Then I got a job with some snooty highborn, had to hunt rabbits with the fuck, ran into a group of 3 soldiers and then got my ass handed to me so bad I restarted from a previous save to re-learn the combat.... i love this game lol

Silence after a source is my favorite thing about discussions

Sees the article, sees the claim, sees the rebuttal, sides with brain worm man?

I gotta get off this rock.

He's not blaming individuals, he's blaming a collective. A conglomerate of willfully ignorant, and often hateful, voters. So yes, don't personally attribute this to Bill So-and-so, but if you see Bill fly a confederate flag and talk about trans kids, you know Bill is part of the collective and you can go ahead and add some blame on his pile.

But in the US, the average reading comprehension stopped around 6th grade. I don't think a good chunk of Americans under 35 have more than a VERY passing knowledge of Mussolini (and they probably confuse half of it with Stalin)

Those of us that know now remove as much of her equipment as possible before it happens. I like to think the girl now knows it's coming too, or is deeply concerned about being asked to go into battle with her starting gear again

Start a thread for that instead of commenting on one specifically for America

My brother is a car salesman, I was a car salesman, it's sleaze all the way to the top. Never met an honest car salesman, and the ones that were semi decent were still pumping their fists over 12-pounders sold to unwitting and often financially compromised individuals

"Don't manage someone else's money" was the sentiment I was told time and again if i dared bring up how shitty it was to even offer an old woman with poor credit a $700/mo payment on a shit CVT ass lease.

You don't have to be a cop, you don't have to sell insurance, you don't have to sell cars. Calling jobs primarily inhabited by manipulative people 'slimy' is just how that works.

Yeah I'm with the other guys, having made both versions, these are not the same cake. It's a pretty common myth though, like, frighteningly common. Did someone tell you growing up that they were the same? My mother did, but my mother was a bad cook

Fuck Ivan Moody, i loved motograter's sound but the five finger death punch turn and then subsequent military fallatiating killed him for me

Do i want to sell all my worldly possessions for one more chance at a chromed out Common joker? No. Will I? Yes

Adding all the points together feels useless as a metric. But 2.6 per individual doesn't sound as drastic as I was expecting leaded gas to impact. Still bad, just not what I'd call a huge impact.

Someone still took the time to downvote your opinion that it 'was fine'. The vitriol towards any positive or neutral comment is why I think it's a specific group of people actually complaining, a fair share with "it could have been better, and it's not my style of rpg anymore", and the remainder just being relatively neutral to happy that they got more dragon age.

But, to drive home in case it isn't clear, I love Dragon Age and I think this one ranks higher than Inquisition (but not trespasser DLC), on par with 2, and above 1 for me. I do not think it's a Pinnacle of modern writing, it definitely suffered from some development struggles and that comes through in the final act as things get a little rushed and content feels more like a drip than a faucet. But then it wraps up well, or I thought it did.

It can use improvements, but I feel about it as i felt about 2 when it came out. "This is a change, and I'm not sure it's what i wanted, but I do like the universe and the combat is a lot of fun and the characters as a whole are interesting".

I only see that in some communities. Most of the people that hate on veilguard, from what I've seen, either haven't played the game or are clipping parts out of context.

The complaints I've seen that aren't "dur hur, binary qunari" talk about the shaky dialogue in the beginning, where things felt awkward and clunky, like a new team forming. I'll give credence to the complaints about some depth being lost in the characters versus other games in the series, but I think those people feel that way because Inquisituon was a bloated mess (that I love) and they've played 1 and 2 so many times in different ways they're meshing all the dialogue into one. Playing through veilguard a second time, and watching my partner take different choices than me, made the characters on par with Mass Effect 2 allies. Which, I'd say isn't an accomplishment so much as a mild chastisement that it hasn't improved since then.

Dracula flow will never not be funny to me. The cadence is just perfect

Is that how airlines work where you are? It'd be wild for me to not pick my seat

"I will definitely commit crimes and legal falsehoods for my dog, and fuck anyone who disagrees"

I get it. He'd do it for me, so I'd do it for him

Yeah, because we were stupid back then lol. I still have some people swear to me that using a mouse is a crutch, but those are getting fewer and farther between

I disagree, GUI's are more visually appealing and allow for faster intake of the most important information (according to the designer) information. If it was all plain text I think the internet would be a terribly boring place to crawl through.
