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

[AwesomeButton]

before all the propaganda shit, the first think I did notice about the game was the horrible graphics. It's so outdated.

It's a new version of Frostbite, isn't it? Look at facial animations in Battlefield 4 (2013) single player, and you'll see it's not the engine's fault.

 

[solemgar]

So, how does it compare to origins?

 

[Storyfag]

This is what happens when shiteaters buy shit with bear sex, you get even more shit.

No, this where woketards get a demonstration that it was not the bear sex that made the good sales numbers.

One they will fail to understand.

That's why I corrected my post soon after posting.

Well religion study is basically literature and philosophy, so I am still on your ass. But yes, I am being a bit autistic about it, carry on.

Humanities should never have entered universities.

The earliest universities are either european guild schools combining a few guilds, or islamic schools, and both included religion as the main thing being taught.
Also all schools at all times taught law, at the very least the law which has to do with the craft you are learing.

I did a law degree at a decent UK university a while back, and I came out borderline communist. Law is not immune from the cancer. In fact it's worse, because those people go on to be judges (see: far left judiciaries all across Europe, especially in the supranationals).

Holy fck that's gold

 

[Jorus]

MORE Taash wankery holy shit... my poor heart can't handle this nonsense.

 

[Morgoth]

Literature and psychology should never have entered universities.

The very hollowing out of these subjects over the decades by libertarian grifters led to your dreaded "Purple Age" in the first place.

Guys lets not kid ourselves. If this is in the steam top sellers at 2nd place they ll turn a profit. This is just pteorders and only steam. The market has accepted it. Look forward to this degree of wokeism in most upcoming games. Well at least we all have our huge backlog that we wasted our money for years on.

or just don't play AAA garbage.

 

[damager]

Dude they developed this for like 10 years. They probably spend 100+ million again on this shit. They have to do better than outsell CS2 skins for a day...

 

[Asymptotics]

or just don't play AAA garbage.

Agree. We should all move on to AAAA gaming - where the extra A really provides the quality that AAA was missing.

 

[damager]

A for extra ass

Let's be perfectly clear, there's exactly 0 chance this thing is profitable. It's been in development for a decade and at some point completely overhauled from a live service bullshit to the Trannarchist's Cookbook it is today. They're not selling enough copies to cover all these salaries alone, not to mention the budget plus marketing.

Now, chances are it won't be a Concord or Unknown 9 level flop. It's more a question of if it's going to follow Starfield and its yuge hype, big opening sales and then universal hatred, or SW: Outlaws that "underperforms" by barely selling a couple millions and scuttling the studio.

And don't be mislead by the pre-order numbers. The real indicator will be next Monday when we see Steam's peak concurrent numbers after the opening weekend. Only then we'll know for sure just how big a failure this is.

AA and indie games will have this too.

And Japanese games as well.

There's no escape.

No way it's as low as 100 million. Didn't BG3 take 100 million and that was an actual independent company that spent most of that on upscaling. Slopware is owned by EatAss now, so 100M barely covers the 9 different CEO salaries over the last 9 years.

Chinese games and Russian games (Owlcat doesn't count) are safe. You just need the next CCP or Russian-state stamped game for the "no poz allowed".

"My ship ran out of stamina" LOL

 

[damager]

Ofc there is escape. Just play some game from some single chud developer like Stygiansoft or the recent "Skald: Against the Black Priory". It was the only games that delivered anyway in the last 10 years. Just don't let women develope your games basically.

Go play Demon's Winter, then. The end slides doesn't even acknowledge your preference. Everyone's male. End of story.

It's EASILY more than 200+ million, also don't forget the marketing budget.


I would be astonished if this game even breaks even.

 

[dbx]

Lol, holy shit these people truly have no real friend.
These scene does not represent a meeting with friends, just the average interactions between work colleagues at the company bar.
With HR in the room.

 

[Van-d-all]

The only issue with whether it will flop is, do players have their own taste and can actually tell the reviews were shilled when playing the game and react to being scammed, or will they just gobble the slop like it's advertised.

 

[Fedora Master]

You can’t simplify things or look for easy answers

Yes one can.

Also: Whose alt are you?

And breaking even while working under EA is a clear indication that you're just a waste of space.

They make 1bil+ profit A FUCKING YEAR from recycled hotdog water like Madden. Sims somehow still gets over 15mil NEW players in a year. If this source is to be believed.

No way breaking even under EA with a team of 200 trannies will be enough. They need this slop to be big - VERY big.
