If you strip away all the gay, tranny shit, the bad dialogue, the tropey story, just looking at this game being played, its one dimensional as fuck. On rails action game with shit combat, lacking loot, its just not a good game.

Same cannot be said for games like BG3 and 2077.

Yeah this is a C+ GOW knockoff at best. Probably a decent gap-filler game for people who just want something in the genre to fuck around with but its linear as fuck. I will just watch streams and skip it.

That said, it's the top selling game on Steam so if you think EA/Bioware is going to learn any harsh lessons from this you're wrong. By the time people realize how lame and linear it is, it'll be past the return window. There's also not a lot of games out right now so people will probably end up finishing it anyway once they can't return it.

70k live on steam isn't much to write home about. I imagine at least half of those are putting in for refunds.

Wukong did like 2.2 million day one.

EA own their own platform, no idea how good it is since the only EA game I got in the last 12 years was Titan Fall 2 (on PS4?!?) and it was amazing. Liked the first DA but I tried the second one and I didn't liked it for a reason I don't remember. Wukon had China numbers and I guess that it was pretty high. Also they don't have many current gen console there. PC/Steam was their only option.

Well the wiki doesn't have any mention of sales. Just bragging over the canned paid reviews.

It certainly isn't going to be a blockbuster and hopefully this gay pandering crap falls flat on its face.

Top selling doesn't mean anything when there aren't any other new games to buy on Steam. There are more people playing a shitty 6 y/o indie game than are playing this.

It will bomb miserably because it is yet another example of a company that doesn't understand who makes up their core customer base, which are straight white males who don't want to have anything to do with trannies or homos. It was evident a long time ago that this would be full of tranny faggotry and thus plainly easy to predict failure.

So it peaked at 70,000 on launch day. Will be interesting to see if they can beat that. I think Springbok Springbok 's asshole might be safe.

Dragon Age will be a top selling game on name alone, that's not really surprising. I'd like to see that number be maintained along with concurrent users.

Yeah, we'll see what kind of numbers they do through this weekend. Wonder if people going in blind will just be like 'fuck this'. Not even due to the woke shit, but all the other problems that SkillUp mentioned in his review. Just doesn't sound fun.

I dont think thats the case anymore. Outside of sports games, every game is primary PC and lower console numbers. Consoles are dying sadly.

It doesnt matter, 2 good games and 1 OK game were enough to get the normies to ruin Springboks asshole.

I'm a straight white male, and trannies or homos in games don't generally bother me, as long as anything beyond surface level shit is bypassable. If someone wants to play BG3 and dick-smash their way up the Sword Coast, fine. It's a roleplaying game. If that's what you choose to do while I try and work out a handy from Shadowheart, I couldn't care less.

But if I'm going about my business in a medieval fantasy setting and suddenly crash headlong into a fully immersion-shattering 2024 treatise on misgendering, go ahead and fuck right off. Fortunately, as someone else said, the game kinda looks like ass anyway. Easy skip.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Clumsy, Preachy Political Messaging Does More Harm Than Good

Dragon Age: The Veilguard foolishly inserts modern politics into a game that could have addressed these issues within the framework of the game's lore.

It’s a classic case of bad writing. Like the article states, there are many different ways you can include those types of elements. The creators chose the hamfisted, no nuance approach that ignored the setting and existing lore

CW Supergirl is always an example of this in action - the later seasons tried to cram out of place PSAs into every episode

The majority of people who hate "woke" shit in games don't usually get pissed for simply having faggotry in a game. I loved Baldur's Gate 3 and it had plenty. The problem is when it's prolific to the point of absurdity or badly written, badly implemented and (in the case of this turd we're talking about) completely obnoxious and preachy.

I remember that Baldurs Gate remaster where they added a trans NPC who lectures you on how hard it is to live in the wrong body in a setting that literally has a gender swap belt available within five map screens
