Dude just merged two most common influencers cancer comments into one, nice job. I've only seen people quoting "Disney graphics" and "cartoon" separately, depending on whose opinion they absorbed because they don't have their own.
It shouldn't really surprise anyone anymore: the old, legendary BioWare has been dead for a long time. Of all the individuals we have to thank for legendary RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, the first two Mass Effect games or Dragon Age Origins, hardly anyone is still working for this studio. BioWare only exists in name, but the talents that made BioWare what it was are long gone and the new BioWare has often shown (Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard and yes, it was already clear with ME3 and Inquisition) that they no longer have anything in common with the old BioWare. It's a shame, but on the other hand, other great RPG studios have taken BioWare's place (Larian, Owlcat, CDPR,...). RPG gaming is in a great state, but sadly without BioWare.
CDPR is falling quite quickly as well, since they openly stated to have embraced ESG a while back... I am not familiar with OwlCat, but fully agree with Larian as one of the few greats.
Guys it is very simple, don't buy it. The company will not change, the old guard has left, and even my most loved game Mass Effect will be even worse than DA. I won't buy this game and that will be my statement to those aholes.
@@redram6080 All gameplay in Origins needed was being fleshed out adding some mechanics such as boss movements some elemental resistances (that matter) to enemies increased on whole combo thing with mages and archers with whole "Make companion A.I. the way you want" it would be a hit that's what should have been in Inquisition not hack and slash, abandon open world nonsense Origins felt big enough as it is detailed linear path ALWAYS beats empty dead terrain and no Mabari doggos in three sequals shame on devs not surprising considering that new devs never played Origins.
A one dimensional ideolog is incapable of doing a good grounded story or gameplay, regardless of ideological orientation, because they lack the depth themselves
I always thought that the point of playing games was to experience a life different to your own. To be whatever your imagination could conjure. As for diversity, Krem from DA:I was trans and didn't make a big deal out of it because it wasn't the defining characteristic for his character, he was a badass. That's representing correctly.
Its not even the inclusion of LGBT representation. Games have had that for decades, Bioware had options for gay romances, etc before. Its that now thats such an integral part of their marketing, that when you have any critiques of gameplay, story, or whatever, the companies or developers fallback to a "Well, its the bigots hating it because its inclusive"
bioware was the main reason why i got into the animation industry. it's a real shame that they've gone in this direction. i dont believe this game will do well. i mean it will sell because of the main stream media hype but it will not be anything to write home about. just another 6/10 game
@ yes but a ‘realm-reborn’ situation (final fantasy 14 being remade essentially from the ground up into a behemoth of a game) could’ve made anthem great, the bones of the game were solid, lots of potential there.
@@Slackerzz- no it was a nasty vile soulless game and ea and bioware should of sued for false advertising it was nothing short of disgusting the money should of gone making a new dead space not anthem a dead game
The fact that some people think this is what lgbt people want in their games is crazy to me. All the lgbt gamers I know want the exact same thing we want, a good f-ing game where your choices matter, cool lore and some dragon and elven gods ºilling. Only twitter dwelling crazies want a game to be this abomination.
Dragon Age games have always been inclusive but that wasnt the only* thing that mattered before. I think you explained the situation well when these days especially how we talk or what we say is done so carefully
The integrity of the fantasy world is completely falling by the wayside here. You wouldn't make characters start saying "yolo" or "lit" all of a sudden. It would destroy all believability.
I hope it is possible to skip everything about the Transqunari plot. I will try out the game, because I subscriped to the EA APP anyway because I play Fifa esports. But if it really is as bad as I am afraid of, I will cancel my sub for the next year and stop playing fifa too. Even the latest Fifa is really even more a scam than the years before and if other ea games also suck, I wont need the EA App sub anymore. I canceled neftlix already, I canceled amazon prime because of their Lord of the rings disaster, I canceled Disney+ because of Acolyte and if Veilguard fails, I will cancel EA App too. I will not tolerate this crap anymore.

I wouldn't mind the whole 'companion coming out' or 'explore your gender identity' stuff, if it wasn't: 1) A dark fantasy series. Sorry, but the tone is just not right. This would feel more natural in a Life Is Strange type game, not here. Or at least not how they wrote it. 2) Taking center stage instead of, you know, fighting goddamn gods. It could work as a 'I need to get this off my chest before I face my potential end' scenario, but from what I've seen of Taash's coming out it lacks impact. 3) Nonsensical to the already established setting. This is a minor annoyance but why are there surgery scars in Thedas, a world where shapeshifting exists? And if it didn't exist during the time of Inquisition (Krem still uses binders despite being in a successful/expensive merc group) why now when Thedas is experiencing huge unrest? I'm trans, and this just irritates me because it doesn't fit in the setting. Either work it in to build on the setting, or leave it out please. What's sad is that they did it so well in Inquisition, all things considered. Krem was introduced as Iron Bull's lieutenant before the (albeit somewhat clunky) reveal that he is trans and then it's dropped, Krem's identity is more like trivia and is also used to expand on The Qun a little. And while being gay is a big part of Dorian's character, even having a confrontation with his homophobic dad, it doesn't distract from the major story and is also used to give a little insight into Tevinter culture. I still want to play Veilguard, but I'm treating it like an AU of established canon and will wait for a damn good sale.
I think the majority of people don't have an issue with the ideas in and of themselves, it's that those themes are being forcefully put into the story from a top-down position rather than naturally occurring in a story/narrative that makes sense to include it.
@@victorb5 Yeah, these ideas aren't bad in-and-of themselves, they're just being executed poorly and shoved in peoples faces. Sorry if I sounded accusatory, I know most people just want good narrative. On that note, I also don't agree with them taking away unsupportive responses. It takes away from people who don't want to agree, or see flaws in these views. Players should be allowed to express opinions, all opinions, when presented with these topics.
@@hazenwalterstroud7245 It didn't come across as accusatory to me, pretty reasonable in fact. People get so bent out of shape by other people's opinions these days, it's kind of amazing. Was a shame that it seemed like it had the foundation of what could've been a good game. Hope their primary takeaway is that narrative choice, well-written dialogue, and meaningful story are what made the game bad, not all the other identity stuff. Plenty of showcases of how that can be done well, they could've just reference BG3 for pete's sake.
This game feels like someone my daughter would have found amusing when she was NINE. The dialogue is so bad. So so bad. No adult speaks this way to other adults. Fantasy should be just that - fantasy. Not modern-day nonsense virtual signaling for brownie points literally no one asked for. I want a story that makes me think. I want to make difficult choices that affect the story, not surgery scar options that literally do not affect ANYTHING but which pronoun characters refer to each other as. This is a hard pass.
complaining about the customization scars seems a bit cringe in itself you can just ignore it, its not for you and other people play this game who would use those things. as for the animations/gameplay loop it does look a bit bad in that aspect its valid, the non binary thing I dunno depends on the context of the situation the fact it exists isnt the issue I would have to judge if it was put there in context for a good reason or just out of the blue.
I don't know if you've seen all of the non-binary and transgender scenes in this game, but I have. And I can promise you this if instead of the trans scenes they were replaced with scenes telling The character to be a good Christian, follow God, and go to church, these people would lose their marbles.
I expect the reviewers who were denied codes will tear it up like Matty and Skillup did and it will be toast then. Bioware needs 5 million copies sold to satisfy EA and I am not sure they can get there with this game in its current state.
Don't buy the game. Miss DA ? My grandson just reinstalled DA 1. He modded it to hell (From that modding site). It is like a new game. He brought back "the good old days". And, shhhhh, he added the 'adult mods'. LoL Sex with Morrigan! Oh please YES !!!!!!!!!!!
Very well put together video. This game may be a solid 7 or 8 but is overshadowed by this shit. You hit the point very well, we just dont care or want modern politics or agendas pushed into games. BG3 done it. The developers need to get off social media and focus on the game. Great video buddy!!!
Dragon Age Origins > You drink blood of a demon, avenge h@te crimes against elves you straight up get to be a blood mage Dragon Age 4kids > ......do I even need to put anything here? there is a dress conversation that is a lot longer than I thought it was going to be
The same enthusiastic tone of "Rings of Power" first introduction by, just to say, a certain actress who tought to be the first one to play a dwarf woman in a fantasy movie 😆
I have to LMFAO when ppl say DAVG looks like disney cartoon yet keep using Shrek for reference. Shrek IP belongs to Dreamworks which in turn belongs to Universal, not Disney. 😂😂😂😂 The visuals are cringe in the game, but at least get your companies straight
Can you kill monsters and take orders? Good, welcome to the team. No, spare me the details, I already know what I need to know. Why would anything else matter inside the story world? If - and only then - there arises a closeness as sometimes happens between warriors fighting back to back for weeks, that's the time to carefully begin sharing personal details like which gods you pray to, which order of society you believe is the right one, how you feel deep inside. Not in a big round, mind, but in private talks. Being in someone's face for silly stuff like "I want you to call me they not she!" between combat encounters is just preposterous, an absolute immersion breaker for anyone who has ever even heard of someone who's seen actual combat. Also, I'll call you "you" when I'm talking to you, I'll use your name when I reference you in a group, and how I'm talking about you when you're not there is my own business so spare me your pronouns as I'll never need them.
The solution for all this is actually simple: Vote with your wallet. Do not by it! Companies are create to MAKE MONEY. Not to make people happy. When they start to understand that besides not making money they are getting the usual customers really pissed off, they will have to stop to do this and go back to do what they were supposed to. Games you are compelled to play, without having to swallow any social SPAM. Ending with the feeling the it was worth ever cent of your had earned money.
Glad that we can all actually see now that they shit in the sandbox, and want us to continue to play in it... I play games for escapism, not to be indoctrinated into beliefs I do not, and will not possess. Not that I care if you're an adult and you want to hold your views, but I do not have to exist in your same space.
They're running out of IPs for me to be apathetic towards at this point. Should I just assume that a return to form for Bioware is some sort of AAA industry standard? I assumed by looking at the cover art that it was going to have a cash shop. So hard to believe that this was the same company that stole an entire summer of my early teens with Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.
A company is made up of the people who work there in my opinion. So I would say that it is in no way, shape, or form is it the same company who made BG2. Completely different people working there now. I'm thankful that I got to play gems like that when I was growing up as well. Feel bad for the kids whose norm is this garbage.
They weren't making a Dragon Age game. They made a cheesy dime store romance novel centered around gay fantasies. All safe and nice and inclusive and boring to the majority of the gaming community. There's a reason romance novels were mostly sold as paperbacks.
What we need is a comprehensive list of all of these co-opted games "journalists" and the crap games news sites that they work for - mush like Sweet Baby Detected on Steam.
They're using an IP to do what they want. Don't give a fuck about the gamers who bought the previous games. Should've made a new IP if they wanted to put out their stuff. But they knew it would flop if they did. So they used a beloved franchise to do it. Shame on them.
Well there is more evidence coming out that EA has been making an effort to limit who got the review copies, so that might have skewed things. And the Dragon Age IP will get a lot of pre-orders just because of its popularity, but if the game isn't actually great and it's just mainstream media outlets giving it an inflated high review score then it won't sell much more. Or maybe the people who are taking issue with the story/dialogue will turn out to be the minority. We'll just have to see how it goes in the coming weeks, but considering the divergence of this game from previous DA entries I think people are entitled to a bit of hyperbole over the franchise they supported was significantly changed.
Tbh, I dont dislike the graphics but the facial models of the characters. To me the game feels like made by someone highly skilled but totally woke. I was setiously impressed by the first gameplay reveal and honestly never expected such dialogues, with all the gender blender stuff. This simply means there was no actual writing in the game if this sh*t made it to the dialogues. Keep making scars on your characters, I am still enjoying dragons dogma 2.
It sounds heavy handed and a huge departure from previous games in the series, but perhaps if you were non binary or gay or whatever, you might see it very differently.
Its not the Studio is the key its the poeple that made these games. And those people are long gone and was left in case for Veilguard is an all women dev team. What could go wrong?
yeah, guess this is a pass for me or a deep deep sale before I dive into it. Then again based on a lot of reviews the quests etc aren't that good. I'll just replay the last DA or DA2 since I've never beat it.
10:20 Currently playing Drakensang 2 again (from 2010) and BG3 along with Skald against the Black Priory. I don't need Veilguard. I have better games already
I think what most 'gaming influencers' fail to recognize is that the 'gaming community' is much larger and more diverse than ever before. You speak of 'outcasts'' - don't you think every minority has felt like an outcast at some time? I think this game will sell well despite the accusations of wokeness. BioWare has always been inclusive and it's because of that inclusiveness that it's beloved by many fans outside of the typical stereotype of a gamer.
Sadly, there's a good chance this will win GOTY. Gamer's opinions and even sales figures mean nothing for GOTY awards, it's very corporate and more of a political contest at this point. What's even worse is how many copies will be bought by parents or grandparents who are ignorant of the propaganda in this game, and buy it as a Christmas gift for some kid to be brainwashed with. It's quite sickening...I'm lucky to have grown up in a time where games were just about fun.
100% agree. I play games for enjoyment. When I boot up an action RPG like GoWR I just want good story, RPG elements and ATLEAST decent combat. No real world BS please😢😂
Bioware is dead, this game is Dragon Age in name only.
Its been like that since the second game.
bioware is jsut a sticker on an EA door.
I honestly can't get over the Disney Graphics. Looks like a cartoon.
Sadly that the least of this games problems...
A shitty cartoon.
And I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Compare the graphics to DA Inquisition and you start to scratch your head in confusion. From Reddit, it was designed that way to insure the little kids could play the game on their cheap rigs. Always the lowest denominator that is ruining games.
Funny because the Skill Up video says Prince Charming from Shrek would fit right along with the cast and it's not wrong one bit.

So hard to believe that this was the same company that stole an entire summer of my early teens with Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.
A company is made up of the people who work there in my opinion. So I would say that it is in no way, shape, or form is it the same company who made BG2. Completely different people working there now. I'm thankful that I got to play gems like that when I was growing up as well. Feel bad for the kids whose norm is this garbage.
Glad I never played any of the Dragon Age games. Ended up saving myself the dissapointment.
Make a note of all the 'critics' that give this game 5 stars then proceed to never take them seriously ever again
They weren't making a Dragon Age game. They made a cheesy dime store romance novel centered around gay fantasies. All safe and nice and inclusive and boring to the majority of the gaming community. There's a reason romance novels were mostly sold as paperbacks.
This will cost Bioware/EA *EVERYTHING....*
I was already completely checked out, but after seeing the trans gender lecture with Isobella from DA2 I died inside.
The baddest of em all betrayed us all
I have 1800 hours played in BG3, Veilguard couldn’t touch that and yet they rate it higher at Eurogamer 😂
What we need is a comprehensive list of all of these co-opted games "journalists" and the crap games news sites that they work for - mush like Sweet Baby Detected on Steam.
They're using an IP to do what they want. Don't give a fuck about the gamers who bought the previous games. Should've made a new IP if they wanted to put out their stuff. But they knew it would flop if they did. So they used a beloved franchise to do it. Shame on them.
Favourable reviews and high pre-orders is 'crash and burn'? Weird.
Well there is more evidence coming out that EA has been making an effort to limit who got the review copies, so that might have skewed things. And the Dragon Age IP will get a lot of pre-orders just because of its popularity, but if the game isn't actually great and it's just mainstream media outlets giving it an inflated high review score then it won't sell much more. Or maybe the people who are taking issue with the story/dialogue will turn out to be the minority. We'll just have to see how it goes in the coming weeks, but considering the divergence of this game from previous DA entries I think people are entitled to a bit of hyperbole over the franchise they supported was significantly changed.
@@victorb5 17 hours in, it's awesome. The strong reviews were deserved.
I just listened to a trans dude tear this game apart for all the same reasons
Sacrificing the game for real world politics and forced inclusion
Veilguard gives off *created by a Disney Adult* vibes.
For some reason, woke writers put themselves into these games. We wanna see the world of thedas, not planet earth.
Lol
Its ded because random people on the internet say it is.
Never gets old, that joke.
I bet the “non binary myself” guy totally enjoyed the game more because they/them was an option 🙄
Let's see how many games a "dead" company can sell...
Tbh, I dont dislike the graphics but the facial models of the characters. To me the game feels like made by someone highly skilled but totally woke. I was setiously impressed by the first gameplay reveal and honestly never expected such dialogues, with all the gender blender stuff. This simply means there was no actual writing in the game if this sh*t made it to the dialogues. Keep making scars on your characters, I am still enjoying dragons dogma 2.
It sounds heavy handed and a huge departure from previous games in the series, but perhaps if you were non binary or gay or whatever, you might see it very differently.
why am I not subscribed to this channel? I know I subscribed back when diablo 4 came out!!
It’s our brand new second channel!!!! Thank you for subscribing!!!
I pre ordered the game and as soon as I saw this stuff I refunded. I cannot support that game.
Sorry but it's been enstablished that woke designers and creator cannot do their job.
Why tf do they keep hiring them?
Welcome to Drag-Queen Age.
Its not the Studio is the key its the poeple that made these games.
And those people are long gone and was left in case for Veilguard is an all women dev team. What could go wrong?
I identify as non-buynary.
Just play JRPGs from now on. I recommend Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Tales of Arise if that's too "Anime" for you.
Top tier as usual guys ❤️
Thank you brother much love!
Since Taash changed her pronouns, does the player have freedom to ignore that bulls**t? You now "choices matter" tag...
RIP (old) Bioware 🙏
1:00 you should remember Bioware by Baldur's Gate, everything else that came came from that amazing game
Dragon Age ended on Inquisition. Or just the Origin.
yeah, guess this is a pass for me or a deep deep sale before I dive into it. Then again based on a lot of reviews the quests etc aren't that good. I'll just replay the last DA or DA2 since I've never beat it.
So disappointed. I really liked Origins and Inquisition. Was waiting for this game for a long time…
Another one who bring BG3 to make a point about woke. Not even WotC woke move tolerated the crap Larian did, and with Tencent money more so.
i identify myself as a non-buynary
Just don't buy it and support it as simple as that.
I will not play a game like this!
I will bw using this game as a bs benchmark for reviewers if majority are saying it bad and ign give a 10 to this amd not elden ring it says it all
EA DEI TO THE WOKE.
10:20 Currently playing Drakensang 2 again (from 2010) and BG3 along with Skald against the Black Priory. I don't need Veilguard. I have better games already
I think what most 'gaming influencers' fail to recognize is that the 'gaming community' is much larger and more diverse than ever before. You speak of 'outcasts'' - don't you think every minority has felt like an outcast at some time? I think this game will sell well despite the accusations of wokeness. BioWare has always been inclusive and it's because of that inclusiveness that it's beloved by many fans outside of the typical stereotype of a gamer.
Thanks for the video skyy
Play space marine 2 instead, you will thank me
Sir, Spot on. I posted same remark before I read yours!!! The Emperor Protects*
Sadly, there's a good chance this will win GOTY. Gamer's opinions and even sales figures mean nothing for GOTY awards, it's very corporate and more of a political contest at this point. What's even worse is how many copies will be bought by parents or grandparents who are ignorant of the propaganda in this game, and buy it as a Christmas gift for some kid to be brainwashed with. It's quite sickening...I'm lucky to have grown up in a time where games were just about fun.
The game is so good. Don't let the haters get to you.
Haters=People with standards.
😎
@@ban1sh3db3ast Yes, only ONE set of standards can exist at one time. How illluminating.
Dragon age can't make me gay cause I'm non-buynary!!
This game identify as dragon age
It's actually really good. Don't believe reviews and play it for yourselves.
Even Baldur Gate 3 low key allow free gender picking doesn’t shove it down your throat with the tag
Well said.. i dont know why I bought this game lol.. cant afford more one game every few months, so i'll be stuck with this one....
2:10 don't blame and insult JRPGs for this trainwreck of Pixarfication and Disneyfication lol
100% agree. I play games for enjoyment. When I boot up an action RPG like GoWR I just want good story, RPG elements and ATLEAST decent combat. No real world BS please😢😂
As much as you want it, because you obviously want this bad. But alas, it isn’t so.
