Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Dr1f7]

this is so funny
i really needed rook to say "is she gonna eat her ham?" and wave his hands up like costanza tho

of course they'd lose soros black rock bucks if they did something like that

How's it doing in Saudi Arabia, or one of those countries?

Muslims don't like Tolkien/D&D type fantasy, its sinful superstition.
But if you think Activision has to pay for Call of Duty to be a top seller on release, or that the new Dragon Age game won't be in the top 10 on release, you are out of touch.
Give it a few days, see if it stays there or drops out. Days in the top 10 will measure its success, not actually appearing there. Of course it would appear for a bit.

It's not available there:

>Anecdotally, fans have reported the game not being available in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and India. According to SteamDB data, the game is also not listed in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Russia.

It could be that they're paying steam to up the rankings. I don't have anything concrete of course, but it is weird, high rankings in every region where the game can be bought is strange.

For official muslim country, Turkey is Number 10

I'm so hyped.

I mentioned this a few months ago, but you can tell how mentally handicapped the writers are just by looking at the faction Shadow Dragons.

They are anti-Tevinter and anti-slavery. Why are they named after dragons, the ancient gods to which Tevinter sacrificed millions of slaves?

You wouldn't name an anti-nazi group Shadow Hitlers, would you?

I imagine they have to constantly explain to everyone that they are not an evil organization

Final boss + bad ending

I like this moment where gamers and gaymers are holding their collective breath in unision and wondering who will drop dead first.

 

[Cryomancer]

eople here usually aren't big on CRPGs. I don't know a single person who plays this kind of game here

Probably because less than 2% of Brazilians can read/write in "broken English".

Yep. Anyway, can I at least join Tevinter in this shit game? I always wanted to join a magocracy.

Who is this final boss? Why is he a horned demon? That's not really what Dragon Age is supposed to look like.

He ?

100 push ups, immediately.

 

[Decado]

It just looks so fucking generic. Every button press is a blinding flash of ridiculous color. Why bother having enemy HP bars with actual numbers if you can kill everything in two hits? Jesus Christ. This is what they spent 10 years on?

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

That PS5 framerate is chugging

 

[Asymptotics]

Who is this final boss? Why is he a horned demon?

The important question is - is he non-binary?

You cannot be "evil" in this game. Player characters can no longer be blood mages. You can barely be rude to your companions.

this entire "pulling a barve" is so uncool. from lingo to idea behind it. its what saturday-morning cartoon pirates would do, not "dark fantasy" pirates. really reinforces the idea the game was written like its target audience are children.

The first hour playing Origins made it seem like it was going to be fairly traditional fantasy fare. You get ousted from your home and join a knightly order led by a man with a fatherly demeanour called Duncan. This Duncan sends you on quest to collect ingredients for the initiation ceremony. Standard stuff, right? Except then he tells you to drink poison. The first member of your party dies outright, and Duncan stabs the other to death after he refuses to drink.

Pretty much encapsulates Origins for me. It was a bleak setting that reinforced the desperation of fighting a tide threatening to sweep over the world, and some damned uncomfortable things needed to be done with mankind's survival in mind. Origins was Bioware's first swords and sorcery game without the Dungeons & Dragons licence, so it needed to differentiate itself and not be labelled as a lesser D&D clone. Now the series just looks like another victim of Marvel's success.

Bulgaria has it at #2 too
Then again, half the Top 10 is free or deeply discounted games.

More like, Slavs confirmed white. Nutmeg in full panic mode.

'are you non binary yes/no (you must choose)'

The irony. Basically, this:

Stalin would send these degenerates to the Gulag, which is based.

Predominantly Muslim country in Asia - Number 2. Same as just about anywhere.

Not sure why anyone is surprised, there's nothing else out. Black Ops is the only real competition. Steam deck is 5 and Sons of the Forest is 6. Not exactly an electric time in the industry.
