I’m just happy this is getting tons of backlash everywhere. But the alphabet doesn’t care. They want attention however they can get it.
What society needs to do next time is not even make a single video about it. Not even watch a single clip - don’t even have a fucking thread about it. Zero sales, zero bad publicity which gives these retards a sense of worth, anything.
Just one resounding thud of silence and a loss of 300 million dollars. Rinse and repeat.

Even publisher friendly streamers are pretty lukewarm on the game. Even Cohh gave it a review that blasted them for treating the players like idiots, primarily around dialogue.
I was watching Asmon play and that seems accurate. It lowers itself into Dora the Explorer territory as if it is talking to toddlers lol

Not valid. Have to look at 1st day peak, not overall peak. That one DA game's sales kept increasing over time. This one won't, because word of mouth is slaughtering this game.
LOL. It's even getting raped in Reddit, which is trannyhomo central.
Here's to hoping some of the devs of this game become members of the 41 club after this weekend.

The game is tuned way too easy. I'd recommend doing at least +1 difficulty level higher than you normally would for a title.
I started a mage, but seeing as how there are a LOT of mages at the start of the game I feel like I should have rolled a warrior.
The opening sequence is pretty slick and very pretty if you have a rig capable of doing everything on ultra. Seeing the Tevinter Imperium as an almost cyberpunk setting with all the neon magic and floating citadels etc is quite striking...but then you leave all that behind. After 15 years of wanting to see what Tevinter looked like I feel like I just got a taste and then shunted off to Elf Ghetto.

maybe there is some hope. I tried to go look for console numbers of recent games, rpgs. but couldn't find any solid info to compare.
only that the overall console/pc market is now about even. 47/51 or so. which even then, consoles are then split being console, and pc isn't. so it might be true pc sales might top console sales these days even for casual gaming, for any individual game.
heres some steamDB pulls:
elden ring peaked at 952k at release.
andromeda 3590? (game came out in 2017, released on steam in 2020.)
mass effect 3 659? (these can't be right_ predate steam charts I think.)
starfield 330k. peak.
the outerworlds 20k. owner estimation 700k-1.4m
Rogue trader 45k peak owner est. 470k-650k
wrath of the righteous. 47k peak. owner est. 1m-1.7m
hogwarts 879k peak. 4.5-8.5m est.
edit:those ownership estimates are via steamdb. not press releases.
we should probably wait for the full weekend to great real peak users est for dragonage. I would bet it hits 90-100k over the weekend.

Well, just popped in to CohhCarnages channel to look at it. He as a thoughts video up where he mirrors a lot of the criticisms of the SkillUp video, especially the writing. SkillUp just came into his youtube chat, and Cohh responded to him in the lines of "I never watch videos before I play a game, because they can influence my thoughts too much, but after I made the thoughts video, many people believed I had watched your video. They showed me a few clips of it and while I am not at the point of not recommending the game, I can certainly say that yeah, we mirror a lot of our opinions on the game"
Cohh is now at around the 20ish hour mark. 20 hours in from what I recall from SkillUp was when he said the combat fell apart too, not just the writing. Where it became obvious that you had experienced everything, all fights were the same (except the last 2 hours which everyone says are good).
In other words. It took 10 hours for the "nice guy" on Twitch, known for being so positive that he is often tought of a shill, to start shitting on the writing. It took another 10 to feel he had similar thoughts as the most negative review I've seen of a AAA title in recent years. And this is also while completely circeling around the "theme" that is so heavily infused in this game.
I do not think this game will have long lasting sales similarly to DA:I, which grew a lot over time. I also don't think that there will be a lot of refunds for the game, because it takes too long for the bad to set in so to speak. However, what will be interesting to see is the achivement rating, how long people play. Which will be easy to see considering there is an achivement per chapter. 77% have completed part 1, 46% so far part 3, 24% part 4 and down to 2% for part 8 (though that is understandable as it's not been out long). But in 4 months, how many will have part 14 unlocked?
My guess, this will hit gamepass sooner than later. Sales will also happen early, perhaps even as early as the chirstmas steam sale. AAA titles that sell usually don't go on sale more than 10-20% in the first 6+ months.
Second guess, it will be a financial failure, but there will be a media blitz calling the audience the problem, not the game. "Look at the reviews, the game is great, but the gamer audience is horrible, but we will not be deterred from writing stories that matter!"

Forsaken, This “game”, Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad, and more - every single one of them bomb and do not sell on sale. All of them touched by sweet baby Inc who also just got an influx of cash from a private investor. True evil is at play. And evil is playing the long game to psychological terror/indoctrination.
Stay steady my friends. Play and buy games that matter or go through back logs and try your best to not jump at the new shiny chasing the high of yesterday.
