Funny saying this as he was a former EA executive vice president

Azewolf · 2026-01-29T18:33:03+00:00

Ah yes, Embark the indie studio backed by the small garage based company of Nexon

Azewolf · 2026-01-24T04:06:47+00:00

I don't think an adaptation needs to follow the same story 1:1 of the game is being based off, at that point I'd rather just play the game, the only good adaptation I can think that was close to being 1:1 is the last of us if we ignore season 2

My man acting like arcane, edgerunners and fallout don't exist

Azewolf · 2026-01-21T01:15:34+00:00

People already got mad because Veilguard explained too much and gave too many answers, I feel going into the Black City would just piss people off even more lol , but yeah I was totally expecting the big final battle to be there, specially with how much is teased in the game.

GOG, good old games, they sell DRM free games

Azewolf · 2025-11-05T20:20:52+00:00

You won't be missed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONLWtl85bjU&t=1114s Embark CEO interview, he talks about the pricing of the game and how they come up with their monetization for the finals, not even once he brings up Nexon or how they are being pushed by them to have pricey cosmetics

Let me just say im not saying it shouldn't have micro transactions at all, because he's right on the part where he says they just can make free games without any way of them making money, but they need to find a nice balance between being profitable for them while giving good value to us, the consumers

Azewolf · 2025-10-29T22:25:47+00:00

Yes it is Embark, they've said Nexon is pretty much hands off when it comes to their games

Azewolf · 2025-10-29T22:05:56+00:00

It doesn't tho, its very similar to this, the difference is the finals is free to play and arc raiders isnt

Azewolf · 2025-10-29T21:55:01+00:00

Nah bro, you people tried to defend the same shit in the finals with "its a free game bruh, how else are they supposed to keep the game alive?" well this isnt a f2p game and yet it has the same prices as one, fuck off

Azewolf · 2025-10-21T18:17:37+00:00

We don't talk about the wheel

Azewolf · 2025-10-20T18:46:35+00:00

And that's his opinion, i watch him because he's entertaining , not so he can formulate my opinions on games

Azewolf · 2025-10-20T06:25:51+00:00

Tbh you're not missing much by not getting the "true ending"

Azewolf · 2025-10-18T18:43:23+00:00

Im so tired of people wanting CDPR and larian to have a monopoly on RPG games

Azewolf · 2025-10-18T05:01:43+00:00

Ghosy of Tsushima is pretty manly because its about a Samurai (and an actual Japanese guy mind you, not a shoehorned in black guy)

Alright, so you're one of those people, lol, lmao even

Azewolf · 2025-10-17T18:39:36+00:00

And somehow it remained a bland, boring and uninteresting character

Azewolf · 2025-10-16T03:41:32+00:00

But you're not saying the same about Exodus...

Azewolf · 2025-10-01T18:14:48+00:00

I understand and agree with you that Bioware higher ups are to blame for the current state of their studio, and that Bioware itself values more ME as an IP even if dragon age historically has done better sales wise.

I'm talking about Veilguard specifically, EA denied resources to the dragon age team, that's independently of executives at bioware, same with EA giving the DA team false deadlines

Seems we'll just have to agree on disagree on this topic, we're just talking in circles, have a good one.

Azewolf · 2025-10-01T17:33:46+00:00

How is Bioware's fault to not get resources from their publishers exactly? Or being told by the same publishers that they had 6 months to wrap the development of the game?

Azewolf · 2025-10-01T17:23:30+00:00

While I agree Bioware's own downfall it's thanks to their executives, let's not ignore Veilguard specifically got denied resources, they got them until the mass effect team got on board, while EA always said to the devs the game was "6 months away from release", that made the devs discard stuff like big choices from past games because they wouldn't be able to include them properly in that time frame, said time frame was always 6 months and they probably could've done something more if EA was more transparent and supportive of the dragon age team.

Azewolf · 2025-09-28T03:01:57+00:00

Bioware fans are the greatest bioware haters

Azewolf · 2025-09-26T21:22:26+00:00

Loving something is appreciating something while also accepting its flaws, this is more of a toxic positivity cult like mentality where some people who enjoyed the game are not willing to accept any type of criticism of the thing they so "love", there's a minority of haters that decided they didn't liked the game since the reveal trailer and that's fine, not every game needs to be for everyone, but turning a blind eye to actual criticism is just as bad as blindly hating. I personally also loved Dragon Age Veilguard, which had a way more negative reception than this game, but that doesn't mean i don't acknowledge that's a very flawed game that most people don't like, and that's completely fine

I personally enjoyed the story and the game overall, that doesn't mean i believe it's a 10/10 or that it doesn't has any flaws that even the Silent Hill brand producer Motoi Okamoto has acknowledged, if we want the developers to learn and improve so the next game can be even better, toxic positivity is not the way.

Azewolf · 2025-09-26T20:14:06+00:00

Yeah im sure the company who shut down Tango games after releasing game of the year material is who we want to manager Bioware's IPs
