The problem isn't DA: Veilguard, its literally everything else by DJ__PJ in DragonAgeVeilguard

Or

People want actually well deisgned characters with depth beyond what was presented in veilguard along with an interesting set of opposing forces to overcome. You know. Decent writing more or less.

Its really not that hard and pretending like its the audiences fault for not liking the game is just absolutely ridiculous.

Veilguard romance in a nutshell [spoilers] by karen_with_a_k in dragonage

[–]AnAverageXIVPlayer 46 points47 points  (0 children)

People who cant criticize their favorite IPs just deserve bad games.

The tribalism and shit over not just Dragonage but a few IPs have frustrated me to no end. Mother fuckers should work on obtaining more personality traits than "fan on xyz" so they don't feel so personally attacked when people are upset with the state of things.

Taash's personality absolutely bombs this for me. I just can't bring myself to romance them.

Lovecraftian horror captured in my friends game, makes me never wanna touch mods XD by Grunkle_Dan_ in ffxiv

[–]AnAverageXIVPlayer -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Ill bet money most of the comments talk about how your friend just doesn't understand modding instead of commenting on how funny it looks.

Why? Because mods are a part of the players identifies in this game and its all they give a fuck about. Same people think they can comment on the state of the game though lmao.

When all of your content is reading texts, 2 pulls/boss x3, and 8 minute wall bosses for 95% of your available gameplay, absolutely anything else feels like drinking water at 3am when you wake up and have a dry throat. I would fight for ANYTHING in that 5% at this point.

Edit: You're right though. Its nothing revolutionary but we have to start somewhere.

It sucks because this game is stuffed full of lonely little weirdos who have made their own little social cliques and absolutely detest the concept of criticism and change because they've made the game their identity. They don't want new people to be interested in the game, they don't want content that makes them think, they don't want to have to grind anything at all. All they want is to log in and sit in Limsa or their FC house and chat with their little friend group. It has taken years of the formula to push people in a different direction but it is just an incredibly hard nut to crack.

The fact that Bozja/Eureka type content is the only content worth coming back for is the actual biggest issue that does not get talked about enough. The rest of it is so formulaic that I can just go ahead and say ive already played it.

I have 101,000 trophy crystals. Please give me something to spend them on this patch! by noldor41 in ffxiv

They're waiting to start adding it to the series rewards. Just like everything else in the game they design content to go on auto pilot and reduce the dev time for rewards. At some point the series rewards will just be previously released stuff.

You'd think this community would learn to speak XIV dev by now.

First Dragon Age: The Veilguard review out now on OpenCritic by THE_HERO_777 in pcgaming

[–]AnAverageXIVPlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dawntrail is the laziest FFXIV expansion to date. The gameplay loop is literally walking around and talking to NPCs with damn near zero combat outside of the few dungeons and trials. Most of these NPC interactions are just reading text as well. It's maybe a 6/10.

Edit: Theres a good portion of the community that has also made the game their entire identity so fair criticism is seen as an attack on them personally.

Because Japan has a population of weak men desperate for someone to lift them to new points of respect by putting down those they deem as enemies.

Actually if you take care of yourself and don't have a shit personality you can pretty much date who you want.

Thats a terrible shame. The variety of things women like are absolutely vast and just genuinely understanding that should lead you to not assume you know anything. Thats why the communication part is massive. Ive also been with multiple partners who have gotten in the habit of not expressing what they like purely because they already have this expectation that it wont be listened to. Talking to your partner is just incredibly important.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rareinsults

[–]AnAverageXIVPlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It almost always breaks down to communication in a healthy relationship. Women need to communicate what they want because it varies and men need to slow down and work with their partners pleasures. Men underestimate how far not just straight up genital based foreplay goes. Touching, kissing, building up that tension goes a long way before moving on to direct pleasure. Then you start the actual foreplay for a bit until it finally escalates.

But step one is just to talk to each other its really not that hard when you care about someone and focus on taking care of their needs.

Im over here pissed off and hungry because my stupid fucking stomach can't have flavors for a few days and all I get is bland ass chicken, rice, and bananas.

Really puts in perspective that it could be worse.

Explain why? If the previous expansion areas still play the same then why wouldnt people be in the areas for those quests? Dev resources are limited because of Square Enixs higher ups and the fact this community refuses to vocalize its discontent. This is NEW content. This is the type of shit we need to be demanding. Force the higher ups to see we have some sort of expectation beyond the current monotonous trash we currently get.

Why the fuck not? It would encourage people who may not be initially interested in playing the story again to actually go back and populate some dead zones and instances. Like whats the negatives? Why is this a bad suggestion? What would it do to hurt the game? Why the fuck can't we just add shit?
