A variety of negative personality traits are common amongst people, with gys narcissism is pretty high. So many gys respond with absolute vitriol over normal men wanting to see normal relations between men and women and not really caring for gy romances. They act like it's an unforgivable sin that the majority of men just aren't into anything related to gy romances. We know gys exist, yet many of them practically demand that we consume content with it being the focus. That the historical human norm of stories and films featuring normal relations between men and women, romance, is somehow unjust. The normal state of man is between men and women. Of course the absolute majority of men want to see a guy get a woman, not a man with another man. It's normal, has been since the day man set a single foot on the earth. It's like demanding the sun never rises and instead have the moon take its place. How dare the sun be an intricate aspect to life on earth, where every living thing is dependent on it.

@@serijas737 Depends on what you mean by "expect" If you mean in the sense of "anticipate" then no, they don't care about Mass Effect. If you mean in the sense of "demand" then yes, I won't spend money on their board game otherwise.

At least Volition didn't drag their name through the mud too bad before it was taken out to pasture. I mean... the Saints Row reboot was awful, but that was it. They didn't make a Fallout 76, then a Starfield, or an Anthem, then a Failguard, etc. They made a bunch of great games, one bad one, then collapsed.
thx for the heart Venom, but ya. Shit's crazy right now in the AAA scene for the west at least. just keeping an eye on Eastern Games like Crimson Desert and stuff. Path of Exile 2 is the only thing coming out right now in the west. Stick with AA games and Indie games guys and NEVER GET ATTACHED TO STUDIOS! Witcher 3 is god tier and Cyberpunk made a comeback but NOW?!? ya, Witcher 4 is DOA.
They tried to do this back with andromeda. One of the conversations you can over here is someone talking to an Asari and he says "uh im sorry, I don't know what pronoun to use" and the asari replies with "oh, we go by she and they ones. But thank you for asking" they're still trying to say that asari are non binary. I really hope this is the end of BioWare.
Genuinely don't remember this in andromeda but that sounds like ass. The actual gameplay in that game was great though, seems like they cant do that well anymore either.
I'm really looking forward to The Veilguard release. I mean watching all of the reviews making fun of it and Bioware finally being taken out back like Old Yeller. Not actually buying and playing the game, god no.
I gave up on Bioware after ME3's ending and Andromeda was the final nail. After Veilguard, they literally couldn't pay me to sit through their gender indoctrination slop. Can't wait for them to be shut down.
Hating and insulting people is a strange way to try and win people over. "It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em." Pepper Brooks
I will never understand contradiction and hypocrisy of insulting fans for not buying and liking these poor quality games yet they are still desperate for our money and success. Acting like a bunch of manbabies, themselves. "Bully into submission until I get what I want" tactic.
Toddlers throwing tantrums until they get what they want. I've noticed those kinď around me and my daughter, a college lecturer has noticed it too, they have stopped growing emotionally from the child stage. Watch a toddler and see what I mean.
Bottom line is that, with this shit infecting the culture, consumers have to be careful and research every new game before they buy. Along with story, gameplay and graphics, game reviewers should add a “woke” score so we can completely avoid these kinds of games.
They made one but it's too strict imo. For instance skipping the entire elden ring because of the type A body stupidity would be a very poor decision as it's one of the best games of the decade.
@@venomsnack Agree, a woke score would have to be done intelligently. Just like when discussing story or combat, reviewers could list the pros and cons, factor it into the overall score, and leave the viewer to decide. (BTW are you saying some reviewers are already doing this? I haven’t seen it.)
I think profits are no longer the primary concern. Whatever benefits these companies get for churning out ESG propaganda and putting activists in positions of power, are clearly more important than sales.
Interviewer - So, what can you tell us about Veilguard? Corrine - I've always wanted to see myself represented in an RPG setting. - Yes, but what about the game itself? - I think that everyone should really feel themselves in a game... - What? - What?
Let’s hope this BioWare team get axed. None of the old members, or too few of them remain to care of the old games and their legacy. And hopefully folks keep track of the heads’ names so it’s a warning for any future projects they may be involved in.
Some people keep shilling saying bioware are doing things to build good will? Hmm.. Adding none binary/pronoun bs that dont belong in a medieval fantasy game Character creation sliders downgraded cause male gaze bad Attacking fans on social media over their opinions Getting rid of the Keep and making all choices meaningless. This may be the last we see of Bioware. Breaks my heart cause im an even bigger of mass effect and that games fate is definitely not looking good..😩😞 Review sites like IGN and gamspot will likely give high scores cause they will purely be paid to do so. As will most reviewers. Seeing the high scores from many major sites will only concern me. Not excite me. That being said, i will be playing the game to judge for myself. Not cause some reviewer like ign said its good.🙄
Worry not, for you will never see a new Bioware Mass Effect game. Dragon Age Veilgaurd will make the financial loss of Concorde look like a joke. Bioware will be skuttled and the entire organization will be dismantled, EA will hang on to the IP, make a mobile game in 2028, then it will slowly drift away...
Who needs the ancient elven gods or reapers, when you have developers already destroying the world? And in the meanwhile, they pushed people like me into the fade... There are no more heroes that can save BioWare.
You know, the neo-pronouns were stupid to begin with... but I feel like they're getting worse. Bioware, EA, and the Mass Effect team seem to have forgotten that the whole idiot convention was "subject pronoun / object pronoun." "They / Them" = They are over there. Give that to them. Tickle them. "She / They" = She is over there. Give that to they. Tickle they. It's somehow worse than it was. They found a layer below rock bottom, and they're still going for it. I'm so relieved that I'm not buying Dragon Age: The Veilguard or any other Bioware titles ever again. I have no patience for this slop.
Everyone wants a ME4 continuation of the story. I do, everyone I know that's played does, but we all have to remember the golden rule. It's not our BioWare. Everyone who made DAO, ME, and other great games has left the studio. Anything you buy from the current BioWare isn't the days of old. Ìf they fold...they fold. ME3 was the last great game they made, period.
So, they don´t wanna address the whole "Asari is a mono gendered species that the rest of the galaxy identifies as female"?. The only time the asari talk about gender is that during procreation, whatever species they mate with the child will always be an asari. Asari don´t "identifies" as female or male, they sometimes Identifiy however as whatever species their dad was, hell, in Liara´s case it shouldn´t even be "she/they" it should say "a quarter krogan". This is fucking embarrassing
Any game that releases and pushes ANY sort of DEI will not make the money it was supposed to. People are done. Wallets closed to any ESG game. We're not just going after games...we're going after companies that push the DEI agenda. Gamers will not buy anything from a company that pushes an agenda in their games or their hiring.
Bioware is going down. We'll almost. It's falling just like Ubisoft. It's quite there yet. I can hope their drops this woke agenda. And just make great games again.
Someone should go over ME and make a collab of all the times Liara is called "her" and not "they". Would be a good fact to hold against this "gendermancy".
Played about 6-7 hours and enjoyed it so far. I don't require top surgery scars and it's a little cutsie for my liking at times but theres compelling stuff too
I was a fan of Bioware and frankly.... I now waiting a long time before buying anything from this studio. I'm not defending here Bioware but.... Is this Bioware (in 2024..) still the same Bioware founded in 1995 ? I guess NOT ! It's a good example of one key point in life : evolution ! Yes, Bioware was really a gifted company, back in the days... Things are changing.....
do you really think we going to have another mass effect ?? if dragon age flop hard it is farewell bioware we saw how electronic art react with dead space, sims city, red alert when those franchises flopped
Almost all people at BioWare are new, there is no one left from team who made the original trilogy of ME or DA. They don’t care about that franchises, the universes, or their fans. I don’t even understand who else doubted that this games wouldn’t be trash. Trash unreliable people can make only trash unreliable game.
It was funny laughing at all this absurd nonsense with memes and such, but now its getting depressing af. No wonder Asian media and indies are taking over while these once great studios are now closing in the midst of another AAA western gaming crash. They will never learn as it isn't about entertainment to them as they only care about pushing modern social agendas above all else with disastrous results every time. I'm also sick of this ultra lame cringe millennial/gen z MCU quipping style writing everywhere like it's all made for 5 year olds when they are supposed to be M-Rated media :-)
If the new Mass Effect has been in development for the past few years already then yes, it will be just as bad if not worse than Veilguard. My hope is Veilguard loses so much money that EA will shutter BioWare and it will exist in name only. EA may release a new Mass Effect with the BioWare name but none of the people responsible for Veilguard will have anything to do with it unless EA is also so infested with ideology that they allow the higher ups at BioWare to fail upwards.
Have the mighty have fallen into disgrace. It's such a shame that the studio we once know is full with idiots or just pushing nonsense instead of good gameplay. No wonder games from Eastern countries are dominating the market.
... don't buy the game don't play the game stop giving companies your time energy and money when you know that they hate you. It's not that complicated.
The Asari are officially, even since the first game, explicitly stated to be a race with characteristics of both genders. Liars even said they don't define themselves as either 1, but the thing is, prior to people who hate gaming getting their hands on ME, it wasn't remotely anything the that defined this fictional race of aliens. Now, it will be the only thing defining this fictional race of aliens. Sad really, to see where gaming has ended up in.
no asari allways where female, not something else, you never played the games never read the lore behind it. asari allways where from the start an all female race, they had no concept of other genders, they even didn`t know there was more than one gender before they colonized other planets and meet other species. they don`t even have a word for their own gender in their own language because there was no other then what they are themselves. just females nothing else that is what asari allways where and allways will be. talk too liara in mass effect 1 she will explain it too you if you can`t understand this simple fact. no asari ever in the entire mass effect universe would ever define themselves as something other than females, sry but they are not stupid they understand biology very very well.
Is mass effect next Isnt even a question 😂mass effect is DONE the last one should’ve been the sign and the heads of the classic mass effect we love are making exodus the game now
Bioware in name only lacks the chops to make a good game. Just look at the quality of their games after EA bought them up, it has gone down hill. Talent left and what toke their place? -Hacks and poltical motivated people, that have no idea what they are doing. That bord game was a fuck up, they made a bad thing into a PR nightmare. Asari are monogenered race, only females. Liara is the best girl. Exidus is in the works, made by the talent that left Bioware. Ex Bioware talent. I think DAV will flop. EA will sharpen its axe. If some odd reason, EA lets ME5 be a thing, no idea what happend to the 4th game, lost in traffic? If the new ME game gets alowed to be made, and that game is a flop, Bioware is dead as a door nail. It is odd that EA didn't axe Bioware after the mess that Andromida was. I fear there might be Andromida 2,0 in the making.
the fact that a game test came out and said one of the companion call herself they/them bro image you play the game and you heard your companions said that, I would not even finish the damn game and I beat all 3 dragon age game but this one, I won't even finish and the best part all the leak, the bad thing we find out about this game it that it save me money, and other to cause I bet people already pre-order and cancel it or was going buy this game day 1 but after all the bad shit we learn decide not to
ME4 will suck. There are zero games I am hyped for this year or the next. Find hobbies outside of gaming or dig through old/indy games that are actually good. Maybe Routine will be good if it ever releases.
You need to stop forcing people to like stuff they obviously don't like. Read the room. Don't Gaslight us. And most importantly treat people how you want to be treated, Genuinely. Not backhanded like you all do.
@@madmantheepic7278 there's different teams that work on different games, could just be that SBI wormed their way into this new DA game and whoever is in charge of ME won't let it happen. But if it does, then all we need to do is not buy these games, DA Veilguard was never even on my wishlist ever since I saw that first trailer.
Are people really that upset about a game providing character chreator options like pronouns and having LGBT characters? Last i checked, the game isnt about pronouns. At least they didnt add xe/xem, zi/zir, and those other made up pronouns. Ultimately, im playing it cause its an rpg and i think it looks good. My only issue is the look of the qunari (surely will be fixed with mods), the linear maps (i was hoping more open world). I think its sad that so many are complaining about a game giving us options to, i dont know, role play a LGBT character if we choose. Fun fact, LGBT community exists and isnt going anywhere. But hey we could just make it non-inclusive to the extreme and favor one race and ethnicity. But oh, that would make the other races and ethnicity feel excluded. Seriously, if you dont like it thats fine, but the DEI hate isnt a valid reason to shit on it. Society had to enforce DEI in order to escape racism. But i guess some think the perfect game is one that LGBT-phobic and racist.
I honestly love the inclusion and 'woke' inclusion being represented more and more. The big pronouns in the board game seemed very unnecessary and very pushy, even to someone that loves the inclusion though... I hold hope for DA4. BUT if it does fail... it is not that it is being 'woke'.... it will fail because of the ridiculous production, the change in staff, the again and again change in direction... Being 'woke' is really not going to be the games issue...
mate asari are literally genderless, they have no gender, they just called every asari "she" because it was easier at the time. its not a big deal, and mass effect is my favorite franchise
People are really upset about pronouns written on a board in a board game? Sounds like fragile snowflake behavior to me. Also has nothing to do with Dragon Age: Veilguard, which may bad or may be good. BioWare is definitely under pressure to release a well received game though, that’s for sure.
Maybe because it's just forced DEI crap , Asari are race without gender and pronouns are nothing to them but shure . Also with that they/them stuff, they literally have Hanar but thoes DEI wirkers probably have no idea about the lore .

@@serijas737 Depends on what you mean by "expect"
If you mean in the sense of "anticipate" then no, they don't care about Mass Effect.
If you mean in the sense of "demand" then yes, I won't spend money on their board game otherwise.
Quality Loreposting Quan, the world needs your kin more now than ever.
@@venomsnack you're looking really ignorant with that comment. he litteraly just debunked you showing you that bioware created a genderless romanceable race in 2007, and all you can say is "errerr QuAliTY lORepOsting qUaN"

chill out, liaras a woman. I know already
Western gaming is in a very poor state this year
Not just western lol.
Dragon Age is dead as a door nail.
It's safe to say Bioware is going down the Volition path and we all know how they ended up
At least Volition didn't drag their name through the mud too bad before it was taken out to pasture. I mean... the Saints Row reboot was awful, but that was it. They didn't make a Fallout 76, then a Starfield, or an Anthem, then a Failguard, etc. They made a bunch of great games, one bad one, then collapsed.
It was my utmost pleasure to give some support on the video. Excellent as always mate.
0:40 wrex in drag?
I'm hittin' that. 🗿
thx for the heart Venom, but ya. Shit's crazy right now in the AAA scene for the west at least. just keeping an eye on Eastern Games like Crimson Desert and stuff. Path of Exile 2 is the only thing coming out right now in the west. Stick with AA games and Indie games guys and NEVER GET ATTACHED TO STUDIOS! Witcher 3 is god tier and Cyberpunk made a comeback but NOW?!? ya, Witcher 4 is DOA.
They tried to do this back with andromeda. One of the conversations you can over here is someone talking to an Asari and he says "uh im sorry, I don't know what pronoun to use" and the asari replies with "oh, we go by she and they ones. But thank you for asking" they're still trying to say that asari are non binary. I really hope this is the end of BioWare.
Genuinely don't remember this in andromeda but that sounds like ass. The actual gameplay in that game was great though, seems like they cant do that well anymore either.
In ME3 Citadle DLC there's a convo, where Liara says something about men, and Samara says something like "perhaps we are lucky we don't have any".
@@bengunn9670 and it was developed by BioWare Montreal who also made andromeda. Explains alot.
I'm really looking forward to The Veilguard release. I mean watching all of the reviews making fun of it and Bioware finally being taken out back like Old Yeller. Not actually buying and playing the game, god no.
I gave up on Bioware after ME3's ending and Andromeda was the final nail. After Veilguard, they literally couldn't pay me to sit through their gender indoctrination slop. Can't wait for them to be shut down.
Hating and insulting people is a strange way to try and win people over.
"It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em." Pepper Brooks
I will never understand contradiction and hypocrisy of insulting fans for not buying and liking these poor quality games yet they are still desperate for our money and success. Acting like a bunch of manbabies, themselves. "Bully into submission until I get what I want" tactic.
Toddlers throwing tantrums until they get what they want. I've noticed those kinď around me and my daughter, a college lecturer has noticed it too, they have stopped growing emotionally from the child stage. Watch a toddler and see what I mean.
@@angelmessenger8240 Exactly. The childish outbursts certain adults have are completely similar to how a child acts.
Bottom line is that, with this shit infecting the culture, consumers have to be careful and research every new game before they buy. Along with story, gameplay and graphics, game reviewers should add a “woke” score so we can completely avoid these kinds of games.
They made one but it's too strict imo. For instance skipping the entire elden ring because of the type A body stupidity would be a very poor decision as it's one of the best games of the decade.
@@venomsnack Agree, a woke score would have to be done intelligently. Just like when discussing story or combat, reviewers could list the pros and cons, factor it into the overall score, and leave the viewer to decide. (BTW are you saying some reviewers are already doing this? I haven’t seen it.)
Top shelf stuff (this video). No lies told, no errors made. Cheers, chief!
Just hearing the ME1 music takes me back in time.
wait for Exodus, the new game from the real ex-Mass Effect Devs and skip the next woke effect
I think profits are no longer the primary concern. Whatever benefits these companies get for churning out ESG propaganda and putting activists in positions of power, are clearly more important than sales.
Great video! Think you could grow a lot
from BioWare to BuyerBeware
That must have taken all day to come up with that zinger! Only the top minds spend their day petrified a wild pronoun might strike them!
Interviewer - So, what can you tell us about Veilguard?
Corrine - I've always wanted to see myself represented in an RPG setting.
- Yes, but what about the game itself?
- I think that everyone should really feel themselves in a game...
- What?
- What?
my head canon Solas ended the world in Inquisition, this new game is a pipe nightmare
I had to laugh about "rainbow mafia". It's got a nice ring to it 😆
Let’s hope this BioWare team get axed.
None of the old members, or too few of them remain to care of the old games and their legacy.
And hopefully folks keep track of the heads’ names so it’s a warning for any future projects they may be involved in.
premium content 👍
Some people keep shilling saying bioware are doing things to build good will? Hmm..
Adding none binary/pronoun bs that dont belong in a medieval fantasy game
Character creation sliders downgraded cause male gaze bad
Attacking fans on social media over their opinions
Getting rid of the Keep and making all choices meaningless.
This may be the last we see of Bioware. Breaks my heart cause im an even bigger of mass effect and that games fate is definitely not looking good..😩😞
Review sites like IGN and gamspot will likely give high scores cause they will purely be paid to do so. As will most reviewers. Seeing the high scores from many major sites will only concern me. Not excite me. That being said, i will be playing the game to judge for myself. Not cause some reviewer like ign said its good.🙄
EA, Ubisoft, Swee tBaby Inc and Blizzard should be arrested for crimes against gaming.
Bioware has been dead in all but name for years. It is time to finally bury the corpse.
something first must burn to be reborn
In tempet to replay mass effect just to find evidence of liara being referred to as "her"
Worry not, for you will never see a new Bioware Mass Effect game. Dragon Age Veilgaurd will make the financial loss of Concorde look like a joke. Bioware will be skuttled and the entire organization will be dismantled, EA will hang on to the IP, make a mobile game in 2028, then it will slowly drift away...
True just like they made a mobile game of Red Alert/Command And Conquer and that was all... poof, gone, dead.
Who needs the ancient elven gods or reapers, when you have developers already destroying the world? And in the meanwhile, they pushed people like me into the fade...
There are no more heroes that can save BioWare.
You know, the neo-pronouns were stupid to begin with... but I feel like they're getting worse.
Bioware, EA, and the Mass Effect team seem to have forgotten that the whole idiot convention was "subject pronoun / object pronoun."
"They / Them" = They are over there. Give that to them. Tickle them.
"She / They" = She is over there. Give that to they. Tickle they.
It's somehow worse than it was. They found a layer below rock bottom, and they're still going for it. I'm so relieved that I'm not buying Dragon Age: The Veilguard or any other Bioware titles ever again. I have no patience for this slop.
Everyone wants a ME4 continuation of the story. I do, everyone I know that's played does, but we all have to remember the golden rule. It's not our BioWare. Everyone who made DAO, ME, and other great games has left the studio. Anything you buy from the current BioWare isn't the days of old. Ìf they fold...they fold. ME3 was the last great game they made, period.
let the council die during war in citadel
ah good times
big L to those claiming Mass Effect would be safe because it's made by another team, they never learn 🤣
So, they don´t wanna address the whole "Asari is a mono gendered species that the rest of the galaxy identifies as female"?. The only time the asari talk about gender is that during procreation, whatever species they mate with the child will always be an asari. Asari don´t "identifies" as female or male, they sometimes Identifiy however as whatever species their dad was, hell, in Liara´s case it shouldn´t even be "she/they" it should say "a quarter krogan". This is fucking embarrassing
Actually incorrect, but I'm frankly impressed you can even type. So cheers on that front.
the only thing im loving about veilguard is the only thing i loved from Inquisition- The Tarot Card art. whoever that artist is rocks.
Any game that releases and pushes ANY sort of DEI will not make the money it was supposed to.
People are done. Wallets closed to any ESG game.
We're not just going after games...we're going after companies that push the DEI agenda.
Gamers will not buy anything from a company that pushes an agenda in their games or their hiring.
Mass Effect is a trilogy and it should stay like this.
I have absolutely no desire to buy The Veilguard
None
I just going to reinstall and play the good old games.
Bioware is going down. We'll almost. It's falling just like Ubisoft. It's quite there yet. I can hope their drops this woke agenda. And just make great games again.
The board game already chose preferred pronouns over proofreading for spelling errors.
Someone should go over ME and make a collab of all the times Liara is called "her" and not "they". Would be a good fact to hold against this "gendermancy".
Played about 6-7 hours and enjoyed it so far. I don't require top surgery scars and it's a little cutsie for my liking at times but theres compelling stuff too
I was a fan of Bioware and frankly.... I now waiting a long time before buying anything from this studio.
I'm not defending here Bioware but.... Is this Bioware (in 2024..) still the same Bioware founded in 1995 ? I guess NOT !
It's a good example of one key point in life : evolution !
Yes, Bioware was really a gifted company, back in the days... Things are changing.....
do you really think we going to have another mass effect ??
if dragon age flop hard it is farewell bioware
we saw how electronic art react with dead space, sims city, red alert when those franchises flopped
The one time you should really listen to Steve Brule's advice
Almost all people at BioWare are new, there is no one left from team who made the original trilogy of ME or DA. They don’t care about that franchises, the universes, or their fans. I don’t even understand who else doubted that this games wouldn’t be trash. Trash unreliable people can make only trash unreliable game.
It was funny laughing at all this absurd nonsense with memes and such, but now its getting depressing af. No wonder Asian media and indies are taking over while these once great studios are now closing in the midst of another AAA western gaming crash. They will never learn as it isn't about entertainment to them as they only care about pushing modern social agendas above all else with disastrous results every time. I'm also sick of this ultra lame cringe millennial/gen z MCU quipping style writing everywhere like it's all made for 5 year olds when they are supposed to be M-Rated media :-)
This isn’t BioWare anymore. The/gay aren’t getting any of my money
If the new Mass Effect has been in development for the past few years already then yes, it will be just as bad if not worse than Veilguard. My hope is Veilguard loses so much money that EA will shutter BioWare and it will exist in name only. EA may release a new Mass Effect with the BioWare name but none of the people responsible for Veilguard will have anything to do with it unless EA is also so infested with ideology that they allow the higher ups at BioWare to fail upwards.
So... Giving a 1 on BGG, got it. Here I go Mass Effect.
Modders are going to have plenty of work to do with this game.
Have the mighty have fallen into disgrace. It's such a shame that the studio we once know is full with idiots or just pushing nonsense instead of good gameplay. No wonder games from Eastern countries are dominating the market.
... don't buy the game don't play the game stop giving companies your time energy and money when you know that they hate you. It's not that complicated.
The Asari are officially, even since the first game, explicitly stated to be a race with characteristics of both genders.
Liars even said they don't define themselves as either 1, but the thing is, prior to people who hate gaming getting their hands on ME, it wasn't remotely anything the that defined this fictional race of aliens.
Now, it will be the only thing defining this fictional race of aliens. Sad really, to see where gaming has ended up in.
no asari allways where female, not something else, you never played the games never read the lore behind it.
asari allways where from the start an all female race, they had no concept of other genders, they even didn`t know there was more than one gender before they colonized other planets and meet other species. they don`t even have a word for their own gender in their own language because there was no other then what they are themselves.
just females nothing else that is what asari allways where and allways will be.
talk too liara in mass effect 1 she will explain it too you if you can`t understand this simple fact.
no asari ever in the entire mass effect universe would ever define themselves as something other than females, sry but they are not stupid they understand biology very very well.
Is mass effect next Isnt even a question 😂mass effect is DONE the last one should’ve been the sign and the heads of the classic mass effect we love are making exodus the game now
Why do pronouns bother people so much?
Huh. Didn't know this game wasn't even out yet.
Damn right I'm A man, baby. But also non-buynary!
Bioware in name only lacks the chops to make a good game. Just look at the quality of their games after EA bought them up, it has gone down hill. Talent left and what toke their place? -Hacks and poltical motivated people, that have no idea what they are doing. That bord game was a fuck up, they made a bad thing into a PR nightmare. Asari are monogenered race, only females. Liara is the best girl. Exidus is in the works, made by the talent that left Bioware. Ex Bioware talent. I think DAV will flop. EA will sharpen its axe. If some odd reason, EA lets ME5 be a thing, no idea what happend to the 4th game, lost in traffic? If the new ME game gets alowed to be made, and that game is a flop, Bioware is dead as a door nail. It is odd that EA didn't axe Bioware after the mess that Andromida was. I fear there might be Andromida 2,0 in the making.
the fact that a game test came out and said one of the companion call herself they/them bro image you play the game and you heard your companions said that, I would not even finish the damn game and I beat all 3 dragon age game but this one, I won't even finish and the best part all the leak, the bad thing we find out about this game it that it save me money, and other to cause I bet people already pre-order and cancel it or was going buy this game day 1 but after all the bad shit we learn decide not to
DEI Age: The Fail Hard.
Lol, a death by thousand pronouns. Don't wish it on my worst enemies.
ME4 will suck. There are zero games I am hyped for this year or the next. Find hobbies outside of gaming or dig through old/indy games that are actually good. Maybe Routine will be good if it ever releases.
Yuh, games gotten worse every game since origins
wait so if i choose to romance Liara in Mass effect and she/them pronoun is that make me polygamy person 🤔
bioware og deves left long time ago. they just using their name at this point for some free publicity
Update on silent hill 2 selling badly? 😂
Dragonaids FAILguard
Perfect start
ED2 meme...subbed
Im nonbuynary for sure
It's all so tiresome
Take the pronouns out, Is the MA board game shitty?
I like the box art I'll say that. Also KHHHAAAAAN.

I'm looking forward to it. Have my copy downloaded. Good to see peak BioWare back.
wow. this video didn't age well before it came out.
Hopefully whoever is in charge of creative decisions for the next ME won't have the same agenda.
HAHAHA, that's hilarious... wait you're serious? You can't seriously believe that after all of this shtshow, they would back down on the agenda?
@@madmantheepic7278 there's different teams that work on different games, could just be that SBI wormed their way into this new DA game and whoever is in charge of ME won't let it happen. But if it does, then all we need to do is not buy these games, DA Veilguard was never even on my wishlist ever since I saw that first trailer.
Are people really that upset about a game providing character chreator options like pronouns and having LGBT characters? Last i checked, the game isnt about pronouns. At least they didnt add xe/xem, zi/zir, and those other made up pronouns. Ultimately, im playing it cause its an rpg and i think it looks good. My only issue is the look of the qunari (surely will be fixed with mods), the linear maps (i was hoping more open world). I think its sad that so many are complaining about a game giving us options to, i dont know, role play a LGBT character if we choose. Fun fact, LGBT community exists and isnt going anywhere. But hey we could just make it non-inclusive to the extreme and favor one race and ethnicity. But oh, that would make the other races and ethnicity feel excluded.
Seriously, if you dont like it thats fine, but the DEI hate isnt a valid reason to shit on it. Society had to enforce DEI in order to escape racism. But i guess some think the perfect game is one that LGBT-phobic and racist.
What you’re born as is not the same as what or who you wanna screw or get screwed by.
I honestly love the inclusion and 'woke' inclusion being represented more and more.
The big pronouns in the board game seemed very unnecessary and very pushy, even to someone that loves the inclusion though...
I hold hope for DA4. BUT if it does fail... it is not that it is being 'woke'.... it will fail because of the ridiculous production, the change in staff, the again and again change in direction... Being 'woke' is really not going to be the games issue...
Seriously. 😒 This is what you are crying about? Wow.
mate asari are literally genderless, they have no gender, they just called every asari "she" because it was easier at the time. its not a big deal, and mass effect is my favorite franchise
People are really upset about pronouns written on a board in a board game? Sounds like fragile snowflake behavior to me.
Also has nothing to do with Dragon Age: Veilguard, which may bad or may be good. BioWare is definitely under pressure to release a well received game though, that’s for sure.
Humans aren’t genderblind, unless they are blind, deaf, and/or have mental issues. Pronouns are cringe to use, when we can see what they are.
Maybe because it's just forced DEI crap , Asari are race without gender and pronouns are nothing to them but shure . Also with that they/them stuff, they literally have Hanar but thoes DEI wirkers probably have no idea about the lore .
