Dragon Age: The Veilguard Launch Beats Jedi Survivor to Make It EA's Biggest Ever Single-Player Game on Steam

They are comparing it's numbers to Jedi Survivor and making out because it beat that it is succesful. But didn't Jedi Survivor launch exclusivley on other platforms first and only come to Steam at a later date? Meaning This game that launched on Steam should sell massivley more on steam launch at a MINIMUM?

Absolutely mogged by a beta test.
That's brutal, man. I guess people really like hunting their monsters, wild. Never managed to get into it myself.

facts don't matter to the fake news, their only purpose is to mislead people, like how they compare Veilguard launch CCU to one-year old game BG3 daily number

Funny you are the one saying this. Jedi Survivor launched on Steam day one. And to be clear, I think Veilguard looks terrible, the dialogues are terrible and all this "modern" stuff feels completely out of place. I just don't see how are you better than the people you are criticizing when all it takes to verify this is literally one or two quick google searches.

Actually impressive. I'm expecting to see a lot more barves and low tier writing in games going forward.

That doesn't mean it can't be a B-tier game. Also, that's mainly from PC and Xbox audiences, who are used to either unoptimized games or mediocrity, so standards are probably lower when it comes to production-value.

Firewalk was a main studio?

Besides, despite all it's flaws, Concord IQ was good, performance was outstanding and animations were god-tier, so yeah, even Sony's biggest flop from a new no-name studio can make those great games you mentioned look like B-tier in certain aspects.

But this was about Dragon Age sales.

What Dragon Age? Nope it's all over the net, not just gaf. I don't actually have disdain for the game, I'm just having some fun.
That too, Concord as well.

All these things have no relevance outside of Gaf.
It's literally the only place where I read about this stuff

It sounds like you don't step out of gaf too often. Concord and Dragon Age are being shat on all over the internet, reddit, 4chan, youtube, facebook, twitter. you name it.

What's wrong? I don't see the drama about Concord or Woke outside of Gaf anymore.
Not on social media, not on youtube, it's not that difficult.

Gaf is keeping it alive. Like people can't move away from these issues.

90% of twitter is woke vs anti woke, that's cool if you have found a way to not interact with it, but that doesn't mean it's not there. And you really think GAF is keeping the woke argument alive? Lmao, you give us too much props

No idea, I don't see anything about on X either.

Really, this exactly the bubble and echo-chamber that's being discussed in that other thread.

Must be the best day of your life along with tommib tommib and Stu_Hart Stu_Hart . Congrats guys.
How so? I think Dragon Age Veilguard is B-tier Woke trash overall.

I couldn’t care less about this nightmare of a game. If you knew anything about my taste you would know I wouldn’t touch it with a walking stick.

I do care about the obsession of this forum with it due to politics and culture wars mimicking the shitshow of Hogwarts, Stellar Blade and Concord on Era - and the obsession with sales. Makes me miss list wars.

I also do care that some of the obsession with the title comes from a complete intolerance of anything gay, queer, trans, lesbian, whatever. And that’s just not cool and saddens me.

It was a joke guys, I do not actually think that this is the best day of your lives.

Concord was HUGE on youtube, same for DA. Thanks to woke stuff creators that are not normally interested in games cover both games.

Holy shit you're all over these threads. Are you okay? You are as bad as some of the people on the other site just in the complete opposite direction, did Dragon Age hurt your feelings? Maybe log off the computer for a bit and touch some grass :messenger_tears_of_joy:
I agree, god it's tiresome now.

I was kind of on board way back when, but now after playing 7 hours, I'm like "this is a pretty fucking good DA game".

I don't get the fight, and I bloody HATE forced bollox.
 
I need someone to make an incel/anti-woke version of this gif, cause that's me. Wish this game failed.

NNNnoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not like Outlaws is a paramater for sucess either. But I don't think its fair compare to one that launched later on PC? This one launched at same time as other plataforms.

Nice, really happy for BioWare. They needed a win!

EA took the bet, and I'm happy it's starting to pay off. Glad they are still doing a single-player-focused game. We all should be celebrating that.

And the game looks super cool, for sure will be something that I'll dig into in the early future.

Now let's get that Mass Effect game!

I get what your view point on that in general, but when it comes to this game specifically, isn't Dragon Age Veilguard doing a pisspoor job of handling these topics that are important to you and actively promoting the same culture wars you despise?

From what I’ve seen, it’s all a bit cringe. It could be cool for teens struggling, though.

You can always not engage from the options they give? I’m unsure about that. I’ll never play it. It’s no Dustborn in its stupidity from the snippets.

It’s made by a trans director. It’s normal that it would be proud of trans identity and non-heteronormative ways of life. I don’t think it’s looking to enrage, trigger and divide. Dustborn was. This seems genuine in all its cringeness.
 
Was opening the Steam store today and got a add for this purple game. Saw the ignore button, pressed it and it went away, never to be seen again. Magic. Try that on a console.

The most newsworthy part about that whole headline is that Jedi Survivor apparently did pretty poorly on Steam

I can understand this as a perception, however...

BG3 is one of the gayest and homoerotic games ever made. Universal praise on here and everywhere.

So I don't really think it's that. It's how this game handles it and browbeats you like a toddler. Written like a tumblr or twitter exchange of Narcissist Personality Disorder. Parsed from Reee threads, really.
