Dragon Age the Veilguard tried to fool everyone | Paws React

[@pawsvtuber]

Decided not to buy or stream it, too many good games to play instead.

[@lurkingllama8364]

Older games or newer games?

[@pawsvtuber]

@@lurkingllama8364 Both. Been enjoying Metaphor: ReFantazio, want to play through all of the Yakuza games, then there's Space Marine 2 and the list goes on. 😅 And right now doing a community server for Eco, to check latest update, been 4 years since I last played it So many games, so little time for all

[@ChazOfHonor]

[@zarafex-0923]

Like woke stuff culture war stuff aside they strait up doing scummy acts to hide how bad the game is and basically scam people. And for what? Just to inflate sales numbers to show to investors. Disgusting.

[@yoyp53]

Investors are their true customers. Gamers are just consumers, there to buy products and provide value for share holders

[@fakename1182]

Maybe Gamergate was about ethics in journalism... and the journalists were so opposed to ethics, they bullied the gamers into politically opposing them... and now the journalists hide behind their political morality, instead of answering for their unethical behavior.

[@gusty9053]

Too bad Steam now removes reviews if the publisher "feels it's being review bombed". Frankly buying any game sooner than 6 months post launch is a bad idea.

[@YukoValis]

I'm not saying any of this is right, but this guy seems to act like this is the first time this has happened. EA and other triple A have been selectively handing out review keys for the last 15+ years.

[@gusty9053]

Well it's probably the first time they gave out codes based on the LGTB status of the reviewer.

[@zetsumeinaito]

That guy claiming old Dragon Age was innovative for having non-straight pairings, and having choices that mattered with the endings. That's just telling me he doesn't play JP games, nor has played Vampire the Masquerade.

[@EM-vw7im]

It was innovative, and a continuation of so of their idea from kotor 1 and 2. Just because other games may have had those things doesn't mean they weren't innovative. Non traditional pairings and games with a plethora of choices and story ending were not that common, especially for mainstream western audiences. Masquerade at the time was a, some what niche game that developed quite a cult following later on. I'm assuming you mean Japanese games by JP, but most of those back then(even today) that were popular were quite linear in their stories, with little to no meaningful choices outside of getting or killing characters, like starocean or ff tactics. And as far as non traditional relationships identities, next to none of that in jrpgs, outside of things like the anime femboy or tomboy tropes and crossdressing. Bioware quite literally pioneered choices mattering and progressive ideas in their games between kotor, da, and me.

[@zetsumeinaito]

@@EM-vw7im Ah yes move that goal post and invalidate a game for not being popular enough. And ignore the whole romance genre of visual novel games. Many of which cater to "the community" in coupling tastes. Chrono Trigger's ending were pretty impactful. I mean everyone could turn into lizardmen, or the floating islands stick around, etc. Phantasy Star 3 literally had you go through 3 generations of heroes, and match make pairings. Which affected party members and events in game. non-liniarity is pretty much just an illusion. You have to hit specific plot points to beat the game. I should know, I played the game. If ya don't do em, you're just doin side quests till you run out of things to do. Much like the Elder Scrolls games.

[@YingShanLT]

This guy really just wants to avoid talking about political stuff, but it's legitimately a serious issue that is objectively tied to some of the worst parts of game development today. When people compare ugly modern characters to Bunny, it isn't meant to be literal. It's a statement that players want attractive characters, not "modern" ones. His views on this subject are fundamentally flawed because of his lack of desire to engage in the political issues surrounding this. For the record, one side wants to shove politics into their games. The other side just wants the games to not have politics at all.

[@Zephy_Sky]

Agreed. I like the majority of what legendary has to say, but he vehemently dislikes anything culture war related when that is clearly a major issue at play here. I get both sides have their radicals, but the difference here is one side has a firm hold in the industry.

[@iCrowLink]

I think the point is that the discourse is often centered around woke stuff and solely that. While woke stuff being shoved into games is a problem it's FAR from the biggest problem with these games. So I think the point is that it drowns out more important discourse about more pressing issues like access journalism and just atrocious writing in general. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@barrag3463]

@@iCrowLink It's the reason why GG went absolutely nowhere; everyone got so wrapped up in the SJW v Anti-SJW crap that everyone forgot the issue that actually kicked it off, that people who were ostensibly "journalists" were putting personal connections and self interest first and trying to manipulate public opinion to benefit themselves. Similarly, the issue right now is that game publishers and even some development studios are run by people who don't actually care about making a game people want, rather having the appearance of making games people want, so investors continue pumping money into the company. The political stuff isn't to be ignored, but it often times serves as a nice smokescreen from the root issues that turns any real discussion into go-nowhere discourse, which is why people are getting tired of talking about it. Stripped to the brass tacks, the Woke v. Anti-Woke stuff is basically the same talking points on either side we were having back in 2014.

[@trolldrool]

@@iCrowLink It also doesn't help how a lot of the time, reviews that start talking about the political stuff get so distracted that they spend more time on that instead of the other issues, or completely forget to talk about them altogether.

When you start viewing customers as consumers, everyone loses.

"You've got these two sides that are diametrically opposed and can't agree on anything" No. What you've got, is one side that wants to be left TF alone, and another side that refuses to do so.

[@gusty9053]

Yes he skirt around that issue because "it detracts" according to him. More likely he doesn't want to be "canceled". And it's not like the "low hanging fruit" isn't really telling when it comes to the end product. The proverbial RED FLAG. Oh, you were busy adding "surgery scars" in a supposedly dark fantasy and this is a major marketing point ?. Thanks, now i know what you are about to shit out. Like Vee (the romanian troll :))) ) keeps explaining: they are the ones that made us associate SJW propaganda with shit media. We are just seeing the pattern and responding accordingly.

[@1rotzy]

Oh my god, Paws, you absolutely nailed it. My brother and I can, and have, talked about how all of the companies that had that storytelling magic don't have it anymore because the people that gave it that magic aren't there anymore. Now, it's just a cadaver that is attached to strings and being puppeted by the company. As sad as it is, we need to throw our nostalgia away because what we once loved is gone, never to return.

i have over 4k hours with fallout 4 and that's mainly because i love crafting and thanks to modding community as old player i'm going to give you this important advice with bethesda games you should wait few years to purchase GOTY edition (with all expansions) and purchase it on as huge discount as possible (the value will never be there) and then still download unofficial patch (and in future download some great story mods that are better than entirety of what bethesda did) on a side note when todd says something that sounds good or amazing or just interesting your best assumption would be that he is lying and yes it will be in the game but in the most pathetic version possible

[@jerromynolting1139]

I feel us older gamers are grieving of a loss of something that was apart of are lives for decades. You would think game studios would outlive us in the long run but it was hollowed out for a quick buck or for preaching how everything's your fault, spits in your face. the old team gone when the old team gave you such a great childhood a world to see an grow in. then it was gone dead in front of you but still writhing in pain a corpse but still alive twisted an mangled. screaming, bloated, vile to look at. but i guess we old players were hoping it was not true but it was bioware was dead. it was like watching a pet get ran over an you have to watch it wright in pain an there's nothing you can do about it. It just hurts to watch, you know you have to put it down right than, their with your own 2 hands. It leaves a pain in you that can never heal. now all game studios we fear will have to be put down by are hands so we never have to go through that again. It hurt the 20-30 years of trust an good will that was built up has been burn to ash all for a quick buck. this is not the first time the gaming industry has had a collapse. the first collapse was in 1984-1994 before it was saved by consoles. I guess everyone should pay attention you are in the presents of history being made as you are living in the second collapse of the gaming industry that's started in 2018-20?? so far it's still collapsing right now so the finale date if it pulls it dead out of the tail spin is yet to be determine.

[@M1911Guy]

I view it like Halo, Bungie isn't great, an evil corporation some might say. Made a great game, slowly fell off trying to do it again, threw a bunch of people under the bus. But nostalgia doesn't make a corporation good. Takes good people for that.

[@The_ViciousOne]

Well the topic with Baldur's Gate is a bit complicated, but in short there have never been many competitors that could match the storytelling, game design, music, art and overall flair. Not back then, not after. On top the games were based on the famous D&D rulebooks, a big plus for fans at the time and thus were rather complex for today's standards. They were literally story heavy "nerd games", unlike the more action oriented Diablo. And the series success is in part also a reason for the success of Dragon Age: Origins later on.

[@ZeroPlaytime]

4:00 That's a tough question to ask, since most people won't be satisfied with an answer from others unless they investigate it themselves. In this case, playing 100 hours to see the decline in BioWare's writing.

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

The real irony is that Veilguard is successfully causing more harm to the LGBT+ community than any actual bigot could ever do. They're portrayed so poorly, in such an obnoxious manner, that I don't blame any average layman for instantly having a bad impression of them IRL as a result. Because if the way people act in Veilguard is even a fraction accurate to their IRL analogues, then their presence would be utterly unacceptable. That's not the way the vast majority of them act, but if Veilguard was your first major exposure to that... "culture"... then that's a big yikes and a huge L for the LGBT+ community as a whole.

[@pyroronpa]

4:00 using myself as an example, I had absolutely no connection to Chrono Trigger aside from hearing people say it's a great game, and that Akira Toriyama did the art. I went to an old retro store, bought a copy, played it, and I loved it. Probably my favorite game I played last year.

[@Its-Me-JD-X]

12:00 Because Legendary drops likes to talk about a lot of things without actually saying anything. And I 100% agree. No one is pressuring you to buy a game on Release date, you can wait.

[@lunarshadow5584]

The thing is, none of these video game companies are the same company they were before. They are all husks using the names of the original, a different team with less than 10% of the creators of the titles that made the big brand names we love, but are too ignorant to realize it because they are using the same name. I wonder how everything would develop if every company had to change its name the moment the head changed?

He wasn't saying cut them slack. He's saying that these (new) people are bearing the name or banner that has history behind it. And because of that, they should either bear that name and treat the expectations that come with it with ample responsibility, or they will get crushed by their audience for doing it disservice. And we all know what current BloatWare chose to do, hence this outcome.

[@drautch]

Keep in mind, it's also releasing between the new Call of Duty and the new Monster Hunter so....good luck with that Bioware

[@dragonturtle2703]

That is a huge problem with humans: people have bad experiences that taint stuff, often including things that were complete coincidences like happening at the same time or surface level similarities, that taint the thing forever. The same happens in reverse, but less often and usually just in one's childhood. Combine that with people who set out to ruin things for others, and That Guy's who rove around from group to group and hobby/fandom to hobby/fandom, let alone the important things like jobs, relationships, etc where it seems institutionally designed to burn you out and make you depressed, and you see people rapidly becoming bitter at life or society in general. And that's when people a dangerously large amount of people try to do at least one of three things: make everyone else suffer with them, self delete, and/or maliciously tear it all down.

[@barrag3463]

You should look at the past *to a point,* and look at all of it, not just the parts that make you happy. Like you said, the people at places like Blizzard or BioWare or Bethesda now are mostly different from who was there before. If people were looking at the past- *the whole past,* they'd have realized that the studios are just trying to coast by on nostalgic brand recognition, and the people actually responsible for the the memories have since moved on to other studios (a lot of them are still making games, just doing so elsewhere).

[@fantazjo]

i'm a nostalgic player and nostalgia serves me to return and enjoy old titles while being able to see how new ones make worse job and appreciate those that improve bioware games have been known for many good things but people ignore the bad ones mass effect 1. first had worse design issues than bugs (like all of those blocked mechanics behind achievements that you had to make from zero with each installation second expansion was about playing simulation and was only available in this horrible ea store 2. second was more linear and action focused but people tend to forget how reduced and monetize it was on release it had controls for vehicle without any vehicles until very poor expansion almost a year later armor for companions was removed to sell cosmetics (first game with prototype cosmetic microtransactions) timer till your crew dies which limited how much can you do and how much time can you spend with legion 3. third was a good multiplayer game with bad single player mode "but the citadel" F. everyone who dares to mention it because of games value is only in its expansion then the game itself had no value to begin with (especially since this expansion was not connected to main game (just a side story with no purpose) when official game channel had any meaning there was a video announcing the incredible multiplayer affecting single player and obviously comments were filled how this is a bad idea that will ruin single player and everyone was right about it and it was far worse than anyone could anticipate (forcing player to reach best multiplayer outcome and instantly switch to single player because that was the only way to get best single player outcome which forced many players to spend fortune on loot boxes) original teaser promoting a lot final battle content .... none of that was in the game horribly bad and lazy ending that caused world wide outrage and never got properly fixed so to me people that say things like great trilogy are either lying or remain wilfully ignorant 4. andromeda had a great idea of going between second and third game and go with civilian program to explore other galaxy and for most people lack of shepherd was the most horrible thing that instantly made it unplayable (years later people that were persuaded to not play it have given it a chance and liked it but now nobody cares) a brand new story witch new character and new galaxy and it's mysteries return of vehicle and exploration addition of crafting meaningful decisions that influence final outcome (not just in text but also visuals and combat) the game was obviously unfinished and abandoned before final patch and what hurts me the most was learning how sabotaged entire production was for sake of more monetizable projects (because of that everyone who use andromeda as something bad without mentioning its production i instantly dislike and turn off video) post ending quarian ark makes contact (the one with all the more fragile races) and that is the perfect scenario for new game (with race choice) but when it was announced that next mass effect is going to unite fans of TRILOGY and andromeda i immediately lost any hope (because the only way for such unity is in hatred (old galaxy and shepard and their timeline are over and they can't be reused))

When I was in highscool in 2000s I would monthly buy the gaming magazine called LEVEL. I was eager to read the articles that were quiq wit and funny. And on tope of that you would get a CD with a smal game, some demos and some pc software, Later on youtube I discovered Total Biscuit (R.I.P) doing videos about wow cataclism, as his chanel got biger and he started doing gaming impresions, he was always critic of the product and an advocate of consumer rights. Also BG3 is a masterpice and I recomend you play it if you haven't, the turn based combat may take a while to get used if your not familiar to any turn based game like Xcom, Wasteland or Divinity Orgininal sins games, but the story, the dialog and choices and voice acting is peak, it has so much replay value.

[@thorin1045]

they were good in their time and place, but nowhere the level they are hyped today. but it is true that the chasing of better and better graphics caused the decline of the games. you cannot have a major choice in the early part, since that should seriously increase the cost of the graphics, and more importantly increase the cost of the graphics that will be not seen by the vast majority, as almost no game played more than once.

The bad thing is sometimes even the overall Steam review score cannot be trusted because you will constantly see reviews with the thumbs up but the actual content of the review only has bad things to say. In order for steam to have more accurate reviews that are not inflated with "positive" reviews, it needs to have a 1 through 10 scale whether than yes or no

[@jessemeechan7689]

As someone who put many hundreds of hours in the mass effect trilogy Andromeda wasn't a bad game. It wasn't great either but it was( in my opinion) a solid game that deserved better. The bioware "magic" EA and the devs have been almost completely relying on in recent games was a result of crunch and rushing to finish development. We keep seeing people say " this isn't my bioware" and such and they're completely right, most of the developers from past games have left the studio. Still sad to see but no one can be king forever.

[@iCrowLink]

There is one simple reason why they should be engaging with players, regardless of what they think of them, and it's simple: because gamers decide whether your game will be successful or not. 😂 You can think of gamers whatever you want, if you go against them your game will fail, period. Concord, Dustborn, Star Wars: Outlaws, they went against gamers and their games flopped, it's that simple. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@s.r.5773]

funny video, man's so regarded he thinks journalists have any obligation or morals to provide decent coverage. I'll never forget these words I heard back in 2015 " game jurnos are just failed mainstream journalist applicants". Very few of them care about actually playing games because doing so doesn't put you in a positive light with the suits trying to push an agenda. Also his complaint about people posting character comparisons stating what players want is disingenuous or plain clueless, no dev tried to ever correct what people complained about cause they were never interested in our opinions to begin with, to assume that they ignore it due to people making "unfair" comparisons is a fence sitter / grifter take.

[@molkereis8626]

You have to bring up the political stuff because that is where the bad writing is coming from. The funny thing is though if you really look at it there are two groups. The group that doesn't want a bunch of LGBT stuff in their dragon age game and just want to play a game vs the creators/writers of this game who hate LGBT people. Lets be completely honest I don't think it is a coincidence that they write all LGBT characters so bad. I think they secretly hate them and their unconscious bias comes out in their writing. Before someone responds yes I know one of them is trans and I think that is part of the issue... They most likely act this way and want to write the character like them so they can say, "See it is because I am LGBT that most people can't stand me not because I act like a child having a temper tantrum all the time." This would be called self hate and it comes out in the writing.

[@elikyiael8740]

8:58 completelly true, i have to say that to myself h24 with ubisoft and most of playstation

[@Zephy_Sky]

it's not about specific characters existing naturally in the game. (For some people maybe, but thats not the legitimate criticism here) It's about the heavy-handed way certain things are presented that feel inauthentic. In a medieval world constantly under threat of darkspawn, how and why are modern day social political issues a thing? There are so many other more pressing matters in a world like this I find it difficult to believe these issues would sprout up naturally on their own within this setting as we know it. Especially considering these things were never touched upon in previous games lore. Things like the surgeries. It would be an unnecessary and dangerous risk to take. Not to mention the technology and medical knowledge required wouldn't exist. Things like preferred pronouns. This is a modern day concern with only a small niche of people that has no natural place in a dark medieval fantasy setting where it would be so low on the totem pole of concerns it would never pop up. Multi-racial races. It's obvious the story comes from a modern day western dev team when every town looks like the American melting pot. It's obvious this is only done for forced representation and tokenism purposes. Things like this don't just happen naturally in a world where horse drawn carriage is the primary mode of transportation. There is more I could pick at, but the point is all of this and more are done because of an ideology that doesn't respect consistency and logic. It's immersion breaking and objectively makes any world of fiction worse.

[@o-mangaming5042]

Eh, I could give some of this stuff a pass by mentioning magic. There was a trans character in Inquisition, and no big deal was made about it. You asked, you found out about it. Had a slightly awkward conversation where the possibility of a magical transition was brought up and rejected by the character because they didn't want magic being that invasive to them. And then that character just went on being their usual badass self anyway.

[@Zephy_Sky]

@o-mangaming5042 to sneak a character in who "magically transitioned" doesn't mean this magically gets a pass. No big deal was made because people weren't as aware about the stuff being forced into games around this time. Not to mention it was a side character with relatively very little to do with anything in the story. I imagine most people didn't even interact with this character aside from the mandatory dialogue. Also, the whole point of trans isn't to be trans. That contradicts the condition itself. If they were willing to write in a "magical procedure" (which to be clear is also just bad writing. Literally no context and explanation, it just exists just because?) why wouldn't they write it in such a way as to completely work? No scars, just complete and total sex change. It's because it's performative. Every single point I mentioned. The way they handled this character was also wrong. I do think people with the condition should exist in this world and setting. That is just the natural state of some people. Even back in old history. I just take issue with how modern the issue is presented. It's unrealistic for a dark fantasy setting. Even if there wasn't a political movement involved.

I love how in this day and age people have such a short term memory that they treat the whole "early review codes" stuff as something that has always been there, like some sort of ancient sacred tradition. A tradition that EA/Bioware somehow violated. It is not. The whole thing was created by publishers to control the public opinion about the upcoming releases. I never trusted early review specifically because of that. Yet seeing people act as if company being selective on who to give the codes for early reviews is something that never happened before, I only have one question: were you all born yesterday or something?

Is there a point to your post except to be toxic? 1. You knowing or being aware of something doesn't make it common knowledge 2. People can be educated on the subject at any point and time 3. Not everyone opens their eyes to certain issues or keeps up to date with it 4. Majority aren't saying it's new, just that it's happening here too... Perhaps I am missing your point, but it just reads like you're salty people are noticing or caring now lol

Are you going to play Path of Exile 2? Just to compare it to Lilith 1 ...oh sorry I mean Diablo 4. 😂😂😂

[@pawsvtuber]

Judging Bethesda games based only on Starfield and unmodded Fallout 4 probably isn't the best way to figure out if you like them or not, but their formula certainly won't work for everyone. That said, if you want to try modded FO4 (honestly, the recommended way to play any Bethesda game) but don't have the patience for modding,, you can try finding mod collection instead of picking everything out yourself.

I played Andromeda before the main trilogy of ME, and I think they're both great. I think a lot of the hate Andromeda got was just the remnants of the hate for the ending of ME3

So is the game fucked? Sorry not watching all this

i dont know why the hell you're shitting on the video you are reacting to on the first couple of minutes, when he is just setting up the ground work for the whole discussion. that is how most of the original content work.

[@pawsvtuber]

I don't know why you're being condescending and snarky either, but here we both are :)

[@yel6921]

​@pawsvtuber well i guess thats a mutual understanding
