YOU MUST BUY THE RETURN TO FORM PEOPLE WILL ROPE IF YOU DONT CHUDS!!!!!>?!>!>!!?!

it's a return to form. everyone thinks so.
cope and seethe chuddie

Congratulations, you've stumbled upon a key phrase used in reviews for well over a decade now. I first found it being mindlessly thrown out in Assassin's Creed reviews and it took me a while to realise how fucked up it was because it went like this:

Assassin's Creed X: "A return to form!"
Assassin's Creed Y: "A return to form!"
Assassin's Creed Z: "A return to form!"

I don't play those games but by the time we got to ACZ I ended up realising that it's not possible for literally every entry to be a return to form. My two pet theories for this are as follows:

1. Malice: By saying "return to form" it's a win/win scenario in which people who didn't like the last entry are inclined to give the new game a chance, but if you did like the last one then this one can only be better as it's a "return to form".

2. Negligence: ChatGPT/lazy fucking writing.

It's a triumphant return to form what else do you want?

This is extremely dangerous for our democracy.

This is extremely dangerous for our monopoly

RETURN TO FORM

Ice cream? I love ice cream!

Stop nooooticing, goy! You're committing cultural and economical terrorism!!!

return to form

But Inquisition was praised by journos and one Geoff's arbitrary trophy.

chatgpt has been a disaster for mankind

But did they have a blast?

I could tell you the truth and say that it's ChatGPT slop which is why it all sounds the same, but you're not interested in the truth, you want your tiny conspiracy dick stroked.
So yes anon you're right, the entire games industry is so impressed by the lead writer's tranny fetish that they all meet up at his house on Sunday like a king's court and kneel before him, asking him if for instance Mario is jumping high enough or if Sonic's arms should be blue. His answer ranges from the "Upvoted!" of approval to the "That's a yikes-erino!" of discontent, the mere thought of which rattles the very funko pops off the shelves of his fellow Illuminati members. They all bent the knee after they were brought to tears by the scene where the one character says "I love my books!" and the other responds "More than your...friends...?" Much like a Bogandoff he simply needs to pick up his phone (since everyone has him on speed dial, naturally) and bark "REVIEW IT" down the line, then the zeitgeist is built before your eyes. Like that scene from Yakuza 0, he waves his hand before Metacritic and it lights up with uncountable 10s. Now move in Jensen, and shut down the Illuminati for good before all of America falls under its spell and we're forced to classify our children as Body Type 1 or Body Type 2.

It's called

EA told us to use a certain set of phrases in our reviews or we won't be getting any more review codes in the future

heh... you think journalists are bad huh chud? well they're not actually bad, they're just plagiarizing reviews

The trannies raiding this place are mindbroken.

Yet another member of the Games Reviewer Society (the strongest secret world government by the way) trying to hide the truth. It won't work, glowie.

For me it was when everyone called BOTW "a breath of fresh air" then when the hype died out anyone who actually cared about zelda agreed that it's a decent game but a bad zelda game then started wishing for traditional zelda experiences. Until zelda tiktok happened anyway and the nintendo bonus took control of people's brains again.

Do you actually think this is funny? That seems unbelievable.

New blast game confirmed for blast-havers.

It's like when someone in a position of power gets caught doing something fucked up and their defenders go to the typical "Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence!!!!"

Redeem to form

I ended up realising that it's not possible for literally every entry to be a return to form.

Sherlock Holmes over here.

Totally organic review processes, please don't be antisemitic and remember to vote

You're probably right

So is this game a triumphant return to form or what?

Dragon Age: Return To The Form

Partly because journalists all have the same vocabulary of buzzwords, and partly because they were paid to use those specific buzzwords. It's a love letter to marketing.

This. Do the needful and delete the thread OP

shitty "comic book journalism" review sites all use same cliched and overused idiom

is this a paid review?

retards

I tried to post this r*ddit and got immediately banned

Alright, but what form exactly? Andromeda? Anthem?

Bioware sent along talking points with the review copies. The few reviews I listened to all praised the exact same things and made the exact same comparisons to Mass Effect 2 and its Suicide Mission. They also had the same canned line about how "DRAGON AGE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD" as they rate the game lower than Inquisition.

I'm having a blast!

asmongold fortnite kiddos will fall for shit like OP and then turn around and act like they're the next generation of intellectuals and america's "great white hope". so cringe

It's a return to my wallet after refunding this shit

Im pretty sure they've sent the review draft to all magazines and told them to stick to it.

You get a little something extra if you use their approved marketing phrases. Nothing wrong with a little baksheesh if the chuds get thoroughly owned.

Woah, cool it with the anti-semitic remarks.

Return to Form

gaslighting you and nu-gamers into thinking WRPGs were always w*ke

When will gamers going to return to their previously brand-loyal consuming form?

then when the hype died out anyone who actually cared about zelda agreed that it's a decent game but a bad zelda game then started wishing for traditional zelda experiences

shitthatneverhappened.png

when there are respectable brands again that inspire loyalty.
All the established brands have been slopified and rehashed ad infinitum

the fuck are you talking about

it literally still happens today. in fact the #1 thing I hear from normies about the game is that they wish botw/totk had "more zelda like dungeons"

AAAH IM RETOOORNING TO FOOORM

triumphly return

Dragon Age in particular was always fairly woke, I don't know why people had any other expectations whatsoever.

No you don't. You don't hear anything because you don't speak to anyone.

What do lefties even think about stuff like this?
Do they not notice it?

Dragon Age Veilguard does an impressive job expanding the Dragon Age universe, offering a fresh perspective on familiar lore and introducing players to a new cast of complex characters. The story-driven gameplay is gripping, with plenty of strategic combat options and choices that feel significant in the moment, enhancing character development and immersion. The visuals are immersive, and the game world is richly detailed, capturing the essence of Thedas.

However, the choices, while engaging, rarely impact the overarching story, which can feel limiting for players hoping for long-term consequences. Minor bugs and occasionally clunky controls also detract from the experience, and certain side quests feel repetitive. Despite this, Veilguard stands as a solid entry fans will enjoy. While it may not reinvent the series, it masterfully combines solid storytelling with the tactical depth expected from a Dragon Age game.

Overall: 8/10

There, that's chatgpt. You don't need "game journalist" for their cookie cutter bullshit reviews

Chuds are getting desperate, calling gaming journalists 'invalid' just because they champion diversity, creativity, and actual gameplay instead of pandering to some narrow-minded agenda. These journalists highlight the future of gaming—innovative stories, diverse characters, and experiences that go beyond outdated tropes. But chuds hate it because it doesn’t cater to their fragile fantasies. They’re losing their grip on every corner of gaming, so now they’re trying to undermine the people driving the industry forward. It’s pathetic, honestly. The gaming world has moved on, and they’re left throwing tantrums from the sidelinnes

It means that Dragon Age: Veilguard is a triumphant return to form, capturing the depth and complexity that fans of the series have been longing for. With its richly detailed world, layered storytelling, and meaningful character interactions, Veilguard recalls the essence of Dragon Age: Origins while pushing the series forward. The game offers strategic combat that balances classic, party-based tactics with more refined, responsive mechanics. Intricate choices with real consequences remind players of the impactful decision-making that has always defined Dragon Age. Filled with lore, moral dilemmas, and a deeply immersive atmosphere, Dragon Age: Veilguard stands as a testament to BioWare’s commitment to recapturing the magic that made the series a beloved RPG cornerstone.

I hope GamerGate will make a triuphant return to form soon enough...

I'm having a return to form blast.

You niggas are gonna get "return to form" filtered at this rate and that will negatively affect an Undertale yellow fanfic I like of the same name so please cut it out

The gaming world has definitely moved on. Moved onto layoffs and insolvency.

But is the fanfic a triumphant safe return to form for its genre?

Oh no!
Not the Undertale Yellow fanfic!

Two birds

One stone

There are no game reviewers anymore. They just go give instructions to ChatGPT.

The repetitive phrases like "return to form" and "delve into" are an artefact of this. Chat GPT uses the phrase "return to form" 98% more often than a human being does. Especially when asked to review a sequel. It's because it was trained on data sets that include these statements frequently.
You'll also notice reviewers getting things wrong about the game here and there, GPT doesn't actually understand truth, but it knows what a true statement looks like so it will make things up and hope they're correct. It's just predicting what word comes next. Also it has an internal value that judges the benefit of telling lies to conform to social norms, so... yeah there's that information.

full of the exaggerated swagger of a return to form

return to form

Its easy to spot because nobody uses "form" in thi context in conversation anymore. To be real, there is nothing "in form" in murrica anymore

no

It did. It was a pretty common thing to say BOTW is a good game, but a bad zelda game and point out the lack of things people associate with zelda such as good , memorable dungeons. Tunic was so popular because it actually felt like playing a tribute to traditional zelda.
I don't talk to zelda tiktok children. This should be known to you if you were around the BOTW was new.

Holy shit what is THAT supposed to even be? Are we in grade school?

immediately banned

More like return to form'd.

Or maybe they've been told that "return to form" is a mandatory talking point, which is more likely than AI.
You're not as smart as you think you are

Any brave anons wasting his money to actually try it out?
I'm curious how it plays, all gay shit aside

it's just incompetent retards plagiarizing each other

how, they all release their reviews at the same time, as soon as the embargo lifts

It’s literally chatGPT

a return to blast

Media does the same shit with democrats. They’re sent a phrase-of-the-day and they all parrot it. Like Sleepy Joe being “sharp as a tack.”

By saying "return to form" it's a win/win scenario in which people who didn't like the last entry are inclined to give the new game a chance

It's like I get it but imagine actually thinking this whilst your entire gaming empire collapses around you. Imagine still saying something like this whilst you are bankrupting sony, destroying ubisoft, etc. etc. and just clinging to shit like this. This is beyond mentally ill.

I honestly think you post you replied to is just long winded bait. There's no way someone would type all that out without a hint of irony

bots writing reviews at this point, im pretty sure EA needs this game to work and they are not above lying and paying for reviews. this game is going to be filled with AI slop as well

As a straight adult male why should I care about what gaming journalists say? Especially about a game from a studio known for only releasing shit in a franchise where only the first game was semi-decent.
And why are you children so obsessed over this garbage?

As a straight adult male why should I care about gaming?

umh... sweaty? games aren't made for you to enjoy anymore... go do something else you gamergate chud

You retards can only come up with this unfunny ironic nonsense to justify wasting your time obsessing over these big fat steaming piles of shit. Very sad.

Now it's your time to return to form, chud. You WILL return to form.

Triumphant turn from BioWare to BioWaste

Ah yeah, i remember Sten being woke, telling a female warden that women are not fighters, that they should be priests, nurses and caretakers instead

The conspiracy theory that video game reviewers act in coordination has been debunked by independent fact checkers.

I don't think every reviewer who covered pic rel was instructed to say "It really makes you feel like Spider-Man", they're just NPCs who think they're more clever than they really are.

It was a refreshing return to form for the fact checkers

It's definitely gpt sloppa

Is everyone here a literal child who has never seen a cliché before? So much of what gets described as a conspiracy is just that gaming journos are retards who can't get real writing jobs.

google returned your form

It's over

Were so (Back)
Don't Think, Just Consooom!

I feel if I was going to the effort of paying off game reviewers to praise my game, I'd have the foresight to not tell them the exact phrase I want them to use when doing it, and then use that phrase to refer to myself in public. It seems like that would be top of the "how do I avoid getting caught" factsheet.

trannies who regret their transition can't return to form

this phrase is just problematic

People wish botw had dungeons and wish totk was anything other than what it is, but i have never met a person who looks at botw and says 'i wish it had dungeon items and sword upgrades and linear progression'

this cant be real

I think it's more likely they didn't actually tell them to literally use that phrase, and it was more like the message was "please ensure your review talks about how the game is a triumphant return to form for bioware", and those lazy retarded fucks just copy pasted it because they're too stupid to come up with synonyms.

Probably the material sent to them by the developer said to include that phrase in their review.

Sad times indeed when we can't tell anymore. Someone tell these freaks clown world was a meme and not a manual

wait a minute, that hexagonal pyramid...

That’s wild but not surprising at all

When publishers send out review copies they usually attach some talking points they want reviewers to say. Since journos have only gotten stupider as time goes on they just copy and paste it verbatim.

I love the camera panning
I can actually hear the "are you for fucking real"

Unfortunately EA will never cease to exist because retarded men (usually black) will always buy FIFA and sheepbrained women (usually white) will always buy Sims. Both games have a shit ton of micro-transactions that prey on those aforementioned groups.

Ubisoft has nothing besides Assassins Creed.

Nobody takes leddit seriously anyway

When you finally learn English and grammar saar

This is very dangerous to our democracy. Let's return to form guys. It's VEILIN' TIME.

people lament "review bombing"

nary a peep about "journalist" bombing

Why is this?

Sounds like they should return to form

Rules for thee, not for me

review bombing is done by biased sentimental incel chuds who are le evil

journalist "bombing" isn't real because gaming journalists are professionals who won't profit by lying and their opinion is based and unbiased

tiny conspiracy dick

why are you body shaming?

Writing back in the old days for gaming magazines used to be way more diverse and interesting. All the media talk exactly the same for the last 10 or 15 years.

Wait, is game's journalism... Fake?
Are they all... Being fed scripts and paid bribes?

No, clearly only a demented racist would say such a thing! Phew, nearly lost my composure for a second...

post it but present it as a good. thing. Post something like "oh my gerd guys its great that dragon age veilguard is a return to form for the franchise. im so happy." or something like that.

That's literally Japanese to though. To a much worse extent too. Its very inflexible.
English has much more flexibility because it culturally borrows from many other languages but Japanese is incestuous. Theta why you can't properly swear in Japanese, or adapt it to different settings.

For example if you play a medieval or fantasy setting game, in English they will use more ye Olde English and phrases that fit, but Japanese just uses Edojidai phrases that don't fit and a mix of overly polite modern Japanese.

If you play a sci fi or cyberpunk etting, in English you will have modernized phrases with unique terms made for the world lore, like Choom, Nova and stuff in CP77.
In Japanese, no equivalent exists, and again they just use typical Japanese.

Try to make a Nordic setting, a Greek setting, whatever. English will be adjusted to fit culturally, Japanese will again just use polite and edo jidai japanese because it has zero ability to adjust. It just adapts English words verbatim and katakana-ing them, usually with the wrong meanings and pronunciations. Characters who use rough or unique manners of speech will simply be made to use edo jidai or kansai dialect.

In modern day Japanese as well, people barely ever stray from decided patterns of speech, which makes Japanese speech easy to pick up but also limited in verbosity and ability to explain certain concepts without resorting to English words. Speaking in a more unique manner or with an enhanced vocabulary immediately imprints you as weird. 50% of what young people say is へーそうなんだ、すごい、ヤバイね、まじ、かっこいいね、あるあるな、えぐ、そういう事もあるんだ、etc etc

These reviews are incredibly repetitive, obviously paid and bought for talking points, but please, Japanese fares just as bad if not worse on the vocabular literacy front.

Assassin's Creed "returning to form" is such a funny notion, because all of those games are shit.

Stop being reasonable, we're here to piss and shit our pants about video games, faggot.

Why don't scamco want me to whale on their idol slop gacha?

Not really. BotW had the best puzzle design in the series up to that point, flat out. It also had a really appealing sense of exploration and discovery.
I don't to "return to the traditional formula", because that means Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess again, and the magic was clearly waning by the time those came out.
what I would like is for the core dungeons to be a bit more memorable and spectacular, and the NPC quests to be more existent as a thing, sure.

This genuinely might be the most heavily shilled game I've ever seen. Like not even TLOU2 felt this artificial because at the very least I could understand someone liking that game. This piece of garbage has literally nothing going for it.

form: returned

status: triumphant

Yep, it's gaming time

CUM ON CAT HISS ON DRAGON AGE BLAST BUCKET IN RETURN TO FORM

I see this as evidence of how little good journos have to say about the game that they need to pad their review with platitudes. Especially since there are so many worthless review outlets out there (all of them) so it's no surprise that sometimes they'll say the same thing.

post is literally just "nuh uh"

you're only allowed to mention how shit the previous entries are if you're pretending the new one fixes these flaws, even if it doesn't

I hate this particular brand of newspeak

fuck this made me giggle like a retard

based linguist anon

Their propaganda requires people to see the past as inherently bad. "Progress" and all that shit.

kek

How interesting. What form are we returning from and what was wrong with it?

When publishers send review copies to publications, they also send a list of instructions, including things they're not allowed to talk about and instructions on what to say about the game. Reviewers often copy/paste phrasing directly out of these instructions in order to make their compliance as clear as possible.

Failure to adhere means getting your publication blacklisted from future review copies, not just by that publisher but also by other ones that want shillpieces not criticism.

Though nowadays this could just be shitty AI as well.

limiting paid rolls to 60 jewels (less than a dollar) per day is bad actually

lol
they have the actual concerts as well as merchandise to keep them alive, and maybe pay for Unknown9 lmao

doesn't remember "gamers are dead"

First time?

You guys are huge faggots for trying to jerk yourselves off by pretending this occurred organically

A show of force, like the "gamers are dead" media barrage of 2014. They are telling you "we can force this game to be a success, we are kingmakers".
You guys underestimate just how hard the failure of Concord mindbroke the troons, they see Veilguard as their chance to reverse the trend, they are desperate to prove that pozzed games make money, so their emotional investment in the success of Veilguard is absolutely immense. They have to shill it as hard as humanly possible, they have to shill it with every fiber of their being, because if they get another woke flop, not only will it prove that pozzed games are financial disasters, it will also prove that journos don't have much influence on the consumer. They live to shill and to poz, and Veilguard failing would be a huge blow against their ability to do both.

How did I do? Does it feel organic?

xc.png - 806x1593, 115.83K

they get paid a couple of cents for each shill post, its really hard to be a jeet. please understand

LMAO AI generated reviews

You're telling me this isn't from an actual """games""" """"""journalist""""""? Absolutely nailed it

poal.me/v1ryul
It's time to settle this once and for all

Thinking back, maybe the character designers at Concord were actually geniuses all along. Bazz’s color combinations, facial silhouette and recognizable sunglasses are actually pretty distinct and iconic.
It’s like recognizing Sonic from his blue spikey silhouette or Mario from his red ‘M’ cap.

Bros… maybe we were too hard on their character designers all along… they made a modern day masterpiece in terms of brand recognition

Why even bother? If a puzzle can be solved immediately with zero work or thought, then you're just making the player waste time going through the motions.

That's literally Japanese to though. To a much worse extent too. Its very inflexible.

t.doesn't know japanese

I'm hoping it succeeds just so I can see what kind of insanity will follow it.

Paid review guidelines. You think that publisher/developers just hand them cheques to write positive reviews? Nah, they give them a list of things to say about the game.

Don't you just love manufactured consent.

The concept of mandatory talking points is known to you I hope. As is the concept of buying reviews? Cause I gotta question what I'm reading here.

illiterate chuds don't know what this means

it's a good thing especially since reviewers unequivocally agree on it

23423423242.jpg - 675x132, 18.59K

Reviewers are retarded and they just pasted the paid talking points in ChatGPT

when was that moment when DA had a form that was succesful and brilliant? Origins?

but bg3 is financial success and inserting woke elements into space marine 2 didn't hurt it.

Shills are getting sloppy. They don't even make original reviews anymore. Or maybe they're using AI.

hmmm... anyone care to remind me again how Gamergate started....

Maybe it's their way of saying the game is shit while still collecting a check?
It's not like people couldn't tell, though. Games journalists are not needed in this time and age when there's clearly no difference between their articles and official promotional material

Misogyny

Why bother? Nobody actually reads them besides ragebait merchants and it's only a matter of time before studios realize they're wasting their money buying them off.

Origins was not that great I think they mean Inquisition

a stronk indie wahman shouldn't be judged for sucking reviewers' dicks for good reviews.
Gamergate was bad for making wahmen feel bad

...drumpf is going to win again isn't he

Zoe Quinn sucked and fucked like 5 guys for favorable reviews for her shitty game

It’s not even a “return to form” since it plays nothing like the old Dragon Age games. Who do these reviewers think they’re fooling?

Inquisition. The best selling and most critically acclaimed DA game. Cope.

Why do you hate women and minorities in gaming?

oh no, malding and seething gamergate champion spotted...

It did, unless you consider chapgpt inorganic which is fair. It's a common saying and if it were an actual conspiracy we wouldn't be seeing it on only one or two major review sites. Kotaku, polygon, ALL the big names would be saying it if they were given specific instructions to say the phrase.
To me it just seems like they've got nothing better to say, no actual quantifiable praise to give, so themyheap in a common saying, which "return to form" is. Especially when talking about a series that's been away for a while.
Just try thinking about it rationally for two seconds instead immediately assuming it's a conspiracy. They only do that when they feel seriously threatened (see: gaymer gayte). They're definitely all of one mind in wanting veilguard to succeed because of the tranny quest, but as far as this specific phrasing goes, I'm just not seeing it there like it was for "gamers are dead".

This is extremely dangerous for our democracy.

Not they were just paid. Dilate back to africa

Just telling him to return to form will suffice (Africa is implied)

"return to form" is. Especially when talking about a series that's been away for a while.

b-but according to and , Inquisition, their last DA game was already the form. That sounds rather...conservative...

You know, being able to play a female character in an RPG and there being a grand total of two bi-sexual (with one of them even literally telling he still prefers women lmao) people in the game is not woke. I really fucking despise you people and your deranged attempts at rewriting history. DAO was literally marketed as edgy gorefest of an RPG (This is the New Shit, anyone?) and you were actively encouraged to be a fucking bastard.

The way I'm hearing the game described: grindy combat, mediocre story, gayness for the sake of gayness, it definitely does sound like a return to inquistition.

Does anyone explain in the game's lore/story who performs the transitioning surgeries and why do they leave top-surgery scars instead of using magic to cover/heal/conceal them?

It never fucking stopped.

JUST FUCKING BUY IT CHUDDIES, JOBS ARE AT STAKE!!!

They hated him because he told the truth.

could be that they werent told anything, but feel obligated to shill to stay in the publishers good graces

Looking at this thread kinda feels like you guys take pop entertainment more seriously than you really should. Things like kids movies, shows, toys, and games as the bed rock foundation of our society. Imagine telling someone who doesn’t spend all their time online that a bunch of fail writers in revolving door job positions ChatGPT’d all their reviews for a shitty game and this is supposed to be a really big deal. You’d look retarded honestly

stop noticing!!

Considering the rampant usage of "triumphant return to form", they undoubtedly received some sort of guidance from bioware.

The codephrase that mindbroke vtard trash lol

It's not a big deal, you're right. Many anons here are seriously mentally ill and so they get swept up in the frenzy.
But in the context of a video game discussion board, in the thread about a newly released game, where there's evidence for either a repetition of dev provided talking points, use of chatgpt, or simply a series of uninspired reviews, it does not bode well for the quality and future of said game.

Yeah dude if you don’t speak up over the great dragon age review conspiracy, society as we know it may be at risk

DA has always been woke. Just because you're a faggot so identify with the game doesn't mean it isn't woke.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

You should do what your buddies do and try blaming *phobia instead.

I mean most of the board already assumed the game was going to be bad. Reviews won’t really change that. And it’s also not a huge leap to assume game publication sites are dishonest or bias when the bulk of their revenue comes from pushing ads. The day of papers/magazine subscriptions are over. Shilling with advertisers money is how these companies stay a float

reddit reaction image

I see what’s going on

This looks like muslim-indian Squid Games

you know you don't have to buy this shit, right?

Were you recently dropped on your head?

output_review(game="Dragon Age: The Veilguard", tone="positive")

def generate_praise_text(game, features, tone="enthusiastic"):
response = f"{game} delivers an unparalleled RPG experience. With {features}, it creates a world that captivates players at every turn. A must-play for fans of fantasy!"
return response

# Running simulation...
response = generate_praise_text(
game="Dragon Age: The Veilguard",
features=["immersive storytelling", "complex character arcs", "unique realm mechanics"]
)

print(response)

and you don't have to shill it

b-b-but i'm a paid shill

you know you can find a better job, right?

It's the truth and if you don't agree you're everything wrong with society.

speech pattern changed when alluded to being a redditor

Mask is falling

cyberpunk2077.webm

Is called paid reviews, they send a skeleton script to journalist so they can repeat the key points, same thing happens in normal journalism

speech pattern changed

Not just dropped on your head, I think we're witnessing a live meltdown lol

this is mesmerising

A blasting return

This is the kind of people that was really mad at that monke wukong game
Imagine being less than bug

free youtube view dollars for whatever outrage youtube does a compilation

went to the smug anime folder to try to fit in further

Not buying it

Remember when EA had a bot farm of people globally sucking them off with the same comments? A real return to form.

A marketing bot script copy-pasting a "review" across multiple sites.

This is the kind of shit that baffles me, if your "puzzle" is going to be just dragging a stone 2 meters from the point why the fuck would even bother to make that?

Was that the one with totally real names like Fries from France?

What a disgusting little cunt you are, man. Go to hell. Every time people find a hint of a plot between mega-corporations to influence normal people, human trash like you come along and try to say it's no big deal. “Stop talking about it! Stop paying attention! It's just video games and toys! You need to grow up!” Fuck off, you son of a bitch! If the guys do it for video games, what's to stop them from doing it with any other product, idea, political party, law, etc.? I excuse the imbeciles and the ignorant, but I can't excuse despicable beings like you who show up to do damage control every time people start to realize that they might be being manipulated. You're worse than shit. You're the kind of guy who, in a revolution, needs to go to the wall, and I'm not exaggerating.

The game isn’t out yet I don’t think so it’s locked. Unless I’m wrong metacritic doesn’t let users review any game before release

only $20 extra dollars?!

What the actual fuck is this

That's been the default for ages now. They just reword some text blocks they've been provided with and print that, to ensure they get to participate in the news cycle thanks to a review copy the next time, too.
If they write their own review, they'll be excluded next time and the easy money stops.

Western mafia really need a poster game for their GOTY huh....

Review platforms are paid to shill game

Review platforms can't be assed to even play it

Review platforms use chatGPT to write a half assed piece of crap

This is somehow a conspiracy

2024 year of the flop

YOU'RE DOING A HECKIN GAMERGATE

this post right here made me return to form

Easy money

Form where even?
How do reviewers even make money now?

Since our latest Dragon Age game was a success, we will make our new game a return to that game's form.

doesn't that sound rather conservative?

Why does this look like it was trained on liveleak videos

I guess, though i doubt it matters
They want people to think WAOHHH DRAGON AGE IS BACK!!

fairly woke

Yeah I remember when my city elf woke up and almost got raped, their cousin did get raped (let her go another round for 100 gold as well)

normalfags without adblockers

yeah setting up for the goty awards

this thread is a triumphant return to form.

go to board about a niche

complain they care too much about the niche

get the fuck out normalfaggot, you should have been gatekept.

You don’t care about gaming or you would have ignored game reviews about a decade ago. Get real you dumb faggot

get out faggot you should have been gatekept

i know guys like you just love things that are ten years old, but maybe it's time to get over gamergate.

It's almost like this is one piece of the larger puzzle or something. Fucking idiot.

you aren't allowed to laugh at game reviews!

outsiders don't get to set the standards for a community.

Ok, you get over whatever trauma led you to becoming a tranny first.

I aint reading all that NIGGER

Truly a return to form for video game journalists

i know guys like you just love things that are ten years old

isn't that the form that some new games want to return to?

return to form?
more like return to ashes LOL!

its also the age at which Discord trannies groom their victims.

Dang, Bioware should have went with a classing "Darks Souls of..." click bait instead

As others have already pointed out, it literally reads/looks like they're using AI to write reviews which I wouldn't even be surprised at this point. I don't even think their supervisors give a shit if they use AI generated writing, even though you'd think game review companies would get in trouble for allowing AI generated written content.

this mad at getting completely btfo

you should probably just take the l. like you did ten years ago

Has there ever been a case of pre emptive damage control at THIS fucking level. This is painfully transparent.

Resident Evil 7 reviews were like this, return to roots. It was first person Zoomer gameplay.

I fucking love AI slop like this

Not as big of an L as when your dad realized he raised a faggot

in case you forgot why gamers stopped caring about review sites

IT BROKE ME AND NEW GROUND BY RETURNING TO FORM IN A BOLD WAY THAT REALLY MAKES ME SWAGGER LIKE AN EXAGGERATED TRIUMPHANT TEEN

Bought and paid woke propaganda reviews.
Gamer Gate 3.0

STOP noticing THINGS!

thank you

It’s not unless the puzzle is that digital media killed the idea of publication which was ultimately a means to sell papers and subscriptions. When they couldn’t do that anymore they went online and hoped for clicks to drive revenue via selling ads. When the internet homogenized to the same 5 websites, the clicks disappeared as did revenue. This lead publications into defaulting into 2 avenues, 1: make the website utterly unusable with ads to squeeze whatever money out of any poor soul without an ad block, and 2: sponsorship deals in which you pretty much write an article about something being good. Gaming publications do the second because how else will they make money. Then the final piece is chatGPT. No one reads reviews anymore, too many words, don’t wanna leave my chosen social media, gimme the number. But the publications still need to actually write reviews so metacritic will notice them so chatGPT, helps these sites pump out as many reviews as possible to feed whatever the algorithm is currently into. So now everything is not only fake but all written the same

This, they've been getting flunk after flunk and bg3 doesn't push woke shit enough
they need to clean their image after concord/dustborn/unknown9 etc and veilguard is their best shot even if it looks mediocre

animatronics.webm - 1280x720, 3.93M

Three decades too old finding this out.
These websites are used to push you higher up in search engines

Faggots don't understand the slippery slope, it starts with one faggot character and eventually devolves into this game. Whoever bought dragon age origins is to blame for this.

test

This but unironically

return to form

Bioware is owned by EA and produces some of the only games besides sports that they actually sell. They simply cannot allow this game to fail.

Bizarre manlet proportions with a giant head. So strange to look at. Multiple people had to look at this and greenlight it.

It's almost like they read off a sponsored script that tells them what to say or something

I built a bridge with a freaking orb???

looks like they smeared pistachio cream all over themselves

that writing

Someone spent a ton of money in college to acquire those writing skills

publisher sponsorships

How is this game rated 18+ yet they're doing condescending teachable moments for toddlers?

If you would like a video games imageboard with less discord raid and bait problems, consider 8ch dot moe slash v.

Sorry bro, 4channel may be shit but I don’t wanna hang with pedophiles

It feels like you are really a return to form.
Game on!

I guess it's not just twitter that's infested with bots

Zoe Quinn sucked and fucked like 5 guys for favorable reviews for her shitty game

That's not what happened.

we've been through this already

7BFjPIM.jpg - 2160x2164, 756K

If I had to avoid putting on the conspiracy cap, I would say that the reason this phrase keeps cropping up so much is because modern day game writers and reviewers are simply that unoriginal. They're looking for a cool tagline and they believe that's it, because they;ve been reading previews that say "could this be a return to form?" for months. That's it. They're just not very imaginative or experssive with their criticism. Exactly why this game is written how it is.

Guys, I'm starting to suspect that vidya journalists might be trading away their integrity for access.

b-but that's what the video on the side of youtube said, the one with the funny cartoon noises and the subway surfer gameplay. i was there, i swear!!

whore wasn't a whore

But we know they conspire.

this comes out, games journalists overplay their hand and "neutral" respected reviewers like SkillUp completely penetrate the image before it starts

a year of SBI and DEI exposure

multiple woke flops

donald trump wins

It's lining up to make 2025 a true retvrn to form for the gamergaters. I don't know if I have the energy to join in on this one. The last one just made the journos even more steadfast in their silliness.

She is a whore that fucked 5 guys while being in relationship and claiming that cheating is as bad as rape, but she didn't fucked for positive reviews.

That's nonsense. It's time to start trusting video game reviewers. You don't seem to have enough trust in video game reviewers, are you a chud? Are you a dangerous gamergate chud? So you're a dangerous gamergate chud, huh? A literal nazi trying to attack integral part of the gaming community when he doesn't even belong? Grow up you manchild.

this level of cope

Christ that's disgusting

had relations with person who positively reviewed her "game"

said person went to promote the "game" and recommend it for awards

Pol outrage bait. Do not falter.

And games journalists wonder why everyone fucking hates them

Lmao

How many journos do you think sucked Corinne's cock?

1654371951451.png - 600x406, 214.87K

everything is just so ugly.. its painful to look at

is it so unbelievable that when being paid off to give a positive review, they are fed lines to include? you dont need to evoke a massive strawman conspiracy for this to be believable. advertisers have linereads all the time when their products are placed, its probably not uncommon for it to happen with reviewers too. If Activision were to pay off reviewers to positively review the latest cod, they would probably say something like "and make sure you mention omni movement in a positive light". This shit is probably happening all the time, just more subtly. some fucktard at EA's marketing division probably didnt realize how on the nose it was to dictate they all use the exact same turn of phrase.

but to use your same gay tactics

yeah man you're right, corporations literally never reach out to review outlets and publications, they are actually completely separate entities with the highest level of integrity and honesty at all times, and furthermore, there has never been such a thing as a botched or incompetent marketing campaign.

Where were you faggots when we were having this thread with receipts that these are in fact all chat GPT outputs?

arch.b4k.co/v/thread/693148543/#693148543

At least the topic is catching on

AI doesn't generate the same text every time unless you explicitly tell it to, there's an inbuilt degree of randomness for each prompt.

What the actual fuck is this

It's called Fortifying the Democracy, Election and Review scores against chuddie nazis.

623732785823.png - 1890x982, 734.3K

That's literally too much effort, they have 1 person write a paragraph and then tell others to change it up by a couple words before posting, you're implying they would actually be smart enough and waste time going to chatGPT to actually make it talk coherently, it's literally just a bunch of indians copy and pasting shit.

Man godzilla is so hot
Also you guys are a bit late on this, we've known about GameJournoPros for 10 years now when all these retards TOTALLY COINCIDENTALLY announced that gamers were dead at the same time
Also we should file an ftc complaint, it'd be funny.

TOPPEST OF FUCKING KEKKKKKKKEROONIESSSSSSS
This cant be real right?
Is no one calling out this fucking blatant Jeet hindoodoo rape rat spam garbage? This is without a doubt the most cuckthetic """vidya gaym **review** """ I have seen in years. Like I can smell the curry not only unwashed for years BO but the holy sacred **bathing** in cow shit&piss mixture on the floor of the holy rat temple in the rodents drinking fountain.

Who the fuck reads this shit in this day and age? Good lord this is going to be fucking hilarious when real youtube reviews come out with gameplay footage. And the reviewer doesn't bring up anything of the tranny&etc mental illness shit in characture creaturACKations. Dude just makes the most vile repulsive looking hesheittheycreature possible for teh lulz. And because being a tranny in this game gives you magical special options all over the place when talking to NPC/doing quests. The review will speak for itself when normal people see this mental illness shoved down their throat everywhere.

The wonderful poorly made even more poorly unoptimized unreal engine goyslop(because thats racist and sexist game optimization is a neo-nazi chud dog whistle its pointless busy work that no one cares about unlike all the loonytroon pedosexual rights in the game!)
All the ""puzzles"" that are made for children with literal brain damaged. That insult your intelligence greatly because simple shit like this does not belong in a game where the average player is above the age of 20. God forbid it having fucking yellow bullshit everywhere markers popping up all over the place the game reminding you with audio and a giant fucking minimap flashing nonstop. When the quest is going from point A-B find key to door by pushing X and looking at big yellow circle while the game tells you this key opens the door beside it with a fucking marker and even more hand holding.

How the battle system is a fucking joke and mockery etcetcetc

Kek, even shillup didn't like it

irony: the post

Hear me out…

If you're trying to make a point about Anon Babble, need I remind you that shareblue is here, RIGHT NOW, desperately damage controlling.

my form returns
my cup runneth over

When you do an ad the company usually gives you some phrases that you have to include.

But what if the AI only knows one particular idiom?

So when Wukong feeds journos lines about not talking about Covid-19 it's heckin based and journos need to respect it, but when Bioware feeds lines to journos it's ruining game journalism integrity somehow.

That's not the case. All I'm saying is the claim they all have this phrase due to AI is stupid, and it's more likely the journos are handed a template for their review by BioWare in order to get early access.

WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE JOURNALISTS???!!!

Post it to r/KotakuInAction

that better be a tutorial bridge or some shit to teach you that it's possible

If that's the case, then how come EA doesn't explicitly mandate that the template must be rewritten and not copy/pasted?

Journalists keeping their jobs

the gamestop review is a 7 though, aka trash

Precisely, so many legacy media sites have either gone under in 2024 or had to layoffs a significant amount of employees. If you want to keep your job right now in journalism then you need to do exactly what everyone else is being instructed to do on the slack channels. Deviate and you will lose your n
Job.

How did he know?! Wtf?

we're forced to classify our children as Body Type 1 or Body Type 2.

The funny thing is that I can see this happening in a near future

This is genuinely suspicious, I don't usually bite the ragebait but this is too fucking obvious

Why do they make so many games purely for people living in California? You are limiting your market for no reason.

What was the last truly fun Bioware game?
Jade empire?

Because all the developers are from there or irrationally hate the other 96% of the country (All states except Commiefornia and Jew York)

post any criticism

it's now witch hunting

They think that their worldview is something that is widely accepted by the general public because we're mostly too polite to tell them otherwise

You Googling yourself.

Nooo, you can't just have AI replace us heckin' jounralists!

This shit isn't natural something wierd is going on

Clearly that's an important phrase to their marketing strategy. These companies don't just send the game and tell reviewers to give it their honest opinion. Lord no. Review copies come with press kits, which include key phrases and points for the reviewers to address. In turn, reviewers slavishly pass off these marketing phrases as their own words. They know that their job is to disperse marketing materials first, and to "review" second (so long as their critique doesn't undermine the marketing). Many of you point to AI as if you're uncovering some sort of sinister conspiracy, but these copy/paste reviews have existed for decades.

If you're going to be paid to lie the least immoral solution is making it obvious you are lying. You're still a piece of shit though.

That's where I'd place it on the timeline since Mass Effect was cover shooting shit that felt painfully derivative of Tears of War even back then. If you wanna go further, you can even make a decent case that there's never been a good CRPG where the protagonist fully voiced their dialogue options.

Oh shit the latest grummzgrift just dropped???

Yeah I remember Olivia from Bolivia

Bioware has always been shit and their garbage games are what cemented "romance" as a core feature of the CRPG genre, damning RPGs forever.

oh boy.

Purchased reviews/purchased influencers/fake enthusiasm to push the message

google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=re7 return to roots

Resident Evil 7 "organic reviews": Return to to roots
Dragon's Dogma 2 "organic reviews": Having a blast
Dragon Age Veilguard "organic reviews": Return to form
Silent Hill 2 Remake "organic reviews": Against all odds/Bloober redeemed
I loathe all of them. Resident Evil 7's campaign was full on that phrase nonstop. It wasn't, it was a typical zoomer streamer bait game in first person. Nothing at all like the original Resident Evil games. Dragon's Dogma 2 should put to rest any doubts that Capcom doesn't have viral marketers hard at work. Instead of Anon Babble's obnoxious fascination with men's penises like SphereHunter, why don't you fucking put 1+1 together and realize when you're in a viral marketing campaign. Resident Evil 7 was painfully marketing campaigns with the added sprinkles of RETURN TO SERIES ROOTS reviews and "welcome to the family, haha hilarious meme XD haha!". I fucking every one of you for buying that dogshit game. Resident Evil is third person survival horror, not LE EPIC KOJIMA PT DEMO HOUSE XD WALKING FPS. Fuck you, FUCK YOU for starting that trend chasing fad of RE7 and zoomer streamer gamers.

And most of all FUCK YOU EA I WILL NOT BUY DRAGON'S HRT VEILGARD nor will I give Konami a cent for Silent Treatment UnderHRT 2. Mongoloids will argue about ugly ass Maria when the real issue is the gameplay is dodge slop and lazy generic homogenized third person camera.

Sounds like a triumphant return to form. Why are you mad? Are you allergic to good games, chud?

Anon Babble discovers paid reviews have guidelines

Pfffft, read the marketing material

Directed by Michael Bay

Good thing California passed laws against fake reviews.

Reminder that pretty much every gaming outlet is owned by the same organization.
You aren't getting a dozen reviews from a dozen companies, you're getting one ad from Ziff Davis (who employs many 'former' CIA agents btw)

IT BROKE ME

lmfao i hate reading this. its super annoying but your post made me laugh

It's called Ziff Davis

That is how all leftists write

'member in the 90s when certain cartoons for kids were overly preachy and unsubtle and EVERYONE made fun of them?

Please don't attach muh boy Adaaaam to your shitposts
Thanks

Post yfw you don't visit/read a single one of these publications.

gets told what you're literally looking at

flip out

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

havent given ANY of those sites a single click in over 10 years.

Thanks for this triumphant return to form, Bioware and EA!

I guess they heard the cries of faggots that BG3 was too hard and there was no handholding so they decided to make DAV very retard accessible.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Me neither.

This is genuinely one of the saddest thing I've ever seen in vidya scene. Like why they're so blatant with the shill?

literally cultist chanting

Game is clearly aimed at queerosexuals

Game is dumbed down to a child's level of understanding

Really makes ya think.

Aggregated news outlets. Those are just reposted stories. The AP has been doing this since 1846. It's a way for little shit outlets to pray for traffic, though before it used to be for getting news to all parts of the country.

Careful! You might start a new Goymer Gate and that would be antisemitic!

Like why they're so blatant with the shill?

Because they can get away with. The only people left on earth who trust game journos will defend them no matter what.

all this text to just say

i'm gay

I don't mean that, I mean making me jump through hoops to play their game instead of just localizing it.

Is gamejournopros still going?

whore fucked five men to get favorable reviews on her garbage game

get your review copy which includes cliff notes on how you should review the game from EA

copy it in the most lazy way possible because you arent just gay but also an incompetent journoloid

all reviews end up the same

You guys are that new, or have short term memory loss? It was the whole The Last of Us 2 shitsorm that got Sony to directly intervene by contacting Metacritic, User Reviews destroyed the first day reputation of TLoU2, since then Metacritic locked User Reviews out of release day, it deploys a 48 hours cool down period as an excuse to say you actually played the game for a good while in order to post a User Review.

and she got her ex killed by false accusations

It's an inside joke.

Looks like they're having a blast.

women copy each others work

People who say this is AI is midwit shit in MY opinion. It's more like they're just paid reviews and they're told to include that phrase. I've use AI a ton for gooning and I doubt it'd just the same phrase like that over and over unless they all prompted it to

Sorry the truth makes you quiver in fear, journalist

oh yeah, whats the rundown on that again? i think the guy made music for an indie game or something, got accused by her, was shunned by everyone around him and then he killed himself, right?

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

How to bait easy clicks 101.

I'M HAVING A BLAST

The game isn’t out retard. What’s the point of user reviews when no user should have the game right now

I've use AI a ton for gooning

bro you could have left this out

Did the ai watch a bunch of chink webms or something?

World news would improve if these faggots never got the "bringer of truth and justice" mark from years ago and you could just, you know, see one of these bitches on street and beat them to death

RETURNING TO FORM IN A FORM THAT RETURNS TO FORM FORMING A FORM RETURNS FORMS TO FORMS

implying they won’t lose their jobs regardless of the game’s success

Lmao they have no shame
And some people still have the balls to deny that some AAA games get artificially shilled everywhere

They definitely prompted it to but AI works by co-relating concepts; like sky and blue etc. blue is then also associated with everything else blue and this all leads to a multidimensional array of association which is where GPUs end up being the way it is processed.
It's entirely possible that a prompt term is associated in ways you don't expect or intend; in this case Dragon, Age, Veil, Guard can all have associations that are not intended, and at the very least restrict otherwise varying output to be more similar.

go back to jerking off to people raping dead animals, mark. no one wants to browse your shitty police state of a board

major publisher gives journos talking points

they all just repeat them haphazardly because they’re retarded

this is a conspiracy somehow

You can tell these faggots are desperate to cover this shit up.

Yeah, it was the artist of Night in the Woods. And his sister defended Zoe to get enough influence to fund Baby Ghosts, the company behind SBI.

I mean it looks/plays/feels like DA on the PS3
or at least from what I remember it being like the last time I played 3ish years ago. Its not as colourful and some shitty filter applied to everything on the PS3 version.
We went from unreal slop piss and bloom filters to fucking these bright unrealistic colours with like vasoline/smear filters

Almost 2 god damn decades and the disastrous effects from the xbone360/DirectX just terrible fugly awful colour theory&dumpster fire cheap effects&filters shoved on top of each other. Because devs are fucking lazy, oh and enjoy your GPU overheating due to working overtime. Since it must fucking compute all this garbage being thrown on top of more garbage. Because creating real textures&models is HARD!!! These wonderful tools save us work and makes goyms look great! unoptimized sludge you say THATS WHAT A NAZICHUD WOULD SAY. Respect gamedevs that have absolutely no artistic merit dignity or work ethics nor any real formal education on gamedev/modding. Unless its unreal/unity slop on the chopping block pointNclick dragNdrop trash any retard can do/learn in weeks.
