I won't be touching the new Dragon Age game with a ten foot stick, don't really consider myself a DA fan either, I played Origins, DA 2, and that's about it; don't really consider them the best RPGs or whatever, they were fun at the time but that's about it. I personally am going to be playing that big update that'll be dropping for Colony Ship on November. Possibly see if I can squeeze a few more hundred hours of running different builds whilst trying some new build ideas for my favorite companion, Faythe. No clue what the update is going to be changing though. Vince said on steam that the update is mainly going to expand dialogues, exploration, and shit, see:

However, sometimes, the developers sneak in some new content like a combat encounter or some new loot that I've never seen before. So I'm looking forward to it. If not for the fact that it's a new update but because it gives me an excuse to go back and replay Colony Ship again for the millionth time. I really love the game as well as the fact that I just absolutely cherish the Iron Tower as a Studio - their professionalism towards their fans, their dedication to listening to our feedback, they're all admirable people, sincerely. Iron Tower is one of the good ones. They made me very happy as an RPG fan throughout the Colony Ship's development.

I also secretly wish they'd up Faythe's Con score so I can have more build ideas to play with - I've exhausted every build idea on her after a thousand hours.

After that I'll probably be going back to playing the same game that I've been playing for years now: Vermintide 2 - I've managed to entrench myself in some hardcore communities that do crazy ass runs like Onslaught Deathwish, see:




I've done some crazy twitch runs with a few friends that I've made in said community too.

Besides that, I'll be playing that Witchfire game, it's super fun if you're either a Vermintide fan or a Dark Fantasy fan. As someone who has accumulated over two thousand hours in Vermintide throughout the years Witchfire just feels like a natural transition to me. I'm currently at Gnosis 4 just doing runs 'n shit:


Another thing that I love about Witchfire is the developers, just like the Iron Tower, they are very professional towards their fans, they do monthly blogs about their development, and overall they're just good honest peoples - which I like.

Anyways back to the topic at hand: in regards to Veilguard, man, I'm just here to shitpost whilst laughing at it. Just because someone shit talks a game doesn't necessarily mean they're actually interested in playing it. Mass Effect Andromeda was a game I memed a lot on 4chan but I never played it because why would I.

Thanks for the Witchfire heads up

When a game is ostensibly really, really bad, I do not play it. Have never played Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Starfield etc. and will not play this either, just like I won't touch Avowed or Bloodlines 2. Will I watch some reviews mocking it? Yes. Will I shitpost about the game without having had played it? Of course. Will I laugh at everyone who actually paid money to legally purchase a modern video game in the current year? Sure.

Pretty sure no one is going to bother cracking this turd's denuvo. Which is how you know that anyone who claims to play this game "for free" will be a lying biowhore enabler.
Nevermind, I guess this shit has no denuvo. Feel free to lie about pirating it, biocucks!

I played Origins, 2 and Inquisition.
Ironically, the one I think about the most is 2, because it has some choices that let you be positively evil. I made the elf girl kill her entire tribe with lots of blood everywhere.
Inquisition was a fucking chore, and it's like 150 hours long. Out of those, around 100 are busywork (not kidding) and they also did this jrpg shit where you had to read external material to get the happenings, and what's worse, that was needed so you could understand the developments during their flagship section, the ball dance quest.

All games have their shitty parts. The fact that your save won't matter kinda killed all my desire to play the game even though they made the biggest cliffhanger of all time. Good luck making a sequel for a game that's 10 years old, bitches.

I'm still not 100% on it, but I'm kind of leaning towards vidya unironically being worse than pornography.

Bioware have made it very clear Veilguard is not made for me, which is fine. My only interest is in seeing if the market treats it like other recent shoo-ins that turned out to be flops, and whether there's a shift in an industry currently held together by duct tape and gaslighting. I just don't see how it's possible for Veilguard to make the money it needs from the audience its targeting. We're talking about a project that's been in development for nearly 10 years, with a budget well into the hundreds of millions, that has been through a revolving door of key staff. Anything less than a sales-smashing cultural landmark isn't going to cut it.

No because
  1. I haven't played any Dragon Age.
  2. I don't play games out of order, for the most part.
  3. It doesn't look like something that would appeal to me.

I haven't played AAA games in years and definitely NOT going to start it again with this one.
