Dragon Age Creator Slams "Woke" Criticism: "You're an Idiot"

Simplicity to access the content is important, but I'd argue just as important is they've tried to make the games simple and appealing to everyone, and they end up not really appealing to anyone. Make an interesting game for the people that want it. Don't make a game no one wants.
-
Dragon Age's drop in reputation had nothing to do with launchers, given many if not most players were on console.
"Simplicity" is arguably what killed it, because they had an excellent formula with Origins, and "simplified" it to the point it lost its identity as a true RPG.

Inquisition was excellent and underrated
-
For me I loved Dragon Age 2 beacuse I came from Mass Effect and the streamlined effect totally felt like an ME game to me. Also loved the idea of setting things in one city it was something different. Totally get why people don't like it tho.
-
Inquisition wasn't quite as bad, I actually enjoyed it because it made an attempt to walk back some of the "streamlining" from 2, though obviously they both pale in comparison to Origins.
I was kind of hopeful they'd rediscovered their identity somewhat with Inquisition, but 4 looks like that hope was misplaced. They doubled down on abandoning the RPG in favor of the overly simplistic button masher with a smattering of RPG elements that are more or less meaningless.

I disagree. I preferred 2 and 3 to 1. Obviously YMMV and that's fine
-
Aye, let's agree to respect each other's opinion. No matter how wrong yours might be.
(joking of course, I actually like 2 a lot despite how clearly unfinished and rushed it was, although I really really disliked 3 except for the romances and the character interactions)
-
I liked Varic in 2 but that's about it. The asset recycling was absolutely mad.

I have one problem with this:
slams
... siiiiigh

Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam goin' down
Welcome to the Space Jam

can you explain?

It's a very overused and absolutely terrible use of a word.
For two reasons:
- It has a predefined meaning, and if you read what the DA creators say, they're not actually "slamming" it. While they're pretty openly hostile - and for good reason - that's a far cry from what someone "slamming" someone else or a quote would be.
- It's inclusion in the headline is for sensationalism, which would not be needed as the "You're an idiot!"-quote already does that. Or maybe it's just surprising how desensitivized people on the net are nowadays.
To think it further, consider the whole headline had been slam-ified:
Dragon Age GOATs slam "woke" lollerz: "Cry moar!"

Game not selling well? Find a tweet from a nobody talking about your shitty game being "woke." Sensationalize it, position yourself as a bastion fighting against the hordes, imply that only by purchasing the failing game can the average liberal "fight back."
Profit.
-
Ffs, there's no conspiracy here mate, the game is meeting expectations. The problem is there are a lot of trolls trying to tear it down because trans people are in it, not that the writers are calling out bigots.
-
Ooh, I know this one! WoTC already did that earlier this year by putting out their own "woke criticism" press-release so that they could secretly introduce gambling as a D&D product via blind-boxes.

Who are these fucking complete garbage people who can conceive of a world where there are elves, dwarves, Qunari and darkspawn, but trans people are a bridge too far?
True Polymorph is a bridge too far, my good sir.
/s
I have no idea what woke even means anymore. It seems to mean "social awareness". Black lives matters kind of a thing. Equal rights for trans people too of course. That doesn't mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people. Or all books or movies should be forced to have those things.
If you create something, it's up to you how you want that to be. You are the artist.
This is not equal to hating trans people, and anyone with some iq points realizes this. We can't turn every creation into a vehicle for trans rights.
And when the artists chooses to include all genders, or races, or trans people; what would you call the effort to force the artists from removing this from their art?
The fuck are you talking about? No one is forcing anyone to “have all genders or races or include trans people”
This you bro?
Literally no one is being "forced" to add diversity. This is just plain ignorant.
Besides, no one bats an eye when a character is a white cis hetero man, but the moment something slightly different from the normativity appears, suddenly it is forced and unrealistic.
Fuck that, LGBT people exist and we deserve the bare minimum of at least having proper representation in the media we consume.
Keep your bullshit IQ points talking point. Put yourself on someone's shoes for once and try to imagine what it might be like for a trans person to experience seeing a character like them. And stop with this bullshit of "making every character trans", that's literally not happening.
It's a fnord. A meaningless trigger for a conditioned fear response.
I have never met a trans person and I've only known about 3 gay people personaly.. so why are they in every source of media?
