[Joel Was Right]

Might try on ea plus or whatever it's called

Quick search shows me there wont be a trial offer for this.

 

[UnrealEck]

You can only access it by buying it or paying £16.99 for EA Play Pro.

Step 1: It's not real <= You are here

Step 2: Yeah, it's real, but it's not a big deal

Step 3: It's a good thing, actually

Step 4: People freaking out about it are the real problem

When even Ass of Can Whooping tells you to dial it back.

 

[lefty1117]

who cares?

Love that Colin called him out. I wish some people would stop taking anything Grummz says as gospel. The guy is an absolute fool that's just clamoring for attention.

Really interested in seeing how user reviews go for this game. Hopefully they're earnest reviews, but I can't help but think the majority won't be.

Indeed. Grummz has his uses but I see him peddling a lot of bullshit as well.

The game is going to get ripped apart on aggregate sites. The steam reviews where people are paying full price for this game will tell a bigger story.

Pet peeve of mine is when someone uses incel in a non satirical way. Like it's usually the fattest most socially awkward most grotesque internet person that ends up scooby dooing as being a closet alt gender the whole time!! Yet everyone else is the incel.

 

[Krathoon]

What is going on with the outfits in this game? The most strangest stuff.

Odd peeve, but I can see how some people in the crosshairs of both sides might look at it as a needless insult.

But if you spew nothing but hate and derogatory shit (Not saying you) …I can kinda see why they’re involuntary celibate…and it’s not because of lack of looks, money, or an attitude. There’s nothing positive about them.

 

[Krathoon]

Doctor Who actually had a pronouns scene in one of it's episodes, but they actually subverted it because this alien had no concept of pronouns.

I thought it was hillarious.

I wish they were more creative with it in this game instead of lecturing.

 

[Madflavor]

Grummz honestly does more harm than good for the anti-woke crowd.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Well I bought it. I preloaded it for my wife and myself. I’m in it for the combat and she’s in it because this is exactly what she likes.

 

[Revolutionary]

Indeed. Grummz has his uses but I see him peddling a lot of bullshit as well.

The thing is that we need more people like him to call out all the bullshit going on in the industry, but when he's serving up obvious fakes like that it's like... what the hell are you doing man? You've just destroyed your already shaky credibility over something so incredibly fake. Such a dumbass move.

It's basically a smut novel with a battle system lol.

people like him always go to the extreme. we rarely have normal guys defending bad stuff in the industry and its why no one takes these people seriously and its why changes will never happen.

Steam still will not let me pre-load the damn game. Come on, Steam.

This better not be one of those "install at the last minute" games.

 

[SF Kosmo]

The source was Grummz

Lol Grummz, this guy is a such a grifter.

 

[DeathGuise]

Rook is gay.
Allistair is now gay.
Sten turned gay.
Archdemon is gay.
Everyone's gay.
You HAVE to be gay.
Dialogue options: Gay, or gay

 

[Krathoon]

It does sound like you can offened the LGBTQ+ characters in this game. So, that is fair.

It seems like a regular Dragon Age where you can be a total bastard.

 

[april6e]

Don't quit your day job OP with that stinker of an attempt at humor in the title

hate to break it to you but the PC version has no preload because EA decided for some reason since there is no drm they can't risk people being able to pre-load encrypted files

 

[Mossybrew]

I think this unlocks tomorrow morning? Will be playing after work between handing out candy.

 

[lmimmfn]

EA heavily filtered who had access to pre-release code for reviews. Don't expect the metascore to stay as it is after launch.

It's the same crap from the Inquisition days, 9/10, game of the year etc. etc.

All nonsense, the game was absolutely awful, an absolute bore fest and I consider DA:Origins in my top 5 games of all time.

 

[j0hnnix]

As a Non-BUYNary I'm deeply offended by the title.

 

[CliffBronger]

I have never played a Dragon Age game before.

But i really feel sorry for the fans who have been let down and have to put up with this entire shit show.

 

[TransTrender]

This was the soundtrack in my head at work for a job I had with a shitty company for about 2 years.

 

[dottme]

So people are already streaming it on Twitch. It looks a mid range 6/7 out of 10. I really have a hard time to see a 10/10 based on the part I’ve seen so far.

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Sgt.Asher]

What is it with these old washed up game devs being total twats?

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Lmao at that title!

Never played a DA game before but I really like the top left anime style and the top right Inquistion one.

 

[gow3isben]

Fine I admit it.


I prolly will hate buy this shit.


I am more scared of the repetitiveness of gameplay more so than some of those story choices

 

[DaleinCalgary]

It looks so good and right up my want list!!!

woke, so no. Fuck em

 

[adamsapple]

Neither of those are representative of what either game(s) was like.

Don't sleep on it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Exactly. We just need more "normal" people to point out blatant issues when things go in any direction that is stupid. But we don't need them to be some bizarre caricature that's just begging for clicks and attention. We need people that are smart and precise, rather than dorks creating something out of nothing.

 

[Krathoon]

What the hell is up with the chin crap anyway? Someone mod that out.

We need a de-chin mod.

 

[Gonzito]

I hate woke culture but that Grummz is an idiot extremist that causes more harm than good to the cause

 

[Krathoon]

The game needs a boobs and butts mod too.
Make Dragon Age hetero again.

 

[TheSHEEEP]

I hate woke culture but that Grummz is an idiot extremist that causes more harm than good to the cause

He tends to, yeah.
Like all chronically online people, he started out mostly reasonable, revealing some shit from within the machine.

But as time went on, he went deeper and deeper into madness and now regularly appears to be a caricature of a person.
It's what happens when all you do is move in rage-bait-fuelled echo chambers.
There are so many "internet personalities" like that (on every side, too, remember Jimquisition?), it really serves as a good reminder to people that touching grass is an option, too, and likely a better one than interacting with people on Twitter.

 

[Krathoon]

This game does feel kind of homey.
Like all of the characters are sitting around drinking hot chocolate.

 

[Trunim]

Why is EA pulling our plonkers with first off releasing it in the afternoon, and also not offer any preload. This is the digital era in 2024 or they stuck in 2004? This is me on a PC with ea play pro, not sure about other platforms.
