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

Why contain it? I just want to see the industry burn

Go burn yourself. Don't forget to film it.

maybe articulate your issue instead of hit and running. You wont get banned here for having a different opinion than anyone else.

 

[taxalot]

So, between how many kind of genitalia can you choose ?

After watching Shill Up's review, I no longer want to play the game just to see how bad it is

Ironically, a lot of points Shill Up brings up remind me about Inquisition. A goodie two shoes protagonist who is always nice to everyone, "HR in the room" writing, damage sponge enemies, pretty but dull and directionless areas, i had absolutely the same pieces of criticism towards Inquisition a decade ago.
I guess this is one of the reasons why his review resonated with a lot of people.

How am I supposed to make sense of Chud hysteria? There's nothing to articulate. It's all just impotent rage driven by delusion.

That's fine for a purely tactical game, but certainly not an rpg.

Of course it's fine for a crpg. "Certainly" lol. While character reactivity can be properly done and add certain flair to the game (like it is indeed the case with SirTech titles), there are multiple crpgs where characters don't react to shit that dunk all over the abundant and ever-present "morrigan disapproves" inanity.

I liked the "rival" system in Dragon Age 2, very underrated and should be used more and improved upon in party-based RPGs,

It was a nice touch and a welcome break from the lovey-dovey merry band of brothers that we get as "party members" in most other RPGs.

No. It was gay and stupid.
It's just the standard stupid approval system with a small change.

Friendship - My friend, I will stand by your side!
Neutral - Fuck you, I'm switching sides.
Rival - I don't agree with you, but I respect you. I will stand by your side!

Such an improvement. They just switched neutral approval with a negative one.

Maybe Bioware is a big fan of Book of Revelation.
“'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."

You should read your Bible every day fellas, there's all kind of crazy shit in it.

It was worse than that. The "agree to disagree" thing would actually be quite interesting, but in reality the 90% of "rival" options were simply being jerk for no reason.
So to actually go into the rival path you had to game the system from the start: I know this character will do something I'll not agree with in the mid-game, so I'm going to harass him from the start to get enough points for the rivalry, duh.
Imho the best dialog systems are those that don't try to categorise player choices into some superficial psycho tests, since they always turn out to be too gamy & limiting, and fail at properly defining the personalities anyway.

Woke up today to find out Mortismal deleted a bunch of critical comments under his video - most VERY mild from what I was yesterday.

Man, what a fall from grace.

Oh? Any example which is also not a 35+ years old dungeon crawler or a retroclone of those?

So did Mortismal.

Once upon a time, the Codex ridiculed DA2's "wanna ride the bull" lines.

Ahh simpler times...

Are you trying to look like a fucking retard or is it accidental?

We should set on fire this gaslighter. Xer and this evil, retarded gaming industry. Watching you burn will be as fun as playing games from pre-2012, when WOKE went mainstream

Truth is: we don't need you. We don't need WOKE in our lives nor do we proselytize to you. We can and will build Gaming Industry 2.0. With juicy tits, roulette and ZERO WOKE. Get fucked & rekt, imbecile

ONE GOOD RPG WITH HIGH PRODUCTIONS, GOOD STORY, BELIEVABLE WORLD, SEXY WOMEN AND GOOD GAMEPLAY. ONE HIGH PRODUCTION NON-WOKE RPG

Ah, yes. Kingdom Come 2: Revenge of Chuds. Cumming soon all over this retarded industry

 

[Dark Souls II]

rock. (A favorite of castle defenders, and available everywhere.)

The coolest parts of the Iliad are when dudes pick up boulders to throw at each other:

"Then Ajax lifted a huge stone from the ground,
black, rugged, and vast, which not two men, the strongest,
such as men now are, could easily have lifted;
but he raised it high with ease alone,
and hurled it with full force, striking Hector's shield."

Would be a cool concept in a game, a barbarian character picking rocks and stuff to just obliterate enemies with. But that would be cool, and one of the main tenets of modern game design is to always pick the absolutely least cool option possible.

 

[Yosharian]

Yeah Mort is getting a lot of push back, maybe the world is sane after all

So he's not just cutely retarded. There's thought and agenda behind his actions. Ok, unsubbed from that traitor. Used to watch his videos muted, just for first footage

The only decent content creators are the ones not getting money from their shtick.

 

[Cryomancer]

You know what comes next.

This will be only accepted for homossexuals. They get butthurt over Di Caprio dating girls above 18. If Di Caprio was dating a underage boy, they would love and write lots and lots of articles defending it.

"P-P-Please EA fire all these woke monsters at Bioware!"

Nope. Just kill Bioware.

I really wonder how much this dumpster fire will sell.

Will be like the Last of us 2. Sell a lot initially due game journo stupid ratings and brand name and quickly fell into obscurity. Is not like BG3 which sold well in EA, sold well at launch and even today still is selling a lot.

. It's all just impotent rage driven by delusion.

Every time that someone writes a argument, you just ignore and go back to your retardation. I explained to you, the origins of "wokeness" come from Frankfurt school, they wrote Queer theory, critical race theory, feminist theory and other forms of neo marxism.

I vaguely remember his Dragon's Dogma 2 'review' where he apparently 100% completed the game in around 20 hours.

Once I see someone bullshitting they lose any trust they may have accumulated with me and anything they say in the future also becomes unreliable.

I'm not surprised the liar is willing to shill for a large corp.

Inquisition had similarly "safe" writing but at least you could select a few asshole dialogue options both in quests and towards your companions, and you could also pretty much run the Inquisition like a power-hungry militant dictatorship with no regard for niceties, law, religion or etiquette by selecting the corresponding options in dialogue/quests. Veilguard takes even that away.
