My god, that's brutal. Not just the dialogue, look at Harding's face! Unacceptably lazy animation work.

Every compilation video I see makes the dialogue seem worse than the last. The content and writing aren't even the biggest issues; the delivery is almost universally dogshit with Jin Maley's performance as Taash standing out as particularly flat. Every companion seems to oscillate between adorkable nerd and petulant teenager, genuinely awful.

If you told me every dialogue scene in Veilguard was scripted, animated and delivered by generative A.I. without any human QC I'd believe you. It's that uncanny and generic.
So BioWare trannie Andrew Busche chose another trannie actress to voice Taash.
Jin Maley is nonbinary and goes by they/them pronouns.

I wouldn't be surprised if Swen was intently looking into how this game performs so he could slap a -20% on BG3 just to fuck with Bioware and get sales from their disappointed customers. That's what I would do.

Yeah, does seem like a strange coincidence to have a sale right after a rival game launches.

Holy hell, there are fanfics written by teenagers that are less cringeworthy than this.

This is the fanfic bro.
BG3 runs well on 4 cores and low/mid level of graphic cards with decent graphic. So at least it's bug free well done game with story that kinda sucks. DA:V is not even that.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
So I finally saw this video that's been making the rounds:



God forgive me for what I'm about to say, but Owlcat has better writing.


If you have been reading all the stats about how we are in global population decline because young people are not reproducing, watch this video to understand why. Late Millennials and Zoomers don't fuck and are not interested in sex, I wonder why? That "flirting" interaction was so fucking awkward my balls literally retreated back into my abdomen. No wonder these socially retarded brainlets don't have sex. They are the pure distillation of cringe.

Someone posted earlier a screen of PS5 sales. Nobody will convince me that game discounted by 10%+ FIVE DAYS after its launch can be considered a success in any way, shape of form.
It's a $7 "discount" only with the purchase of a $6/month EA Play subscription lmao :positive:

The Big Bang Theory is the thing I'm immediately reminded of watching these dialogue compilations. That show has a lot to answer for in popularising "so awkward, how adorkable!" as a genre of entertainment.

Current year media is like a tutorial on how to not have sex.

Play Drakensang the Dark Eye for some proper boobas and plot that is more interesting than any vomit soup these fags brew
Full voice acting in games is often underrated here, yet it can be incredibly powerful in attracting a mainstream audience.

Baldur's Gate 3, by far the biggest game of last year, a CRPG that's not only a sequel to Bioware's iconic BG2 in name and setting, but obviously inspired by Dragon Age: Origins in its cinematic presentation, focus on companions, dialogue, and even "camp" mechanics. But no, let's not compare the latest Dragon Age game with that because that's not what Bioware intends.

The common thread in all these delusions is they expect people to think and perceive reality the way they want.

How these people don't flatline because they forgot how to breathe is remarkable..
Imagine a Delta Force team failing the mission because one guy was distracted when he didn't finish painting his Warhammer army in time for the 10th annual Delta Force warhamemr Tournament

And I can't believe anybody was sad Taash died before the game ended though
