Yes and it came out of the only good game in the series.

While the Origins OST is a banger (very much including Leliana's Song), these covers nearly always fall short of the original because the singer tries to "put their own spin on it" with breathy ******** and vibrato in all the wrong places. While it's not as bad here, it did remind me of one of the worst offenders - Malukah.

You know I love this song but I always thought it was poorly delivered in the first game. Idk, there's something really cringe in that cutscene that I can't get over it. But I guess compared to anything Veilguard or even Inquisition did, it was peak cinema.

So they are just under 13k right now, 14k for the day (#72 on most played) and the game doesn't even rank on the top 100 sellers list (BG3 and Stalker are #3 and #4). In the forums, people are talking about Angry Joe giving it a 3/10 and all the stupid ******* are STILL claiming the game a success, that he has no clue what he is talking about, the game is a solid win for Bioware.

They don't live in the real world, they are so completely ********.

Denial, I mean... serious cope going on.

I think that partly because games like Concord set a completely unrealistic example. Now every game with more than 1000 concurrent players and a life cycle longer than 3 days its called a success.

Had he done a review in the first week of the game's release, I'm sure it would've been a glowing nob-polishing of a review. Now that the game flopped to the point that the cumguzzlers at IGN feel free to lambast it, he feels free to say how **** the game actually is.

Act Ma'am did the same thing too once the general consensus among the masses was that the game is bad and was safe for him to mock. These reviewers are such fence sitting grifters. They just sit and wait to see if a game will be safe for them to mock and drag through the coals otherwise they would gladly be sucking these devs off like Act Ma'am did with Bethesda and Starfield. Expect to see more of this fence sitting ******** from these grifters with Avowed and Obsidian.

Guy is a total soycuck, but he shows the original concepts for the game in the video. Also, if you skip through you can see the concept art for the main characters and obviously they changed their ethnicity. Neve for instance was supposed to be white and blonde. Davrin some sort of reddish/dark elf but clearly not some human black dude with pointy ears.

Originally Rook was supposed to help the Warden with the Calling, which in turn would help him fight against Solas, thus why Morrigan was important to the plot. Your Warden would be in the game.

5 endings, one including helping Solas and destroying Thedas with the blight, but saving the elves and rebuilding their kingdom in the Fade. Also, default Rook is female which is ******.

He is a ****** wokester. He is not tired, but he can see the blood in the water and the tide turning. Everyone and their grandma panned this game. Even ******* IGN tried to walk back their glowing praise after the embargo lifted.

He is playing to the audience here. Even ShillUp panned this game. That's why Morstycuck Gaming giving a fence sitting nothing burger of a "review" and people still thinking he has any kind of integrity is baffling.5 Pesos Pedro has fallen from relevancy for years now. When Naughty Dog releases a new remaster for the Last of *****, he will be right there glazing the woke **** like the good lapdog he is.

Releasing this 2 days ago after the public opinion has been firmly cemented just goes to show how much a pussy ****** he is.

Actually, that was mass effect andromeda. A thoroughly mid game that got shredded by yewtoob reviewers to the point where you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a 2/10 game if you didn't play it.

I think that was the first big game that yewtoobers went all in on for clicks. It became divisive to do so once the reason for these games being **** was correctly considered political and ideological lines were drawn.

Main difference is andromeda had its dlc canceled, veil guard had no dlc planned.

It's not worth playing unless you really want to play a space sci-fi shooty pooty with RPG elements. The shooty pooty part is pretty good because it's just frostbite engine shooty pooty.

It's the classic feminist schrodinger tactic. To the wokecuck libtards, Chuds are a very very small minority that is just extremely vocal but somehow they are large enough to review bomb a good product into financial failure at the same time.

Yeah that's the only thing that they got right, the action. And it tracks, it was developed by the same folks that did the ME3 multiplayer. That's all they knew. Story sucked, dialogue sucked and the godawful performance issues.

One month from release, today's peak was 19,715. Dying game, not much of a long tail. By comparison, D:OS 2 had over 50,000, KCD and Witcher 3 had around 30,000. Here's hoping it shrinks to four digits by the end of this month.

I do agree that it's possible Jaffe is just trolling for views, but I have personally come across individuals online who genuinely 100% believe that woke stuff is the new normal and anyone who disagrees is the actual minority troll.

These people have turned intersectionality into their religion and they're all zealots on a crusade.

He is. Jaffe is very jealous that YouTubers who talk about video games and pop culture are more famous and popular than he is. This man is very fame hungry and envious. Problem for Jaffe is that he is a relic both in terms of video games and his political views. Leftism has fallen out of favor with a majority of young men. The same demographic that buy and play video games. They look at men like Jaffe as a pathetic Marxist cuckold who is past his prime. This causes no end of grief for Jaffe as he wants to be seen as a famous and respected voice with the younger gaming community. I find his desperate attempts to remain relevant to be really pathetic. He should probably focus on getting his trooned out child to therapy before they 41% themselves instead of being internet famous.

He has a ***** kid, Any opinion he has regarding these topics are immediately disregarded. This pathetic excuse of a man is a failure as a father and a parent.
Rather than taking care of his family, he prefers to follow an insane cult that sexualizes children and self-mutilation.
I hope he and the rest of his ilk never get to procreate again.

He's 100% right, normgroids can't define woke because it's a dog whistle word. Woke means gay race communism.
^ fun fact, both Tucker Carlson and Ron DeSanstis have referred to it as this. I like when notable people get based writers.

To be fair, the extreme majority of motivated pro-woke posters online can't meaningfully define what it is either. If you ask them, they'll all tell you it just means being aware of social injustice. The vast majority of people just aren't aware of the origins or theory behind the ideologies they follow, beyond merely parroting the doctrinal points they've been spoonfed.

The caveman definition of woke could reductively but correctly be stated as "straight, White, male = bad; gay, brown, female = good". More specifically, it's ideologically anti-traditional and seems to be heavily based on Umberto Eco's concept of Ur-Fascism.

Easier to just summarize it as gay race communism, because it gets the idea across immediately. It's communism(lysenkoism) applied to race and sexuality.
