Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

To people who actually play this shit...
How about you FAGGOTS play some SOLASTA instead?!

You could play an rpg with pronouns and women who were made to be ugly, complete with 5 o clock shadows

or Veilguard

And also to see some Codexers show their edgy and extremist side, it reminded me of my nephew when he would say some idiotic absurdities and my brother would swear that "I don't know where he learned this" - on the internet no doubt.

Wow.
Alright Mr. Centrist.

The WORST kind. Because they don't offer anything EXCEPT: mathematical average of culturaly acceptable opinion from 10 years ago and today

No great writers, thinkers, scientists or statesmen were normie or centrist. Why? Because to be centrist is to be passive, to be something THAT. HAS.TO. FIT into ever changing background canvas of socially acceptable norms. They don't offer no solutions, no original thoughts, nothing. In programming their value would be: NULL. Not nothing, NULL

Not everyone, just quite a few. Most? Maybe. Just observations based on numerous interactions with retards here. Did it bother you personally? You’re probably one of these retards. Sorry, but maybe there’s still hope for you. Stop being an idiot

My highly rational thought process based on my atheism tells me this is a raging shitpost of someone who is not spending his time in the most optimal way. Shame!

Really? Who doesn’t spend a few minutes waiting during day and kills time on the internet? I’m not on here all day, everyday like some users. I don’t get it, did something I say bother you? I didn’t mean to offend. My best advice is to just move on. Life is too short

 

[Alienman]

Xorazm I think they say stupid shit like that, because modern devs have to fill the void with constant chatter. I guess, it's hard to come up with stuff.

Both were made in Canada. What is last mechanically good, ambitious, with good writing ok ok ok forget all that. What is last playable AAA RPG coming from North American continent?

Here is a challenge. What is it? Inquisition 10 years ago? Too retarded for my taste, but maybe Skyrim back in 2012. Which was 12 YEARS AGO

Solasta is good enough to play, its like a very good Neverwinter Nights module. But it has very little to do with this Dragon Age Veilguard thing.
One's a turn based tactical game about resource management between encounters, with a minimal story; the other is an action game with cooldown abilities where everything recharges between fights, and is very heavy on the story between fights.
The kind of person who'd like one probably wouldn't like the other.

Pillars of Eternity stuff probably.

Okay, fair point.
I'm changing my stance.
Real men play only Icewind Dale games directed by Josh "Genocide" Sawyer.
The series has everything, from pro-genocide messaging to glamorized sexual abuse. Nice music too.

The "<2 hours negative Steam review then let's refund" Chud brigade is trying so hard, but it won't help.

Wrong. IF you ask refund, your review wound't count in steam positive/negative ratio. BTW, 70k current players is nothing compared to Starfailed, a shit bugthesda game(330k), Dragons Dogma 2(228,285) the Monkey game(2.5 MILLION players) criticized and hated by all journos got a huge success.

Lets be real, without the "Dragon Age" name, this game would be a Concord/Forspoken tier flop.

Either word of mouth is really good the next few weeks, or the console versions outsells the PC several times, or this will be a shitshow.

This can happen. Console peasants love AAA woke bugfests made by incompetent diversity hires.

Alright Mr. Centrist.

The only reason why Codex is alive is that it allows people to be playful, even if retarded. Pseudo-serious forced talk is boring, see how RPGWatch fares compared to Codex. There are interesting conversations on here, but they always arise naturally from the chaos, which is - contrary to some expectations - a fertile ground for a true discussion.

You can look up mentions of Codex on other sites like ResetEra, Reddit, and so on. Even they admit this place is a treasure trove for information as long as you are willing to overlook trivial trolling.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, Skyrim and Fallout 4 are probably LAST playable AAA somewhat RPGs from North American Continent. In 10 years: NOTHING. Or in new american: NADA

Keep in mind, whatever you might think about them: Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, with all their expansions were developed and released in LESS THEN 10 YEARS

Without AI, without fancy frameworks in programming and new tools for animation, voice acting, knowledge of design etc.

Do you know now, when things are put on graph and compared and in perspective, understand why people belive gaming industry is fucking failling? And why the fuck are people mad Infinitron? Because fuck culture, fuck spirituality, fuck having children, fuck having meaningful lifes, fuck eating healthy,fuck not dying in foreign wars,fuck being poor

INFINITRONS FUCK UP BASIC BREAD & CIRCUS! YOU ARE INCOMPETENT FUCK UPS! KINGS DAVID AND SOLOMON ARE ASHAMED OF THIS SHLOMO GEN

Alt? Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t waste my time with such nonsense. I just call things how I see it. Dealing with such fragile psychs, this naturally creates a lot of butthurt. This board is now barely different from Reddit, or an ign comment section. Just like there, you get mass down voted for pointing out the obvious logical fallacies the retarded user base posts. Only difference is I’m not banned. Yet.

You didn't get downvoted, there's no such thing here. You got, at most, a bucketful of shit.

Smilies are downvotes basically. But yes, it is a board full of shit, on that we agree

No, they are not. I could still read your post, even if it were showered with shit "smilies" on this forum.

That is the big difference between this place and that fucking trash heap that is Reddit. And it's certainly a YOU problem if you personally feel offended by them.

 

[gongal]

In Bulgarian for example(and probably most slavic languages) gender and sex are one word and the sorosoids need to use loanwords for that and it sounds retarded.

Gender as a word and concept is strictly an amerimutt creation

Game has 51k playing right now. Will it make it to a 100k?

 

[Xorazm]

I'm sorry, I know I'm already biased to nitpicking, but I legitimately had to pause and laugh for a good solid minute at this line, somehow still with my rock-bottom expectation it manages to catch me off guard:

https://youtu.be/Tr8h2BzedNI?t=3826

"Oh no! Demons! And right where we need to go!"

Like no fucking shit girl, baddies are gonna show up to stop you, that's already been overexplained twelve times like everything else in the game. But then all I could think about were baddies spawning in around some random location, and just waiting around, looking at their watches, rattling to each other "Are you sure the heroes are coming this way?" "I mean the map said ...." "C'mon, look at the floor there's only one direction to go!" "I know but it's been hours...." "Maybe they're still in character creation?"

"Oh no! Bad guys! And, to make things worse, right in the direct path that we, the heroes, would like to take!" I'm serious I'm genuinely struggling to think of a line in any game, ever, that is this stupid.

And it goes on like this.

For some reason they included a turret section, which people were already clowning in Duke Nukem Forever for being a boring cliche mechanic. I honestly stood there a second thinking "no way they're really doing this." And even still they manage to make it stupider:

https://youtu.be/Tr8h2BzedNI?t=4544

"More Darkspawn! Right where you broke the wall!"

Wtf bitch, where else are they gonna come from? Is this game genuinely worried that their players are going to lose focus in the microsecond between firing the shot and the very clear hordes of enemies that emerge behind it?

Why are you playing this? And don't say it's for the lulz, that wont save you.

Good question. Yes, partly for the lulz - duh, that much was obvious from what I chopped out.

Partly because I'm genuinely curious to as to how reviews ended up so far all over the place, and I wanted to see for myself. Who knows, maybe there are redeeming qualities that weren't articulated very well. I'd like to know for myself why the combat was such a letdown to Skillup while everybody else brushed it off. It makes a pretty good first impression, I think most people would grant that, despite the flaccid damage animations. There's a Mighty Foot ability which is pretty funny. But the primer-detonator problem ... yeah I can already see glimpses of that.

Partly for the same reason you click on a gore site. Morbid curiosity. Don't act like you haven't done it.

Probably moreso because when the game comes up in conversation down the line - which it will, for ages to come - I'd like point to specific examples of what went wrong that came from having hands-on time with it, without obviously sourcing it from reviews slating it. If the time spent keeps a single normie from giving Bioware 60 sheckles, yeah I'll take that. So if I want to make a point that the writing is juvenile, full of cliches and painful over-exposition, I can point to this -

https://youtu.be/Tr8h2BzedNI?t=5879

Now this could have been a good scene. The fog already sells it. The quiet sells it. Spooky. Moody. You could have just shown some rats scurrying around and let the scene speak for itself. But then of course because this is Veilguard you have to have a character say "This isn't right."

And then explain why it isn't right.

But nope, even that isn't enough.

You also have to have a character drive a maul into the face of the point by adding "Something happened here." Like no fucking shit lady, you think most harbors look like this?

But oh no, even that's not enough. The point is well and thoroughly brutalized beyond death but it can still be raped. Because literally the next lines that drop is "It's too quiet." Which a character simply can't just let sit without adding their own line. Guess what another character says next! The answer will shock you.

Remember - this is Bioware's best game yet!

I dunno, the novelty value might only carry me so far. Seems like the kind of thing that after a certain number of hours it's shown its entire hand, and it's just bad in the same way, over and over again, instead of inventing new ways to be bad. By then I'll probably peter out.

And no, of course I didn't pay a dime for it. Duh.

Dragon Age: Inquistion, Skyrim and Fallout 4 are probably LAST playable AAA somewhat RPGs from North American Continet.

BGIII is more playable than either of those 3, if you accept you are the old guy at the table of giggling teenagers.

Belgium is not on the american continent.

Doubt it. It might reach a peack of 70k players on Steam.

Ah true, sorry. Though the project did employ enough Canadians, americans and Irish (culturally close enough). It's not a great metric, Western vs eastern Eurojank is a bit better.

I don’t feel offended, it’s just childish social media garbage akin to Reddit, twitter or Facebook set in the style of an old forum. If only there were actual quality posts, or even funny ones more often. Instead it’s just culture war garbage. On every thread. This game is shit for a million reasons. Mostly it seems due to writing, voice acting, animations, and gameplay. Them shoving some tranny quanari with a terrible redesign and no option to kill them or tell them to fuck off is a problem with writing and art. Did the devs have an agenda? Yes. Would I care if the game was good? Most likely not. I know, this is a controversial take around here.

 

[Larianshill]

You don't think the americans will save it?

 

[Lagole Gon]

Who are the writers for this game? I know lead writer is some retard (Pa)Trick Weekes, who worked at Bioware since Mass Effect. Guess his retardation was kept in check for the most part like with other clowns.

Trick Weekes lives in Edmonton, Canada with their wife Karin Weekes and their two sons. Trick Weekes uses they/them pronouns and identifies as pansexual and non-binary.

I wonder if wife and kids indulge in his mental illness and call this idiot they\them?



What about the rest? The heroes deserve recognition.

He is the personification of this emote

The prophecies were true!

Man, it's almost like the handsome rogue who drew it took inspirations from a real person!

 

[GrainWetski]

Two of those are written by the same guy. Apparently he hadn't gotten to the "barve" scene yet and thought it was all overblown until he saw it himself.

The retarded cuck isn't very subtle updating "his opinion" shortly after the game is released.. Trying to get back any semblance of respectability after shilling just long enough for this trash.

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

Game has 51k playing right now. Will it make it to a 100k?

Interest seems pretty muted outside of the dedicated BioWare community. Veilguard's peak is only slightly higher than the Mass Effect Collection.

Maybe more normies show up over the weekend to push it past the 100k mark?

Well you're here now, care to contribute with one of those?
