wait how does "350 years" follow from their own link in that thread

War has knocked Gaza back to the 1950s, UNDP says

Even under optimal conditions, with international aid remaining at current levels and flowing into Gaza and the West Bank unhindered, it would still take at least a decade for economic output to recover to pre-war levels, she said.

 

It's the calculus from truthout.org, which is a reliable news source because it has the word "truth" in its name.

Based on the growth rate of Gaza’s economy under Israeli blockade between 2007 and 2022, it would take 350 years to restore Gaza’s GDP from before the genocide, according to a report by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

Did you go on the shittiest market and choose a vendor with no reviews?

BAN THIS SICK FILTH

It's also wild that the reviewer says 'she' multiple times in the exact sentences about the character preferring 'they'.

 

[Eric Cartman]

Dragon Age thread should be good. Game looks bad, has a defence force who are willing to die for it, reviews shenanigans, all the classics

Could have been better and come out election day, so prominent members skip voting in order to play the latest pre-Papa EA mid-Bioware RPG

Oh, I guess if you link to Erin Reeds personal website instead of their twXts, we can pretend it has more legitimacy than their usual deranged ramblings

Everything about this is forced. Deep down they know it too.

The review scale is getting so squished it's gonna pop. The difference between 83 and 86 is a gap big enough to separate Starfield from Silent Hill 2. 

I'm a big proponent of "different games are different", but it feels like for big single-player releases, the sub-80 range is reserved for specifically making a deliberate statement. If you are just sorta meh on one of these, then you drop an 80, because its obvious that a lotta people worked real hard on the game.
  

I think the last "big" single-player game that fell under 80 was Outlaws? Which was a titanic misfire. And it's still sitting at 75.

[Uncle]

reviews scores tabulating mainstream sites just don't fucking matter

this era-banned review is really convincing me that the other reviews are shallow surface-level nonsense

Skill not digging it. As someone who has never been a big DA fan but have been keeping tabs on this one, [SkillUp's] review doesn't give me personally a ton of confidence that it's for me.

Just an FYI, SkillUp is banned here.

What did I miss? Always respected his opinion...

I don't want to go too much into it because I actually disagree with the ban and I don't want to come off as biased. Essentially he had a Youtube channel with his brother that had a fair amount of clickbait culture war stuff. "Woke", "SJW", that kinda stuff. It was mostly his brother's thing and he left that channel, but it was decided to ban him from here for it.

You don't wanna fuck up your future narrative consultant gigs for when you get bored of pretending to be a writer and want to play dress up as a game developer instead

Nah. Anyways this was like 6 years ago but they had excellent reviews and shortly after this they pulled an exit scam. 

Shit happens 

Doesn't matter here anymore, anyways, since now I can walk into one of the dozens and dozens of dispensaries in the metro area

Somewhere in San Francisco, a person of size in a digital polycule is loving this.

Gamers should keep up their joke of identifying as non-buynary.

If that dude who made a thread about not voting got banned then those people need to get banned too 

[DavidCroquet]

Banner? Emote? That "Establishes Transgender Identity" info box is too good to ignore.

GO WOKE, GO BROKE. FUCK YOU BIOWARE DONT RUIN ME WITH THIS SHIT

[TylenolJones]

This is the same game industry that gave Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY awards. Just wait for it to bomb and play it on game pass in a year for free.

[HardcoreRetro]

Is this shit even an rpg? I'm looking at it and the gameplay looks like God of War 2018 for complete morons.

[HaughtyFrank]

Why the fuck are they incapable of the minimum of subtlety? 

"Welcome to this magical fantasy world far removed from our own"

"I'M NON BINARY, MY PRONOUNS ARE THEY THEM"

Come up with a different Fantasy cultural take on how someone could be non-binary? Fuck that.

[HaughtyFrank]

On a different note, why are non-binary characters always women?

[Cheststrongwell]

No way are those DA screenshots real. Is this real life?  

[malfoyking]

Banner? Emote? That "Establishes Transgender Identity" info box is too good to ignore.

But hey, at least their target audience which is Twitter/Reddit/Tumblr always online people and others in their cult will at least love this.

Also, Pey is banned lol

[Jansen]

Until BIOWARE adds an option for furries and scalies their games are still EXCLUSIONARY

[Jansen]

I want to roleplay as nepthing  :nep

I am already on guard seeing stuff like this, because I haven't forgotten

[Uncle]

they know that guys failing to seem feminine (or at least not-male) would appear to be mockery of those who can't pass

[HaughtyFrank]

Remember that new main character who started shit with that guy from IconEra and then deleted their account after a while?

I think this is their new account:

I'm more amused by the post that initiated the conversation that not-Valkarian is replying to.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/dragon-age-the-veilguard-review-thread.1020987/page-14#post-130778649

With the Mattyplays review, I am reading on the Bioware discord that his character in the reviews looks the same as the one from some right-wing person on Twitter posting leaks to shit on the game ... anyone knows anything on that? Because that sounds p sus if actually true.

Not the reviewer, not the content of the review, but the custom character shown in the video may be linked to "some right-wing person" posting on X.


Folks, the chuds are coming for us...they're in the walls...are you working with them??? Are you one of them?!? they walk amongst us everywhere! No one is above suspicion...and if you disagree, I know who's side you are on!

[Jansen]

Dragon Age: Veilguard leaves us with the impression that we bought the wrong title. Instead of a true RPG, we get a mediocre action adventure game. A scenario stretched to the limit, a poorly constructed world and monotonous gameplay bored me to tears.

Roast'em
