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

[Elttharion]

Unlike Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which hits shops later this week, Mass Effect 5 will not seek to tweak the sci-fi franchise's established visual style, he said.

"Mass Effect is photorealistic and will be as long as I'm running it," Gamble wrote in a post on X.

"Both are from the studio, but Mass Effect is Mass Effect. How you bring a sci-fi RPG to life is different than other genres or IPs," he continued, "and has to have different kinds of love."

As for Mass Effect 5's tone, Gamble wrote it would "maintain the mature tone of the original Trilogy. This is all I'm going to say for now."

Sounds like a subtle dig towards Vileguard.

Hercules was far less serious than Xena. That kind of Aphrodite vs Nemesis cat fights is right up the series' alley.

Yes, Xena was a very serious series.

BTW

What a bzzarre fetish channel

Less serious does not mean that Xena is as serious as the Joker.

That’s an episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

Ah, yes. Kingdom Come 2: Revenge of Chuds. Cumming soon all over this retarded industry

Safeguarded by Denuvo(tm)!

You can choose an ultra-based, old skool RPG with Denuvo crammed in by a retarded publisher....

...or a Denuvo-less video game equivalent of a university safe room stocked with plush toys, hot chocolate and vegan ice cream.

Discuss!

Speaking of The Cringer 3:

In SEA region game is no 4 top seller now just under MH Wilds (CoD Black Ops and CS are no 1 and 2).

Unfortunate that the game is even doing this good, the reviews must be working

You have to consider that console kiddies take everything they can get because they don't have anything else to play.

This just shows you that Bioware's fanbase was just as bad as it is today. This is closer to the gigglesquee category though.

It is a paedophile mod. What did you guys expect???

That has to be a mod, I don't recall any of that crap.

 

[d1r]

Jesus christ guys. How new are you? This is the Saerilith mod.

 

[Tyranicon]

The NDA situation is hilarious.

Oh no, not your reputation with game publishers!!!!1

Actual sheeple are angry that a megacorp like EA couldn't more effectively sculpt the pre-launch image of this nuke of a game.

People are actually mad that some unedited footage of the game was released before launch.

There's corpo dick sucking and then there's whatever this is.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

That's what I meant. Saerileth's mod is legendary now, but even in the Black Isle forums, Bioware fans were "special" like that.

 

[Lodis]

Now I see what Skillup meant by dialogue feeling like HR was always in the room. Can’t even kiss a bitch without asking for consent five times in the most spineless way possible.

rock. (A favorite of castle defenders, and available everywhere.)

The coolest parts of the Iliad are when dudes pick up boulders to throw at each other:

"Then Ajax lifted a huge stone from the ground,
black, rugged, and vast, which not two men, the strongest,
such as men now are, could easily have lifted;
but he raised it high with ease alone,
and hurled it with full force, striking Hector's shield."

Would be a cool concept in a game, a barbarian character picking rocks and stuff to just obliterate enemies with. But that would be cool, and one of the main tenets of modern game design is to always pick the absolutely least cool option possible.

in Baldur's gate 3 if you're strong enough you can pick up enemies to throw at other enemies

Yeah.
The one with The Sovereign (alternate dimension evil Hercules).

The backlash against this game is huge, even with normies.

I used one of my Alt Facebook accounts to post this in a JRPG shitposting group, and went to bed expecting it to get a handful of reactions and comments. Woke up and it's at nearly 3k reactions with mods turning the commenting off because there were so many backlashing against the game so quickly.

And those dislikes for the IGN review keep growing and growing...

 

[Stavrophore]

It's a fetish

 

[lvl 2 Blue Slime]

Damn, American libs are so terrified so decided to drop this a week before the election as propaganda.

BioWare trannies went after MattyP and he has responded

I think it goes without saying, but today has been an extremely hard day. I really appreciate your patience as I looked into things.First off, I would like to apologize to everyone at BioWare and EA. I have already reached out to them to let them know the truth. We already have plans to sit down and have a conversation about it. That is my gameplay. It was never my intention for clips of Dragon Age to get released ahead of the embargo lifting. I had shared these two clips of the game with an editor of mine. It is to my understanding that these clips were then taken, shared again, and went down the chain to someone far removed from the both of us who then posted them claiming to be associated with me. So, yes, the clips are mine. If BioWare, EA, or any other game company chooses to not work with me over this, then I fully understand and accept that. If you, the viewers of my content, choose not to trust me because you deem me irresponsible with the privilege I was given as a game reviewer, I also fully understand and accept that.With that said, it’s extremely important for me to firmly shut down one element of this narrative going around about me. Whoever shared these clips on X with the attached hateful comments and replies is NOT me. I have no clue who runs that account. They are most definitely not my friend and they stand against everything I believe in. I am only speculating, but I think whoever took my game footage and tweeted it as if they were connected with me was quite deliberate as it’s an easy way to paint me in a bad light. Beyond any guesses I may have, I would never leak my own footage on an alt account and then use that exact same footage in my review. Said account no longer exists and it is my understanding that it is because it was reported multiple times following the public ridicule it rightfully received. There's no room for that type of hate.It also needs to be said that I have not deleted any comments on my review. I believe as a consumer of media, you have a right to call someone out on bullshit or say what you feel. I do have preset words for my channel filters that fall under racist, homophobic, etc. terms that automatically get caught by YouTube’s moderation system, but that’s it. I know I can’t convince each and every one of you, but I do think you all deserve an explanation. At the end of the day, my circle of trust was breached and it was my fault for sending a clip in the first place.I’m deeply disheartened by the amount of people who believed that this Twitter account was me. I don’t expect blind loyalty yet it hurts to see just how quickly I was thrown under the bus. The sad reality of it all is the damage is done and many people have made up their minds about me today.Since I have started covering this game, many angry opinions have fallen in my lap. When I played the preview, I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a chance to interview the game’s director, Corinne Busche. On that video, people were sending hate my way because they wanted their opinions heard. Now, I have put out my honest and objective review and people are still unhappy with my personal opinion. It has always been my goal to deliver fair, honest coverage of video games and elevate the conversation, not fan the flames. I’m deeply sad that my clips have played into the detraction of a game that, as stated in my review, others may enjoy more than me. Looking at the OpenCritic score, I’m glad to see it is that way. It’s been a tough cycle for the folks at BioWare and to know I played a part in the pain of the developer who made my favorite games ever is a regret that I don’t think I will ever live down, even if people choose to forgive me.I want to thank my wife, my best friends, and my LSM family who hung with me and didn’t lose faith in me. The statements made about my character today have broken my heart into a million pieces. I don’t say that so you feel bad for me, I just feel it’s important to give my love to those who willingly stood by me in the face of all this. I know it wasn’t easy having your ethics in question just by being in my vicinity.Lastly, I am not going anywhere. I will be continuing to make content about games across MrMattyPlays, Retro Rebound, and Defining Duke. I will also continue to pretend I know what I’m talking about when it comes to movies on Retro Rewind. Hopefully, I will see you there. If not, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a good rest of your day.Stay sexy, stay active,Matty

Act Man chimes in

There is so much going on under the surface for everyone to be acting like this. This is up there with trying to explain why you fled the cult compound or why you betrayed Robespierre and the French revolutionaries

[Kiste]

Can I have my anus prolapsed by the massive cock of a pansexual shemale of color in this game? Asking for a friend.

 

[Gerrard]

Se people are now pretending that DA games weren't always filled with degeneracy and woke shit.

This is the same retarded argument troons and groomers use to defend Veilguard - "DA was always woke".

It's true though, it was always shit. The only thing that has changed is "the norms", DA (and Bioware) was always at the forefront of libtardology.
