Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Thalstarion]

I don't understand why Gaider is choosing to die on the hill of defending Veilguard, lots of people who are criticizing how this game looks loved the earlier Dragon Age games, even Inquisition, and if Veilguard goes tits up it looks great for him since it'll seem like he was the one holding it all together until he left. Even he said that Bioware didn't treat their writers very well when he was there (and then fired a bunch of senior writers after he left), he has no reason to be loyal to them now that they're going to run roughshod over something that he helped create.

Dragon Age is the only point of relevance he has left. Without it he's nothing.

It must be some sort of mid life crisis. It's really strange to see fifty year old men whining on social media about 'chuds' and 'incels' as if either term has any weight to it in this day and age. I guess when someone's claim is a tired franchise that only had one legitimately good entry and then devolved into a dysgenic romance simulator it's hard for these individuals not to tie everything back to sex, somehow.

I'd say it's childless behavior, but a lot of them do have families. Must be some sort of thing whites like to do these days.

It's the same as C/B list actors behaving like absolute dipshits on social media. They are doing it to virtual signal to their peers even if it makes them look bad to the public.

Heh.

Old cringe habits never die

Infinitron Twiglard Why doesn't Codex have a built in feature to share Webms directly? 4chan, a few years ago, recently implemented that feature to just drag and drop a webm and it makes it so much easier to upload webms. Using a third party is just clunky for me.

What's wrong with that guy's face? He looks like he's got shaggy tape over his mouth.

Bad animations aside, aren't krogan supposed to headbutt each other? Why kickboxing?

They either forgot krogan lore or "forgot", i.e decided to not include headbutting because it simulates a type of street violence that's nearly taboo in some regions (UK). Androgynomeda is a severely Disneyfied setting in itself, so maybe that was the reason. It was too edgy.

'P' is for pedo btw. Got to think about the future.

Could be some kind of tribal loyalty, and maybe he wants to appear as some kind of big daddy faery godfather to the new kids at Bioware. Or...

... his current partner is severely into identity politics and thus Gaider needs to simp online to keep him happy. Could be as simple as your basic fear, even. You know how bloodthirsty those cultists can get, many of them are legit psychotic. Gaider may not be relevant anymore, but he probably doesn't want to get canceled either.

Gaider has always been a diva who spergs out and overreacts. Should have seen some of his old BSN posts. At this point he’s just clinging to relevance because despite having separated from BioWare years ago he’s still known as the Dragon Age guy and that’s all he’ll ever be known for because all his other projects are garbage.

Also that fat fuck Weekes also chimed in on this discourse with his usual revisionism about the older games and that the women in Veilguard are 10/10 models in his eyes.

He should consider it a blessing. Imagine being remembered for Stray Gods...

She's about as modded as a coomer's Skyrim waifu, though. Solarium, facial structure, lip fillers, etc...

But won't he always remain the "Dragon Age guy" because of Origins and maybe DA2? Being critical of Veilguard wouldn't change that in the majority's eyes. Everyone except these revisionists can admit that there's a wide cultural chasm between those two and the two that came after.

Maybe he hopes to return to Bioware and doesn't want to burn any bridges.

It's not like he enjoyed success after leaving the company.

This. Being successful in the industry is all about maintaining your connections and being with the "in" crowd. This is why everyone sucks each other's cocks and why Twitter looks like high school for gamedevs.

 

[The people of Duckburg]

Veilguard pushes the politics he agrees with. Therefore he's obliged to praise and defend it. I really don't think there has to be any reason beyond that. Both sides of modern American politics do this, and especially the left. You can see this tribal behavior with any game that clearly aligns with that political side. Look at journalists spinning the narrative that Concord was a wonderful game that fell victim to a hate campaign, or how they're all defending the upcoming Assassin's Creed, for two recent examples.

There is a downside to that - these industry leaders appear to have believed the market would be accepting and completely woke at this time. That's why I'm guessing there have been so many catastrophic failures - these games take a long time to make, and there may have been an assumption 3-5 years ago the ticket to big, big sales was a diverse staff and ugly troon chars. It became part of the design and it's shown to have missed the mark. Biggly!

David Gaider is way off the mark on where your head should be at to produce a big seller. He's doubling down on what worked in the distant past, but its obvious his mindset is not in line with what sells. Some studio hires him, they'll get what isn't working now. Who would want that, as from all his online postings he seems unable to correct his approach?

wtf is that fruity shuffle he's doing? lol

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

It somehow looks worse than Inquisition

 

[Shaja]

Bad animations aside, aren't krogan supposed to headbutt each other? Why kickboxing?

That was Bioware from 2016, they don´t know about the previous games and lore.

Looks like history repeats itself then as the current team seem to know fuckall about Origins.

If only they knew that they're getting so close to crossing the Prosperine event horizon at this point. Even the non-meme Qunari shown have that distinctly uncanny look about them.

Dunno about the 10/10 especially I suspect in true IRL but be real here lads - has plenty about enough her that at least once wouldn't be a trial.

Regardless, more on topic, Davy G and other's public meltdowns over the negative reception of the DA4 preview material shows how far gone they are. Can't understand their position in culture as dominant default corpo garbage that their main market is now rebelling against. Niche identity mobilisation as a political and cultural tool has always had a reality problem when absolute numbers of a chosen identity are low. Only mechanism left to buttress it becomes elite enforcement, which most outside the elite group perceive readily given time. Davy and the gang remain stuck inside their bubble.

 

[Castozor]

I won't have you lot despoil Prosper's legacy like that. His art I could and still appreciate, Veilguard is just gay troon shit with no redeeming qualities.
