I agree with most of your assessments. Long time DA fan, MASSIVELY disappointed by this game in so many ways. My one disagreement is on the Viper being blighted though. MASSIVE SPOILER HERE The Viper is *The Imperial Divine*, so when he says he's got some tricks up his sleeve to delay the effects, I believe him. HOWEVER, I thought that was going to buy enough time for something interesting to happen with it in Act 3, but it literally never gets mentioned again. THE IMPERIAL DIVINE IS BLIGHTED and it never gives a fuck? There were a thousand times in act 1 where I was ELATED at something, not for its raw excellence, but because it felt like the beginning of a true Bioware scale incredible storyline. The teaser of complexity and grandness. The Viper's being secretly the fucking imperial divine starting slave rebellions, the dwarf origin story, return of the griffons, mistreated elves could be uniting under their gods, offhand comments about how nevarran skeletons cannot be blighted teasing the possibility of an allied skeleton army, etc. Weisshaupt was so epic! I thought act 2 would expound on the great stuff, have more awesome interesting content like Regrets of the Dread Wolf. It instead felt like... Game of thrones season 8, or Amazon spending $1b on the beautiful settings and sfx of Rings of Power. Dwarves got cut for time, Taash's entire personality becomes about an identity instead of expounding on how she knows dragons by dietary habits and tracks them so well, the Crows change from being Mossad or Black Cube to some cheerful freedom fighters. The game was as beautiful as the writers' room was neglected 😩

I saw this movie yesterday and I think Charlie was eating for 2 people, him and his lover, he would order 2 of everything, maybe guilty of his lovers death

Feels like I am watching a superhero movie. And not even one of the good ones. Like Green Lantern, or something along those lines. I am not touching this game, not in a million years.

Lol this movie took me a week to finish. It’s beyond boring and dumb and way too pretentious!!! Oh and the music is so bad. Also Gaga can’t act.

What you said about the writing of Rook sounds like they forgot DA:II was a thing...

Great summary and good points throughout. I agree with the conclusion as well. Only things I'd add: - Looting was very lackluster. Having to rely on luck to get the weapon or armour you need feels bad. I'd much rather craft it myself to prepare for what I need. - Enchanting felt dumbed down as well, I really liked the rune system. Felt like they wanted another thing gone from the dwarfs. - While the use of the lyrium dagger to user other companions abilities was nice, I REALLY hated that you still had to visit some areas multiple times to get the chests. Especially if there was another way to get them but you couldn't because of an invisible wall. - I became bored of the same locations pretty fast. Might be because there was no real reward for exploration other than a random roll for equipment I more often than not didn't care for (because it was irrelevant) or because I had nothing to do with the crafting material, it never felt scarce. The locations looked great, but there weren't enough of them. - As others have said, having to be nice to your companions in everything you do was a downer. Can't expel the 'impossible' abomination that is Lucanis? Can't educate Taash? Can't tell Bellara to stfu? So many moments and good conversation opportunities wasted. - I disliked having to sacrifice either Davrin or Harding. All the other deaths could be prevented by choosing the right person for the job and making them 'Hero of the Veilguard'. But nooo... They somehow had to shoehorn a 'real' decision into it. And then don't even really talk about for more than one sentence. No grief, no ceremony no nothing. - Being able to tailor your combat experience was well and good. But higher difficulties were just more HP on the boss and more damage delt to you. Not more / less mechanics or anything which felt cheap as well. - Speaking of combat... Why did we have companions? It felt they were just there for some more abilities, I didn't really felt like I was fighting in a team. It felt like I had to do everything myself. If you could at least tell your companions to use their abilities by themselves, but no, you have to do that as well.

Epic show suck on it 😂 🎉🎉🎉

Have been playing it a lot. The problem with it is that it is the 4th mainline DA game. When it should have been a reboot or spin off. As an action RPG (with the right difficulty setting 4 you) is pretty good. As a DA game is really poor. Have played them all...never loved them (mass effect fan here) and I enjoy this 1. I can see it objectively 4 what it is. And is great.

I thought the movie was well done. This movie is about a sad man, who didnt have the energy or interest in hurting more people and seeking revenge. I was sad for Arthur and his life. But when he was killed, I felt that he finally had peace. I hate that so many TH-cam talking heads called it bad when it’s not. The music was not meaningless. We are in Arthur’s mind. We are supposed to empathize with how he sees the world. Maybe the world lacks that ability.

I really did feel like a supporting character acting as an underqualified psychiatrist/babysitter to the story's 7 main characters 😅

Season 3 added so much context to the characters and why they are the way they are. You can say that we didn’t need the context I guess, but it enriched the plot rather than moving it forward

Seems like most people don't understand season 3 and what it's actually talking about. Luckily, my roomate is a chef who got pretty far in this very stressful world and was completely blown away by season 3. I've also worked (not as much as him) but quite a bit and Season 3 of The Bear completely hit me emotionnally as well. It isn't as good as season 2 for me because season 2 is a tv series masterclass. However to me it isn't that far behind it.

You wouldn't get it

This movie deserves a remake

Very good, in theory, but... I agree: "It didn't offend or hurt me, because I had no expectation one way or the other..." Understanding what it tries to do, doesnt make it do what it tries to do Unfortunately, It was just a big waste of time

If you know absurdism, this movie makes perfect sense, particularly the end.

Finished the game and I prefer I didn’t play the game at all. I lost Two Old Friends and felt like they could have have a better end if the other story was incorporated instead of this Dumpster Fire 🗑️ 🔥.

I'm being reminded of Piero Manzoni's "merda d'artista". With enough "meta" commentary, you can literally sell canned shit to idiots, and raise the price when the can starts leaking. A boring musical with poorly arranged and poorly executed famous songs banking on the fame of a successful existing IP is not "genius". It's a cashgrab. Beyond the poor execution and poor choice (since apparently "creating" new music for more than one song is an insurmountable task), defending the story is kind of like defending the last season of game of Thrones - yeah... you could defend the end as an interesting conclusion, but then you really should have written a story that lead up to that. If the whole point of this Joker is being somewhat grounded in a realistic world, maybe don't have magical interventions. Maybe don't have a judge allow this "symbol" to be dressed as Joker in court. Maybe don't have the security be so poor after he's incited Giant riots. Maybe don't have this frail body be fine after being beaten or after having an explosion a few meters away. Maybe don't have him join a choir. Maybe don't have a random wealthy woman there. Maybe don't have her be able to easily start a giant fire out of nothing. Maybe don't make a character who's way too empathic to be a guard, and then once you made that silly choice, maybe don't suddenly turn him into a racist... Maybe just don't make this film

*anyway. Please don't revert to American English. It's a curse to the ears and the soul. 😅

The movie is horrible…. Way to much singing and it pours $h!+ on the first film.

It helped save my life.

Amazing content. Amazing voice. Subbed

The wardens are kinda obsolete by the end of veilguard - all of the archdemons are dead so there will be no more blight or it will have to be fought in a different way.

The effing of your previous choices is a bit of exageration - Kirkwall is sacked, Redcliffe is effed possibly Denerim too but Kirkwall is like Sunnydale in Buffy - it was deliberately manipulated by Tevinter to be somewhere with a weak veil to raise demons, Redcliffe was an island in a place destroyed by the 5th blight and as it was suffered demon attacks during it and had constant fade rifts including a few created by Alexis's rift magic and waring mages and templars both the factions and the rogue elements from them. Denetim was ransacked by Darkspawn in 5th blight. Orlais has always been about competing factions vying for power since the death of Emperor Florian. There is no guarantee that that Ferelden and Orlais are permanently destroyed. Could they have done more to perserve your previous choices? Yes of course but I think its made out to be worse than it is.

My inquisitor with the fem British voice sounded fine.

I’ve been watching Seinfeld for like 31 out of 40 years, George is in my DNA 😂

Dumb fkn movie

Are you even in Thedas if nobody calls your elf character "rabbit" and "knife ears"? Make Dragon Age racist again XD

The lack of the previous choices in the previous games was bad enough, but the destruction of Southern Thedas is nothing short of a betrayal to everything we ever did in Origins, 2 and Inquisition. They destroyed the Thedas I cared about. I’m glad I found out now while trying to decide whether I should get Veilguard or not. Now I know that I won’t. I spent so many hours in Ferelden, Kirkwall and Orlais saving them and the people within. I cared about Southern Thedas and they wiped it all out. So, I’m going to do with Dragon Age what I did with Star Wars. The “Rey trilogy” doesn’t exist in my interpretation of the Star Wars universe. And I deny Veilguard in my world state of Dragon Age. I will write my own ending to Trespasser and my own solutions to the lore questions it left behind. Then I will leave Thedas to rest and my Warden, Hawke and Inquisitor get their happily ever afters.

naw gonna disagree on the end it's more or less the same as black zetsu with naruto introducing a secret organization that's manipulating everything cheapens everything we've gone through up this point.

You have such a cool voice!

Now I’m just wondering what your thoughts on dragon absolution is

Damn, now I want access to that Onenote pad.

You have a small mistake there... At the time when your team and rook talk about the evanuris, they do not yet realize who they really are, and thus calling them gods does not really make any sense. So I give you right they should have called them just mages. To diminish their threat... Alone from morale with anybody that would make sense... BUT The Evanuris ARE NOT just normal powerfull mages. They are the original spirits together with Mythal and Solas that created the Elven race, by corrupting the titans. They are actually closer to powerful demons or spirits than mortals. Which of course your team only finds out later. They are not literal gods, but at the power they posses as spirits they are as close to a god as you will ever get. And technically, being spirits, they are also immortal, or rather resurrect as a new entity over time.

Docktown not having slaves is rediculous, slaves usually were brought in through ports and docks and were also often sold in the markets around said ports and docks, no matter if they were slaves of Europeans and in the Americas or if they were slaves of Muslims in the middle east and North Africa.

My head cannon is that the death of Joker was methaporical or was his psyche killing the victim personality of Arthur. The "psychopath" is the real Arthur and I believe that he was SA'd by the guards that night when they beat him in the washroom them assaulting him took away his individuality the real him, because before this he is developing and expressing the Joker as him even when faced with encounting his sexual trauma again he jokes to the guard if he will 'buy him a drink' but after they sa him he regress into his dual personality Arthur- The Victim in order to keep him sane in a way the Arthur personality is like his inner child as we were told in the court room he was SA'd as a child so him going through the trauma again at Arkham made him put on the persona of Arthur to feel safe. See it like this if he's damned when being the Joker (his real self) then his self defense mechanism is Arthur. I have more theories like the last scene of Harley wasn't real and perhaps even after the court was bombed that could have been his actual death bc he was the closest to the explosion and after the dust cleared, he was seemingly the only one in the court room. The guy he met with the Joker make-up outside the ruined court was the persona of Joker trying to keep him alive but Arthur ran to Harley to his old apartment which he confessed to her he hated, his defense mechanism made him attach to Harley bc if his real self The Joker hated that apartment nothing even Harley could bring him to return. I also theorize that the Harley we see in he last scene is actually dead and committed suicide in the apartment ,when Arthur declared the Joker was all an act (which isn't true, the goal of the self defense mechanism personality, Arthur Fleck- The Victim, is to keep himself in line with society my evidence is when The Victim 'died' he didn't fight the psychopath like how when faced with SA from the guards he at least retaliated and punched one. The victim didn't fight the psychopath but accepted the role society placed on him by still trying to walk to the guards even after being stabbed, Mury's last words to Joker was essentially if your are downtrodden or a victim run to cops notify them and Arthur Fleck is the one that idolized Mury while Joker is the one that pulled the trigger as he knew Mury made him weak)- I say this to say that Arthur meeting Harley again was him confront his loss of her and his Arkham "death" was the innocent part of Joker, the victim Arthur, being let go or dying by his true personality The Joker. My main evidence beside the crowd being abscence in the court is also after he confronts Harley again on the stairway the cops seemingly not only knows where he is but that he returned to the apartment, the cops wouldn't know where Arthur fled to for multiple reason including the fact there was assumed doppelgangers of Joker around Gotham dressing and wearing his make up anyone of them could have been mistaken for him so technically the cops wouldnt be able to find Arthur plus Harley rented his apartment if there's a new tenant why would he go back there so the cops behind him in that scene aren't real but is The Victim incarcerating himself by accepting not only was society sees him as but also what he believes what "he fucking deserves" I believe the psychopath that killed him was his true personality freeing Arthur from his slavery to the system and grief of lossing Harley. I would hope if there is a third movie for us to see Arthur or in this case the fully developed Joker to have the scars on his face that he carved. And for those who think the psychopath is Ledger's Joker he's not, the Gotham city in the Dark Knight is based in Chicago while the one in The Joker is said in the movie to be in New York also Thomas Wayne in the Joker looks nothing and acts nothing like the Thomas in the Nolan films unless it can be interpreted that Bruce had an idolized view of his father in the Nolan verse but that too much theory bc why would the directors of Joker 2 think that far. To conclude I believe that the psychopath that "killed" Arthur is Arthur and weither or not he died in the court bombing or is still alive Arthur Fleck- The Victim is dead. Also the movie seems heavily inspired by Fight Club and courtroom cases so you could also theory that Harley just like Marla is a representation of his Anima for those who don't know all men have a female aspect to their psychology and vice versa with all females so Harley may not have exist in the film and like Marla in Fight Club was there to guide there respective male counter parts ie Arthur and the Narrator to becoming who they really are. You could say that Harley was "born" or envolped by Arthur back as a child when he was SA'd or even when he found out he imagined his relationship with Sophie, or when Harley was fully developed when Arthur decided to killed his mother. I absolutely love this movie and just watched it an hour ago and have so many interpretation of whats happening in the film bc Arthur is an unreliable narrator. ps. Thanks for listening to my Ted-Talk🤡

Its funny to see and heard people ""rationalizing"" about Snyder work like people do the same with things they hate, but want to cope with it. "I hate this beacaue....~1h30m of essay later~but its not just a feeling, is rational ...guys."

Why does everyone try to jerryrig everything into D&D, the Dragon Age TTRPG is right there! 😭 2:34 Having a bunch of anime flash effects covering the screen is reasonable? 4:59 Not really? The environments don't look bad, but that don't look better or unique compared to any recent fantasy game. 6:27 Again, no, they're pretty standard for a AAA game released in the last 3 years. 8:26 Yeah I remember one cutscene had Davrin hold just his sword while his shield was just chilling on his back. 11:28 Harding sounded drunk through most of thr game 14:12 It's the same skill wheel from mass effect, and the primers and detonations don't really have depth, especially compared to Origin's spell combos, they're all just an aoe explosion. Pokemon has vulnerabilities and resistances, having that in a RPG is standard not depth. 14:58 I played the game on nightmare and approached every combat encounter, right up to Elger'nan, dodge charged light. Detonation spam. 23:24 Inquisition is a low bar. 23:27 There isn't anything in the game that even approaches the darkness of origins. People alway bring up D'meta's crossing, but with the artstyle it just looks like the town is just covered in glowing play-doh and it's not like the town is full of ghouls and broodmothers, just gunk that wouldn't be out of place in a marvel movie, or an action movie for kids from the 90s Haven, in origins managed to be darker without all the cartoon special effects. D'meta's ctossing is definitely not origin's level. 1:26:16 The feels like splitting hairs, particularly in regards to Loghain, either they influenced his decision enough to justify being there or so little that their presence wasn't necessary, shadowlands had this exact same problem.

So, it is just me that noticied that she NEVER EVER VISITED THE JOKER in the solitary? There is no such thing as visitation on solitary, they never did sex. C'mon people... be smart, it was an allucination. The guy is a virgin incel.

This movie is the best DCU movie since the Batman of Nolan. It will be a cult movie in the future. Sharp critic on the way comics depict mental illness and psiquiatric treatment, and how the fandom, mostly extreme right, reacts when some truth about this issue is shoved down their throat. Negationism cames in various ways, you can negare science, you can negate race and gender equality, and you can negate mental illness.

More like Joker Poo.

I just watched it and had horrible expectations. I really liked it. I think it was a matter of crazy hype and expectation. I too expected it to be about how Joker became a crime boss. But I knew that wasn't the case before I watched. Once you get rid of what expect and watch the movie that it is without imposing what you think it should be, I think it was a good movie.
