Dragon Age: The Veilguard's launch has already made it EA's biggest ever single-player game on Steam, topping the charts and beating out the concurrents for 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

At the time of publication, Dragon Age: The Veilguard's peak was about 70,414 concurrents, putting it just outside the top 10 most played games on the platform with mostly positive reviews. It sits one spot ahead of Baldur's Gate 3, which continues to enjoy ongoing success thanks to the introduction of mods and other new features. EA previous high watermark was Jedi Survivor, which managed an all-time peak of 67,855.

Not exactly a great number. Considering EA has only been back on Steam what 4-5 years?

I think EA would be expecting alot more from this title

Compare the launch day data with the random daily user count of a one year old game.

Kind of amazing how it landed at the precise number where it can be claimed as a big victory, while in fact almost certainly being a disappointment that will have trouble to even recoup its dev and marketing budget.

Wouldn't call 70k as a big victory
My rough estimate is that launch month sales are x8-x10 of peak numbers and 500-700k is kinda meh for AAA

Holy shit you're all over these threads. Are you okay? You are as bad as some of the people on the other site just in the complete opposite direction, did Dragon Age hurt your feelings? Maybe log off the computer for a bit and touch some grass :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 
I trust steam user reviews more than any press scores.
If the user consensus ends up remaining good, then I'll buy and play the game.
But for a 50 hr+ rpg, the majority who reviewed at 2 hours don't offer much insight at this moment. Waiting for more reasonable impressions over couple days.

I've played it enough to know it's a good game. Unless it goes to absolute dog shit levels further which I doubt, it will remain a good game in my eyes which is all it matters. Its not a 10 or anything, but a 7.5/8.

Weird to see you stanning for it so much to the point where you are proclaiming it successful when the numbers do not really indicate that assumption.

The hate for it on gaf is far more unwarranted than me trying to defend it. Common sense. Steam reviews, which are heavily antiwoke, speak for themselves if you dont trust my word for it.

Even if the game had 99% overwhelmingly positive, that would say nothing about its success, if we are talking about commercial success that is.

Fair enough, ill probably pick it up on sale at some point if sentiment stay like that.

But this is a 50-60 hour RPG, Skillups review (i have a similar taste) has me cautious as he said it gets repetitive as hell and he checked out around the 20 hour mark, and was thoughly bored by hour 50.

Let us know how you get on please:)

Every recent Assassin's Creed game is a 9/10 for their first ten hours, before they all inevitably become repetitive braindead slogs. Not saying DA VG will necessarily be the same, but for a 50+ hours long RPG, I definitely will only value impressions/opinions from those who have finish a major portion of the game.

The article says otherwise, as well as the fact that it was sitting on top 3 and was also number 1 on sales globally on steam. But I suppose when its a game u dont want to like it could be fake but when its a game u want to like its real huh? :)

Dragon Age: Veilguard |OT| 'Oof': A non-buynary return to form

I'm actually hyped about this because of that fucking hair now. Look how hollow my beliefs are when I see something I want, lol. Anyway, so maybe it's gonna be good in some shexy ways then I suppose. I'm probably fucking in. Damnit. I'm so torn but I shit you not that hair right there, it...

These were my first impressions, but will see how it goes.

Doesn't change the fact that a DEI game knocked Blops6 to #2 after a week.

That's almost like Gaf's worst nightmare.

COD usually stays in the charts all year, I dont think it has anything to worry about, not after that record engagement over the weekend ;)

Lets see where it is in a month on both the charts. I suspect it'll be forgotten, or on gamepass.

I fully expect Dragon Age to be forgotten quickly, because I've always considered it a B-tier franchise to begin with.
So that's to be expected.

What's not to be expected is that a DEI game pushed a new COD to #2 a week after it released, especially going by Gaf petty anti-Woke whining.

It's just funny to see.

Dragon Age is B tier? what are you talking about? Inquisition sold over 10 million copies.

More than Mass Effect 1-3 combined.

Mass effect is widely regarded as one of the greatest space RPG's of all time.

One of sonys main studios just farted out Concord. At least it had great production values though right?

That doesn't mean it can't be a B-tier game. Also, that's mainly from PC and Xbox audiences, who are used to either unoptimized games or mediocrity, so standards are probably lower when it comes to production-value.

Firewalk was a main studio?

Besides, despite all it's flaws, Concord IQ was good, performance was outstanding and animations were god-tier, so yeah, even Sony's biggest flop from a new no-name studio can make those great games you mentioned look like B-tier in certain aspects.

But this was about Dragon Age sales.

Yep only the ccu of dragon age is sus. That black myth game, total legit and legal everyone everywhere loves it. Not true that 90% players are from a certain Asian country.

The article says nothing we don't already know. It has 3K higher number than Jedi Survivor. I never said that, or its current placement in steam chart was "fake". All I am saying is that despite this placement, the concurrent peak number is low and unlikely for the game to recoup its budget anytime soon, if ever. I am basing that assumption on comparison with other games, e.g. Dragon's Dogma having 220K CCU and only selling 3 million few months after launch.

And again, maybe the sales will still pick up and number goes higher during the weekend, but I think even with 100K CCU it is unlikely to be very profitable.

Btw I rented that game via EA play and played it for few hours already. So far I would give it 7, I do not find it terrible, but not great either.
 
This needs to be a failure otherwise it will do huge damage to gaming. Expect another decade of woke and DEI shit if it succeeds.
