We've arrived at the final stage of cope. The "I like it, don't care" stage.

View attachment 57104

On a main subreddit that was running hardcore defense for the game.

Only a matter of time before low sodium dragon age.

You're watching a fandom twist in on itself. And honestly, it's kind of sad. They just didn't want the good times to end.

BioWare was one of the giants of the genre, like it or not.

At this far removed corner from BioWare's best times, it's charitable to pour one out for the homies. The BioWere we knew is long gone, and has been for some time. Remember it as it was, not as it is.

Fucking up Mass Effect :argh:
Reddit doesn't even have any discussions about the ending yet. Oh, and they don't know that Varric has been dead the whole time too, with no burial and grieving scenes at all.

Quick make a thread about it. Tagged with "I LOVE THIS GAME! NO SPOILER PREVIEW"

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.

Cyberpunk 2077 sold 6 milion copies from preorders and few from launch totalling 10 milion copies in first days on all platforms. around 1mil players played on launch day. Which gives you 1:10 ratio.

Refantasia had 100k peak and less marketed and ATLUS announced they sold 1 mil copies which is again bang on 1:10 ratio.
That's interesting because KCD sold a million copies in the first week and it peaked at 100k ish. It could actually be a reliable ratio, more or less.

We need more numbers.

Josh Sawyer approves this. Keep in mind that fucks like Avellone, Tim Cain, Josh Sawyer, Brian Fargo etc ALL either passively or actively aprove of all this shitshow and insanity. Keep buying their games, keep being surprised that they are castrated in every way, both creatively and gameplay wise. Because castrated men make them

Don't talk about culture, don't bring culture wars pweeeeease. I haven't enjoyed good game from California or Canada in decade+. Yes, all teams are made of women, trannies and whipped soy white men. NOOOOOOOO, ZEROOOO CAUSE & EFFECT!!!

Keep Avellone out of this dude. What did he do wrong
He stays silent and passively and actively supports every WOKE trend on his twitter while expecting us to ride to his help when WOKE brings him to court. Then same WOKE industry makes him persona non grata without evidence for his sin, and when court finds him innocent does anyone apologize from Industry? Noooo. Does he keep sucking their cock? Yessss

If one man studios can make games, like Monomyth, Manor Lords, Vampire Syndicate, Underrail and then grow, what stopped Avellone? Being A BITCH that loves sucking California's zeitgeist cock. Like Josh Sawyer. Fuck them both so much. Traitors to themselves, traitors to beauty, honesty and truth

Do you think 2024 castrated Avellone and Josh would NOT make or approve everything in Veilguard? Knowing Josh, only thing different would be that game would have have better and wide selection of fonts. Cocksuckers for Evil

The reason they don't have characters with big breasts in the game is so the trannies can feel better about themselves. They don't want the game director's younger self to be reminded that real women have tits and he doesn't.

It is pretty reliable. Naturally there are some shifts like some franchizes are console friendly vs pc but overall 1:10 ratio is pretty good.
Naturally it only can be used to gauge launch of game not later life.

wukong had 20mil sales and 2mil peak.

Literally. People, since they still not experience it on personal level in real life for every second, still don't believe or refuse to believe HOW FUCKING CRAZY things have got. With NO SIGNS of slowing down unless Trump wins, and then we will see

Just look at this fact - Game Director: tranny; Lead Writer: Tranny; IGN 10/10 reviewer: tranny. During trans scenes in game, mirror calls you "kid", whole game is juvenile and aimed at teens and Lead Director publicly said: "I WISH I had this kind of game when I was young". What most normies and normie adjacent critical reviews focus on: dull gameplay and marvel writing. None except chuds DARE to approach this topic with ten feet pole. BRO

Bro you don't realize how much things are on deep level fucked up. Not hopeless, there's plenty of hope

That's also why everyone is dumb like a brick in that game

Yes Avellone would disapprove of this shit, big fat. I mean... let's just ask him. Isn't his nickname here Chris_Avellone?

These old heroes of yours? They were heroes in context of 90s and 2000s. Today they are insignificant, fat, lazy bitch minions for villains. What's the worst? 100% their choice. Avellone has few months ago sucked a tranny cock on twitter in public. Wrote whole essays about his tranny friend. I'd put more money on him voting for Kamala then I have put on Trump winning

We already know that there is not going to be any DLC.
It's not necessarily an indicator of anything. BG3 didn't have any DLC either.

That's a different story, with Larian having licensing issues with WOTC. Every company that has a succesful game wants to milk it otherwise, especially one that has to answer to shareholders.

Well first of all none of the people you listed are my heros. I'm sympathetic to Avellone because I think he's a a likable guy. I know he's a liberal and I don't care what he thinks about gays. I just know he would despise this game for what steaming pile of shit it is, regardless of politcal agenda it has.

We should dig a little grave for Bioware, and be done with it. I'll find a shovel, throw away dragon dildo from its dead hands and bury that name alongside Collector's Boxes and good memories of Baldur's Gate, KOTOR, NWN, Mass Effect and Dragon Age

BG3 wasn't shit, it had elements in it that were shit and whether that breaks the game depends on your own preference.

The game was a fairly competent classic RPG. It had a functional turn based combat system, actual dialog trees instead of that retarded wheel, some actual choices and even some hidden things you can discover.

The deal breaker for me was the politics, the degeneracy (ha ha Xan shoved his sword up his ass because he was bored of prison isn't that hilarious?l) and this overall feminine vibe running through the writing as a whole, which also made all the NPCs shit.

Oh, and this might be more of a 5E thing i don't know but I didn't like how there was all this Planescape shit everywhere. Everywhere there's Tieflings, Karlach escaping from hell, Gale having a love affair with Mystra, and that skelly guy you can recruit in your camp whom apparently is some super powerful bieng. All this shit and yet your party starts as level one.

Reminds me of how the villagers in Icewind Dale were skeptical of sightings of wolves, goblins and giant footprints but now apparently everything is Planescape like i said.

How? The way I see it they tried to mimick Baldur's Gate's party isometric combat in 3D, only with a smaller team at your disposal (4 total, including the main character). It was the Inquisition where they managed to turn it into an MMO-like mashup of an isometric AND an action game, resulting in an abomination.
Movement is WASD keys, click to target, auto attack, bottom UI that is a blatant copy, abilities are quite literally named the same way and do the same thing as in WoW, stupid cooldown management, backstabbing on rogue etc. It just feels like playing some chinese WoW knockoff from 2006.

Truth to be told, a lot of that can be attributed to Neverwinter Nights (which is ALSO a BioWare game).
