Anthem and Andromeda sold ~5 milion according to Google

EA's own investor forecast for Anthem lifetime sales was 6m, so while it underperformed, that's not really a flop when you consider it made more in microtransactions than sales.

Andromeda just about broke even with a budget of $100m and $110 in revenue in it's first quarter, so also not a flop.

Does it include marketing? A few years ago the rule of thumb that the marketing cost would need to be at least equal to the production budget. It always blew my mind.

I can post the book on how the "relevance" category works - or I can just say its being actively compared to everything that released in a similar time frame. Whether thats AAA, double A or single A / Indie.

Besides, we all knew that the common gamer dad that goes to work from 7 to 7, and has 30 minutes to play a game as he drinks a beer - watching zero review content, and just recognizes the name - would buy this game.

I installed DAO last night. I think I'm gonna play through that for like the 544th time, just so I don't have to look at this crap. And save Loghain.

So anyone willing to admit they are playing this?



If they copied BG3's Dark Urge path, but instead you roleplay as the ultimate shitlord in a land full of dweebs, Johnny Lawrence style, this game might be worth playing.

I couldn't believe it when I clicked on this game and saw LGTBQ+ as a game category, listed before RPG even. I just saw some video on twitter where a female character does 10 pushups to apologize for misgendering someone and proceeds to give a DEI lecture to the other ridiculous looking characters.

I'm tempted to buy the game leave a negative review and refund it but I'm always afraid of getting stuck with the charge somehow.

I play video games as a distraction from this kind of garbage. They're just making more enemies by ruining the things that I enjoy.

Not playing it, but from what I've heard about the game:

1. You have no choice about recruiting the degenerate companions. I'm not even sure there are any non-degenerates in the bunch to begin with.
2. You often are forced to bring certain characters along even if you hate them and you can't really avoid any of the "meeting with HR" struggle sessions.
3. Can't kill off any of them, or anything like that.
4. You can't actually criticize or push back against the woke faggotry that they constantly spout, so it's impossible to offend anyone to the point where they leave.

I thought about getting it from Gamefly just to have a laugh at how fucking terrible it is, but subjecting myself to cult indoctrination that the game forces me to agree with doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.

I was holding out hope that there was at least one or two shitlord devs left at bioware that would give you an out - the troons have the option to troon and follow the HR by numbers dialogue, but the normies could tell them to stfu and either kill them or leave them at home. I guess all the real shitlords left the company long ago. Sad

The next Dragon age will make it so each time you miss gender someone the darkspawn grow more powerful and too many miss genders is an automatic game over. At this point they can even take hit points out of the loss equation completely!

I was considering getting this until recently, but even as a liberal I have my limit, and this game crosses it by miles.

You know, I just noticed something with that Asmon cut. I had to watch the original just to make sure it wasnt cut. It was cut, but.. it was still roughly the same. In Asmon's cut, she does 2 pushups. In the original, she does 5. She then defines the act of apologizing by doing 10 pushups. ... I mean it was probably just a lazy implementation, but the chance... The chance that the animation department implemented it to 5, which seems a pretty purposeful number - comes off to me as a big fuck you to that bullshit and.. that kind of makes me happy.

You're looking too much into it

The sermon was shit and these fucking troons can't count to 10.

The end.
