it will die soon, and it's already heavily discounted in other countries, so they can't even use full Steam price $60 to calculate revenue

That’s simply Steam regional pricing.

But 'woke' shit can be financially viable. Baldur's Gate 3. But that was a game that integrated progressive values in an effective manner, with good writing and characterisation.

See the point here? Anyone screaming for something to fail just because it features inclusivity and diversity is as big an asshat as anyone who roots for the same thing to succeed for the same reason.

The desire to see something fail should be because it is bad. Bad inclusivity and diversity is the problem we have right now.

Yeah, plenty of games with "woke" themes out there, but they don't stir up the masses because they are actually done really well. That doesn't seem to be the case for Veilguard. I'm still going to judge for myself, but the shit we have seen so far has been really bad.

I'll have you know, tomorrow November 2nd is:
  • Día de (los) Muertos
  • All Souls Day
  • National Deviled Eggs Day
  • Broadcast Traffic Professional Day
  • National Bison Day
  • National (?) Ohio Day
  • World Ballet Day
All celebrations with gamers at home and a lock for 150k+ CCU.

Unless it doesn't hit the number which means gamers were busy with the aforementioned holidays.

Well, congratulations, you're as fucking stupid as everyone who wants to see it fail just to own the left wingers.
I disagree, the two things are not equal.

The chuds are advocating for ideology to be removed from games, not to have their own beliefs put in place instead. The leftist cannot help himself, agreeing to take this stuff out and push no message at all is not an option.

difference between BG3 and DA is that swen never said that he wants BG3's main focus to be LGBTQ proper representation , they focused on story , rpg mechanics , exploration

unlike DA https://thatparkplace.com/dragon-ag...gendermancer-claims-game-is-inherently-queer/

Oh you are one of those unironically using that chud term. What does it mean to you?
Also in this context, the two things are equal. Though I totally see your perspective but it clearly is equal in context. Your point is more of a sidepoint.

At this point, this game is definitely well short of sales expectations and there is no point in arguing with those who do not acknowledge this. The CCU is less than Monster Hunter World (not Wilds beta, old ass MHW). It's Joever or whatever kids say these days.

2.5 user score with over 1300 reviews.

I’ve seen some clips, the writing isn’t even befitting of a 3/10 game.

Yesterday I saw this tweet by Switch Up which surprised me a little, as they are very laid back.





In the X feed Hookshot clarify that they aren’t owned by ZDM, but that ZDM do have a minority shareholding.

That aside, it’s still an interesting rabbit hole.

Western governments need to get a grip on legacy media. The larger companies who have their tendrils in everything present 5 fingers of the same hand as separate entities. They are trying to condition you.


They own even more than I listed.

And guess who the largest shareholder is in ZDM…



BlackRock.

I dunno, I kind of think the MHW and Nuketown excuses are a bit weak (I know some people are taking the mick). Like these fans have waited 10 years for the next installment, I don't think they would go play a beta and I'm not even sure of the true overlap there between playerbases.

They don't even call it by name on there. Just "The Wizard Game". So fucking juvenile. The game's probably sold close to 30m copies by now, and these people still think their opinions from the arse-end of the gaming community bear any relevance.

I always found it funny how the way they chose to refer to the game was always gendered in itself. Like I made a witch in Legacy, but no we have to call it the wizard game. Unconscious bias runs deep in the truly bigoted.

Either way, I think EA and Bioware would be expecting at least to rival Capcom and Bethesda for their flagship RPGs. This looks to have fallen way short. I have expectations of certain games and this is not a DA game, from art to pathetic writing.

And I played Tell Me Why, am playing LiS now and while I still think the ideology stuff in those games is a lot stronger than the original DONTNOD titles, it's to be expected so I'm not hung up on it, though I can kind of easily trace the descent and in my opinion it does negatively impact the game underneath.

It's a shame, as someone who liked Inquisition, I was really looking forward to the next part of Solas's story.

Same here bro, but what can we do, apparently bioware thinks sane's ppl money stink and we all get converted to their delusional agenda.
I guess its time for more push ups
