Now, at long last, can we all finally agree that Dragon Age: The Veilguard was actually a terrific game?https://www.polygon.com/dragon-age-the-veilguard-bioware-rpg-retrospective/?taid=6ada53d6e84f6e000170382c&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
>>750262794Its hard to believe these people are real
>>750262794So then why did it sold poorly?Because it was woke?
>>750262794it was a true return to from and a blast to play
It was technically solid but dear God, the fucking writingthe aestheticsjesus christ
>>750262794ari notis isn't real name
>Ari
>>750262794lol, lmao even
>>750262794Too early.Wait two or three more years and /v/ will be the one saying it.
>>750263246Aesthethics were mostly fine as long as you weren't the biggest Dragonage Origins fan. Writing was hit and miss.
Can we agree Highguard was revolutionary?
>>750262794>?taid=6ada53d6e84f6e000170382c&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
>>750262794I can't even pretend. What do you mean agree?
>>750263408>Now Dragon Age 2, that was a good game!>Button = Awesome, lmao!
>>750263408I'm saying it already
>Look, if you enjoyed the game, that's great for you. But there isn't going to be the hindsight reverence for this game. While the who "non-binary" thing was what most videos and criticisms from certain sects of the internet focused on, the main criticism most had with the game was the terrible writing. The heavy use of optimistic/therapy type language, the most unlikeable/annoying characters and the major tonal shift from the first two games. Its development hell patchwork design didn't do it any favours.>I can only speak for myself, but I love me dark fantasy role playing games. I've been known to play a few that were arguably terrible because either the story was gripping or some game mechanic was really solid, and I'm not sure I made it through a third or even a quarter of the game.>Again, by all means, love the game. Its clear you have a reverence for it and there's nothing wrong with that, but I'd stake everything on this game never gaining any more positive reception than the carefully curated preview buzz before release.Top comment. Even cucks can't stand it.
>>750263246>Technically solidThe fuck you smoking? It was a buggy mess
>>750263487That you agree with the FACT it was a good game.
>>750263423>Aesthethics were mostly fine>Writing was hit and miss.LMAO, you wish. It's literally the most putrid vile gay shit on earth.
>>750263598>my WOKE FRIEND agrees with me!lmao
>>750263640I dont even know who this bitch nigga is but he zesty AF
>>750262794>AriSix million wasn't enough
>>750263601proof?
>>750263601No it wasn't. The preformance was good.
>>750263640>"It's literally the most putrid vile gay shit on earth.">keep spamming the same character in the same scene as "evidence"I know you have a Taash Derangement Syndrome, but cmon.
>>750262794No.Btw Cisquisition has a scene exactly like this and to this day i don't understand why people pretend these 2 games aren't the same.
>>750263919Ok bro, here is a more comprehensive example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ABa3eBITM
>>750262794>let's talk about i game i definitely didn't play, say it was awesome and that Bioware was only closed because of the NAZIS
>>750264009You haven't watched that, schizo. And you aren't capable of proving me wrong. So take your meds and do something constructive, hmm?
>>750263934Nobody played the busywork simulator that is Inquisition that far and to be fair, they at least had an inworld explanation for the tranny.The game releasing in 2014 was the last bit of luck Bioware had left. If EA had released it a year later it would have been murdered by Witcher 3.
>>750264172Of course I have not watched it. I don't need to watch it to know it's true. I have seen enough already.
>>750264113But I did play it
>>750263919>ugh anon, you're not allergic to eating shit, right??>come on, it's just one whole turdthat's how you sound like
>>750264276>UUH I JUST KNOW IT TO BE TRUEREALLY not dismissing the schizo allegations here, schizo. It's altight. Let it go. Play a game you enjoy. Take a nap. Read a book. Go outside and smell the roses.
>>750264296>3 achievement lessI mean the game sucks but... may as well
>>750264296>90.5GB>Mass Effect: 12GB>DAO: 20GBI hate modern gaming.
>arithey just can't help themselves
>>750263919No, the game is definitely ugly. It has a strange cartoony art style with extra large heads. The environments look fine, but Dragon Age is supposed to be gritty and thus have a realistic art style. The fact that it went for a cartoony style really just hammers home how they do not care about Dragon Age at all.
>>750263934Disregarding the awful scene itself, is there a valid lore reason why ham is served in a solid chunk instead of sliced?
>>750263606I thought even game journos rated it poorly?
>>750263349The fact this is that gar down in the thread is proof that only bots use this site
>>750264327Yes, because you're a mentally ill schizo whose mind goes to scatology for literally no reason. Normal people don't think about eating shit, you know.
>>750263423>Aesthethics were mostly fineI liked how disgusting the blight looked like and some of the architecture was nice but the characters, armor, and the god damn color grading pissed me off
>>750263246yes, the gameplay was fineits the woke aesthetics and story that killedcompare with bg3 where there is degenerate woke shit in it, and even beyond that, but it's on the side and everyone picks the straight white male as character and stick to the sane and non mentally ill playthrough
>>750262794its a great game only because it killed bioware. Not even mass effect and anthem could do it
>>750264401It's rum ham. The rum is in the ham!
>>750264396>Dragon Age is supposed to be gritty and thus have a realistic art styleNeither of these aren't true.
>>750263919and you're a negro faggot
>>750264465This. Veilguard was actually based for killing Bioware. That is it's true legacy.
>>750264473you're a stupid faggot
>>750262794It truly was a return to form...
>>750264401Taash is an inexperienced cook when it comes to fine dining.
>>750264432>
>>750264453BG3 at least tries to balance out the woke shit somewhatI think that's the secret to maneuvering this hellhole
>>750264473...What? Origins starts (after your 'origin' story) with the ritual to become a Grey Warden. It involves drinking blood. The first guy dies horribly, and the second guy tries to then abandon the ritual and his stabbed to death by your mentor. Then you take it, get sick, but survive. The characters are as realistic as they could be for 2008 or 2009 (whenever the game came out). You're out of your goddamn mind.
>>75026440382 on Metacritic, so not really.
>>750264473bro your NEW SHIT?
>>750264557like 95% of bg3 is normal stuff, just story and lorethat's the meat of the gamethe game is popular because it's a player choice game
>>750262794Based on the comments it's a bit funny the userbase of Polygon are so anti-woke considering the website's progressive roots and heavy handed leftie propaganda they push out on a daily basis. Like what are these retards doing?
>>750264537I accept your concession, Paco
>>750264432What do you think is the overlap between veilguard enjoyers and eg The «I’ll eat your shit» Boys enjoyers? I’m thinkin’, they’re literally the same people.
>>750262794polygon is and has always been a joke and nobody takes them seriously
>>750264649youre wrong and your tastes are shit, brown faggot
>>750264249>they at least had an inworld explanation for the trannyBy completely retconning Qun?
>>750264618Resetera had an identity crisis over the game. They basically all admitted it was shit but they wanted to kind of support it due to the very open progressive nature of the game and it being firmly part of the "culture war" but they knew it sucked.
>>750264670Seems like it's the Veilguard haters who are literal turdeaters.
>>750264573That cutscene is hillarious in hindsight since the player character is declared an inducted grey warden before even taking a sip."I know you have plot armor so let's just get on with the scene."
>>750264573>i'm sorry but you said 'yes' to this process a while ago and saying 'no' is now punishable by death>even though you haven't seen anything particularly shocking or damning within the settingit was just edge
>>750264704Was this the game where Jewson Schreir admitted he didn't like it but supported it just to own the chuds? Or was it a different wokeflop?
>>750264721QED>>750264687Eating shit is all they can think of.
>>750262794>Ari
>>750264782where did i mention eating shit in my post? way to oust yourself as a scatophile, vile faggotsaying your tastes are shit doesnt mean im saying you eat shit you stupid faggot, you have bad tastes
>>750264557To see the woke shit you have to pick the woke choices yourself. The woke shit in veilguard is baked into the main game and is the main focus of the story. All of the sidequests for characters are also wokeExample of woke shit in BG3:>Wyll is a black guy son to a black noble. Gets "colonized" and enslaved by a literal white devil>You can decapitate Wyll the moment you find out he is a demon>You can never talk to Wyll and skip his entire bullshit arc. Some players dont even know he is party memberExample of woke shit in veilguard:>Get forced a tranny party member. The ENTIRE game xe talks about being a tranny>So i'm non-binary>You dont get a choice, you have to roll with this and xe is part of your party. You are not allowed to get the end of the game until you interact with xim
>>750264721They’re turd eaters for NOT eating the turd? Did your bot break or something?
>>750264573I mean, Origins' artstyle isn't pastel troonshit, but I don't know I'd call it realistic. It's more like the exaggerated grittiness you'd get from Sword & Sorcery art or Heavy Metal album covers. Or stuff like 40k. Grim and dark, but not realistic.
>>750264767Yes. It was edgy. it was gritty. It was as realistic as they could make it. That is why people liked Origins. Remember how some of the blight demons were the result of rape? It wasn't some hentai shit, it was treated as being dark, disgusting, and evil. The very land and people got corrupted by it and only these crazy ass Grey Wardens who drank their blood and devoted their entire existence to defeating them were capable of saving people.Meanwhile, Veilguard is>Omg I'm mad at you!>No I am mad at you!>'Guys why are you mad?'>He wants to bring too many books on the picnic!>Yeah but I like my books!>'Okay guys... lets talk it out here... Listen, you can take a couple of books but not too many'>Okay>Wow I'm sorry>I'm sorry to>We're all friends now :)
>>750264779Yes it was this game and he deleted the tweet soon after.
>>750264858i think i figured out why the leftoid faggots keep trying to claim the good RPG games as "woke", they assume that anybody who opposes their insane ideologies are simply nazis who inherently hate negros, women, and people of other races in generalso they think they "own the chuds" by mentioning games like witcher 3 or bg3 that have the woke shit behind very obvious dialogue choices that you have to intentionally pick to activate the woke contentand most people dont mind PLAYER CHOICE, yet that information doesnt click in the heads of the insane militants, they genuinely think we're nazis for criticizing their retarded gay and feminist bullshit
>>750264767...it's because the secret to the creation of Grey Wardens can't get out, and he had already seen they're created by drinking darkspawn blood
>>750263246I played an Xbox game that had better realistic animations than this trash. >>750263423As long as you aren't a fan of the series it is a pass. Lol I bet you sit on the cuck chair on request
>>750264858Yea, this is the difference. Its like how you could be an asshole in Mass Effect. You could tell the devs wanted it a certain way, but you didnt have to do that. And a lot of people still took "bad guy" options like punching the reporter bitch. You had freedom.
>>750263934>looks like a man, like, no question>apparently "female">says it's neither what in the kentucky fried FUCK did they mean by this?
>>750265052>I played an Xbox game that had better realistic animations than this trash.I dont doubt it but we're talking about Bioware here
>>750265064>you could be an asshole in Mass Effectexactlyguess what Andromeda was missing (among other things)
>>750262794More proof every day that gamergate was right
>>750262794These are the professional game journalists who's opinions you should rely on
>>750262794this guy's taste is insane
>>750263408Nah, /v/ will always mock this game.Dustborne, however, will be reconsidered in a few years.
So, a message to future RPG teams.>separate the male writers and female writers>let the players choose between their quest lines
>>750262794I'm genuinely in awe of how mentally ill these people are. Hard to believe they're even human. Demon possession maybe? Something is certainly gravely wrong.
>>750263349It is a common Finnish male name tho.
>>750265351There are no renegade options in andromeda?!
>>750265409>close enough to classic fantasy tropes>it's just critical roll the quirk chungus gameAbsolutely disgusting.
>>750265571It's called satanic inversion. Good luck in your future efforts.
>>750265530Or maybe just don't hire exclusively left wing extremists
>>750262794>Expertise>Immortals of Aveum, Forspoken, Exodus>Check last one>It's 5 indie slop gams and one that didn't even came out yet
>>750265571You just need to understand that they don't care about your hobby and will lie through their teeth to infiltrate it, control it, and twist it towards their agenda.
>>750265592There are no choices PERIOD in Andromeda. You can only choose between "logical", "social", "sarcastic" and "emotional", all of which are just ways of phrasing the same thing.In fact, you don't get to make a single decision in the entire game, since every "choice" just decides the next line of dialogue and has zero impact on the world or future events. You can't even choose to let the bad guy die or not.You can't be mean or rude to ANYONE at any point in the game.
>>750262794No.
>>750266138Holy fuck, I didnt know it was THAT bad
here's your squad, senpai
>>750266405and here are the backup
>>750266405All of them looks like the most insufferable person ever with multiple STDs.
>>750266405
Can we finally agree that e33 was a good game? We don't have to talk about it cause everyone just agrees and you don't have to try and manufacture a consensus? Oh.
>>750266905woke faggots tried to claim this game as their own
>>750266405I liked Sera in DA:I however all the companions suck in Failguard.
>>750264681When the fuck are we getting readers context?
>>750263167A love letter to the fans.
>>750264401That's how it came from the (Unreal Asset) store
Lol, lmao even. it didn't even make the amount of money it took to be developed. Who defends this (((terrific))) garbage?
>>750264401It weirder that they each have their own 10lb ham. Slicing it as its consumed helps keep it from drying out as they choke down 10lbs of ham in one sitting.
>>750263934>They/them freak lashes out even when a loved one is trying to understand and contextualize what they've been toldPretty accurate, desu
>>750262794KEK. No. This game has been measured, it has been weighted and it´s been found wanting. It´s never going to be more than the game that killed it´s studio because of how shit it was. >Doesn´t account for most of past game choices >The mind rot of devs that can´t deal with biological reality translates to the character creator and character designs so even if everything else is "Stylized" the player just can´t push on biological antaomical differences between males and females >Plays like a repurposed MMORPG >Can´t even really customize your companions >The companions suck BTW>Complete lack of actual choice. In fact not even the illusion of choice as one can´t even engage on controversy or even be mean (let alone cruel) because the devs were cowards looking for validation that couldn´t deal with their political views being rejectedI mean, as a game it is the complete opposite of Origins. It had been drifting away for years but this was just a new low so no, it wasn´t a good DA and it wasn´t a good game and nobody should pretend it was just to cuddle a bunch of horrible devs. This is what the brought upon themselves and i hope they enjoy it.
>>750266405Its kind of impressive that they managed to pull of a 100% unlikeable cast of characters
>>750266771more like one old depressed white man that's eager to be replaced by a brown and for everyone to abuse, the rest are brown
>>750266405This scene is the worst shit in fantasy history. Them sitting on a fucking couch with a cup of coffee is so anti-medieval fantasy, not even critical role would do this shit.
>>750262794Never played it and never will.
>>750262794No, it remains a blight on the industry and shouldn't have ever gotten to the conception phase.Anyone who worked on this shit should've been blacklisted from the industry and the writers flayed alive.
>>750264172The thumbnail alone proves he's right. You're just a bit too homo to see it.
>>750262794which outlet is this? and did they give it a good score when they first reviewed the game? if yes, i guess they needed to up the rate at which they could launder money, so had to pump out a bullshit article
>>750269646Polygon. One of the four horsemen of the video game journalist apocalypse.Polygon, TheGamer, Kotaku, and PC Games.
>>750266405selfinserts: the game
>>750263934You mean the scene of the guy coming out as gay in front of his father? Probably because of the execution. Non-binary is a modern term, which rios people out of the immersion. The other scene sticks to traditional means 'I prefer the company of men', but the real issue of thar confrontation was being the 'perfect/ideal son'. Being gay was just one of those factors going against it. I think the father also tried using dark magic to forcefully change his son's preferences, which the inquisition probably doesn't like. You also get a say as to whether the family relationship dies or has some kind of small rekindling.The Tarsh scene is all about her coming out as non binary and there's no other part involved in it. You're expected to just take and accept it with no means of other interactions.
>>750270142I think he's talking about Iron Bull and his band of non-conforming daredevilswith gaming's first transgender characterwhich at that point was still just a minor side characterFUCK how did things get this bad?
>>750270142This.Xher mom also said that their culture had a word for it, but xhe couldn't accept the fact that she was not THE special snowflake and so the chimp out.
>>750264453>gameplay was fine>compare with bg3In BG3 you can control your party members.
>ari notice>linking polygonfake name, fake story, not falling for it
