His take is a doublestandard based on bye is
DA was very diverse before, the problem is they forgot to tell Dragon Age story, to tell the story of they social opinions from RL. Bioware killed Dragon Age , stop blaming your bs on gamers.
Gaming youtuber that hates gamers cycle: It's not woke! You sure you're not a grifter?? Okay, it's a little woke, but hey it's not a bad game. Okay, it's woke, it's not made for you! but that's a good thing. 😅
Why do these people use word "hate" so casually. We all know what this verb/noun really means. If people don't like something, that is NOT hatred. They just use most bombastic words to get them desired results.
Nothing new from woke cultists who are same as religious puritans and dictatorship cultists. Although there is a thing called "love to hate", which is now more like a badge of honour.
Well if you were around ni the 1990s the happy meals came with a toy. When I was a kid i liked the toy now they no longer do that. So you got a small burger, small fries medium drink and a toy now you get small burger small fries and small drink as they found out they are not good at picking what toys the kid will want. McDonalds is better than EA in that regard as at least they still offer for you to pay for it what might be seen as food.
If Veilguard was amazing people would play it no matter if youtube "grifters" told us not to. Guys like him believe that gamers are completely mindless sheep who just consume or ignore whatever we're told to. Such an insulting attitude.
which also doesn't track because the number of shills willing to die on this hill should mean "grifters" can't do jack against this game anyway. which is it?
He’s projecting himself in this, he believes that people doesn’t have it’s own criteria, exactly like him because nobody else can think different that him, right?
I don't agree with this idiot dude (the guy in the video) but yes gamers are like sheep. If you don't believe me just try to say certain games are bad under baldy's videos or call others good and see what happens. Everyone wants to conform and be accepted that includes this whole bunch too. This place is as much an echo chamber as the woke nests people hang out in, just at the opposite direction.
No one would've cared if it was a good game. The writing just made them all whinny and unlikeable the entire game because it kept coming up for no reason.
It's funny how they say "our games weren't made for you", but then there's apparently a 100 % overlap between the audience of the UA-cam "grifters" and their target demographic.
This is the guy that made Twisted Metal. Twisted Metal Black, is one of the DARKEST games ever made. And he's been roped into the DEI cult. What a damn shame. RIP David Jaffe 2024.
Og GoW and Twisted Metal Black, some of my personal all time favorite games. With Jaffe being a huge part of the development of these amazing games, I was a fan of his work for a long time and even of his as well even despite his personal beliefs being the polar opposite of mine but he got to he too much for me a while back. Never thought he'd come back quite like this but here we are, what a shame
@bandawin18 exactly. Twisted Metal Black gave me a visceral reaction with the dark themes, imagery, and story back in the day. One of the few memories I have with my older brother is through Twisted Metal. I watched Jaffe after the TM show came out and thought to try and follow some of his stuff more, but didn't. At least I know it was for the better. I don't understand his view point, and apparently he has a trans kid or his kids friends are trans don't know for sure don't care, but I feel like the stuff he's said in this video is performative. And that is understandable given more context. Still writing him off, but at least I don't feel resentment about it.
Wasn’t this the guy who got stuck on a Metroid Dread level and complained about how bad the level design was, while all the other streamers seemed to have no trouble with the same section? He’s quite the authority on gaming, huh?
Reminder that this pile of garbage was already up for a GOTY nomination *the day after release* , and Space Marine 2 didn’t even get a nod. Never question whether or not there’s an agenda at play, because there is.
and wtf would it be? online is pure trash with no content. and the game is 6 hours long. it's a shell of a game. good gameplay with no content is just as shit as content but no gameplay.
@@U5mR L take. I do not care how long a game is. If I enjoy absolutely every second of the experience like I and many other's did with Space Marine 2, it is objectively a good game. If your main criticism of a game is "there isn't enough of it" that is absolutely a mark of a good game. Always leave them wanting more. Play it again, try to do thing's differently, get really good at it. Or just appreciate it for what it is. Putting a marker on how long a game needs to be for it to be considered a good game is a very slippery slope. That's how you get games that drag on far longer than they need to and diminish their own accomplishments. That's how you end up with things that are buggy messes because there wasn't enough development time to iron out all the content equally. You also are not the arbiter of what is good game length and what is not. Personally any game that goes longer than 10 hours I am typically not interested in. I have too many things that consume my time in my life as it is, I cannot devote 100 hours to any singular piece of entertainment because I will miss out on 10 other incredible things in the process.
@@_uncreditedyeah, I looked for videos talking about how lacking it was. Never found any. It could have been great too. But it's too linear, too short, and missing basic features. I will say the lack of bugs were refreshing, but again, that is easy when you consider how small the game is.
@@jonathanst89 Basic features like? I remember when people actually made their points. It's a true sequel that's bigger and better than the original, does it not have endless replay value, sure. It's not cod's endless grind, it's about fun gameplay, which I feel the operations mode fulfills the desire for more as playing well with a squad feels epic. People need to enjoy something for once goddamn.
You know what's truly sad? This man is the creator of both Twisted Metal and God of War, among other hard-edged, no bullshit kind of games. To see him talk like this just breaks my heart. You know this industry truly has failed us when even the OGs are fueling this delusional narrative.
@@drthmik he's listed as Game Director for many titles, basically the guy who calls all the shots. What I attribute this to is life in California. It warps people's views of reality.
At the same time Chris Avellone speaks against racist hiring practices at Obsidian and the creator of Earthworm Jim straight up stands up to all this modern nonsense.
Asmon: "I've played 71 hours. The game's suck." David: "I've played 22 hours and the game is McDonald's tier, but those grifters are wrong for saying the game is bad."
I've gotten my platinum, my authority is the highest. It's a badly written game for teenagers and a disgrace to both the Dragon Age franchise and the LGBT+ community.
"People shouldn't compare this game. It's unique, like all games." He self admitted that it has terrible writing, and it's a guilty pleasure junk food. He just don't have the balls to say that it's bad.
14:30 He doesn't realize that isn't the same. It's like playing a game in feudal japan and you are about to eat something and a thing pops up and says "Oh, is this gluten-free?". That's the same as the immersion-breaking shit in this game.
"Terribly written, cringe and stupid" Ha, he cannot even keep his lying story straight. According to him, people who don't like the game are grifters, and then he says it is "Terribly written, cringe and stupid"? "It's a young adult fantasy novel" lol, just say it sucks. What a guy.
he didnt achieve anything thereafter, but stuck to that glory like a super glue and paste the title on his video every now and then. his subs is 50k+ and his views is 2k 1k 10k? then he think too highly of himself...
The table scene + the Barf apology scene. No other context needed. Those two scenes were so cringe-inducing I couldn't even watch let them play. Had to skip through a little bit.
Because it's easier to argue against him like that. "That guy is an evil bigot, therefore his opinions can't be reasonable". People dehumanise other people to make it easier for themselves to be hostile and aggressive against them.
@@TheTuttle99 It is, but its gonna take time. Everything already in development is going to be just like veilguard. Things that are starting production may be better. No guarantees of course, but there's a chance for the stuff that hasn't already been started.
This guy is trying his hardest to defend and hype up this game, but he knows it's objectively bad and unpopular so to avoid being called an idiot fanboy of the unpopular themes of this game, since he clearly knows nothing about Dragon Age as a franchise and how this game butchered the lore, he has to go about defending it in the most vague, soft and wimpy way possible.
literally every frame where he paused the video to talk, the video during the gameplay footage it's all glowing and gaudy blinding color effects green, red, blue, purple it's objectively hideous blinding, and ugly and that's not even the worst thing about the game
So what you're saying is, he failed at being a parent so he has to justify his failing by going on insane rants and attacking others. Yeah, makes sense
22 hours means he is on the first map of the game and with how little he knows about the games history/story he isn't even paying attention. Which showcases that the only real reason he is defending it like many others who scream "YOU MUST PLAY TO TALK." Basically is only about ideology. Same thing happened with Saints Row 2022 and quite a bit other games. These people aren't gamers they are grifters that want to push agendas.
I've also heard numerous people saying (and I agree) that the game plays better at the beginning bc you still have the illusion that it's building up to something. Kinda like the Haven period in Inquisition that's mostly a long tutorial and then you get to Skyhold and the game opens up massively with roleplay and choices. And in Veilguard the more you play and realize "this is it, this is all it's gonna be until the end of the campaign" the more depressed you get.
That doesn't make any sense then. Unless he doesn't know his child at all. Last thing I want as someone who's trans is wanting to see my problems being written like a caricature straight out of circus by people that not only don't understand it, but try to appeal to people like me by... reminding me about my irl problems while I try to relax and escape from them in games. It does more harm than good to trans people in general because such garbage makes people think that all of us are irrational crying clowns that want to see this badly portrayed bs in every piece of media.
“Grifters” are not “influencing.” They simply provide information about the product that the legacy reviewers try to hide from you. Then it’s up to the gamer to decide if they still want to pay £70 for the product or not.
"Grifter" implies the person doesn't actually believe what they're saying and is just engagement farming. Its dishonest to call legitimate critics that.
Saw that with Angry Joe, as he is a diehard DA fan and was completely devastated by how bad it was. He even struggled to say anything positive. As for myself, I just enjoyed the dumpster fire of the game via other live streams, almost as hilariously bad as SW Outlaws.
Isn't this the SAME GUY who complained about how they made Kratos softer in the new GOW games??? So you can put up with a "dark" action RPG with bad dialogue, bad writing, forced LGBTQ inclusion, bland combat, etc, but Kratos can't be a good dad and a more passionate character or it ruins his franchise? Tf outta here with that. Makes it SEEM like your argument for GOW is actually based on the fact that YOU don't control it anymore. No wonder he doesn't make games anymore. Too much Twitter/Tumblr brain rot
He made the og GoW AND Twisted Metal so it tracks that he'd be mega edgy. That era of gaming never left him. To be fair, I do personally prefer og Kratos most due to TC Carson's performance and Twisted Metal Black was a childhood favorite, but David Jaffe fell off so fuckin hard, man. He could've continued to be a huge part of these franchises and Twisted Metal could've been thriving as a franchise but he left that life long ago
Can someone explain the David Jaffe Fall off to me? I never knew why he stopped making games. Also yea, I much prefer OG gow, I dont know how people can prefer the river styx simulator that that first sequel was, didn’t even bother with Ragnarok because the combat to me was just way less fun than in the OG games and I was NOT here for visual novel GOW bs.
Jaffe used to be based af, not leaning left or right and had an open mind, talking to all kinds of people on his stream. Seeing that Jaffe blocked Asmon preemptively is sad man.
@@cococock2418wrong, im not religious, im pro choice, i believe in free health care, i believe (to a certain extent) in climate change, i believe in a safety net and financial help from the government for poor people, i believe in government regulations however I absolutely hate identity politics, i hate wokism, i hate political correctness. I believe in freedom of speech, what does that make me? Politically homeless? Cos that ain't right wing or left wing.
@@cococock2418 That thinking is exactly what brought us here. Both sides offer good and bad things, and when you prevent yourself from seeing that you become part of a blind cult that's resistant to good ideas.
His successful games came from wanting to make things that were FUN and focused on ENTERTAINING the audience, not preaching to them. That David Jaffe would hate this dude. He's like the Kevin Smith of vidya.
I think his son's friend is gay or something and they wanted a safe space away from their parents that experience turned Jaffe into a lefty. I heard on a video of his I watched like 2 years ago I don't watch his videos anymore though since he has tds.
@@PeroCat This is actually what happens to a lot of these 35-50 year old developers or middle aged parents/uncles/aunts, they get sentimentally captured by a close friend/relative of theirs, and their friend/relative are usually young, naïve and mentally ill. When that happens, your empathy receptor overloads, and you want to catch a grenade for them to the ends of the earth. As a result, they create this safe space for these friends/relatives as a means to shield them from potential harm.
@@zzz66688 They also spend an insane amount of time watching mainstream media like TV and believe it 100%, never question it, never do personal research, don't use online. They are completely brainwashed by the narrative.
Game is way worse for spanish speakers. The "they/them" doesn't exist in our lenguage, we have "La" (female) and "El" (male) but the games use "elle" meaning neither woman or men. The thing is, "elle" doesn't exist. The game change all the words ending with "la" or "lo" with that stupid word making entire phrases impossible to read without having brain damage.
Jaffe out here saying we need to play the game for ourselves to actually know if it's a bad game or not. Like we have to drink poison to know if it'll kill us or not.
How does an older guy like this speak like a mid 2000s teenage girl? “Like ya know, whatever”, “I mean, like, come on, ya know”? Bro can’t even speak a straight sentence without it.
There's a reason there's a very much alive, funded by gamers, modding scene for Skyrim 13 years after its release, while a lot of these "competitors" fade into obscurity months after release. The next one in that line is going to be Avowed.
They also fail to realize that if buying and playing the game was a requirement for each person to review and decide, what's the purpose of review? The sale has been made. They are making the argument that only works if there is a totally free demo to try.
I have yet to see a clip of Taash that doesn't make them(?) seem like an unhinged man child, written by someone who would struggle to land a Webtoon original. The rest of the cast is obnoxiously and poorly written too, but nobody talks about them because of how aggressively awful the writing for Taash is. But no, it's balding-mon Gold driving away sales.
@@charnel8435 to be fair i like it but haven't finish it yet lol. my main issue is how he can like it and then advocate for dreadwolf (f off veilguard is a dumb name) like he points out issues that fans have goes ya ok sure....... stop hating like he knows whats wrong with the game can't defend it but goes stop being negative guys.
9:30 whaaaat? You mean the game that pushes trans ideation also seems like it’s geared to visually and intellectually be for kids?…. Of course they wouldn’t do that…
David Jaffe is hilarious. He thinks that people will take into consideration the opinion of a guy who was stuck on Metroid Dread for 45 minutes and then got mad at the game because he couldn't figure out he needed to shot part of the ceiling.
Stardew Valley peaked at 104,521 today. It's just too damn funny that a game as old as Stardew, which is just 2D, peaks at more players 8 years after release than Failguard managed to reach as its max player number. Terraria had 48,000 today, released in 2011.
you know what is annoying the most for me? They make games that are both bad AND woke. After that, when you tell them that this game is bad because it is really BAD (with wokenes or without, it is bad), they tell you in return that you only hate the game because you are against gay people or something UPD I thought about it a little longer. In fact, they use wokenes as a defense against any criticism, even if it is completely objective criticism. I hope that the success of such projects as Space Marines 2, Stalker 2, Stellar Blade, etc. and the complete failure of "western" projects will finally make "western" developers understand that this no longer works UPD2 And yes, there are some games with some "wokenes" elements such as Cyberpunk and BG3, I’m wondering if ubisoft developers has ever thought about why no one hates these games for wokenes, it seems to me that they haven’t thought about anything at all
Even when you question the wokeness to try to make a sincere discussion around it like asking why is this in this game that has nothing to do with the game. They will automatically think you are against LGBTQ and call you every buzzword word.
Celeste was woke as fuck, but it was a good game, that is the reason nobody complained about it. Fact is that people are not tired of "woke" games, but of BAD games
Doesn't make him any less capable of having dumb opinions/takes. Personally I've never like either of those gaming franchises. Just my opinion, no different than his opinions. Doesn't make a lick of difference to me regarding the topic at hand.
Gotta love how nowadays any dissenting opinion on shit like this is apparently "grifting". I saw the gameplay footage, listened to the writing in the cutscenes, and decided against this game. Darn grifters manipulating me into not liking Veilguard by... showing me their gameplay footage!
When every video someone makes is about woke game, bad, non-woke game, good, you don't think they have realized those are the videos that make them money and that is why they do it?
What makes DAV worse is that the writing is straight up just awful. Someonemade a video and rewrote Taash's scene of coming out to their mom and it sounded so much fucking better without losing the emotional weight that the original couldn't fucking muster. UA-camrs didn't kill DA, it was them. The writing team. The game director. Their fucking bosses. I hate how the story for dreadwolf and the concept arts clearly had a great idea behind it but nah, they wanted to just do their own shit. Yeah, i'm still mad
Here's a better and more profitable idea: how about just not including the worst companion to ever grace an Obsidian title in your game. Seems crazy I know. "Owning the Chuds" is the priority after all.
This guy was pivotal in creating the original God of War, but we see how age has made him lose all his testosterone and now he is all soft modern. Let us also not forget that the Metroid devs named a room in Metroid Dread the Jaffe Room (this guy's name is Jaffe) because he was filtered out in that room. All he had to do was shoot a destroyable ceiling/wall (an incredibly common mechanic in Metroid games when you find a "dead end"). His meltdown about the poor game design of Metroid Dread was so legendary even the devs came to mock him.
"I've only played Inquisition and I didn't finish it" sounds to me like he can't say shit he wasn't there for the actual good games and he didn't finish the mediocre one.
@@shinian6523 Not just the lore. He doesn't know much about the games in general. Didn't play 1 or 2, didn't finish 3, and isn't even halfway through 4. Yea...truly an authority on the series... /s
Then he's even worse if he doesn't see it being portrayed in game as caricature that's not only condescending, but also completely out of place. I'd even say that it's presenting selfish and disrespectful view on these issues.
The current team deciding they didn't like what Dragon Age was, and so they retconned a LOT of past lore and then wiped out most of Thedas to do a reboot in their image. They hated DA Origins.
10:40 Its not a conspiracy, its a religious faith. Conspiracy implies they do it secretly when they do it openly. You don't need to have secret meetings when everyone already has been inculcated into the tenets of the faith, and purged if they disagree.
People just don’t get it no matter how much you try to attack, blame or whatever, you can never hurt a good product if your game, movie, series, or whatever is good, nobody like NOBODY can stop its success. Nowadays these companies are doing shitty, terrible jobs after they fail miserably they put the blame on consumers pure hypocrisy
Michael Malice made perfect sense when explaining to someone on his podcast why their reaction to opposition was always so forceful. He linked the current 'forced behavior' strategy we are seeing from so many angles to Soviet Russia, and then told a story about how the people in the USSR didn't actually believe the lies they were told, they were just too beaten down to fight back against them. To paraphrase: 'We knew they were lying. They knew we knew. It's when we started fighting back against the lies that they realized they no longer controlled us.' THAT is why they go after the so-called 'haters, grifters, detractors, etc..' so forcefully.
Dragon age died the moment it came out. It’s incredible how a fantasy game can be so borderline trash. If any of y all played that trash and were left flaccid over the lack of a good fantasy story, go play metaphore. Trust me you will be thanking me
Some people seem to love it but I honestly think they're social rejects with no concept of a good story. They just want a feel-good cozy story mixed with some power fantasy. Because anything else gives them anxiety.
@@luske2I think the only people that enjoy it are kids that are either too young and very easily influenced by media ( which is kinda crazy that this whole thing of becoming trans in the game could influence the kids in the wrong way) or just very inexperienced gamers that just started playing video games
On Twitter he was like “What is woke about this game? Clearly articulate to me.” Someone did that, and he completely ignored and disengaged. He’s an industry tool trying to be relevant.
They love to use the word grifter, but spreading propaganda and something for money is the definition of a grifter...The audacity... Talk about Stellar Blade being "vanilla" yet showing the most generic action RPG game. Do you know which RPG with party member that from a western studio I would recommend other to play? DA:Origins. Not Veilguard.
'Alright, so we got this trillion dollar budget and 98% of the people who are going to be working on the game have never made a video game before. Let's get started!' What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah no wonder he can't see the issue. The game perfectly represent the world he lives in. Moving all game development to socal was the de4th of western gaming.
They tell ya without telling ya don't they? What 100+ years of Pravda, censorship, purchased reviews can do to stir up consumer interest in a product. Of course bad publicity is bad for a bad product. The difference here is we exist and we're not censored anymore. So our opinions will matter to those who see them. Get used to it.
Some people listen to their kind of motivational music while working out to get themselves hyped up, I listen to Boldemort while cleaning the house when it looks like a boss encounter because I ignored this responsability for a whole month.
He's the reason why God of War can be completed with the circle button alone. This guy got filtered in metroid tutorial stage, let that sink in. And no, to those who don't play Metroid, it's not like the helicopter from Armored Core 6.

This is the guy that made Twisted Metal. Twisted Metal Black, is one of the DARKEST games ever made. And he's been roped into the DEI cult. What a damn shame. RIP David Jaffe 2024.
Og GoW and Twisted Metal Black, some of my personal all time favorite games. With Jaffe being a huge part of the development of these amazing games, I was a fan of his work for a long time and even of his as well even despite his personal beliefs being the polar opposite of mine but he got to he too much for me a while back. Never thought he'd come back quite like this but here we are, what a shame
@bandawin18 exactly. Twisted Metal Black gave me a visceral reaction with the dark themes, imagery, and story back in the day. One of the few memories I have with my older brother is through Twisted Metal. I watched Jaffe after the TM show came out and thought to try and follow some of his stuff more, but didn't. At least I know it was for the better. I don't understand his view point, and apparently he has a trans kid or his kids friends are trans don't know for sure don't care, but I feel like the stuff he's said in this video is performative. And that is understandable given more context. Still writing him off, but at least I don't feel resentment about it.
That is a damn shame, I love Twisted Metal.

When Asmongold said "I am become grifter, destroyer of Dragon Age" I shed a tear. Pure cinema
Reminder that this pile of garbage was already up for a GOTY nomination *the day after release* , and Space Marine 2 didn’t even get a nod.
Never question whether or not there’s an agenda at play, because there is.
and wtf would it be? online is pure trash with no content. and the game is 6 hours long. it's a shell of a game. good gameplay with no content is just as shit as content but no gameplay.
@@U5mR I played it for an hour and was bored. I honestly don't get the SM2 hype either. It's a really crummy button-masher.
@@U5mR L take. I do not care how long a game is. If I enjoy absolutely every second of the experience like I and many other's did with Space Marine 2, it is objectively a good game. If your main criticism of a game is "there isn't enough of it" that is absolutely a mark of a good game. Always leave them wanting more. Play it again, try to do thing's differently, get really good at it. Or just appreciate it for what it is. Putting a marker on how long a game needs to be for it to be considered a good game is a very slippery slope. That's how you get games that drag on far longer than they need to and diminish their own accomplishments. That's how you end up with things that are buggy messes because there wasn't enough development time to iron out all the content equally. You also are not the arbiter of what is good game length and what is not. Personally any game that goes longer than 10 hours I am typically not interested in. I have too many things that consume my time in my life as it is, I cannot devote 100 hours to any singular piece of entertainment because I will miss out on 10 other incredible things in the process.
@@_uncreditedyeah, I looked for videos talking about how lacking it was. Never found any. It could have been great too. But it's too linear, too short, and missing basic features. I will say the lack of bugs were refreshing, but again, that is easy when you consider how small the game is.
@@jonathanst89 Basic features like? I remember when people actually made their points. It's a true sequel that's bigger and better than the original, does it not have endless replay value, sure. It's not cod's endless grind, it's about fun gameplay, which I feel the operations mode fulfills the desire for more as playing well with a squad feels epic.
People need to enjoy something for once goddamn.
You know what's truly sad? This man is the creator of both Twisted Metal and God of War, among other hard-edged, no bullshit kind of games. To see him talk like this just breaks my heart. You know this industry truly has failed us when even the OGs are fueling this delusional narrative.

Grifters grifting about grifting...griftception. Jokes aside though how can they ignore such blatant irony?
Griftception 👍 imma use that one in the future, thanks! Lolol
Because they are evil. That is why.
" I didn't finish Inquisition."I bet you he won't finish Veilguard either. 22 hours ain't nothing in an RPG game.
22 hours means he is on the first map of the game and with how little he knows about the games history/story he isn't even paying attention.
Which showcases that the only real reason he is defending it like many others who scream "YOU MUST PLAY TO TALK." Basically is only about ideology.
Same thing happened with Saints Row 2022 and quite a bit other games. These people aren't gamers they are grifters that want to push agendas.
"This is my personal GOTY, best game ever, 10/10... no I'm not going to play through it, it's boring and annoying ass sh**."
I've also heard numerous people saying (and I agree) that the game plays better at the beginning bc you still have the illusion that it's building up to something. Kinda like the Haven period in Inquisition that's mostly a long tutorial and then you get to Skyhold and the game opens up massively with roleplay and choices. And in Veilguard the more you play and realize "this is it, this is all it's gonna be until the end of the campaign" the more depressed you get.
Played for 22 hours just to say he played for 22 hours
Jaffe’s kid is trans, which is why he’s defensive about this stuff.
Totally makes sense now.
He seems like a nice guy though despite his terrible views on modern gaming 😅
That doesn't make any sense then. Unless he doesn't know his child at all.
Last thing I want as someone who's trans is wanting to see my problems being written like a caricature straight out of circus by people that not only don't understand it, but try to appeal to people like me by... reminding me about my irl problems while I try to relax and escape from them in games.

you know what is annoying the most for me? They make games that are both bad AND woke. After that, when you tell them that this game is bad because it is really BAD (with wokenes or without, it is bad), they tell you in return that you only hate the game because you are against gay people or something
UPD
I thought about it a little longer. In fact, they use wokenes as a defense against any criticism, even if it is completely objective criticism. I hope that the success of such projects as Space Marines 2, Stalker 2, Stellar Blade, etc. and the complete failure of "western" projects will finally make "western" developers understand that this no longer works
UPD2
And yes, there are some games with some "wokenes" elements such as Cyberpunk and BG3, I’m wondering if ubisoft developers has ever thought about why no one hates these games for wokenes, it seems to me that they haven’t thought about anything at all
Even when you question the wokeness to try to make a sincere discussion around it like asking why is this in this game that has nothing to do with the game. They will automatically think you are against LGBTQ and call you every buzzword word.
Tbf they went for esg angle for funding cuz they're not confident the games will sell on their own merit

STAND YOUR FUCKING GROUND, MAN!!
What makes DAV worse is that the writing is straight up just awful. Someonemade a video and rewrote Taash's scene of coming out to their mom and it sounded so much fucking better without losing the emotional weight that the original couldn't fucking muster. UA-camrs didn't kill DA, it was them. The writing team. The game director. Their fucking bosses. I hate how the story for dreadwolf and the concept arts clearly had a great idea behind it but nah, they wanted to just do their own shit. Yeah, i'm still mad
Which channel? This sounds interesting to watch
Here's a better and more profitable idea: how about just not including the worst companion to ever grace an Obsidian title in your game. Seems crazy I know. "Owning the Chuds" is the priority after all.
Dragon Age: Veilguard died like 42% of the other games this year...
And that 42% took a bunch of slop, games media and certain creators credibility with it. 🫡🪦
Jeeeeesus :D
Unlike DA, Baldur's Gate 3 never force gender on anyone. You can be if you want.
"Of course, people are allowed to dislike a game for multiple reasons ...."
Except those: DEI, DEI, DEI, DEI, DEI, DEI and DEI.
Because it makes you look batching crazy
There's no such thing as dei it's propaganda by right wing conspiracy theorists
This guy was pivotal in creating the original God of War, but we see how age has made him lose all his testosterone and now he is all soft modern.
Let us also not forget that the Metroid devs named a room in Metroid Dread the Jaffe Room (this guy's name is Jaffe) because he was filtered out in that room. All he had to do was shoot a destroyable ceiling/wall (an incredibly common mechanic in Metroid games when you find a "dead end"). His meltdown about the poor game design of Metroid Dread was so legendary even the devs came to mock him.
It's sad isn't it, how someone as a chad several decades ago has become this so soft of an old man.
He also made Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal Black.
And the ultimate blasphemy... wearing a DnD shirt.
"Why can't Metroid crawl?!"
Goes to show that he doesnt really deserve the credit we gave to him on those old classics.
"I've only played Inquisition and I didn't finish it" sounds to me like he can't say shit he wasn't there for the actual good games and he didn't finish the mediocre one.
Just listening to him you can tell he knows nothing about the lore
@@shinian6523 Not just the lore. He doesn't know much about the games in general. Didn't play 1 or 2, didn't finish 3, and isn't even halfway through 4. Yea...truly an authority on the series... /s
3:11 Asmo win but at what cost? 71 hour of his life thrown into the trash...
Only 71? That’s nothing for asmon
Jokes aside tho he made ton of money from playing it
well. those kind of games are good for streamers. they are so bad and cringe, it makes content itself. content where you laugh at the game
I mean he spent how many years playing WoW. 71 hours is literally a blink of the eye.
His child is actually trans (sacred symbols podcast source in which he talks about it)
Then he's even worse if he doesn't see it being portrayed in game as caricature that's not only condescending, but also completely out of place. I'd even say that it's presenting selfish and disrespectful view on these issues.
Bad writing killed Dragon Age
The current team deciding they didn't like what Dragon Age was, and so they retconned a LOT of past lore and then wiped out most of Thedas to do a reboot in their image. They hated DA Origins.
Woke shit did. The rest added
The game feels like a bunch of college students got lost on the way to their favorite coffee shop and ended up at a renissance fair.
@@Rogue-a-PogueI call it Califantasy, because it comes across as Californians playing dress up. We can thank Critical Role for that… 😒
10:40 Its not a conspiracy, its a religious faith. Conspiracy implies they do it secretly when they do it openly. You don't need to have secret meetings when everyone already has been inculcated into the tenets of the faith, and purged if they disagree.
To quote obi-wan kenobi "you have done that to yourself"
Remove "to"
"Say my name!"
"Asmonberg".
"You're goddamn right!"
The Bioware skinwalker killed Dragon Age.
"The Thing"
Jaffe is a joke, and has been for years.
edit: also, this guy is in his mid-50s, not 40 lol
People just don’t get it no matter how much you try to attack, blame or whatever, you can never hurt a good product if your game, movie, series, or whatever is good, nobody like NOBODY can stop its success. Nowadays these companies are doing shitty, terrible jobs after they fail miserably they put the blame on consumers pure hypocrisy
Michael Malice made perfect sense when explaining to someone on his podcast why their reaction to opposition was always so forceful. He linked the current 'forced behavior' strategy we are seeing from so many angles to Soviet Russia, and then told a story about how the people in the USSR didn't actually believe the lies they were told, they were just too beaten down to fight back against them. To paraphrase: 'We knew they were lying. They knew we knew. It's when we started fighting back against the lies that they realized they no longer controlled us.' THAT is why they go after the so-called 'haters, grifters, detractors, etc..' so forcefully.
Maybe the game just sucks? I wouldn't call angry Joe a grifter and he hates it more than most people.
Dragon age died the moment it came out. It’s incredible how a fantasy game can be so borderline trash. If any of y all played that trash and were left flaccid over the lack of a good fantasy story, go play metaphore. Trust me you will be thanking me
Dragon Age Origins is one of the best games of all time, it was made at biowares height. But i agree after that it went downhill
Some people seem to love it but I honestly think they're social rejects with no concept of a good story. They just want a feel-good cozy story mixed with some power fantasy. Because anything else gives them anxiety.
@@Atin_GamingI meant veilguard specifically 🤣
@@luske2I think the only people that enjoy it are kids that are either too young and very easily influenced by media ( which is kinda crazy that this whole thing of becoming trans in the game could influence the kids in the wrong way) or just very inexperienced gamers that just started playing video games
Asmongold The Grifter Killed Dragqueen's Rage, He Infiltrated BioWas Studios and Put all the Cringey Bullshit into the Game, Clear As Day
If anyone is grifting it's the guy in this video. Not Asmon.
On Twitter he was like “What is woke about this game? Clearly articulate to me.” Someone did that, and he completely ignored and disengaged. He’s an industry tool trying to be relevant.
They love to use the word grifter, but spreading propaganda and something for money is the definition of a grifter...The audacity...
Talk about Stellar Blade being "vanilla" yet showing the most generic action RPG game.
Do you know which RPG with party member that from a western studio I would recommend other to play? DA:Origins. Not Veilguard.
we went from "our voice doesnt matter" to "wow they killed our games"
make up your damn minds
'Alright, so we got this trillion dollar budget and 98% of the people who are going to be working on the game have never made a video game before. Let's get started!'
What could possibly go wrong?
"California time".... SHOCKER
Yeah no wonder he can't see the issue. The game perfectly represent the world he lives in.
Moving all game development to socal was the de4th of western gaming.
@MaxSoininen Korea, Japan and China will be the future of gaming if devs don't course correct quickly
They tell ya without telling ya don't they? What 100+ years of Pravda, censorship, purchased reviews can do to stir up consumer interest in a product. Of course bad publicity is bad for a bad product. The difference here is we exist and we're not censored anymore. So our opinions will matter to those who see them. Get used to it.
Anyone else think the old guy is the actual grifter? He sounds like he's trying to convince himself that this game is actually fun.
2:04 "Say my name."
Baldimort
"Say my name!"
Asmongold already sounds like the name of a low-level demon, and now people are treating him like one 😆
He is other worldly
Some people listen to their kind of motivational music while working out to get themselves hyped up, I listen to Boldemort while cleaning the house when it looks like a boss encounter because I ignored this responsability for a whole month.
He's the reason why God of War can be completed with the circle button alone. This guy got filtered in metroid tutorial stage, let that sink in. And no, to those who don't play Metroid, it's not like the helicopter from Armored Core 6.
