When the controversial video game Dragon Age: Veilguard was published, several professional video game reviewers, publishing their reviews for big-name video game publications, gave the game a 9 out of 10, several even a 10 out of 10.
Giving a video game full points, a 10 out of 10, is claiming that it's one of the best and highest-quality video games that has ever been made. A complete masterpiece that will be remembered for decades to come. A game that can be proudly listed on "best games of all time" lists for the foreseeable future, among all the other video games widely considered the greatest of all time. Video games that sold tens of millions of copies and shaped the industry and left their mark in gaming history. A video game that even 20 or 30 years from now people will be playing and talking about, and widely praised and fondly remembered.
It's extremely obvious that this is complete bollocks. Even if you completely ignore the artificial shoved-in modern-day leftist politics in the game, and just play it and judge it in a completely normal and impartial manner, there's absolutely no way this is one of the best games ever created. Not by a long, long shot. The writing is poor, the story is poor, the gameplay is passable but not great. There's absolutely nothing in the game that entices playing it, especially repeated playthroughs. And this is ignoring the fact that it's not even faithful to the franchise and the characterization of previous games in the series.
In the absolute maximum, if you are completely impartial and objective, one could give it maybe a 7 out of 10. An 8 at the very most. A relatively good and entertaining game (if we ignore all the leftist political crap), but absolutely not one of the greatest games ever made. More objectively, though, it would probably be more like a 5 out of 10.
Anyway, regardless of whether you objectively and impartially were willing to give it a 3 out of 10, or an 8 out of 10, it's very clear that those 10-out-of-10's given by several professional game critics writing for major gaming publications are not being objective nor impartial.
It's quite clear that they have been either bribed to give that score, or they are political activists trying to push a political agenda. Possibly both.
In either case, it's quite clear that video game journalism is completely corrupted. They are not giving you a professional, high-standard, objective impartial review of the game. They are trying to push a political agenda. They are deliberately praising and inflating the scores of games that they think support their political ideology, while giving low scores to games that they believe go against it and which panders to "gamers", the group that they hate the most.
The fact is that current video game journalism has been completely overtaken by far-leftist political activists who couldn't give a flying fuck about video games or the people playing those games, and are more interested in promoting their personal political beliefs. Modern video game journalism has become completely corrupted. And this particular game, and its scores, demonstrate this perfectly.
Veilguard will most certainly not be included in any "best games of all time" lists ten years from now. Heck, a year from now it will be completely forgotten, at most only remembered by those who will be laughing at it and mocking it. It's not one of the greatest games of all time by any possible objective metric. Any professional critic who gave it a 10, or even a 9, out of 10 should be ashamed of themselves.
