Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

humanity peaked in the '90s and we didn't know it.

You never know you were living in good times until the bad times come.
You're in the 4th century Rome timeline now, have fun.

Out of curiosity, I checked the concurrents and it's 5k rn, with a daily peak around 10k.

A month from the launch.

A mainline Dragon Age game. With 200+ million budget. With massive EA marketing machine behind it.

Kingdom Come Deliverance - a weird, niche Kickstarter clunkfest made by a few dozen greasy Slavs in tracksuits for about 15 million - had a higher all-time peak than DAV and a month from the launch it still attracted around 40k people daily.

Perspective is a bitch ain't it?

Fuck you mean weird? Don't make me put you on the list.

more often than not they're ignored in favour of the dregs of society who look at something like Dragon Age: Origins and treat it purely as a dating sim altered through the tumblr lens.

Which is really funny considering that their own fans seems to dislike romances in Veilguard.. What else they fans gonna talk if even their romances are bad lol

Holy Mother of all horrors. The music, the slang, the way of speaking, the oozing of emotion, the fetishes. An almost perfect time capsule of Tumblr weirdos infecting the franchise.

A taste of the abyss

Letting you use the character creator for free is good bait I will admit. I'm a sucker for these things, in a normal world they might have got me with that one.

You can just pirate it if you absolutely need to see what it leads to.

“We’re very happy with the critical reception to the game,” she claimed. “It’s not common to have these challenging development cycles and have a team turn around and receive the critical reception that it did. In fact, in a lot of ways, that is the harder path to take. So yeah, we’re quite proud of the critical reception.”

“Unfortunately on the sales side, that’s not something we can really discuss, but of course as we know with Inquisition, that was a long burn to get to those total sales numbers.”

Do not look at the comments. Fuck in 'ell.

Imagine making the most diverse arrpeegee ever only to drive your fanbase into sexing an old white man.

The level of fail in this game is immeasurable.

The old dude was the least popular romance according to the statistics Bioware released, 4 of the top 5 are female so it looks like most of the players are still men (or maybe gay women). I was surprised too given how much people seemed to talk up Emmrich online, but I guess gerontophilic women are just an unusually vocal minority.

The game currently has fewer than 10,000 players.
I saw they released a free-to-download character creator, but I don't think it will help boost sales.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Usually you release that sort of thing before you release the game to build up hype (understandably not applicable in this case, lul), not after full release. Doubt it'll have any impact.

 

[Padzi]

I think a big sale might help the situation. There are plenty of people who don’t want to pay full price for a bad product and are waiting for a discount. But I doubt the game will break even.

 

[NecroLord]

So, if Taash dies, Izabela refers to her as "she and "her". Why isn't she pulling a Barve and doing push-ups? Is she stupid?

Misgendering the dead?
How dare she!
By the way, Isabela is a disgusting thot.

... so this just happened :D

Yeah, their rule against political discussion goes only one way, like basically everywhere. If you fellate the establishment values, your post stays. If not, then that ^ happens. You can be as political and anarchist as you like, as long as you suck the globalist cock. Sadly, this is a sign that globalist values have already been deeply integrated into society.

You can see this play out in the subject of political violence as well. Leftist violence is usually taken very lightly, even when terrorist organisations like Antifa are involved. This is contrasted by "thought crimes" of the former centrists, now dubbed "far-righters". Dissention is a real threat to the establishment, whereas the far-lefters are merely its iron fist. You've got to have some of those organisations in your pocket if your hands are to stay kosher.

Still amazing, "Why redpills are so mad", its a pollical thread by nature, and its fine, a guy starts accusing people grooming kids in a pretty ironic way... and its also fine, and then I get an infraction for that, just rude man, just rude.

 

[Skinwalker]

Let Bioware be shut down.

 

[Digital Goat]

definitely there are not enough trannies in this game, especially with the tevinter powerful magic sure they can do transition in a snap of fingers, what the fuck then? where?
thus as a progressive citizen and stuff i'm gonna write them, that i'm outraged by the insufficient attention to the rights of minorities. sure they can do better

Their list also includes Star Wars Outlaws and Alan Woke. Maybe they thought including Concord as well would make it too obvious.
