Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard - coming October 31st

[Bulo]

2009
You buy a new game because the trailer was packed with violence and sex appeal. The game then surprises you with an intriguing political plot, a setting that is less derivative than it appears initially, and generally competent character work

2024
You buy a new game because you agree with its advertised identity politics. It's unremarkable at every turn, but you're obliged to pretend that it's the best thing you've ever had the joy of experiencing, because you play games as a matter of social compliance (and to get involved in some nauseating Twitter romance gossip). That, or you just have fucking abysmal standards

They also pajeetified the oversexualized latina while giving her a breast reduction surgery.

Isn't everything you see in DA2 supposed to come from Varric's oversexed memory / imagination anyway?

That only applies to first 5 minutes. She also looks the same in tie-in comics and even in Inquisition(she was added to multiplayer).

 

[Child of Malkav]

The game is DRM free.

And it will not affect sales.

What did ShillUp say that got him banned on Retardera? I'm out of the loop. Always thought they guy is a retard, but might reconsider if he said something based.

ShillUp's review is non-ironically the best one on the internet so far. He absolutely reams the Troonguard in all the places that matter for a BW game - writing, characters, story, pulling absolutely no punches.

I did NOT expect this, I thought he was your cookie cutter access "journalist" but... he clearly isn't? For an access Toober shitting all over this game would be like CNN trying to sink Kamala's run. I'm so confused now.

I hope no one here on this prestigious website actually bought this game. That money is supposed to be used for Cleaveland's new game.

The game is DRM free.

Nice try, trannyalot.

 

[countrydoctor]

So pretty much everything verifiable in the "veilguard playtester" video turned out to be true, including literal nonbinary shit preached by one of the characters and my-face-is-tired tier facial animations.

[Storyfag]

I just can’t wrap my head around all this tranny and pronouns shit being front and center in this game. How the fuck did we get to this point?

Divine Hadrian was not thorough enough.

Well optimized at launch!

I do remember he was pretty much the only access media guy who gave Last of Us 2 the reeming it deserved.

He's Australian. Their stunted brains and overexposure to UV rays lend them a small natural immunity to American hyper-liberalism

 

[Herumor]

I listened a bit to that Skill Up video, and at one point he brings up the lack of DRM on the game makes it easier for game conservation, but really, the only reason why anyone would ever conserve this game is for it to serve as a warning.

Also, that part where he says that every interaction/dialogue sounds like there's HR in the room with the characters is such a fantastic way to describe how lifeless it all feels without going too much into detail about it.

Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Guise you should all buy the game just so you can review-bomb it on Steam. This will show dem Libs!

 

[Storyfag]

Having perused through a lot of reviews, my suspicions seem to be confirmed: DATV is a bad Dragon Age game, but a good Mass Effect game with fantasy coat.

Since I always loved ME, buying this can't hurt either.

For the uninitiated newfags, the gentlemanperson on this little smiley: is @Wirdschowerdn's, or as he xir is better known Morgoth's, old avatar.

Accept it. Xir cannot help xir nature. Xir will do it.

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

The graph radically exaggerates the scale of the decline by chopping off most of the Y-axis. It's a standard technique for misrepresenting statistics. This is a drop of less than 1%. It's noise.

The game looks terrible. It deserves to fail in the marketplace. But this graph is evidence of nothing.

What means "HR in the room"?

 

[MerchantKing]

What means "HR in the room"?

I believe it's "Homosexual retard in the room"

 

[Swen]

What means "HR in the room"?

Human Relations

 

[Pink Eye]

What means "HR in the room"?

It means you can't say anything negative else you lose your job. HR is the corpo commissar.

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

What means "HR in the room"?

It's a way of saying people are talking as though they fear that anything they say that could conceivably offend a California leftist will get them fired.

 

[Bulo]

What means "HR in the room"?

One of the roles of "human resources" departments is to smooth over employee relations. They generally do this by sacking any employee that they deem especially problematic, which intimidates every other employee in turn, and instils in them a "keep your head down and never do or say anything that could risk coming across as insensitive or controversial" attitude. No sharp edges. Rounded corners, padded surfaces, soft colours, everything in low contrast, zero stimulation

[Dark Souls II]

In Morrowind there would be different food items arranged differently on each of the 3 plates, instead of 3 identical plates. Why didn't they get any bread? Why don't they have anything to drink? And why the fuck are these candles just standing there directly on the table? Again, this is from Morrowind:
