Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

Compiling shaders is gonna take about 10 minutes apparently

The power of tranny programing exceeds all conventions of programming.

"It's a good game, but it's also not!"

Great stuff as always, Cohh.

He says it's "fine" with the implication that it's not great, but there is stuff about it he likes. I find that to be the case with many games tbh, nothing unique or unusual.

Oh, also - if any of you poor souls suffered through Inquisition, can you please tell me wtf happened to Morrigan? Did she get a lobotomy between games? Last I saw she was a sass-talking bitchqueen who's defining characteristic was contempt, and now all of a sudden she shows up like "Yes, the greater good is important. How can I be of the greatest possible help to you merry band of heroes?"

Like did Leliana do some sort of skin-stealing magic somewhere in Inquisition after I shook free of sunk cost fallacy and junked that game?

Veilguard has not even managed to beat Divinity: Original Sin 2's all-time peak on Steam so far.

I imagine most people will play this on consoles, tho. The combat is clearly developed with controllers in mind.

RockPaperShotgun reviewer is calling it a "chatty action-adventure game", not a great compliment by any stretch of the imagination.

The art design choices are bad the dialogue is really bad. One can easily tell this game was produced in a pussy work environment where nobody gets called out for doing a shit job.

But what does that mean? I had Subway for lunch, that was fine.

eople talk about you as friends and all I can think is ".... I just met you people?" Your dude says "Well, we have to do something, because no one will!" (direct quote) My dude is a grey warden, I know that whatsapp ran a little slower back then but maybe put a word to your buddies? I could go on.

Do please go on, I'd like more examples of this game's failings in the writing department.

That's why our boy in the review says "feels." He knows something is wrong, he's just lacking that little critical nub to get past the presentation and grasp that the core is profoundly hollow.

Well the issue I have is that the user lists more negatives than positives but still recommends it. I understand not being able to articulate yourself when it comes to critique. Not everyone is able to articulate themselves in a manner that befits proper dialogue especially on the merits of whether or not a product is good enough to recommend. Some people are only limited in the mental facilitates that the good Lord has blessed them with. However, when you list more negatives than positive, well, I call suspect.

Normie Cohh complaining (very well articulated) about the writing in Vileguard:

It is amazing how pathetic all those people are. Imagine being like 50 year old and still your main job is playing games lol. All he does is whine about how bad writing is and trying to be inoffensive to the trannies. "Ohhhh who cares what the message is,it is important how bad the writing is hohoho" .Fuck i am 37 years old and feel a bit sad about how much time i had wasted on games in me life,now in retrospect. Can't imagine how miserable all those old pathetic people are.

I'm really curious how they're going to translate this game into languages without gendered pronouns like Chinese or Estonian.

The whole premise of introducing these made-up words to other localisations is both disturbing and egregious. Just one facet of the ongoing neo-marxist cultural assault, but still. Are you going to let a bunch of canadians and californians lecture about your language's inferiority?

I remember when people was angry on Bioware because you needed romance Zevran to learn ability :D

No, you just need to increase his disposition enough. Approval of about 50 should do, maybe even less.

Heh. As soon as you respond with some reason and logic, they draw the nazi card and ignore you. Shows you what they're really afraid of. It's about manipulating everyone else into not taking you seriously when your points have the potential to bring the whole house of cards down. That's when you become the dangerous dissident, and right now outside of UK there's not yet a chance that someone might knock on your door for this. But maybe eventually if they have their way. DEI is religion and heresy is intolerated.

What the fuck is this review?

Squirming is what it is. He can't tear DAtVG a new one because he doesn't want to become an unperson, but his personal integrity (what's left of it) demands some honesty. You need to increase your skill of reading between the lines. It's of vital importance these days when everything is politicised. To think that some actually partake in advertising this turd out of fear of being labeled nazis. That's one possible angle for the shills to use, the very same one we've seen before with the whole Pride thing. Not waving the flag automatically makes you a raving bigot.

Someone should make a "Tinder-filter ON" meme about this smudgy look.

It might actually work if the artstyle was really competent and the body proportions more adult-like. Even then, I'm unsure if it would suit a darker premise at all.

Anyone posted this?

Yes. The whole gist of the scene seems to be that Varric tries to improve your moral by telling you to go look at the hero the world needs - yourself. The real reason this miniquest even exists is that it afforded yet another chance to inject some modern identity bullshit into the game.

63k right now. Almost made it to the peak again, and it's not even evening.

And it flatlined again. Probably not going to get 80k until the weekend.

Yesterday, I really expected it to rise around 7PM EST, and that didn't happen.

Halloween is not a typical weeknight in the US. I expect the real peak will happen this weekend.

There was nothing more to say on what you wrote because it was literally nothing more than a word salad trying to sound profound. No substance to even debate. It was that retarded. Like most on here. Big board of dummies looking thinking they’re edgy for preaching Jewish religion and values as if that’s somehow edgy. It isn’t. It just shows how desperate and stupid you are.

You can't see the difference between another person's words and your interpretation of their words. That makes you an idiot. But if words about one issue trigger a number of others different thoughts in you, obviously buzzing under your skull, it makes you a schizo.

Not everyone, just quite a few. Most? Maybe. Just observations based on numerous interactions with retards here. Did it bother you personally? You’re probably one of these retards. Sorry, but maybe there’s still hope for you. Stop being an idiot

Take own pill.

He's probably making more money than you or I have ever seen in our lives.
I can't stand him but streaming games is pretty profitable otherwise he wouldn't have been doing it for so long.
There are some easy jobs out there. And honestly I'd do it too. Better than having to work with people.

70k in the game right now. The game might peak today.

Ok, so just finished with the character creator. It's excellent, aside from basically 97% of all the hairstyles making the character look incredibly gay. It is interesting getting to pick a faction to join. I tried to make the most manly dwarf I could.

Dunno if I quite succeeded there but you be the judge I guess. I'm also very impressed by the settings available (e.g. FOV slider) and the ultrawide support.

I'm sure it'll surpass the janky Dark Souls 2, lol.

Here is second (!) article on PC Gamer complaining about the writing in Vileguard. This is hilarious, I didn't expect western journalists to join in on the dunking tbh

Did anyone died yet? Overdose from playing this awesome game?

Finished downloading, installing now

The installation for this game usually gets stuck at 42%.

Game's introduction to my character is very typical for modern gaming. I get to watch a cutscene where my character does all this cool shit including fighting 4 goons at once and then headbutting this female barkeeper in the face. I do not get to control my character through any of this. I do, though, get to pick to have the fight in the first place, rather than talk it out, so that was nice. Still, I would like to have actually fought this fight myself.
