RPGs are all about choice
The reviewers may generally have loved this game but the audience won't and we will see how this game flops so bad and the word of mouth will also be bad.
>>693319317>all choices lead to the same resultsLazy, illusion of choice garbage. I don't know how they spent so much money on this trash without even having any branches.
>doing worse that bethesda's>yes>yes (sarcastic)>no>tell me more (yes)bloody hell

this is literally dragon age 2why you idiots love that game but not this one?fuck sake

>>693319317W-what happens if I don't validate Taash's identity disorder every millisecond in this game?
1. Accept transfolx2. Accept transfolx3. Accept transfolx4. Accept transfolx, you nazi gamer>what, you were expecting a fantasy adventure with dragons and stuff?
>>693320013Don't worry, you're not given an option to do that.
>>693319317That's how leftoids wish they can control your thoughts.
>>693319854Nobody loves DA2 on /v/. Maybe some do, but they're contrarians.
>>693320013you can't do that
>>693319854>why you idiots love that game but not this one? Nobody loves Dragon Age 2 and nobody has ever said they love Dragon Age 2. It was a rushed, ugly mess and its sole redeeming quality is that Merrill was a cutie with an unusual romance.
>>693319854when did i ever say i loved da2
>>693319862Who is the target audience for this???
>>693320474Twitter and wine aunts.
>>693319317>1. Ok>2. Ok>3. Ok>4. Yeah, me tooLol, nice """roleplaying""" dragonsisters.
>>693319862jesus christ
>>693319862>I HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT>IM A DRAGON SLAYERHoly kek why is the voice acting so bad
>>693319854The decisions you make in DA2, for the most part, are NOT tied to the "personality colours." It's usually your reasoning behind a given decision that are. The exception are unique choices for a given personality - like being able to intimidate a demon into not fighting you if you've mostly made Direct choices.
>>693320474Wrong question. Who is NOT the target audience for his is the real question.
>>693320697>I AM A DRAGON SLAYER.>I AAAMM A DRAGON SLAYER.
>No option to convince her to keep she/her pronounsNice "choice" Bioware
1) buy2) don't buyThese are the only options I need!
>>693320013Can I have least have that thing killed? Or not recruited?
>>693319317Gayest shit ive seen from Bioware and that says something
>>693320998Apparently you cannot proceed to the endgame missions until you have resolved all of the companion quests so you're basically forced to deal with all that shit. As for being able to skip its recruitment, lol, lmao
>>693320474faggots
>>693320964>1) buy>2) don't buy>These are the only options I need!1. Buy2. Don't buy3. Pirate4. Refund
>>693320998no apparently the companion quests are mandatory and completely disconnected from the main story if the Shill Up review is to be believed
>>693320951sorry chud, rook isn't a frickin' bigot

>Someone got payed a 6 figure salary to write this
>>693322154The world is not fair.
>>693319317You could use all of those in one response.>I feel like that too, you're allowed to feel things but you're the one in control here, our team is with you.
>>693319317They're all the same. Why even have a dialogue choice here if it's forced? And this dialogue better not relate to something tranny otherwise that's just hateful.
>>693319317i'm more disgusted by how the answers are arranged on the circle
>>693319862just skipping around, their voices sound so annoying. who was in charge of the voice direction for this?
>>693319317honestly more of the choice wheels are like this than are not.started paying more attention to them in the footage that's posted here and almost every single choice is a different flavor of passivity or subservient validation
>>693319317>even the choices are post-censored
>>693319317>Make a fantasy game>Roleplay as fantasy gendersI don't see the problem here.
>>693319567>ACKSHULLY illusion of choice can be alright, for example if one of those options was 'Stop fucking whining' but it still lead to the exact same outcome, at least you'd feel like you're role-playing. This isn't illusion of choice, this is just rephrasing the same sentence 4 times.
>>693324151>better not relate to something trannyYou know it does.
>>693319862what the fuck is that writing? who talks like that?
for me if the dialogue choices in a game don't actually say what the character is going to say, then I don't playit's as shrimple as that. Looking squarely at you fallout 4
>>693325401Sorry, my face is tired right now.
>>693319558>my friends liked my drawing. i hope the general indifferent public will like it too!how many times do we have to do this until they understand that people aren't forced to care
>>693320474You but it's to make you speak and vote like a californian or failing that, to irritate you, not to make you have fun.
>>693325401from the talented folks who brought you Mass Effect Andromeda although I think the lead for DAV is a new person who didn't even work on that so it's even worse
>>693320013You're given five options and all of them are mandatory trans worship. The option to not approve isn't given.
>>693324649>circus criminalsThe fuck does this even mean? Circus clowns or crooked criminals. You can't merge those two things, they won't make sense. Was this written by someone who is ESL
>>693319862A complaint I have that isn't really the same one /v/ has is that these characters are always coded to be black or asian or some shit these days. They constantly double down on their minorities, like they know that making a white guy a tranny will fuck sales too much and they think they can have the best of both worlds
>>69332061834 copies sold nationwide!
>>693319317>RPGs are all about choiceRemember all the good Bioware devs jumped ship and work with Larian now
Watching some footage and the fact you have to select the [more] option to see two whole extra choices is worse than any of the awful writing.
>>693319862It's so on the nose. I can't believe people are forcing themselves to like this just to own the chuds.
>>693326172Circus criminals are people who commit crimes at and related to the circus. You know, the one with the chariot races. So illegal gambling and match fixing, that kind of thing.
>>693319862jesus christthis is like if someone imagined up a conversation that they thought sounded cool, but when actually spoken it sounds retarded and unnatural as shitEven chatgpt would've provided more realistic writing
>>693319317Oh look. Another incel thread
>>693319620>no (no reaction, it just returns to the previous dialogue wheel full of yes)
>>693319317Why am I still desperately chasing a feeling that a computer game managed to make me feel fifteen years ago?
>>693326559Sometimes when I'm asleep, I imagine a scenario and I think it's cool, but then I wake up and realize it was actually retarded.
>>693326635No matter what your groomer said. You can either be male or female. You are and will always be male, regardless of your poor decision of dressing like the woman you'll never be.
>>693326559It's a self insert troon character to live the fantasy of winning every conversation.Of course someone who thinks it's natural to use drugs and sharp objects to change your gender will also think this is cool. It's the type of fanfic I'd write when I was 10
>>693319317Show me one peer reviewed that proves giving players actual choices is a good thing
>>693319317>we agree>you're right>you're right>I agreeThey've successfully implemented JRPG levels of roleplaying in a WRPG.
>>693319862At the end of the misgendering scene while the lf is doing pushups, Taash yells "bend your knees!". Who the fuck bends their knees to do pushups? Has anyone in the writer's room every done a pushup?
>>693326916>Has anyone in the writer's room every done a pushup?You goddamn know the answer to that.
>>693322154>payedYou sound like you could be a Bioware writer.
>>693326916>Who the fuck bends their knees to do pushups?Women. But you're correct it doesn't make sense to say that when trying to "correct" someone's form.
>>693326916This is such an easily verifiable lie that I don't even know why someone would post this.Yes we're all making fun of this retarded shit but why? >If you go to the top of the page you'll see that 4chan is sponsored by BiowareWHY? Why would any person over the age of 4 lie about something so simple that takes 2 clicks to verify
>>693326916idk the context but it's a thing, if you put your knee on the floor it creates an easier pushup variation, if you bend them but keep the knee elevated it's a table position which is more of a static hold than pushup
>>693327207turn off your adblock...
>>69332722324:45>Heart's in, the right place. Form's a little sloppy though.The context is to correct her form. So, no, it doesn't make sense.
Imagine if this game had actually let you go full renegade and harrass your tranny companions
>>693322154>gamedev>6 figureslol, lmao
>>693319317These are the options that you have right before those ones.You can either understand their rage, accept it or deal with it. What a fucking wonderful world of options.
>>693327554He's probably living in venezuela, 6 figures will get you half a raw chicken there.
>>693319317Why's every option supportive? Where's the dialog option to tell him to fuck off? Are they going to drop renegade dialog options for Mass Effect 4?
Meanwhile, in ye olde crpgs
>>693319862holy shit skillup didnt like it really is like talking to two kids bickeringwhoever made this game is a closet pedophile
>>693327698>Why's every option supportive?So they don't have to record that many voicelines. At most, you get one voice line that is a minor variation per option, then every voiceline afterward is identical. They can do this because you have no choices.
>>693319862I like how when you hover on a choice there's an icon that tells you blatantly "GOOD CHOICE" because they expect their audience to be as mature as the writing of the game
>>693327698yeah, representation means your writing isn't as free because it would be a bad look to be "punching down" on the group being represented by allowing them to be mistreated in renegade playthroughs. can't have chuds acting out their fantasies
>>693319862Tranny shit aside, the voice acting and writing are so fucking bad
>>693327698It's only 100% supportive with the troon you can be "against" the other companions in a very tepid manner with things like "I disagree with that"There's no dialog option to tell anyone to fuck off, it's just pathetic troon self inserts to live their power fantasyAnd Of course mass effect is going to be even worse, what did you expect? They killed that franchise even before this abortion.
>>693328006Hey, someone's gotta teach children that they can imagine anything about their sexuality and people have to deal with it and agree or you'll scream at them.
>>693326916>Who the fuck bends their knees to do pushups?its a common thing to say to overweight people who try to do pushups, it becomes impossible to do even 1 when you are too fat, bending the knees helps them get off some weight
>>693324961>at least you'd feel like you're role-playingthat's not choice. that's just like jarpigs. CRPGs are supposed to be set apart by actually letting the story branch.
>>693319317Very true
>>693328026Some of the acting must be fucking AIThe writing, well, nothing to say there, it's probably the worse of any game.The animation, the color, the caracters, there's not a single thing that makes this acceptable.
>>693327698From the review I watched you literally are unable to be mean to people in this game, as in, anyone at all.Also you treat your companions like toddlers.
I have never played a BioSlop game
>>693328026the writing, the acting, the """"faces"""" it's all so fucking off putting, its like a parody of dragon age
This is brilliant.It's like a parody of a late 00's webcomic.
>>693319317I wonder if AI can rewrite all of the dialogue to be more mature and generate new voices to go with it. AI is actually very good at judging a text's "maturity".
>>693328245There's one when you can tell the midget that you are not happy with her decision or something like that.That's a meanie thing to say in a rated E game like this.
>>693320120Yes. In the old days it was believed men who's wives slept with other men, grew horns on their head.
>>693319317It's a little jarring. I just got done playing some Rogue Trader and the shit that you can say and do, not just to random NPCs, but to your own crew is amazing to behold. That's a game that really gives you choices. These? These are not meaningful choices.
>>693327554How is six figures in the game industry crazy for you? Senior/Lead positions easily go $100K plus. I alone get paid $150k in my position.
>>693328164what game
>>693328501I fucked the sandnig thief for a while until she accepted she was just a street rat pretending to be a princess , then I literally executed her in the middle of the bridge.Have also killed 2 of the companions before they even had a chance to come into my team.But here, you have the option to agree with the mental illness, love it, like it or accept it.It's actually fucking crazy.
>>693328686You are also mentally ill and a highschool kid who wishes he could become a game developer earning more than a burger flipper, nobody gives a fucking . Faggot.
>>693319317Whelp. Time to replay Deus Ex and New Vegas again to wash the writing of this game out of my brain.
>>693319558>The reviewers may generally have loved this gameDoubtful. They got paid a fat chunk of cash to say they loved it and give it perfect scores though. No way they actually think this is a 10/10 game.
>>693328709Forest of Pandora
>>693328781lmfao man what a nigger you must be to think it's impossible to be a game developer.
>>693328026Some of them have added reverb, some of them sound like they were recorded in a closet. lmao
>>693328501My favorite thing in rogue trader is getting Abelard to introduce me to everybodyIt really helps sell the feeling of being the top of the political food chain
>>693328019>representation means your writing isn't as free because it would be a bad look to be "punching down" on the group being represented by allowing them to be mistreated in renegade playthroughsthis is why (((representation))) is a tumor in vidya. gotta make the (((minority))) character look good. can't have them being unfairly treated or enduring hardship. gotta shill the chosen (((minority)))
>>693328835thanks, seems like a real rpg
>>693328456I guess this game is what happens when you force the people who dont like picking the mean dialogue option is games to make a gameOr thats what I would say if I didnt know better, christ.
>>693328835>left character has a braWait is the female protag?
>>693319317EVEN YOUR CONVERSATIONS ARE A FUCKING QUEST LOL
>>693319317Feel this *unzips pants*
>>693328835This somehow has less gay writing than Veilguard!
>>693327562>literally just three flavors of "i'm here if you need to talk"every wheel i've seen is like this
>>693329237futa on female is extremely straight
>>693329157In my head a popup just appear with the elden ring font saying CONVERSATION DEFEATED
>>693327060newfag
>>693327562>>693319317>no option to call her tRash instead of taash
>>693329290>futa on female>anal>not impregnationWHAT A WASTE
>>693322154Life is a fuck
>>693329135Haha.. No.
>>693329267This is low even for nu-bioware. They're not just happy promoting mental illness, they have to make sure EVERYTHING aboutt their "game" is shit.
>>693319862This is Saturday morning cartoon shit.
>>693326859ThisIt's craZy how many people forget this games Lead Dev is an actual tranny
>>693319862>I'm a scholar, I was taught to think critically, analyze without passion, correct mistakes>Taash says something that makes 0 sense factually>Shathann: Then what are you>Taash: JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME OKAYJesus Christ it's like they can still see this gender shit makes no sense, but it doesn't matter because muh feelings
This game has no balls whatsoever.
>>693329426Absolutely revoltingBut still somehow less gay than DAV
>>693319862>"there's not always time for big drawn out apologies">proceeds to "apologize" in the most attention whore-y way possiblebruh>"but pulling a bharv, you sweat a little"Bitch, it's 10 pushups.
>>693328938I work in audio and holy fuck how could an AAA studio fuck up voice recording so badly. It's literally so simple to do, a good sounding voice recordings don't have to be expensive either
>>693319362You're in control here, our team is with you, you're allowed to feel things, I feel like that too.
>>693324649>WHO IS THIS HUMAN BEING WITH A TOTALLY VALID VIEW OF THE WORLD, IF I MAY ASK?
When did /v/ become so transphobic? Is this a /pol/psyop?
>>693326507remember, it doesn't matter how many flops we put out. all that matters is owning those goddamn chuds!
>>693331150Small price to pay to won the chuds!
>>693330916The lead dev of this game is a tranny. That's why the game is so shit, Anon-kun...
>>693319854You can give a slave back to his master in DA2.
>>693320120That shit was so out of place but at least it got a laugh out of me just because it surprised me
>>693319362You're allowed to feel things
>>693320120Why does this one NPC like using the cuck word so much?
>>693319558>The reviewers may generally have loved this gameThe check cleared. I don't think any of them like games at all.
>>693320998not only do you have to recruit her, you are forced to watch her come out to her mom.
>>693319391lmao
>>693319317>>693324649here's another compelling choice
>>693319362I feel like that too. Tightening the noose as I type. See you soon
>>693319317>Yes>Yes!>Yes?>Yes...
>>693332267This game is a big Oof.
>>693319862Just that first bit alone is so flat in the delivery
>>693332267Oooof, okay, let's unpack this...
the gay stuff is at least good, right?
>>693320120This was very funny though, cuck.
>>693332267>oofchat is this real
>>693332267YIKES!!!
>>693324621The shillup review literally says that lol. Idk why people think he’s cherry picking because if you go watch the positive reviews it’s the exact same shit everywhere. The astroturfing for this game is insane.
>>693332175Can I kill her Mom to release her from her suffering?
>>693320474White Dudes for Harris
>>693329682>thanks their host and promptly leavesthat gigantic fivehead is hiding the only brain in this game
>>693328113even everybody's favourite classic (game one praises but doesn't play) planescape:torment has plenty of consequence-free choices purely for roleplaying or exposition purposesrealistically speaking, a story may branch only so many times and in so many ways, before it's actually impossible to manage scope, so expressing different attitudes (along the same set path) is a perfectly fine way to do thatillusion of choice works under the assumption that the player doesn't know what's pure fluff and what has mechanical effects that's why telltale's story-games are a total scam
>>693324621I get that
>>693327837Of course he didn’t lie. Go watch his review and then watch the positive ones. Pay attention to the dialogue bits only. He’s not cherry picking.
>>693320474>who is the target audience It's /v/. >>693327504
>>693334195/v/ has been straight for cute trannies since before you were born.
>>693320964Sorry, you're being given new purchase options, courtesy of Bioware:1) Buy2) Buy two copies, one for a friend3) Buy the most expensive addition4) "Hmmm, I'm not too sure..." (wait a day, and then buy)
>>693327504fatty
>>693319854DA2 is awful
>>693319854I played way too much DA2, more of it than any other Dragon Age game even, and the only thing I will say in praise of that rushed-out shitheap is that Merril activates my boner.
>>693334195>4cucks is the modern audienceNow it makes sense.
>>693320120Is Veilguard finally making /v/ realize that BG3 was based?
>>693319854You can contradict your companion on almost anything in DA 2. You can tell ex-slave that you don't see anything wrong with slavery. You can tell the elf girl that her treehugging tribe is stupid.
>>693319862I made it 4 minutes in before I started to feel a little ill.
>>693319317>yes (transitioned)That's a new one, never before seen depth of choice
>>693332105Looks like slight variants of the same line depending on what line you pick.
>>693319317>I don't want to be thatXhey don't want to be WHAT? What is the full context?
>>693332105I mean...look at his head...
>>693326635Stop with the transphobia
>>693329157>conversation quest where the boss you have to beat is her momunreal lmao
>>693319862>was honestly considering pirating this if I got boredNah EA, you send me that check and I'll play it.Send me a big enough one and I'll even review it positively.
>>693319854>why you idiots love that game but not this one?
>>693328026The animation is uncanny
>>693319862I never imagined it being this bad, this whole game feels like a /pol psyop to make liberals look like fools
>>693319854>>693335493Yeah DA2 was flawed as Hell but I don't know why people would act like it was a game where you were only ever allowed to agree with everyone in three slightly different but still good-natured ways. You could stab your sibling in the back, you could sell an ally into slavery, you could romance a mage and convince her to genocide other mages. The only similarity is that both games are using a dialogue wheel.
>>693338173That's a return to form for Bioware. Their 3D animation has always been awkward, stiff and clumsy.
>>693319362It matters, sister. I'm buying a copy for myself, I'll also buy you a copy.
>>693335294It's making me realize that Inquisition was more subtle than I gave it credit for
>>693319854Player agency
>>693338380polturds are too dumb to pull something like this.
>>693338491>The Qun is totally heckin trans inclusive! Our society respects your feelings about your gender!Inquisition started this, faggot.
>>693320120I actually liked this guy. A dumb violent bandit that got obsessed with one insult and uses it constantly is realistic and kind of funny. "Cuck" is also notably NOT a modern insult, and actually a good choice for the genre and setting of DnD. Even Shakespear himself used cuckold as an insult in his plays
>>693326456>eight selections possible>four selections left unused>one used to show more>show more only adds two extra choicesWhat kind of thought process leads to this design?
>>693338639As told to you by a SPY
>>693319317You really can't be mean in any way to it can you.
>>693319862>male character tries to reprimand female character for... something?>RELAX SMALL PATHETIC MAN, I AM A BIG STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMYN What natural sounding dialogue for a medieval fantasy game.
>>693319317When people said you should write what you know I don't think they meant your therapy sessions, HR conflict resolution meetings, and lgbt support groups.
>>693332517Good in what sense? The entire game is low quality.
>>693338639It was a weak retcon but it was pandering with a minor character that you didn't really have to interact with much. That's compared to a major party member making it their entire arc and who you're apparently only ever allowed to act one way with.
>>693320120Fuck it, BG3 for GOTY 2024.
>>693319317Life imitates art.
>>693320234>>693320319da2 was great for having party members shit talking each othergame was trash but party was comfy
>>693338662It's probably some bullshit about certain types of answers only appearing in certain spots because the modern audience will be unable to tell from the text alone.
>>693319317>Traash
>>693319854No one like DA2 zoomie
>>693320319>>693339625I liked DA2 for what it was, but the shitty parts were really shitty. Besides, it was made in one year and rushed out the door.
>>693320120>Calls you a cuck and tries to kill you regardless of what you chooseNeed more random encounters like this.
>>693319317>"argumentative" option doesn't even allow you to argueThis isn't an RPG. It's a tranny hugbox simulator built on the violated corpse of a studio that hasn't been competent in 10+ years but whose brand is still somehow clinging to relevance.
>>693319317it’s another "””””””””””””””””rpg””””””””””””””””””” that isnt an rpg at allMight as well make a steam tag for bethesdalikes bc that’s what it is
>>693340024it's been so long so maybe i've just forgotten all the bad points but i have really fond memories of the party membersthe isabela/aveline/merril bants were great
>>693340137You mean 20+ years.
What mods could make the game playable? Not even save the game, just make it playable>ai voice lines completely replacing current chat options and responses>model/texture overhaul mods>combat balancing tweaksThat'd be the top three off the top of my head, but even then, the combat mechanics themselves still look like dogshit and the core story seems mad boring.
>>693339930it's funny that the writers say that this man-faced zesty nigga was actually born female
>>693339930That character was born as a woman and identifies as "non binary" retard-kun. I know you really wanted to make tranny memes about a game you don't care about, but you've got it all backwards.
>>693320120that was absolutely cringe and wrong
>>693340910Cope.
>>693319854>Deflecting with headcanonThis is trannies and left wing subhumans in general
>>693341371Look, the game sucks, but if you're gonna shit on it at least try to know what you're shitting on instead of just pulling shit out of your ass.
>>693319854>why do you love DA2?
>>693319854>this is literally dragon age 2You mean the game that confirmed that Bioware was dead and EA killed them? That Dragon Age 2?
>>693341446The game is a joke anon. The character clearly is modeled to look like a man but has a female voice actress. People's eyes aren't lying to them. That's a man even if they say it's a woman pretending to be non-binary. That's a man, baby!But let's not get caught up in the weeds. Man, woman, non-binary. Doesn't matter. Horrible writing, that's one reason why this game sucks ASS.
>>693341570You're still wrong, which makes it seem like you barely even care about the game and just want an excuse to talk about trannies.
>>693319317And Veilguard delivers. It is a true return to form from BioWare, everyone should play it and experience the joy and immersion it brings.
>>693319317Remember this when you vote next week.
>>693319854I was here for hamburger helper and RINU ENDS HERE and believe me no one fucking loves DA2 outside of the shitshow it was
>>69331931711 HOURS UNTIL THE 2025 TORTANIC IS RELEASED
They obviously wouldnt allow you to be transphobic. You can probably roleplay as an asshole, but only the kind that hates racists and transphobes.
>>693341898why hint at issues in this M rated game if they don't think the audience is mature enough to deal with them
>>693341172Found the cuck
>>693319862The people who write this shit have spent WAY too much time in therapy, holy fuck.
LAME AND GAY
So we still have never had a female Qunari companion in any of the games
>>693319862Organic humans do not speak this way
>>693320120author projections that has nothing to do with reality
>>693341898There are almost no asshole dialogue options, and the ones that are slightly mean are like>select option to call someone an idiot>your character doesn't say anything related to the option
>>693342245Excuse me sir, but you just Pulled a Barv. I'm going to need to to drop and do ten pushups NOW to show you are sorry
>>693342464All dialogue options are positive affirmation only because its made by people who should be working in HR
>>693332118You can't tell me professional video game reviewers in 2024 don't hate video games.
>>693319317>You're in control hereIronic
>>693339930Reminder this is what female Qunari looked like in the comics.
>>693319854>DA2-ACK
>>693319854>why you idiots love that game
>>693319862Barely 30 seconds in and I already closed this shit.This industry truly is fucked.
>>693319854Why is the indian woman voiced by a man?!
>>693319862>hands on hips the whole time
>>693329682I literally had a debate with one over on /co/ (yeah I know) and I just wanted ANYTHING that could even be used as a reasoning for why/how someone can "be a woman" internally, and by their own word, it was purely down to them "knowing" that they were, with nothing to actually back up that "knowledge". By their own words, it's quite literally build on feelings and "It came to me in a dream" tier shit.
>>693319862What is this voice acting? Is this AI?
>>693343279Almost certainly yes, along with most of the writing.
>>693319317A fun house is a linear sequence of scares. “Take it or leave it” is the only choice given. Makes you think about free will.
>>693324649>>693326172>circus criminalsI just call them gypsies.
>>693319558My favorite thing?>critic score is in direct opposition to audience score>game reviewers treat this as a problem, call it being metabombed >movie industry understands this is just par for the course and doesn't care when it happens because audiences and critics have different priorities >game critics treat it like the audience is directly attacking the multibillion dollar company and feel a need to defend themIt's just more proof that video game journalism is a dumping ground for writers who aren't smart enough to write compelling things.
>>693320474Me. I'm a proud racist homophobe and I love laughing at the freaks.
>>693319317Option>Fuck off, tranny!Actual response>You are stunning and brave
>>693338505why would /pol/ be too dumb to make shit games? cuckold simulator exists
>>693343867>movie industry understands this is just par for the course and doesn't care when it happens because audiences and critics have different prioritiest. man living under rock for 10 years
>>693343867>>693319558The current reviews are screened and cultivated. They didn't give advance copies to anyone that showed even the slightest hint that they wouldn't mindlessly shill for them. Expect honest reviews to be out a week or two after release.
>>693341654The writing is trash, you can't say I'm wrong about that.
>>693319854
>>693319317>>693324487>choices are numbered clockwise on one side then anti-clockwise on the otherthis game has to be an exceedingly elaborate troll
PULL A BARV, CHUDS!
>>693329372women can't impregnate women retard
>>693344668That is not ok to say. Ten pushups now
>>693344348
>>693344654>>693342469l bet the writer was really hoping that expression would unironically take off when he wrote that shit kek
>>693339774>certain types of answersEven though they're all yes???
>>693320474The "modern audience", AKA an audience that either doesn't exist, don't even play video games, too small to actually make this game profitable or some combination of the 3.
>>693319862Didn't they fire the woman who wrote dialogue for the Arishok? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QeADMC1NzoI miss the Arishok.
Can I simply never ever use Trash in party or engage with their quests? Do they at least allow that option?
>>693332517First you tell me what the precedent for """good""" gay stuff is.
>>693344865I can't believe he just pulled a barve. At LEAST ten push ups chud.
>>693344978>Do they at least allow that option?
>>693326992We all know these companies stop giving a shit after June, or never give a shit at all in certain countries. It's all an act just to make them look good.
>>693319854>why you idiots love that gameGo away, Ranjeet.
>>693344978You're forced to deal with it, it's not optional. Every party member is mandatory and you can only kill them off at the very end of the game
>>693344654Is there a direct conversion rate for intolerance -> pushups? Like what's the rate for telling a woman she's wrong or dropping an n bomb?
>>693332105He knows you romanced Shart on your first playthrough
>>693345074Damn, at least in Pathfinder 2 i could just instantly ditch every quipping twitterino that would potentially join my party.
>>693344898Sounds like a woman's writing tbdesu.
>>693345242Same goes for Baldur's Gate which gets shit on for being "woke", but never goes to such lengths to shove shit down your throat. You have freedom in who you want in your party. Not this game though.
>>693344978>>693345242You're also forced to do all the companion quests.https://files.catbox.moe/0b1gdd.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/3im089.mp4>>693304894
>>693345248woman's (male's) writing btw
>>693345321PULLINGABARVE
>>693345321the facial animations are so stiff and hardly match the audio being spoken. Who thought this looked alright?
>>693342469I don't get the reference
>>693345074>only at the end of the gameYeah ME2's Suicide Mission this is not, I don't even care for most of these characters, unless they're all new people that can potentially die, then I don't care about any of them.
>>693319854Who in the world liked DA2?
>pathfinder>you can just ignore annoying companions>bg3 >you can ignore, straight up murder, or stall to get comedic deaths for annoying companions such as Wyll turning into a slime pile>dragon age shartguard>NOOOOOO ALL COMPANION QUESTS ARE MANDATORY YOU MUST DO ALL OF THEMlol, lmaothe tonedeaf is off the charts. The reason bg3 just werked is bc you can generally do whatever the fuck you want except for the fact that the main story railroads you to an ending
>>693319854DA2 is the game that made me drop the Dragon Age franchise as a whole.
>the ones who perform the most barves inevitably become the most /fit/ individualsWhat did they mean by this? Should I be incorporating this technique into my daily racism?
>>693345294I can't just create a custom party at the start of the game like I can in BG1/2, so I will continue to shit on it.
>>693345728Isobel doing all that show and then called her a disgusting freak just to do another 10 would have had actual impact
>>693319317Same tier as a jarpig then
>>693345739>I can't just create a custom party at the start of the game like I can in BG1/2that wasnt possible in those games either unless you used a multiplayer session.
>>693321874>shillup's audience is so fucking stupid he has to keep telling them his views are just his opinionlolLMAO
>>693345728>instead of going to the gym you just run around and scream "nigger" and "faggot" at everyone>then you pull a barve for a quick arm workout>they forgive you because you had to sweat and think about it>get gainz while getting the rush of shouting slurs
"RPGs are about choice" according to fucking who, you're parroting dumb game magazine bullshit from people championing WRPGs over JRPGs
>>693345895Reminds me of Stallone getting all those fines in Demolition Man just so he could wipe his ass
>>693319317These writers should go on strike to get paid better.
>>693345850>it wasn't possible except it was possible
>>693345321>>693304894>EA took it downIt's actually still up, just the web player is blocked by the DMCA notification.You can grab it with any yt downloader like loader.to
>>693346015you can do pretty much the same in BG3 though you just need to open 4 clients to create the savegame once.
bg3 does not mention gender identity a single time in dialogue the entire game and the only time it is “woke” it is referencing non player lesbian sex scenes that aren’t shownAnd the only trans character in the game is a literal circus act drag queen that is played for laughs
>>693319854Dragon Age 2 is the game that made me stop preordering things.
>>693346089You can make a full party of hirelings in bg3 like 2 hours in, you don’t even need to be that autistic about itThe moment withers says you can recruit, you can do it
>>693321874This is the kind of writing you get when you believe subtext is all bad. Being brave enough to slap your themes on the table is a sign of a good writer, but writing is mostly crafting context and subtext. Ideally, you have redundancy in context and subtext. That way, you can make sure the audience gets it while not insultingly patronizing them this way.
>>693319862>Taash, don't you like being a woman?>>"Pff, no one LIKES being a woman">Player: Taash, if something about being a woman is hurting you, I don't think it's stupid at all."holy fuck I just want to fucking play video games I don't want to hear about {CURRENT HOTBUTTON ISSUE WITH IDENTITY}. I don't want to hear how the villain is named Dorvald Tarmp or Ellen Maersk and how they're going to stop anti-magic bigots or whatever the FUCK.Shit like this makes Baldurs Gate 3 look like the greatest fiction ever conceived by comparison.
>>693345946>RPG without choiceWe already have a genre for that, dumbass.It's called "adventure".Fucking retards get off my board.
>>693345946Okay but this is clearly a WRPG and choice has been built into its entirety identity. And they gave you the semblance of choice, but really all the answers just mean the same thing. You are forced to agree, forced to be nice, whereas in previous games you had the option to disagree and be mean to people on your team, which would affect the story and the relationships of people.
>>693319862>grrr i just get this tranny autistic rage where I need to shit and piss everywhere you HAVE to understand
>>693346359I bet you the tranny that wrote this shitty dialogue is getting into arguments online right now with people saying xer game is trash kek
aren't you supposed to be saving your world/country/friends from some big evil, why the fuck is there so much sitting around talking about being a tranny?
>>693319317who the fuck talks like that
>>693346359This character is an insufferable autist. Put it in the fucking hugbox before it punches a hole in the wall.
Bg3 had memorable characters regardless of what you say about the actual game, there are still shadowheart and froglady threads dailyWhat characters does this game have? Even the taash my face is tired threads won’t stand the test of time
>>693346425the fade demons win if you don't calm the thing down
>>693346425I skipped ahead and there's a lengthy scene at a fucking dinner table between the troon and its mother where the mom apologizes for not being a good enough mother to xer horny troon daughter
>>693346212>2 hours in>not custom
>>693346346We're ready to finally have the conversation.Most WRPGs are visual novels with a shitty D&D adaptation bolted on, and there can't be a WRPG that has "choices that matter" without also hitting the following criteria:>It can't be a AAA game or otherwise have a very large budget, to wit>It can't have mass appeal, because>It can't be focus tested or sanitized for unpleasant or bad optionsThe WRPGs that get championed for freedom of choice or writing creativity are now decades old, were not made for mass audiences, and their gameplay was hot ass. They were glorified GUIs for VNs. And that's when they were at their best. Also people overblow just how complicated they actually were. Keeping a writing project consistent and of good make throughout the entire experience as described is fucking nightmarish, even in these old games that were much better thought out and much tighter, choices didn't tend to matter too much past the dialogue tree and its immediate consequences
>>693346272you understand my pain, anon.
>>693332105Twitter roleplay
>>693346359So do "they" learn that such rage can be damaging, and should at the very least be funneled into something productive, or do you just affirm that "they're" right to feel that way?
>>693346504I really like sharts canonically hairy pussy.
>>693346650I'm not here to have a philosophical debate about whether WRPGs are a bad genre or not. I'm here to state the obvious: Dragon Age Veilguard is an atrocious abominable shitheap of a game compared to any JRPG or WRPG that came before it. It's complete trash, no debate necessary.
>>693346698>or do you just affirm that "they're" right to feel that way?You are valid
>>693346743It's a product of its time and we can't discuss it without discussing the circumstances and conditions that led to it. Namely its studio is a shambling zombie, it's trying to be a AAA western RPG, and it's from a series that wasn't ever particularly known for its quality.
>>693346698nigga you really made me check and see... it's just "no, you're stronger than this! you don't need to worry about your rage! you killed a dragon! you can confront your mother!" which leads to the fucking dinner scene (wow! just like james joyce!)
>>693346559I was just being generous bc you have to do the mr skeletal fight before you can get withers in your campOn average that will be about 2 hours for most people bc act 1 is pretty goddamn open. I’ve seen people straight up miss Laezel in the cage
>>693346743don't you mean it's completely...traash?
>>693346831>pulling a barvePush-ups, NOW.
>>693338380nope, us barveheads just completely correct about progressives
>>693346789why isn't there an option to disagree with them?
>>693319317>RPG>ROLE >PLAYING>GAME>only role you can play is a goody-two shoes and forced to be positive without the player's inputFuck off Bioware
>>693346789>>693346826I have literally never seen a story where a man is angry, tells others how they're always angry, and it being supported.Even most revenge stories have a veneer of "This is self destructive."
>>693319656hahaha
>>693346893Disagreeing with trannies is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
>your character now identifies as transgender, this has unlocked future dialogue options!Nothing bg3 did came even close to being this cringe
>>693346850>Push-ups, NOW.
>>693346650>JRPig retard starts sperging out about irrelevant topic
>>693346932The state of Bioware has become utterly grim. In Mass Effect 1, literally one of the first encounters you can punch a crazy guy to sleep to control the situation. Modern Bioware has been completely butchered from top to bottom
>>693346939>White>literally named Mr. Furious>Closest friends support him in his rage ("You moved a city bus, Roy!")>Saves Champion City>Gets the girlMystery Men was the last truly based piece of media
>>693346789what the fuckWhy even have dialogue options in the first place
>>693347026Remember you could punch a reporter in one of the Mass Effect games? Will never happen ever again. The edge is completely gone
in case you're too dumb to realize; that's troon propaganda
>>693346980idk man, letting jonah jamesons immortal mcguffin go free was one of the gayest cutscenes ive seen
>>693346789This is worse than bethesda because at least bethesda puts [irrelevant skill check] into one of the options to make you think you have a choice
>Thought all the comments about the character being a troon were just /v/ being /v/>game actually has a fucking non-binary sidequest full of VERY IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL DIALOGUEHave you ever felt that way, like you couldn't feel anything, and you didn't want to?
>>693347221There were so few cutscenes in that game that i don’t even know which one you are talking aboutThe only ones i remember are the act 3 ones bc they were so dogshit they felt like storyboard placeholders and they still never fixed them after all the patches
>>693319317this is going to sell a billion copies because of shitposting
>>693347469People said the same about Concord.The truth is, memes don't sell.
>>693347002>warpig begins blaming jarpig for his subgenre's foibles
>>693347524Asmon is going to play it tommorow to 100k viewers, that's atleast a million sales right there.
>>693347026>>693347134>bioware market researcher reads this thread>"punching reporters? journalists? why? every journalists is good people">send word to devs>"seems like they want to be able to punch people for literally no reason">next game>see token right-winger>you can tell because he's the only guy in the scene not flossing his mouth with niggerdick (and visibly disapproves of everyone else doing it)>go up to talk>"yeah, what?">only option is to punch him>every publication:>"you can punch nazis in this game! it's better than bear sex!"
>>693347570not one person that watches tardmangold spends money on games
>>693347469Curious how this one is going to go. I'll admit I was cautiously curious about it, even after the reveal trailer, because early impressions were positive. Then the reviews came out and were bretty good. But now it's clear it's just some gen z schlock stuffed with awkward and cringey IMPORTANT SOCIAL MESSAGING.I could see it doing okay in sales, but I would be genuinely shocked if this were a runaway hit. They'll probably leech some sales off of Baldurs Gate 3's popularity alone, but word of mouth is going to be bad for this shit. Even Redditors will reject it over the quippy marvel dialogue.
>>693347284Hearing non-binary in a fantasy setting is very arring, it sounds so modern like if she had just said "I'm a skibidi toilet, mom." You'd think they'd try a little worldbuilding and make up some dumb word for being neither male or female instead.
>>693347469Yeah no, that doesn't work. It will definitely sell more than Concord at least because Bioware/Dragon Age at least has a built-in audience, but those are the only ones playing this crap.
>>693347679>You'd think they'd try a little worldbuilding and make up some dumb word for being neither male or female instead.they did :( the troon gets angry ("Why can't you just be happy for me?! I'm non-binary!!")
>mfw i never even played the first gameWat do?
>>693339393shadowfart
>>693347570He’s too busy having his midlife crisis to play vidya
>>693347784you should play the first game
>>693347784Play it 10 years ago
>>693347784The first game is pretty good, though it's been 15 years since I last played it so maybe it's a piece of shit now.
>>693347784play the first game and then stop
>>693347754God why tf do the qunari look like that nowIt’s so fucking embarrassing
>>693347891
>>693347784This is like a genuine 7.5/10 game. Decent time waster, unlike this shit
>>693347784It's still full of faggots. One wouldn't care back then since they stayed in the closet until prompted to emerge, but in retrospect it's still a really gay, somewhat boring RPG with a lame ending.
>>693320120>>693331947It's an ancient insult.
>>693347948It had one faggot, and he could even be killed before even being let into the party. Sure its bad but not at the level of this game
>>693347927>masculine eyes and eyebrows>everything beneath the eyes is somewhere between feminine and masculine>beauty mark to represent femininity>jewelry in the chin to offer further ambiguityThey engineered the perfect visage for an individual who has no idea what they are. Men would be more likely to endure this visage than women, admittedly.
>>693347634It's important to note that EA heavily influenced the current reviews by ONLY giving early review copies to people were raving about their preview build like good little cocksuckers. Don't trust a word they say yet.
>>693346893>>693347116You just don't get it, the companions are EVERYTHING
>>693319862This is how they sound:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v565kCOY2Jw

>>693321874>1.5 million views in 2 days alreadyOoooooooooooofRIP bozo I guess
>>693319854Trannoid revisionism lmao
>>693346893That's literally transphobic. Please sir do the barve (10 pushups) to apologize
>>693348281Ah, so this is what an emotionally stunted manchild perceieves a complex character to be Mental illness and teenage angst
>>693347221it wasnt purely a cutscene but thankfully they let us sell her ass to magic tower dude immediately after>>693347867I played it a couple years ago, got a pretty positive opinion of it having played when it was new but it does feel a lot like "that part: the game: a lot of times, didnt recall a single thing from awakening though. For someone thats never played you could certainly do worse throwing 40hr into a older rpg
>>693346789People are saying because it's wokeshit, and that might be some of the reason. The major reason is because it's lazyshit. This game is extremely lazily made (maybe incompetence, hard to distinguish between the two). Animations, art, direction, gameplay mechanics. Majority of decisions don't carry over, and the ones that do only get a passing reference. They didn't even bother adding greatswords because it would require an extra animation.
>>693326456Guarantee they have a company policy that their customers can't understand that many options at once.>>693327347It makes sense if the character is retarded and you know they are already, it's just reinforcing that.>>693327852AI will fix it.>>693328938Probably was. Voice work was done online by whoever takes it as far back as 2009.
>>693335294Just cause DA is extremely pozzed doesn’t make BG3 any less pozzed than it is. Veilguard makes other games look right wing by comparison
>>693348281deep and compelling storylines>you can’t disagree with them ever>no inter-party conflicts beyond completely petty bullshit like fashion and fucking books>the actual quests feel AI generated and just repeat locations you have already gone to as even positive reviewers have concededWhat the fuck is this game

You know the dumb thing with the whole sex and sexuality in magical realms? Foregoing the whole dumb shit with "I HAVE SURGERY SCARS FROM MY TOP SURGERY WHEN YOU COULD PROBABLY PAY A WIZARD TWO CRYSTAL ORBS TO CHANGE YOU INTO A DUDE WITH THE WAVE OF HIS HAND". You could do all sorts of fucked up, dumb sexual shit in a magical setting. You a druid? Turn into a bear and fuck someone with weird long skinny bear dick. Curse your enemies with retrograde ejaculation. Belts of gender swap. Give your enemies infinite and constant ejaculation to stun and mollify them. Voodoo doll someone's anus into a gaping cavern. Shit if I made a CRPG there would be a pervert mage class who's only spells are doing weird lewd shit to people. Bandit boss giving you shit? Cast gender reverso on him and invoke lust in his friends. Watch his friends impregnate him while you wander off scot free. Barbarian queen about to come down on your party like a ton of bricks? Give her tits so huge she can barely swing her sword. Need to sneak into the huge penis club? You are covered. Instead these niggers go "we want gender politics in our game and instead of having any magic it's all going to be the most basic, modern day medicine shit we can think of because people die of the plague on a daily basis but doctors have perfected the art of sexual reassignment surgery!"
french RPG are more manly than american and japanese ones.
So are reviewers going to be criminally charged under the new law, or the company?
>>693346272Damn, I didn't know Wizardry was an adventure game
>>693348367>2x of the game's launch trailerOh no no no
>>6933321054chan user
>>693319862that brown character who talks first is clearly a man putting on a woman's voice. Wow that's insufferable to listen to.
>>693348474>french rpg
>>693348541still correct
>>693348497If you’re talking about the recent burger review law it’s unenforcable and was mainly targeted at heckin review bombingI dunno why people even mention it
>>693347634Sadly the wokeists injected massive trannyism into the brand that only was slightly pozzed before. This trojan horse will sell well off of the brand name because the majority of "consumers" are cattle and haven't seen all this shit. There's a reason EA is copyright striking any youtube videos showing this.
>>693348390Chudabela only did 5 pushups.
>>693320226Too bad for them, they can't.>Manspreads and grabs balls
>>693348539the VA is a chick
>>693348541Do people really consider ass creed as an rpg?
>>693327756>Words words wordsThis is not entertaining.
>>693348762It has dialog options that lead to different quest outcomes and game endings... yeah I guess.
>>693328787>new vegasso you're trans, got it
>>693325813You're correct. But uh, I don't know if you're noticed, but people aren't forced to buy either.
>>693333829The French moron that you guys hate for making movie-games managed to make your choices have consequences.
Surely THIS turbowoke game won't be the seventh flop in a row
>>693348749i don't think so, and my tranny voice radar is impeccable. I used to play VRchat.
>>693319317This is the product of the current white people.
>>693348874look it up, I don't care
Reminder that tranny logic is entirely predicated on genders being inequal and incapable of doing the same things, even things they are completely capable of physically doing.
>>693348869based on their highly curated reddit, I'm gonna guess that people that dont care about the culture war, and really liked inquisition are all going to buy this. I don't think its going to flop, but there will be a lot of justifiably angry people about the game not flopping.
>>693348769>child speaksYou should be off reading picture books.
>>693348893Communists are not people.
>>693348893It's the result of COVID causing a huge influx of capital into every tech-related. Companies could afford to take a risk on shit, especially when all of the diversity hires within the org vouched for the guaranteed success of a product pandering to the ultra-woke crowd. What we're seeing here is the last gasp. The damage done by Concord will be insurmountable for the industry; you're about to see every company become incredibly risk-averse after this year. Bioware is only putting this shit out because they'd lose more money if they sat on it.
>>693348869>seventhIt's higher than that. They were flopping all year last year too.
>>693348959Literally every other game released in the past two years that tried this same pandering shit for an audience that doesn't even play game had record low sales and/or closed company within a few monthsIt's going to flop. It doesn't matter if it gets 10k people buying it purely off the dev name or to own [enemy of their agenda], it's still gonna be a flop
>>693348912i just did, , its terrible, the voice actor is married to a woman, sounds like a man and an influencer for LGBTQ rights.God that voice sounds bad.
>>693349032their lesson wil be>we'll have to try harder!
>>693319862>game gives PC a dialogue option>character immediately shuts him down and continues the conversation as if he's not thereCool role playing gamedesu I like the main character's voice actor
>>693349083Unfortunately this will get good sales just because it's Dragon Age and the past releases weren't 100% turbopoz (just medium poz). If ever potential customer saw these "misgender apology" cutscenes before release, then it would be Concord 2.0, but they won't.
>>693349032>covid put magic funny money into the hands of [industry] and that's why we have more slopBy that logic, the money would have also ended up in the hands of companies that actually have the capability to produce yet all we've gotten is dogshit for years in an infinite stream of flopsWe've gotten Wukong I guess, but also that's Chinese so they probably didn't even get any hypothetical magic funny money

>>693325474I mean, Alpha Protocol did it well. But that's becasue it was more of a concept that a line. None of this "shove djkstra aside. Forcefully"
I don't know why everyone is blackpilling about the game when more people have seen a video of someone shitting on the game than the actual game launch trailer >>693321874>>693348520
>>693319862it sounds like Rook's VA is the only one trying
>>693348539>>693348749https://files.catbox.moe/zd9xsy.mp4
>>693345946JRPGs work without player choice because what happens is the moral choice (Dragon Quest 11 excluded); kill the ancient evil that awoke.WRPGs force moral choices so if you don't give the player an option the player isn't going to keep playing.
>>693349253None of the recent DAs have gotten good sales and there's been a clear pushback against these kinds of games in the past few years no matter how many they care to release. There is absolutely nothing to imply it'll get good sales.
>>693348539It could also be a woman who took testosterone to permanently ruin their voice. What a world.
>>693319862what the fuck is going on haahahahahha this is worse than ai
>>693349405Most consumers don't look up a single video or piece of info. They just buy the next in the series because the previous was okay.
>>693349575>Most consumers don't look up a single video or piece of info.With the economy the way it is, people are looking before buying more and more these days.
I can’t even believe there’s another DA game after Inquisition was a commercial failure and even back then they tried to gaslight people into thinking it was a colossal successThat whole “franchise” is kind of a joke
>>693319317RPGs are all about numbersnot that this shit is actually an RPG
If I could click a button to take my own life in exchange for the immediate assassination of whoever has the biggest influence in these kinds of projects, I'd have pressed that faster than I can nut and I current hold the world record for being a quickshotLet me become a martyr right now
>>693319317>you're in control here
>soijakThere goes the thread
>>693349428Rook's male british VA would be perfect in a children's show like Bluey or Postman Pat. He has a very caring sounding voice and I hate that such a voice is wasted on this shithole game.
>>693348869i doubt it'll flop since people will buy it based on the name alone
>>693319317im glad this got made, its just too funny
>>693349338Shadow Heart games have so much love put into them. It is a shame the studio got fucked over along with SNK.
>>693321209>1. Buy>2. Don't buy >3. Pirate (don't buy)>4. Refund (don't buy)Nice varied choices you got there
>>693319317Americans are a sick, diseased people.
>>693350113Flopping is relative to how much money the company can throw around. This game will not make enough money to have justified the game, and every game they've released recently has done the same thing. It is going to flop no matter how many people buy it based on the name because their name is no longer worth as much as the money they put into their games.
>>693335294>since veilguard is bad, that means bg3 is goodThey're not mutually exclusive, both of them can be bad, which they are.
>>693319317>jrpg writing: kill gods>wrpg writing: trans matterI never regret bought eldank rink, but this, i wont even pirate it
>>693319862Holy fuck its way worse than I could've ever imagined.
>>693319854DA2 was the reason I stopped playing western AAA games. I haven't played another since except for Outer Worlds which was shit.
>>693349575Most consumers are faggots and do exactly what their e-celeb "friends" tell them to do. They have no independent thought or free will.
>>693349668um economy is doing better than ever chud Dark Brendon has beaten inflation and we have more people employed than ever before
>>693345453>the facial animations are so stiff
>>693350392If you don't buy Veilguard then you ain't gamin'!
>>693319317The Dialogue wheel is the most non-solution to non-existent problem.
>>693319391xD!!!
>>693350582voice acting ruined everything
why didn’t they just do the bg3 approach of having a silent protagonist if they weren’t gonna bother doing proper facial animations for the player character (or anyone for that matter) talking
>>693350160Bioware is Canadian, retard.
>>693320474trannies obviously
>>693319317how's gameplay?
>>69331955880~ is a pretty mediocre score.
>>693350924Same thing.
I say we all push for turning LGBT back into LGBQ and pretend we give a fuck about diversity so those two groups fight amongst themselves for long enough that the gaming industry heals itself in the background
>>693346650So The Veilguard abandoned its roots in favor of becoming an Action RPG, how does it fare compared with other games in said genre?
>>693319317Someone made a video of all the Cringe interactions with the "Trash" character, but EA took it down via Copyright strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYzTNy1y7KUDefinitely don't look at or share any of these ahead of their Big Game Launch tomorrow, EA wouldn't want that.Full 30 minutes (low-res): https://files.catbox.moe/3im089.mp4"Nobody likes being a woman" (Ultra Cringe): https://streamable.com/amyr4e"I can't even be a woman right" Parts 1-3: https://streamable.com/gx8dqk https://streamable.com/t9bnv7 https://streamable.com/25xxxz"Kay Bye" Parts 1-2: https://streamable.com/851l5g https://streamable.com/0bxhw8"Ready to talk to my mother about who I really am" Parts 1-2: https://streamable.com/baey9r https://streamable.com/and3nd"So I'm non-binary" (Top Cringe) Parts 1-2: https://streamable.com/3vux4h https://streamable.com/7xzuvf"The Dragon King" Parts 1-2: https://streamable.com/3s2wso https://streamable.com/4enth1"Pulling a Bharv" (Giga Cringe) Parts 1-3: https://streamable.com/m3b7rv https://streamable.com/4elqwu https://streamable.com/osj0aw"You Smell Good": https://streamable.com/jf8cs5
>>693351052You're looking at it.
>>693351504I still don't know what the Q stands for.
>>693319862WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY ALL STANDING LIKE THIS LMAOI haven't laughed out out at a game in a long time
>>693352414Quietif you're shy you're a faggot
>>693319862The only good thing to come out of this game might be r34 of the asian elf qt
>>693319854>loving Dragon Age 2nice bait
>>693345889he's doing that to not get dogpiled by the alphabet mafia
>>693319854I absolutely hated DA2 when it came out and thought it was an absolute embarassment of a game, but to say Veilguard is literally DA 2 is an insult to DA 2, the game was bad for 2010 standards and it's still a bad game compared to any halfway decent RPG, but it is a masterpiece of story telling and dialog writing compared to Veilguard.
>>693319317Yeah, in build. Story shit, no.
>>693320474money laundering folk
>>693338658>>693347989but was the shortened version ever used in old times? The full word would have sounded more appropriate imo

>>693354282She isn't even doing anything incendiary in that conversation>mom i'm <term mom has never heard of>>"huh what does that mean is it like <word I know>?">NO YOU DON'T FUCKING GET IT. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>693352628What's the problem?
>>693332105why not?
>>693319862What do you even do in this game? Fight world-ending threats or manage an insane asylum?
>>693354749You're a therapist for a group of adults with severely arrested development and you're in deep shit with your employer if you disagree with a patient
>>693319317>they were too lazy to even make a comically evil caricature choiceswestern tranny devs are a joke
>>693351052like anthem but even worse somehow
>>693353915...there is a child sex related tax?
>>693350696Thankfully, AI generated voices has the power to fix this.
>>693319862>5 seconds in and the troon already mage shaming peoplethis is why nobody like troons
>>693319656>[Medicine] Taash, your neo-vagina is… OHNONONONONONONONONONO
>>693355507No amount of AI SLOP can turn this piece of dogshit into a good game.
>>693347927she looks like robert picardo
>>693319317where's the nigger option?
>>693355848In your mind.
>>693355765Come the fuck on, it should be obvious I didn't mean THIS game. It doesn't even use AI voice, as far as I know.
>>693321136We went too hard on Inquisition
i kinda want to get it just to see how bad the "bad" options are, like inquisition was a wet noodle and it seems like the games only gotten softer
>>693355902*SHOUTS NIGGER REALLY HARD IN MY MIND*
>>693356216By all accounts it's just different shades of agreeing with people, with some being more "stern" but still supportive. Sometimes the option will say something mean, but after you actually select it the guy says something way softer in reality, it's completely misleading. There are no "hard" options in this game.
>>693356216Just pirate it
>>693347545> 4 niggers in a rower thinking either flavour of trash is inherently better than the otherIt's trash, but back in the day it was good trash. Now they're cooming for your 4niar games too, no more brother wars.
>>693356803He didn't even pick a side, he was pointing out the pointless attack on JRPGs because someone dared to talk bad about a WRPG
>>693356868Nothing was said about Jarpigs, it was said of, and I quote, Jarpig retards. The games themselves weren't attacked. Akshually.
