Games made me do it

The Reticule writes: As Monday evening’s London Evening Standard shows, games are evil. By simply playing one, we are allowing our ideals and moral fibre to be warped by the wicked companies responsible for making them. Games are directly responsible for the acts of every idiot/madman/rioter across the world. After playing games since the age of around 7 or 8, the crimes I have committed as a result of my (100% scientifically proven) games addiction are numerous and as yet un-catalogued. Now, for the first time I will reveal to you my secret shame – a full unabridged confession of criminal acts performed by me, inspired by gaming.

Thats a pity. A remaster Trilogy would sell a lot better than the game they released last year.

TheEroica277d ago

Speak for yourself... Some of us are tired of remastered/remakes. Maybe this industry could show a little originality or progress a thought forward. Pass on dragon age remastered. Make a competent dragon age game or fold up shop.

FullmetalRoyale277d ago

They did speak for themselves.

jambola277d ago

At what point did they indicate they were speaking for anyone else?

Lionsguard277d ago

No, they would have just ruined it by retconning things with their agenda.

Ristul276d ago

Exactly, while I love the orginal game (origins) they would have censured the hell out of it and replaced it with wokeness.

-Foxtrot278d ago

I would have rather seen a remake of Origins which added onto it with more content than Dragon Age 4

If successful they could have continued on from it ignoring the other DA games.

Christopher278d ago

Lore dump in Veilguard was very good and I enjoyed the game for that.

I would not at all be opposed to more of a 'remake' of the first game, though. Not sure a 'remaster' with better graphics and whatnot would really pull me in if it didn't include more updated controls and gameplay.

Armaggedon277d ago

Yeah, your right about the lore, and thats the reason I like dragon age in the first place. I think thats why theres such a divide with veilguard. Those that fell in love with dragon age for the rpg mechanics were gravely disappointed.

pwnmaster3000278d ago (Edited 278d ago )

Honestly I tried getting into dragon age 4 but just couldn’t man and it wasn’t that political BS, annoying yes, but not game killing. It just wasn’t it for me.
I would rather they just remake the original and stay true to the original

anast277d ago

It's not a good game. But if a few trans and gay people upset you, then you have some issues with stuff beyond politics.

pwnmaster3000277d ago

Didn’t care for it.
Annoying yes, because it’s dragon age.
That whole trans and binary just didnt fit in and felt force.

But like I said it wasn’t game killing. I just found it boring.

andy85277d ago

Ill always have the argument you only see it if you go looking for it. Im not gay or trans, it was a 2 minute scene you can literally skip and then you dont see any more of it in the game. Didn't bother me at all.

pwnmaster3000277d ago (Edited 277d ago )

@andy
It really wasn’t 2 min and it was pretty much one characters identity lol.
Like I said it wasn’t game killing.

But to pretend it wasn’t stupid the way they went about it.
Sounded like something from our world would say.
Like wtf, i want fantasy to run away from our world.
I think it’s dumb asf to use real world terminology for real world problems in a game that isn’t set in ours world/altworld

Armaggedon277d ago

Understandable, it is a very different game in many ways.

@anast
I think it was a good game. Who is actually right here?

anast276d ago

It's not a good game. People people liking something is not always a good metric. People like sh%& games, I even like a few sh&% games myself.

Armaggedon276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

Thats the understanding people lack.

People set standards of what is “good”. Interestingly, it is a strange form of confirmation bias, in which people look for evidence to support what they deem “good or bad” about a title. That is why we have so many people that say that starfield does nothing new…when that is literally what it does..something new…for Bethesda at least.

I have had people call me trash before, moments before I obliterate them in whatever it is we are playing. Broaden your awareness, and you will know of what I speak.

isarai278d ago

That's ok, they probably would've sullied it somehow anyways

LucasRuinedChildhood278d ago

What was wrong with Mass Effect Legendary Edition?

Terry_B278d ago

Miranda Lawson..and a bit more.

franwex277d ago

Right? I’m actually glad they left it alone.
