Mufasa vs Sonic 3, where Sonic 3 got theatres stolen from them and isn't international, and did twice as good as the global film that stole theatre bookings… Hogwarts Legacy, best selling game of 2023… only reason this game wasn't crushed by its own past was because no one wanted to buy the previous games again after they already owned them all for six years before Inquisition arrived on Steam. Why buy a digital version of a game you own in full on your classic 7th gen console?
I'm so proud of our fellow gamers for having the gumption to fight back against this Alphabet Cult madness. Our wallets are truly making a difference in this world. One that will spread to other industries.
Honestly I didn’t even realize it came out until recently, and most of my interest was lost after hearing the stupid design decision’s made for the game and learning they didn’t use the dragons keep for progress.
The "Alphabet Cult", as you call them, are the useful idiots of cynical and authoritarian globalist elitists. It's classic divide and rule bullshit.

If all goes well with Exodus (wizards of the coast not being involved) we wont need another Mass Effect as Exodus looks like a strong replacement from Andromeda on to whatever DEI/Woke garbage they turn the next Mass Effect into
I hope Nu Biowear survives and learns a valuable lesson! No more remakes and fraudulent sequels! More original games like Anthem! Off line Anthem would be wonderful!😊
But I thought the dude woman said they were happy for the "critical reception". I guess they realize that critical reception doesn't pay the bills or impress investors
The fact that this absolutely horrible game got such great reviews (before some of them walked it back, lol) tells you everything you need to know about "critical reception". Critics were calling it a "return to form"... I honestly don't know how they manage it with a straight face.
@@CiroccoDruid Reviewers signed something to omit the woke stuff in their reviews. They were very aware of what it would have done.

I'm an old gamer, old enough that my first console was the 16bit NES. I've been buying games long enough to remember feeling cheated when a game advertised in the NES magazine didn't live upto the hype, later on when demo discs became a thing, again I got stung when the demos were nothing like the finished product. Now that the internet age is truly here gamers have been empowered by the likes of youtube offering honest feedback and reviews from actual gamers instead of bought and paid for game's journalists. We have the power now to ''vote with our feet'', these triple A studios have lost their way! They don't make games to be fun now, they are all copy and paste formula games rammed full of political ideology. That's not what people play games for, games are a form of escapism they are supposed to be fun and enjoyable, a chance to switch off your brain and have a good time with your friends. The rubbish they churn out now is certainly not worth £60-£70 a go. I hope people refuse to buy the rubbish they are peddling and that it hits the companies hard enough to force them to change direction. We are the customers & the customers are always right.
I’m an older gamer state side. My first gaming rig was a used Magnavox odyssey from the early 1970s. I agree with you completely but I have 1 question… who are these “gaming journalists” you speak of? In all my years I’ve yet to discover a journalist, let alone the gaming variety. Now lights in the skies, even I’ve seen a few across my decades here on earth… but not an actual, bonafide journalist… rarer than Sasquatch sightings I suppose…

Okay but that would mean no scars for EVERYONE and people absolutely have scars in Dragon Age. I'm not even talking about surgery scars, I'm talking about scars from war, abuse, slavery, combat. Getting rid of scars entirely is boring and honestly bad writing. Not to mention just as people have magic, just as many are either scared of magic or despise it and wouldn't let magic touch them. I put scars on my characters face in BG3 because /everyone/ has scars, even in a magic world, and honestly I'd be pissed if devs removed the option for scars on my characters because 'magic herp derp'.

If EA were smart, they'd find non-DEI-infested studios and license Dragon Age and Mass Effect to them. Then work on cleaning up the mess they've made of their own studios.
The journalist from Fan Wire said that Black Wukong was pathetic upset over the gaming reward losing to Dragon Age. But the biggest question is how did Dragon Age get elected to be the best gaming of 2024 when most of the game got refunded and barely sold in EU.
Man at least the Andromeda team; who had no true experience outside of the ME3 multiplayer, TRIED. They attempted the best they could with that insultingly little time they had.
The only way to fix this mess is impossible for them. Apologize, De-canonize the game, and make a new non-woke DA:4 that holds true to the lore, grit, and art style of the DA universe.
Easiest solution is always the hardest for them. Because it means facing reality, admitting defeat and their "ideology" isn't as perfect as they advertised after so many double downs. Otherwise in their warped mindset, the "chuds and bigots" will have won. They're too proud to allow it. So this ludicrous and unnecessary complicated tactic it is.
Odd I put a comment here and it suddenly disappeared hmm. But to reiterate, they won't do it. Easiest thing in the world but it would mean going against their pride and they're so caught up on proving people wrong, they rather lose money then admit they can be wrong.
The first 2-3 hours of Veilguard is more of a training session and the game didn't really start until you're 3-5 hours in and I'm sure this was to stop refunds.
A summary of how BioWare lost his soul -Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk cofounders of BioWare retired from the gaming industry in 2012 -Casey Hudson Creator and director of the Mass Effect series left in 2014 (He tried to open his own studio but closed down recently due to lack of funding) -David Gainer Creator and writer of the Dragon Age series left in 2016 -James Ohlen lead designer of Baldurs Gate and DA origins left in 2018 after 22 years in the company (founded and currently working in archetype entertainment along with other veteran devs) -Drew Karpyshyn writer of Mass Effect 1 and 2 left in 2012 and returned in 2015 only to definitely leave in 2018 (currently working in archetype along Ohlen) -Mike Laidlaw Creative director of Dragon Age left in 2017 after DA4 (now the Veil Guard disaster) development was rebooted he had 14 years in the company Add the constant EA meddling and the hiring of Corpotivists, and whatever was left of old Bioware was lost after Anthem.
Well to be honest, I wouldn't praise casey hudson, since he is a person responsible for mass effect 3 color endings fiasco (which hurts for me still, yes).
Fixed this for you: -Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk cofounders of BioWare retired from the gaming industry in 2012 after selling their company to EA for $860m in 2008. That was truly the beginning of the end of Bioware.
the dev abandon gamers first, and mocking us along the way too, cheering for our distress when they successfully ruin the franchise we love and given us weird title such as incel brainwash whatever, they deserve to fail and with no sympathy
Chud money makes the gaming industry world go round. I'm too busy not liking, not buying. I'll think about it if they sell it for 5 and the entire studio and CEO pull a communal Barv. 💀
This is so funny! We all see the pattern, the only reason a game gets heavily discounted a month or two after release is if it's selling badly. "Look! We sold XXX-million copies, please don't shut us down!" "Mhm.... how many of those were sold AT A LOSS?"
What really gets me is the HUGE thick-headed stubborness of Bioware. It's actually quite incredible... But you know what they say about the tree that does not bend to the wind... It breaks.
The video seems to skirt the question why exactly is DA:V failing so I’ll say it plainly… the game is woke, infested with trans ideology screaming yelling and scolding the player at every opportunity. I’ve got a message for BioWare and the conga line of all the other noble better-than-all-human “do-gooders” past, present, and future: YOU are the supervillains of our age. Yes. It’s YOU who are the bad guys, the evildoers, the wicked and the scum of the age.
This woke agenda running through the game's industry has made discover new genres outside of my usual interests and it's been the best thing that has happened to my gaming hobby. I've sunk 200+ hours into a 6 year old game and I can't imagine why I should even bother to attempt to play a woke simulator like Dragon Age.
I listed recently phases of how the debucle goes ( and some of you guys helped expand it). But i'm afraid we forgot bout specific one before everything ends: Please, buy our product 😢🙏!
A month! That is what cured me from pre-orders in 2014. It was Thief, then. I felt scammed for paying full price. Rarely have bought anything full price since.
Shills be like: A-actually the game went on sale because... because... damn crap i don't know... eh... Bioware must be... giving us a late Christmas gift! That's right. They're the good guys and want to make our time better by selling us this masterpiece at half the price... yeah...
So many people have limited time to play, for this people is not about the money but time. If the product is not what they want to spend their free time with, you can give it for free and they still won’t play it.
EA bought Bioware for 860,000,000 in 2007. They made that back off the commercial successes of the Mass effect and DA trilogies. They have no reason to keep it at this point as it has paid for itself and would Just be dead weight.
To be fair, Fallout 76 was released on a tuesday and by friday, i saw it for 35% off. The following friday it was 50% off. Point? I clocked over 1000 hours on Fallout 76, I would not touch this game in 1000 years.
I was in Walmart today and it's on rollback discount already. It's sad when a new game is already being sold on discount to try to inflate sales to try to avoid being deemed a flop (it is).
This game had literally been NO 1 rank on my Buy List for the past 10 years. How you could screw that up, so not only did I not buy it, but resolved to never buy anything again from BioWare unless they burn themselves to the ground and rebuild, is beyond comprehension. Yet, here we are.
Obstacle is: I can't afford a laptop to run it on, as I dislike running a loan for minimum new specs. But, if some Davy Gaydor, backed by that modern audience, comes along & dishes me money: Sure, I would play DAV without a bias (Mournguard & Antivan Crows are already on mylist). 🤑
If you are a *game* development company that chooses to court activists over gamers (your customer base), you deserve to fail on business principle alone.

@jaideepshekhar4621 fink....hmm sound jewish..explains ..
If EA were smart, they'd find non-DEI-infested studios and license Dragon Age and Mass Effect to them. Then work on cleaning up the mess they've made of their own studios.
If there ever is another Saw movie, they should use Vielguard as a trap.
Not even Jigsaw is that sadistic 😂
Jigsaw: "You must include Taash during your playthrough of DA: The Vielguard. If you do not complete the game with they/them in your party, you die."
@@odindarkll3706 guess i'll die 🤷♂
I remember when the devs LITERALLY SAID something like "If you don't like pronouns and woke stuff, don't buy it."..........
I obliged.
The journalist from Fan Wire said that Black Wukong was pathetic upset over the gaming reward losing to Dragon Age. But the biggest question is how did Dragon Age get elected to be the best gaming of 2024 when most of the game got refunded and barely sold in EU.
will the modern audience finally show up and save the game? no.
It’s not the price, but the material that is keeping people from buying this game.
I wouldn't play it for free.
ME5 will be like STARFIELD but with more woke agenda.. no sorry just trans agenda
Man at least the Andromeda team; who had no true experience outside of the ME3 multiplayer, TRIED. They attempted the best they could with that insultingly little time they had.
Yep, ME5 and continued perpetuation of the trans lie.
Well hopefully BioWare will lose enough money on this game that they won't put the woke crap in the next Mass Effect.
Don't insult Starfield like that😂
There could be trans guns in the game. That could be a new type of gameplay where you’re required to affirm the gun’s identity (you matter 🏳️⚧️ 😚 🎉)
all i can say, No/Buy/Any period.
Ah… When the rose-tinted glasses finally break. 😮💨
Got Black Myth Wukong for Christmas, and I can't wait to play a game that deserves my money 🙂
BMW is still at full price and yet it sold millionssss~
Enjoy! You are in for a good time!
Bioware has passed its expiration date. 🤢
The only way to fix this mess is impossible for them. Apologize, De-canonize the game, and make a new non-woke DA:4 that holds true to the lore, grit, and art style of the DA universe.
Did you see the artbook, WTF!?!
Easiest solution is always the hardest for them. Because it means facing reality, admitting defeat and their "ideology" isn't as perfect as they advertised after so many double downs. Otherwise in their warped mindset, the "chuds and bigots" will have won. They're too proud to allow it. So this ludicrous and unnecessary complicated tactic it is.
As a dragon age fan, I agree. I feel we deserve an apology and a new dragon age 4. One made by developers and not identity politics activists.
Odd I put a comment here and it suddenly disappeared hmm. But to reiterate, they won't do it. Easiest thing in the world but it would mean going against their pride and they're so caught up on proving people wrong, they rather lose money then admit they can be wrong.
The first 2-3 hours of Veilguard is more of a training session and the game didn't really start until you're 3-5 hours in and I'm sure this was to stop refunds.
I will buy that for a dollar. The entire company that is!
That is smart.
You would start losing money the moment you own them
A summary of how BioWare lost his soul
-Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk cofounders of BioWare retired from the gaming industry in 2012
-Casey Hudson Creator and director of the Mass Effect series left in 2014 (He tried to open his own studio but closed down recently due to lack of funding)
-David Gainer Creator and writer of the Dragon Age series left in 2016
-James Ohlen lead designer of Baldurs Gate and DA origins left in 2018 after 22 years in the company (founded and currently working in archetype entertainment along with other veteran devs)
-Drew Karpyshyn writer of Mass Effect 1 and 2 left in 2012 and returned in 2015 only to definitely leave in 2018 (currently working in archetype along Ohlen)
-Mike Laidlaw Creative director of Dragon Age left in 2017 after DA4 (now the Veil Guard disaster) development was rebooted he had 14 years in the company
Add the constant EA meddling and the hiring of Corpotivists, and whatever was left of old Bioware was lost after Anthem.
Wait, so Archlight the guys making Exodus is being handled by the guy who made Origins
Well to be honest, I wouldn't praise casey hudson, since he is a person responsible for mass effect 3 color endings fiasco (which hurts for me still, yes).
Fixed this for you:
-Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk cofounders of BioWare retired from the gaming industry in 2012 after selling their company to EA for $860m in 2008.
That was truly the beginning of the end of Bioware.
My wallet is closed
the dev abandon gamers first, and mocking us along the way too, cheering for our distress when they successfully ruin the franchise we love and given us weird title such as incel brainwash whatever, they deserve to fail and with no sympathy
I got this game for free from work. It being a new title and already an "award" for employees tells me EA has little faith left in this game.
I really do want to bankrupt them for shoving this woke shyt in their games.
Chud money makes the gaming industry world go round. I'm too busy not liking, not buying. I'll think about it if they sell it for 5 and the entire studio and CEO pull a communal Barv. 💀
Pull a barv for being offensive to the common man then we might buy it, but I'd still want it for £1.99 and that would be for the barv
They REALLY don't get it. Do they? The disconnect is astounding.
They know, they refuse to admit they're at fault. They'll grandstand until they die.
This is so funny!
We all see the pattern, the only reason a game gets heavily discounted a month or two after release is if it's selling badly.
"Look! We sold XXX-million copies, please don't shut us down!"
"Mhm.... how many of those were sold AT A LOSS?"
Yes if you make game that is made for gamers, like DAI or DAO you are gonna sell good but if you turn a game into a woke statement, you go broke😂😂😂
What really gets me is the HUGE thick-headed stubborness of Bioware. It's actually quite incredible... But you know what they say about the tree that does not bend to the wind... It breaks.
It shows that the mainstream media has lost all of its influence. They said the game was good and absolutely nobody listened.
Don’t gaming companies realize the better a game is rated by gaming journalists and critics the worse it does in sales? 😂
It's markef down to $50 at Best Buy. Still too much
Wait a minute... I am not the target audience! Heh.
'Sips coffee'
Where you going? This is a perfectly good moment to throw your money away!
LOL They keep making this garbage, it's only going to get worse for these 'devs'.
Archetype Entertainment is the new Bioware studio where all of old devs went, they're making Exodus now.
Watch that work-in-progress Exodus game be The Callisto Protocol to Mass Effect's Dead Space and get crushed by Arknights: Endfield.
You couldn’t pay ME to play it never mind me buy it 😂
The video seems to skirt the question why exactly is DA:V failing so I’ll say it plainly… the game is woke, infested with trans ideology screaming yelling and scolding the player at every opportunity. I’ve got a message for BioWare and the conga line of all the other noble better-than-all-human “do-gooders” past, present, and future: YOU are the supervillains of our age. Yes. It’s YOU who are the bad guys, the evildoers, the wicked and the scum of the age.
Would you buy a dog 💩 at full price or wait until it's half price ?
I'm gonna guess you wouldn't take it for free.
This woke agenda running through the game's industry has made discover new genres outside of my usual interests and it's been the best thing that has happened to my gaming hobby. I've sunk 200+ hours into a 6 year old game and I can't imagine why I should even bother to attempt to play a woke simulator like Dragon Age.
I listed recently phases of how the debucle goes ( and some of you guys helped expand it). But i'm afraid we forgot bout specific one before everything ends: Please, buy our product 😢🙏!
A month! That is what cured me from pre-orders in 2014. It was Thief, then. I felt scammed for paying full price.
Rarely have bought anything full price since.
Shills be like: A-actually the game went on sale because... because... damn crap i don't know... eh... Bioware must be... giving us a late Christmas gift! That's right. They're the good guys and want to make our time better by selling us this masterpiece at half the price... yeah...
Why developer is not enjoying HUGE SUCCESS among "Modern audience" he aimed to please? Those HUGE player numbers show HOW HUGE "Modern audience" is.
I am Non Buynary. I have all other games, but not this woke turd, and I will NOT buy it even it is free.
Once more, we are reminded of the eternal wisdom of the saying:
-Money talks, bull$h1t walks.
Jokes on them, i buy Stalker 2 full price
did the same! even now it is free on game pass.. i waited for YEARS for this game.. and bugs? yeah! that's my STALKER game!
@@jeroenotten4361 THOSE ARE ANOMALIS
@@accelerator8558 hahaha! You're right, stalker!
So many people have limited time to play, for this people is not about the money but time. If the product is not what they want to spend their free time with, you can give it for free and they still won’t play it.
For modern gaming audience and definitely not me.
Ubisoft: "So, I'm non-buy worthy."
The push-up clip defines this game. Enough said and move on.
They just learned that "small audiences" don't pay the bills!
$5 would be $505 overpriced
Yes.
EA bought Bioware for 860,000,000 in 2007. They made that back off the commercial successes of the Mass effect and DA trilogies. They have no reason to keep it at this point as it has paid for itself and would
Just be dead weight.
To be fair, Fallout 76 was released on a tuesday and by friday, i saw it for 35% off.
The following friday it was 50% off.
Point? I clocked over 1000 hours on Fallout 76, I would not touch this game in 1000 years.
76 at launch was still better than VG.
They said they didn't need my money. I guess we'll see how long it takes for them to stop treating their customers like garbage.
Think it’s kind of funny I’m watching your part one of Dragon age Stream and this comes up. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was in Walmart today and it's on rollback discount already. It's sad when a new game is already being sold on discount to try to inflate sales to try to avoid being deemed a flop (it is).
I'm not wasting a penny on this game.
This game had literally been NO 1 rank on my Buy List for the past 10 years. How you could screw that up, so not only did I not buy it, but resolved to never buy anything again from BioWare unless they burn themselves to the ground and rebuild, is beyond comprehension. Yet, here we are.
If they remove the woke garbage, I'd buy it, but not in it's current state..
They'd need to remake the whole game with a whole new writing team
It's so tied in its pathetic..unrecoverable
Politics aside, the game just looks bad and poorly written.
It's face is tired.
I’m concerned that people are still buying this game!
Shelves Full while at $19.99 from Costco is 😆
Obstacle is: I can't afford a laptop to run it on, as I dislike running a loan for minimum new specs. But, if some Davy Gaydor, backed by that modern audience, comes along & dishes me money: Sure, I would play DAV without a bias (Mournguard & Antivan Crows are already on mylist). 🤑
Still to much $
If you are a *game* development company that chooses to court activists over gamers (your customer base), you deserve to fail on business principle alone.
