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?
why’s that? they make a bunch of nerd shit. you’d think chuds would like them. i don’t really follow their games tho
It’s mostly due to having gay love interests as an option in most of their games (every Dragon Age + Mass Effect 3) and an increasing number of LGBT characters in general as the fanbase and creative team grew to include more LGBT people, but also combined with the fact that all of their games for the last decade or so have been pretty widely considered mediocre which makes them an easy target for “go woke go broke”-style bullshit. Personally I’d say the last good game they released was DA:O in 2009, but a lot of people liked ME2.
