YES. and the the easier it gets to find REAL reviews online the more rational game consumers become. They are getting so scared that the veil is no longer opaque. RIP TB i bet he is smiling up there
I imagine it's difficult to go from the center of information to irrelevance. The egos of these people are probably enormous. A lot to find out you're just another one of the common folk
they are absolutely delusional - Vice journo called gamers` preferences- " a noise" . And he still can`t see how this article damages his points. It is ridiculous :D
Just remember, game journalism killed "Days Gone" and that game is praised by the ppl and youtube. Its a damn shame I loved that game. IGN need to go in a corner and rot.
Critics/journalism are definitely a double-edged sword, unfortunately. Sometimes, it can save people from buying a bad game that is actually bad, and then sometimes, a good game can be unjustly and falsely thrown under the bus by critics/journalists, and then a lot of people don't buy or support the game because they were told it's bad by the critics/journalists. A third case, is when critics/journalists lie and say that a bad game is actually a good game, when it's not, and a lot of people get fooled into buying a bad game because the critics/journalists said so. That is why the best thing you can do, is your own investigation and research into the matter, and find out if the game actually is as bad as critics/journalists say, or if a game is as good as journalists say, or if they were wrong/paid off/lying/biased/etc.
How right you are. If someone invented a cancer curing compound tomorrow, you'd have these "games journalists" trying to explain why that's a bad thing. I absolutely love how they are screaming trying to maintain relevance when everyone is laughing at them.
and the funny thing is... you get stupid people that will clap their hands like seals and go "Yasss queen slay". Those people are not real fans. They are not even real people, they are vapid, shallow husks created by consumerist diversity drives. I am gay myself and I fecking can't stand how shallow some of my younger peers have become.
Many gamers know it, even I know it. Assassins creed has lost its meaning because team developers change and decided to go W0ke for some reason. That will never make the game any better. We are tired of it.
Even without the culture stuff, that series has been nothing but a brand husk for 10 years now. And Black Flag had almost none of the original conceit in it IIRC - I'm only including it because of how awesome it was just as a game.
13:10 meanwhile THEY turn the game on and immediately say it's a 10/10 masterpiece goty because it has pronouns, completely ignoring the game-relevant flaws
The only people I listen to for gaming news are people like Endymion and others because they don't TELL me to like something. They give me info and let me decide on my own.

The ideological push in this game is repulsive and unavoidable, although many defenders of Veilguard like to say that those things are optional and then I wonder if they even played the game, because these things always pop up somewhere when you least expect it. Ignoring Taashes questline locks you out of a huge chunk of area to explore. The dialogue about her questioning her identity starts automatically as you open the door to the kitchen after some time you have recruited her, Neve is standing there with her so you locked out of dialogues with Neve for some time and Lucanis because the way to him is through kitchen, that's if you tried to ignore it. After this conversation she contacts the Shadow Dragons that know all about this "gender stuff" for some reason, of course they have two trans characters high in the ranks too. After you do Taashes quest you will get a dialogue with her and Lucanis talking about how there are many non-binaries within the Crows. The governor of Treviso is also a they/them and it's one of the main missions you have to do to progress in the story. You want to do some side quests for the Wardens? Then prepare for the NPC who doesn't fail to mention that he is non-binary even though it's completely unrelated to that quest. Suddenly it feels like in Thedas being non-binary, queer or otherwise is such a common thing to be, when in previous games you could choose to be surprised when a companion mentioned that they merely like the company of the same sex. Some examples: in DAO Zevran literally asks you if you are okay with him liking men (and you can disagree), in DA2 you can ask Fenris during one romance scene if he’s hesitant because you are a man, in one party banter Bethany is surprised at the fact that Isabela also likes women, in DAI you have entire questline of Dorian and his father about how he wanted to magically turn him straight, because although allowed, being in a same sex relationship is frowned upon in Tevinter, you can also choose to be surprised at the fact that he doesn't like women. So that being said, being even of a different orientation is not common or favorable in Thedas. But in Veilguerd you are being bombarded with characters with different pronouns or characters not feeling good in their body and your Rook is a mobile 24/7 therapist for everyone in this game, and a push over. This game is a joke and slap to the face for us who are the fans of this franchise.
I hate how Veilguard was as bad as we all expected it to be. I mostly hate it because Mass Effect has a special place in my heart, and the idea they're making a tv show and a sequel game just sours my mood.
It’s even worse than I expected. I lost all hope and respect for bioware years ago but this game being so infected with this shit surprised the hell out of me. As bad as I knew they had gotten, I didn’t think they had gotten anywhere near THIS bad. Mass Effect is my favorite video game franchise by far, I even enjoyed Andromeda more than I probably should have, but I’m actually a little sad, something I don’t get, that it’s being butchered by these people.
Just do like I (and many) do with Star Wars - Deny the existence of anything after a certain cut off point. Don't let it taint your enjoyment and memory of the good parts. Never played Andromeda for the same reason, so why should we acknowledge a game we all know is going to be even worse... Let alone watch a TV show of it, yikes! Videogame Adaptions were generally bad at the best of times already...
Well said. What made Mass Effect worthwhile was it was a game about good and evil when you break it all down. Just like the companies of today. Woke Liberalism is the new evil. As evil can only destroy, and never create.
Yep. It's just the communists getting their panties in a bunch because we don't want their woke garbage shoved down our throats. Typical communism tactics are to accuse your opposition of what you are doing, in order to cause chaos and confusion. The only ones who are destroying gaming are the woke commie developers and the woke commie journalists. It's all their fault. Period.
Evils in Veiguard . We are evil . But why ? We are evil . What do you want to do and why ? We are evil . Yes but that is the point that is you goal ? We are evil .
Because it's delusional losers living in their own silly delusions. They are blind to reality. When you are blind to reality, then you are doomed to fail. Just natural law playing out.
The gaming industry is in a constant decline since it became more and more identity politically based. We had diversity in games for decades and no one cared, the problem is not diversity, the problem is how childish, forced and uncreatively it is implemented in today's day and age. We don't have the same writing quality as we did before, name me one person today that could be a competition to a J.R.R Tolkien... You can't? As I thought.
Political period. Personal real world politics do not belong in entertainment in any way, shape, or form. Same exact reason I stopped watching football years ago, the 1 thing a year I looked forward to and actually got excited for.
Modern society is just the state of stagnancy that would affect any other, the only people I can think of that could be an equivalent to a modern day Rockefeller regarding their legacy on the industry they specialize in are Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
Like someone tell : in tyranny’s era speaking true will be revolutionary act. Also Saint Augustine wrote that will be time when crazy and abnormal people tell everyone one that they are normal and when meet someone normal then start screaming: look this one is crazy and telling lies.
5:15 Just regular coffee? Not even a magical blend? So you mean to tell me in a world of magic, spells and potions, coffee keeps the demon at bay? Good lord, they didn't even try, no imagination at all.
I just got banned on a sub Reddit for talking about this. All they want to do is change games for the worst and silence anyone who disagrees with the changes
EA / Bioware: we are thankful to our dedicated and motivated development team that made Dragon Age Failguard possible. And we also are proud that our new game is part of our long track record of successful games. And we look forward to the future of what the community is experiencing in playing this innovative and fun to play game. True pride and accomplishment! The gaming community: nice words of saying that we totally screwed up and alienated our fan base
This is exactly why video game journalists are a joke & why video game UA-camrs have more credibility than them. The journalists are clearly biased, hating on the audience that want an awesome narrative in a cool, badass world. We don't want sanitized, toned down slop. Cater to your audience.
They chasing an audience they are trying to create. The problem is videogames aren't a college campus, or work place where people feel forced to fall in line. I'll spend my money on the games that appeal to me.
The problem isn't that it's woke but they handled "wokeness" really bad that it's cringey. Most Dragon Age games and fantasy games in general is woke. I.E multiple romance partners, questioning the government, gender diversity, racial diversity. Most of these fantasy games are social commentary about the real world whether its politics, social problems, etc, but DA is written like a fanfic about LGBTQ+ problems from a 12 year old.
Devs- “these games aren’t made for you”. Gamers- “don’t buy the game”. Devs- “Chuds destroyed our game”. The entitlement to our money is on another level🤣🍻
I'm 75, have never gamed, probably never will, but I found you and Dr. K, and and have followed both of you for almost a year. Why? I'm interested in learning about a topic (gaming) that lies outside my environmental sphere, but evidently appeals to millions of individuals. I truly enjoy your objective commentary and point of view. I'm subscribed and click "Like" in each of your videos. Thanks so much. I truly appreciate the education you provide. Best wishes.
@@hobosapiensSinceShadowMoses Thank you so much for your reply! I do enjoy watching Asmongold game on UA-cam. You are SO correct! I love the escapism of the stories and color and engagement. I'll never buy the hardware I need to game, but if you can suggest any other YT channels where I can watch an individual game, I surely will be thinking kind thoughts of you while watching them. Best wishes!
And here I am with Space Marine 2. First ever Warhammer 40k game I ever played and it made me a fan of the lore apart from the extremely enjoyable and rewarding gaming experience after I put 155 hours in Black Myth Wukong. And as a someone who loved DA Inquisition... I didn't even bother buying Veilguard. 😂
I wish I hadn't bought it. It's horribly written, the story is spotty at best, and it's just such a disappointment as a longtime fan. I'm almost 40 hours in and I'm hate-finishing it at this point, because I spent $70 on this. 😑
@@rclaws3230 Well, we have nothing to look forward from western game developers apart from few like Saber. Witcher, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and many more have already fallen for the DEI and leftist propaganda instead of making good games. Now only looking up to games made by Asian Devs because they know what people actually want.
I am native from a rez and when AC 3 came out I was pretty happy about it being about the tribes I am literally from and the fact that they got some of our elders and native language speakers to work on the game was awsome. It sucks for ppl in Japan to have a AC game finally get to them and then they make it about a black samurai. Feel bad for them bc it was pretty damn cool to play as a mohawk and hear the actual language. The developers seem like they did not care about the Japanese ppl.
They don’t care about any culture. They use and create false narratives about cultures for the sole purpose of manipulating the masses to believe in their satanic agenda.
The previous developers that worked on AC3 seem to care about research as they looked into the customs of the tribes during the American Revolution. The current ones that are simps for the woke hype and have worked on ac shadows don't care about that at all. Keyword 'research'.
Assassins creed was known to be such a stickler for historical accuracy through research, that they removed crossbows from ac1.. could never have thought they would struggle with portraying a proper character that was at least a native from the region.. no, Naoe doesn't count because Japanese have been (and still is) a very patriarchal society and women were mostly kept away from combat roles, so her being an assassin makes no sense. (especially when she is seen in most footage with a katana on her back.. that would stick out like a sore thumb in that society, where carrying a sword by anyone other than nobility was not allowed.. even more so by a woman)
One thing that separates you & independent YT creators is authenticity. I went off MSM in 2012 so been long-term viewer of independent media. Congratulations on the 300k subs friend!
All FACTS‼️💯👍🏿👍🏿 I’m tired of dealing with these people that love the smell of their own farts so much so that they themselves can’t understand that they are ruining the industry that they want to be a part of or rather control. We as gamers will never allow this or at least, I won’t stay quiet while they ruin our world that we as real gamers are actually ingrained in. Keep the videos coming my friend‼️💯👍🏿👍🏿😎
I just showed my kids the, "smug alert" hybrid vehicle episode of Southpark. Bro that episode was that was made in 2006. Southpark has been cutting deep for decades. Now my 7 year old keeps asking me to watch Southpark but of course I have to vet the episodes beforehand. Her favorite is the Japanese toilet one, because we're a bidet family and she's heard the, "why would you want to walk around with poop on your anus" sermon a hundred times from me.
Stop buying their games. If the game forces DEI on you, put the dev on a blacklist for at least 5 future titles. I know, I know... they never seem to learn. Ever. At this point it looks like we're actually gonna see the death of the videogame market, because they simply won't stop. But, I also know in the end execs love money more than woke ideology, and that's why something has to give sooner or later. We'll know when the shift comes, and that's when a big shot exec finally opens his mouth (because you know it will be a guy) and speaks out about the madness, and how his dev company will steer away from it. He'll not only speak out against the ideology, but also against specific shills who's been running the industry for a decade now. It's not gonna be this disingenous HR friendly message that says everything and nothing. It's gonna be some harsh worded pariah shit, from a rogue dev that just wanna make amazing, successful games.
Congrats on the 300k, bro. Keep up your good work. And no, nobody needs any kind of journos. They are an obsolete construct who have driven themselves to obsoletion and irrelevance.
1:07 Funny thing is, the writer probably thinks the people talking about DEI in The Veilguard aren’t talking about the actual game itself. That’s the problem, the DEI *IS* the game.
Elves are supposed to be a unified people. As a black man seeing forced inclusiveness bothers me. I don't want black and Asian elves that conflict with the games lore solely for the sake of diversity
Dude, that article is one of the most ridiculously unintentionally hilarious things I have ever seen in almost six decades! The subject matter of topic is extremely repulsive to many, and at least aggravating and irritating to the vast majority. The tactics have been consistently overblown, far against any logic, and forced. Jurinalism in all forms is OVER. Let's all continue to MAKE FRINGE FRINGE AGAIN! Now, let's also see how long my comment is up before YT tries for the 1001st time to tell me "You can't say that!" Sure I can, and did.
"Without games journalists, the gaming industry will fall apart overnight!" Fantastic. I would like to expedite this process so that eastern gaming can take over.
I made this same comment about SW outlaws and got reprimanded on Reddit for sexism and bigotry. The only point I made was that literally every quest giver and main character was female. Even half of the stormtroopers and officers were female. Am I against women in games? Heck no! However it seems so forced and doesn’t match previous movies or games.
This is exactly why we don’t need gaming jornos anymore. They are a lost cause and have sold their souls completely. We are fine getting our info and reviews from UA-cam and Steam thank you very much.
Is the demon-possessed companion in Veilguard just a Malus Darkblade rip-off from Warhammer Fantasy? I mean, Malus' pet man-eating dinosaur is named Spite and he's possessed by a demon. Edit: Not to mention Malus *also* needs to drink elixirs to stay awake so the demon doesn't take over.
Journalism, among the mainstream, has been dead for some time. Whether it's news, movie, or game reviews, it's rare if ever there is any journalism involved whatsoever. It's time to call them what they are -- Ads. Their one time integrity and investigative curiosity has been bought and paid for. Oftentimes, they don't even use their own WORDS to write the puff piece they've been commissioned to put out. That's why so many reviews regurgitate the same language.
I don’t pay attention to game journalists at this point. Aside from the fact I can’t stand being spammed with ads on main sites, their reviews are essentially trash.
UA-camrs are to journalists what video was to the radio star. Just looking at Morrigans character design with her fringe under her head band shows they had no care for the characters. The kind of people that hate honest critique are those ppl who want force their opinions on others without discussion, they turn off comments, block you etc.
I tactically 🏴☠️ acquired this. The first hour I was like, "This is pretty fun, though bland." But now I'm currently modifying Mass Effect LE. So, yeah that shit got boring as hell.
its honestly good when the reviewers do this because it shows their hand, like it shows how everything works behind the scenes. I wonder when they stopped actually reviewing the games and started selling scores?
I listened to gaming journalists back when they were the types who actually had a passion for gaming. Now many of them are just activists who hate gamers. I have no reason to listen to people who hate me.
In Mass Effect I don't remember people raising a big stink about Joker and EDI. But that was because they were both really well written characters. I miss old BioWare..
Congrats for the 300k! You earned it, you let your personal biases known but report on the other points of view. Thats makes for a well rounded take, something the MSM has forgotten how to do.
Didn’t expect to watch your entire video but so much truth was spoken. Plus you saved me the time and money of playing it + make videos about it. Great work!
Because they live in an identity cult, the concept that people are individuals that agree their game sucks is alien to them. They have to believe others just follow their cult like they follow theirs and if they can cancel the voices of what they perceive as cult leaders, they will make sales. Somehow that's easier than figuring out the market and making games that appeal to that market....
Honestly the only gaming studio I actually trust to do a story that has diversity and inclusive stuff in it is Larian. They managed to do it without it being shoved down your throat and was left pretty much up to the player.
😂😆😂😆 I almost choked to death on my Gatorade when you said they were complaining about "Journalistic Integrity"😂😆😂😆. The same people that have taken that same exact thing and threw it out the window to get their points and activism out to the masses for years now , and now they finally losing the war they want others to be held to a standard they couldn't even hold themselves to. 😂 Give me a f#&kin break 🙄 🤡🤡🤡
My sympathies for you having to play through that piece of garbage Failguard. As far as I'm concerned there are only 2 Dragon Age games. it was already going downhill in Inquisition, just not to the extreme degree as now.
Thank you for watching! Now they're trying to blame UA-camrs for this problem they created. And Assassin's Creed is cooked & that's also our faults now too

Ubisoft has no idea on how to read the room. Gamers despise Assassin's Creed Shadows even before the game is released.
Think they were too far along, too up their own asses, too self affirmed, to even entertain a change.

I hate how Veilguard was as bad as we all expected it to be. I mostly hate it because Mass Effect has a special place in my heart, and the idea they're making a tv show and a sequel game just sours my mood.
It’s even worse than I expected. I lost all hope and respect for bioware years ago but this game being so infected with this shit surprised the hell out of me. As bad as I knew they had gotten, I didn’t think they had gotten anywhere near THIS bad.
Mass Effect is my favorite video game franchise by far, I even enjoyed Andromeda more than I probably should have, but I’m actually a little sad, something I don’t get, that it’s being butchered by these people.
Just do like I (and many) do with Star Wars - Deny the existence of anything after a certain cut off point. Don't let it taint your enjoyment and memory of the good parts.
Never played Andromeda for the same reason, so why should we acknowledge a game we all know is going to be even worse...
Let alone watch a TV show of it, yikes! Videogame Adaptions were generally bad at the best of times already...
yea sadly they will woke /fu%k that up as much as the game devs do chasing a modern audience
I was a HUGE fan of both franchises. I'm real sad
Just pretend all of this is bad fanfiction. That's how I do it for Star Wars and it works
8:27 I wasn't aware that former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, was an elf in Veilguard. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
UA-camrs arent destroying gaming. Their exposing it. Villians usually get big mad when their plans are discovered and made public.
Well said. What made Mass Effect worthwhile was it was a game about good and evil when you break it all down. Just like the companies of today. Woke Liberalism is the new evil. As evil can only destroy, and never create.
They're
Yep. It's just the communists getting their panties in a bunch because we don't want their woke garbage shoved down our throats. Typical communism tactics are to accuse your opposition of what you are doing, in order to cause chaos and confusion. The only ones who are destroying gaming are the woke commie developers and the woke commie journalists. It's all their fault. Period.
This is a heroic rpg saga. The villain is wef dei
As a guy I've been raised to not give a s*** about people's feelings. I'm not going to start now
Great, their attacking will only help build your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you I will! 🤘🏻🔥
@@EndymionTvI don't even play PC games but I've watched multi videos of yours explaining this woke nonsense failing in games. Great work
Kissing a little butt are you?
Evils in Veiguard . We are evil . But why ? We are evil . What do you want to do and why ? We are evil . Yes but that is the point that is you goal ? We are evil .
It’s hilarious because this was seen coming a mile away by everyone else but them lol
Because it's delusional losers living in their own silly delusions. They are blind to reality. When you are blind to reality, then you are doomed to fail. Just natural law playing out.
We need to get game studios out of places like Seattle, California, and Canada.
The gaming industry is in a constant decline since it became more and more identity politically based. We had diversity in games for decades and no one cared, the problem is not diversity, the problem is how childish, forced and uncreatively it is implemented in today's day and age. We don't have the same writing quality as we did before, name me one person today that could be a competition to a J.R.R Tolkien... You can't? As I thought.
Political period. Personal real world politics do not belong in entertainment in any way, shape, or form. Same exact reason I stopped watching football years ago, the 1 thing a year I looked forward to and actually got excited for.
Steven Erikson, Malazan Saga. I agree with your point though.
Me, I am the competition to Tolkien.
No, not really. I just think outlandish lies are funny.
Modern society is just the state of stagnancy that would affect any other, the only people I can think of that could be an equivalent to a modern day Rockefeller regarding their legacy on the industry they specialize in are Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
It's not just that, it's since they got marketing consultants in and they started focusing on rinsing players and creating products as opposed to art.
So, gamers need games 'journalists'? Let's test that little theory, shall we...
Yeah, apparently they forgot about the crash of 1983. Perhaps, its time to remind them.
BRING 👏🏻 BACK 👏🏻 GATEKEEPING 👏🏻
And this time put on like 20 deadbolts and biometrics.
Let's buy IGN just to close it down.
Mad at you telling the truth.
I give you one peppermint, make sure you spend it well.
Like someone tell : in tyranny’s era speaking true will be revolutionary act.
Also Saint Augustine wrote that will be time when crazy and abnormal people tell everyone one that they are normal and when meet someone normal then start screaming: look this one is crazy and telling lies.
5:15 Just regular coffee? Not even a magical blend? So you mean to tell me in a world of magic, spells and potions, coffee keeps the demon at bay? Good lord, they didn't even try, no imagination at all.
_”The necessity of games journalism.”_
Guess honesty and genuine criticisms doesn’t apply here 😒
I just got banned on a sub Reddit for talking about this. All they want to do is change games for the worst and silence anyone who disagrees with the changes
All this boring and messed up slop meeds to fail!
Preach 🙌
The gameplay is not even good either it's just a garbage version of Granblue Fantasy.
Thank you Endymion for doing real journalist work. That's why they hate you.
Hail Endymion! :D
EA / Bioware: we are thankful to our dedicated and motivated development team that made Dragon Age Failguard possible. And we also are proud that our new game is part of our long track record of successful games. And we look forward to the future of what the community is experiencing in playing this innovative and fun to play game. True pride and accomplishment!
The gaming community: nice words of saying that we totally screwed up and alienated our fan base
This is exactly why video game journalists are a joke & why video game UA-camrs have more credibility than them. The journalists are clearly biased, hating on the audience that want an awesome narrative in a cool, badass world. We don't want sanitized, toned down slop. Cater to your audience.
There are woke UA-cam gamer channels, too. Yay diversity!
@@PaulaBeanor the toxic positivity youtubers that just handwave all reasonable critique.
They chasing an audience they are trying to create. The problem is videogames aren't a college campus, or work place where people feel forced to fall in line.
I'll spend my money on the games that appeal to me.
The problem isn't that it's woke but they handled "wokeness" really bad that it's cringey. Most Dragon Age games and fantasy games in general is woke. I.E multiple romance partners, questioning the government, gender diversity, racial diversity.
Most of these fantasy games are social commentary about the real world whether its politics, social problems, etc, but DA is written like a fanfic about LGBTQ+ problems from a 12 year old.
EndymionTv deserves your subscription!
Devs- “these games aren’t made for you”.
Gamers- “don’t buy the game”.
Devs- “Chuds destroyed our game”.
The entitlement to our money is on another level🤣🍻
Exactly.. it’s the entitlement for me. The game was made for modern audiences and we are ancient audience. It’s not for us why blame us??
@@miikaaelq5798 We have a serious problem with entitled liars these days, but it's okay, we got something called a woodchipper.
I'm 75, have never gamed, probably never will, but I found you and Dr. K, and and have followed both of you for almost a year. Why? I'm interested in learning about a topic (gaming) that lies outside my environmental sphere, but evidently appeals to millions of individuals. I truly enjoy your objective commentary and point of view. I'm subscribed and click "Like" in each of your videos. Thanks so much. I truly appreciate the education you provide. Best wishes.
Sir, it's never too late for some escapism with many games from decades with beautiful story and art. Try Disco elysium
@@hobosapiensSinceShadowMoses Thank you so much for your reply! I do enjoy watching Asmongold game on UA-cam. You are SO correct! I love the escapism of the stories and color and engagement. I'll never buy the hardware I need to game, but if you can suggest any other YT channels where I can watch an individual game, I surely will be thinking kind thoughts of you while watching them. Best wishes!
I'm 71 and have played Masseffect to death, a great game
@@KarlSchmitt-yk5cc Thank you!
And here I am with Space Marine 2. First ever Warhammer 40k game I ever played and it made me a fan of the lore apart from the extremely enjoyable and rewarding gaming experience after I put 155 hours in Black Myth Wukong.
And as a someone who loved DA Inquisition... I didn't even bother buying Veilguard. 😂
I wish I hadn't bought it. It's horribly written, the story is spotty at best, and it's just such a disappointment as a longtime fan. I'm almost 40 hours in and I'm hate-finishing it at this point, because I spent $70 on this. 😑
If you got steam or a ps3/xbox 360, i highly recommend Space Marine 1. It is as glorious as the second game. I assure you you'll like it.
Came in late, you're just in time to watch it fall apart.
Now play true RPG Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, dialogues and choices just amazing, how you not know about it? People who made Pathfinder games made it
@@rclaws3230 Well, we have nothing to look forward from western game developers apart from few like Saber. Witcher, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassins Creed and many more have already fallen for the DEI and leftist propaganda instead of making good games. Now only looking up to games made by Asian Devs because they know what people actually want.
For a guy on his couch, your videos are class. Keep em up. :D
Gamers don't need games journalism, we have the UA-camrs who are way more honest and play the game in front of us.
If you have to state how important you are, you aren't that important.
I am native from a rez and when AC 3 came out I was pretty happy about it being about the tribes I am literally from and the fact that they got some of our elders and native language speakers to work on the game was awsome.
It sucks for ppl in Japan to have a AC game finally get to them and then they make it about a black samurai. Feel bad for them bc it was pretty damn cool to play as a mohawk and hear the actual language. The developers seem like they did not care about the Japanese ppl.
They don’t care about any culture. They use and create false narratives about cultures for the sole purpose of manipulating the masses to believe in their satanic agenda.
I felt the same way.
The previous developers that worked on AC3 seem to care about research as they looked into the customs of the tribes during the American Revolution. The current ones that are simps for the woke hype and have worked on ac shadows don't care about that at all. Keyword 'research'.
Missed the days where devs really care about their crafts. Nowadays just morons who care about themselves 😢
Assassins creed was known to be such a stickler for historical accuracy through research, that they removed crossbows from ac1.. could never have thought they would struggle with portraying a proper character that was at least a native from the region.. no, Naoe doesn't count because Japanese have been (and still is) a very patriarchal society and women were mostly kept away from combat roles, so her being an assassin makes no sense. (especially when she is seen in most footage with a katana on her back.. that would stick out like a sore thumb in that society, where carrying a sword by anyone other than nobility was not allowed.. even more so by a woman)
"this is the disney fischer price version" SPOT ON!
We follow our favourite UA-camr reviews because they've become what the mainstream used to be.
Paid chills is what they are. Zero integrity.
One thing that separates you & independent YT creators is authenticity. I went off MSM in 2012 so been long-term viewer of independent media.
Congratulations on the 300k subs friend!
All FACTS‼️💯👍🏿👍🏿
I’m tired of dealing with these people that love the smell of their own farts so much so that they themselves can’t understand that they are ruining the industry that they want to be a part of or rather control.
We as gamers will never allow this or at least, I won’t stay quiet while they ruin our world that we as real gamers are actually ingrained in.
Keep the videos coming my friend‼️💯👍🏿👍🏿😎
I just showed my kids the, "smug alert" hybrid vehicle episode of Southpark. Bro that episode was that was made in 2006. Southpark has been cutting deep for decades. Now my 7 year old keeps asking me to watch Southpark but of course I have to vet the episodes beforehand. Her favorite is the Japanese toilet one, because we're a bidet family and she's heard the, "why would you want to walk around with poop on your anus" sermon a hundred times from me.
kids are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣‼️
Stop buying their games. If the game forces DEI on you, put the dev on a blacklist for at least 5 future titles. I know, I know... they never seem to learn. Ever. At this point it looks like we're actually gonna see the death of the videogame market, because they simply won't stop. But, I also know in the end execs love money more than woke ideology, and that's why something has to give sooner or later. We'll know when the shift comes, and that's when a big shot exec finally opens his mouth (because you know it will be a guy) and speaks out about the madness, and how his dev company will steer away from it. He'll not only speak out against the ideology, but also against specific shills who's been running the industry for a decade now. It's not gonna be this disingenous HR friendly message that says everything and nothing. It's gonna be some harsh worded pariah shit, from a rogue dev that just wanna make amazing, successful games.
I really loved Ubisoft's statement that "We want to challenge established realities".
What a great way of saying, "We want to rewrite history."
Congrats on the 300k, bro. Keep up your good work.
And no, nobody needs any kind of journos. They are an obsolete construct who have driven themselves to obsoletion and irrelevance.
It's been a rough week for the wokies.
1:07 Funny thing is, the writer probably thinks the people talking about DEI in The Veilguard aren’t talking about the actual game itself. That’s the problem, the DEI *IS* the game.
Just like how politics is Dustborn.
@ exactly.
The only thing gamers need from game "journalists" is for them to go away.
One of the best things that could happen to gaming is IGN, Kotaku, Vice etc, all shut down and disappear without a sound.....
That would be glorious!! 🎉
And nothing of Value would be lost. 😂
Kerp going the fight. I really support this movement. We need more of this transparency. 👍🏻
I'm getting tired of modern fantasy creating elves who are basically humans with pointy ears.
I liked their design in DA2. Honestly, designs in DA2 were the best in the series.
I like the way DnD designs elves. Humanoid enough, but still significantly different from humans.
@@BarsusDracomodern dnd is part of the problem in my opinion. The dnd snarc and cutesy stuff that came eith dnd channels going mainstream
Elves are supposed to be a unified people. As a black man seeing forced inclusiveness bothers me. I don't want black and Asian elves that conflict with the games lore solely for the sake of diversity
@@JimmyThree-Balls Yeah, I agree. I knew dnd was finished when crap like Legends and Lattes became a thing.
We have won. They have lost. Enjoy the 2nd week of big W's lads!
Dude, that article is one of the most ridiculously unintentionally hilarious things I have ever seen in almost six decades! The subject matter of topic is extremely repulsive to many, and at least aggravating and irritating to the vast majority. The tactics have been consistently overblown, far against any logic, and forced. Jurinalism in all forms is OVER. Let's all continue to MAKE FRINGE FRINGE AGAIN! Now, let's also see how long my comment is up before YT tries for the 1001st time to tell me "You can't say that!" Sure I can, and did.
I agree we need game journalism more than ever. Which is why you need to keep doing what you're doing. Stay based and we'll keep supporting you.
oooh to some what correct, we need truth full- non shill game journalism
@GitShoota Good point.
"Without games journalists, the gaming industry will fall apart overnight!"
Fantastic. I would like to expedite this process so that eastern gaming can take over.
The fact that you 100% the games you talk about is a sign that you have a trust worthy criticism, a trait these “journalists” lack
I honestly don't hate those woke games, it's simply not for me, so I don't spend my money on it.
An article on Vice basically tell you the stance to adopt : the opposite of what they say
I made this same comment about SW outlaws and got reprimanded on Reddit for sexism and bigotry. The only point I made was that literally every quest giver and main character was female. Even half of the stormtroopers and officers were female. Am I against women in games? Heck no! However it seems so forced and doesn’t match previous movies or games.
True lmao
I open YT to this being posted 50 seconds ago 😂😂😂 you’ve been doing great documenting the atrocity of the gaming industry.
"Gamer needs journalist more than ever."
Yeah, we need someone like ENDYMION more🔥
This is exactly why we don’t need gaming jornos anymore. They are a lost cause and have sold their souls completely. We are fine getting our info and reviews from UA-cam and Steam thank you very much.
These journalists can't understand they can be easily replaced by competent people. They aren't the only ones who can own a website and post on it.
Is the demon-possessed companion in Veilguard just a Malus Darkblade rip-off from Warhammer Fantasy?
I mean, Malus' pet man-eating dinosaur is named Spite and he's possessed by a demon.
Edit:
Not to mention Malus *also* needs to drink elixirs to stay awake so the demon doesn't take over.
lol. The one even remotely interesting character in the game, and he’s plagiarized. Pottery
Mortismal Gaming is a shill.
He said veilguard is better than origins....You can judge by that
Sounds like bugs begging to not be crushed under the righteous foot of the people
Love you, brother.
When they target you it means you are over the target my brother, keep up the good work.
Steve1989 is going to file a copyright notice against you. You have been warned. Nice!
Journalism, among the mainstream, has been dead for some time. Whether it's news, movie, or game reviews, it's rare if ever there is any journalism involved whatsoever. It's time to call them what they are -- Ads. Their one time integrity and investigative curiosity has been bought and paid for. Oftentimes, they don't even use their own WORDS to write the puff piece they've been commissioned to put out. That's why so many reviews regurgitate the same language.
"Guys, we are relevant, you must believe me!"
Jesus, the desperation smells trough my monitor
Makes game for modern audience game flops blames us for not buying like tf we suppose to do?
We are the ancient audiences obviously what you made is not for us why blame us for not buying what wasn’t for us?? 😅
I don’t pay attention to game journalists at this point. Aside from the fact I can’t stand being spammed with ads on main sites, their reviews are essentially trash.
UA-camrs are to journalists what video was to the radio star.
Just looking at Morrigans character design with her fringe under her head band shows they had no care for the characters.
The kind of people that hate honest critique are those ppl who want force their opinions on others without discussion, they turn off comments, block you etc.
I tactically 🏴☠️ acquired this. The first hour I was like, "This is pretty fun, though bland." But now I'm currently modifying Mass Effect LE. So, yeah that shit got boring as hell.
its honestly good when the reviewers do this because it shows their hand, like it shows how everything works behind the scenes. I wonder when they stopped actually reviewing the games and started selling scores?
I listened to gaming journalists back when they were the types who actually had a passion for gaming. Now many of them are just activists who hate gamers. I have no reason to listen to people who hate me.
Rev says desu promoted you on a recent video. I think that helped increase your subs.
In Mass Effect I don't remember people raising a big stink about Joker and EDI. But that was because they were both really well written characters. I miss old BioWare..
Reeks of desperation these games journalism (apparently)....they reap what they have sown as far as I am concerned.
This mood in this vid is perfect!
Congrats for the 300k! You earned it, you let your personal biases known but report on the other points of view. Thats makes for a well rounded take, something the MSM has forgotten how to do.
"Journalistic integrity" is an oxymoron in this day and age.
0:39 everyone also makes fun of Vice
Looking forward for the next one!
Didn’t expect to watch your entire video but so much truth was spoken. Plus you saved me the time and money of playing it + make videos about it. Great work!
6:45 I mean they're right, without IGN who would we get to make fun of for their reviews?
Jonestly the bit about kcd2 made me say fucking yeah it will affect its player count a lot and i couldnt be happier if it indeed hapens
Because they live in an identity cult, the concept that people are individuals that agree their game sucks is alien to them. They have to believe others just follow their cult like they follow theirs and if they can cancel the voices of what they perceive as cult leaders, they will make sales.
Somehow that's easier than figuring out the market and making games that appeal to that market....
Endymion is the voice of truth! Preach!!
Honestly the only gaming studio I actually trust to do a story that has diversity and inclusive stuff in it is Larian. They managed to do it without it being shoved down your throat and was left pretty much up to the player.
😂😆😂😆 I almost choked to death on my Gatorade when you said they were complaining about "Journalistic Integrity"😂😆😂😆. The same people that have taken that same exact thing and threw it out the window to get their points and activism out to the masses for years now , and now they finally losing the war they want others to be held to a standard they couldn't even hold themselves to. 😂 Give me a f#&kin break 🙄 🤡🤡🤡
My sympathies for you having to play through that piece of garbage Failguard. As far as I'm concerned there are only 2 Dragon Age games. it was already going downhill in Inquisition, just not to the extreme degree as now.
Thank you! I have been saying it for a while now, completely boycotted Inquisition just as I am doing to this.
