The game supposedly sold even worse than this year's other big flop, Star Wars Outlaws. And here, just to be clear, I'm not going into the merits of whether the game is bad or not, but the fact is that it didn't sell as much as Ubisoft had hoped, so it's a flop. That said, let's get on with the news.
ENDYMIONtv explains the supposedly terrible sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard in a new video. His source said that the RPG seems to have sold around 500,000 copies, half the amount of Star Wars Outlaws.

Disappointing if true as it's a great action adventure game. 32+ hours into the game as of now, it's looking like an easy 9.0/10 minimum for me. My biggest negatives are the massive skill tree for your character, the companions don't argue/fight as there's no real conflict since they all seem to be on the same page in trying to accomplish their main goal which I won't spoil. And you can't swim. If the water is deep, you drown and respawn right where you went into the water.

Visually, game looks great, love the art style and the environments are excellent. Good sound effects, great voice acting and a banger soundtrack especially during the main story quest line. Combat and gameplay is very satisfying even though I should have played on a higher difficulty level as im not really having any issues for the most part. Story and characters have been great thus far. It's definitely light toned instead of dark toned but still enjoying it and I like all the characters and companions thus far. Only have one left to unlock which is the companion that most seemed to have an issue with due to the writing around the character.

It's definitely in the running to be my 2024 game of the year along with Stellar Blade and the only other game that I expect to be in the running for me is the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle which im really looking forward to.

I mean, it sounds like a worse game but I sort of doubt it. A flop either way, though.

As far as I have been tracking the game is doing slightly better than Outlaws, I expect a 1.5 million sales in a month which is 500k more than Outlaws.

Its hilarious that Trump winning would be the reason for Bioware not getting shuttered, the interest rates will go down and the corporate pigs like EA, Sony, Xbox will again pig out on loaned money. If interest rates go down then Bioware sticks around till the new mass effect otherwise I see at least 150-250 people being laid off

with media gaslighting the people with reviews and news. media, bioware and EA can just fuck off. no value would be lost.

EA have announced no DLC for veil guard and Bioware have already moved on to making Mass Effect 5.
Another franchise that can be further ran into the ground by talentless man children.

I saw the vid. Don’t agree with his estimates. He doesn’t have access to data that we don’t to extrapolate such estimates.

Not sayinh any of this is untrue… just rather wait for more legit sales data and estimates.

I don't want any art, narrative or dialogue related dev from Veilguard to touch the Mass Effect franchise with a 10 feet pole. Ruining Dragon Age was one too many.

Better yet, just give the franchise to Respawn. Bioware is too far gone.




Endymion as a source.

EA is free to let us know if and by how much Endymion is wrong at any time. Kinda weird that more than a week after launch they told us nothing about sales.
Sony didn't talk about Astro Bot sales for over two months after release, then came out to say that it sold 1.5m copies in 9 weeks (in an official investor slide no less, which tells you how happy they were with the results).

This idea that every company comes out with good news on their sales ASAP or there are no good news is retarded as fuck.

Different companies have different communication strategies.

Can you dispute any of his sources from EA? And their claims?

You can always let mods know.
He needs to prove he has any sources to begin with. First by actually being right on things.

This is the guy who got clowned by CD Projekt's CEO on Twitter. He has zero successful scoops, and yet somehow has sources all over the globe feeding him info on nearly every big AAA publisher? I call bullshit.

Him deleting posts is not a "source". He could have any reason for deleting the tweets.

Also Vara Dark rofl. These grifters have you guys by the balls.

Also Jason, as much as I dislike him as a person, has a strong track record of reporting on games.

Because CD Projects are clowns, gaslighting people. He was 100% right. If you don't see it, your brains left your body.

You claim, his sources are bullshit, so burden on you, to prove, that his sources are wrong.

So let the mods know, about your sources.
And we all, can call out Endymion on his bullshit.
Until then, you are getting honourable 🤡 badge.

He's the one claiming to have insider sources across the globe, he's the one who needs to prove his credentials lmfao.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?
