Sacred Symbols+, Episode 421 | Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review Discussion & Spoilercast
Added 2024-11-27 17:00:15 +0000 UTCFriends, we gather once more for a discussion of the ages! Oh, pardon me, I mean DRAGON AGES. Joining me (Matty) for this highly anticipated discussion is none other than Gene Park and Hoeg Law. What happens when a lifelong BioWare stan clashes with two fine gentlemen who ended up on the positive side of this otherwise controversial game? A three hour marathon of debates on all things across the game's myriad of "choices," its gameplay structure, and what an ideal Veilguard even looks like in our eyes. More importantly, we get into the future of this once esteemed developer and assess what future they have, if any, as a team within the EA stable.

Dragon Age : failguard! I need to see the ending of the story, but I think it will be on youtube, too much wokeness here, I just dont understand why you try to make it seem its just like Inquisition ou BG3, just because there are gay characters as well, but they were done in good taste, I dont mind gay characters, but woke writing is shit, and both Inquisition and BG3 were done in good taste…

2025-01-19 08:43:50 +0000 UTCGene's opinion on death of characters in the Mass Effect games was one of the worst takes ever.

2025-01-06 23:26:05 +0000 UTCThe Mass Effect 2 blasphemy is too much to handle.

2024-12-04 06:50:33 +0000 UTCMatty pronoun correcting himself 🤣

2024-12-03 18:09:27 +0000 UTCZero interest in dragonage and this 3 hour spoilercast was awesome. I just love hearing gene matty and rick talk that talk, awesome ep
Marcus
2024-12-03 00:13:15 +0000 UTCYeah it was a pretty disappointing thing to see Gene say and do
PairOfShuse
2024-12-02 19:53:12 +0000 UTCAnd the irony of him literally doing it himself.
Jason
2024-12-02 19:52:05 +0000 UTCThe conversation itself was entertaining but I honestly was surprised at the blatantly tone deaf/kinda racist comment Gene made that only a white person would tell someone of mixed ethnicity to be more *insert race here*. That’s patently false and a pretty short sighted thing to say

2024-12-02 05:07:23 +0000 UTCWait, Hoeg has the LSM account too??? 😂

2024-12-01 20:23:34 +0000 UTCI love Hoeg on spoilercasts! More please

2024-12-01 02:26:48 +0000 UTCDo I get a free sermon with that?
Alec Davis
2024-12-01 00:20:52 +0000 UTCI was discussing the references Lucanis and Trevino make to “coffee” as anachronistic-feeling and reducing the fantasy elements of the world. I’m sorry you didn’t find it useful. -Rick
Hoeg Law
2024-12-01 00:16:21 +0000 UTCProbably cuz Hoeg knows the type of podcaster Gene is. Bro just tramples over everybody except Colin.

2024-11-29 19:31:11 +0000 UTCHoeg is articulate and smart but when you do a lot of podcasts you have to learn to self edit. In short; he needs to stfu sometimes and understand how a 3 way podcast works. His entire schpiel about coffee and relating it to some Star Trek episode followed about his 12th unnecessary interjection. You hate coffee and that’s somehow an issue on par with Taj’s non binary forceness? Cmon bro, not everything that pops into your head needs to come out the mouth.

2024-11-29 16:29:01 +0000 UTCI think a big reason is the lack of investment in new AAA single player teams by the big 3rd parties. The few teams that do spring up seem to get one game before being relegated to support for one of the many live service ventures out there. If there was a healthy supply of "new guard" studios taking the reins from the "old guard", I think people would have less of an attachment to the empty husky that Bioware has become

2024-11-29 14:09:05 +0000 UTCHurts more for me as a big fan of Inquisition and I actually enjoyed Andromeda. I hate to throw around the word cope but people saying anything positive about this game are living off cope. Nice visuals, even if it is a shitty art style, that’s about it for me. All subjective of course but good god I can’t find anything redeeming about this game.

2024-11-29 00:46:10 +0000 UTCBioWare was cooked after Mass Effect 3’s ending and all the talent left. Why anyone chooses to waste money on their slop is beyond me
Katana Silver
2024-11-29 00:38:57 +0000 UTCShout out to Hoeg at the end, I don't think Veilguard is that great of a game myself, but I also found that SkillUps review wasn't his most accurate hes put out, nice to see someone call that out instead of just blindly praising it. Media literacy is incredibly important for critics, and I think Hoeg hit the nail on the head with Matty's review being much more useful and informative from a critical perspective.
The Late Nate
2024-11-28 20:01:36 +0000 UTCHaha, I thought Hoeg started it and Gene was just getting payback.

2024-11-28 19:35:11 +0000 UTCI love Gene, but Christ he interrupts all the time. And then when somebody else tries to chime in he just keeps talking over them.
Diddy’s Dong Quest
2024-11-28 18:37:31 +0000 UTCThe galaxy’s population is getting turned into soup and according to the story, it’s more important to do 16 side missions to recruit characters and then another 16 side missions to gain their loyalty…. All to pad out a 4 hour long main quest line. Seems legit right? And if you aren’t a full paragon or full renegade, you’re not getting the ending you wanted because you didn’t gain a characters loyalty. Oh and if you don’t play the stupid probing mini game, some random squad member just dies going through the omega 4 relay. You can critical path mass effect 1, beat it in 16 hours, and get the same results you would putting in 40 into ME2 or 3 doing everything because if you don’t, the outcome you get sucks.
CUMSoftware
2024-11-28 13:54:27 +0000 UTCHoeg and Gene constantly interrupting each other 😂😂 it's like the Impractical jokers where Sal and Jo keep saying 'let me stop you right there'
Your Boi Nicky V
2024-11-28 13:10:38 +0000 UTCI love guys. But fuck me, let each other finish a thought before interjecting. Obviously I'm not talking about Matty
Phil Walker
2024-11-28 11:52:05 +0000 UTCIt looks to me like the only reason EA keeps them around is because everyone said they would eventually kill them for years, there will be a massive negative reaction etc, but at this point it would be a mercy kill... They aren't even a real Bioware.
Danio
2024-11-28 10:43:10 +0000 UTCDefending any aspect of this piece of shit and then slandering Mass Effect 2 is fucking nuts
Daddy T
2024-11-28 09:45:12 +0000 UTCwhat’s up with this obsession with keeping mediocrity around? if you preform bad at any other job you’d be lucky to get 2 chances. Bioware has gotten 3 and missed every time. why keep them around?

2024-11-28 06:36:12 +0000 UTCMass Effect 2 is peak, actually.

2024-11-28 02:39:45 +0000 UTCAnd you can customize it to your liking! This game is annoying in many respects but if you just wanna kill shit its great for it

2024-11-28 00:28:14 +0000 UTCGlad I dont have to waste money and time to play it now. “White Guilt: The Game” what a joke of a company EA continues to be

2024-11-27 23:32:51 +0000 UTCVeilguard getting a spoiler cast before Metaphor feels wrong somehow lol
Feedbackghost
2024-11-27 23:24:13 +0000 UTCExcellent trio and I think this just sold me on the game. I know the writing is bad and annoying, I know the choices don't matter, blah blah. I don't give a shit about the story anyway. I heard them say the combat is the best BioWare's ever had and as an action RPG, it's pretty good. That's all I needed to hear. When it hits a sale, I'm in. Thanks guys.

2024-11-27 17:35:46 +0000 UTCOh boy, this one will be good. Was honestly pretty bummed by the begining of the game but after I finished it I felt like this was the most 7/10 experience I’ve had this year. Combat is pretty neat, writing was ass and the last act was pretty solid.
