@EndymionTv I think things are looking up for Gina. I may be queer, but I'm not stupid. I don't know why, but the queer folks in the games industry only see ESG money and their own feelings, but don't know how diversity and inclusivity ACTUALLY works and and context of those words in videogames and just want us to sit, stay, roll over and accept toxic positivity pills as treats. To them, we're like dogs.😒
Should have happened way before tbh. They already had 2 chances, dunno why they've had a third. It's not like studios under a big umbrella such as EA means anything anyway. People come and go, and the people from Mass Effect 2 time are long gone... It's not like EA loses the IP if they do that, they can always reboot it with more suited devs... Studios are just another kind of brand, they mean nothing.
they did that back in inquisition made no sense for hawke to leave kirkwall to help some random and varric became the hero he never wanted to be. i expected this one to get worse just didnt know ho worse it would get
the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... repeatedly trying to force the market to accept dei slop is basically textbook insanity atp
@@furnfurn6314They treat making video games like they are manufacturing narcotics. They seem to think gamers will always buy games like addicts. You know how dealers cut their drugs to make a higher profit while selling an inferior product because addicts will buy it regardless? That is just like companies cutting their games with DEI. You get less game for your money and it is bulked out with ideology. Gamers aren’t addicts, and we can just play old games that were higher quality.
Hate to be a "um, actualy" guy on Dragon Age lore, but for thouse who do not know: Gray Wardens are the only living creatures that can destroy archdemon for good is because in the initiation ritual they drink archdemon blood. Most die, but thouse who dont are now immune to corruption. And when gray warden kills archdemon, its soul then travels into gray warden instead of other dark spawn for resurrection. But because gray wardens have soul of their own, unlike dark spawn, archdemon and gray warden are both destroyed. And no, gray wardens do not become dark spawn themselfs with time. They eather simply dying from their body no longer been capable of withstanding the taint or they go into deep road to die in battle with dark spawns there.
Thanks for destroying CDPR woke propaganda. It's a shame that they try to hide and destroy their Polish roots which they had embraced the most in their Witcher series (It was them who made them that slavic, not Sapkowski).
the studio had massive talent but as many studios do, they got mismanaged and burned like light pulps. cyberpunk in particular was given poor instructions and drove a lot of talent away. The red engine could easily keep up with UE5 and deliver better performance, dropping it is just a huge waste.
The local talent has left or leaving and being replaced by woke devs from other countries. I pretty much have written them off the moment they became a public traded company, we know the song and dance now.
Dont forget to ask for a refund, most likely they can’t help themselfs and this will happen way before the 2hrs limit of the no questions asked full refund window
I have zero problems with a Salem Witch hunting set piece for AC. The concept sounds great, and if done the right way, I would think about getting AC Hexe. Here's the problem...I don't trust Ubisoft to do it the right way.
GAMERANX erased their article. People should go to their channel and ask them when they are releasing their apology, and followup story on CDPR lying. Thx.
I dunno, winning would be seeing studios at least trying to course correct as much as they can considering these are years, even decade long projects... But instead it feels like they're doubling down. The only win is when those projects find no audience, but even then it's just a bittersweet victory, because at the end of the day, when a game or an IP is killed by activists, everybody loses...
@@GastNdorf perhaps, but it will be a comforting feeling knowing those activists will be SCORNED by the gaming community to the point where their messages will be ignored.
We are not winning nor were we losing. Dude its not a fight 😂😂 they make games we either like them or not. Us paying for products or not buying then isnt a win or lost.
Hey they told us they don't want us to play "their games". Let their "modern audience" play them, mainly the ones that they give free copies, because like it or not this is the only way that "audience" will ever play these games.
@@dindunuphenwong sorry mane, but youtube is bugged, this is to OP xeralexdragonheart3464 You don't understand, you are not the targ3t audienc3, but the ch-ildr3n of the futur3. They want to propagad3 this shit to ki-d5. That's why they're trying all of this foockery in sch000ls
I'm actually mad that BG3 let's you romance everyone. I want to be able to be best bros with Gale, but whenever I'm nice to him he looks up lovingly at me and I have to be like "Calm the f**k down, bro!" But no, modern games would never know how to write two straight men having a solid friendship
Couldn't agree more. It also makes all characters more shallow, like they don't have any tastes or preferences. I still can't believe some people claim BG3 not to be woke, just because it's not a bad game. They just buried the spoiled meat under a lot of tasty spices, so it'll go down easier.
Yep. Romance is the major falling point of BG3's otherwise largely fantastic writing. You CAN have "friendship" with each character but the game stupidly defaults to romantic intentions, to the point that the only way to get them to back off is to trigger the romantic sequence and then reject their enthusiasm wholeheartedly like a douchebag. It feels so unnatural and uncanny, and it makes me think Wizards had a hand in mandating it be that way because it WASN'T that way in Divinity: Original Sin 2, which also had romance, both gay and straight. You had to go out of your way to initiate the romantic dialogue and the game made it clear that was your intention. To think, back in ye olden days when I played DA2, I thought it was so stupid that they put the little romance heart on certain dialogue choices to ensure you knew you were going down that route. Now, BG3 has proven that's apparently a necessity if your writers don't know how natural romance works (which the DA2 writers clearly didn't either).
I remember when I was playing it and trying to romance Shadow heart then randomly at night Karlach came over to my character and said they wanted to bang me despite barely interacting with her in that playthrough. I feel like the game could have 100% used much better conformation system instead of characters having telltale 'so and so liked that' which leads to them wanting to fuck you regardless if your characters talked to them or not
I'm honestly baffled by how people praised BG3 a lot for being woke (or rather, "totally indiscriminate") with regards to the romance aspect, but I guess it's just people who really don't like being shoehorned into specific choices with that portion of a game just because of their own character's aspects (like with DA Wokeguard). As far as I knew the old Baldur's Gate games, it's not like the romance was the biggest aspect of it, as opposed to just the freedom of approach in gameplay. Heck, I highly doubt a large percentage of modern BG3 players actually even played the older games considering the age of the older titles.
That's funny. They want more money to do a worse job and because of a "drop in living standard." 😂 Their drop in living standard is directly correlated with their politics. They deserve nothing.
THey also had me laughing when they said "end the gender pay gap" which translate to we want to get the same money as the people that actually do the work just without doing the work.
@@ShadowCthulhu Also there is probably no gender pay gap. And if there is one then it isn't as big as they make it. It would be in the low percentage between 1% and 5 %.
@@tety5775 I would say there is an "earning gap" as if you work less hours you will make less money. Taking time off for your monthly cycle means you will make less money that month.
@@ShadowCthulhuno they don't. They want more. They don't complain about a pay gap in cosmetic and fashion industries since it's obvious who gets paid more, and for sanitation jobs since they don't have a problem with that being male dominated
@@EndymionTvdo you think the cost of this project and possibly the signs showing that this game was not going to do well, is the reason why they canceled several anime related games to recoup losses?
Yep. And Dragon Age will fail. Woke of Yotei will fail. They can just keep on making garbage, and people will just keep on saving money. We have had good games. Black Myth Wukong, Space Marines 2. Lollipop Chainsaw. Stellar Blade. $ decent games. Thats enough un til the next good game.
There's a big difference between good propaganda and bad propaganda. Cindy in Final Fantasy 15 is good propaganda. Concord characters from Concord are bad propaganda. SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
I’m disappointed BioWare became a victim to forced DEI and affirmative action. It’s ridiculous seeing great game series are falling victim to this stuff
The union asking for more money at this point, when they are not producing any revenue, losing money, and basically producing shitty games. People disconnected from reality. Rest in peace, Ubisoft.
God it's just getting more and more depressing. Solas's storyline had so much potential, the whole Thedas lore had so much potential. But no, let's just kill the series with a woke game, where the main focus is not on the story and not on the lore, but on pushing agenda down our throats.
Ubisoft is angry that people won't buy their games? It's so easy. Listen to your audience and make games for the audience, not for your activist employees.
Speaking of carrier pigeons, my co-worker is keeping and training carrier pigeons as a side-gig. Apparently sometimes he ships them off a few times a year to several countries away (as part of a contest with cash prizes) to see how many return home.
6:26 some catholics were not very pleased with how the church or its historical figures were portrayed in AC 2/Brotherhood. It's no secret that the catholic church was involved in these witch trials. They'd better be sensitive enough to learn from AC Shadow. Christians are portrayed in a bad light, especially here in Canada, thanks to JT’s claim. 50 churches were vandalized or burned for no reason, anyone remember that?
Christians are prosecuted in many ways less or more brutal in the west. You can be attacked just for wearing a cross ....Remember olympic and mockery of christianity with many demonic simbolism?
Women do believe in witchcraft though. Just search for "witchtok". Is it so hard to believe there was witches in the old days committing heinous crimes?
Since Ubisoft became corrupt everyone within their circle knew what was up. Their employees didn’t want to protest against their bosses screwing over people with micro-transactions. But since they have to go to work physically, now they have a change of heart 😂😂
You nailed it. Most Greywardens are on borrowed time and they know it. That's what gives their actions more meaning behind them and brings with it respect. Someone who hasn't even performed the ritual has no real skin in the game. They haven't sacrificed anything.
The absolute spitting upon the lore is shameful. But yeah clearly the confusing black elf changed his profile to #istandforgreywardens that might as well make him the Grey Warden Commander. I mean that's peak caring come on.
Wasn't it axactly the same situation with Blackwall in Inquisition? Are they going to pull the same card twice, but this time with the black elf, which on itself is just mind boggling.
@@wanderer2925 worse, blackwall was pretending to be a dead greywarden. So at least he had the credibility of a dead man. This dude just straight up isn't even a full warden lol.
I never understand the "forced DEI diversity". Games naturally become diverse and people love when it fits. Look at Mass Effect games, all kinds of different culture aliens coming together, getting united and becoming comrades. Same with Dragon Age, the characters were sooo good. All different and unique, nobody cared what race they were, what sexual preference they had. They were just well written. Now its like " X character has to be a queer, gay lesbian, nonbinary spaceship , that has nothing interesting about themself, other than mention it every 2 sentences. " Just fucking design a character and if they happen to fit to be lesbian or gay, who gives a fuck. Aslong as they are interesting....
Because "forced DEI diversity" isn't about bringing all peoples together it's about creating divisory groups, black vs white, trans vs women, Christians vs Rome, red vs blue. Divide and Conquer to keep those on top - on top (it doesn't matter who's arguing with whom about what, just that they are so they ignore those fleecing the rest of humanity)... Can you imagine when the powers that be suddenly say, 'Oh, we can't give you testorone / oestrogen for free anymore, you'll need to pay X amount to continue pretending to be the other sex or something inbetween.' Gonna be a lot of people hurting! I'm black, gay and pro choice btw but the Woke movement is a glorious lie to create a divided society...
The Almighty Loli made a excellent video on Sweet Baby inc. explaining their BS and the main reason why a lot of companies have enforced DEI. To put it plainly, they are trying to secure funding from investors by displaying DEI values in their company but it damages their reputation and products as a result.
@@ythandlename It was something that I assume looked good 'on paper' but in reality tends to lead to a sharp decrease in quality and interest. That a lot of the people in charge nowadays seem to be overly entitled children with little to no impulse control or understanding of professionalism hasn't exactly helped. You attack your audience like this 30 years ago, well congratulations on your severance check dont exect to work in the industry any more.
5:55 It's kind of ironic, considering during the real Salem witch trials. Most of the villains getting the so-called witches burned alive were, in fact, other women.
It was literally a bunch of teenage girls creating destructive Highschool drama that went too far. They pulled theatrics in a courtroom just to get at each other over the pettiest of matters. If anything, the Salem Witch Trials just shows how extremely petty, nasty, manipulative, and destructive teenage girls can be.
Watch the videos with the Japanese historian girl breaking it down and almost everything is wrong in the game for the period. Also she is confused why all the buildings and rice fields are wrong and placed wrong. Basically the environments in the game are all wrong.
@@SoSezTheDude pretty sure this channel is what they're refering to. Anything on Shadows in their channel is gold. It's maybe 4 videos in total www.youtube.com/@DashBlue
I love how Endymion is talking about lore like these studios give a flying fuck about lore when it comes to pushing the agenda lol. Bro they will disconnect, bend, break, and even burn lore if it means pushing their agenda.
@ And it got even worse with Andromeda. Look at the people they hire though. They prioritize checking boxes over talent. And those people being hired care more about pushing an agenda over making good games with an interesting story and characters. When you hire incompetent people, you’re not gonna get a good game. And according to what I’ve heard, this game can’t even hit 30fps consistently on Xbox, so it doesn’t even run well, so they’ve failed at every level with this game. People can have whatever beliefs they want, political or otherwise, but when you hire for arbitrary reasons instead of merit, you’re not going to get anything except a trash product.
Good devs can work from home without management looking over their shoulder. But we all know by now that Ubisoft haven't been hiring devs on how good they are at the job.
Working from home is not a good thing. These devs are phoning it in and not really collaborating as a dev team on these projects. There is no passion. This is not how the amazing games we know and love were made.
@@DogWater-Alchemy i think it's more about communication and collaboration. Especially with something as collaborative as game development where the entire studio is working towards the same goal and each are making individual parts of one product that requires a very high level of cohesion. I can see remote work being a real detriment a game studio's efficiency.
It saddens me to see so many games that have come out that fail due to bad decisions. It doesn't look like gaming companies are just not getting the memo. Please stop already with the garbage agenda pushing.
See an AC during the Salem Witch Trials sounds amazing when you know the history of it or enjoyed the Crucible .... But only focusing on the female only side when males were also tried and tortured for being witches is a hellish mistake, Rip Ubi, i wouldn't even buy the Etzio or original remakes new at this point Veilguard immediately bombards you with Nonebinary and removal of Pronouns.... But locks certain romance options behind your character gender and the Male has less romantical options. DID NO ONE ON THE WRITING TEAM PROOF READ THIS SHIT OR THE STORY BEATS!?
The entire situation reeks of malicious intent for profit somehow. There HAS to be some espionage/con-artist scheme to make money off these dialing companies. Like a boxer throwing a fight almost. Someone is making BANK off of intentionally tanking these companies. Perhaps I need this narrative cuz the idea these shit ass games truly are the best these narcissistic sodomites could actually muster covering their skills and how strongly they believe the woke bullshit, that’s just too demoralizing that society has descended this far.
Not to mention, nobody wants to play a big muscle mommy without the big boobs to match. They made the player options so narrow and niche, even by LGBTQ standards. Nobody likes the new Dragon Age.
Writing team? No. But the woke consultants definitely put their hands on the entire thing. I hope the ESG credits are worth, because this thing is gonna fail.
@@lukdb it had to be, cause no one who worked on previous Dragon Ages would blatantly just throw away established lore or just make the characters just bland "Hey we're XYZ and that's it" types. Origins was so fun and you had potential romances for same sex characters, but it was something you had to learn/earn by getting to know their characters not an immediate middle finger to the face
These strikers are done. Let's not forget that Disney set a precedent when buying Lucasfilm of not honoring existing contracts. Once Tencent buys Ubiturd, expect ALL of these strikers to be jobless. Tencent's statement will probably be the same as Disney's: "We bought the company, we didn't buy their obligations." P.S.: I re-downloaded my entire AC library in anticipation of those games being removed before they release the remakes and will keep them offline on a separate folder so that they don't get "updated" (i.e. erased) Like what happened with The Crew. DO EEET!
Only game devs could make me hope for more Chinese involvement, though they tend to sponsor activists because they recognise the left as a cancer they can exploit.
@jorelplay8738 Yes, I'm aware. But you can play all the AC games offline. There's no guarantee they won't remove the AC games since they removed The Crew in order to push their "new" Crew Collection bundle. The Crew still exists, but they want to force us to buy it again.
People just need to say non-conforming. Getting into "gender" is gonna always be a touchy subject publicly because a lot of people think its making a mountain out of a molehill.
Not to be a ist or phobe I get being gay, trans or bi, pan but nonbinary just doesn't make sense to me. Why do you need a label for acting a certain way you can say I'm a dude or a girl and just do things your gender generally doesn't. I just don't get it unless you are trying to get a job I guess lol if you are a man.
And Sten questioning how you can be a woman and a warrior if you're a female warden. And how a farmer can't become a merchant. Inquisition's nonsense about the Qun accepting trans people was so nonsensical. After all if that's all it took Isabela should have just said she identifies as male and thus avoid all the torture and abuse she suffered at their hands.
Sure ok how about this, if the game makes a decent profit your salaries can be increased by the same percentage however if the game failes to make one it will be reduced by the same amount
Hexe could work with a simple 180 switch… have us HUNTING witches during the trials. Determining which woman is innocent and who’s into witchcraft or not You could have witch camps to hunt, people who go to them to track, mysteries as to who to trust, etc Hell, the female witch could even be a bonus character after beating the game
If a company like Meta is buying or selling my data I would really like to see them have to issue a receipt. They should have to tell you who they sold your data to, what data they sold and how much they got for it. There doesn't need to be anything paid to the individual if they are getting some kind of service like Facebook, but they should be aware of what they are "paying" for the service.
Best way to do that is have your name misspelled or something like that so that when you get ads or anything like that you can check for the error and know who sold to whom. I don't think anyones made a list for such things though because eventually they'll probably sell to everyone directly or it gets resold by the ones who bought
Why do I need to decide on my sexual orientation in the beginning and thereby limit my choices later in the game??? They claim diversity and equity but try to restrict their players by putting arbitrary labels on them.
I'll be blunt on this matter, Bioware has continually lied in their promotional material for ages now. So this is nothing new to me, Inquisition, the box art and even the alpha gameplay they showed months before release showcased a completely different type of story direction. Just now their lies are finally catching up to them, and EA's marketing machine won't help them sell a shitty product. Just look at Andromeda and Anthem as recent examples.
I get this video is a public service, but I still have to ask, what was there to expose? One quick glance at that ridiculous veiguard trailer told us everything we needed to know about the game, and the company. It's the same old BS. Just remember to never give money to people who hate you, I couldn't care less about "muh gameplay", your money is funding their infiltration. Go play something else, it's current year, there are no excuses.
If Ubisoft wants to make money, forcing people into the office isn't the answer. We all here know what they need to do if they want to become profitable.
i work in the gaming industry since 2015 and I ve seen how bad it has gone since we WFH. especially in the QA Field. people are fucking lay z and not motivated and it impact greatly the quality output of the games.
I would like to remind people that Qunari actually have a term for Women who want to join the military or do what is considered a "man job" to them, they are called: Aqun-Athlok. So the fact that she calls herself a Non-Binary They/Them is even more stupid because there's literally something in the dragon age lore about it.
I personally think this move to remove remote work is actually a way to quietly lay off people. Because when a company lays people off this can affect their stock and their reputation but by trying to force only in office work they will have people quit thus allowing them to have the same affect as a lay off without having a lay off.
Tbh it's pathetic modern devs can't even show up to the office 3 days a week to collaborate on a project. Doing it all remote from home is simply not the same and will not have the same level of passion or effort, as well as less synchronization between coders/devs on the various parts of the game
Its baffling to see the state of dragon age story.. in the first game, only 2 grey wardens managed to unite the entire country of ferelden against a blight and killed the archdemon by leading 5 armies.. just 2.. the player and alistair.. and now they are so pathetic, they are being bossed around by a grey warden that has not even undergone training.. i will not recommend anyone waste their time with this crap..
This strike against a company that's literally burning down is not going to end well for the developers. Now, I'm deathly curious about what that play tester saw that made their experience so awful. Was it a subjective interpretation or just objectively awful.
If you see someone approaching your marketing team to try and blackmail them into hiring an unqualified consulting company, ask the head of your marketing team if they don't want the company to make money and reference all the games that have used these consulting companies, while making sure to mark the dev studios that have died for hiring these consulting companies. And if the consulting company does get hired anyways, make sure you have it written in the contract that they don't get paid until the game sees actual profit.
Bioware has been dead for years. Everyone with eve a smidge of talent already left and all that remains are janitors, interns, coffee makers and wothless managers.
It's easy to believe that source, Bioware has already once meddled with Qunari lore in Inquisition where it's suddenly claimed that Qunari culture is all about "equality". Those of us who paid attention know that Bioware has been woke before the word even existed.
Dont we hear about this from Iron Bull? The Qunari spy that will betray you in the last expansion if you dont meet the friendship threshold? Everything we hear about the Qunari makes it seem like someone trying to hype up how great communism is. I honestly cant tell if the writers for Inquisition, or the players, see the Qun as a good thing unironically.
The Qunari have always been Bioware's bizarre virtue signalling device for -insert culture or ideology they want to praise here-. In DA2 they were a very obvious analogy to Muslims due to the state of the western world at the time. Pushback against "Islamophobia" and "Xenophobia" in general was the political topic of the year and the MSM were hard pushing like it was the single most important problem America would ever face. Hense why Hawke's dialogue towards them was so soft and respectful even when they were burning down a fucking city and enacting the genocide of untold thousands of innocents.
Too bad about dragon age I wanted it to be good & dark & gritty but we get this pile of woke shit I WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANY THING WOKE NEVER BOW TO THE WOKE Keep up the good work mate , another great video
As a massive Dragon Age fan also, I cancelled my pre-order until I see the game play and reviews on YT. The Elves fell from infighting. The Tevinter Imperium hadn't done anything, but made a story up as if they "Came, Saw and conquered". You find this out in temple in DA:I. You have the option to side with the Elves and their leader tells you this information. Dorian later in a cut scene before he say's he has to go back home to change the Imperium from within, can't believe it's been built up on a lie.
Ubisoft just needs to wait about 3 days, then just let everyone who strikes go. Tell them sorry because of our recent performance we have to down size the company. We respect you for being willing to volunteering to leave first.
Being a Grey Warden recruit means they never took on the joining. They really can't call themselves Grey Warden till they do the joining. So if there will be an Archdemon he can't be the one to kill it. Cuz he's a recruit that has not taken on the joining.
Romance was annoying enough in Inquisition, and that was a game I really wanted to like, but couldn't get past the fact that every character was throwing himself at you if you were trying to be friendly to your whole group. The sad part is the ability to stop all that nonsense before the game even begins actually appeals to me, but not to the point I'd put up with pronouns and crap.
If companies would just look at the lgb stuff as market saturation instead of normal social things, they would have in games. They will see the market is vastly over saturated with it and it needs to dry out for 5-10 years.
On the contrary, the LGBTQ at large want more games like Baulder's Gate 3, where anyone is romantically persuable regardless of their gender. Largely why they also enjoyed games like Inquisition and Skyrim. While it might first seem like they are trying to appeal to them with the Veilguard, locking each character behind their preferred sexualities is a major downside. Furthermore the erasure of females for trans male and female representation is also a huge factor that has the LGB side of the whole up in arms against the TQ.
I'm not buying this game unless I see a complete turnaround on release. Everything I've heard/ seen from this game so far takes a steaming dump on the gem that was Origins. And to say I'm disappointed as one of the primary consumers of this form of video game, is an understatement. This is just sad.
YOU ARE 100% about home office. The studies are out and employees put in 10% to 20% less work. You have opinion, I have facts. There a lot of reasons for it. The biggest is too many spend too much time of social media.
There is a woman I know who had work from home. She told me she loved it because she could get up, "go to work" then while "working" take her kids to school and on the way home stop by starbucks and get herself what she wanted. Never told anyone she wasn't at "work." Didn't use PTO or any other time. AND she didn't understand, when I told her, how that was time fraud. She was so mad when she had to go back that she quit and took a work from home job that paid less. Then got fired from it because they actually monitored her work and saw what she was doing. She earned everything she got.
@@mywifesboyfriend5558 proud centrist here. Project 2025 is downright sickening, and goes way too far with its plans. There's stuff I there that I agree with, but also a lot of things that are going to absolutely destroy the people I love. And I'm canadian.
@@notthething9531 definitely not. When I say cyberpunk I mean a very rough iteration like where it’s less of amazing technology and more about gritty city scape with a futuristic aesthetic. Comparing watch dogs and assassins creed to each other is wack.
it is not about communication, it is about lazy employees taking advantage of working at home. Many employees are worth giving the freedom to work at home, but most are not. And it should be clear by now that most software companies are full of terribly incompetent designers and programmers.
I watch/listen to your videos while washing dishes, cleaning gpus and building gaming rigs. Never been so productive. So many content of yours, and enlightment. Thank you, fella :)
This is the path Ubisoft and others are on .. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but 11th Hour Games, makers of Last Epoch is a fully remote work studio. Not supporting remote working in this day and age is bonkers. Even Amazon forced all their remote workers back into the office or face termination.
Solas is probably not the main villain because they are hoping to make another trilogy and he's too important to just be the villain in the first game of that trilogy. Now if only they will actually be able to make anything after Veilguard is a different matter.

the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... repeatedly trying to force the market to accept dei slop is basically textbook insanity atp
@@furnfurn6314They treat making video games like they are manufacturing narcotics.

That is just like companies cutting their games with DEI. You get less game for your money and it is bulked out with ideology.
Gamers aren’t addicts, and we can just play old games that were higher quality.

Hate to be a "um, actualy" guy on Dragon Age lore, but for thouse who do not know:
Gray Wardens are the only living creatures that can destroy archdemon for good is because in the initiation ritual they drink archdemon blood. Most die, but thouse who dont are now immune to corruption. And when gray warden kills archdemon, its soul then travels into gray warden instead of other dark spawn for resurrection. But because gray wardens have soul of their own, unlike dark spawn, archdemon and gray warden are both destroyed.
And no, gray wardens do not become dark spawn themselfs with time. They eather simply dying from their body no longer been capable of withstanding the taint or they go into deep road to die in battle with dark spawns there.
I hope everyone who plays dragon age knows that. But at this point… :(
Most western game development is an echo-chamber of identity politics and I hate it.
Thanks for destroying CDPR woke propaganda. It's a shame that they try to hide and destroy their Polish roots which they had embraced the most in their Witcher series (It was them who made them that slavic, not Sapkowski).
It's because Poland is very anti-woke, along with Hungary. So these woke losers try to distance themselves to appeal to the loud minority
the studio had massive talent but as many studios do, they got mismanaged and burned like light pulps. cyberpunk in particular was given poor instructions and drove a lot of talent away. The red engine could easily keep up with UE5 and deliver better performance, dropping it is just a huge waste.

It’s insane man
I dunno, winning would be seeing studios at least trying to course correct as much as they can considering these are years, even decade long projects... But instead it feels like they're doubling down. The only win is when those projects find no audience, but even then it's just a bittersweet victory, because at the end of the day, when a game or an IP is killed by activists, everybody loses...
@@GastNdorf perhaps, but it will be a comforting feeling knowing those activists will be SCORNED by the gaming community to the point where their messages will be ignored.

I'm actually mad that BG3 let's you romance everyone. I want to be able to be best bros with Gale, but whenever I'm nice to him he looks up lovingly at me and I have to be like "Calm the f**k down, bro!" But no, modern games would never know how to write two straight men having a solid friendship
Couldn't agree more. It also makes all characters more shallow, like they don't have any tastes or preferences.
I still can't believe some people claim BG3 not to be woke, just because it's not a bad game. They just buried the spoiled meat under a lot of tasty spices, so it'll go down easier.
Yep. Romance is the major falling point of BG3's otherwise largely fantastic writing. You CAN have "friendship" with each character but the game stupidly defaults to romantic intentions, to the point that the only way to get them to back off is to trigger the romantic sequence and then reject their enthusiasm wholeheartedly like a douchebag.
It feels so unnatural and uncanny, and it makes me think Wizards had a hand in mandating it be that way because it WASN'T that way in Divinity: Original Sin 2, which also had romance, both gay and straight. You had to go out of your way to initiate the romantic dialogue and the game made it clear that was your intention.
To think, back in ye olden days when I played DA2, I thought it was so stupid that they put the little romance heart on certain dialogue choices to ensure you knew you were going down that route. Now, BG3 has proven that's apparently a necessity if your writers don't know how natural romance works (which the DA2 writers clearly didn't either).
I remember when I was playing it and trying to romance Shadow heart then randomly at night Karlach came over to my character and said they wanted to bang me despite barely interacting with her in that playthrough. I feel like the game could have 100% used much better conformation system instead of characters having telltale 'so and so liked that' which leads to them wanting to fuck you regardless if your characters talked to them or not
I'm honestly baffled by how people praised BG3 a lot for being woke (or rather, "totally indiscriminate") with regards to the romance aspect, but I guess it's just people who really don't like being shoehorned into specific choices with that portion of a game just because of their own character's aspects (like with DA Wokeguard). As far as I knew the old Baldur's Gate games, it's not like the romance was the biggest aspect of it, as opposed to just the freedom of approach in gameplay. Heck, I highly doubt a large percentage of modern BG3 players actually even played the older games considering the age of the older titles.
Idk man, Cyberpunk wrote Jackie Wells pretty good imo

Starting to go back to older games. modern games are corporatized, monetized, politicized, and literally GAY! Very few gems coming out now…
I never understand the "forced DEI diversity". Games naturally become diverse and people love when it fits. Look at Mass Effect games, all kinds of different culture aliens coming together, getting united and becoming comrades. Same with Dragon Age, the characters were sooo good. All different and unique, nobody cared what race they were, what sexual preference they had. They were just well written. Now its like " X character has to be a queer, gay lesbian, nonbinary spaceship , that has nothing interesting about themself, other than mention it every 2 sentences. " Just fucking design a character and if they happen to fit to be lesbian or gay, who gives a fuck. Aslong as they are interesting....
Because "forced DEI diversity" isn't about bringing all peoples together it's about creating divisory groups, black vs white, trans vs women, Christians vs Rome, red vs blue. Divide and Conquer to keep those on top - on top (it doesn't matter who's arguing with whom about what, just that they are so they ignore those fleecing the rest of humanity)... Can you imagine when the powers that be suddenly say, 'Oh, we can't give you testorone / oestrogen for free anymore, you'll need to pay X amount to continue pretending to be the other sex or something inbetween.' Gonna be a lot of people hurting! I'm black, gay and pro choice btw but the Woke movement is a glorious lie to create a divided society...
Think of it as a religion with fanatic followers and it makes sense.
The Almighty Loli made a excellent video on Sweet Baby inc. explaining their BS and the main reason why a lot of companies have enforced DEI. To put it plainly, they are trying to secure funding from investors by displaying DEI values in their company but it damages their reputation and products as a result.

@ And it got even worse with Andromeda.
Look at the people they hire though. They prioritize checking boxes over talent. And those people being hired care more about pushing an agenda over making good games with an interesting story and characters. When you hire incompetent people, you’re not gonna get a good game. And according to what I’ve heard, this game can’t even hit 30fps consistently on Xbox, so it doesn’t even run well, so they’ve failed at every level with this game.
People can have whatever beliefs they want, political or otherwise, but when you hire for arbitrary reasons instead of merit, you’re not going to get anything except a trash product.
Asking for a raise and making demands as your company folds in half is hilarious
Like demanding more variety on the breakfast menu in the dining room as the Titanic is sinking.
Good devs can work from home without management looking over their shoulder. But we all know by now that Ubisoft haven't been hiring devs on how good they are at the job.
This is the problem. They have a staff full of activists. You can't ask anything but the bare minimum from them.
Working from home is not a good thing. These devs are phoning it in and not really collaborating as a dev team on these projects. There is no passion. This is not how the amazing games we know and love were made.
Working from home is bullshit. Take your lazy ass to the office.
I’ve noticed people normally do their best work from home. My job has gotten rid of remote work… i actually hate it
@@DogWater-Alchemy i think it's more about communication and collaboration. Especially with something as collaborative as game development where the entire studio is working towards the same goal and each are making individual parts of one product that requires a very high level of cohesion. I can see remote work being a real detriment a game studio's efficiency.
Time to play the back catalogue of games, don’t support tourists destroying your games.
It saddens me to see so many games that have come out that fail due to bad decisions. It doesn't look like gaming companies are just not getting the memo. Please stop already with the garbage agenda pushing.
Ubisoft is just a sinking ship at this point
See an AC during the Salem Witch Trials sounds amazing when you know the history of it or enjoyed the Crucible .... But only focusing on the female only side when males were also tried and tortured for being witches is a hellish mistake, Rip Ubi, i wouldn't even buy the Etzio or original remakes new at this point
Veilguard immediately bombards you with Nonebinary and removal of Pronouns.... But locks certain romance options behind your character gender and the Male has less romantical options. DID NO ONE ON THE WRITING TEAM PROOF READ THIS SHIT OR THE STORY BEATS!?
The entire situation reeks of malicious intent for profit somehow. There HAS to be some espionage/con-artist scheme to make money off these dialing companies. Like a boxer throwing a fight almost. Someone is making BANK off of intentionally tanking these companies.
Perhaps I need this narrative cuz the idea these shit ass games truly are the best these narcissistic sodomites could actually muster covering their skills and how strongly they believe the woke bullshit, that’s just too demoralizing that society has descended this far.
Not to mention, nobody wants to play a big muscle mommy without the big boobs to match. They made the player options so narrow and niche, even by LGBTQ standards. Nobody likes the new Dragon Age.
They didn't know that the majority of gamers are straight men.
Writing team? No. But the woke consultants definitely put their hands on the entire thing.
I hope the ESG credits are worth, because this thing is gonna fail.
@@lukdb it had to be, cause no one who worked on previous Dragon Ages would blatantly just throw away established lore or just make the characters just bland "Hey we're XYZ and that's it" types. Origins was so fun and you had potential romances for same sex characters, but it was something you had to learn/earn by getting to know their characters not an immediate middle finger to the face

P.S.: I re-downloaded my entire AC library in anticipation of those games being removed before they release the remakes and will keep them offline on a separate folder so that they don't get "updated" (i.e. erased) Like what happened with The Crew. DO EEET!

@jorelplay8738 Yes, I'm aware. But you can play all the AC games offline. There's no guarantee they won't remove the AC games since they removed The Crew in order to push their "new" Crew Collection bundle.

Not to be a ist or phobe I get being gay, trans or bi, pan but nonbinary just doesn't make sense to me. Why do you need a label for acting a certain way you can say I'm a dude or a girl and just do things your gender generally doesn't.

I remember Sten telling Leliana: Why would our women wish to be men?
And Sten questioning how you can be a woman and a warrior if you're a female warden. And how a farmer can't become a merchant. Inquisition's nonsense about the Qun accepting trans people was so nonsensical. After all if that's all it took Isabela should have just said she identifies as male and thus avoid all the torture and abuse she suffered at their hands.
Probably there are completely different people making the new DA game, and they didn't bother to read the lore or anything.
@@bengonzales1182 Well the devs didn't know who Zevran is so that seems accurate.

If a company like Meta is buying or selling my data I would really like to see them have to issue a receipt. They should have to tell you who they sold your data to, what data they sold and how much they got for it. There doesn't need to be anything paid to the individual if they are getting some kind of service like Facebook, but they should be aware of what they are "paying" for the service.
Best way to do that is have your name misspelled or something like that so that when you get ads or anything like that you can check for the error and know who sold to whom. I don't think anyones made a list for such things though because eventually they'll probably sell to everyone directly or it gets resold by the ones who bought

Face it, you're either man or woman
That's because "diversity" has always been a lie.
I'll be blunt on this matter, Bioware has continually lied in their promotional material for ages now. So this is nothing new to me, Inquisition, the box art and even the alpha gameplay they showed months before release showcased a completely different type of story direction.
Just now their lies are finally catching up to them, and EA's marketing machine won't help them sell a shitty product. Just look at Andromeda and Anthem as recent examples.
Is there a video that documents this version of Inquisition
I get this video is a public service, but I still have to ask, what was there to expose? One quick glance at that ridiculous veiguard trailer told us everything we needed to know about the game, and the company.
It's the same old BS.
Just remember to never give money to people who hate you, I couldn't care less about "muh gameplay", your money is funding their infiltration. Go play something else, it's current year, there are no excuses.
True that. It's noticeable at a glance, I could give a shit less about "muh gameplay" and if it's good or not.
If Ubisoft wants to make money, forcing people into the office isn't the answer. We all here know what they need to do if they want to become profitable.
i work in the gaming industry since 2015 and I ve seen how bad it has gone since we WFH. especially in the QA Field. people are fucking lay z and not motivated and it impact greatly the quality output of the games.
I would like to remind people that Qunari actually have a term for Women who want to join the military or do what is considered a "man job" to them, they are called: Aqun-Athlok.
So the fact that she calls herself a Non-Binary They/Them is even more stupid because there's literally something in the dragon age lore about it.
I personally think this move to remove remote work is actually a way to quietly lay off people. Because when a company lays people off this can affect their stock and their reputation but by trying to force only in office work they will have people quit thus allowing them to have the same affect as a lay off without having a lay off.
Tbh it's pathetic modern devs can't even show up to the office 3 days a week to collaborate on a project. Doing it all remote from home is simply not the same and will not have the same level of passion or effort, as well as less synchronization between coders/devs on the various parts of the game
It also makes it easier to detect the people leaking information and those who aren’t loyal to their cause. This is a witch hunt
God... I hope people don't buy this slop... They need to learn who the fuckin boss is here
Its baffling to see the state of dragon age story.. in the first game, only 2 grey wardens managed to unite the entire country of ferelden against a blight and killed the archdemon by leading 5 armies.. just 2.. the player and alistair.. and now they are so pathetic, they are being bossed around by a grey warden that has not even undergone training.. i will not recommend anyone waste their time with this crap..

If you see someone approaching your marketing team to try and blackmail them into hiring an unqualified consulting company, ask the head of your marketing team if they don't want the company to make money and reference all the games that have used these consulting companies, while making sure to mark the dev studios that have died for hiring these consulting companies. And if the consulting company does get hired anyways, make sure you have it written in the contract that they don't get paid until the game sees actual profit.

It's easy to believe that source, Bioware has already once meddled with Qunari lore in Inquisition where it's suddenly claimed that Qunari culture is all about "equality".
Those of us who paid attention know that Bioware has been woke before the word even existed.
Dont we hear about this from Iron Bull? The Qunari spy that will betray you in the last expansion if you dont meet the friendship threshold? Everything we hear about the Qunari makes it seem like someone trying to hype up how great communism is. I honestly cant tell if the writers for Inquisition, or the players, see the Qun as a good thing unironically.
The Qunari have always been Bioware's bizarre virtue signalling device for -insert culture or ideology they want to praise here-. In DA2 they were a very obvious analogy to Muslims due to the state of the western world at the time. Pushback against "Islamophobia" and "Xenophobia" in general was the political topic of the year and the MSM were hard pushing like it was the single most important problem America would ever face.
Hense why Hawke's dialogue towards them was so soft and respectful even when they were burning down a fucking city and enacting the genocide of untold thousands of innocents.
This has to do with Whistleblowers and leaks, I'm sure. Having everyone at the office makes it easier to keep track of information.
Yeah it's sad modern devs can't even show up part time to collaborate on a project
I love all the old dragon age games so much. This one really hurts, bro... These people need to be stopped.
Yeah
Too bad about dragon age
I wanted it to be good & dark & gritty but we get this pile of woke shit
I WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANY THING WOKE
NEVER BOW TO THE WOKE
Keep up the good work mate , another great video
"Remember when you were happy as a kid?" - yes, yes I do 😢
As a massive Dragon Age fan also, I cancelled my pre-order until I see the game play and reviews on YT. The Elves fell from infighting. The Tevinter Imperium hadn't done anything, but made a story up as if they "Came, Saw and conquered". You find this out in temple in DA:I. You have the option to side with the Elves and their leader tells you this information. Dorian later in a cut scene before he say's he has to go back home to change the Imperium from within, can't believe it's been built up on a lie.
Ubisoft just needs to wait about 3 days, then just let everyone who strikes go. Tell them sorry because of our recent performance we have to down size the company. We respect you for being willing to volunteering to leave first.
Being a Grey Warden recruit means they never took on the joining. They really can't call themselves Grey Warden till they do the joining. So if there will be an Archdemon he can't be the one to kill it. Cuz he's a recruit that has not taken on the joining.
Just wait for the Grey Warden recruit to 'magically' be able to sense Darkspawn dispite never having undergone the ritual
I like to think he's a blackwall but not a badass and if the archdemon actually is a thing another greywarden gets the final blow
Romance was annoying enough in Inquisition, and that was a game I really wanted to like, but couldn't get past the fact that every character was throwing himself at you if you were trying to be friendly to your whole group.
The sad part is the ability to stop all that nonsense before the game even begins actually appeals to me, but not to the point I'd put up with pronouns and crap.
If companies would just look at the lgb stuff as market saturation instead of normal social things, they would have in games. They will see the market is vastly over saturated with it and it needs to dry out for 5-10 years.
On the contrary, the LGBTQ at large want more games like Baulder's Gate 3, where anyone is romantically persuable regardless of their gender. Largely why they also enjoyed games like Inquisition and Skyrim. While it might first seem like they are trying to appeal to them with the Veilguard, locking each character behind their preferred sexualities is a major downside. Furthermore the erasure of females for trans male and female representation is also a huge factor that has the LGB side of the whole up in arms against the TQ.
Key word was "talented", talented devs do not need to be watched DEI hires clearly do and their work inspected often.
Corepheus was the only good part of DA Inquisition. "Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods, and it was empty!"
I loved him as a villain, it gave me hope that we'd see the Architect again, considering their loose relationship with each other.
Inquisition felt incomplete with an overabundance of sidequests while the main story felt like it was missing a few pieces
I'm not buying this game unless I see a complete turnaround on release. Everything I've heard/ seen from this game so far takes a steaming dump on the gem that was Origins. And to say I'm disappointed as one of the primary consumers of this form of video game, is an understatement. This is just sad.
YOU ARE 100% about home office. The studies are out and employees put in 10% to 20% less work. You have opinion, I have facts. There a lot of reasons for it. The biggest is too many spend too much time of social media.
There is a woman I know who had work from home. She told me she loved it because she could get up, "go to work" then while "working" take her kids to school and on the way home stop by starbucks and get herself what she wanted. Never told anyone she wasn't at "work." Didn't use PTO or any other time. AND she didn't understand, when I told her, how that was time fraud. She was so mad when she had to go back that she quit and took a work from home job that paid less. Then got fired from it because they actually monitored her work and saw what she was doing. She earned everything she got.
There is no fence to sit on. You serve God or the Devil. You will end up in Heaven or Hell.
Tell that to libertarians or Centrists.
@@mywifesboyfriend5558 proud centrist here. Project 2025 is downright sickening, and goes way too far with its plans. There's stuff I there that I agree with, but also a lot of things that are going to absolutely destroy the people I love. And I'm canadian.
Imagine an assassins creed game set in the future in a cyberpunk setting.
That would be insane.
That would lose the identity of what ac is may as well do a new Ip.
@@Ronuk1996 not really. I mean you can have a cyberpunk setting while keeping the gameplay of classic assassins creed.
@@IamPotion isn’t that pretty much watchdogs?
@@notthething9531 definitely not. When I say cyberpunk I mean a very rough iteration like where it’s less of amazing technology and more about gritty city scape with a futuristic aesthetic.
Comparing watch dogs and assassins creed to each other is wack.
it is not about communication, it is about lazy employees taking advantage of working at home. Many employees are worth giving the freedom to work at home, but most are not. And it should be clear by now that most software companies are full of terribly incompetent designers and programmers.
I have done several quests from Tash, had three conversations in her room and she has never mentioned she is non binary. That insider lied.
I watch/listen to your videos while washing dishes, cleaning gpus and building gaming rigs. Never been so productive. So many content of yours, and enlightment. Thank you, fella :)
This is the path Ubisoft and others are on .. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but 11th Hour Games, makers of Last Epoch is a fully remote work studio. Not supporting remote working in this day and age is bonkers. Even Amazon forced all their remote workers back into the office or face termination.
Abandon these companies
"Remember when you where happy as a kid?"
Screw you, Endymion! You hit me right in the childhood!^^
Solas is probably not the main villain because they are hoping to make another trilogy and he's too important to just be the villain in the first game of that trilogy. Now if only they will actually be able to make anything after Veilguard is a different matter.
