That actually sounds like an interesting perspective I would love to hear about.

I can't imagine someone whose first Dragon Age game is Veilguard like what do you mean you dont know what Circles of Magi are. what do you mean you don't know about allienages or the rite of tranquility??

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@MichaelBryanVO I think after a few playthroughs this will be my favorite game in the series.

everything except reading a comicbook….

@Cris10899 @CDR_Sock_USS @alessio59628747 @lauramontilyet There are plenty of good critical reviews made by people who didn’t break their NDAS and had their footage be used by culture warrior clowns.

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@reddrakonmo Is this about the Harding thing? I’m so mad such a cute scene was spoiled for me, but it’s everything I want a romance with her.

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@alessio59628747 @lauramontilyet Still his footage and his responsibility

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@unifadewalker ….mines not coming till the fourth

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

Pretty good game but forgotten realms as a setting sucks

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

Nah fuck off.

[MrMattyPlays @G27Status]

I think it goes without saying, but today has been an extremely hard day. I really appreciate your patience as I looked into things.

First off, I would like to apologize to everyone at BioWare and EA. I have already reached out to them to let them know the truth. We already have plans to sit down and have a conversation about it. That is my gameplay. It was never my intention for clips of Dragon Age to get released ahead of the embargo lifting. I had shared these two clips of the game with an editor of mine. It is to my understanding that these clips were then taken, shared again, and went down the chain to someone far removed from the both of us who then posted them claiming to be associated with me. So, yes, the clips are mine. If BioWare, EA, or any other game company chooses to not work with me over this, then I fully understand and accept that. If you, the viewers of my content, choose not to trust me because you deem me irresponsible with the privilege I was given as a game reviewer, I also fully understand and accept that.

With that said, it’s extremely important for me to firmly shut down one element of this narrative going around about me. Whoever shared these clips on X with the attached hateful comments and replies is NOT me. I have no clue who runs that account. They are most definitely not my friend and they stand against everything I believe in. I am only speculating, but I think whoever took my game footage and tweeted it as if they were connected with me was quite deliberate as it’s an easy way to paint me in a bad light. Beyond any guesses I may have, I would never leak my own footage on an alt account and then use that exact same footage in my review. Said account no longer exists and it is my understanding that it is because it was reported multiple times following the public ridicule it rightfully received. There's no room for that type of hate.

It also needs to be said that I have not deleted any comments on my review. I believe as a consumer of media, you have a right to call someone out on bullshit or say what you feel. I do have preset words for my channel filters that fall under racist, homophobic, etc. terms that automatically get caught by YouTube’s moderation system, but that’s it. I know I can’t convince each and every one of you, but I do think you all deserve an explanation. At the end of the day, my circle of trust was breached and it was my fault for sending a clip in the first place.

I’m deeply disheartened by the amount of people who believed that this Twitter account was me. I don’t expect blind loyalty yet it hurts to see just how quickly I was thrown under the bus. The sad reality of it all is the damage is done and many people have made up their minds about me today.

Since I have started covering this game, many angry opinions have fallen in my lap. When I played the preview, I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a chance to interview the game’s director, Corinne Busche. On that video, people were sending hate my way because they wanted their opinions heard. Now, I have put out my honest and objective review and people are still unhappy with my personal opinion. It has always been my goal to deliver fair, honest coverage of video games and elevate the conversation, not fan the flames. I’m deeply sad that my clips have played into the detraction of a game that, as stated in my review, others may enjoy more than me. Looking at the OpenCritic score, I’m glad to see it is that way. It’s been a tough cycle for the folks at BioWare and to know I played a part in the pain of the developer who made my favorite games ever is a regret that I don’t think I will ever live down, even if people choose to forgive me.

I want to thank my wife, my best friends, and my LSM family who hung with me and didn’t lose faith in me. The statements made about my character today have broken my heart into a million pieces. I don’t say that so you feel bad for me, I just feel it’s important to give my love to those who willingly stood by me in the face of all this. I know it wasn’t easy having your ethics in question just by being in my vicinity.

Lastly, I am not going anywhere. I will be continuing to make content about games across MrMattyPlays, Retro Rebound, and Defining Duke. I will also continue to pretend I know what I’m talking about when it comes to movies on Retro Rewind. Hopefully, I will see you there. If not, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a good rest of your day.

Stay sexy, stay active,

Matty

Not surprised, always got bad vibes from him.

[Hagatha Christie • 3 Trash Gnomes in a Coat🧙‍♀️ @LizagnaNoodles]

Hey cutie this you? From the leak video being spread by you or one of your “friends”?

Shame other companies saw who they trusted their content either. Couldn’t give it 24 hours to just post a critical review? You bad to show your phobe friend? Or was it you directly? #DragonAge

[Kels⛰️ @LuaPuhiana]

We need more fantasy involving African, Polynesian and Caribbean mythology and folklore.

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@AHalfNickel Weren’t people whining about how inquisition was too big?

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@noriathereader I am. I need it now!!!!!

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

“But I think they will be split on the new combat and artstyle”

Gee that’s something that’s never happened in the DA fandom before…

BTW you forgot to mention “tone” we really been having discourse in the fandom over that.

[Grummz @Grummz]

I always assumed Dragon Age Veilguard will do well in sales. There are so many DA fans.

But I think they will be very split on the new combat and art style. That could go very poorly.

Doesn't have to "fail" to be bad. It will probably just underperform compared to the whole series, and that will raise serious questions at Bioware.

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

How do look at peak “Goth Barbarian Queen” character design and go “lol ugly and masculine”

[Jon Del Arroz | Sci-Fi And Fantasy @jondelarroz]

Absolute Wonder Woman was decent, but i hate these modern art styles where they intentionally make women look ugly and masculine.

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

My favorite transformation in the series. Mainly thanks to the games.

[Kyle Beuthe @Goodvibes625]

@CerberusXt I still don’t understand how it’s any different from the other games. Like they’re all very quippy.

Also anyone who calls it “marvel speak” I immediately disregard their opinion because I hate that term so much.
