Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[kapisi]

Wasn't Outer Worlds an epic exclusive? It sold 5 mil, iirc. I wonder if it's steam numbers would've been higher than veilguard's

 

[GrainWetski]

Now we wait for sales I guess.

EA never disclosed sales numbers for Inquisition, and they won't disclose now. They will lump it up with other titles and talk about "successful releases" in the next investor call in January (I think).

Same as Inquisition, this one has flopped and they will cover it up. If there was anything to brag about, they would, but there will be nothing and that's how you can tell it flopped.

They actually did

12 million, according to them.

• Dragon Age: Origins — 3.2 million copies sold in three months;
• Dragon Age II — over 2 million copies sold in two months;
• Baldur’s Gate — 2.8 million copies sold as of 2015;
• Baldur’s Gate II — over 2 million copies sold as of 2005;
• Neverwinter Nights — 2.2 million copies sold as of 2007;
• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic — 3.2 million copies sold as of 2007;
• Jade Empire — 500k copies sold in two months, below expectations;
• Mass Effect — 1.6 million copies sold in six weeks;
• Mass Effect 2 — over 2 million copies shipped in two weeks (ME1 & 2 sold over 7 million units combined as of April 2011);
• Mass Effect 3 — over 6 million copies sold (the entire trilogy sold over 14 million units as of July 2014).

That's not EA, it's a Bio-whore claiming it while defending the game. You also conveniently left out this part right above those numbers in your quote "note that lifetime sales for most of them remain undisclosed".

"OHMYGOD IT WAS GOTY AND SOLD A BILLION COPIES, YOU FILTHY CHUD NAZI!"

No matter what I see, it always appears that all dialog choices are just one, they didn't even want to record two possible answers

Reviews are mostly positive at 79% now.

Dialogue options in Fallout 4:

1: Yes
2: Sarcasm (Yes)
3: Ask more about subject (Yes)
4: No (Yes)

Dialogue options in Dragon Age 4:

1: Yes
2: Yes
3: Yes

This page got into full satanic panic mode, on a forum focused on computer RPGs, most of which are tied to Dungeons and Dragons. It's ironic.

You all realize that this androgynous, anthropomorphic, genderless, demon looking creature they're promoting in modern AAA games lately are all representing Moloch or Baphomet, right? This is the god of Judaism and goes back to 600 - 500 BC before and during the Exile. Robert Sepher has made a ton of videos about this topic. They are pushing their religion on you.

You are aware that the are several thousands of years of distance between the creation of Moloch and Baphomet, right?
Moloch is the actual god of the jews, while Baphomet is just french fanfiction.

They're all connected. Their cult religion goes back to Egypt. The anthropomorphic, androgynous bull demon creature has been there forever under different names and different cultures. Baal, Moloch, Asherah, Remfran, Saturn, Baphomet, Lucifer. Really the same deity.
See Sepeher's videos. He explains.

Haven't been on the codex for a while but I wanted to stop by to see the reaction to one of the last great party-based rtwp franchises transforming into God of War (2018) with Joss Whedon dialogue.

I was expecting to find people to commiserate with over the lack of strategic depth and creative problem solving. But, I have to admit, "EA WORSHIPS LORD BAPHOMET THE GOD OF THE JEWS DONT FALL FOR IT" is way funnier. Never change, Dex.

I wouldn't call the Dragon Age franchise great.

[Crass]

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.

Never trust a 50 year old man with bright colored hair.

There is literally, let me turn on caps lock again, LITERALLY ZERO fans of new Dragon Age (aka gays, lesbians, trans, normie shitlibs) who talk about these concepts. On Reddit, Twitter, Youtube, Steam forums. Those things are speheres of interest of chuds and chud adjacent individuals. Simple as. One more reason why culture war is important. They are replacing you with lower IQ audience which is incapable and uninterested into anything else besides sex, goofy characters in cliche story and romance. These people don't read, don't learn, don't think, don't feel. They CONSOOOM

Coincidentally this lower IQ audience has lower expectations which leads to lower production costs. That's how it was probably sold to soulless higher ups who count money. Now they just have to transition the rest of the market into same state of mind and body. One game at a time

You were dead the moment you drunk from that comically oversized chalice.

Seriously that thing is absolutely massive.

Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.

Sepher is just another one of those kooks who latches on to the mystical fictions that were common in the late 19th and early 20th century (some of which are just continuations of medieval slander) and takes them seriously without any real proof. It's best to treat him as nothing but a purveyor of tall tales.

Answer to Dragon Age should be Alaloth Dev's next game. Alas, it might not sell well enough. AlaWOT? Precisely. Most based indies have to have their BG1 moment, in terms of experience, budgeting etc. That moment has to be succesful and repeat few times before we reach Dragon Age Origins-like with Veilguard's or BG3 budget. But you keep ignoring these indies and on 7 step path they rarely make more then 1-3 steps. This is topic for another thread. There is hope

Evil is very much real. It pumps little children full of drugs and turns their sexual organs into never-healing holes.

I really should not allow myself to be drawn into discussions on this forum at my age but I can't resist. I don't think that dialogue/story and gameplay are linked as closely as you do. Studios can (and have) made games with woke sensibilities while retaining engaging strategic gameplay. Larian being the obvious example. If Veilguard had iterated on the RTwP system of Origins and built out the strategic/tactical layers of party-based combat instead of stripping it entirely, then I would have been satisfied.

Only other thing I have to add is that there seem to be people here that think Veilguard bombing will lead to EA refocusing towards the RPG elements that we all know and love. I can assure you, if veilguard bombs, EA will devote resources towards making the same safe, unadventurous, and reliably profitable slop that they always have. If Veilguard succeeds, they will make the same calculation. Such is life.

Failguard is so bad, even the faggots who liked DAI hate it.

 

[Tavar]

There isn't really a lot to say about Veilguard outside of the culture war stuff. I'm not sure what exactly Basshead and Brickfrog were expecting to find in this thread given that the game's low quality is painfully obvious and given that only about 7% of the Codex plan to play the game at all.

Yes. This gen of Larian programmers, artists and writers. Next one will be more retarded, more gay, more female, more trans, more brown and more incapable of replicating any complex systems that require hard team work, knowledge and discipline. Same story with CD Projekt Red. Both studio have same WOKE bleeding debuff. They just have more health/sanity currently left then their American cousins who infected them with this mind virus

I was expecting universal negativity, of course. That's why I showed up. I was just expecting there to be a bit more discussion on the gameplay. I'm guessing people already complained about the combat like 200 pages ago when we learned that they stripped out party management?

LOL no. Noone expects anything from them. They have openly declared us enemies without ever meeting us in RL. I have invested my hope in based indies and AAs like ATOM Team, Stygian Software, Warhorse, RatTower etc.

Never noticed how the internet centrists only ever have very obvious generic leftist opinions?

They are the same.
