BioWare has repeatedly demonstrated that their form post ME3 is “being faggy,” so I suppose it’s correct in that sense.

ME3 was pretty faggy too.

Yeah, you could put it (or even ME as a franchise, arguably) on either side of the cutoff.

True, the whole ME franchise was always a little suspect, but I think ME3 got a lot more in-your-face about it than the first two did. ME3 turned Kaiden gay and gave him a gay romance option with Shepard, even though he was straight in previous games. They also replaced Kelly Chambers with a lesbian Indian who could only be romanced by femshep, and had the gay black pilot who cried to you about his husband without you even asking, and tried offering him as a gay romance option for Sheperd.

And then of course they replaced the krogan sidekick with an annoying beaner who calls you "Loco" and a girlboss female krogan who goes on rants about how males ruin everything.

Kaiden

I wouldn’t know. I always let him die in the first game so I can pork Ashley’s brains out 😆

Ashley is unironically probably the best romance in all BioWare games. She is 100% emotionally stable with no daddy issues or tragic background stuff.

'He's inspired by Hitler'

It's so NPC, it's why people trust streamers WAY MORE than review sites, at least we see them playing the game.

Gross sky rat vs. overpaid videogame "journalist": who has better problem solving capabilities? The answer will not surprise you.

to be fair, pigeons are very intelligent creatures, who were domesticated then abandoned by humans.

Game journalists on the other hand never served a useful purpose...

Hilary gave a "muscular" speech.

Biden is "sharp as a tack."

J.D. Vance is "weird."

Kamala is "black."

Kamala is a Canadian Indian Black Jamaican Marxist California-ruiner. No wonder they love her.

True and don't forget both slave and master heritage. If she were a white Jamaican, they'd hold it against her.

(I stole this post from a reddit user named TheCuriousBread)

Games reviewers all say the same thing because they are all owned by the same company - Ziff Davis Media

Ziff Davis Media owns:

. Eurogamer

. ExtremeTech

. GamesIndustry.biz

. IGN

. PCMag

. Rock Paper Shotgun

. VG247

Of which IGN also owns:

Outside Xbox, Digital Foundry, Hookshot

Of which Hookshot owns:

Nintendo life, Push Square, Pure Xbox, Time Extension

When you really start digging there really is only 2-3 voices in media, it's just 3 people owning all the companies and telling you the same thing with difference faces. They are the lords of media and you will listen to what they want you to hear. You have no alternatives, if there are, they will just buy it and everyone has a price.

Edit: Ziff Davis owns way more than this. This is just focused on the gaming network part.

"Member the original was good? I'm telling you as a Trusted Reviewer(TM) that this is like the original."

Presstitutes lying again.

They gave review codes to tiny no-name leftist websites while denying the game to popular independent YouTubers. Obvious curation of reviewers, intended to boost the early metacritic score. Once the narrative of “good game” has been established, you’ll see the score drop as more unvetted reviewers chime in.

They do this because if they were even handed in who they let review, it would get bombed before the masses could buy it, and in turn they wouldn't buy it. So they have to prime everyone into thinking it's good, trick them into buying a shit product. They will discover on their own but thats AFTER they already spend money on it. And then when the audience hates it, the makers will gaslight and hurl insults at them. "It really IS great, you're just too bigoted to appreciate it!"

Funny because at least one prominent YT reviewer said they didn't feel like they were playing Dragon Age IP.

ShillUp said it was like HR was in the room for every conversation. For a fucking normie nerd, that's brutal, and probably even unintentionally based

I'm going to buy it, review it negatively on Steam for not being woke enough, and refund it. Can't wait to piss on this trash.

Can you buy it direct from EA? I was thinking about buying it and doing a charge back, but don't wanna do that on my steam account

Buy it from Amazon, then return it , you end up with a still active key in your ea origin account. That's how I played battlefield 2042 for free (even free was still a little too much for me, my reason for return was item defective)

Your review won't stay if you refund it I am fairly sure, I think it has to be a game 'on your account' so to speak for your reviews to show up.

I may be wrong on this so feel free to ignore me if you know otherwise.

They say this about Madden most years, too.

I haven't played Madden in a decade. I just had this pointed out to me by SoftDrinkTV, who still has integrity.

Saying return to form admits that the last game was trash.

Never could finish DA 3 because the NPC controls in the "tactical mode" was awful on PC. Your allies didn't respond to the commands you would give them, and if you had to tell them to resurrect an ally, you had to hold down the E key to do it...in tactical mode...aka...the RTS classic view. The tactical view option was only there to bait PC gamers to play.

Also the multiplayer was micro transaction bait.
