Skill Up saying Prince Charming from Shrek 2 would fit in without any updates. . .

Shrek 2 was 20 years ago

ut that doesn’t change the fact that DA fans were big fricking mad when they were released.
DA:I was not great, but it was good

It got repetitive, which was it's biggest flaw.

It definitely got the characters and the tone right.

DA2 had amazing writing and characters, probably better than origins. It's flaw was the lazy level design. But then I found out the entire game was made in a year. Timeline like that, and you are going to need to cut corners

So....this game???

New video game 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard' has an entire nearly 2-minute long cutscene on how to apologize if you use the "wrong" pronouns or misgender.

It also offers options to add double mastectomy scars and gender neutral pronouns to your character.

Western AAA development is in a truly horrible place

The IGN Portugal one, in Portuguese, doesn't even make sense grammatically, not to mention it has other errors:

"Dragon Age: The Veilguard é um regresso à forma do BioWare"

In Portugal, we do not say forma in this sense, fórmula, sure, not forma. Funny that it also uses the male "do" for Bioware, a company, when we usually use the genderless "de".

I do wonder if they gave these reviewers a template to copy from and they just badly translated them.

I also speak Portuguese, but from Brazil, and I have to agree with you. This phrase sounds way too weird. Clearly it sounds like someone from EA demanded for this kind of wording to be in the review.

(Quando ao "de", aqui a gente usaria "da" Bioware)

Yeah, this is looking like Andromeda Middle Earth. A $30 game with a $60 title.

Started Matty's video, one thing he addressed was how big he was on this game during the preview. He said EA and/or Bioware were intentionally deceptive about what parts of the game they were playing. Where he ended up at in the preview with what he was told was the end of Act 1 was actually in Act 9, about 75% through the game.

Seems kind of silly they withheld review codes for any reviewers that gave honest reviews from the preview event.

On console, the fact that the game runs at either 720p 60 FPS or 1080p 30 FPS is disgusting to me

Grummz was so excited about this. A bunch of people who were part of the review, including Matty, called him out for it being fake.

The pronoun apology scene is ever worse. No for me. This is trash. Once again, I liked Hogwarts Legacy. I didn't care about the trans bartender. This is hamfisted trash written by someone with zero talent.... but sooooo brave.

Heard a tweet say it best, this is Dragon's Age if it were co-made by Pixar and GLAAD.

Grummz said in the replies that he is inclined to think it is fake

Matty even put that in his response:

The creator of this post even stated they are inclined to believe it is untrue.

Runs great on PC, apparently

Most of the positive reviews revolve around that. Typically they say:

-Combat is meh
-Story is weak
-art style is weak
-lacks compelling companions
-100fps

9/10

Yeah, he was excited.

Instead of running with it like this big gotcha, he could have reached out to Matty to confirm, and Matty would have replied.

After the fact.

Matty already had to deal with what I think I was someone leaking embargoed gameplay footage under a fake account under his name, had to deal with EA to sort it out. So he was none too thrilled that grummz decided to run with a "leaked" NDA claiming it was from him.

Grummz could have easily confirmed if that was real or not, but he's so eaten up to try to find the next woke conspiracy that he couldn't wait.
