Dragon Age Are You Going To Play Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

[whydoibother]

DA:O was just OK. Maybe decent, but still not compelling enough to try later additions to the franchise.

NPC answer, part of the false religion on the Codex pretending its cool to hate and you are prestigious for vice signaling.

Based on everything I've seen and read, DA:O was the high-point of the series anyway.

True, which is exactly why it DID make you want to see the rest. Because it was good, and you hoped the next one will be even better.

How naive we were.

As I said before: The series became so bad it retroactively ruined Origins.

Why was a game that consisted of ~30 hours of trash mobs good? lol

In fairness, Dragon Age 2 throws the player into combat quite early. Showing off its new arcade stylings, with weightless weapons and lack of meaningful impact in both spells and melee. I quit the game quite quickly and didn't pick it up again until before Inquisition came out.

I quit that game in ~10-15 hours because of the trash mobs, but even I could see it was way less trash than DAO

I don't hate DA:O. I think it just lacked something. It was obviously a high-effort project and has many virtues. For me though, the negatives wore it down from something great to something decent. Cooldown combat felt very MMO, which I didn't appreciate. Non-mage classes were boring. The LotR wannabe plot was uninspired and tired. I didn't care for half of the companions, which are a major focus of the game. I don't knock people for liking DAO at all. I just found it a bit wanting.

What MMO plays like DA:O? Are you sure you aren't confusing it with Inquisition?

Could've gone from a 5 to a 7 just with a semblance of encounter design.

I do, that game sucked ass. My opinion anyone who completed DAO either has severe mental problems, or nothing to do.

That's just plain wrong

One is a 50h game, the other easily takes 90h to complete.

 

[Jvegi]

No.

I'll watch the sex scenes though.

Well I completed neither

DAII was fairly engaging in the first act. It's only after you finish it and go into act two that you realize "oh... this is going to be the whole game... the same city and its environs, reused ad nauseum" that you would want to stop playing. Kind of glad that I suffered through to the end, because now this is not on my "games I never finished" list, and I have no reason to ever be tempted to go back to it.

Cisquisition I remember hating at least as early as the boss fight with the pride demon in the tutorial section. Everything felt wrong, cheap, lazy and impoverished.

 

[Zanthia]

I get a feeling, judging by the main threads popularity, that there are a good deal of closet Veilguard hopefuls

That doesn't mean players. I was hopeful for years and years that the series would somehow return to form and that's both why I'm not going to play Veilguard & why I'm going to laugh and cry about how bad it looks. I forced myself to finish Inquisition for the story, and this doesn't even have that going for it. Plus, I refuse to play games with gender shit in the character creator (I regret buying Inquisition that had it in NPCs)

Origins is still a fun game. I think it's my favourite rtwp combat. I wish they'd built on it and the party tactics instead of stripping it all away.

 

[AlwaysBrotoMen]

All hypocrites will play the game irrespective of criticism

Look man, it's your choice after all, no one's judging you.

[Alter Sack]

Played Dragon Age Origins after a long rpg dry spell. It was ok.

Played Dragon Age 2 for three hours and quit because of the numerous enemy trash mobs and the lazy dungeon/level recycling.

Pirated Dragon Age 3 and quit disgusted after 10 minutes and noticing that even the top down/isometric view was now shit and you basically couldn't even control your group anymore.

I won't even bother to pirate Veilguard and pollute my hard drive with it.

 

[NecroLord]

Ofc, I'm gonna pirate it and try it. I give every game a fair chance.

Chad moment.
Fuck having to pay 100 bucks for the latest AAA slop, it's like those fucks are BEGGING the people to pirate their shit.
For half that money I could buy other quality games and indie stuff.

I played all the previous games. I think DA:O was pretty good, both DA2 and DA:I very meh for different reasons. Btw I'd say there's a lot of dishonest trashing of DA:I around here. The main problem is that the first big area is dreadfully boring but for people on a spectrum it's a must to clear it all, with all those optional mmo-tier quests. If one gets past that instead it gets better somewhat. Still not a good game though, very unfocused, annoying UI, annoying mechanics, wokery shit hit hard already in that one too.

That said, after seeing trailers for Veilguard there's no way I'll be playing that. Even for free and just to see first hand how bad that shit is. But that doesn't mean the game won't be able to entertain, can't wait to see cringe compilations, yeah.

 

[Fedora Master]

I am so so sad that Gigglesquee like a Pig lost all its images, because it was absolutely 100% the best and most comprehensive proof why DA2 was complete and utter garbage that should have seen certain people put up against the wall.
