RIP. BOZO.

 

[falling into hell]

I'm proud to be one of the bad people. Neogaf we did it.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

People's prejudices proved not only right but less harming than the actual game after release.

Fuck this Regan. Someone call an exorcist.

 

[GHound]

I'm entitled to your money and if you don't give it to me you are a bad person on the internet.

 

[{insert code here}]

Comes across as entitled. There's always been "bad people" on the internet, always will be. If the game was good it would have sold well it's really that simple.

Guys I was contacted by a time traveler on Telegram. He wanted me to share this message here on GAF. Apparently Veilguard flopping the way it did was the lynchpin of the future being set into motion. Check it out.

The year is 2028. The Chuds have control of every lever of power in the western hemisphere. It's been 2 years since the last woman in America received a paycheck or report card. Trans people are successfully growing their genitals back after a breakthrough pharmacalogical discovery (fostered by the all-male workplace no doubt). Life expectancy is widely regarded as infinite. Hard to believe it all started with Veilguard flopping, but here we are. The people who worked on it have all been convicted of crimes against art and aesthetic, with the last of the executions taking place yesterday. If there are any Chuds reading this, I just want to say keep up the good fight. The fruits of your labor are right around the corner.

Cuz shes a voice actor and they were asking her about games she has been in.
Inquisition is one of her favorite roles so they then asked her about the mixed reception Veilguard got?

If you worked on an IP and it was one of your favorite jobs, but the latest entry in that IP with or without your input wasnt as well received its not an illogical question to ask what you think about the receptions.
And it having been such a light hearted interview you would answer NOT thinking its going to be headlines on GAF.

She thinks the reception prior to release was already outta whack even if people hadnt played the game yet.....its NOT exactly a dumb opinion even if it came from someone who is more in tune with gaming, someone less so its totally valid.

Even if we ignore the obvious gaslighting, "I'm in it" (paraphrasing here) is not a good enough reason to think something should do well.

She should try understanding her potential target audience better instead of arrogantly believing that it's a good product just because she contributed to it.

Are you telling me that the fucking retards over on the other site that these game devs so desperately try to cater to didn't buy enough copies of your trash game? Wow, I'm fucking shocked. I'm shocked that trying to cater to the vocal minority didn't equate to sales. But I'm sure EA would be stoked considering the all important engagement numbers, right???

 

[Plague Doctor]

So I got a question.

Are the chuds that powerful to tank a AAA game or are they nonexistent compared to the modern audience?

I get so confused by this narrative.

 

[EverydayBeast]

BioWare has struggled since the end of ME3, Inquisition delivered in some aspects but BioWare could sell millions of Dragon Age Remastered copies, new games aren't their thing anymore. And don't get me started on Andromeda. If you think about modern BioWare they're a joke.

This place is such a circlejerk sometimes.

"I also think a lot of people kind of wanted to see it fail, or wanted to see [BioWare] fail, either because they're just really bad people on the internet — of which there are unfortunately many, as we have discovered."

Well, they didn't name "fans", so the thread title is a little inflammatory.

Of course, we're just in the usual media cycle these days. I mean, what else was this VA supposed to say? "Yeah, that game I was hired on, that was straight trash"? That's a career ender, right there.

Base on these pronouce dudes PIV, we are minority but somehow we manage to tank every produce they are made

 

[Super Lemon Drop]

Asmon's response to this yesterday was epic. "And I was one of those bad people. We killed Bioware and we'll do it again. And we'll keep doing it until we get rid of you all". Paraphrasing heavily here

Imagine thinking that that cockroach salesman is "epic."

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Why don't these tards stay on Bluesky, and don't say anything outside of their safe little bubble? Nobody wants to hear what comes out from your mouth. You VA'd one of the very worst AAA titles released in the last 20 years. Instead of virtue signaling a disaster made by untalented freaks, why don't you try to understand the reason it was so poorly received? Seriously, these so called adults have the mental of a worthless summer ant.

[OmegaSupreme]

Really bad people lmao. Actors really are far removed from reality and up their own asses.

 

[Jinxed]

"I thought it was just BioWare being more BioWare."

He says that EA considered those mechanics - the kind that shaped games like Dragon Age: Origins - to be "slow and cumbersome," rather than the "action-y and slick" presentation that the studio was being pushed toward. That meant that Gaider's views "were often not very welcome" despite his long tenure at the studio and work on many of its most famous RPGs.

 

[Crayon]

Is the part where they are blaming the bad people on the internet in the original article? The snip in the op seems quite shy of that.

 

[IAmRei]

i see star wars pattern here ...
ugh, old dragon age are miles better

 

[AGRacing]

We currently have a thread complaining about the use of Roman numerals in game titles… so I do understand EA's predilection to dumb the series down.

But they could have tried turning it down maybe II notches instead of IX.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Honestly the only way to make these people disappear is give zero traction to their stupid statements, when they make their rounds and are reported and get talked about they are getting exactly what they want.
