Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

What the fuck is this shit?

Bioware has been buying small youtubers. And by small, I mean extra small.

After thinking about it, how does this bharv thing even make sense?

If someone isn't an obese landwhale or actually disabled then 10 push ups is pretty much effortless and I can't see how randomly dropping and performatively performing a set of push ups makes it less about the person than saying sorry does.

The whole idea is just absolutely pathetic from any logical perspective.

We're talking about BioWare devs here))

It's the standard 'media' two-step: Blatantly lie in pursuit of an agenda, then fake a superficial objectivity in an attempt to regain credibility.

Yes, Guardian did the same with Rings of Power, first they sang praises for each episode and once it aired, they called it a 'stinker'.

As an obese landwhale, I haven't thought the punchline to this joke, but I'm posting it anyway because lol failguard who cares.

Imagine reading anything but user reviews (unless for laugh), in 2024, 2014 or 2004. Okay, I could excuse pre-2004 due to lack of internet in 90's and earier but otherwise you are a sucker*

Is this the new spin off for "they didn't have the tech back then"? Bioware were held back by Star Wars IP and sudo D&D rules. Oh wait unless you are Jedi you don't even have any powers so that is not even a good point.The gameplay systems are pure decline on all fronts. I could have even included NWN to that list as that was another decline. Party size went from 6 with BG to at best 3 with KOTOR, JE and ME. Well at least they didn't do another game without party members like NWN I guess.

Lol, why would you have powers when you aren't a Jedi? You're not making any sense. It's absolutely restricted by the Star Wars IP. NWN had a limit of one party member and dogshit party A.I. that would just stand there and do nothing half the time. KotOR is massive incline over that. This is irrelevant because that wasn't what you were comparing in your OP.

"KotOR is dumbed down" implies that there was a more complex system that they deliberately nerfed for the sake of the stupid. You used Jedi powers as an example of this against mage spells in DA, which is a terrible example because it's not for the sake of simplicity that there are fewer Jedi Powers. If you're going to attack KotOR, do it on grounds that make sense like the poorer skill pool compared to NWN, (which is still far superior to any of the IE games except IWD2 btw) or encounter difficulty.

The most dumbed down Bioware game was Jade Empire. Characters didn't even have inventory, ffs.

It's a humiliation ritual. The point is to show that they have power over you, not to exhaust you.

And yet, it is still the best of their games since its' release

Implying that youcucker would dare to post here. His trannyloving "fans" would flip the fuck out.

It's Biover.

We know nothing about real sales until EA announces it, you dumbfuck.

Them not announcing the sales officially yet is also sending a message, and we have other ways to judge how bad the sales are.

Dead Space 2 had budget of 60M + 40M for marketing, so that'd be 100M. It sold 4M copies. It was considered a disappointment. The budget for Veilguard was above 250M (not even counting marketing!) and the unofficial sources (I read there are two now) say it sold around 500k copies. You can do the math.

60 USD * 0.5 million = 30 million. WOW 30 million for this crap and they would likely subtract development cost from taxes, thus they wouldn't even pay taxes for this.
That's big win.

The only question is how they managed to waste 250 millions on this simple stuff, when they didn't even optimize it to run at 2(4) cores, and didn't bother to optimize graphics to run at older graphic cards at decent fidelity and framerates.

the fact you can have a threesome with two female companions does not make it the best.

Besides it's just fade to black...

Those too can be hit or miss.
I don't even read or watch reviews anymore. I just look at the UI to decide if the game is worth trying.

Wow story in this game is so bonkers even resetera is posting sensible arguments that story of this game is bonkers.

Is there even enough of a story to be called bonkers? That's one of the head-scratchers, there's less of a narrative than a series of dangling threads that sometimes waft close to each other but just seem like everyone wrote in a corner and it got pasted together via various excuses.

You're an absolute nobody who gets put in charge for no reason after Varric eats shit.

That's actually the nice part. You are the best from group of total failures, and nobody cares about main character, thus main character can do whatever he wants.

The first act is like an agonizingly drawn out start to a heist movie, only instead of getting experts to Save The World you're getting whoever somebody happens to know, including a sullen teengaer who is only there because her mom made her.

Get the team, head out to kill a god, but your crack assassin only stabs a little bit because, and they literally say this, "he was distracted."

So then you have a discussion about how everyone is distracted by their issues, and instead of firing everyone and getting people who can do their fucking job, you decide the only way forward is to be therapy leader. So therapy and unrelated filler quests make up, from what I can tell, the bulk of the actual game.

But, that's actually great hint about psychiatric issues of development team. They are basically screaming: "Please do some therapy with us, we need that to be able to do proper game development."

So I'd explain you that stuff explicitly.
Imagine you want to join team of pirate women who have rule of female only.
You are claiming to be non binary.

When they slip in addressing you as nonbinary, which they do often, they do 10 pushups.

Can you imagine how well trained and properly muscular bodies these female pirates have, and can you imagine is how sexy it's when they are doing 10 pushups which will not tire them, but instead shows theirs sexy bodies in full motion?

Ah yes, KOTOR is not dumbed down! You just have 2 classes in this deep RPG- a Jedi and Jedi without powers. Retard.
