It's annoying how this stuff just infects every game thread now. I haven't even wanted to talk about Intergalactic because of it.People might as well get this all out of their system so they don't shit up the OT telling us how they feel about a game they will never play.
Imagine spending hours every day doing that shit. I'm always impressed by his/hers/their tenacity. Nothing of value has been added in any discussion ever, but the emoji game is on point.demigod trying to react to every single post here depending on what fits the narrative of his favorite plastic box:

Dragon Age The Veilguard Review: A Massive New World
With robust world building, masterful writing, and fun and fluid combat, Dragon Age The Veilguard was worth the wait.butwhytho.net

You wouldn't be able to eat or to get dressed.Canceling any game because I disagree with the personal opinions of its developers is crazy to me. Obviously if the game is flooded with lots of nonsense, my opinion could change, but a good game is a good game. If North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un directed an amazing game, I'm probably buying it. Who gives a shit about personal opinions of developers? If I did care, I wouldn't be able to watch any movies or TV shows
I honestly wish all that stuff would be regulated to it's own thread. Trying to talk about the game before release is also fun but impossible these days if something DEI related comes up.I don't mind it in other threads. The OT is a different matter though. If you're boycotting the game then why the fuck do you need to be in the OT telling everyone why you won't play it.
Relax dude. The OT for Veilguard was fine and so will the OT for Avowed.People might as well get this all out of their system so they don't shit up the OT telling us how they feel about a game they will never play.
So does 9.5 means it's not as good as DAV, or not as "good" as they define it so it's actually better.They gave Dragon Age Veilguard a 10/10. “Powerful writing”

Greg Kasavin at GameSpot was good.Which reviewer is accepted? I'm losing track about all the possible requirements a review needs to have the seal of approval. Can we determine a single one?
There are no fence sitters here. You enter a review thread because you’re interested in the game. Period. In some cases because you’re interested but can’t access it or want to see it fail for whatever personal reasons like culture war etc. But there is always an interest.That's the rub when people try and pretend to be a fence sitter. Selectively, of course.
Haha, my bad for being a dumb dumb.![]()
I thought the joke was obvious
That leads me to another thought: what separates the triggerings we get from idiotic posts on social media with the brands we all love or hate? If Ghost of Yotei ends up full of wokeness, will the same people hating on Avowed hold true, or run defense for their team? Will the defenders of Avowed also defend Yotei?
Just some food for thought.
Funny how quickly we want from "it's just one developer" to "it's just a few". Avellone pointed towards its pretty much being the whole studio now and that was evident in the outer worlds, but let's just ignore that and pretend to play "both sides".
I am not trolling but speaking facts. The game is made by a studio that supports racism because no one in this studio released a statement apologizing for the tweets that the art director of the game made even tho they became viral and even Elon Musk called him out
The studio prioritize DEI and they are clearly on board with racism and I am going to call them out and bash their game at every chance I have because they deserve it and because this is a forum and I have freedom of speech
Just to add to this post, imagine if it was the other way around, the art director or some company says krusty burned black guy in his tweets or some shit like that, how would that be defensible? It would take seconds for a studio to release a statement and probably firing that developer
Please lets have common sense and not be hypocrites, Obsidian deserves to go down after this
I still haven’t figured out how people feel about Avowed on gaf, but to me, it’s just a gay Skyrim. Why play this when Skyrim exists is a mystery to me.

Thats not what he said.The studio needs to apologize because an art director says he’s open to coaching Black artists in his spare time?

Pretty much, yeah. With a fraction of the scope and scale. The game very obviously reflects the people working on it and if that's what resonates with the broader market then more power to them. I've accepted that I'm no longer Obsidian's target audience.it’s just a gay Skyrim
I dont understand why he is even bringing skin color into that. Can he not offer stuff to just everybody? For me it all sounds like a uno reverse card in racism.That’s precisely what he said. Offered to review portfolios etc for black artists. Zero promise of a job at Obsidian. Zero discussion around hiring.
And not reviewed by the same person
incredible how review works uh?
Bold of you to think these no-name sites have editors?But the review would have been reviewed and approved by the same editor.

When the exact same verbiage is being used in reviews across multiple reviews across multiple sites.... you're gotdammned right they have editors which are bought and paid for by the industry on whose tit these fuckers are suckling.Bold of you to think these no-name sites have editors?
I don't even think is racism, he just suffers from main character syndrome.It's just pure racism. He thinks it earns him brownie points being the sycophant that he is.

It's what they call, bigotry of low expectations. White savior complex.I don't even think is racism, he just suffers from main character syndrome.

I'm guessing he liked the more linear direction like previous Bioware/Obsidian games based on his other reviews.
That shit is good. Especially with strawberries and blueberries.he probably gets plain tart froyo too
Your posts with the Jesse Peterson avatar kills me sometimesThat shit is good. Especially with strawberries and blueberries.
‘We’? It’s you pushing that angle.
And we’re about half a day away from seeing critic review consensus and player impressions to see if Avellone was full of shit. You could just wait for that.
You're taking the "we" there too literally. I'm not referring to myself.

By the way, nobody needs to wait for anything when there's been their recent work and social commentary to go by.
Must have missed the side quest to Gulf of America9.5? Sounds like IGN.
Steam reviews of their recent work.
Grounded (2022) - 90%
Pentiment (2022) - 95%
The art director’s personal opinions is a sign that Avellone was right?
So you're ignoring the outer worlds which happens to be the game in the most similar category to this because...?
You were the one who used the term ‘recent’. But even if we cite that game…
It has an overall 83% rating on Steam, and even Metacritic user reviews are at 7.8.
It’s also not an ideal analogue for Avowed since it was made in much less time, with a much smaller budget and in a rushed development cycle. Not an exact comparison to a bigger budget game Obsidian claims has the longest ever optimization and polish period of any game they’ve ever made.
Should we go further back In time?

Budget and time didn't save Dragon Age Veilguard from the aspects that people are sceptical about here.
So no, no need to go further back in time.
