The dragon age character creator preview in IGN has 15k dislikes to 4k likes.
What do you think? Will they quickly add more ass and booba or will they hold their ground and let the ship sink without trying to patch the holes?
They'll die on this hill and I think it's incredible brave of them :greatjob:

Do we know if there are any hot women you can Romance? I mean like Isabela in DA2, Viconia in BG or Josephine in DA:I
Hot women like Josephine? Really?

And while DA2 Isabella was decent eye candy she's literally a walking petri dish of STDs. You need better standards man.
Oh come on, DAI at least had Cassandra..
how-to-romance-cassandra-in-dragon-age-inquisition.png

She way better looking than anything in Veilguard and this comes from someone that hated Inquisition.
I like Cassandra for the simple fact that she makes those obsessed with gay romances in game (so majority of BioWare’s fanbase at this point) seethe because she’s unapologetically straight.
That'll probably never exist again. Every RPG party member post bg3 must be a pansexual weirdo.
Yeah I’ve noticed a huge uptick of the “just make everyone pansexual” crowd over the past year.

I love the hypocrisy though. These people only come out when a character is straight. Cyberpunk is a good example of this. People who want to fuck Panam as a female character constantly cry about it and get support from this crowd. Yet the second someone wants to fuck Judy with a male character they get labeled all kinds of names for wanting to change a fictional character’s orientation.

2024 will be the end of this woke shit. All these high profile bombs are going to cause an immediate course correction once the publishers realize the woke shit they were sold on after the 'summer of love' in 2020 was a bunch of horseshit.

No, don't course correct yet!! More people need to lose their jobs and more companies have to go bankrupt. :bounce:

That will be the course correction. These idiots will get fired and go out of business and be replaced with people that created games, gamers wanna buy. You can't expect this filth to create anything good, they are creativly and morally bankrupt. So first the market will correct itself and remove them. Expect a lot of twitter tranny tears in the process.

He is back, shitting on the game.

Servant of Nurgle ousting Slaaneshi cultists))


The worst thing about these streamers/youtubers is that they will buy the game, even if it is trash, instead of pirate it first :thwack:

In business, it means that if customers buy the game anyway and there is a good profit, we can release whatever we want. Or, similar to risk management, accept the risk, even if we incur losses, as it is more economical that rectify any perceived risks.

Few streamers buying the game won't affect the sales much. They need millions of sales just to break even.

What I find hilarious is the bonus that they've picked for the deluxe edition. Even if someone is going to buy the game, how many would pay 20 extra for some lame cosmetics that aren't even particularly good looking? Lul.

It would be funny if they locked big tits and ass behind the deluxe edition instead.

It's not so much that they want to avoid objectification. They do that, quite openly. The issue is a staggering amount of people these days in the industry are prone to autogynephilia and so the aesthetics and character designs reflect that.

These people aggressively radicalise each other until everything they do revolves around subversion.

At this point the entire industry needs a hard reset and society at large requires a purge of unhinged ideologues and subversives. We're arguably seeing the former happening though not as quickly as I would like. The latter will inevitably come just like it always has throughout the other periods of human history when these nutters gained power and pushed too far. If only because their goals are simply not at all sustainable in reality.
It's the reverse IMHO.

The larger society needs to change first; entertainment (and politics) is downstream from that.

As I mentioned in a previous post about GenZ, a lot of this is demographics. The demographics and attitudes of young people in North America and even Europe has drastically changed over past several decades.

Hell, even Japan (especially among the youth) is dramatically different from what it was in the 1980s for example.

Younger customers are who companies and advertisers target. They see us old farts as living on borrowed time.

What do you think causes society at large to change? It's the man on the screen telling them what's normal.
