Why are they mad about Veilguard? Because you can chose your pronouns? Like a big portion of the game is trying to get down and dirty with members of your party that are all hot
Come on it's not like BioWare isn't completely emblematic of corporate bullshit ruining one of the most loved companies in the industry and that they haven't been hated for more than a decade by now
Oh I agree, but I know that the type of criticism that this is mocking is character and gender related. I'm just saying that if your goal is to be a chuddy gooner gamer, you can absolutely do that in veilgiard by just playing a straight wite character.
Also I'm so far kinda surprised at the game. It's still kinda meh, but it's an enjoyable meh. Worth the $40 sale price I think, and doesn't have any micro transactions or saas stuff.
Yeah, they're so sensitive that really is how little it takes to get them worked up nowadays. Hell, there's even a few groups whose sole purpose is to make lists of "woke" games which can include not only Baldur's Gate 3 (same sex relationships) and Bioshock Infinite (showing America's openly racist past), but also Call of Duty Black Ops (America is sort of the bad guy). I don't get it and I'm glad the people in my life who I care about don't get it either.
This is so funny because the game twists things toward the end to give the message "anyone who violently defends themselves against racist terrorists is just as bad as the racist terrorists."
Original bioshock is much more straightforwardly antiright with its message of "libertarians are wrong about everything and will destroy society if they're allowed to run it."
I completely agree about the Bioshock 1. A little off topic, Bioshock was probably my first exposure libertarian beliefs/Ayn Rand. I got curious about Atlas Shrugged in my 20s after replaying the game and my goodness that was a massive waste of my time. All I could think when I finished it was 'Did I just read the capitalist version of the Turner Diaries? Is that the reason they like the book so much?'
Actually, one of the gamers biggest complaints is that none of them are hot. They're complaining about the women, obviously. I've never seen anyone complain about the men. As far as I can tell they're mad that none of them have all three of: Light skin, European facial features, svelte figure. Each of the 3 women have 2.
Edit: I was watching a video of one of the people doing lots of preview stuff for DAV and when he got to the Veiljumper camp in arlathan he saw the Vendor and said, "seeeeeee bioware does know how to make attractive feeeemale characters!"
All the companions are 10/10 supermodels. I think they just like whining or won't be happy until every female character is literally just a giant pair of tits with an ass on the backside.
And yeah they arent looking for beauty they're looking for women who satisfies the white supremacy misogyny goblin in their brains. Because they use their dick primarily as a way to hate and control women rather than enjoy them. If these men's beauty standards encompass more than 1% of women they will change them because they love hating women so much.
Also all the women look like they are mid to late twenties minimum soooooooo hella men dont like it. Because if my exact ideal tastes/porn category arent catered to at all times its a personal attack on me.
It forces you to be supportive of your non binary companion, and there isn't any fan service. Also its colorful and not as gritty or dark as origins because origins was definitely grimdark. Also there is some bad writing in the first few hours that everyone decided to make videos about.
the most important reason why is because its popular to hate on it. veilguard is, to put it kindly, not the best game bioware's made as of late. had veilguard been a BG3 tier success the obvious suspects would have hated on it for a day or two, realized that the game is overwhelmingly popular, and then desperately sought ways to pass the game as anti woke and anti DEI. it happened before and will happen again.
once you acknowledge that fact, well, take our pick. woke, dei, the women aren't anime dolls, there's gays, there's pronouns, there's trans people, and so on and so forth. these are what trigger them, and these are what they attach to the game's actual design and narrative problems. hence the prior dynamic. if veilguard was truly spotless, any discourse attacking it would be niche and therefore not useful to online grifters.

There's an explicitly non-binary companion and people are very accepting of their identity in-world.

Infinite forgot to tell a good story and instead just kept the player moving from spectacle to spectacle
BOOKER CATCH
HEY
BOOKER CATCH
I have seen some of them shit on Stardew Valley.
Stardew. Fucking. Valley.
If you turned one of the paddles pink, they'd scream games have been woke since Pong.
Ugh, pretty soon they're gonna say Mr Rogers, Bob Ross, and Reading Rainbow are woke and bad.

Meanwhile back at the lighthouse

They even made Lace more "feminine" in Veilguard
DAV has the most yassified cast of characters its so funny. The best before and after is solas
Random hermit who is post twink death
Would be a twink if he wasnt a baddie
