Some Steam reviews claim that it's horribly unoptimized, has framedrops and crashes every 10 minutes, if it even starts at all.

So even the "it's technically super-stable" articles were lying.
Game journalism is a joke. Learnt the hard lesson with cyberpunk and Jedi survivor

Brand power still matters. Concord was a "literally what?".
Don't forget that they did a whole free give away for the game plus they did bundles and what not. So god knows how many people actually bought the game. Veilguard's marketing was VERY aggressive.

I'm not sure about how often Steam reviews refresh but it's highly possible that they disabled new reviews since people started posting about the technical issues, the number's been stuck for a while now.

The only thing they fear is YOU, fellow CHUD.

Certified chud classic.


I don't get the people who expected this game to fail massively. It seems to have everything that normies like. Passable graphics, completely streamlined story, flat characters, low difficulty, total handholding, nothing controversial or offensive, Simple English Wikipedia vocabulary. Finely minced zogslop for docile goycattle.

Steam data updates in increments. It's always been this way. There is no way to pause reviews unless something very drastic (on Steam's end) has happened.

But here you go, I told Steam to hurry up and a new batch just dropped:

Reviews like this are absolute ass. It's what I would consider “positive” review bombing. But I guess that's okay.

In this review, the guy spent 0.5 hours, aka 30 min. And somehow already know it's the best ever. Sure.

Why do they treat a massive corporation as if it was their pitiful local beggar? "After all it's been through." What?

They treat these corporations as their allies, of course. Considering the current staff at Bioware, they're not entirely wrong either.

Final boss + bad ending

That's actually a very cool ending, and Solas' character seems faithful to what we've seen before. Love that oath of loyalty at the start, and the honest "sorry for this final betrayal" at the end.
Very impressed with this video, much higher quality than the other clips I've seen of the game.


This was some of the most generic superhero shit I've seen, akin to the ending of Suicide Squad 2016. The brother/sister dynamic of the two elven god villains reminds me of that. The only positive is that every lock of hair stays perfect in every cutscene.


I love how they have to include their moronic phrases into every limp insult they make, as if to make absolutely sure which team they belong to. I still haven't seen a single troon online that didn't sound like cheap A.I.

But come to think of it, that guy Trolldestroyer was probably just parodying the troon brigade.

As soon as players start reviewing it on Steam the truth will come out and people will stop being tricked into buying it.
So far the reviews are negative, but most of them cite technical issues, saying the game is good otherwise. The reviews will be positive after a patch of two.
