Dragon Age Veilguard is completely insufferable.

[SailusGebel]

So it peaked at 70k players on Steam. Which is much fewer than other AAA games with less marketing.

This is with all the take downs of anything critical of the game.
With the amount of paid journalist shilling and propoganda, I sometimes wonder how gaming became like this.

Gaming went from a past time we could say something was good or something sucked to: "You can't criticize our game we made with politics inside it."

Of course this is unsustainable.

It is CoD boycott all over again.

I don't know if it's a boycott.
Either way, it'll take some time to tell whether it was a success or not. Spider-man 2 for instance was "topping the charts" but Sony didn't consider it a success because it sold less than half of the original.

It has the same energy. People see reviews on YT, and how bad the game is, and they are still buying the game to "make sure" it is really bad because they can't trust reviews. Or because they are too invested, any reason really. They can't say no even if it will benefit them more in the long term. They have to get that entertainment, no matter how little there will be, and no matter how shitty it would be.

Well, I'm going to entertain myself with milk shake making with my blender instead.

Still, I made it a rule to never buy games at launch after Cyberpunk 2077. Also wait for all DLC to come out before considering whether I buy or not. I think the only company I buy games from close to launch is Nintendo, and that's about it.

Good rule, and enjoy your milk shake.

My goodness... how can a game get so bad!
The graphics are good, but the art style is bad.
The characters talk to your characters like they're a toddler.
The tone is all wrong... the writing is horrendous...
I've been watching a lot of content on this to decide whether to buy it hoping that maybe they would give us the dreadwolf like promised.

Majority of the reviewers who gave positive reviews use the words "return to form" when it's obviously not.
I say this as someone who played through the first 3 games and liked 1 and 2 (iffy on 3, but was still playable).

Man, I had the hope for a sequel for years and now we get this slop. Where's the dread wolf?

...mf's are still playing EA games...wild. But are there lesbians tho?

I keep trying to not laugh during the youtube videos covering that pathetic/freakish "coming out as trans/non-bin" bullshit scene....but I catch myself giggling at how retarded it is EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Gotta love leftists. They keep getting kicked in the teeth, but they just keep coming back for more!!

Scars, freaking scars!

I thought people were screwing with me when I heard the thing about the surgery scars. I couldn't believe BioWare would be that disgusting!! So amazed, amused, and repulsed.

"Soon you will have no game to play"

This is an empty threat. Plenty of games out already that I can spend years playing and replaying. If the gaming industry crashed today, it wouldn't put a dent in anything for me. Anyone who is scared by this, isn't a true gamer.

That's the purpose of live service. You could remove or rewrite content at your leisure and the user has to defence against it, because there aren't any local copies whatsoever. This could be countered by simply pirating the content, but that's criminalized.

Also, keep in mind, they don't think like this.

When they say "Soon you will have no game to play" doesn't mean "no computer games". It means "You will have no platform for your expression so we could control what you think and feel."

CEO of those companies, dictating those policies, don't even know what product they are producing. Hell, they are so disconnected from it they don't even understand the market economy and think in politician concepts of control and opposition. They don't even understand words like "customer". That's why the gaming companies attack gamers all the time. They use "gamers" like "political opposition".

There are probably a few people who would enjoy the new Dragon Age, but even as they play the game, they are not the gamers.

Person who plays a game is a gamer? It isn't, not today. We live in an era when words don't mean things anymore.

Typical leftist activist idiots took over EA games, and then people are surprised when leftist activist idiots add their trash into games. It's like someone sticking their hand into a hot steaming pot of boiling water and burning themselves, but being shocked that it happened.

This game is the reason gamers have flipped to being more conservative people.

Gaming culture had been liberal for the longest time. Hating the authority, hating republican candidates for trying to censor their games. Now, it's the other way around with liberals trying to censor the games, but in a different way.

It's hilarious in a way.

but like...gamergate.

getting called every slur in the known human language back in like 2000s to 2010s when I was like a baby.

To some extent I understand the concept of video game wokeness being incredibly annoying and inauthentic. Like they get on their high horse about shoved in representation they didn't do correctly then insult their fanbase.

I'm mad liberal but these tv shows and video games are just trying to make a quick buck off of my beliefs.
and also tits.

It was only within the last 10 years during gamer gate where they started trending more towards conservatism.
Like, all you had to do was stay the hell away from video games and you'd have never lost that base.
Nope, you didn't leave good enough alone.

Now you got a ton of gamers who started voting differently.
It's sad in a way, but you can tell they hate us by trying to destroy the things we enjoy.
