Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[damager]

Even the positive reviews focus on what the negative reviews say not on what they actually like so much about it

From the first two positive reviews:

A lot of the negative reviews I've seen of this game focus on things that they personally wanted

Unlike many of the 0 and 1 star reviews on here, I have actually played the game

Seething community managers on damage control!

The game is a solid 8.5 to 9, it is a lot of fun to play and looks gorgeous. It is hands down my favorite game that's released this year. I gave it a ten due to the review bombing, it deserves an 8.5 and that is mostly due to the fact that I am not a huge fan of the character models for the main character, but It doesn't bother me enough to penalize the game more than a half point. If you are on the fence for buying this game, buy it, you will not be disappointed, it's a great game.

"Review bombing" eh?

 

[damager]

"All woke content is complitely skippable and it's not much of it. Every aspect of the game is on really high level - music by Hans Zimmer for example." LMAO

But than the userscores and real reviews will come in

They already have:

It gets better though

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1845910/reviews/

I kept scrolling through steam reviews and it's one Not Recommended after another, almost no "Recommended" ones at all. Where's the place where you can look at an aggregate on Steam?

 

[Reinhardt]

the writer also thinks doing 10 press ups is a punishment (which tells you a lot).

it is. if you only have one leg.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Flanderization of the franchise.

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm a bit confused

What the fuck is up with that, BioWare?

when creature says something dumb and offensive, like "i'm non-binary!" it got bitchslapped and ordered to barve. best part? it not learning at all.

 

[Warrax]

The game was released 60 hours ago and this person has 46.5 hours played.

When you stop to think about it this whole shitshow is completely bizarre.

Everyone in their life probably has experienced one or more shitty days where you commit the smallest of mistakes at work, college, school, home or wherever and then you get yelled, dunked on, shitting upon and treated like a piece of turd for it. Often undeservedly or just not bad enough to warrant it.

Then you have these guys. They take a studio, an IP, a thing which was profitable for years if not for decades. And suddenly it goes K-BOOM. What took years to finish goes down in the inglorious midst of Youtuber and Influencer memes and funny moments compilations. Could you imagine if this was done by the average joe? Fucking something up beyond salvation? And the worst part is that is no honest mistakes, but borderline self-sabotage and narcissism.

These people could destroy the sympathy of the kindest person in the planet.

We've arrived at the final stage of cope. The "I like it, don't care" stage.

On a main subreddit that was running hardcore defense for the game.

Only a matter of time before low sodium dragon age.

You're watching a fandom twist in on itself. And honestly, it's kind of sad. They just didn't want the good times to end.

BioWare was one of the giants of the genre, like it or not.

At this far removed corner from BioWare's best times, it's charitable to pour one out for the homies. The BioWere we knew is long gone, and has been for some time. Remember it as it was, not as it is.

Fucking up Mass Effect

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

Here's that weakend peak some of you goyim were talking about.

Veilguard still hasn't surpassed Metaphor. Jesus christ! EA's AAA behemoth getting outperformed by niche weeb shit... lmao

 

[Xorazm]

The writers seem to have picked up the detail that Antiva has no standing army but interpreted it as “Antiva has no army.” That’s not the same thing. No standing army means they rely on militias, mercenaries, and citizen-soldiers. Instead, a Qunari splinter group waltzed right in.

They picked it up, only to wipe their asses with it. They state that no-one dares invade Antiva, and magically, the moment we enter it - it's invaded.

This is from a codex entry in-game:

Wouldn't the really simple solution be to invade Antiva and just put the entire population to sword? Assassins and terrorists rely on asymmetric warfare and hiding amongst the unarmed populace. If the city is sacked, and everyone including you is killed, there's no one really to blend in with.

FWIW, the Crows were already established in lore as absolute monsters, people who bought child slaves to train and straight murdered the ones who weren't good enough.

Now in Veilguard, because everything is kiddie-pool Disneytown, they're just chucklebuddies, part of your magical friendship gang, because introducing anything dark or challenging is inimical to the tone.

There are no adult themes. The best you get - and maybe the worst the writing team can imagine - is teenage angst.

I dont think Veilguard is even in the top 10 biggest Steam releases of this year. At least in terms of peak player count.

 

[Harthwain]

So, you have these super dramatic scenes between Lucanis and his demon, but then you’re supposed to role-play as if you don’t know what’s going on. …Why? Who thought this was a good idea?

This is interesting, because it sort-of captures the tabletop situation in which the player has more knowledge than the character. But they probably did this to not confuse the player, because they think players are stupid.

I chose the Grey Warden background, hoping it would offer interesting dialogue options, especially with the return of Darkspawn. But in the eight hours I’ve played (according to EA’s app), I’ve had only one meaningful choice tied to this background and one dialogue line to pick myself. The rest of the time, it’s been thoughts as the protagonist arranges relics in their room and… not much else.

That's peak RPG experience, yeah. Had the exact same situation in Rogue Trader - as soon as you are out of the tutorial your background is meaningless.

This shit is so...uninspiring. I will complete it, eventually, on a story difficulty, because enduring it on normal is an insult to the concept of computer gaming, but at some point I got so tired from crappy writing and mobile one-button-smashing that I switched to playing Battle Brothers.

Why even subject yourself to this by continuing instead of dropping it?

It is questionable how feasible it is to exterminate an entire population of the large area (I am talking more than just a single city), especially in quasi-medieval times. Hiding in the difficult to search countryside and bleeding enemy logistically is another thing that comes to mind.

TBH Origins strait up ripped off combat from WoW

How? The way I see it they tried to mimick Baldur's Gate's party isometric combat in 3D, only with a smaller team at your disposal (4 total, including the main character). It was the Inquisition where they managed to turn it into an MMO-like mashup of an isometric AND an action game, resulting in an abomination.

Why do some people need others to approve the thing they're consuming in order to enjoy that thing?

Because they are insecure.

At this far removed corner from BioWare's best times, it's charitable to pour one out for the homies. The BioWere we knew is long gone, and has been for some time. Remember it as it was, not as it is.

It was indeed LONG gone. Origins was their twillight for me, and I am probably being charitable here.

Now in Veilguard, because everything is kiddie-pool Disneytown, they're just chucklebuddies, part of your magical friendship gang, because introducing anything dark or challenging is inimical to the tone.

That's ironic, considering how grimdark Dragon Age: Origins tried to be.

 

[Gerrard]

Helldivers 2 peaked at 460K and it sold around 6-7 million on PC, but obviously not in the first 2 weeks. Space Marine 2 has 110K reviews. With 10K reviews (especially considering the rabid trannies) I wouldn't even give this turd 1 million copies sold.

Those people are doing the same thing to civilization as a whole.

 

[Gahbreeil]

BG3 was total crap besides graphics and combat

Vincke, hire me or I'll cry over BG3 raising sociopaths.

 

[Mauman]

Origins combat == World of Warcraft? What?

How does one even get to such a comparison?

 

[Konjad]

I'm still adding you to the list.

1. Wrong_Carlo
2. Honkweebnig/Heroin Liberator
3. Rougay, probably
4. Yosharian
5. sebas
6. Ryzer
7. Assymptotics

Is this the list of people who play this turd? Why am I not surprised Ryzer is in it, lmao. He tried to convince me to play this garbage, and when I said I'm replaying Baldur's Gate instead he went on how bad it was, then I mentioned my party (Safana, Kagain, Edwin, Shar-Teel, Viconia) and dude was criticizing me for playing the degenerate Enhanced Edition (while I'm playing the original version) because he had no idea about companions in the original BG and even misspelled Kagain as Korgan.

Listen here you little unpaid shill belgian cocksleeve. Stating facts is not crying. If the game would have any good writing it would get credit for it. So stop using the forum to live out your big belgian stud ball fantasies.

 

[Space Satan]

Why even subject yourself to this by continuing instead of dropping it?

Why are we constantly touching an aching tooth with our tongues, knowing touching it will bring pain?
I will complete it out of respect for Origins, just to complete it and forget about it.

 

[Drakortha]

Edit. Oh I read that wrong. He really thinks we would be chearing for this if the mainstream would like it.

What a complete retard

You were all cheering for BG3 and celebrating it's success and prominence in the RPG-sphere, and you're still all doing it in this thread. BG3 is the mainstreams new golden child and you're on board with that?

Who's the complete retard?

 

[damager]

Still you. I don't even know what you are talking about or why that matters. I didn't even like BG3

 

[Drakortha]

Still you. I don't even know what you are talking about or why that matters

It matters because it was Baldur's Gate. Who the fuck cares about Dragon Age? You do, apparently. Whatever the latest bandwagon is, right?

I was genuinely outraged by BG3. I look at this Dragon Age and I feel nothing. What is there to even discuss? BG3 was SHIT. Let's talk about that.
