Sure they are. I was a Dragon Age fan and everyone involved in Failguard especially the writers can go fuck themselves I'm glad they all got fired.

writers basically came out and said they were forced to release a shit game and they knew it wasn't ready or even remotely good and that EA and the shitty bioware management were panicking trying to put RPG elements and serviceable writing into the game at the last minute

game had been a live service lite-MMO and they pulled the plug but forced them to keep using what they had
the cartoony ugly graphics were a result of the live service direction and they knew their regular fans would hate it in a regular RPG but had to use it
that's why fans are """"apologizing"""" to the writers now, since the writers were held at gunpoint to release trash and then EA used it as manufactured consent to then fire and trash the entire dragon age team and IP

i see this as just a really shitty situation all the way around and mostly bioware management and EA's fault. i mean the SJW writing didn't help but they knew they were fucked no matter what they did.

RIP Dragon Age, my favorite series

Passing the blame on the big bad EA and nebulous "bioware management" won't work on people with 2 neurons to rub together. Even a chimp would bash your head in after trying to bamboozle it like that.

Garbage in, garbage out. It's not complicated. Fire all the pronouns rainbow colored armpit hair creatures and hire people who can go 5 minutes without mentioning minorities, intersectionality or feminism or you're gonna end up selling to the chinese soon enough.

Revisionist damage control shit written by writer-friends of the writers.
History isn't written by the victors, it's written by writers.
They just do whatever horseshit they want then write how well received it was after the fact.

Veilguard was obviously a dimly written concept from conception, in fact the whole series is like that.
If DA4 was an outlier and all the previous installments had been consistently good then this narrative of "those ebil publishers heckin made us write it bad!" might stick. But it's been poorly written since the second game, and they've flip-flopped about what the themes, tone, superplot and world was ever since.

2 is actually still pretty good imo, just not as good as 1. i enjoy a lot of the characters and seeing kirkwall evolve over time. Also the Qunari have never and will never be as cool in design or in lore as they were in 2. I will never forgive bioware for fucking them up so badly after it.

Bullshit. These writers blaiming the big bad courpo are a bunch of trannies and rainbow colored faggots. They are ideologically compromised with what made Veilguard a fucking joke. They are trying to redirect blame all into the mechanics of the game, but these were just bad to mediocre, they weren't offensively stupid like the writing. THEY, the writing team, did this. They have to be executed so they don't taint other games.

Not a single one of those apologists are actual Dragon Age fans. Fuck off with that shit.
Bioware and Cuckrier shifting blame onto EA isn't gonna change the years of leaks and reports we got on how fucking retarded Bioware themselves have been throughout all this. EA being a bunch of cunts shitting it all up is just an extra layer over the shit-cake that is Bioware.
Fuck Bioware. Fuck EA. Fuck DA-V.

anon i hate to tell you this but the game came out in 2011, and i played it on release, long after i started posting on 4chins, and way before you did. not everyone hated it, and even if they did, i dont care. I know the complaints i remember the threads clear. I know the re used tile sets and areas were dull. I get it. But theres still a lot to love about 2.

Yeah, but the damage is already done. Doesn’t matter if they’re gone, the stench of their “writing” still lingers all over this mess. You can’t scrub woke sludge off lore that’s been gutted and rewritten five times before lunch. At this point, hiring new people is just slapping a fresh coat of paint on rotting drywall.

Ignoring the fact that the vast majority of this was the devs own fucking fault, I still don't understand why companies do this. People always say 'companies only care about money and nothing else' which is true, but if that was the sole fact why do they always implode their own projects? If all they cared about was money, wouldn't they want the best product possible released, and the subsequent positive reputation that comes with that good product? It's always baffled me. Sure the longer a game is in development the costs are ballooning and investors want to make their money back, but pushing a game out before it's ready and rushing development has a chance to backfire truly horrifically, and almost always does. It seems so obvious.
