Support NeoGAF

[The Saint]

u really sure that u want Bioware to handle a DAO remakester after this one ?

I did not know if it was owned by Bioware or not. I know they made it, but I did not know who actually owns the IP. I guess if not them, then EA? If EA can get someone good to do it then... yeah. It's EA though, so I don't really trust them. Arent they the ones that said things like get used to not owning your games and also single player is dead?

 

[Ridicululzz]

Now Jade Empire, that is a game I have not played in eons lol I'd love to see a remake of that one day!

Yes! I considered getting an Xbox just for Jade Empire back in the day. It's on Game Pass now I believe, but I'd love a remake.

 

[Thief1987]

First option should have been "Yikes!"

 

[nowhat]

Metacritics "critic" score, lol, makes me puke, the user score is only important there, user score should be higher priority than "critic" score

Except, on Metacritic (and soon, Opencritic), there's no way to verify the person leaving a review has actually played the game. Making the user score completely useless. Steam reviews are the only ones worth a damn.

 

[Sleepwalker]

So I did some digging and skill up is banned on re because he has a second channel (his brother's, laymen gaming) which is "alt right" and he is a piece of shit for supporting his brother.

Think of that what you will lol

 

[Dazraell]

The eurogamer review is glowing. some of the details are very exciting. lots of setpieces, epic story moments and mid mission choices. this is exactly what i want. no more open world bullshit.

Something something objective journalism

Skill Up and his brother are guilty of being one thing:

Australian.

Australianism - which is a condition that affects over 25 million people - means that you don't have a high tolerance for silly bullshit, pretentiousness, or entitlement. It also means you are plainly spoken, and don't beat around the bush.

On ResetEra, it is impossible to be Australian. Anyone claiming they are suffering with Australianism on ResetEra has a further, much worse affliction, called 'being a poncy cunt from Melbourne'.

 

[geary]

I wonder what those backend engineers feel when they see the game they worked for 5+ years was hijacked by these weirdos and the game fail so bad. Feel bad for them, but they should jumped ship long ago.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

lol I was actually considering giving this a shot despite all the silliness in it as I thought the graphics and combat looked alright. That HUD is busy AF though, I have no idea who designed that.

The funniest thing is SkillUp and MrMattyPlays being branded as Neo Nazis now because they don’t agree with the narrative of clowns

 

[niilokin]

Finally getting around to replace my desktop pc processor fan and perhaps play through Origins -> DA2 -> Inquisition first before getting this

 

[peish]

The same Eurogamer that refused to review Hogwarts Legacy? Im sure they dont have any agenda and can be trusted.

The same eurogamer that dinked FF16 for not having black characters yet the people in their editorial office are all whites except one

 

[Doczu]

Guys (and gals) the REAL reviews start dropping:

 

[The Saint]

I wish I could change my vote to a 75. A 75 seems right. Fun, safe, but not mind-blowing.

 

[Dazraell]

Dual shockers about to be banned as well. Remember, SBI is doing good things, but also don't mention their effect on the games they are involved in, because that's bad.

If this was there earlier, they had to remove that part from their review, it's no longer there lol

 

[ElFenomeno]

Expecting a low 80s for this one. Its gay and modern journos will eat it up.

As predicted. Trans director making a gay DA game for modern audiences filled with real world ideology. It was obvious how this will play out.

 

[hemo memo]

At 02:43


That's brutal.

Well, in a war-torn world where characters face relentless threats and violence, introducing debates over pronouns creates a striking sense of dissonance.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Looks like no one on GAF is going to play it.

We may never know how the game actually is.

As an Australian It surprises me Skill up didn't end his video with "You cunted up" While cracking a redtin

What site is this?

What site is this?

Eurogamer

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Sales wise it is climbing up slightly. Doesn’t look like Concord situation.

 

[hyperbertha]

I see the new episode of Blue's Clues just dropped. Cool artstyle really sells the kids show vibe

I think what he tried to say that BioWare who released DAO in 2009 and BioWare who is releasing Veilguard in 2024 are very different studios. A lot of people who made Origins left BioWare and ones that are currently working there seems to have very different priorities and approach to the series. Even if they would make Origins remake, it may become a very different game from its original version

 

[hemo memo]

First option should have been "Yikes!"

First option should have been "But I identify as dead. You can't kill me.

 

[RCX]

DA was never something I was drawn to but what I'm taking from how this game seems to be written and how the gameplay operates is that I should stop wanting a new Mass Effect game. The result is likely to be shit.

Thats what paying off the mainstream reviewers does for you.

Word of mouth will see it drop out of existence soon enough if its as poor as it looks.

I think Bioware / Bethesda has extremely strong fanbase.

They were simply waiting for reviews if this was a complete disaster like Anthem or Andromeda.

I can see it selling a million or two.

 

[Denton]

but I really liked this paragraph:

Amazing. The game has filler mindnumbing trash to halt the pacing and make it seem like there is more stuff to do than just combat. And somehow these brainlets consider that a positive.

 

[GHG]

Everyone buying it to review bomb and refund.

 

[Hypnotoad]

At least here in Taiwan it's well outside the Top 50, getting beaten by Shawarma Legend.

 

[Denton]

Everyone buying it to review bomb and refund.

That would be so evil yet hilarious

 

[Johnny Concrete]

They probably thought of that and made the intro/tutorial 2 hours and 1 minute long.

Based Days Gone, the gift that keeps on giving...

 

[royox]

Biggest red flag ever when there are 10/10 reviews and also 6/10. The game is absolutely perfect or it's not...how the hell can it be a 10/10 while reviews are saying that the combat gets boring and repetitive and the writting is all over the place. I don't want to think bad but looks a lot that the big scores are just for having DEI stuff and not for the quality of the game itself.

Easy sell a million but that would be a disaster for a game this size.

 

[kyussman]

I watched the Skill UP review,what the hell is up with the writing,lol........oh,the writer is a middle aged bearded guy with two kids who changed his name from Patrick to Trick and declared himself a they/them non binary pansexual.......ah,I see.

 

[Vlodril]

What is funny (more tragic than funny since i used to love Bioware) is that they have destroyed themselves trying to go after the modern / dude bro whatever audience since mass effect 2. Every game they make is slightly (or a lot) worse because they (or EA) thought that old school style won't ever be as successful as action which BG3 just destroyed as a hypothesis.

They did what Bioware used to do (only better i guess) and they have sales that Bioware wouldn't get even if Bioware added all their previous 5 games together.

The definition of congratulations you played yourself.

Funny thing is that he was the best BioWare writer 10-15 years ago, I mean, he was Mordin’s writer.

He probably doesn't have the same freedom anymore, He surrounded by "modern developers" now.

oh no, they not going to like this, watch out lol

 

[Mozzarella]

Not a really bad score but compared to their RPG counterparts that came this year, it does feel disappointing and low and thats without the negative reviews thus far.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

I trust journalist more than user reviews, just look at the cultist reactions over Here. At least a journalist is not anonymous. That alone make it more trustworthy than Some crazy guy who just wants to see the world burn because they dont agree with something.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

That would be so evil yet hilarious

You Guys are crazy. Get help. And grow up.

 

[PeteBull]

Looks like i am waiting for a sale and some big DLC to bring in something else.

Im totally expecting dlc like in the suicide squad with gender swapped Dr Freeeze

 

[Dazraell]

[PeteBull]

He summarized the entire game in one sentence and then provided receipts. Bioware will not get a single cent from me.

Its not even that, game is too offputing to buy it even with big discount, there is a reason it doesnt have denuvo(25k usd/month paid to keep it up)- no sane pc gamer will wanna pirate it even

 

[RJMacready73]

Im totally expecting dlc like in the suicide squad with gender swapped Dr Freeeze

that cant be an actual DLC character??? no way, thats a photoshop

 

[pudel]

Thats a matter of honor anyway. Games who come without Denuvo or stupid DRM launchers are not gonna be pirated. Pirating a game from gog should be even considered as crime against humanity.
