Which game is this? Doesn't sound like veilguard
That particular post is a copy-paste that clown users use to jester-farm Steam reactions.

I know because both Black Myth Wukong and Space Marine II had similar posts in their respective Steam forums, and I mean truly 100% identical as in the very same word-for-word. The only difference is the username.
Oh well. Not like I haven't seen similar posts like that in the past from people actually arguing a position (though those could be trolls as well). Regardless, we know these types exist.

Steam reviews are more trustworthy than a review site that doesn't have any sort of purchase/playtime verification.
77k people played it on Steam day 1, and even more people are playing it today. The ******* who bought this game obviously don't hate it.
I don't deny that there are a healthy amount of ******* that will consume this filth. There has to be "some" amount of market or they wouldn't even attempt it. That said, I still think some numbers are being manipulated.

Besides, Metacritic being what it is would be the easiest for them to manipulate if they put effort. So either it is being bombed by people wanting the game to fail, or those who want it to look good don't see the point in trying to manipulate it at this stage of the release. The cat is already out of the bag.

Yeah, for real. But most people usually don't bother giving negative reviews for stuff they've bought. Especially on steam. They'll usually drop a like under a negative review if it kinda resonates with them, and that's about it. You've got to be one seriously garbage game with a ton of bugs to end up with mostly negative comments in Steam.
For example, even a ****** game like Concord had mostly positive reviews on steam:

When it comes to websites that specialize in reviews, it's a whole different ball game. People tend to be more critical on those sites because they're specifically there to leave reviews. So, if a game has negative reviews on one of those sites, it's a pretty strong indication that something is wrong with it.

Yeah, he is estimating 1 million sold, but somehow it can't hit 100k online?

Can anyone explain to me how that is?

Multiply the concurrent players number by 10. They're hovering around 850,000 which is close enough to a million.

This AAA game doesn't have AAA polish. ****, even the Polish AAA cyberpunk RPG didn't have AAA polish. When was the last time a AAA studio release a game that didn't have a whole load of bugs that have to be patched out for months on end?
Space Marine 2 has a lot of love and attention to detail. Yeah, it didn't fully escape the woke **** with the ****** Ultramarines but outside of that and the pajeeta Cadian Officer with pajeeta accent it has no wokeness. I was skeptical but after playing it for a week I am honestly surprised. It's genuinely a good game.

I'd say don't bother, unless you're really autistic for the Dragon Age setting and sunk so many hours into the previous games that it feels like a total waste otherwise. Still, that might make it even worse.

Wow, he looks nearly identical to my Rook. Same hair and eyes and everything. That hair does look kinda bad in a lot of lighting set ups. If there's a rim light, it looks like the hair is floating. In-game it makes you look like you're balding.

There's no such thing as 'marginalizing'. You're marginalized for a reason: either your beliefs/actions repulse the majority, or the majority just don't share them. According to the principles of democracy, the majority rules and the minority should listen to them. Not the opposite. It's not rocket science.
"Muh Sexism", which is just woke morons crying about stuff like guys being attracted to hot girls or criticizing women for acting immorally, is completely normal. And we shouldn't do anything about it.
Woke stuff ain't normal at all. The reality is that the world, the developers, and regular folks don't owe a dam thing to wokies. The sooner they catch on to that, the better it will be for them. Because their ridiculous arrogance is going to run into a far more real and tangible reaction from the majority that they just ain't prepared to handle.
Correct. "Marginalized" people are at the margins of society. As in they either don't matter or are actually harmful and shunned on purpose.
You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.

Exactly. When the wokies "give normal people what they want" they always twist it in a way that makes it fundamentally unappealing.

It's insane that Bioware get away with this. One would think the gaming magazines and websites would react to this properly - it is after all in the open for all to see that this is NOT a success, as expected - but gaming magazines and websites actually LET this happen. They celebrate it. "A return to form". It's an utter disgrace. Is there no true journalism even in gaming magazines anymore?
This game is political propaganda and soaked with (il)liberal ideology; they seem to have taken inspiration from the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and those that criticize this are "haters" according to gaming magazines? Do they know NOTHING of history?
