that chap. If all Trans people were as sensible and honest as he is in that vid, then there'd be far less hate for them.

There's no way they give goty to this piece of shit over the FF7 remake... right ?
I don't even have a ps5 nor care for japanese arpgs but the FF7 remake seems several leagues above in every single compartiment of game design and production quality.
I get shilling and having the back of your fellow degenerate californians but surely there is a limit to how much bullshit you can feed the public.

FF7r part 2 is not going to be on this years' poll because it has not escaped the console ghetto yet.

Drova, DD2, and Skald will probably be the top games. Swordhaven is coming out in December but to early access so probably won't be on there either. The only thing that might upset the apple cart would be if Urban Strife really does come out in December.

The US is always blamed for Canada's terrible crimes for some reason e.g.: Bioware's games, Hawaiian Pizza, double and triple Denim, Ryan Gosling, et cetera.

I have a soft spot for the setting and interactivity of DA:O and so this review from a Redditor that points out how D:V fails so spectacularly in respecting its own heritage struck me as a good read.
View attachment 57398

You know you done fucked up when somebody writes that many words in an angry rant.

Apparently according to the author there, he was banned from the Dragon Age subreddit for critiquing the writing.

And his post on /r/gaming was deleted.

There was also this post from the director of the Ori games - Ori Director Says Dragon Age The Veilguard Writing Is ‘Terrible And Feels Dehumanized’ - that was posted on one gaming subreddit, where it got locked, and then on another more mainstream one, where it was removed.

Quite the mystery.

:hmmm:

Play DA:O instead after doing a bharve.

Now wait a God damn minute. Does the hottie from DA2, who is now a pajeeta, have a peacock feather tail?

What in the fuckiest fuck. Jeeez
Isabella was kinda already a pajeet.
Sort of.
Your yearly reminder that Isabella was once a white redhead.

Fuck everything after Origins.

Redhead on a shitskin is not much of a readhead. More like raghead.

Leliana was a redhead.

But unmodded Origins characters are butt-ugly anyway.

And still looks uggo like hell.
With redheads, they are either hot, highly attractive and possessing a certain majesty, or they are complete ugly goblinas.

Tbh Isabela looked nice in Inquisition (The DLC/Multiplayer thingy). Same as Leliana and Morrigan. If only the game's issues were how the characters looked...
