Luke Stephens and JorRaptor are discussing the fallout while ignoring the elephant in the room


Shill up also completely ignored the woke shit.

I know people have an hard on for that guy, but not informing a potential buyer that the game is progressive as a whole fuck is terrible for a reviewer, the dude try to not make everyone mad but it's his fucking job to tell me that the game is the most egregious woke piece of trash ever created.
If you listen to his review you would think that being childish and without edge is the major problem of the writing...

I typically like this guy too, but I was bummed he didn't go into any detail really on the actual writing and dialogue. I appreciate that Skillup gave pointed examples on why it was so bad, which matches all these absolutely cringe ass scenes were starting to see now.

Morts seemed way more 10,000 foot view. I dont think he got paid to shill or anything, but I was let down by his review overall he couldnt specifically counter any of the negativity. Surprised someone who is such a massive RPG guy completely passed over commenting on the state of the writing.
What is the fucking point of making 100% completion reviews if he doesn't go deep with the explanation?

Yes and somehow Resetards still lost their shit and he is banned. I give him some credit for the review but how can you completely ignore the elephant in the room as a reviewer is fucking crazy.
Dude try to play both roles to not get any side mad, i personally think he is a spineless bitch for doing so, especially when the liberals already hate you and you have nothing to lose.

In my eyes you are a shit reviewer if you don't even briefly talk about the absolute dogshit writing of this game, not having edge or being childish is clearly not the biggest problem here.

This game is the ultimate bait and switch. Pretending to be one thing but actually being something else entirely. Lying about its identity and concealing its true self until it's too late and people have already committed to it.

Hmmm.

Indeed, he didnt have to say much, but he defo should mention at least with sentence or two even if its bit cloaked, aka "game is made for modern progressive audience" if he didnt want to tackle that woke shit directly.

Makes me think of when there was an idea to make James Bond female. Like isn't it much more convenient to hijack something popular and established rather than coming up with your own IP?
I wonder now how much actual Dragon Age is underneath all this. Some of the environments did look cool from what I saw, but basically that's the only thing I managed to find appealing...

Looks like none of the reviews warns us about woke shit in the game, and i dont even mean sellout max or close to max score reviews.
Even this one, from polish site cd-action which only gave 6/10 score(and when u read actual review it all feels like 2/10 game, it has so many flaws described, 95% of sentences in the review literally describe flaws of the game, no jokes.
Yet not even one word or sentence, even camouflaged one, that warns players of how woke-infested that game is
U guys can use auto-translators obviously, since i understand most ppl here cant speak polish.
But even short english description that is given for metacritic site says it all:
Dragon Age: Veilguard leaves us with the impression that we bought the wrong title. Instead of a true RPG, we get a mediocre action adventure game. A scenario stretched to the limit, a poorly constructed world and monotonous gameplay bored me to tears.
Edit: Luckily in the comments some polish players called the game "lgbt simulator" ;D

Oscar level writing and acting

"I'm going to be using 'they' instead of 'she' from now on. By which I mean, I'll be asking everyone else to use 'they' instead of 'she' from now on, because it's weird to refer to yourself in the third person. And, really, I'm only asking you to do it when I'm not here because it's also kind of weird to refer to people in the third person when they're standing right there. So, essentially, when you're talking to me, I'll still be saying 'I' and you'll still be saying 'you', but when I leave the room and you're talking to somebody else about me privately, I'd like you to do as I've asked. Please don't be bigoted about my desire to tell you how you should talk about me when I'm not there."
 
Annoying that I got perma banned from Resetera because I accidentally referred to Elliot Page as a she because I was talking about their role in Beyond Good and Evil when they should have just made me do 10 press ups. Who do I complain to about this?

Thats a badge of honor, not a reason to complain tho, u didnt give in to insananity, if arnold changes name to arnoldina he is still the same person, aka man, same way ellen page is still a woman, even with changed name.

What’s hilarious about that non-binary scene is the game lecturing the player that if you apologize for misgendering someone, you’re either not really sorry and just want to move on, or you are sorry and are trying to make it about yourself. But “pulling a barve” (aka pushups) shows that you’re truly willing to atone for your mistake. How exactly is breaking out into pushups not making it about yourself, and bringing 100% of the attention to you?

Have we gone beyond Full Retard? Is this the next level? Have we reached Ultra Instinct Tardation?

The level of lacking self-awareness at Bioware and among far leftist morons in general is kinda mindblowing, ngl

I don't know who is worse: the overly woke crowd or the butthurt right-wingers who basically fill their entire existence with anti-woke content, posting to indulge in their hate for different opinions and lifestyles.

Y'all are both equally insufferable and contribute to the destruction of our beloved hobby. Absolutely mental what people write on here. Get a life.

its a work of fiction. And creators get to choose what they create. Thats called creative freedom. You dont like what they produce? Dont buy it. Simple as that. Nodboy ows you anything. Even if you are a fan.

What's your definition of right wing?

Isn't this your personal head canon/fanfiction?
As far as I remember the "breast milk theft" was mentioned a couple of years ago during the drama about "Blizzard being a toxic environment" (and God knows if it wasn't a complete exaggeration). This man hasn't been with the company for what? 12-14 years at this point?

I think the dude is a complete moron, but labeling him as a pervert and blaming him of a crime with no evidence just because people don't like him seems more than a bit unfair, if not even slimy.

EDIT - It also seems like it was a one-time thing and not a recurring situation?

It's also about sending a message to EA and other companies trying to do the same shit. Bad sales can be explained by all kinds of logical leaps: art style wasn't suitable for a WRPG, the game play was too different from previous Dragon Age entries, etc etc. But when the game gets laughed at and ridiculed by the core audience for these games, they'll know that "Go woke go broke" is real.

I mean... Your very source is basically confirming that it's made-up bullshit that someone spouted randomly "for shit and giggles" and somehow stuck.

The Overwatch community found the guy who did it bragging about doing it on 4Chan and we know Grummz is a 4Chan user.

Morts always been a mile wide and inch deep, largely driven by the pace of his output and 100% completion target. Downside is he never has time, or desire, to really drill down on any particular mechanic.
Come on now, Morts is the shit - he goes balls deep on the games he loves (Owlcat/Larian etc) but his reviews? Maybe a little moreso than waffle on Ralph, (I actually love Skillup too, but he can waffle on),.. It feels like the angst has gone too far now, dial it back to normal levels, let's try and enjoy, or not-enjoy it as people with relevant opinons.

Morts and Skillup are both based, and I think it's fine they have very opposite sides of the tape.

Not interested in going deeper on political ideologies. Call them right-wingers, conservatives, Republicans, Proud Boys, or whatever else they identify as. I think it is clear who I mean by that.
I think plenty of people outside those descriptions dislike this ideology being constantly pushed.

Damn, so he was on 4chan at some point, like the ALLEGED self-confessed culprit of the theft (which was 100% not a troll) and few millions of other people.
This clearly holds up as OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE stacked against him.

Are you for fucking real?
