Thank you for watching! Besides this video going live last night I alongside Grummz, Verbal Riot, KabrutusRambo & Dash talked Dragon Age for almost 3 hours. It gets unhinged near the end tho fair warning. But if you wanna see it it's in the LIVE section of my channel.

Did you see Mattys criticism of the trans / nonbinary adjacent qunari character? He did a great job criticizing the character while deflecting any woke criticism he knows he'll get for calling out the character
Forspoken's dialogues. Concord's graphics. Dustborn's preachings. Anthem's gaslighting. Suicide Squad's disrespect for the source material. No self respecting gamer would even pirate it
Game journalism in the classical sense is long dead. They have been sucking up to the studios for a long time and even if it was only to get the free review copy. I strongly believe most are fully bought by now. What a disgrace.
Thats a very American outlook im Australian and we dont really care for us you can be whatever you want but dont try to throw it in others faces because we will tell you to gfy
Unfortunately, the pedo’s and deviants pushing this narrative are free to do so under the “liberal” flag that is flown by the party. It started with the “pride” movement and then became a play for our children. No way to separate it now, and just like BioWare will tank because of this agenda, it will also be the end of the liberal party.
Right now there is so little reason to buy ANY games. There are already enough good games to keep me going for a lifetime - and they are generally cheap. Not to mention retro and emulation. And furthermore the graphical and technical improvements on new games get ever smaller - sometimes actually going in reverse. So in order to actually buy a new one it really has to earn its place - and not just assume that an existing franchise label gives it the right to get my money.
@@ManducaFlown I've yet to play Ghost of Tsushime, GoW:Ragnarok, BG3, RDR2, Elden Ring DLC, Batman: AK, Pathfinder games or Rogue Trader. So yes. I'm good for quite a while.
Thr azn lady elf ruined it. Woke games always try to add azn women to look inclusive but they are there to fulfill the developer and incel's sexual fantasy.
Yeah like said above, there's a trend of directors doing this e.g. Star Wars The Acolyte. The funny thing is we are seeing each and every project fail for following the trend of "the message". The Acolyte has been cancelled, no season 2. Concord has been sunset and studio closed. Agatha All Along is getting poor ratings and reviews and likely to follow in the Acolyte's footsteps. Lotr Rings of power is being slated all the time and the only reason it is still going is because of how much money was poured into it was absurd. I think studios will be taking a step back after all the failure and I hope they start to listen to people.
My whole immediate family, myself, my wife, and two daughters, have been playing Dragon Age since Origins came out. We have multiple playthroughs on all of them. This is such a letdown on so many levels. None of us are going to play it. We've spent countless hours talking about the lore and choices we made in the games. 10 frikkin years we waited. Damn it. The fact that they have dumbed this world down to kindergarten levels is unforgivable. F*** you bioware.
damn thats rough there Mike, but look on the bright side, it means you've got 70$ to give to more worthy games, or even help new aspiring devs get their feet making actual games for once.
Baldurs Gate 3 is the biggest RPG of the last 10 years, and imo will be for the next 10th. To imagine I paused in Act 2 to play Veilguard today just to ask for a refund in Steam after two hours.
Veilguard honestly sounds like multi-author “spicy” fanfiction at this point. It doesn’t sound like Dragon Age at all. It’s so depressing, as someone who adored Thedas and the stories I’ve found and the world state I helped create through playing the games.
@@JayRacerDA2 is on EA rushing it. Mass effect 3 saw almost every core dev jump ship mid development or shortly after release. Id say ME3 was the dying gasp of bioware for that reason
God willing Dragon Age Failguard will end up being Bioware's tombstone. Can't wait to see the epitaph on it: "Here lies Bioware... they were pretty good once upon a time"
I asked myself if I would play this game if it was $20. Nope. Waste of $20. How about for free? Not at all. Maybe for $5? Sure. Why? Because at least I'll feel _obligated_ to play since I made a financial investment, without feeling like I _wasted_ a lot of money. That's how bad the game seems, to the point where I would have to find a way to force myself to play. This is all hypothetical of course, to make a point.
@@OgSleep i would not play if bioware paid me to play i am currently replaying dragon age origins right now so i dont want the legacy of dragon ge tarnished kn my memory from playing slop like wokeguard
@ScarletEternity lol I feel u. Surprisingly tho controversial I liked Inquistion. I had a mean assassin build on there that killed all. And it felt good being the herald of Andraste. But i was def joking when I said I play it for free. Lol I'm already OgSleep I dont need to be woke up. Def not for this crap
It was the end of Bioware in 2015 when hundreds of the original devs left. This is a group that just happens to have the name "Bioware". Anyone expecting this game to be good were deluding themselves.
Skill up had brilliant metaphors. "When I give LeBron a basketball, I expect to see points on the board." "The dialogue sounds like HR is in the room the whole time."
Every clip I've sen appears to fit that description which is a shame. I hate that kinda writing. Its popping up way to often and doesn't fit Dragon Age tone at all.
@lukeluke333lukeluke it's all millennial speech to be lucky fun times, but with no antagonism. Can't be causing arguments. Gotta just make it safe for everyone whedon-isms
Halo Infinite's multiplayer storyline had this exact same toddler dialogue, where it sounded like the lead spartan was talking in some Dora the Explorer show to a bunch of kids.

@@SheepOfTheLord1 Oh, I agree. One evening with DK would be fine, but I need games with a bit more substance than that. I'm playing Planescape Torment at the moment, that writing is superb.
It’s been like this for more than two decades. I’m sure there have always been idiot lefties in games journalism, but they used to at least have some integrity. But I think the last time they had any integrity was during late ps1/N64 era and the early PS2/ game cube era. As the ps3/ Wii era started more evil leftoid activists begin to infiltrate.

@@T1l1lllj1ljlJ If so many people didn't have so many "isms" and "obias" there wouldn't be a problem. How does the game affect you when you have so many choices? Just ignore what you don't like. Simple.
@@amythompson6431 Maybe if you didn't shove you mental illness into our hobby we wouldn't have isms and obias. Gamers just wanted to be left alone. YOU came after our hobby. We fight back.
So basically a bunch of weirdos got hired and were given a lot of money and they created games for other weirdos and then they're wondering why they're not selling.
This isn’t a game made by talented creators and writers who love the craft and games. It’s made by suits, DEI initiatives, and HR guardrails. This is how you get SSS games I call them. Safe, sanitized and sensitive.
To be honest the game looks fine, but the issue is it’s not dragon age..if this where a new i.p from a new studio they would get away with it but expectations exist when your dealing with such a well known project. This is well deserved
even from a worldbuilding standpoint, it makes no sense. They have magic, yet choose to go the manual surgery route for a gender change, rather than using magic to make them full-blown their preferred gender?
Can't believe they ruined Dragon Age. So angry! This was going to be a release day purchase for me until I realised how woke and cringey it was. Just deleted it from my wishlist and never buying another BioWare game ever again.
I love how the most untalented, boring, and unoriginal people have infiltrated these positions in the gaming industry. Some touting they’ve been in the industry for years. Yet somehow still being so delusional and disconnected from the industry all at the same…
Skillup has reached 1 million views on his review. When you search for dragon age veilguard reviews on RUclips, it is way down on list. Are they trying to bury it?
I tested this out, and skill up by far has the most views of all the dragon age veilguard videos, but his is so far down the list. It definitely makes me wonder if they’re burying it
well same as every game / movie / tv show nowadays . just a brainwash instrument for children to make certain life choices created by agenda . and hey you all ate baldurs gate 3 and fallout tv show even tho its all the same .
This game is a sticker slapped onto a completely different game. In an attempt to make the game as broadly appealing as possible, catering and pandering to as many demographics as possible, it has no identity of it's own, with no heart or soul. This is tragic.
There is literally a side quest of a Qunari scolding her parents because she wants to be called THEY/THEM and she doesn’t want to follow the Qunai culture anymore. Plus they turned the Qnai people we were introduced in Dragon Age 2 as big bull looking humanoids to now just chubby short humans with horns and blueish skin lol.
@@alexandremirandarj What I don't understand... or they don't... is the reason why putting certain messages this way. Apart from Z language, that kills me, it's like making every character "human"; why couldn't Qunari just be simply uninterested about this stuff and let they're people be what they want? Better: not having a real distintion in their culture, at all. The point of Qunari is the religious convintion and their role in battle, they always seemed very neutral for the rest. Why not using a human character for this, at this point, possibly making a good work with the dialogues, like they made in DAI for the (already present) gay and trans characters? This work is simply clumsy, even if you agree with the purpose.
Dude it's even happening in books :( I read a lot and lately it feels like most fantasy books I pick up are self inserts. I just want escapism, I hate this
You do know none of us asked for this, were involved in this or consented to this, right? I'm a lot more angry about corporations shoving this fake inclusivity crap down our throats than you will ever be, whiny little toddler.
I have Steam for probably 20 years or since it has been launched. Bought hundreds of game, this has been the first game I ever refunded since I got the game. Keep in mind that I played for two hours and didn’t read any review, but I was so flabbergasted with what I was seeing that I had to check on internet what was going on.
These companies are designing games like their allergic to making money, Dragon age was a licence to print money and they still managed to fuck it up. Hopefully the fall of these huge gaming companies will give the industry Devs/shareholders a wake up call, how after 2 years of DEI flops it still continues blows my mind
not just that, its pushing the fact that "live and let live" approach is no longer an option because the tolerance is rewarded with more and more oppression ...
Same thing is happening with certain minorities too I'm afraid, as someone who's Hispanic myself. It seems like all the anti-white and race pushing is just turning people more racist, and can you really blame them when it's so omni present and constantly shoved down people's throat? I feel like a good 80% of people in commercials are black, when they only make up a small fraction of the population.
Reviews mean nothing. But I watched a bunch of videos of gameplay, and...calling it a Woke disaster is an understatement. This is indoctrination. It's pure propaganda. And it's total garbage. No quality to the gameplay whatsoever, and the dialogue is AWFUL. Beyond awful.
how is giving a few options an a couple quests mentioning queer people propaganda? you can just skip quests or dont use the few dialogue options they give, lgbt people existing and having representation doesnt opress you
@@pieronapuri5062 yes they exist...as a small minority and that is why we... normal people have to be pelted with this ideological shit from every side??? and I mean EVERY SIDE! practically every series on netflix today has to have some kind of LGBT+ relationship, almost every game created in the west has to touch on this topic, it makes people want to throw up. This is fckn too much! personally I think that the whole LGBT thing is starting to be overrepresented, really. recently I watched the anime "dragon age absolution" and guess what??? right away in the first episode we find out that the main character is a lesbian her companion is of course a black man, because after all a white guy has to be bad and that is also the case in the series - the antagonist is of course a white man. what's more her companion makes a move on a male dwarf until finally in the last episode they kiss. Wtf? there were more fucking LGBT people and relations in this series than normal people. This is insane. People just have enough of this fckn crap.
To the person questioning the propaganda line. You have to remember everyone is entitled to their opinion. This is by no means Dustborn levels of bad in this regard, but there is a clear message being said with how it's included. No one is going to argue that LGBTQ people exist and should have some rep. Though if I were them, I would be more upset that the people trying to do said representing are awful at their job. Have in the long term made more of a mockery of everyone involved. Not that a portion of the supporters are the most mentally stable in the first place. Citing the Oda confirming Yamato's gender debacle. The main issue is that these devs are clearly activists first, devs second. They don't handle these topics with the care and nuance they need, and instead pie face you with their narrative. The story is never compelling, etc. Veilguard really isn't any different as it bludgeons you over the head with this nonsense. That's of course ignoring the obvious facts that even the people it's made for don't play these games either. They are more interested in finding the next topic to complain about on Twitter. 😂
@DFMosley how many will demand refunds? How many will blacklist BioWare after this? I have. I’m even thinking of doing the same with EA as I’ve noticed that they too have gone down that road.
Almost all of the shadow dragons to start. Most of the antivan crows, the very first character you hear speak is a straight white male(varric). But remember this is also tevinter, there are more of the other races there than in the south where inquisition took place 😂
As a reminder, this is, *_"Bioware in Name Only"_* The team that used to make the older Bioware games are long gone. These new titles are to supposed to attract the, *_"Magical Modern Audience"_*
This is what happens when you have a company that would rather hire writers fresh out of the thought prison that is university instead of paying experienced folks what they are worth.
4:20 One of the other combat bugs on display since the original gameplay reveal. Poor hit detection. Others are vanishing weapons, poor aggro management by companions, etc.
You're confused my guy.. those studios are not great anymore dude.. they are woke dei infested propaganda machines.. all the respectable devs left.. these companies NEED to fail
Yeah. We need to all realize that devs aren't working for companies for 10-20 years any more. They make a great game and then use it to shop for better pay. Makes sense. Id probably do the same thing
Well, those EVIL WHITE MEN! And their GREAT GAMES, with Great Protagonist HAD TO GO, due to TO MICH REPRESENTING OF THE PPL WHO ACTUALLY PLAY GAMES! Why was NA the Biggest Market since ORIGINAL NES? The 12% BLACK COMMUNITY? The 4% ASIAN COMMUNITIES? Or maybe you think it was MEXICANOS? NOPE! From 1980-NOW! US WHITE MALE BIGOTS ARE THE LARGEST MARKET (NOT CHINESE) in the WORLD! Yet WE HAVE TO WATXH NON GAMERS, come on and make games for NON GAMERS, while BASHING THE GROUP THAT BUILT THE ENTIRE WESTERN GAME INDUSTRY!(JAPANE as well)! Until they LET THE GOOD ONES BACK IN!(YUP WHITE MEN, WE ARE JUST BETTER AT EVERYTHING, no Matter HOW HARD THEY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION MINORITY GROUPS) they still CANT COMPETE EXCEPT IN SPORTS!
It's great that they expose themselves so that the people who desperately tries to claim that woke isn't happening, and it's most definitely not a problem copes and seethes.
The most damning part of SkillUp's review is it doesn't mention the wokeness at all, even without all the political crap as a factor, it just sucks as a game, and as a dragon age game. But so many things, like you showed Darkspawn, those are NOT darkspawn. Darkspawn, especially the human ones, wear armour, use weapons, without that they're just like feral humans, these new ones look so lame.
This is quite literally the worst kind of disrespect to the customer; locking content behind ideological compliance. BioWare deserves to fail as hard as Ubisoft.
In my eyes they don't count as human anymore 😔😊. They are a failed genetics experiment. A union gone wrong and no longer useful,but somehow getting permission to bother us with bad games.
They made a huge mistake by giving a review code to SkillUp, lmao. SkillUp's review is the reason why they didn't want to give review codes for people they didn't approve of. He gave an honest review. He's probably now on Bioware's blacklist.
Look at my profile picture. Yeah... I will never purchase a Bioware product again, EVER. Would not even pirate this degenerate trash game. I truly hope they get closed down, ASAP.
(2016) News media: You're a bigot!!! Me: No i just dont want modern-day politics grammed into...... (2024) New media: You're a bigot!!! Me tired as hell: Dam straight now get this garbage out of my hobby.

That's how I feel with most of this modern audience-approved ""games"". There's no substance or fun within this games. Dialogue is totally breaking the whole fantasy setting and in games like this, the immersive dialogue. You could add the concept, sure. But you don't have to force it or make it the SOLE personality of a character. Hopefully all this companies go bankrupt and we get better companies in the future.
It makes me really sad that the entire woke culture is going over the gaming industry like a disease... we already could have got so many good games but they ruin one after the other.
"As a non-binary person myself Veilguard includes some of the most authentic representation of coming to terms with general gender stuff. And having to navigate your family’s reaction to it I’ve yet to see in a game. If we never get another Dragon Age at least it got to go out on a high note. 9/10" -IGN Now it makes more sense why it got 9/10 from ign
Has any of these people ever stopped to consider that... maybe their parents were completely right to be utterly disappointed in them? Just because other people don't accept you for who you are doesn't mean that they aren't completely right about that. Maybe, just maybe... who you are is someone that doesn't deserve respect
@@evilgibson Nothing new, but people are finally taking notice--which means it's coming to an end. Just because something 'isn't new' doesn't make it right. Slavery isn't new. Is that right and okay? Next time use your head for more than...well, I'm going to be honest: I don't think you use it all.
"a return to form". Google it how many of those 9s and 10s have this written in their review. Mostly at the same spot. Either it's AI or they have a EA approved words list
I stopped caring what game journalists say after that one guy gave Doom Eternal a bad review because he sucked at platforming. I've never played Dragon Age before but I've been meaning to get to it someday. Looks like Inquisition will be the final game for me. Great video btw, keep fighting the good fight!
It is sad. Had a slight argument with my brother over this trying to explain why I didn't want to play it and his only response was "your letting your negative outlook on life color your perspective what's wrong with a little inclusion? It's not like it affects you or is shoved in your face" 😂 can't wait to here from him November 1st
Cole wasn't a possessed corpse like Justice did with Christophe. Cole was a young mage teen brought to the Circle and then locked away and forgotten about until he starved to death, his pain attracted a Spirit of Compassion who did its best to comfort the child but in the end couldn't do anything. When Cole died the Spirit, having its purpose denied and corrupted took the image of Cole so the memory could live on. The Cole we see in Asunder and Inquisition is the Spirit itself. The Spirits of Dragon Age have always been fascinating to me and the fact that we're getting to see a Spirit of Spite in Veilguard honestly has me intrigued about one thing in the game.
I'd do, if it was modern or scifi. I repeat, the problem is not really THAT, is the way it's written and the way is not contextualized in a fantasy scenario. They did a very good work before in introducing certain themes.
It all went down exactly how we thought it would. And don't let the industry, or the simps for this game, gaslight you. This isn't 2014. We've had a decade to recognize patterns and figure out what is going on. Don't give money to people, or industries, that hate you. Let it crumble. We've got such better replacements. China, Korea, indies. I'd like to say Japan but even they are starting to show cracks with influence from the west. Never stop mocking this game and the dev. Drive them crazy, and when the game awards come, drown Keighly and his dumb show in mockery.
People should have known before 2014 because the warnings were there. People only are against it now because they realize it did go down a slippery slope and can't deny the results.
Unfortunately I wouldn't include china in that list. Tensent is one of the companies buying up shares in companies pushing them to include DEI then when the company fails will buy it up on the cheap.
While it's not all JP developers that go with the whole forced inclusion stuff, and it's something added half assedly for the West (localization basically distorting the dialogue from the original language), it has to be said most of the JP gaming industry has shown by years now their complacent outlook on their success, and decide to be lazy. Gamefreak, releasing mediocre and buggy games years after year (of the main series), yet people keep blindly buying their games and proving that "being lazy" and "cutting corners" won't matter, because it's Pokémon. Or Bamco with their awful management of their IPs and deciding to plug them off, instead of taking the L and work from there. Or straight up, not listen to the consumers and leave things as it is. Koei Tecmo with their shameless and overpriced tactics on EVERY single game they own (do not forget DoA5 full DLC is around 3-4k $... Then and now) Capcom & Square Enix certainly are at fault way more for all of this aspects above + the whole inclusion aspects. But point is, not all JP developers are in a downfall because they starting to show DEI elements; it's about other aspects, but overall, being very complacent and refusing to change formula at all or take risks.
@@blumiu2426 I noticed it in 2009 with Resident Evil 5. But it doesn't matter how far back you think people should have known. It's known now, largely in part to social media sites like Twitter.

I won't give my money to this game, but for the good reasons: the messages are good, but the script is shit. And the rest... is not a DA.

Of course I'd have to see it to confirm it, but when I heard veilguard was gonna use the fake inclusive language in its Spanish translation (like Spider-man 2 did) my heart fucking SANK I don't even care that much about Dragon Age, just stop bastardizing my mother language, PLEASE
You mean "Latinx"? It doesn't even make sense, cause when you speak Spanish, some words have different meanings depending on the version you use. The male prefix for a word could mean car, while the feminine prefix could mean bar of soap, say "x" at the end just makes you sound dumb when speaking it, and confuses actual Spanish Speakers cause its like "WTF do you mean?"
Also, the original design of the ship is what makes it important. It seems that they’ve replaced material, the crew, and the structure of original ship. A new crew could’ve made a good DA if they had stuck to the original concepts, visions, and themes.
So Skill Up and Mrmattyplays are getting attacked for being HONEST ABOUT A GAME THAT IS COMPLETELY DOG SHIT!! I hate what gaming journalist has become 😒
Hey! If I make a non binary character in Veilguard does that mean I can go through the game acting like a spoiled toddler throwing tantrums and demanding everything at all times revolve around me? And instead of being told to shut up and get back to work I'm called a victim and stunning and brave? It'd be nice to have that level of privilege even if it's only RP.

Having the woke stuff in games is technically escapism because people can’t transition between genders. So it is fantasy!

11:13 Veilguard characters are like "People larping as fantasy characters" 💯
Lets call this game what it is: A self-insert fanfiction made so that the director could role-play as themselves.
As they themselves 😂
Same thing all modern directors are doing and failing
(Sigh) Remember the days when we had people like Tim Currey and Graham McTavish voicing Arls How and Eamon?
Yeah like said above, there's a trend of directors doing this e.g. Star Wars The Acolyte. The funny thing is we are seeing each and every project fail for following the trend of "the message". The Acolyte has been cancelled, no season 2. Concord has been sunset and studio closed. Agatha All Along is getting poor ratings and reviews and likely to follow in the Acolyte's footsteps. Lotr Rings of power is being slated all the time and the only reason it is still going is because of how much money was poured into it was absurd.
I think studios will be taking a step back after all the failure and I hope they start to listen to people.
My whole immediate family, myself, my wife, and two daughters, have been playing Dragon Age since Origins came out. We have multiple playthroughs on all of them. This is such a letdown on so many levels. None of us are going to play it. We've spent countless hours talking about the lore and choices we made in the games. 10 frikkin years we waited. Damn it.
The fact that they have dumbed this world down to kindergarten levels is unforgivable. F*** you bioware.
damn thats rough there Mike, but look on the bright side, it means you've got 70$ to give to more worthy games, or even help new aspiring devs get their feet making actual games for once.
Baldurs Gate 3 is the biggest RPG of the last 10 years, and imo will be for the next 10th.
To imagine I paused in Act 2 to play Veilguard today just to ask for a refund in Steam after two hours.
Wait until they destroy mass effect again
Veilguard honestly sounds like multi-author “spicy” fanfiction at this point. It doesn’t sound like Dragon Age at all. It’s so depressing, as someone who adored Thedas and the stories I’ve found and the world state I helped create through playing the games.
The end of BioWare was years ago, this is just the burial of its rotten corpse.
The final nail in the coffin
Agreed. Everything post-ME2 has been a debacle. One could argue DA2 & ME3.
@@JayRacerDA2 is on EA rushing it. Mass effect 3 saw almost every core dev jump ship mid development or shortly after release.
Id say ME3 was the dying gasp of bioware for that reason
Andromeda was their biggest debacle
God willing Dragon Age Failguard will end up being Bioware's tombstone. Can't wait to see the epitaph on it: "Here lies Bioware... they were pretty good once upon a time"
Game is 100% skip
Just like the vast majority of the slop we get these days.
I asked myself if I would play this game if it was $20. Nope. Waste of $20. How about for free? Not at all. Maybe for $5? Sure. Why? Because at least I'll feel _obligated_ to play since I made a financial investment, without feeling like I _wasted_ a lot of money. That's how bad the game seems, to the point where I would have to find a way to force myself to play. This is all hypothetical of course, to make a point.
I would play it.... for free

It was the end of Bioware in 2015 when hundreds of the original devs left. This is a group that just happens to have the name "Bioware".
Anyone expecting this game to be good were deluding themselves.
Skill up had brilliant metaphors.
"When I give LeBron a basketball, I expect to see points on the board."
"The dialogue sounds like HR is in the room the whole time."
Every clip I've sen appears to fit that description which is a shame. I hate that kinda writing. Its popping up way to often and doesn't fit Dragon Age tone at all.
@lukeluke333lukeluke it's all millennial speech to be lucky fun times, but with no antagonism. Can't be causing arguments. Gotta just make it safe for everyone whedon-isms
Halo Infinite's multiplayer storyline had this exact same toddler dialogue, where it sounded like the lead spartan was talking in some Dora the Explorer show to a bunch of kids.

The sad part is that these metaphors are probably more witty than anything in the game... and they aren't that witty to begin with.

There is literally a side quest of a Qunari scolding her parents because she wants to be called THEY/THEM and she doesn’t want to follow the Qunai culture anymore.
Plus they turned the Qnai people we were introduced in Dragon Age 2 as big bull looking humanoids to now just chubby short humans with horns and blueish skin lol.
@@alexandremirandarj What I don't understand... or they don't... is the reason why putting certain messages this way. Apart from Z language, that kills me, it's like making every character "human"; why couldn't Qunari just be simply uninterested about this stuff and let they're people be what they want? Better: not having a real distintion in their culture, at all. The point of Qunari is the religious convintion and their role in battle, they always seemed very neutral for the rest. Why not using a human character for this, at this point, possibly making a good work with the dialogues, like they made in DAI for the (already present) gay and trans characters? This work is simply clumsy, even if you agree with the purpose.

I have Steam for probably 20 years or since it has been launched. Bought hundreds of game, this has been the first game I ever refunded since I got the game. Keep in mind that I played for two hours and didn’t read any review, but I was so flabbergasted with what I was seeing that I had to check on internet what was going on.
These companies are designing games like their allergic to making money, Dragon age was a licence to print money and they still managed to fuck it up. Hopefully the fall of these huge gaming companies will give the industry Devs/shareholders a wake up call, how after 2 years of DEI flops it still continues blows my mind
The irony of games like that are so "inclusive" is it's alienating people from accepting LGBT people. It's gonna have the opposite effect.
not just that, its pushing the fact that "live and let live" approach is no longer an option because the tolerance is rewarded with more and more oppression ...
Same thing is happening with certain minorities too I'm afraid, as someone who's Hispanic myself. It seems like all the anti-white and race pushing is just turning people more racist, and can you really blame them when it's so omni present and constantly shoved down people's throat?

But I watched a bunch of videos of gameplay, and...calling it a Woke disaster is an understatement. This is indoctrination. It's pure propaganda. And it's total garbage. No quality to the gameplay whatsoever, and the dialogue is AWFUL. Beyond awful.
Absolutely
how is giving a few options an a couple quests mentioning queer people propaganda? you can just skip quests or dont use the few dialogue options they give, lgbt people existing and having representation doesnt opress you
They have to bake it in the story
Not ramming it on dialogues
@@pieronapuri5062 yes they exist...as a small minority and that is why we... normal people have to be pelted with this ideological shit from every side??? and I mean EVERY SIDE! practically every series on netflix today has to have some kind of LGBT+ relationship, almost every game created in the west has to touch on this topic, it makes people want to throw up. This is fckn too much! personally I think that the whole LGBT thing is starting to be overrepresented, really. recently I watched the anime "dragon age absolution" and guess what??? right away in the first episode we find out that the main character is a lesbian her companion is of course a black man, because after all a white guy has to be bad and that is also the case in the series - the antagonist is of course a white man. what's more her companion makes a move on a male dwarf until finally in the last episode they kiss. Wtf? there were more fucking LGBT people and relations in this series than normal people. This is insane. People just have enough of this fckn crap.
To the person questioning the propaganda line. You have to remember everyone is entitled to their opinion. This is by no means Dustborn levels of bad in this regard, but there is a clear message being said with how it's included.
No one is going to argue that LGBTQ people exist and should have some rep. Though if I were them, I would be more upset that the people trying to do said representing are awful at their job. Have in the long term made more of a mockery of everyone involved. Not that a portion of the supporters are the most mentally stable in the first place. Citing the Oda confirming Yamato's gender debacle.
The main issue is that these devs are clearly activists first, devs second. They don't handle these topics with the care and nuance they need, and instead pie face you with their narrative. The story is never compelling, etc. Veilguard really isn't any different as it bludgeons you over the head with this nonsense.
That's of course ignoring the obvious facts that even the people it's made for don't play these games either. They are more interested in finding the next topic to complain about on Twitter. 😂
The level of industry protection over this game is amazing.
Just goes to show us how rotten and corrupt the industry is.
It's on a level with the soviet union level of control sadly so many people will fall for it

I am though. Gonna be a great time according to Metacritic scores!
@@kazokadas Cringe.
@@Logan_93 Nah. You're just being a snowflake.
@@Logan_93 don't waste your time with that dude, he doesn't even know what he is 😭🤣
Well, we called this flop way in advance
@DFMosley weak preorders for an AAA game
It is sad. Had a slight argument with my brother over this trying to explain why I didn't want to play it and his only response was "your letting your negative outlook on life color your perspective what's wrong with a little inclusion? It's not like it affects you or is shoved in your face" 😂 can't wait to here from him November 1st
@@myboicyndaquil2824oh boi he ain't hearing the end of it. Have fun roasting him. That's what brothers do anyway.
Cole wasn't a possessed corpse like Justice did with Christophe. Cole was a young mage teen brought to the Circle and then locked away and forgotten about until he starved to death, his pain attracted a Spirit of Compassion who did its best to comfort the child but in the end couldn't do anything. When Cole died the Spirit, having its purpose denied and corrupted took the image of Cole so the memory could live on. The Cole we see in Asunder and Inquisition is the Spirit itself. The Spirits of Dragon Age have always been fascinating to me and the fact that we're getting to see a Spirit of Spite in Veilguard honestly has me intrigued about one thing in the game.
On Christ I'll never spend a dime on any game that issues "alternative" pronouns to it's characters.
I'd do, if it was modern or scifi. I repeat, the problem is not really THAT, is the way it's written and the way is not contextualized in a fantasy scenario. They did a very good work before in introducing certain themes.
It all went down exactly how we thought it would. And don't let the industry, or the simps for this game, gaslight you. This isn't 2014. We've had a decade to recognize patterns and figure out what is going on. Don't give money to people, or industries, that hate you. Let it crumble. We've got such better replacements. China, Korea, indies. I'd like to say Japan but even they are starting to show cracks with influence from the west. Never stop mocking this game and the dev. Drive them crazy, and when the game awards come, drown Keighly and his dumb show in mockery.
People should have known before 2014 because the warnings were there. People only are against it now because they realize it did go down a slippery slope and can't deny the results.
Unfortunately I wouldn't include china in that list. Tensent is one of the companies buying up shares in companies pushing them to include DEI then when the company fails will buy it up on the cheap.
While it's not all JP developers that go with the whole forced inclusion stuff, and it's something added half assedly for the West (localization basically distorting the dialogue from the original language), it has to be said most of the JP gaming industry has shown by years now their complacent outlook on their success, and decide to be lazy.
Gamefreak, releasing mediocre and buggy games years after year (of the main series), yet people keep blindly buying their games and proving that "being lazy" and "cutting corners" won't matter, because it's Pokémon.
Or Bamco with their awful management of their IPs and deciding to plug them off, instead of taking the L and work from there. Or straight up, not listen to the consumers and leave things as it is.
Koei Tecmo with their shameless and overpriced tactics on EVERY single game they own (do not forget DoA5 full DLC is around 3-4k $... Then and now)
Capcom & Square Enix certainly are at fault way more for all of this aspects above + the whole inclusion aspects.
But point is, not all JP developers are in a downfall because they starting to show DEI elements; it's about other aspects, but overall, being very complacent and refusing to change formula at all or take risks.
@@FGenthusiast0052 Concise and well put.
@@blumiu2426 I noticed it in 2009 with Resident Evil 5. But it doesn't matter how far back you think people should have known. It's known now, largely in part to social media sites like Twitter.
The industry is on fire and they are trying and failing to contain it
When even Shill Up says your woke game is garbage, you know you're doing something wrong
Its a rare occurrence that skill up is one in control for once
correction when even skill up, a person who regularly posts on resetera which means he's woke as fuck couldn't even defend this game.
SkillUp pretty much destroyed this game in his review. Wow.
“On the day the oppressor bites his two hands”
No conscientious parent would show their children to be exposed to this woke trash, and no true gamer would give their money to EA / Bioware.
1) This was not supposed to be a game for children.
2) I'd do, if it was well written.
3) you don't want to be accused of boycotting the game because you're a bigot, but you write bigot stuff.
I won't give my money to this game, but for the good reasons: the messages are good, but the script is shit. And the rest... is not a DA.
Mortismal gaming called it the best DA Dude is definitely getting fat pay check from BioWare
Nah just has bad taste. Guy openly doesn’t like origins.
Mortismal is trash personified.
Lol, "guy" probably wants to keep receiving some games. And people still trust him, like slaves. Fortunately I never was a fan of him, always tried to stay neutral. But saying that this crap is the "GOTY" was the last nail on the coffin.
@@chrisspink8873 That dude literally said that Starfield was good...
@@fbi2116 I mean I like starfield, I objective feel like it’s a 6 out of 10 but I had some fun with it. I feel like you can like bad games just own that they are bad lol.
Bioware was my favorite studio.... 10-20 years ago. Nowadays tough.... Omg
Remember, whenever a video game caters to "modern audience" we know that it's directly designed for the game journalists.
BioWare needs to absolutely be shut down
nah man i want mass effect 4
@@Akirax.1s no they are gonna ruin that universe too. they have already begun
@@Akirax.1s then make it yourself. Don’t expect BioWare to do it for you. Don’t for one second believe that you’ll get a good game from these activists who should be signing on the doll!
@Akirasgf No, you don't want it, not from modern day Bioware.
It's definitely coming.
So many studios burning themselves down.
Perfectly said, Endymion!👏
I'm not buying Dragshow: The Failhard anyway.
Dragqueen the wokegaurd/failguard
I will lmao
Neither will i. I just started Skyrim again after leaving it alone for several years, and i'm having a blast with it.
@@KrakenZzz123little stick....
Of course I'd have to see it to confirm it, but when I heard veilguard was gonna use the fake inclusive language in its Spanish translation (like Spider-man 2 did) my heart fucking SANK
I don't even care that much about Dragon Age, just stop bastardizing my mother language, PLEASE
You mean "Latinx"?
It doesn't even make sense, cause when you speak Spanish, some words have different meanings depending on the version you use. The male prefix for a word could mean car, while the feminine prefix could mean bar of soap, say "x" at the end just makes you sound dumb when speaking it, and confuses actual Spanish Speakers cause its like "WTF do you mean?"
Also, the original design of the ship is what makes it important. It seems that they’ve replaced material, the crew, and the structure of original ship. A new crew could’ve made a good DA if they had stuck to the original concepts, visions, and themes.
So Skill Up and Mrmattyplays are getting attacked for being HONEST ABOUT A GAME THAT IS COMPLETELY DOG SHIT!! I hate what gaming journalist has become 😒
Modern journalists have been exposed across the board not only within games, but even real world news.
@@DiogenesTheCynic. agreed
Hey! If I make a non binary character in Veilguard does that mean I can go through the game acting like a spoiled toddler throwing tantrums and demanding everything at all times revolve around me? And instead of being told to shut up and get back to work I'm called a victim and stunning and brave? It'd be nice to have that level of privilege even if it's only RP.
Accurate AF
The scariest part of this game coming out on Halloween is the fact its the death of a great series..and the fear of what games legacy is next
