Dragon Age Veilguard voice actor blames fans for game's failure, calls them "really bad people"

Maybe work in games that are not woke so you don't have to hear the customers celebrating the failure of these games

Simple as that
 
Too many games, I'm stuck with inquisition, don't blame me. And also, year 2025 & 2026 is filled with great contents, I'll look back when there's nothing worth more than Dragon Age to play. People s on everything, even R*, deal with facts and stop being a p.

I lost interest once they uploaded that early trailer, the one that made it clear we were getting a game with Marvel/Disney vibes all over it. I wanted a serious RPG with good writing, not a game where 90% of the dialogue was teen soap opera trash.
 
The same thing happened with Doctor Who. They just had to gay it up and they lost their fan base.

Hopefully, the show will make it.
 
I know this shit is crazy to consider but...

Maybe others had a different opinion on the game's quality than a person with a skewed perspective stemming from being directly involved in its creation.

Not liking the game because it didn't feel like a Dragon Age game, correct or not, is a fine criticism. Sometimes there's games in a series that is sort of the black sheep of that franchise. Same goes with writing. I still enjoy "Whedon/Marvel quips" dialog as it's usually just breezy fun though it's easy why other's are tired of it. Plenty of reasons and more to not enjoy something.

That said, there's certainly people with the sole goal, some without even trying the game, hoping it fails solely by having a trans character in the game. Not that it was perhaps handled a bit hamfisted, but by merely existing and thus should fail. For that she's entirely right.
 
fans is all they have left, all the normal people ditched the game and stopped being fans.

so basically they are yelling at barve and top scar fans :messenger_tears_of_joy:

and in that scenario.... yes.... they are the reason the game failed.

I think when it comes to failing products, people are a lot more forgiving or simply indifferent if it's something to do with some bad pricing strategies, it was shoddily made with cheap plastic instead of metal, etc.... People can understand the concept of price/value/workmanship/planned obsolescene. Some products are good, some arent. But at least that's at a price or functional level. And most bad products can be refunded no questions asked. Games and movies cant, unless someone is able to refund a digital copy asap.

But when a company jams in politics into something that's a totally different ball game.

And media/entertainment is one of those industries that loves twisting in politics the past 10 years. And that often pairs up with loud annoying video game employees on social media. You dont see a company making bar stools or HDMI cables doing it when technically they could with the way it looks and the packaging. And I'm sure the people have social media profiles too. But they still dont. But a game maker or movie script writer will.

So when a media company's product flops or company fails, a lot of people like seeing that as it's a slap back for trying to waste the customers time and money while trying to alienate them by taking a political side.

Well, then maybe next time try make a game for bad ppl, cuz the modern audience is too busy wearing orange vests and sitting in the middle of the road to buy your slop.
 
This shit is on gamepass and ps plus, I still bought clair obscure and will never waste my time with crap like this so called game. So fuck you and your woketrash.
 
Don't forget that this once great franchise has ended and will likely never return in a sequel. That's perfectly fine, though just don't be mean to voice actors.
 
Some people need a fucking cold glass of water thrown in their face and slapped with some reality. These idiots have been pampered to the point of being self-made victims. They really are so loud in their made-up fights and wars, but judging by sales numbers, its a tiny amount of virtue signalling self-serving egomaniacs hearing their own echo.

Something negative said? "Bad people on the Internet" says the voice actor to the Internet site IGN that's known to be super classy and never a bunch of hog fuckers.

When a new Dragon Age was either leaked or rumoured years ago, before any reveal, I know I was very interested along with many others. Then it came to the reveal trailer, and it was so bad that many just accepted it was going to be awful, and it was, and we ignored it. That apparently made us "chuds" and "awful people", but the ones on "their side" who didn't buy it are? Oh that's right, victims again.

Maybe we should all do a push-up every time one of these anti fun slugs sheds a crocodile tear, to show they are loved and brave.
 
To me Veilguard was a classic "fuck around and find out" type of situation. BioWare had room, time and resources to make a great followup to Inquisition. Instead they decided to pander to non-existing audience and did this weird Frankensteined product which was unappealing even to their core audience. They can only blame themselves for this

Crazy. They had a 10 year gap from their last DA game too. And Veilguard was the best they came up with.

She voices one character in Veilguard......and its not the Rook.

And from the interview she has done some amazing characters I dont think she needs to be worried about getting jobs in future.
 
I think games like Hogwarts Legacy and Kingdom Come Deliverance show that having a group of people online hating on your game and wishing for it to fail is pretty much irrelevant.... as long as you are making a good quality product that actually appeals to a decently sized audience.

Dragon Age didn't fail because some people online hated on it. It failed because it wasn't a very good game, it didn't stay true to what the franchise was originally about and most fans expect from it, and they decided to pander to a tiny group of people that has been proven again and again to be too small to support anything but small niche indie games.

Cool, he is entitled to his opinion. Vast majority of gamers disagreed. Listen, I get EA - they made a bet that the new audience will more than compensate for the loss of core fans.

What I don't get is how many companies keep making this bet and keep losing.

It literally has a batting average of ZERO.
 
There is definitely a fetishization of wanting to see certain games fail in the last few years. See all of the masturbatory threads about CCU.

But objectively bad sales are still bad sales and they should've been able to convince a majority of people that their game was worth picking up. Veilguard was particularly repellent because the writing was so on the nose, it was full of ugly annoying characters and the rebooted direction made it look like a hero shooter when it was revealed. It looked awful.

You can't keep blaming the audience for a game's failures. Plenty of games have had hate campaigns against them and still came out on top, like Hogwart's Legacy.
 
Actors... a demographic renowned for their sound judgement and depth of knowledge....

Watch the whole interview its very endearing.
The clickbait headlines are making her come off completely different to what she was saying.
The interviewer asks her about the games reception and she was wondering how people were judging the game before it came out, she thought it was Bioware being Bioware, people who disagree are entitled to that opinion and doesnt seem like she plays all that many games actually so she probably doesnt get why DragonAge fans didnt like DA:VG.
But then again Veilguard wasnt the worst game that came out that year, but was far from the best......do i think it deserved the internet hate it got.....nah we were too harsh on it.


Ive been telling myself ill find time to actually give the game a go.....but said time has never shown up.


I watched the interview before seeing the headlines, when I read the headlines I was like damn....its been spun and theres no going back now

Even if you ignore the so-so story and the terrible dialog, the game is boring. It was clear they tried to lean it in a more action oriented style and decrease the difficulty of quest and dungeons. It's fast paced and yet feels slow. It was far from the worse game of the year but I wouldn't put it in the good category, just boring.
 
I don't follow Dragon Age that much. But from what I knew about it initially, it was a damn good dark medieval fantasy RPG. And I thought DAAAAMN THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT HERE.

Then....Bioware went all Saint's Row Reboot/Fornite and shit on "The Vanguard". They didn't stick to the script. And because it did something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, it altered how the way the game played and the writing couldn't even be salvaged at that point. What a fucking fall from grace.
