TGhost, do games w Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism
@TGhost@lemm.ee avatar

I will play it but piracy version.

I’m annoyed about EA and their LGBT washing to dump sells.

Blaze,

Interesting feedback, thanks!

I don’t personally feel rdr2 was padded, but it was really damn long lol. I loved it but am not complaining at the idea of this being shorter

mox, (edited ) do gaming w Dragon Age: The Veilguard Combat Breakdown – What You Need to Know

The PC version of Dragon Age: Origins allowed programming the characters with combat rules, so I could decide ahead of time how I wanted them to behave in a fight. It was so much better than the usual options of either tedious micromanagement or watching a dumb AI do dumb things with my characters.

Did that feature return in any of the sequels?

delmain,

DA2 had it IIRC but Inquisition didn’t, and it looks like it’s not in Veilguard because overview makes it look more like modern FF games which definitely don’t have anything like that.

What you need to know

Nothing. There’s too much stuff coming out about Veilguard. I don’t need to know how combat works, I don’t need to know every detail about my companions, I don’t need to know the maps. I’ll find out when I play it ffs

Fork when? It’s libre + Tor onion service when?

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

The are several iirc, I don’t think contributors have consolidated onto a single fork yet.

autonomoususer,

On Tor?

woodgen,

For now, at least yuzu has found a fork in suyu git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu

autonomoususer,

This is bot a Tor link, are they asking to ged rekt?

MonkCanatella,

@Rider That would be fine by me. RDR2 felt padded. Hopefully they let the player have some agency in the story mode too, unlike RDR2.

Hafler, do games w Skyrim Is 13 Years Old, But Elder Scrolls 6 Is Nowhere in Sight While Bethesda’s First Four Games Took Only 12 Years

We will get Skyrim re-releases 15 more times before we get an ES6 release.

chloyster, do gaming w PS5 Dashboards Flooded with Unwanted Ads—Sony Claims It Wasn't Intentional

Tbh I believe it was an error. Some of the stuff being shown was extremely old. Like “go see the new spider verse movie coming soon”

Doesn’t sound like a thing that is working correctly

Zahille7, do gaming w Sony doubles the price of Horizon Zero Dawn just days after remaster reveal

So the first one was $25-30 on steam and they brought it back to $50?

I already got the game last year, so I’m not affected by this, but that is incredibly shitty.

conciselyverbose,

This is about consoles.

I don’t think it’s really that bad, because it enables them to sell the upgrade for $10 without just being a steep discount path for new purchases.

I’d much rather previous owners be able to upgrade for $10 than new buyers be able to get it for $20. Funding a remaster on new customers instead of double dipping is way more fair, and price conscious customers can still likely find used physical copies cheap.

If there’s anything I know, it’s that gamers all have a problem with aloys appearance, positive or negative.

t3rmit3,

How can you have a “positive problem” with something? That seems like an oxymoron.

hal_5700X, do games w Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism

Veilguard is shit and woke. Let gaming journalist love it. Gaming journalism is a fucking joke.

TGhost,
@TGhost@lemm.ee avatar

So for you, “woke” and “shit” are the same ? 🤔🙄🙄

hal_5700X,

I had to stop and think of a time. Something was woke but wasn’t shit. I couldn’t think of something, so yes.

MarcomachtKuchen,

Could you share what qualifies as “woke” for you?

hal_5700X,

A piece of media who pushes politics. The politics doesn’t belong in the media’s story and world. Like the creator(s) just added it in to push an message.

Before someone ask. Yes, Right wingers do this. But I mainly see the Left do this.

TGhost,
@TGhost@lemm.ee avatar

Lmao, you clearly don’t deserve your avatar.

All the sci fi is majority woke and leftist, before we named things as “woke”. Tell me u don’t understand things without telling me 😂😂

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

He need to watch some star trek to see some “woke” or Dune, one of the most powerful organization in the galaxy is just women, so “woke”, not even gonna say of the plot been about colonization, too much leftist wokerism on this series.

TGhost,
@TGhost@lemm.ee avatar

The day they will understand, they will got an hearth attack

hal_5700X,

Do you know the difference between a story who haves politics weaved into it, and a story who they just added to it without a care?

TGhost,
@TGhost@lemm.ee avatar

You lost my interest and I will not educate you 😂🙃

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

How that is fault of woke and not bad fucking writing?

If you add a bad character in the story without a care is fucking awful and what I gonna say may surprise you: their genitalia doesn’t fucking matter.

hal_5700X,

How that is fault of woke and not bad fucking writing?

The reason why the writing sucks. The creator(s) don’t about the quality of the writing. Because all they want to do is push an message. All of that type of stories are woke. Like I been saying all this time.

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

No dude the writing sucks because the writer is underpaid, is sucks because someone want quick cash, is sucks because who make decisions doesn’t want quality he wants money.

Mad Max Fury Roads is a fucking woke movie but was been made for a long fucking time, the storyboard was made decades ago and when they finally film it they got all the time in the world for editing and even after numerous setbacks during production and the “woke” plot is one of the best action film ever made.

Stop eating right wing propaganda.

DragonTypeWyvern,

You’d think, but there’s actually a pretty big subgenre for fascists in space.

TGhost,
@TGhost@lemm.ee avatar

1vs1000, im really shocked.

All the sci fi is majority woke and leftist

MarcomachtKuchen,

Would you consider military operations in a foreign country a political theme?

Also do you think it’s okay for artists include a message in their work, even if it feels “pushed” to you? Maybe it feels essential to the creator, but since you disagree with the message it feels pushed to you.

Rhynoplaz,

Ever stop to wonder who decided that sexuality was “political”?

Sim City is a political game, because you’re the goddamn mayor.

Please explain to me how and why my genitals should have ANYTHING to do with politics.

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

The politics doesn’t belong in the media’s story and world. Like the creator(s) just added it in to push a message.

literally all of literature is created to push a message. who are you to say what “belongs” and what doesn’t? it’s their story.

Semjaza,

That’s a potentially interesting definition.

Dream Daddy, the daddy dating sim isn’t a woke game in this context because the conceit of it being an LGBT friendly town with a bunch of single gay dads makes it all make sense.

But a game set in 1300s Japan with a lesbian white protagonist would be woke because that seems incongruous?

caut_R, do games w Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews Are In — Is BioWare’s Back in a Big Way?

Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this? I saw the review thread and it seemed to have scored quite a few good reviews. I‘m not informed regarding the matter at all, the last Bioware game I‘ve played was Dragon Age 2, so I‘m genuinely clueless.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They changed a few key components about what some people were looking for in a Dragon Age game, which Dragon Age 2 did as well.

Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this?

First five minutes of SkillUp’s review is a good rundown. It seems like a mindless action clickathon with imitation of gameplay seen in better games, a safe sterile story and a large chunk of world design repurposed leftovers from someone’s abandoned Overwatch-but-DA ambitions.

edit: also, I note how reviews that peg this as a “return to form” are written and SkillUp’s has video to back his opinions and it looks pretty damning.

Defaced,

Yet mortismal gaming says it’s his persona goty

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCz1ITSy2O8

I don’t really know what to say about it at this point, but as I loved inquisition I’ll probably love this one. The best thing to do is wait for release and make your own opinion.

zecg,
@zecg@lemmy.world avatar

Never seen mortismal and I’ve only seen SkillUp a few times. I don’t really follow or need any review at release time, I’m not touching any game that’s 50€ or more until two years have passed and it’s in the vicinity of 75% off.

TwoBeeSan,

Yeah I love his reviews and opinion typically. Got me into wotr

hal_5700X, (edited ) do games w Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews Are In — Is BioWare’s Back in a Big Way?

Is BioWare’s Back in a Big Way?

No, they’re not.

EDIT Prediction of Veilguard’s & Bioware’s future

  • High Early sales due to the name.
  • Massive drop off in sales shortly after release due to word of mouth about game being shit.
  • The game will sell well enough for Bioware, Reddit, Twitter, and ResetERA to say that the negative buzz around the game was just from incel chuds, but not well enough to be a massive success.
  • There will be very little DLC for the game, probably just cosmetic microtransactions and a small quest chain due to lack of sales.
  • Bioware once again limps away just barely escaping death due to mediocracy and a slow release month.
