Will this game be forgiven in the future?

No

Yes in ten years it will be a cult classic just like every other piece of shit game of the 2010s because old good new bad.

>>716021219 (OP)
Not even casual girl gamers liked it.

>>716022914
Think more trannies are dying than spawning and now 988 doesent work so no the 10 people who genuinely enjoyed will not push it up to a cult classic

Once they release a new DA or ME game people will suddenly think this game was a masterpiece. Just like they did with ME:A when DA:V was released.

>>716023614

Andromeda all over again.

>>716021219 (OP)
why do you niggers still post about this shit nobody played nobody bought it all the people involved got fired who cares anymore.

>>716021219 (OP)
Maybe it would if it had any redeeming qualities.

>>716024279
Nobody thought Andromeda was good or better, because Veilguard released.

>>716025691
>Best combat in the series
Nobody thinks that.

>>716021219 (OP)
The writing is bad enough that I don't think so. And I don't even mean the Taash stuff. There rest of it is just incredible bland and safe.

>>716021219 (OP)
Hahahahaha, hohohohoho, hehehehehehe, hey hey hey

>>716021219 (OP)
What the fuck is going on? Is the gcj trying to defend this trash again? Or are the mods going apeshit for some reason. There has been almost nothing about this game in months and now there are like five threads about it.

Is this game worse than the third one? I dropped that one in like 30 minutes and regret playing as much as I did of the second.

>>716021219 (OP)
I thought it was possibly the best DA game during act 1
Now I'm in act 2 its the most boring slog ever and I'm starting to really hate it. The companions are hands down the worst part of the game. Their endless conversations about coffee and writing literal fanfiction are painful to get through. The companion crap is like eating your vegetables so you can have dessert (the main plot quests)
Somehow even inquisition felt easier to get through

>>716021219 (OP)
The franchise is dead and there will be no worse DA game to make people nostalgic for this one.

>>716024298
it's a veilguard thread, retard

I'm pretty sure there is some contrarian essayist lining up to do it.

>>716025691
>best combat
>veilguard
You're a gachashitter, aren't you.

>>716028274
Yes. The only thing arguably better is the combat, and that's only because it's been dumbed down so much (only 2 companions who you can't control and don't take damage).
Everything else about the game is unbearably bad.

>>716021219 (OP)
No, it'll be laughed at and used as an example of how not to alienate your core audience.
Every single developer that worked on that game should be blacklisted.

The series ended in witch hunt with stabbing morrigan and throwing her in the eluvian

>>716022914
LMAO
What a retarded take.

It was okay.

>>716024279
Inquisition had a cult following already. The game was shit but it clearly had fans at the time.

>>716022914
LOL no.

>>716024279
>being this delusional

>>716024279
Nah mate. Veilguard might have had the worst writing of any RPG of all time, but it was at least a playable game. Andromeda was an extremely bland and badly strung together piece of shit with horrible visuals and completely botched Mass Effect gameplay. I played both games (bless my fucking soul) and I could not stand Andromeda. I completed Veilguard and didn't hate it.

I have incurable yellow fever so the chinky elf autist qt kept me playing

>>716021219 (OP)
If you set step in a huge dog turd and it gets smeared all over your shoe and some gets on your pants too and it smells all day and even months later you can still smell it, so you eventually forgive the turd?

Great visual quality and very good performance

>>716022914
no because story telling is a timeless mechanic. If your game doesn't have it now it will not have it later. Preeching isn't story you can't gaslight people 10 years from now. They will objectively look back and think why the fuck were these type of games being made in the first place when you compare it to the history of all other games it now has to chronologically compete with.

I'm openly racist but the Black elf dude was actually completely inoffensive.

>>716031573
Somes up what they do its like Guild Wars 2. Weaponize marketing, sell a good looking world. Make the entire world, story, characters souless that even a generic yearly Japanese RPG has more love than this 8 year AAA monstrosity.

>>716021219 (OP)
fuck no

>>716031764
Horrible. Elves are already a race, making Asian and nigger elves is so incredibly retarded. Only a truly sick mind would look at a fantasy race and think it needs every race of human in there as well. Chink elves, chink dwarves, where does it stop? Chink orcs?

Biowares biggest mistake was the obsession with voiced protagonists and the dialogue wheel
The damage it did to SWTOR alone is immense. They literally can't afford new updates because they have 16 voice actors per language and are desperately trying to switch to silent protagonist
Mass Effect started this shit and you can pin Biowares downfall and most of their bad ideas back to it

>>716031893
>world story and characters souless
I had fun with the gameplay though. That is what video games are really about, first and foremost. Beating the shit out of enemies with a sword and board was straight up fun. It was clicky, flashy action that kept me playing. It had some fun armor designs, good animation, really high quality environments with basic linear exploration. There were parts of it that I enjoyed more than Baldur's Gate 3....It's an obvious modern product though that doesn't really hold up to snuff to competition. Massive mistakes that didn't have to be made ruined the game and there's way too much focus on the graphics/art style without any idea of how to present a compelling story

>>716032072
Yeah, I mean like I said I'm pretty racist and I can't stand race swapping and needless negroes. But when I saw these Elves of multi colors hanging out in the woods, I literally just see wood elves. Wood elves have always been shades of Brown/Yellow in my mind. So for me, I was able to place myself into the roleplay of being the highborn White man Elf of ancient heroes lineage. As the MC of this story all about the Elves and their gods and fuckin Solas himself, it just felt right for the story to play the savior White man elf. There are no other White man elves around except for "the bad guy" to take away my hero shine. Having "diversity elves" in the party is basically begging the player to do this. Remember in the last game, the elf girl was a straight up ugly (White) lesbian. This time, the elf girl is a cute Chinese woman with long black hair who walks around barefoot.

>>716032868
That's not cute or endearing and fun everything unfortunately saw about this shit pile of a game she's the embodiment of reddit.

>>716021219 (OP)
As a former DAfag who has all the books, games, comics and edited the wiki, no. It's over and fucking dead.

>>716032967
That was a sentence fragment. Try again if you want to make a coherent statement

Also, women are Reddit, period

It was really fun to detonate enemies with the slow motion effect and timing it with the dropkick to rubber band and catapult them into the air across the arena

There's some objectively nice stuff to look at and the gameplay while being exceedingly simple is still fun enough and flashy enough to keep you going. If gameplay and visuals aren't enough to keep you playing a game, then shitty modern day dialogue and painful by the numbers storytelling will make you think this is the worst game of all time.

If anything else....it's something you can throw a beefy graphics card at.

>>716032868
No game play isn't what video games are about. The reason why boomers style on current gen games is that they lack music, characters, story along with game play. There is a reason why Undertale is considered a classic and all other modern crap is slop and the boomers get justified. Dropping the quality of other parts when AAA should be hitting at least excellence in each category is telling. It should be called fake AAA

>>716031884
The concept of a black elf itself is offensive.

>>716021219 (OP)
I never hold anything against it in the first place. There's nothing to forgive.

>>716032072

>I thought it was possibly the best DA game during act 1
How so? I can't imagine someone thinking that unless you're all about the spectacle.

>>716033579
It doesn't bother me in DA because DA is American fantasy. Tolkien elves being black is something different as it's rooted in European mythology.

>>716031884
He was the best companion and also best romance

>>716032996
The extended media was a mistake anyway. Veilguard constantly referencing it was so fucking annoying, you would've thought they'd learned from doing it in Inquisition.
They reference the shitty comics and novels more than the previous games!

>>716021219 (OP)
it will be remembered as the game that killed the dragon age for good.

>>716033412
>game play isn't what video games are about
So these are current day /v/ posters.....yikes

I played Dragon Age Origins last year and that chaotic mess of tab targeting real time with pause MMO gameplay was complete ass. It's really aged quite badly compared to a more classic turn based system. RPG elements are nice, sure. Dialogue choices are nice, sure. Seemed like Mage is completely busted compared to everyone else. The encounter design was downright horrible. Combat is a slog. Despite the lore/world building and some of the quests being seemingly pretty good if you like woke and Satanic writing, "muh blood muh sacrifice muh murder", it straight up looks and plays badly.

So I stopped playing Dragon Age Origins for it's shitty and boring gameplay. I actually was able to complete Dragon Age The Veilguard because it was fun to play. I really don't care how much better everyone thinks the story/lore/characters are in other Dragon Age games. I'm 100% sure that they really are. But I honestly don't care. Those games are ugly as shit and they aren't fun. I couldn't play Inquisition either, for this same problem. The gameplay simply isn't fun.

should i pirate the game for the graphics? the game kinda looks good to me

people will look back at this period and wonder what the fuck society was thinking
kind of like the 70s but somehow gayer

>>716024279
>Just like they did with ME:A when DA:V was released.
When the fuck did this happen?
Both of them are fucking awful. Literally the only reason ME:A didn't get even more backlash (and it got a lot) was because the vast majority of normies were blind to certain things when it released.
There is a conversation in ME:A that is just as bad as the "so... I'm nonbinary" retardation except that it happens between background NPCs rather than party characters

>>716034052
>he didn't fuck the Chinese qt wholesome chungus feet queen
Why are you gay???
Davrin was my best bro and I was actually shocked when he died, I didn't see it coming, was an actually good moment, the ending sequence of the game was legitimately well executed

can somebody post the story of the troon showing the game to some dudebros who talked shit about the game

>>716034016
>Kang Aragorn
but why

>>716034216
That's what I did. I did NOT pay to play this game. If you are actually interested in a light hearted action fantasy romp, don't be dissuaded by 4chan. I enjoyed the game all the way to the end, and I was fully prepared to fucking hate the game based on the reactions. So I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty good overall all things considered despite being a bit bland

Okay, serious question: Bethany or Carver?

And no,Bethany has nice racks isn't a good reason.

>>716034016
Black people were the first europeans, and then they moved to africa south of the sahara after Yakub finished the bleaching process.

The music in this game is so odd. Half of it is kino 11/10 and the other half is dreadful "worse than Inon Zur" tier.

>>716034216
It's visually nice and has some good set pieces but that's about it
>>716034572
Carver. Sibling rivalry where you overcome it and make him a grey warden works best.

>>716034183
The fact you accept the faults of AAA and gobble up the slop that is fed to you is whats killing the industry and letting them get away with shitty things. When it is bad it is bad and the story of the latest Dragon Age is fucking terrible.

This is a really high quality game engine. Mass Effect "4" should look fantastic.

>>716034478

If I like something significantly enough about a game that's not gameplay like the story/music, then I will look past shitty gameplay. If I don't like anything about it significantly enough then I can't look past shitty gameplay.

If I like the gameplay, then I can look past shitty story/music/characters.

>>716034753
Emmrich was a good character with a really solid loyalty quest or whatever. His area was also really fucking cool. Him being a Necromancer really made me wish the game was a proper party based RPG with controllable party members so I could try out those powers. That's what the game is fundamentally missing, the party members should have been the different classes so that you can try all the different abilities without having to change your build around or restart the game. Game was way too casualized and stripped down to actually succeed as an RPG

>>716034910
This. I actually play video games, so I understand that there are countless faults and flaws to be found in most every single one of them. It doesn't stop me from finding things I like though.

>>716035316
she's black

>>716035353
She is a midget

>>716035161
I like her because all the other women act like children
I can even see how Taash is above Harding/Bellara. Those two are horrendous - as bad as Taash is, she at least comes across older, like a moody teen going through a phase, instead of a 6 year old
Why they did this to Harding is beyond me

>>716035404
And Neve is a cripple.

If the worthless fuckers at EA-Bioware manage to make something worse, you'll get apologists.

Fuck off with that shit! Bellara is an absolutely stunning jade like beauty. I loved her round chinky face and bare feet. She is exactly the kind of companion I want in a game like this.

>>716035353
>>716035404
Harding has a nice freckle face and Alli Hillis voice so I really wanted her at first, but her body shape is just literal cancer. They tried to make her body shape as unappealing as possible.

>>716035565
Manfred would have wanted this.

Honestly I don't think any DA game had good romance options

>>716021219 (OP)
Can it go any lower? How's ubisoft these days, I thought they're going bankrupt according to expert posters in here.

>>716035575
>She is exactly the kind of companion I want in a game like this.
Quirky manic pixie dream girl? No thanks.

>>716034989
Taash would easily collect #1 if they hadn't messed with her concept

>>716033817
The literal translation for Elf is "white person". And not in the wh*te person sense, but as in literal white. Pale, marble white, that sort of thing. If you want non-white elves, call them something else.
Even then, if you want them to look as something other than white, why is your first choice basketball american? Why not make them green, or grey, or fuxia, or mustard? If they can be any color, because it's fantasy, why stick to that? Also, what kind of elven diversity makes you a chink? Where did they come from? Do elves migrating to the east turn chink? For what reason? Let's assume that south elves turn basketball because of the climate, although that's the north in DA, if I recall, is there an eastern gook climate in DA? Make it make some fucking sense.

>>716035684
Bellara is not a manic pixie dream girl.... She's just a typical wholesome chungus. Retarded femcel Asian researcher stereotype. And that's not really what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the CHINKY face, long black hair, accessories, her bare feet. If I was designing an elf girl party member for a fantasy game, this is basically what I would design. Maybe a little bit more "hot/sexy" and less "normal" of course. But her being very normal is a big part of the appeal. I'm sure Emmrich looking like an old man is a part of your appeal.

>>716035790
>However, reconstructing the early concept depends largely on texts written by Christians, in Old and Middle English, medieval German, and Old Norse.

>>716035785
The fuck? How did they pivot from that to what we actually got in Taash?

Aww, he's smiling :)

>>716035892
Yes, that's what it means.
Are you trying to make a point, or agreeing?

>>716035924
man has a mid life crisis and is now non binary and has to write a self insert story about himself which then gets wide criticism from all areas of the fandom resulting in xem being sacked from their job and crying about it on bluesky

>idle speculation
Listen, if you want to play interpretive dance, about what a clear word means, then I can do it with nigger, if I want to. It doesn't have to mean nigger. Niggers can be any color. They can be blue, and blue lives matter. Or sand colored (sand niggers as I like to call them).

My point is that while you're allowed to choose the Crow as your character backstory, the dev really go out of their way to whitewash anything bad the group ever did.

>>716036784
There is no fallacy.
We have you calling it a fallacy, when everyone knows what it means. It's why we had no darkies as elves, until Bioware and the pinnacle of serialized television that is the Rings of Power made nigger elves a thing.
At least in Greyhawk you can have any skin color elves, which is why you can have grey, purple, green, blue, white and black elves.

>>716036295
2011-2014 was probably the best period for the DA fandom
Lowest point (yet) but with hope on the horizon, so it was alive enough for ironic "fans" to spread their misery and shitty content

It's a literal textbook example of the said fallacy, you absolute retard.

>>716036990
>2011-2014 was probably the best period for the DA fandom
Everything from DA2 and on is the shit period of DA. It's amazing how it went from GOAT to shit in one game, and stayed there for 13 years until it became fertilizer.

post Rook

>>716036769

Can't Merrill take haste too since every mage got access to Creation tree?

Yeah that's what really sucked especially in Veilguard. The faces of the Qunari were so drastically altered. They bore little resemblance to their DA2 counterparts. I did my best to make mine somewhat intimidating and rough. But the sliders could only do so much.

As I said multiple times already, you can't use etymology as an argument in the first place. That's where the discussion should end.
But you're also wrong on said etymology. You can't even understand what >>716035892 even means, since you're profoundly retarded. So go ahead. Rave about muh white beings and ignore the fallacy you're committing once again, like you always do.

This is so egregiously anti-lore. Out of anyone, you would expect a dalish keeper's second to know basic healing magic.

>>716037853
Why does he look like a chad here but physically repulsive in the actual game?

>>716037672
oh noes, bad animation in a bioware game

>>716037870
Yeah, it's so dead, they won Game of the Year at the GAYming Awards 2025.

>>716030168
Is this a boy, or is this a girl?

>>716037970
Yes. Among many other issues.
I mean, at least it's better than 2025 WoW, but that's the lowest bar possible.
It's better than Gollum.
Barely.

>>716022914
Dragon Age Origins was good then and good now
Dragon Age 2 was bad then and bad now
Veilguard was dogshit then and dogshit now
Now fuck off OP shill. I'm not buying this or Dustborn.

>>716038062
Yes.

>>716038092
that's not fair to bioware, they probably had retarded interns do all the scenes in the game

imagine being an animator at bioware
>yes, you need to animate 10000 hours of dialogue, combat, and a bunch of other bullshit but we only want to pay for 10, re-use as much as you can

>>716037892
It's DA2 dude, the whole game is anti lore.

>you and two girls casual RPG beat em up
>one of them asian, one of them redhead
>high visual fidelity
>fun gameplay
I pirated. Yeah, it's a woke and gay game. But if you didn't know....video games were always gay and woke. Dragon Age has always been gay and woke. Seriously.

It's just that people used to LIKE gay and woke stuff because it was usually made by cool, weird guys and a few girls. Now, gay and woke stuff is made almost exclusively by lame women and trannies. Dragon Age Veilguard is no more gay and woke than Baldur's Gate 3 is, it's just that the developers of BG3 are cool weird guys and a few girls. Bioware is exclusively lame women and trannies.

>>716038169
>they probably had retarded interns do all the scenes in the game
Not my problem.

>>716038092
Yes that's kino

>>716038169
I messed around with flycam in inquisition and pretty much every scene with a dwarf inquisitor involved him standing on a box conveniently placed out of view of the cinematic camera

>>716038062
Rook a pretty boy. He Link. He come to town. Come to save the princess Zelda

>>716038267
rollslopping wins again

>>716038354
you'll also notice that most camera angles are completely still and from two specific angles for an entire session of dialogue

I liked the Link haircut a lot it's very nice, really sold me on playing as an elf

>>716034183
>it straight up looks and plays badly.
just like all bioware games lmao

>>716021219 (OP)
I would even consider playing it if I could treat everyone like an asshole like in Inquisition because that would be at least amusing. But without it it's just meh.

>>716038207
All the women are ugly as shit.
Harding was never cute to begin with.
The gameplay isn't fun.
It's boring and stale, the targeting is shit, the action gets boring after the first hour.
It'd have a better chance if it went the Musou route, instead of the broken targeting Bamham route.

>>716038695
Speaking of, what was up with the parry indicator? It has to be the most unreliable I've ever experienced.

>>716038692
I don't see why I would want to spend time with people I wouldn't want to be around, just to tell them they're shit.
I ain't playin' this game.

>>716021219 (OP)
Elf Chick was unironically the best companion. I did fancy things with this midget. She also is pretty cute.

>>716038764
It's not like your party even does anything, though.
They're a slotted ability that you can use on a cooldown, and then forget. They're accessory slots, not party members.

>>716038207
>But if you didn't know....video games were always gay and woke
Oh please. There's a significant difference between gay characters existing and constantly shoving the agenda in your face. For DAV it's clearly the latter.
It's like saying
>games have always been political!!
Yeah, no fucking shit, but the question is which one takes focus? Which one takes priority?
Is the gay person a part of the world or is the story built around the gay character simply because he's gay?
Did the developers intend to tell a story first and foremost or did they want to spread whatever agenda they believe at the moment and video games are just a tool to use for their goal?

Take for example Black Sails (the series about pirates). There's a gay main character in there and it's amazing because his sexuality had its consequences in an age where it wasn't normal. It's why he was (indirectly) ostracized from society, it's why he had to flee and it's why he became a fearsome pirate. It's also almost never brought up, he's not bragging about it at all.
Compare this to Veilguard, the characters talk about their conditions or beliefs constantly and they berate anyone who thinks otherwise.
It's also ridiculously dumb at times.
I'm talking about the dragon conversation.
>What? Who doesn't like dragons?
is such a ridiculous sentence that only people with genuinely zero empathy can grasp.
Dragons in this world aren't majestic mythological creatures like in our world, they are threats who burn down villages and massacre entire populations.
People wouldn't develop the same interest in dragons in that world as they would here and straight up asking
>who doesn't like rampaging and feral serial killers?
is severe autism at best and sociopathic behavior at worst

>>716038764
Yeah not only were they not able to make animations clear enough to parry by eyes alone, they expect you to watch a symbol above your head and ignore everything else while that said symbol is also unreliable

>>716036696
Harding ended up being the most boring and bland companion. And I was excited about her the most, dammit.

>>716038915
I just ignored the detonator system entirely and used them as my buff/heal slaves. Mostly Time Stop for the free spells

>>716038695
>ugly as shit
Bellara's hot as fuck to me. I love her chinky face. I have yellow fever. Wrong
>Harding was never cute
IDC she's a freckled redhead party member in a big budget video game and there aren't many of those in existence. If you like dwarves, she's perfect visually
>gameplay isn't fun
Wrong
>targeting is shit
Stop using the lock on when you need to crowd control, never had a problem choosing my targets with the shield combos.
>boring after the first hour
I literally never got tired of dropkick detonating crowds of demons off of cliffs and throwing the shield
>Bamham
I see what you mean because of a flashing icon, but no not really, you don't have the suck to target mechanic in the same way at all to facilitate the combo system. None of that is present at all like it is in Spiderman, for example. So no it's not Bamham. It's literally just Mass Effect 2 with sword and sorcery instead of guns and beat em up controls.

>>716038356
>>716038481
Nice.

>>716038764
>>716038941
I literally never had a problem parrying. I parried throughout the entire game consistently. Counter attacks were very satisfying. I got the enhanced abilities to increase my parry window and cause burning and other status effects from the parries as well which was very cool. I wish more RPG games had customizable effects on parry like that. Parry in the game functioned very, very responsively! You literally might be retarded....I was parrying crowds of Darkspawn literally nonstop with both shield and hammer

>>716037487

>>716039014
Yeah, I won't disagree. I showed up for Lace, but I stayed for Bellara

>>716039246
>>Bellara's hot as fuck to me.
Disgusting, but continue.

>IDC she's a freckled redhead party member in a big budget video game and there aren't many of those in existence. If you like dwarves, she's perfect visually
She's like Anders Brevik with freckles in Inquisition, man.

>>gameplay isn't fun
>Wrong
Alright, shit eater.
We traded tactical RTwP for action slop, and you're saying it's fun. It's not even good action.

>Stop using the lock on when you need to crowd control
What crowd control? I'm trying to hit the second between two enemies and the fucking thing can't target him.

>dropkick detonating crowds
Fun once or twice, stale after that.

>throwing the shield
The fucking hit ranged shit with the shield puzzles
I never want to shield thrown anything again in my fucking life.

>It's literally just Mass Effect 2 with sword and sorcery
Firstly, it's not. Because I can actually target shit on my own. While the targeting mechanic isn't as intrusive as Bamham, it certainly isn't good or helpful, and it also gets in the way of your actual target.
Not to mention that all enemies have that blink ability and you're slow as fuck, and the game will have you target literally anyone else, even though you're trying to go towards the same guy that just blinked away.
It's tedious, it's not fun, and it's boring. If you play it on easy, at least it gets done and over with rather fast. Which shouldn't be the saving grace of your combat system.

>>716024298
Look at OP's picture again, faggot

"Fun thing"? It's only good once. Stale after that. Yep. Never ever had fun with thing after the first time. Sex? Good once, then forever stale. Roller coaster? Stale. Killing someone with a shotgun in a video game? It's only fun the first time. Never, ever fun again. That's why nobody even plays shooting games. Because that gets so stale so fast.

Exploding dropkicks to demons off of cliffs and bouncing off walls and through objects? That's stale. Everyone knows Dark Messiah was a stale game and kicking people is only fun one time. Throwing your shield like Captain America? Couldn't possibly be entertaining more than once.

Serious gamer right here.

>>716040189
Someone's having a melty.
Nobody cares about your dropkick fixation.
It wasn't that fun.
Get over it.
Are you going to rant about just how fucking fun the rinky dink jetpack in Andromeda was, next?

>hero of fereldon saves the world
>gets shit on in every future DA game and basically ignored
>hawke saves the world
>barely mentioned again, shows up in inquisition for 10 seconds
>inquisitor saves the world

man i sure do enjoy being a hero in a Bioware game

>>716040284
>game is fun
>"no game is not fun"
I think there's simply an irreconcilable difference of opinion, that's all
You can't pretend to be the arbiter of "fun", buddy

>>716040189
you literally fell for common denominator slop that is made to appeal to dimwits

>>716040310
that's why Mass Effect clears Dragon Age by a million light years

>>716040310
Don't forget that Ferelden got nuked off-screen and all the previous villains were just puppets of the wizard illuminati
VG really was all about killing the old dragon age games

>>716040350
>game is fun
But it's not fun.
The fact that nobody likes it, is a testament to how fun it is not.
Go have a meltdown over at the unofficial BSN or plebbit.
Nobody cares what you specifically think is fun, about a game nobody likes.

>have fun doing cool moves in a video game with good graphics that I pirated
>tell others "video game was fun to play and looked good"
>emotional meltdowns occur
/v/ really hates that word fun, eh? Autists really pretend that 'entertainment' is an objective truth to be measured and quantified and not a subjective experience that's charged by emotions

>>716040452
Yeah, so the REAL Bioware can step in and make the Dragon Age of their dreams, and what Dragon Age was really supposed to be about all along.
Not that Baldur's Gate spiritual successor shit, fuck that franchise that nobody even remembers.

Dragon Age went through an identity crisis since DA2, and when people pointed that out, Bioware threw hissy fits about how all DA games are supposed to be different. Well, since they love different so much, they can look for a different job now.

>>716040638
>Anon says he likes shit
>People tell him they don't care he likes shit
>Go on tangent about how /v/ can't dissociate themselves and understand the reasoning behind someone liking shit
>People tell him they don't care
>Wow you people hate fun
Maybe we hate shit. Go be a retard somewhere else.

The only redemption like thing that could happen in the future is if leftism finally becomes unpopular. Then some youtuber will go back to this and try to sell you a theory that Trash storyline was carefully crafted in a very specific way. Namely that it was written by a tranny but got rewrites or people nudging the tranny into writing a realistic take of an average troon which is completely unbearable to the world around him. Trash is hypocritical all the time and her mom is actually shown to be unreasonably understanding but this isn't enough for the troon. What I have seen from all the webm's here made me think that this really is like a sane person being forced to run with a troon power fantasy plot and trying their best to sabotage the power fantasy and show it how vile and disgusting troons are.

If there's anything an angry /v/irgin loves more than a food analogy, it's a "eating shit" analogy.

>>716040189
What's your point? What was anything in Veilguard fun to do even once?

>>716022840
/thread

>>716040880
The post you are replying to doesn't say anything about eating shit, though, just that something is shit. And shit can be used to describe the quality of something. You are the one proposing eating it in this occasion. So ...

>Exploding dropkicks to demons off of cliffs and bouncing off walls and through objects

How about shield bash combo? You can charge up and throw your shield with magic and then you can catch the magic on the return, and charge it back up and throw it back again. You can do it like 4-5 times in rapid succession and each time you parry your own magic attack, it gets stronger and stronger. Super satisfying and fun to do. I did it for the entire game and it never got stale. The dropkick is very fun to do. I love any video game where you can a hit dropkick. Death Stranding 2 has a great dropkick that literally does not get old either. So those are two very specific moves, the shield throw combo and the dropkick, that I never got tired of doing. The finishers are also fun. Smashing and crumpling a nerd with a big ass hammer is fun to do. The super attacks are all fun too. The game has fun action. It's just simple.

The gameplay isn't really the major problem with the game. The writing and the tone was the problem with the game. That fucked up tone affected the entire games botched design, which leads to being a completely watered down RPG babysitting simulator.

The point is that Bioware consistently and systematically removed what people loved about DA from Origins, to give you brainless and mid.
By comparison, it is total shit.

I feel sorry enough for you as it is.
I hear that's a torture method in GTMO.
I hear that even the Chinese thought it was too heartless to torture Uyghurs with.

>>716042715
That's all well and good, because retards go about saying that about DA2 and DA:I, even ME3 and ME:A. I think we even got a couple about Anthem now that the game is being taken offline.
It doesn't change the fact that nobody is changing their minds, nobody cares, nobody's buying and Patrick Weekes isn't getting his job back.
All this is, is 5 grieftube views, for some retards contrarian opinion. They can have it.

Nah, its a peculiar mix of woke propaganda and corpo slop. Its as if Dustborn and COD had an offspring.
