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

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.

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?

Nailed it. Putting political tropes in a long lead project is dangerous, but when you live in a bubble and assume your definition of "righteousness" will endure. there's no fixing it. I will enjoy watching this POS crash and burn.

There is a "gaming journalists" discord, and they talk to each other.

If there is really such thing why we didn't infiltrate these cucks long ago? Strict verification? Do they require real life id/passport/photo or what?

 

[HumanTotemPole]

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.

You misunderstand, I love Proper's art too. It's genuine outsider art made earnestly, somebody expressing his desire to create and communicate something from a totally atypical perspective. I actually find that one rendering of a woman he did pretty affecting in the context of his postings over the years, a desire for intimacy that he couldn't fulfil.

What I'm getting at is the professionals who made this DA4 shit are getting very close to recreating a style that is conventionally ugly and unsettling but are convinced they're making "10/10 smokeshows"

He keeps going on that and i ask myself: has this guy ever see an actual porn site? Plenty of every kind of shape and age, plenti of trans - there are fetishes for mutilations for fuck sake. Is he basing his ideas of "incels" and "porn" on 80's the porn videotapes of his parents or what?

Veilguard pushes the politics he agrees with. Therefore he's obliged to praise and defend it.

Not only are those not incompatible, but it is likely they are both true. In this as in other cases.

Also, attractive people were utilized in media hundreds of years before the internet was invented. Turns out people don't normally like glorifying ugliness.

 

[Elttharion]

Dont you just love being lectured about female beauty by a troon and a faggot?

Video game devs are probably the most cliquish faggots in existence. I personally find it difficult to think of a more pathetic sight than seeing them interact with each other on twitter.
Indie devs aren't excluded from this btw, they'll retweet other indie devs as if they were a bunch of homosexuals.
Yes, even Styg.

 

[aweigh]

Sad part is Gaider was a better writer than any of the woke ones we have writing games today.

It's been a while since I've seen this image. Can't believe that these were the good days for the RPGs.

 

[Cryomancer]

For the BG3 hates that gave the lowest possible score to BG3. How would you hate this game?

 

[jaekl]

About the same, along with pathfinder wotr - 0/10. Too gay, too cringe, can't even watch 10 minutes of footage without having blackouts from the pain. Would rather watch the hallmark channel and that's one of my worst nightmares.

That meme qunari with the Robert Z'Dar jawline and bitch-tits looks like a really gay Baphomet. Incidentally -

Baphomet is a deity that the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping. that subsequently became incorporated into various occult and Western esoteric traditions. The name Baphomet appeared in trial transcripts for the Inquisition of the Knights Templar starting in 1307. It first came into popular English usage in the 19th century during debate and speculation on the reasons for the suppression of the Templar order. Baphomet is a symbol of balance in various occult and mystical traditions, the origin of which some occultists have attempted to link with the Gnostics and Templars, although occasionally purported to be a deity or a demon. Since 1856 the name Baphomet has been associated with the "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Éliphas Lévi, composed of binary elements representing the "symbolization of the equilibrium of opposites": half-human and half-animal, male and female, and good and evil. Lévi's intention was to symbolize his concept of balance, with Baphomet representing the goal of perfect social order.

I find this connection amusing, considering how the qunari race and social structure got diluted and made relatively harmless. Neutered, actually.

I'm sure they know that there's plenty of "niche" porn, but it's the average likes of hetero men that both bug and puzzle these types, because of their politics and because they can't relate to heteros. Their only emotional tie to traditional female beauty is the purely platonic aestheticism, and so deconstructing this standard becomes even easier from their ideological standpoint. Traditional female beauty is of great importance to them because it entails a demand from an oppressor class, directed towards a class that stands below.

It's 2 blind men talking about colors.

How does it even make sense to hate others for liking to look at hot women in games?
None of the females in games are real. They are just a bunch of pixels.
There are no women being hurt, no victims, nobody to save, nothing.
It clearly is just about hating you as a player for being able to recognize beauty and not following in line with the leftist group think that goes against nature and reality.

Their mindset can be summarized in viewing everything in oppressor X oppressed lens, hence sexuality for the "oppressors" is should be shamed and is not allowed. Sexuality for the "oppressed" should be worshiped. Simple as that. You would find the same ideology applied to different groups in Maoist China, Mao Tse Tung divided people in "reds" and "blacks" during its cultural revolution.

This marxist view is why they for eg, shame attractive female characters and worship bear sex in BG3.

Yeah, it's literally the rule of minority, and not just any minority, it's the most retarded, mentally ill and insufferable minority.
In other words it is idiocracy.

Even the "oppressed vs oppressor" lens is granting their worldview too much validity. It's just genetic defects taking out their frustration on healthier and happier people. They should have been cast from the Spartan cliffs as infants.

In addition to what others said already, ask Nutmeg about the fine nuances of political art. A stroke of the brush is never just a stroke of the brush.

 

[Thalstarion]

They're communists. They should not be treated like actual people and instead as members of a hive mind death cult. They exist solely to destroy beauty in all forms.

It isn't just video games. It's everything. Movies. Museums. Architecture. Nature.

They're the sort of spiteful, brainwashed mutants who will look at a photograph of the British countryside and sneer about how there's plenty of room for more grey concrete buildings to house the imported third world. Rather than, you know, appreciating how serene and beautiful the countryside can be.

When you look at it like that, it makes a lot more sense. You can concede absolutely nothing to these people as they will constantly find ways to subvert everything and anything.

 

[aweigh]

they call it "dismantling heteronormative standards of beauty" or something like that

 

[Space Satan]

Oh hell, are you kidding me? Gaider made EXACTLY the same thing people mocked his on bioware social network, what, like, 10? 15 years ago? He lost composure and gone on a schoolboy level rant on his customers with masss banning spree but now he lack ban tool and he just...run away?
Geez, what could change the nature of a manlet?
