Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[Myobi]

BioWare is a mental institution.

Saw this earlier today and it fits this thread so well

Anybody having faith in BioWare after this shit belongs in a mental asylum.

Anyone having faith in BioWare after ME3 belongs in a mental institution.

Anyone having faith in BioWare after DA2 belongs in a mental institution.

Anyone having faith in BioWare after KOTOR belongs in a mental institution.

Anyone having faith in Bioware after BG1 belongs in a less prestigious forum than RPG Codex.

So in total, on all platforms this game apparently sold 700k copies, according to this https://steamcommunity.com/app/1845910/discussions/0/4635986342046663421/
Which results to 28 million $. The game apparently cost 250 million.
So, yeah, a flop.

Swen just decided to dig a grave for Bioware. He should have done that on Veilguard's release day, but he's too nice for that.

Oh, Swen, you magnificent bastard.

If you're going to play a woke game, you might as well play one that doesn't have garbage gameplay.

Speaking of BG3, wait till the weekend and it will have more current players than Failguard's all-time peak.

People (mostly Rougay) actually argued with me about this being a massive flop. "Bu-but muh console sales!!" -

May you get shut down and repurposed for sucking dead horse anuses, Biowhore.

They keep trying to astroturf internet reviews and police critical discussions of this game, but it's pointless.

A piece of shit smells no matter what color you you paint it.

No amount of publicity is going to save this game now. The more people they trick into buying it with their fake reviews the more pissed off actual reviews they'll get later.

 

[Harthwain]

Calling it now - ME5 or whatever the number is now will be shit.

Could've called that a decade ago mate.

A reminder that "a decade ago" Mass Effect 2 was considered hot stuff.

So the way EA operates is they don't need every game to be a success. They're willing to finance a bunch of duds if there's a likelihood of 'breakout success'.

That's pretty much how investment works - you invest in some business ventures and it doesn't matter that some fail, as long as at least one of them brings back enough money for you to profit from it.

How does this tourist with zero following get an early copy for review?

My guess is that anyone who claimed to having a channel would be given one (especially after claiming to be a big BioWare/Dragon Age fan). It is considered free advertising after all.

That was a rhetorical question. They gave it to her because it’s a black woman. BioWare gave out codes to mostly women. If free advertising is what they wanted they would have given review codes to bigger channels like Luke Stevens and Wolfheart among others.

Edit: speaking of wolfheart his review went up today

BioWare was clearly going after her 196 subscribers. Or given the views on her videos, the 30 to 60 people that regularly watch her videos.

This guy is describing a hypothetical "Dragon Age: MKGA" game that actually sounds really good.

"You're a patriot and your mission is to kick the feminist orcs out of the country and make the kingdom great again..."

Megatroon is a retarded faggot with an obnoxious accent. You're peddling cringe, Whoreax.

Metatron is a retarded faggot

He was a codexer after all.

Reading comprehension is good, Foreskinlicker. I'm saying the game he's describing as "just as bad" would actually be fun.

How was I supposed to get "the game just as bad as Veilfart" from:

"This guy is describing a hypothetical "Dragon Age: MKGA" game that actually sounds really good.

Reading comprehension, more like writing comprehension. For you.

Everything in every game is shit.

 

[Warrax]

this guy thinks that's a 5/10 experience

Despite any criticism towards Metatron, Dragon Age : Make Kingdom Great Again seems like a dream RPG.

Kicking feminist orcs out of the kindgom seems amazing. Building a wall to prevent illegal immigration seems cool. Would be even better if you could replace illegal immigrants with constructs. Eliminating the goblins in the side quest seems interesting, defending the right to bear arms against a Tyranical noble also seems interesting.

Where I can find a RPG like it?

Anyway, about politics in game, Bioshock is a diehard critique against libertarianism. But is a great setting. Wolfstein is a alternative history where Germany won ww2 and is great. Using politics is not the problem. Trying to socially engineer the population is.

Edit: speaking of wolfheart his review went up today

"I had plans to dedicate my entire channel to the game."

I see YouTubers are still pretending like we didn't see this dumpster fire coming from miles away.

Also I understand making 20 minute videos for the algorithm, but I don't think it requires that much time to go over the game's faults. Everybody is falling over themselves to say stuff like "I loved Inquisition, trust me, I'm drinking the koolaid... but" when the correct answer is " Origins is a 7/10 game that had no good sequels, it only got worse, and BioWare has been an open laughingstock since Andromeda."

 

[Inec0rn]

True but most gamerbros were hyped, bought and played me:a, da2, dai etc. they are proper sheep consumers.

same shit with bethesda games.. it took 3-4 discracefully shit releases before they woke up with starfield, and even that was getting perfect review scores, mods will fix it, the game sucks but i have 200 hours played blah blah.
