Concord was the biggest flop in gaming history. It doesn't need to be Concord bad for the game to be considered a flop. One thing that set Concord apart as a flop was live service. Those games are going to flop harder because gamers need to be motivated to move on from their old live service game to the new one. For a single player RPG, that barrier isn't there.
Yeah, this genre was the first to succumb to woke faggotry. This is why i now prefer tactical games, less story the better. Because story in rpgs usually written by tranny or some inane femoid with dog fucking fantasy.
It really is shocking to nobody that well thought out documentary would make money. Same goes for fiction. Just stick to the basics and you can't possibly go wrong.
While I agree that DA:O isn't some masterpiece, you are forgetting to mention the one thing about it that WAS groundbreaking, which was the inclusion of the backstories. The first chapter of the game, completely different for each character background? That was and still is extremely impressive, especially considering that those backstories and the characters met during them remained relevant throughout the game, changing how you interacted with things and what you could do.
I think the journos, devs, EA, and others are making this game their hill to die on. They want to save woke gaming after the recent huge failures, and if this fails, it takes a lot of others with it. So we are getting headlines and buzz before release. They are talking about or mocking it everywhere. It's too late to turn back now.
I think 4. I don't know what this game's development budget is but if it's high I would go with 4. If star wars outlaws can flop so can this.
The coomer tax
Quite balanced take but I think 4 is far more likely. There's just isn't much there, as you yourself said, for mainstream audience. The action gameplay looks weak, lackluster. No innovations whatsoever also. The graphics don't tickle imagination, rather look dated and derivative. The cast is too unappealing, freakishly looking therefore minimal bait for the "thirsty" (which is a fatal mistake). The writing, the setting is also nothing mind-blowing and the old fanbase isn't quite there anymore, too. This shit won't meet the mark I'm sure. That said, it's unlikely bomb hard enough too, unfortunately. Fingers crossed though.
Let's take baldurs gay 3 for example. By far the most romanced companion was shadowtits. So the majority of players are still dudes who want attractive female party members and romance options. Larian is smart enough to realize that and made SH one of the primary characters they marketed. What characters is veilguard marketing?
It doesn't matter how hard they shill it, it won't be successful. There's nothing about the game that looks appealing, nothing cool to make one decide "yeah, I wanna buy this." The only thing the trailers highlighted was degeneracy, and the fact it's supposed to finish the story or whatever. Problem is, neither of those two is going to provide much of a pull for anyone outside of the biodrone core. Wokery is being proven to be a negative that only gets a pass if the gameplay is good, and that's not the case here, clearly. Continuing DA is like... how many people outside of the biodrone core actually give a shit? The story after DA:O has been garbage in both DA2 and DAI, and honestly, I don't even remember it.
I wanted 5 of course but considering the amount of shilling I am seeing for this game I think 2 is the most likely. A lot of journos/etc are using this to push for more faggy stuff in video games, culturally they cant let this thing fail.
Mainstream media can only do so much. The shilling is crazy though and they all pretty much use the exact same talking points
You’d be surprised how much denial this caused when these stats were released.
BioWare had hot Leliana and Morrigan in the DA:O trailer and game. They also based them on real life hot models and had Maxim write a story about them.
