i’ve never been into these games, so i didn’t follow the pre release or anything or have any info on this game. i just randomly watched an IGN review of the new game, and to me it looked pretty cool. scrolled down and it’s like 20k dislikes to 4k likes or some shit, all the comments are complaining. i noticed the cast of characters looks ‘diverse’, is this actually a bad game or are gamers just crying because not everyone is a white guy?

Gamer types have hated Dragon Age for gamer reasons since Dragon Age II

They also hated DA1 for gay romance, but also given it a pass because elves were opressed and chuds love that (also one of reasons why i’m usually proelvish).

DAII was different since it happened to have one of the first online gamer hate campaigns directed towards it and its writers

And it wasn’t even bad game. Not the one you would play several times, but pretty decent. 3rd was much worse, one of the most boring rpg i ever played, though at least it was rpg.
