https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_c80LMt_Uxs&pp=ygUPZXhvZHVzIHRyYWlsZXIg0gcJCSsMAYcqIYzvOh shit.
Why did western game artists stop making cool looking characters?
>>750627694>Mass effect is dead with asian MC>JUN ASIAN
Highguard 2 or concord 4
>>750627694He bought?
>>750627881mass effect andromeda 2 its not a live service online shit
>>750627859He's clearly meant to be Slavic.
>>750627881Andromeda 2 with less budget, hell it looks 10x worse than Veilguard combat and movementwise.
>>750627694Everyone who previewed this game says the tone is very serious. There's joke characters like in KOTOR, but there's none of that retarded Joss Whedon quipping. The Expanse on the other hand basically has "Andromeda Writing".
>The setting is literally just StarfieldI AM SO FUCKING TIRED BROS.
>>750628093He looks european to me, and he looks like my IT manager.I'm sad they changed the face recently, because their female focus testers got the ick.
more slop that gets promoted by jeets for lima beans and piss water.
>>750627694lmao
>the fucking Indian girl that goes "erm so THAT just happened"I hate American writing so much it's unreal.
>>750627694>HIGHER GUARD: FIGHT FOR WOKENESSI'm so heckin ready for it!
>>750627694I don't remember highguard
that main character guy looks weird and I don't like him
We got Jerma in Highguard before GTA6
Why does the MC look like a gay bottom with a huge bubble butt? cock sleeve character design
Dont wanna give them any views, do they answer the only question that matters?
>>750628309They should have made him an obese black man that fights for the Hood of the universe (Earth)
>>750627694>JUN ASLAN>JUNJust call him Aslan. His first name doesn't even sounds to plain or boring.>WOTCIt's deader than dead if retards can't scalp this slop.
>>750628093>He's clearly meant to be SlavicThe human version or the russian version?
>>750627694>well that's terrifying>-50% sales
>>750628447It's both. He's got genetic mutt energy. His dad was pure slav and his mom was a smelly ladyboy from Thailand.
>>750628447obbsessed nafotroon
>>750627827FR... like why can't we just have a literal octodad parody that goes around raping women or something that looks like ME turian.Instead we have generic john
>>750628546He looks like a malnourished generic John.
>>750628475I genuinely got so so mad when she said that it was a visceral reaction. I wanted to crush her skull under my boot. That is the good ending.
The main characters are so ugly and unlikable. I hope the human faction loses. The alien enemy factions need to glass Earth.
You think Unknown 8 flopping made these guys shit their pants? It should. This kind of multimedia hubris is just so gay now. Even gayer than it was before.>Have Matthew McConaughey come out two years ago at the Game Awards to try to make a big deal out of it>First trailer is just CGI boring story tripe>Studio hypes itself on James Ohlen, who did admittedly design Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Jade Empire and Dragon Age: Origins, but also designed Mass Effect Andromeda and was a big part of Anthem>Become a Founder™ until August 30, 2025 to receive the EXODUS Aegis Space Suit™ with a Founder Patch™, and if you refer 3 or more friends, you will gain The Traveler's Cloak™ as seen in the Cinematic Trailer>Have Peter F. Hamilton write two books about your game in advance>Pay for a spot on Secret Level>Have a bunch of lore videos that get an average of 30k views each, they flop so hard they just got unlisted>Second trailer comes out a year later, looks like an Elex trailer with a bunch of self-important cinematics added in>Make your own TTRPG guide book in advance>Have youtube videos of TTRPG e-celebs playing it>Third year in, another TGA trailer. Game is still over a year away.This is giving me serious Concord vibes. I'm not taling about muh woke, it looks about as woke as Mass Effect 1. I mean just how desperate they come across for how little gains they're getting.I watched TGA two years ago and I completely forgot this game even was a thing until a year later. That's how little an impression it had left on me back then.I'll probably play it because I'm always desperate for RPGs, specifically sci-fi ones, but still.
>>750628609No rape?
>>750628526How long was your special operation in Ukraine supposed to take again..?...........You still haven't taken kyiv?!?!?!?!
>>750628447Guaranteed replies, good bait
Why do flop games look like that? It's like the art style was fine-tuned for demoralization. I don't know what it is. Something about the character designs and the world. It's just so bland and demoralizing. You know how they throw prisoners into blank rooms to make them go insane? That's all these games feel. They feel like blank rooms engineered torture humans.
>>750628869It's a Karen approved game.
>>750628660Unfathomably based. Total Earthnigger death.
>>750628475You forgot>damn kid, no pressure there
>>750628684No Saar.
>>750627827it's not inclusive
>>750627694Is this PvP arena shooter?
>>750629001Liberals should just rip the Band-Aid off and make a game starring autistic fat children. It seems like they love autistic fat characters with aspergers.
>>750629047It's a mass effect clone except all the characters aren't likable and the alien factions look generic and the powers look generic. And the weapons look generic. Everything in this game looks painfully generic. It's like they went to the unity asset store and typed in "sci fi"
>>750628224Starfield has better writing than this slop, also a better more mature setting too
>>750629092Heh. You should be a comedian
>>750629086You think it's a tax write-off whenever they do this shit? Money laundering? Whenever I see a game with painfully generic art, I can't help but think there's some kind of money laundering going on. The concept artists can take it easy since they can just draw the most generic bullshit ever and get it approved. Oh, who am I kidding. I'm pretty sure it's all AI generated.The game designers can slack off too. They don't have to think of interesting mechanics. They can just copy paste stuff they saw in Destiny or whatever. It is blatant money laundering. There's like Italian mafia shit going on in the background.
>>750629192>AYE TONE. WHAT IF... WE MADE MASS EFFECT BUT FROM TEMU. >THAT'S GOOD JOHNNY. THE IRS WILL NEVER KNOW.
>>750627694looks good to me
>>750628869The people in game dev now all went to the same colleges and learned from the same indians and jews
>>750627694They actually redesigned his face recently because the fans complained about it
>>750629259Both look horrible though wtf. The devs should just scrap this design and try again.If they really want to go for the diverse angle I think the main character should be an obese black transgender in a wheelchair with tourettes syndrome.
>>750628682I have literally never heard of this game prior to this thread.
>>750629259>The fansI CANNOT THINK OF A SINGLE PERSON THAT THIS GAME APPEALS TO.
>people want a new mass effect>game looks like mass effect>this looks too much like mass effect I dont like itI dont get it
>>750629259>Me when I turn on the chinese face filter
>>750629339You can't think of a single person that wants a sci-fi game?
>>750628682It's been a troubled project behind the scenes and the ex-BioWare exec guy who founded this new studio quit earlier this year, although Drew Karpyshyn remains employed for now.They've missed some deadlines and I have a suspicion that just as with the other ex-BioWare studios like Casey Hudson's Humanoid Origin and Mac Walters's "Untold Worlds" they had backing from either Tencent or NetEase who pulled the plug midway through, but unlike those, Exodus also has funding by WotC so it's possible something really bad happened a year ago, and then WotC said "Don't worry, just try to get it finished" or something.I think Exodus will be a great game. Its only problem is expectations, because it's both up against brainlets who don't understand that the first chapter in any new saga is going to feel like Mass Effect 1, not "muh trilogy", and it's up against people who may think the game is a lot larger than it's really going to be.I'm expecting a highly streamlined RPG shooter, with some ME1-tier writing but the game won't deliver in any ludonarrative sense on the "Time Dilation". That part of the game is quite literally Andromeda and how that game did Terraforming. You'd finish 1 planet in Andromeda where they literally come out of the construct to the environment looking exactly the same as before and going "Wow, this will probably look completely different in 1 year from here!!"
Asmonarmy, ASSEMBLE!
>>750629259It went from bad to worse. Ahahahahha, clueless hacks.
>>750629316It's likely you heard or saw it and completely forgot about it. This game completely passes you by. It has that utterly forgettable quality.
>>750629339Not everyone is a jaded fuck one tantrum away from roping himself. Crazy, I know?
>>750629375Science fiction fans want good Sci-Fi.Science fiction is an exploration into the unknown. The fantastical future. Technological wonders. Cosmic horror. It makes us question our place in the universe.This game has none of that. This is slop.
>>750629339Mass Efffect and Bioware fans
>>750629378>because it's both up against brainlets who don't understand that the first chapter in any new saga is going to feel like Mass Effect 1, not "muh trilogy",It's not going to be a saga or franchise, they sunk way too much money on it and are lucky it wasn't cancelled outright, don't expect much DLC either
>>750629378I have no faith whatsoever it will be good. Games with serious budget concerns, retarded release windows and stupid multimedia priorities never turn out well.For a counter example of this, where the game didn't take too long and the ambitions were kept in check from the get go, look at The Dawn of Bloodwalker. Now THAT'S how you take a right first step into the franchise territory.
>>750627694how these games dont get canceled is beyond me, there is literally no way this ever makes its money back.how can i know instantly this is doa and none of the devs or investors can?
>>750628682The only point of this multimedia crap is for danger hairs to get their friends cushyjobs on a company's dime. That's literally it. They don't expect this shit to succeed period.
Why am i supposed to hate this game and wish for it to flop?I don't really follow alt right gaming youtubers.
>>750629378>The chink funding pulled outThat's how you know you're FUCKED as a game studio. Not even the chinks want to touch their game. Says a lot.
>>750629536I don't give a shit about culture war slop, but this is why I expect it to flop: >>750628682I've been keeping an eye on this game for a few years now ever since they first had Matthew McConaughey try to shill it and it still somehow completely slipped my mind until one year later.
>>750627694there is just something gay about it
>>750629378>I think Exodus will be a great gameIt won't, it's a grifter project made by some washed up hasbeensWestern RPGs are finished, all the good ones are being made in Europe
>>750629474Even if it won't succeed and have sequels it will be a somewhat standalone plot that still ends with some sequel bait like ME1 did. That's just how Drew Karpyshyn writes.And I'm just saying that with Andromeda, those who actually played it kept complaining "it's not as good as THE TRILOGY" in terms of story or character attachment, and I kept pointing out that while it's true it's more cringe and all that, it's not as if we played ME1 in 2007 and started trooning out to Liara. It was only by Mass Effect 3 that fans became retarded coomer for the cast of the series. By ME2 people really started to feel attached on an emotional level to the universe and accrued Shepard relationships, and by ME3 even those who lowkey hated the game or its story found the characters to feel like family, and uwu etc.But that won't happen in any first chapter, which is the kind of game Exodus will be, so I'm just mad that there'll be the same myopic reaction by people who can't think critically, especially those who only recently played Legendary Edition and had all 3 games back to back as their first exposure, ignorant of how spread apart they originally were, where fans waited 2 years between every game, and some lost interest along the way or didn't like 2 or didn't like 3, because they had grown attached to either of them. That created this greater feeling of a special experience but I swear, when ME1 was brand new it was 'good' but it was not like I couldn't control my semen release or something on that level.
>>750629375How generic of a description can that possibly be?
>>750629516It's clearly a money laundering scheme. I'm pretty sure Concord was money laundering as well.>Who would pour billions into a horrible game just to launder money The Epstein class wants beautiful little kids for their secret orgy rooms. It takes billions to cover that up. They have to launder the money so nobody suspects a thing.
>>750629610I thought the waifufags were already cumming buckets over Tali in the first game.
>>750629536Here's a good video about ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YukWupEfBAcIt's actually a good game
>>750629567Worst part is they're not even canadian, this is texas based. But Mac and Casey founded their studios in Vancouver, and canada thinks China is their ally, because they're too left-leaning but too blinded by our liberal IMF democracies to realize that in China woke isn't a fucking thing.
>>750629632On BSN but it was contained. She wasn't a romance option so there wasn't that much to talk about.
>>750629632>I thought the waifufags were already cumming buckets over Tali in the first game.They were. Mass Effect was very popular when first released in 2007. That anon is coping. Andromeda flopped because it was shit. Exodus will probably do the same.
>>750629378Mass effect had time dilation as a plot point. This game will have neogash dilation.
>>750627694he looks BOGGED.
>>750629680Dont' remember a single point in Mass Effect about time relativity, although if you read its books they do mention how the Citadel has 25 hours, and that there's a galactic standard hours seperate from Earth time.
>>750629637There's definitely wokeness in china games. Zenless zone zero has lots of lesbianism. Genshin has femboys. They're woke too.
There are literally 0 (zero) alien species in the game.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_OHvHqWFWXMInto the trash it goes.
>>750627694this is a mass effect clone you retarded zoomer
>>750629680I LOVE the cutscene where John Exodus dilates his neogash to activate the orbital cannon array. He had to sacrifice so much to save humanity.... The RAILgun is clearly an allegory for how he RAILED himself with the dilator. It made me tear up when he pulled the dilator out of neovagina and said "It really was an exodus". I'm still shaking from the experience.
>>750629805I guess an octopus riding a mech is not alien enough for you? God why is /v/ so full of jaded retards
>>750628212>none of that retarded Joss Whedon quippingThen why include it in the trailer then
>>750629931He's a shill and lyingAlso he's retarded, because Bioware writing is full of Joss Whedon quipping and guys like David Gaider explicitly named Whedon as a big influence on them
>>750629536>pretending not to understand These they them niggas really do this every day LMAO
>>750629259I don't know why, but this reminds me of a kids show from about 20 years ago. I think they went into computers to fight viruses?
>>750627694FRESH WOKESLOPFLOP COMING IN HOT
>>750629259left makes me think of simon cowell
>>750627694>WotC logo at the beginning>Game director already left months ago>Fujoshi bait character reworkI'm sure this will be a mega hit.
Oh no I hope this giant sexy monster is not gonna swallow me after letting me sit on her enormous tongue. Imagine sliding down her saliva moistened throat, that would be horrible ha ha, what a terrible fate it would be to be dissolved by in her big sexy stomach.
>>750629192>You think it's a tax write-off whenever they do this shit? Money laundering?I don't think you understand how either of these things work at all.Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one - they're being retarded and they don't have any retard wranglers around to tell them that. Happens all the time.
>>750629987No, It's not as if WotC or Archetype asked me to market their game or anything like that.Just some observations from an early fan ^^
>>750630085>TAKE THIS CHUD>BETTER MAN HIGH PUNCH
>>750629926Evolved animals are not aliens to me.It also reeks of furry degeneracy.

Gamergate shitbags are going to lose again.Nobody loves you for a reason.
>>750628251Slavic people are European bud
>>750627694Exodus looks good. Made by the OG Dragon Age Origins and ME1 guy.
>>750629610ME3 was liked? played it and it was pretty mid (cant remember a single thing), everyone collectively shat on the ending (deservedly)ME2 was by far the best game in the series, this exodus game already looks bland plus the "multi-media" approach is always a bad sign
>>750627694>story is literally mass effect>"you are the chosen one!!!111"im already bored
>>750629339I’m looking forward to it.
>>750627694This has the original Mass Effect writer.
>>750630323He already jumped ship halfway through development, lmao.
>>750627694it's a single player game, niggerbrain
>>750630337It's the Majora's Mask effect. Online people have normalized the idea that ME3 was actually the best one the entire time, whereas normal people agree 1 or 2 were the best ones and then moved on as 3 ended improperly and the internet got mad over it.
>>750630517Seriously? Ugh... I'm still going to give it a try because the story looks interesting.
>>750628703How long was your anti-terrorist operation in Donbass supposed to take again..?...........You still haven't taken down terrorists?!?!?!?!
>>750627694>https://m.youtubeOP is a literal jeet.
>>750630643What's the casualty stats again?
>>750630698Uh oh woketard melty
>>750629092>[4chan] Bait used to be believable>That's bait, right?>I don't think this comment is honest
>>750630245There was a big update video that released yesterday that's why people are talking about it again.>Who's talking about it? We are.
Main character looks like he IS down syndrome.
>>750628682>James OhlenHe left the company, RIP
>YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN WEILD THE SMELLY BLACK POWERThis plot is so gay.
They still haven't shown FemJun?Because if she's an uggo after the whole male mc complaints, I'm gonna laugh.
According to the lore the aliens are just humans that have mutated after thousands of years on different planets. This premise is cool but can we get an alien species that is just Indians.Like they are literally just Indians. But to everyone on the human faction they are horrifying creatures of the shart planet. All their Holy oceans have been polluted with garbage and diharrea. Their special trait is that they cannot get sick on any other planet because their immune systems are inpenetrable.Their biggest weakness is their lack of strength. They make up for it with exoskeletons imported from the chink factory planet
>>750630898You're not funny
>>750630803Yeah, this is gonna be shit
>>750627694>Wizards of the Coast
>>750630898You are funny
>>750627694Blast satus?
>>750627694Has any multimedia project achieved success recently?
Eh, I might fuck that.
>>750631535Yup, dei, woke, sweet baby trash detected.I can't wait for Hero Hei, Smash JT and Rev says desu to tear this game apart.
>>750628682Wtf is this? Is this another Unknown 9 universe? I just learned about this series from this thread and the trailer looked awful.
>>750629192Nta but western games must answer to HR and the typical useless Yid ceo or consultation money laundering which you are forced to pay for (((advices))). The chinks complained about western companies literally threatening them with bad reviews if they didn't pay 7 millions for consulting (and you can even see Anita Sarkeesian threatening the witcher 3 devs)>Why make them uglyBecause (((they))) are ugly, anon. Both outside AND inside. They are abused by their mothers to make everything as ugly and boring as possible (it's a way to keep the wealth inside a family instead of having a healthy rich son marrying a woman with superior genes)
>>750631975this game unironically wasn't that bad but not good enough to start a massive series with books movies and tv shows
>>750629716hot lesbians aren't wokein Asia, soft girly boys (who are still tall) are extremely high tier, ergo, not woke either
>>750630898I kek'd
>>750632109Was it some Witcher spinoff?
>>750631535>intricate tunic thing over a regular ass sports bra
>>750627694Not gonna lie it just looks gay as fuck, can't believe people are saying that this reminds them of Mass Effect. Even the new Universe trailer from nu-Bioware looked x100 times cooler. I think I'll just wait for Expanse desu.
>>750627694The rise of julian assange
>>750632215nah it was more like a shittier (somehow) version of Assassin's Creed
>>750627694holy SHIT was that a motherheckin' OCTOPUS wearing a POWER SUIT!??
>>750627827its been sooooooooo fucking long since western fags made anything cool man. all I cam think of is space marines 2 but thats not am oh IP.guess DarkSiders were the last good and cool af western cool vidya and characters.
>>750632489*not a new ip
>>750627694Looks more fantasy then Sci fi could be good we'll see won't write it off as a new Highguard till I hear some reviews.
>>750627694Looks good and I watched the trailer expecting to hate it, but is Mass Effect 1 with a more cringe tone and better maps/graphics
What would happen if you stopped thinking about race for 10 days?
>>750632620look at how the characters look. why would think think will be anything aside some boring as fuck woke turd disguised as a video game?you faggots are so clueless man lmao.
whats up with the awful voice acting? soundtrack sounds really good but everyone sounds weird
>>750627694looks like highguard
>>750627694>m.youtube>&pp=ygUPZXhvZHVzIHRyYWlsZXIg0gcJCSsMAYcqIYzv
>>750629635I'm not interested in these games and they don't seem appealing to me.They can be great, but I am just not interested in them. Also, Casey can go suck a bag of dicks, FotoR is never coming out, he wanted it out before 2029 and he hasn't shown anything in a year. Also, Bioware Austin wanted to make a rel KotoR 3 for a decade or so, but Casey shut them down twice. And then, with nothing else to get him investors, went back to Star Wars, to make the "unofficial" KotoR 3, with FotoR. The scummiest mother fucker out there. Not to mention, Casey wanted to make MP games. Why go back to SP, Casey? He doesn't even want to make SP, yet SP is all he is trying to get off the ground nowadays. Casey can go fuck himself.
>>750629926Because it's retarded and nobody is taking it seriously. It is jarring.
>>750630323It's going to sell less than 2m units at launch. I hope that's enough for them to break even, so they can make some profit in lifetime sales, but this game has been in dev for half a decade with multiple snags and hitches throughout development. This game did not cost just $100m USD, unfortunately, when it should have been a $40m USD title, and this is without all the marketing budget. I am guessing this is ~$150m USD, which is still less than 50% of what most AAA costs nowadays, but this is not likely going to turn a profit. Ever. It's just not appealing.
>>750627694It looks fine, if I still remember this exists when it launches, I might give it a try. Also, why do game trailers need to mimic Hollywood slop?
>>750631535Up.You meant to say fuck that up.Like, with a crowbar, or a baseball bat, to the head.
>>750627827((()))s
>>750627694ok, this is #litty
>>750627694Why do they keep making aesthetically unpleasant games? Even if the gameplay is good, I won't buy them for that reason alone. Can I short their company somehow?
the companions look like ass and i'm not just talking about their designsthey always falter when it comes to thatmight pirate maybe
i hate this shit so much, it's on par with fucking flying platforms or floating rocks that every AA studio seems to shove into their games for some reason
>>750627694He looks like he's mid transitioning to a bogdanoff
>>750627694>Main character's name is John AsianWhat were they thinking?
>>750628447Product of rape
It's a shame the writing and voice acting from that mission playthrough the other day is beyond awful. https://youtu.be/wtbyLCP4dJc?si=bhn52TG-gzJOJWLfThe frog, the dying guy, even the party banter. It's all marvel tier millennial slop and the actual VAs for the mission characters actually sound like a joke. It's hard to believe a company wanting to be taken seriously as a replacement for ME is putting shit out like this in good faith. Pretty much single handedly gave me the ick and put me off of being interested in the game
>>750628338What question is that?
>>750627694Nah. Looks actually interesting and isn't some live-service flop in the making.The real problem is that it has Wizards of The Coast in it.
>>750627827Being cool and good looking is transphobic
>>750633797This, Mass Effect 1 presented a very cozy, mysterious and just plain 'cool' setting in prerelease videos with all the different races, the Citadel etc. Neither The Expanse nor Exodus have anything like it, they both look boring.
>>750630447Same. The books are pretty good too.
>>750632489space marine 2 was made by russians
>>750629001Those midget thighs cannot be for real.
>>750628682This current trailer was the best they have shown so far because I can actually see what the game was about and why I should care, so much money wasted on that stupid crap, absolute waste of time and whoever was responsible should be fired.
I looked up gameplay of this and every voice actor is some lisping fag, even enemy soldiers you find. What's up with that?
>>750630739Uh oh ridiculous overreaction to statement, Jeet confirmation received.
>>750627694>posting 10 month old trailerfuck you op
>>750631597
>>750627694Starborn....
>>750633797If they got stock, you can short it.
>>750629367doesnt look like mass effect at all. Mass effect had mature, grounded character designs. This one looks like fortnite.
>>750627827Artists that aren't fags don't make it past HR
>>750635276I feel like voice acting in general in games has really gone way downhill since the 360/PS3 gen finished. I dunno what happened after that but maybe the good ones just started asking for too much money or something.
>>750633943yeah i hate that shit. So fucking uninspired. So far with the character/level designs this looks more like a nod to Andromeda than the mass effect trilogy, Lmao.But Drew K. is writing it, so it has that going for it.
>>750629192just a bunch of corporate workers with zero energy or creativity outside of their micro-responsibility with a few actual incompetents scattered around
>>750629259which is the new one? Right looks more competent even if it's kind of Korean aesthetically. I don't mean racially Korean, I mean like something Koreans would make.
His new face looks alright to me
>WotC studio that has former Bioware devsYep it's certified leftist faggot slop
>>750637042It's crazy man, it sounds like they asked some random employees cousin to come in and try it. I'm happy to meme on deborah wilson but she's at least talented, AI would probably have done a better job than this shit
>>750629259Right looks so bad it genuinely killed what little interest I had in this game, I can't spend hours looking at that.
>>750637176here is the new one in video https://youtu.be/wtbyLCP4dJc?t=2255
>>750629339There's absolutely zero sense they're even trying to make you want to be this guy or alongside this guy. Like two seconds in and he gets knocked down. Zero vision in marketing, oddly stupid cargo cult.
You have to remember that Jun is a zoomer so thats why he looks the way he does. He's only 23.
>>750637086>Drew K. is writing it, so it has that going for itIt's been 19 years since ME1. Keep your expectations in check, we live in a post-MN9, post-Back 4 Blood, post-Callisto Protocol world. Patrick Weekes used to write good characters as well, then he went on to be Veilguard's lead writer and Taash's creator.
>>750637197The Korean MMO hairstyle is what makes it bad.
Have they had any combat previews or anything? Wanna know how much of an RPG this is
I don't know how to explain it, but the entire aesthetic, writing, and overall presentation screams Chinese.
>>750637297Why's that asian nigga so blurry
>>750630898>an we get an alien species that is just IndiansThey do actually have that in the game they are called the "Mara-Yama". They are hideous hivemind creatures that psychically torture the other races before feeding/devouring them. Kind of like a mutant flesh version of the Borg from Star Trek.
>>750637197It looks so homo-coded.
>>750640128It is a Mass Effect clone.
>>750628682why can't new IP's just start small with a cheap game and then build from there? Why do they need to go all in their first shot?
>>750629259which one is the good version again?
I watched their 40 min gameplay video, keep in mind this is their best foot forward>muted aggressive options>boss of the level is a brown girlboss who sounds like she couldn't intimidate a hamster>party banter is very andromeda like>all the humans are off brown shade except for a black chickthis game is veilguard diet edition, I don't hold out hope for the full reveal.
>>750631535So what exactly is a story companion?
>>750627827Heroic white men are fascist coded.
>>750630051Zixx
man this game has like a billion gameplay/trailers vids.
>>750627694oof, why? why humiliate yourself and your work history this way. 2026 is wild.
>man whos only seen Highguard/ConcordMan this ones giving me real highguard vibes, absolutely concordian
>>750629259I lost interest when I didn't see anything sexy. That said, I'll catch it on sale. I like sci-fi even if it's C-tier.
>>750627694Its a fucking single-player RPG retard not a live service game.And people are so starved for a new Mass effect that it might even sell good.
>>750629259He does look less like a Bogdanoff now
Nigga is this a mass relay?
>>750631535>actually attractive white womanOk, I'm probably playing this now
>>750643425>>750631535Fuck, meant black.I should just go back to sleep
>>750627827
I'm buying this day one.
>>750640128Most gay people have either buzzcuts or slicked-back hair though
>>750643519me too probablygod we're so fucked
>>750642357Just a crewmate. One that doesn’t go out on the field in combat.
>>750627694>highguardDid you have a stroke?
>>750628327>with a huge bubble buttI wish. Bro is flat as a board
>>750643721Geoff kinda did
>>750629926>Alien thing>No sex appealMiss me with that shit. Go back to making exotic-colored alien women with huge tits and thighs for days, it was way more appealing.
>>750629001why is his head so huge
>>750627694>pp=ygUPZXhvZHVzIHRyYWlsZXIg0gcJCSsMAYcqIYzvhoneypot thread
>>750643947
>>750642843He does look like John Highguard, same placeholder looking armor too.
No homo but I kinda like Jun in the new 40 minute video they put out a few days ago.
no aliens is honestly a huge downer
so why did they change him from an asian/arab hybrid to just a southern euro?
ai slop designs everywhere
>>750630643well according to russia the donbass children have all been exterminated ten times over by nowthe funny (and tragic) part is that russia has done more to depopulate the occupied areas than ukraine ever couldsomething like 1/3 of men have been sent to the meatgrinder but at least the chechens, jeets and africans russia keeps bringing in have some free land and women when the conflict freezes again
>>750637297Looks fucking good. Good facial animations in dialogue. The male characters look and sound cool. Has a serious mass effect tone. Aight I'm interested.
>>750631535>A priest who is suspicious of celestials and wants humans to find their own pathThen why be a fucking priest???
>>750643494>add power>by making them manlier The jokes write themselves
>>750643934big heads are more expressive. they want you to focus on the character emotions and shit like that.
>>750648435I want to fuck that asian now, that wasn't so hard, was it?
>>750643325I would give them a chance if the game ends with humans and their wacky space animal friends making a first contact with actual alien civilizations.
I feel like finding out that John Exodus can use alien tech is something people should've found out in game at some climactic moment where he's forced to either try and use it or die. Telling us in a trailer is so fucking lame. I feel like I already know the main plot beats in this game and all I'd need to do is slot in character/faction names once we find them out.
>>750631975>muh ugly unsexualized woman with fx spam magical neon powerswhy are westoid companies obsessed with this concept? its a flop everytime
>>750640936Blood Dawnwalker did that and it was a pretty good success that is building up nicely. Not everyone is retarded but a lot of AAA developers nowadays sure are!
shit Debra Wilson is in this?
>>750650880unironically possibly maybe
Why does the voice acting feel so forced. None of the characters have any chemistry so they can't play off of each other and be entertaining.Which is the entire point of a mass effect style story. I want to be entertained. I want to be invested in the characters. Imagine making a video game that's not entertaining. That's the entire point. Holy fuck this sucks.
>>750649635Are we just calling him John Exodus now?
>>750629259Leon Kennedy?
>>750643325It's my mother's dildo because she is very fat.
>main character is a white dude>Chuds still whine Lol
>>750649635They're probably trying to red herring us by showing us his abilities. They want us to think that the plot twist is that he's actually half alien.But then they have an even bigger plot twist that completely subverts that. Hopefully. Or maybe they are creatively bankrupt and they won't actually do the epic plot twist.
>>7506278272009
>>750654094It's almost like that was never the issue
>>750654094The main character is ugly. We want visually appealing characters. That's why we don't complain about Barrett in final fantasy 7 even though he's black. That's why we don't complain about the black characters in deadlock. When things are executed well and are visually appealing, it can work.If you make an ugly game with boring characters and a generic setting, nobody's going to care.
>>750627694Looks lame, will be skipping
How is a new Mass Effect Highguard?
>>750643494>What's realistic for your [super]heroNothing. People in real life can't fly or shoot lasers from their eyes. Next question.
>>750654014I hope John Exodus gets railed by the aliens. I want to unlock the secret cutscene where he sucks 7 smelly alien cocks simultaneously.
>>750627694>>750627827Shep looked great. Other than weird lighting issues with Miranda and jacob just being an ugly faggot, all of the major mass effect characters had really good and appealing designs. why the fuck did they decide to make this guy look like a retarded ugly turkish bobblehead?
>>750627694>first 10 seconds of the video>already the most generic hollywood stock sound imaginableevery sound department in all triple gay westernslop is nepotism, there is NO EXCUSE for you whole job being making personalized sounds and you not doing ANYTHING
>>750628280bioware is canadianI hate yuropoors so much it's unreal
>>750654383I want to fuck down syndrome female Shep. You know she gives insane head.
>>750654198Turn on your monitor jeet
>>750654213the main character has a fucking terrible and unappealing character design, he looks like a turkish twink or somethinglike IDK how it got to that point and they decided >yeah, this looks goodcharacter design can really kill a game
this plot seems pretty fucking gay. you are the chosen one you are the only one who can save the rest of us who are going to be useless faggots while you do everything.and its not like the chosen 1 plot makes a bad videogame but how they present it is shit.
>>750654383Looks like a Turkish shitskin
I'm pretty sure some impotent jew wrote this thinking it would further demoralize white people. jewish rats despise beauty.
>>750646257Get influence and prestige, like most women want.
>>750654627Shut up jeet.
>>750654752Indians ITT SEETHING because India could never make a good game.
>>750628093my negro they're all designed after korean slim incels
>>750654990Go bobble your head somewhere else you stupid sand muslim antisemtie fucker
>>750655043I'm White, you retarded fucking polak
guy looks fine now, like a surfer dudethe companions are wtf though
>>750655270Except you're not.
>>750630051Code Lyoko.
Who the fuck is funding all these Concord-like games that have zero appeal and what is the end goal?
>>750654763Mind your manners. The emperor in Warhammer 40K is canonically Turkish.
>>750655607I genuinely think it's either money laundering or they're doing it out of pure spite to demoralize White people.
>>750655270>SAAAARpoopjeet
>>750643425>whiteSaaar....
>>750628093>>750630251His name is Jun. He's a hapa at the least. It's so stupid and pointless too, what an ugly name.
>>750655968NUH UH. his name is JOHN EXODUS
eyyy jun jon whateva
>>750656039No, it isn't. It should've been, but it isn't. It's Jun. Ugly ass name. Blame the devs.
>>750630251wtf is with his face, did he try looksmaxxing?
is the octopus the only alien party member?
>>750656161He is bone smashing
>>750656274a big wolf and this fucker, that seems to be it
>>750656607>Human but made of bronze armor plating Holy fuck these guys are so creatively bankrupt. I have seen chink mobile games with more interesting character designs. The bar is really THAT low. And they still didn't pass.
His name is John Exodus and I will not accept any other name.
>>750656828yeah they could've ripped off Mass Effect a bit more for my tastesucks extra if the game sells well because they'll keep the setting with all of its flaws for any sequels
>>750645842But enough about Ukraine.
>>750655535except I am, you retarded third worlder>>750655687turn your monitor on, fatso
>>750656828Devs can make aliens look weird but they won't be able to animate and move them. You need human actors for motion capture.
>>750657363Except you're not
>>750657436There are plenty of games that have non-humanoid characters T H OUGH
>>750657441except I am, fatso
>>750657436
>>750657565Except you're not
>>750657904except I am, retard. I'm White and American, the only type of White
>>750627694This is what the baseline Shepard looked like, and this dude was customizable.
>>750627694That name does absolutely nothing for me.>Jun AslanIt's too Star Wars-y for my tastes. He looks like a dork.
>>750637297>2 men disagree about how to solve the mission>resolve matter in non faggot mannersurprised
>>750627694>The main character is the Chosen One, touched by the good ancient alien race to defeat the evil ancient alien race that threatens the entire galaxyBabylon 5 and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Thoughts?
You can change his hair and facial hair and give him scars. Its just his general facial features that are fixed. A bit like Geralt I suppose.
>>750658896So they made his race extremely ambiguous in a gay attempt at trying to please everyone?
>>750627694Every single time they release something the game looks worse and worse and I hate the characters even more.
>>750659071He looks white though
>>750643494Right but with massive tits and a big ass
>>750659161>Name is Chingchong Salim>"He looks white though..."Bruh
WELCOME TO EXOD AHH.BLUD SHOWED UP IN *DAT* :SKULL: AIN NO WAY!LETS GETCHU A NEW FIT...
>>750648435My God this game is (was) retarded on levels beyond my comprehension
>>750658731I bet you get wet over Gurren Lagann
Whats the issue? The Asian squad member shoots the quirk chungus black woman in the head instead of giving her a fair fight. Why are you mad?
is that not just brown chris hemsworth?
Will you let the asian dude enslave the frogs?
>>750627827People like Patrick Stewart are dying, where is the next generation meant to take inspiration from?
>>750629805Awakened animals are cool as a concept but only if there are actual aliens in the game. I would like a literal frog squadmate but I would also like some cool aliens.
>>750659602THEY'RE TURNING THE FUCKING FROGS LOYAL
>no awakened elephant squadmate
>>750629926can you fuvk it ?
>>750659762>address meliteral built in joke and they're still not doing it
>>750659818>address me
>>750627694>"That's terrifying."Same VA as Sarah Ryder isn't it?
>>750643494>realismWhen it comes to superheroes, I generally operate under the assumption that their strength comes from whatever mystical force or mad science their superpowers come from and not their physical bodies. They just have all those muscles and toning because they're heroes and thus perfect physical specimens in addition to having superpowers. Even as built as the average superhero is, they're not nearly built enough to attribute bending metal, throwing cars around and getting thrown through multiple buildings without dying to their physical bodies.Also, it's so funny to me in these instances where feminism becomes "the patriarchy's" strongest soldier. This "objectification" shit is literally just concern over women's modesty and men befouling their chaste purity with their profane lusts of old "patriarchal" norms with a thin coat of feminist paint. Feminism as a movement is so fucking underhanded and opportunist. They literally go to women and say "Hey, you know your very conservative opinions? They're actually left-wing feminist opinions." and just slightly re-contextualize them in a light where man bad and woman good. Then they'll have the nerve to say shit like "feminism is good for men too" when hating men is literally all their movement is about and literally nothing else.
>>750627694Goddamn, at this point I really hope for someone to just go full retard and build an RPG with autistically detailed table top tier character cards for NPCs powered by AI so you can actually talk to them, non voiced protag obviously, some overarching but vague main story line and a big ass world with fuckloads of quests to just get lost in. I'm sure someone autistic enough could make this a better game than whatever the writing is in this thing, no matter the genre of RPG. I seriously don't understand how anyone can be excited for this, other than the awakened animals which are neat.
>>750648486Bellara is sexy as fuck
>>750659402What makes you say that?And, yes, I did really like Gurren Lagann.
>>750637297>>750639142the depth of field effect is extremely low resolution. brutal artifacts, can't believe they show up in character close ups. maybe a GPU driver issue? surely it doesn't look like this on all settings and platforms?
that trailer came out 10 months agois everybody here bots or retards idgi
>>750660241Ugly hair
>>750643904Seek help for your porn addiction
>>750660408Not op but I posted a more recent trailer in the thread
>>750660184Feminism doesn't even exist irl, it's complete bullshit invented by bored women from elite families to post on the internet.
>>750660450It's ChineseHair system was really high quality in Veilguard
>>750627694Did they hire the Andromeda team for character models?
>>750629926I'm disappointed there are a trillion sci fi books out there and this is the best concept you could come up with
>>750660634I'm just saying if she had a decent hairstyle her design would be better. There's other Chinese hairstyles, that one isn't even that common or iconic. It's scuffed.
>>750660723The same tainted pool of devs get shuffled around every time they're fired or their studio closes so it wouldn't be surprising. The whole industry is rotted.
>>750660828Perhaps"Asian elf" is one of my favorite niche fantasy girls, so when I saw her I had to play the game. Its definitely a bad game but I don't regret playing it
>>750658896Veilguard has better graphics and customization somehow
>>750660241>>750660634>>750660948Asian elves are stupid and lazy no matter what.
Can any homos here tell us if Jun is attractive?
>>750661181Better than black elves
>>750643494>recognize patternsOh but when *we* do it after you suck the life out of a game and make it shitty and refuse to buy it, you all get upset.
>>750661068When over half the dev team are women you can bet the dollhouse feature would be the best
>>750661243It's all stupid and lazy garbage from idiots treating elves like they're humans with pointy ears.It's woke to be sure, but it doesn't even win on woke grounds, because its a silent admission that the creators don't give enough of a shit about non-European cultures to research their history, mythology and folklore in order to have fantasy races and peoples based on those cultures. They only care about European and Western culture, but they're white guilt liberals and having an all-white caste makes them feel racist, so they make some of the knights, elves and dwarves black and asian at total random to make themselves feel better.
female Jun better be a hottie
>>750661674What's wrong with asian women?
>>750661818Elves aren't part of Asian mythology. Elves also aren't human, so there's no reason why elves would have the same ethnicities as humans.
>>750627827gamergate
>>750660892Because zoom zooms are being sent to the coal mines (literally), no time for the next generation to develop video games
>guy bleeding out on the floor>talks more than any other character in the videojesus christ
This or The Expanse, which will be less terrible?
>>750627694am i fucking crazythis trailer looks so fucking midi dont even know what's wrong with it
>so Mass Effect that they even have Paragon/Renegade choicessorry, I mean PALADIN and IMMORTALlmaoI hope those will have more uses than just dialogue unlocks
>>750662567There's good reason you forgot this existed, and not just because Mass Effect's relevance is grossly overstated by insufferable 360 kids. This was a 15 minutes or something feature in one of those faggot trailer shows and no one cared.
>>750662559With Owlkek you know what you will get.I take their slog RPGs over whatever Exodus is.
>>750663527expanse game is kind of a departure from their usual though
The Expanse will be worse than this. People who played the beta for Expanse said the writing is cringey millennial type shit.
>>750664548So is the writing for Exodus though
Expanse right now has the one big advantage of having a hot chick companionalthough I like Exodus vibes more so far
>>750664548>>750664640Joss Whedon and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race. But he has been especially disastrous for the Millennial generation, who have gotten blamed for the proliferation of his writing style.
>>750664548At least there already are some people who cares about Expanse as an IP
>>750664781Joss Whedon wrote Joss Whedon well though
>>750627694I was interested in this when they first showed it off. Then they showcased it at the SGF while boasting about the writing "diverse" companions. All of companions were regular humans except this octopus who talks like a regular human. The "gameplay" was just characters explaining what was happening on screen in the most boring way possible for 20 minutes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5FWcr_FTlw
>>750664640Thats not true really. Exodus takes itself quite seriously.
>>750627694Will get mogged by The Expanse, OwlKINO never misses.
>>750665292Bro, there's already trailers and everything for both. They're the same shit. We literally see the WOWWWEEEE THAT JUST HAPPENED in Exodus, dude.
>>750665848I didn't think....
>>750665892Expanse has the same from the footage we've seen too, so that's just every game now.
>>750665892Happens to the best of us
>>750666029but why
>>750666226How much influence does a narrative director have over these dogshit dialogues?
>>750666314For a straight white guy? None if he wants to avoid getting canceled.
>>750666314Everyone is responsible, noone is responsible. It's all their actions leading towards an end result.
>>750627694wasn't that another Concord? why does it keep going?
>>750666654Because woke still isn't over and everything is still gay and lame, despite all the cope.
>>750666816how many more must we not buy for them to understand...
>>750666923Billions
>>750666923They don't need you to buy anything.
Skimming through the video I didn't see anything that was outright normie-repellent, at least not shoved right into your face like Bioware did with their faggotry for the past 10+ years. The weird squid trailer got people's eyes on it and there's still a lot of people clamoring for something Mass Effecty, so I kinda doubt this one will be an outright flop.
>>750654383Except when he smiled
>>750665892therefore you aren't
>>750667103bioware getting killed was honestly the best PR they could wish for
>>750667397For sure, it's like all the fucking stars aligning.
>>750667158>Shepard with modern non-fucked face riggingwould be cool to see at the very least
>>750628093Aslan kinda suggests he's a steppe hapa.
>>750627694More browngrey sludge with generic literal nothing sci-fi worlds, and millennial writing. Well that's terrifying...
>>750627694>by Wizards of the Wokei hope you're right OP
>>750667543The Jun part didn't tip you off that he's not white?
>>750628869It's like they're made by people who can't picture a 3D apple in their mind.
the asshole options like petrifying the bot and taking his shit seem cool enough but I wish you could personally do shit like dome the merc chick during dialoguelemme be a psycho
>>750627694What the fuck is wrong with modern graphics? Looks like every other fucking clay looking shit that's been released for the past decade.
>>750668052off the shelf unisex models
>>750630758>We are.No we aren't
>>750631535You can tell that bra was added after they got heckled by SBI to censor it.
>>750654220
>>750657759Lost technology
>>750627694>creators of the worst era of bioware run off to make game>it looks like the worst era of biowareI guess they're consistent at least?
>>750627827When did they start?
>>750627694This trailer is so painfully hollyslop. Even with le epic *music stops* *funny one liner* *music comes back* parts.
>>750669150Forgot to put "funny" in quotes there.
>>750627694>jews of the coastoh god nowits already dead
that marvel tone is brutal
>>750668963>generic soldier>girl in water tank>octopusin water tank>fantasy metal golem guy>old veteran generic soldier but woman>eww>ghost cowbow bard>a wolf>just girl>homeless woman>just girl but blackWhat a lineup holy shit its either the most generic scifi look or the wackiest bullshit
>>750627694I don't know a better phrase for this than Tumblrslop. It comes off like Jupiter Ascending, very obviously written by women (or tr00ns) combining a list of every cliche they could possibly throw in, down to the camera angles, and the pensive, breathy way every single fucking line is spoken because of course that means it's DrAmAtIc.Commander Shepard didn't talk like a faggot. Why are all of these cretins talking like faggots?
>Can't customize because he's "too iconic"
idk it looks fine to me
The squad mates in both this and the expanse are shit. They all look so boring.
>>750627694I read the title as >The Rise of Julian Assangeand I dont know why
>>750627694>>750629259dude looks like a WEG model
>>750627694Looks good so far. Cant wait to try it and see that its actually really dogshit
>>750654267>Ugghh! NO! Youll never get away with it! Someone will rise up to stoulg GLuLgGlUgGluCKKGlug**Cough cough**UGH! YOU BASTARDS! NO! Not there! Not my AsshoAAAHAHHHHHH!!!Based
>>750670131kinda obvious if you believe it's fascism for any person to tell any other person how to be
>>750627694If we can romance the octopus then ill preorderIf not, I sleep
>>750627827They turned woke and retarded. Better to let the Western gaming scene die so that it can be reborn as something better.
>>750628682its ok FF14's second mtg set will pay for this somehow
>>750629367>new mass effect>with marvel tier modern wotc funded writing and a retarded media push that makes every shitty thing about it ten times as apparent

>>750671071HAHAHAHHA

>>750668963Which women are supposed to be romances?

>>750672675I doubt they accounted for players lusting after a literal squid but WotC didn't mind players fucking/getting fucked by a bear in Baldur's Gate 3, so maybe they'll tell the devs to put it in anywaythen again, BG3 was in Early Access and this game is coming out soonish
>2 mass effect clones in 2027>both look shit
>>750672810That's called a pet...
>>750672924>but WotC didn't mind players fucking/getting fucked by a bear in Baldur's Gate 3, so maybe they'll tell the devs to put it in anywayYou don't understand the difference. The bear is for gays and women. A female squid being a romance is "problematic". Get it?
>i have a cool idea for a ga->ok just make sure all the characters are ugly and gay>but...Why are westoid developers/publishers like this?
>>750673185It could hold 8 dildos. Thats a lot of women empowerment being able to peg that much. Dont lose hope, theirs still a chance bro.
>Watch the trailer>Woman talks>Woman is a jeet/brown shit>Close the trailer
>>750673294Hhahaha
>>750673185I hate this world
>>750673390Honestly, same.
Frankly they need to go all in on the consensual bestiality angle in the marketing if they want this game to succeed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j05Q7GOltRM
>>750673580someone here must have read the booksdoes ANYTHING like that get mentioned?
>>750627827cool looking characters are transphobic + chud dogwhistle
Some girls in this game look good but then there's this... thing with the personality of Sera and Pebee to bootWhat the fuck?
>>750673748Isn't she a little old to be a gigglesquee?
>>750673835she's supposed to be young and infected with some crystal disease that made her blind at birth so she sees the world through her drones, it's just her model is fucking hideous compared to other girls for some reason
>>750674096Weird. She looks 40.
>>750673748>>750674096
>>750673748Did they hire mobile game artists or something? Couldn't afford anybody good?
>>750675676There's nobody good left in the industry
WTF I like Suliman.
>>750668963Dawg they 100% hired fuckwads from some hero shooter to make this
>>750674096>it's just her model is fucking hideous compared to other girls for some reasonA common side effect of crystals, unfortunately.
this is the only one of these recent mass effect successors that has a chance and even if the marvel quips are scaled back compared to say the last two bioware RPGs at some point someone has to understand that you have to make something that won't instantly vibe with every teenage white girl that sees it to have a passable script in a western market
>>750676713Too late thoughbeit
