"No. I like girls. Girls smell good"

I caught this the other week and just thought "typical". BioWare is all about delivering garbage like this.

Here is a cut scene in the game that makes it obvious someone or a group of people has a chip on their shoulder and had to make everyone aware of it.

 

[Topher]

Would this game be as attacked as much as it is on here if it were a PlayStation exclusive? Would you be quick to throw it under the bus?
Spider-Man 2 has you playing as lame-ass Miles Morales, hooking up two gay dudes to go on a date WHILE VENOM IS ATTACKING THE CITY LIKE A FUCKING ALIEN INVASION, as well as other meaningless shit with Miles, such as music quests (although I like the Wu-Tang reference), playing as a somehow uglier Mary Jane, who has a "gun" that is more powerful than Miles, Peter, and Insomniac Venom, aka Harry O., combined, yet it seems convenient that all of Sony's transgressions, and Sony's contributions to this current state of the video game industry, get swept under the rug.

You just summarized much of the NeoGAF Spider-man 2 OT.

I miss 30 nerds in a room back in 1995 making Doom.

They still exist, they're doing their own thing and generally keeping a distance of this bullshit

But people told me it was just one quest!

I like how it implies that the dragon age world had their own version of creepy sexologists.

 

[Plague Doctor]

This reads like a splicer's diary in Bioshock 1.

 

[simpatico]

If you don't like unhinged gender diaries you don't like modern gaming. Nah but really, the writers room at Bioware seems like they're just a few strokes of the pen away from a date with someone's woodchipper. I think it's worth digging deeper to see if there's any mention of age in these diaries.

 

[laynelane]

Seriously though, both Spidey 2 and TLOU2 were rightfully criticized on GAF.

The Concord threads were huge too.

isn't weird that this movement is kind of mysognisitc as fuck, on top of being misandric too of course.

its really fucked up.

[adamsapple]

The sad part is that there's a fun game underneath all this moral posturing.

But that's not what anyone will remember this game for 3 weeks from now.

 

[diffusionx]

That's the funny part. Used to be we'd always see those few people saying "gee whiz, I don't even know what woke is anymore! Sounds like it's all in your imagination. That thing you loved was always woke!"

Now with Veilguard and Dustborn it's finally become so blatant and heavy handed, it's really hard for these people to keep playing dumb.

Or the "who cares if it's woke? Isn't complaining about woke the same as being woke"? Like... bro, come on.

I don't even care if someone likes it. I am sure there is some wokeshit I like. But it is wokeshit. It's obviously a core part of the game's ethos. EA has talked about it a lot and it shows up in the final game. So just own it and keep playing.

It's doing fine thou

 

[Hohenheim]

So.. is this diary thing something I actually have to deal with in the game? Like actual gameplay dialogue? Seems really weird if so.
Or is it just one of many written notes/codex things that's all over the game and don't affect the game?

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

You're right.

They took a world built for epic quests and dragon slaying, and turned it into a soapbox for forced gender politics. Instead of being legendary heroes, we're stuck navigating a checklist of identity issues.

In three weeks, no one's going to remember the plot twists or character arcs—they'll just remember the game that tried way too hard to teach a lesson no one asked for.

yea, they brought in one person to write just this and then they left and were never heard of again. It has nothing to do with the game and it is absolutely not the case that the same writing team that put this in also wrote the rest of the game, all the dialogue, the characters, the scenarios, and everything else.

If it's so insignificant I suppose you won't mind if we just delete it?

 

[Kacho]

Ralph from Skill Up perfectly captures the absolute fatigue

 

[Hohenheim]

Insignificant? Never said it was. I'm genuinly asking if this kind of stuff is all over the game, or if its just a codex (like there's usually lots of in these kind of games)
I just want to know if its lots of stuff like this in game.
Nevermind, i'll Google it.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

I was just about to post this

Honestly most people that have seen that movie thought of it too cuz it also crossed my mind lol

 

[BennyBlanco]

This shit is beyond parody. Why the fuck are they so obsessed with this topic?

 

[Rush2112]

Cringe writing? NO WAY!

 

[InterMusketeer]

"Trans woman IS woman" is literally a phrase you'd hear through a megaphone at a political rally. What a lazy and completely uninteresting way to to explore this subject. Such sensitive topics need a certain amount of finesse to be done justice. Seems they weren't up to the task. As it is, they're probably doing more harm than good for their cause.

 

[Azure Crystal Gaming]

I get that it is cringe and bad writing, and is forced BS, but enough really is enough. Been adding every DA topic to my ignore list. Not the users making or posting in them, just the topics themselves.

 

[eNT1TY]

Too much and not enough gender 'genda more or less. What?

that's the trick, they are all sexual predator, everytime you are in argument with them, they will point everything to porn

 

[TintoConCasera]

I just can't anymore lads.

From the company that gave us cool characters like Jon Irenicus, HK-47 or Garrus among many, many others... we get a retard with horns that can't even decide if he likes girls or boys. The fuck is this shit? Is this the best their writers can come up with? On a fucking RPG of all things?

Come the fuck on, this is so bad that the only way I can understand this happening is a desire for propaganda and agenda-pushing that's much stronger than the desire to deliver a good and properly written RPG, if that desire even existed to begin with.

Fuck this game and fuck Bioware. You used to be cool, but not anymore.

 

[simpatico]

The real losers in all this is the tech team at Bioware. Outside of the character models, this game really looks fantastic and runs really well. Makes you wish EA used their vast resources for the power of good. Imagine a proper, true to form DA:O sequel on this engine, with this budget. It's a real shame. It's like a weird twilight zone ending, where we finally get to graphical utopia, but all the games are trash and we have to play low poly indie stuff to get even a whiff of good creativity.

I don't blame you one bit. It's just a bizarre fixation from these devs.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Ah yes, ultra modern language of the current state of affairs in 2024 irl just feels so at home in a fantasy game that hadn't touched the subjects at all in its prior 3 games.

Clearly there's noooooo agenda here lol none at all.

I'm black. The second I saw that black girl in Ragnarok's trailer, I swore it off. Concord speaks for itself. (I mean it has to 'cause it seems like y'all don't wanna talk about it on here, this site, neogaf).
This site has a policy of no console warring, no platform warring, but that "policy" is blatantly, "flagrantly", ignored and disregarded, in favor of suxking Sony's dick like Sony is giving out free blowjobs by Andie Anderson. They have a litany of shit games that contributed to this shit era of games that most of y'all label "woke" (The Last Of Us Part II, all of Spider-Man 2, the bullshit in Ragnarok, Concord, Aloy's ugly ass, etc) and yet we only act as if Forspoken, Redfall (Star Wars) Outlaws, Concord (but barely), Veilguard, Suicide Squad, Dustborn, and other games are to blame.
How the flying fuck is a world with Abby in it off limits but Veilguard free game? If platform trolling and platform wars are banned, how the fuck is the blatant Sony shilling allowed so frequently and wantonly?
The entire industry is fucked. I'm on record as wanting a Pro, and wanting certain games on it that most of these "gamers" here, aside from one guy I liked and quoted earlier, wouldn't even think to look out for for PS5 Pro. I want a PS5 Pro because I've had my PS5 for three years. The shit is old, so it's time to get a new one. I prefer a platform that came out the year I bought it, rather than get something that was made four years ago.
I can support something and see the flaws in it. I clearly support Sony. I clearly support something even when they release blatant anti-consumer practices and initiatives against me. I just don't get how this one-sidedness is allowed on here. If Sony shot y'all fuckin' moms y'all defend them. The only thread on here free from bullshit dick sucking is the graphical fidelity thread, and even that place can get a stray Sony shill boy from time to time, but it's a lot better than the remaining threads that feel like agitated ESL would-be Trump supporting Sony worshippers.
Peace to @SlimySnake. Fuck it.

You're black? Sorry for those associated. Is your father's name The Enter Key?

So cringe.



I mean at least pick on the visual aesthetics of the girl.
These western devs with their weird insistence that men and women need to not be hot at all.
So much better when the eastern devs with their portrayals of big titted dump truck fitted females and hyper masculine and roided out dudes is what we all want to see.
/s

The writing is cringe and super duper gender inclusive try hard trash, but its barely worse than most of the comments people make here about character models and other shit.

it could have been worse tho, they could have voiced this shit haha

Yeah and a lot of people could too when you look back at games like Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim etc that does allow roleplays with gays/lesbian. and have gay or lesbian characters in them or movies back with gay or lesbian characters. Its kinda funny how the whole lgbtqxyzpuik movement did everything during all this time to try and get more people to accept them but it's actually doing the complete opposite and there's even more haters now and that a lot of people that had no problems with them before are now starting to get annoyed by them because of what they're doing to movies/games and the youth with their propaganda. Most people in the past didn't mind or have problems with them before the whole woke pronouns shit. Feel bad for the ones that do see through this crap and know that the constant pandering isn't helping them one bit and is actually making things worse.
