Question: Did anyone here watch the Angry Joe DAI review? Like I'm tempted, how much does he spoil it, if alot I will continue to ignore it.

Haven't seen it, but I've read he basically shows the whole prologue and a few subsequent areas/quests.

 

The guy apparently had access to a different build than what most got for their preview sessions, showing completely new footage.

 

I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're super duper curious.

There have been a ton of press previews over the past week.

 

I like this bit most about that particular article:

 

"[The game] is closer to Origins in overall feel. It's bigger, it's bolder. It plays slower than [Dragon Age 2]. That said, there were some things for DA2 that I felt were very powerful. The characters I felt did a better job of having their own stories or agendas. So we held on to a lot of that. We wanted to make sure they had their own arcs, whether you were romancing them or just friends. The other big thing that we kept from DA2 is that combat in general feels responsive. I think DA2 was very successful in making you feel like oh, I tagged that guy and moved in, I punched him in the face. Some people would get annoyed because they thought I was dismissing Origins, but when your character took a long time to shuffle into position it was like, 'you're a trained warrior, you can do better.'"

Best of both worlds!

And here's part trois of my Mage Adaar X Sera banters.

Part 1

Part 2

 

[Scene] The Party has arrived back at Skyhold. Sera is practicing her archery in the courtyard.

Adaar: So Sera, I was thinking...

 

Sera, drawing pack an arrow and looking at Adaar

 

Sera: What about?
Adaar: You need a new name.

 

Letting loose her arrow

 

Sera: I like "Sera" just fine, thanks.
Adaar: No, I mean like a Qunlat name.

 

Sera draws another arrow

 

Sera: What for though, I ain't qunari.
Adaar: For fun! Besides, you said Sera didn't have a meaning to it, let's give you a name that does!

 

Sera relaxes the bow's string and puts it down

 

Sera: Oh all right then. Come on then, what've you got?

 

Adaar circles around Sera with her hand on her chin, sizing her up. Adaar lifts up one of her arms and pokes her a few times.

 

Sera, lightly smacking Adaar's hand away and laughing: Oi, I'm not some Mabari at a show! So what's my "qunari name" then?
Adaar, taking a step back, hand still on her chin: Alright, how about "Asaaranda?"
Sera: "Azar-what-now?"
Adaar, smiling: A-saar-anda, it means "thunderstorm."
Sera: And how do you think that fits me?
Adaar: Well, you're both loud and sudden, but also very beautiful and powerful. Plus you're both able to kill a man dead before he even knows what hit him.
Sera, flustered: Well...uh...thank you. Heh, yeah I guess that does suit me pretty well. I'll be...seeing your around, later. I need a drink.

 

Sera runs off, Adaar smirks to herself.

angry joe tore his underwear with me when he reviewed DA2. we all know it had...problems but his review dripped with misogny and homophobia so I don't mess with his channel. can't see a person saying things like that and then having my support ever.

now...that is not to deter you, Crim just my experience with son.

I watched 2 minutes of AJ's video and realized I was going to spoil the beginning for myself, so I exited pretty darn quick.

 

I would have loved it if he had made a non-spoilery review too, I have always respected Angry Joes arguments.

Oh yeah I know, I saw that review and was very unimpressed with that. Was immature and unprofessional and damn offensive too. But in general I do enjoy his reviews, that was a bad episode though, can't disagree here.

Thinking about it... I think that the first time I ever heard of him was when someone put a link to that review on BSN. He immediately got filed as "******* to whom I don't need to pay attention" in my mind, and I moved on. Can't say I've felt my life to be impoverished as a result... ;)

He does have a tendency to be especially blunt in his criticisms, but that's actually part of what makes his channel so successful. People enjoy his reviews because they sound more believable/relateable than the PR-infused alternatives found on many official press outlets.

 

I remember really enjoying his video on ME3's ending.

He is a marmite reviewer truly.

Perhaps it'll get reviewed in an honest trailer.

He's eccentric, but I completely disagree on the review dripping with offensive content. I thought it was hilarious and incredibly accurate to the game, and I'm not even a fan of him. His latest video isn't a review though, just 39 minutes of first impressions. As far as I can tell it's not super-spoilerish, and it looks like he's using a different build than what will be the final game. Nothing's a spoiler without context.

 

Perhaps it'll get reviewed in an honest trailer.

 

They're gonna have a field day if it has a lot of nudity. "Also starring, Boooooooooooooooooobs."

I didn't like his various "theories" on the endings and canon, but I triple loved how he absolutely shredded the bad aspects of ME3, tossed them in the trash, set fire to the trash, emptied it out, then stomped on the ashes. That schlock deserves no less.

Yunno about getting betrayed by someone in the Inquisition, I just hope it's someone you have low approval with, man it will bum me out if the stab in the back comes from someone I like. :unsure:  Probably will come from the least likely source, it usually does.

Just for the hell of it, I went on to watch AngryJoe's DAII review. I'm 20 seconds in, and already, my reaction is along the lines of "What the F is this bosh'tet smoking."

On a side note, I actually got to meet him at PAX in Seattle this past summer and found him to be a lot more reserved in person. It was kinda cute :lol:

being blunt is not what he was being in THAT review. that is originally why I happened upon his channel and stayed...until that review. I cannot see someone saying those things and not inherently being homophobic. why would I support him? rhetorical question. I'm not judging anyone that does, let it be known....


...I am side eyeing doe because I'm Kasumi and you can't see it anyway thanks to this hoodie.
