Why do some people need others to approve the thing they're consuming in order to enjoy that thing?
Daddy issues. The confirmation is the only thing they're actually looking for in these games. It doesn't matter how bad the game is, as long as some group of people can tell you "yeah it's a good thing you're playing this, good boy". And with time, a small group is not enough, and everyone must start approving of your decisions, otherwise you're no longer in a safe space.

Is it dead yet?

It never lived in first place. Is one of those botchlings from the twitcher.
Low self esteem.

People get way too invested in the idea of enjoying entertainment products. Like, I like Dragon Age, therefore I must blindly love everything Dragon Age related, including that shitty Netflix anime.

We saw the same thing with Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal. People were desperately trying to convince themselves and others that the games weren’t shit.

It's a holdover from evolution. Back then, if everyone fucking hate the other tribe/city/state/country/empire, you should probably go in line and help out else you'll hold back the group. It's not a matter of right or wrong, it's a matter of the group's survival.
Now however, this line of thinking has carried over to retards gossiping over each other on the internet because lizard brain needs to defend it's tribe called not-RPG RPG #429.

I've legit seen multiple biodrones call the haters shills.

Wut? What are they shilling for?

Quality games made by competent people with artistic merit?

Lol at the manlet redesign of the darkspawn.

And i’m supposed to believe THESE fucks razed denerim?

this scene has all the dramatic weight of a level 12 D&D party being ambushed by a pack of level 1 goblins

How is it that the troons can get through the ribcage with big holes but not the zombies when clearly they could fit through? It just doesn't make sense.

STAND BACK, BIGOTS! Time to get this party started.


The Codex clashed again, over 'nother fancy game
this time it's Veilguard and it's tranny devs to blame
Ass and tits slider? That's as far as it will go
..but you have pronouns, surgery scars, vitiligo

Our Rook's non-binary, and with a crooked nose
Looks like Shit, but identifies as Rose
So let us all pretend that nothing here is wrong
..let's just eat around the schlong

Some people here have never played a Dragon Age
and cannot sympathize toward the fandom's rage,
I can assure you: at the end of the day,
we always thought those games were gay

Nigger, have you see the design of Darkspawn Ogre alone? What stupidly retarded thing can't be real in this piece of shit identifying as game, motherfucker?
I mean I have seen screenshots of other DA games here and there over the years, so it being ugly doesn't really feel like something has changed. But auto equipping items straight from chests without an option to unequip an item without replacing it with other item is bonkers for a game that at least even pretends to be an RPG
It indeed is. And didn't that shill reviewer morhimer, moralisar, morontimer or whatever his name was talk about builds, getting defined by items. How are you supposed to do that? Just pick up really carefully only those chests that contain the stuff you need for your "build"?

I'm sure that faggot shill would even go the extra mile for some sweet kiss from daddy EA.

They needed to make the darkspawn white-skinned, because black is byutifool.

I bet they're mad they couldn't rename to whitespawn or something like that. Or did they do that?

Anyone speaks French here? Looks like its also butchered in that language

dragon-age-the-veilguard-is-even-worse-in-french-v0-00kpj6gdnkyd1.jpg
It sounds retarded, the following would be the correct translation:
Voici le gouverneur Ivenci. Il s'inquiéte. -if dude
Voici la gouverneure Ivenci. Elle s'inquiéte. -if chick

But to actually say it out loud is worst, gouverneur-e vs gouverneure? How do you even pronounce that without sounding like you just trying to say the feminine but have a strong accent (and if someone says "lae" i'd definitely assume its creole or some other weird french offshoot trying to say "le").

Codex, I'm sorry to inform you. But you've been doing nothing but reflect mainstream opinion on this game. If Veilguard had the steam sales and critical acclaim that BG3 had you'd all be batting for the other team, guaranteed. You've lost your edge. Remind me why Dragon Age as a franchise matters this much to you?
:nocountryforshitposters: The most prestigious Codexers have detested Bioware since 1998 and would be happy to denigrate their latest game regardless of its commercial or critical success.

I think everybody here is happy the mainstream is rejecting that piece of shit.

Edit. Oh I read that wrong. He really thinks we would be chearing for this if the mainstream would like it. :hahano:

What a complete retard

The more entries this franchise gets the more I think the universe was inherently limited from the get-go. The conflicts it set up had obvious end points. Caste system of the dwarves ends in abolishing the castes. Tevinter slavery and blood magic ends in abolishing those. Templar vs mages ends with freedom for mages. The whole qunari situation was just a way to show how religious extremism is bad. None of these had nuanced takes, not really, even the qunari problem, so there was nowhere to go from a contemporary perspective.
The mages vs templars conflict is an allegory of gun control. But it was done poorly by BioWare. Players overwhelmingly sided with the mages in DA:O so the devs made both sides evil and crazy in DA2. Qunari were portrayed as the Ottoman empire and Sten has pretty based views, questioning why the Grey Warden is a woman. BioWare lost the plot and made Qunari progressive and tolerant who embrace trannies instead of being religious zealots.
Even if someone from Bioware claimed that mages vs templars was about gun control, it is far enough removed from it that it can be generalized and a parallel drawn with other political conflicts. Abstract ideals of "restraint" and "liberality" run through many of the divisions of today's world such as economy, sexuality, individual and group rights etc.
