According to BioWare, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the first entry in the series where 'the combat's actually fun'

This game will be even worst than that pile of shit that Inquisition was.
Bioware is long gone.

I dont get this, the action RPG formula was tried many times with this genre and every single time its below average, it just doesnt seem to play well unless the game has guns.
So why bother? just make it turn-based, its hilarious to me that ARPG are more prevalent in the west despite being much inferior to the Japanese RPGs, meanwhile the opposite is true, Turn-based in the west is so much better than the one in Japan, yet for some reason the trend is the opposite, turn-based for Japan and Action for the west. lol
Anyway, action combat works best for a game like Elden Ring, a lone wolf solo game with focus on combat, for games with party system i much prefer turnbased its richer for RPG mechanics and its better to implement.
Bioware will most likely end up delivering mediocre or decent at best action combat and the rpg mechanics are probably going to suffer for it.
Well, its coming soon, so we will see.

I like how they are so proud of the fact this game has nudity meanwhile any asian game has sexy outfit that show little skin suddenly the game gets accused be responsible for killing woman.

Remember when the Wu Tang used to put on gigs but none of the main guys were there? Instead of Method Man or GZA there’d be some random dudes you’d never heard of. This is the exact same shit. The Bioware team who made DAO are long gone

I was about to say, this sounds awfully familiar. Then Dragon Age 2 came out and had combat that was more spammy and less fun than an early Dynasty Warriors game.

Man usually when it’s a new team making a sequel to a beloved franchise they all talk about how much they loooooved the previous ones, and how hard they’re trying to respect the lore and everything.
But for Veilguard they went full retard “everyone is canonically pansexual”, “first DA game with full frontal nudity”, “the gameplay is actually fun unlike the previous ones”

You can choose pronouns, you can choose who to tell what your preferred gender is, you can choose what genitalia your character has and the game will have full nudity.
What more do you need in an RPG? It's literally how a certain tiny but extremely vocal group roleplays in real life.

Considering such talk is unlikely to go over well with fans of the previous games, it lends credence to the idea that this outing is for a different audience. It's kind of sad, really, for people who have waited so long for a new DA game.

It's the same as in Suicide Squad, a bunch of tourists hired to destroy the legacy of a beloved IP.
These people can't get enough hate.
You’re probably overlooking it or put it on ignore accidentally.

I tried it for ten minutes back in 2015 and quit because of the horrendous character creator.

Inquisition is an awful by the numbers pos game, its horrifying that it is any relation to the sublime DA:O
That was my first thought too.
So basically they're trying to tell us they think the old guard at Bioware sucked at making games.....and that this game will be more fun then the old games and have lots of penises floating around (the whole nudity thing). That's their selling point so far. Way to go guys.
As someone who loves BioWare's output from the Mass Effect days, they are a hilarious company to watch these days. It's quite sad watching them implode. The people running the ship there are beyond stupid.

Who cares about that when you can color your hair purple, select gender A or B, and adjust the size of the penis on either.

I don’t particularly like it and still have it on Steam and Xbox as it’s dirt cheap during sales and Xbox has FPS boost which is why I got it over PS4 version.That DA Inquisition GOTY edition is like 4 bucks on PSN and I kinda just wanna hate play it like most of you do with all of that marvel and star wars television garbage
Mind you I always play BioWare and Bethesda games on PC so don’t even know why I did that. In any case, it’s with the $4 to just mess around wit.m h the systems (just make sure to get the heck out of Hinterlans, lol).
It’s still doesn’t hold the candle to DAO though.

The ability to mod out the wait times for missions to complete (war table) seems like a real plus for the PC version.

Origins combat was excellent.
Can’t imagine them surpassing that with whatever they have right now.

Don’t worry, they will probably be euthanized after Veilguard flops

Now I understand the hate for Veilguard better. They better not do Mass Effect dirty.
I am looking forward to this cartoony action adventure though, glad I had not played any previous game so lucky? me.
The art style makes it easy to make great vistas for an adventure looks extra pretty. Lets hope everyone would hate this game so it will go on discount faster

It was the best of all the DA games.
