Making any form of media, unless you're writing your own biography, requires the public to not know about your personal life. Just like with teachers, kids have no business learning about teacher's sexual lives.
Playing Dragon Age Origins again on my Xbox One, what a great game it is. I have a PS5, but am increasingly drawn back to older games with rich, immersive storytelling unlike the banal slop that is produced today. And Mass Affect 5? Yikes! I shudder to think what they will produce.
You should try Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Game really pulls you in and is not woke, made back in 2004, the sequel will be woke though so I would avoid it.
Weird things I've seen in this game that are messages besides sexuality: The one character you can kill at the beginning is a greedy white man (a mayor) Tevinters are dark skinned (Persian inspired?) but a random aristocrat can be white, blonde with blue eyes cause he evil. He's lame tho so he pulls a Draco and daddy saves him. Female antagonist to Lucanis is presented as an evil vixen. Female sensuality is shamed through the game, in Morrigan too. The name of this woman is Zara. Zara like the retail company. What do all these have in common? Capitalism. It's the most surface level of capitalism=bad I've seen in my life and the misogyni is simply sickening. I hate bigots but I have to agree at this, the devs hate women and have the most asinine views on life.
If I respond to this it'll likely get filtered but other than the destruction of tradition, the focal point of the ideology is anti-wh*t* and needs to be discussed more.
The difference is that back in the day, people worked hard to be successful and establish a lasting IP, while these people will use a successful IP for propaganda.

That is why the Married with children (Al and Peggy Bundy) show was so successful at the end of the 80s: they were not pretending anymore and went against the political correctness of the time. They did not care about insulting people.
They're already putting pronouns in that mass effect board game, so we know where the next one is going, not like we needed more evidence after 3's ending and all of Bioware's subsequent products. Tbh even ME2 felt like too drastic a change in direction back in the day from the first game and kotor, it felt significantly less like an RPG. These "writers" cannot relate to normal human beings because they aren't. Representation for them cannot be an optional toggle either for that matter, so the rest of us will be forced to look at it.
The show Married with Children is hardcore especially among the family centered and sanitized sitcoms that what was airing on TV back then. The character Ted Bundy was a based AF beast and his lines are still resonating more than ever today.
Exactly. It’s not about money, they have near infinite amounts of it. It’s about moving the overton window on what is and isn’t woke. Even normies realise that games like concord and dustborn are obviously woke. Games like dustborn will be the norm in 10 years because “lesser” woke games like GOW:R and RDR2 go under the radar.
Damn right on Breaking bad, wire and sopranos. I love the breaking bad verse and better call saul. Can you imagine Jimmy demanding his brother chuck that he should be treated as a non binary? Think of that scene of Jesse getting confronted by his parents of his drug addiction or Nacho's talk with his father that he should quit and call the police. Compare that scene to that cringe inducing scene where this character from Veilguard demands her mother to be addressed as a non binary.
No his sin, as the fable goes, is that he rebelled against an evil and tyrannical god. For if you read the Bible that's the only description I can give to the Christian god. Fortunately though none of it is real. You've got your make believe fantasy world, the wokies have theirs. I however do my best to live in reality as much as I can, even as bad as it is.
Never too early or too late to shit on a woke piece of garbage like this. No one wanted Dragon Age to suck, but here we are, calling it now that if they are allowed to make another Mass Effect, it will be woke and lead to the collapse of Bioware.
I feel like I am repeating myself a lot in the comments saying this but another great video. Big fan of Asmon myself since 2018, watched his playthrough to see his reaction because of my involvement as a playtester and it was clear he didn't like it. He stopped playing it and has been trashing it's writing a far bit. He said he won't play Mass Effect because it isn't his thing, which is fair. You should check out his latest video on the "Asmondgold Clips" channel about his stalker who is a big Veilguard fan because that's the kind of people you are dealing with that support this game. On the new ME5 stuff, yeah they are going full woke and making the main character an Asari with preachy storytelling that the Asari are a non-binary species. No articles about it yet, but that buddy of mine has a contract to playtest it as he had previously showcased his biotics gameplay in ME3 playtesting. No articles about it yet, so wait and see and I am not asking you to "trust me, bro". Time will tell all truths. I really hope Bioware tanks before it's release because Andromeda nearly ruined the franchise and ME5 is looking like it will too (in my opnion).
@@CleverCodger It sounds very believable. Can this information be released early or is your friend not allowed to talk about it? Maybe could do a video on it sometime. Never covered early press before and I was at one time a mass effect obsessive. I appreciate you watching my videos.
@@venomsnack Honestly VenomSnack, I wouldn't even ask him. Ok for me to lose my youtube account to comment but he makes a living off playtesting and QA. Also, after what happened to MrMattyPlays I wouldn't draw that twitter mob on him, myself or you.

You can see it in the immediate tweets from project director Michael Gamble distancing himself from Veilguard. Sorry man, I don't mean to be a tease. I won't put him in that position but I am just so sick of this crap in the gaming industry which is why I am glad to have found this channel.
I 100% believe this about the asari, since the ME boardgame was recently released where Liara is listed as they/them. These freaks put the pronoun nonsense first, ahead of story or anything else.
In my view there will be a video game crash but not as bad as the one b4. Most of the corpo game franchise and companies will go under while those who dont follow the western corpo playbook and make good games will stay alive.
I've started playing Dragan Age Origins again because of this game. I gotta say it's somehow even better than I remember. Takes seeing a turd sometimes to appreciate a diamond.
Ive just remembered where I have seen this style of combat with all its pros and cons - Smite (MOBA). Literally one to one, even the animations and artstyle is similar to the point of plagiarism (wouldnt be the first time in the videogame developement).
Don't feel bad for asmongold for not playing any dragon age games before. Because he talks about playing the souls games all the time and I know he has a PC. He's had plenty of opportunities to pay origins to know how great it used to be
I am gonna keep it a stack, I think Thomas Maler’s thesis on this wrong. We need more people caring about the characters and lore and interpreting them accurately and faithfully. Inserting personal life experiences is actually part of the problem not the solution.
The more I meet real, talented writers, the more I agree. Life experience is irrelevant, what you need is intelligent people with a huge cultural background, very well read and skilled at psychology who can craft characters that feel like real people. They can be the most boring person irl for all I care. And to prove this: bg3 writers read shakespeare to be inspired to write Raphael and his actor won a bafta
I totally agree about the infantile part, but the politically correct. Absolutely not, in what world being nonbinary is politically correct. Not offencing a democratic, dont mean PC in the real sense. They are direct to a minor demographic. The term PC is always attribute to the minor demo of population, which is the alphavbetical maffia. And DA is not bad in writing only, but in lvl design, in combat design, in pacing, in puzzle. All is an apology to mediocrity. Instead of PC its MC mediocracy correct.
I agree with almost everything you say. But bringing religion into your argument makes me switch off. Your God whoever he/she is, does not have a monopoly on common sense and morality, and if you do need a God for that, then I'll pray for you.
I'm not going to censor my beliefs because it makes people uncomfortable but thanks for the prayers. I don't believe in religion but I do believe in God.
@@venomsnack I appreciate your candiness, although not your contridictions. I think if you're going to invoke a God, you should be ready to stand by it.
@@dustaone8521 Jesus Christ represents an end to religion, to not live as the Pharisees did (nearly all works based religions). A certain overrepresented group controls most of the worlds finance and power. Jesus rebuked them and was crucified by them and represented them still by blood. Coincidence? Just like he still represents the gentiles who rebuke him by the shedding of his blood. Now whether or not you believe Christ himself is made up by them as a subversion is up to you but from a modern context, as western Civilization rejects him as a collective, the culture is beginning to rot, once the most prosperous in history. Liberalism is atheism, they destroy because they have no basis of morality disconnected from humanism. If we cannot have a clear sense of morality to fall back on, then we will be ideologically enslaved like Russia was, much of south America, and China are. If you're not American or European then sorry for making the assumption.
As a person like me who's tired of both sides of this idiotic cultural war, I believe that a there's always going to be differences in this world. We should always have nuances and different perspectives on our differences even though you might not agree with it. But it's still important to get the idea and perspective of those concepts.
I don't really believe in a "both sides" in this. If it weren't for the activists aggressively gatekeeping every creative industry there would be no culture war, people would just gravitate towards their niche. But these zealots abhor for a niche to exist. They despise anything that isn't a vehicle for their narcissism. So they hijack. They steal. They also constantly project. They complain about "gatekeeping" and "bullying" while do both on an industrial institutional level. They claim to hate colonizing and love multiculturalism, while they successfully colonize every subculture and run them into the ground. They enforce nothing but their bland, safe, patronizing monoculture. If I could get away from it I wouldn't care. But they won't let us be.
So, they guy who wrote some games about a cutesy pie critter, full of pubescent sugary sentimentality is calling other people's work infantile? Gee, and I wonder why Gaming will never be an art.
"...maybe find god." Have to disagree with you there. There is no evidence a god even exists, and it will only lead you down a false path away from reality. So that instead of following the woke hivemind you're following the religious hivemind.
One path makes people at least try to become better human beings who have learned to build good virtues and values, and the woke Marxist cultural path makes you resentful and vengeful to the point that these people cannot deal with objective reality, wanting to burn and destroy society and punish good and decent people for not agreeing with their nonsense.
He’s very wrong that these people “had the best intentions”
Those who declare war on the traditional family unit will never have "Good" intentions.
@@legiran9564I don't care what people do in their bedrooms and how they do it. But still, I don't want Pronouns in my games. Live and let live.
It’s not about what they do. It’s about what they make you say, and ultimately getting you to bend fundamentals to their will. In this case, genders.
