Oh I'm definitely not buying this, but I will play it for free just to see how bad it's gotten
I'm genuinely curious
Except denuvo. So you're definitely buying this and then lying about playing it "for free".
Why not just watch a streamer play it? You can have your cake and eat it too.
You don't spend any money, you know what happens in the game and you get extra content for free.
You could play it for 17€ via that EA Pro Sub.

A more accurate analogy would be that this is a disease infecting a patient and I'm curious what kind of disease it is and how advanced it is
The patient can't be saved but maybe the disease can be prevented from infecting others...

The clown world moved so much to the left in gaming, DA:O became conservative and right-wing and you're a literal Nazi and a culture war tourist for liking it and hating DA2/DA:I.

Hot take: this franchise was never good.
Honestly, mainstream games for me are dying. I got curious and went to look at my Steam account to see what the last games I bought were, and they were Dwarf Fortress and Chained Echoes, in January 2023. That is, I'm going to complete 2 years without buying anything new, and if you're looking for "big" games, the last one was Elden Ring in November 2022.
Being totally honest, part of this is because the value of games is absurd where I live. I would probably have bought Black Myth: Wukong this year if the launch price wasn't so absurd, but anyway, I don't think it would count as a game from the same hivemind/group. I have no idea when the last game I bought from Bioware, Bethesda, Ubisoft, or any of these big Western developers was.
It's obvious that I don't have any illusions that I'm not part of the general public of these companies (and I don't intend to be), but with the increasing number of failures and backlash that has emerged in the last 2 years, I wouldn't be surprised or sad if big publishers went through a major crisis. Not even engines are escaping this kind of problem, with Godot now having a fork after the Twitter moderator had an existential crisis and blocked half of the users and several developers who actively donated to its development (the most entertaining social suicide to see in recent days).
Essentially, DAV is going to be another one of those games where the discussion surrounding it will be much more entertaining and engaging than the game itself. It already is, by the way.

So you inject yourself with the disease. Brilliant.

The Overton Window is broken. Someone threw a brick through it and now all we get is hilarity.
2024 is like The Onion but real.

Technically, DAO feels like a fascist game compared to today standarts: Women that look like women, no transexual, racism, mostly hetero talk, no multikulti representation...
Fascism means nothing. The term has gotten so diluted that when you hear it, you just think: "Oh, so it's not filled with gays, trannies and shoehorned in minorities"
You won't. Apparently Denuvo isn't being cracked anymore for some reason, it was already dire last year but this year not a single Denuvo crack yet.
Whoever was doing the cracking, seems they got to them.

This last one gets me:
I wonder if that homosexual Gaider knows that people think he's a sexist. Hmm, I wonder how quick they'll devour his ass for wrong think when they realize he wrote Origins after that dumb ass tweet he made where he said Dragon Age was always woke or some dumb shit. The radical left loves swallowing their own.

I'm genuinely curious to see how well this sells. We are in a patch of time where very high profile video games, movies, and tv series are imploding in ways never thought possible. Stuff that had serious investment money placed into it. That gives me a morbid fascination about it. Maybe it will do well somehow.
Same. Halloween can't come early enough.
Yet still, I can't bring myself to replay it because of the all the cut and half-assed stuff in it.
