At this point, I think a 15th anniversary Skyrim rerelease is more likely to top the charts than this game.

So why didn't they just make a Tranny Personal Journey CYOA game and then have an actual competent development team work on an actual Dragon Age cRPG?
Because the overwhelming majority of competent people are long gone from that outfit?
That would explain quite a lot. It makes me wonder about the EA management. It's almost like they have no idea what they are doing. Which is even more equally hilarious.

It couldn't crack 90k and peaked at 89,418 concurrent players! :lol: :lol: :lol:
u3x046L.png

What I'm seeing here is that it rises about 10% per day. I've had my non-binary-assigned-male-at-birth partner do the math (sorry, not very good at it myself) and they say that in a month it will be > 1.5M concurrent players at this rate. That is better than Baldurs Gate 3 record. So suck it Swen and choke on it chuds.

In many places of the world this was a three day weekend, due to friday being a holiday for many countries (basically, plenty of catholic ones). So if DAV had any chance of hitting peaks, it was during these days. We'l have to see if the game gets down to 50k before next sunday.
Catholics don't play transsexual demon "games". Right?




Right??
Most normies do not know or care about culture war.

I have a friend who is a Catholic came to me excited about this new game called Dragon Age that gaming magazine are all praising.

I told him to not bother and told him a bit about some degenerate things in the game, which seems to manage deflate his excitement for the game.

I need to sit down with him and explain the whole culture war thing. But I need to be careful as my rants somehow always end up to Holocaust.

Sometimes I wonder if these normies even know that degeneracy is being injected into their brains when they do play these games.

Thread's getting stale, no new memes? This turd is so boring it's even boring to laugh at it.

Agree. Problem is that even if you can let the flashy combat and the graphics carry you, everything you heard is true - it just gets really repetitive, increasingly contrived, and the endless mandatory enforced positivity becomes increasingly insufferable. Literally every combat you'll have companions squirting out praise "OMG GOOD JOB ROOK" at everything you do ... bitch, this is 500th generic skeleton I've smashed in a day, it stopped being impressive in the first half hour.

I did muster up the energy for another dive and ... lemme just say that when that, ah .... controversial character shows up, I was gobsmacked at how badly she was handled, that someone would write a self-insert character and make them so utterly insufferable. She's a straight up cunt about everything right from the jump, dropping the "yeah, I wear lots of things. You don't get to tell me who I am" literally in the second conversation you have with her.

And she's a high school student. You suffer through her mission, return to base, and there's a whole scene where her mom - repeating this, her mom - says she'll join the team, which she whines about The entire scene gives you a good sense of how incredibly unlikeable she's written:



In response, she stomps around and pulls a pout so hard it nearly breaks the animation engine:

Screenshot-2024-11-04-124234.png


This is how she's introduced. It was, evidently, more important to swing for the sullen teenager demographic than for anyone to ask "you know, the stakes are supposed to be high here. Maybe we should get someone who doesn't need parental permission for this Super Important world saving battle?"

It's like a heist movie where someone says "You son of a bitch, I'm in. So long as my mom is cool with it."

And then not long after you talk to her and they drop this line - all I can think is "....are they fucking with us? They've got to be fucking with us."

Screenshot-2024-11-04-015732-2.png


Then she goes on about how there's traps everywhere, she's around traps all the time, there could be traps anywhere and all I can think is ".....you don't say."

I find it so odd that the entire discourse around this game is the pronouns and homos and such but rarely includes the fact that almost all the elves are negroes. That most NPC's are some shit stained colour of brown. Nobody seems to care that one of the whitest genres in gaming, fantasy, has been taken over by the negroe. What reminded me of that, is the picture Zed posted has a thread topic about the issue, but its rare to see. If the game was homo free, no non-binary bullshit, would anyone even care that whites are either villians only or just side characters? I bet people would be lapping it up just like they did the Fallout TV show.

These fucking idiots think teenagers want to play games where the character is a teenager living with their parents having teenage problems.

The more I read about what's happening at Bioware, the more I'm convinced that everyone there is incompetent.

Normies have been programmed to slowly accept degeneracy. People were once shocked to see nudity, extreme violence, interracial relationships, gay relationships on screen now we advanced at transsexualism. And most normies will just ignore it and accept it with time as a new normal.

Big part of why I noped out of playing this game very early on: among your seven potential companions of midgets, womynz, an elderly 2nd pair of bowling shoes and a tranny, there's also a blelf.

Nope nope nope nope. I've had enough of rangz of powah. No African melanoids with pointy ears acting like dem eldar from da hood n shiiiieeet. Nope.

Can you imagine the sheer amount of narcissism it takes for someone to claim to be "non-binary"?

I mean I understand some people have gender dysphoria, an illness that makes them think they're the wrong gender. But someone claiming to be "non-binary" is saying the entire world should invent a whole new concept of gender just for them. Languages need to be modified to account for their special existence.

And all for what? How much does their life improve if society collectively spends that vast amount of effort required to accommodate them? It must be miniscule. The scale of selfishness and lack of perspective is mystifying.

The attitude is actually incredibly other-focused. These people require constant validation of their delusions from everyone. Their sense of self is actually pathetically weak; that's why they freak out whenever they encounter disagreement. There's nothing selfish about self-destruction.

If the number of players falls below 22k in the next few hours they are in deep trouble.

This is based on the typical ratio of Monday's low to Sunday's low, which is about 6 or 7 to 10. That makes around 22k the normal low, for a 6 to 10 ratio. Below that is abnormally low.

These people cannot create, only destroy.
Yeah. Someone had posted a screenshot like "wasn't this supposed to be racist towards elves". And indeed, notice the progression - first it's "we demand current year social issues be crudely translated into the game lore", until they take over, then it's "we no longer portray real life issues, instead we portray societies in a way that's idealized according to our views".
