Matches quite well with all the purple color in the game.

You honestly think that the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the reveal trailer had no impact on how they decided to portray the game in the subsequent trailers? I don’t believe you’re as stupid as you’re pretending to be. Get real.

Well they did a decent job of making it look somewhat normal
Then you hit the character create screen and decide if you want to chop off some tits or not

So funny that the usual suspects are the ones to open fire and then victimize themselves for others' opinions. The biker meme is for real in this thread.
Someone is even mentioning "reactions" when there was none up to that point. The cope is marvelous, but nothing compared to the pathetic CCU we'll be checking out fairly soon.

Why not just use the ignore feature? It's there for a reason.Also,EviLore I normally never tag you or ask you for anything, but I have a feeling that this whole woke vs anti-woke battle is going to rip apart this game's |OT| so I was wondering what your contingency plan is going to be for that thread.

lol l don't wish to have it seem like all things stated are for or against as this is a childish mindset Merely the point that Donkey made, I'm not really sure is true as genuinely those trailers show some bad guy, the larger story concept etcCool beans
Anything said about this game simply cannot be shoved into this 1 side vs another side etc.
I'm sure it did to a degree, but I don't see that they originally had any plans to NOT show the bad guy like this or any of the scenes you see here, why would they have all that in the game, but shit...not show it in the trailer about the game?
What evidence again do you have that originally, they would not show something like this?
Being different from the first trailer isn't really some wild thing, that is normally how a lot of this is done in gaming lol
So I feel of course they listen to feedback, but I don't see enough here to suggest the trailer we are seeing how, wasn't always going to be or something, the game is about the thing you see in the trailer, why would they program all of that and animate all of that and be like "ok, lets NOT show this in the trailer" lol
So their reveal trailer, like the Tanker trailer from MGS2 isn't some thing they MUST ALWAYS AND ONLY DO, that makes no fucking sense and its like you wish to make this argument that something has changed compared to what they had planned, but I don't see enough here to suggest a game called DRAGON age had zero plans to show a dragon they animated and programed.

If the entire thread is full of people battling, then I would see nothing. It also doesn't help anyone who is genuinely playing the game and wanting to look for specific info/tips or discuss the gameplay.

There better be sass and quips to back up the sheer amount of purple or no buy from me.
I demand quirky banter.
Edit: If I am able to take any character seriously, I will fucking refund this shit asap. I better see debates raging on the internet on who is the sarcastic comic relief marching to the beat of their own drum cause the punchline is they will all be the sarcastic comic relief marching to the beat of their own drum.

From what I've seen, parts are in day time, but I'm not sure if it has a day and night cycle or not.
Nothing I've looked up states it has one, so I expect it to be something that changes based on story progression

Agreed.
If it plays good and its fun, I'll pick it up next year some time. I'm ok with how it looks as normally I don't really play much games based on looks (i mean, play Bethesda games all the time lol)

No i was talking about how the combat looks, not how the graphic looks.

Looks good to me. Happy to wait for reviews and see if the wait was worth it.
What if I get this and Kingdom Come 2 and like them both? Do I have to choose a side in the culture wars or can I just play games?
More confident in Kingdom Come 2 to be good given BioWare’s recent flops but this looks promising and deserves a chance to stand up or fail on its own merits.

this's all well said. & is why i'll be waiting for either some strongly positive impressions or, more likely, a decent sale...

I'm waiting for it to hit EA Play in a year. I wouldn't buy this for $70, but I will be looking forward to it in a year.

So will user criticism. If this is another 8.0+ critic score vs 2.0 user score, you would at least know the game is polarizing. Gamers that aren’t on either extreme should be smart enough to see through the bullshit on both sides and make a decision based on their personal preferences.

It could be a good game, but its definitely pushing woke agendas at the most top level. I am sure a lot more will be revealed the deeper you get into the game.

While this might be true in some situations, saying that Veilguard isn't woke would be extremely dishonest.

If you close your eyes, and let the epic music score, voice acting and sound effects take you over, I must admit --- It's amazing.
But then you open your eyes and you see this atrocious, uninspiring artstyle.

Yeah bro but you can play rock paper scissors with the skeleton. OMG it’s so quirky and clever, really delightful when you stumble upon all these little details after the astroturf marketing bots spoiled them for you.If you close your eyes, and let the epic music score, voice acting and sound effects take your over, I must admit --- It's amazing.

Why r u doing the mmo objectives? Skip them and the game becomes much better.
It’ll be moderated as any official thread, against people with agendas trying to be disruptive without having an interest in the game, since the official thread is meant for people who bought it and are playing it, but I'm not going to prevent people from giving their honest impressions.Also,
It was troublesome to me when an ex-moderator tried to shut down all criticism of FF16 in the official thread, which is why I went out of my way to criticize the game myself (and a significant part of why he's an ex-moderator).

I'm already doing this a fair bit, but considering how they built Inquisition, they're kind of in the way/on the way and they help with leveling and acquiring better gear.

Yeah, initial reveal had purple vomit everywhere, big emphasis on the mildly deformed super stylized fortnite aesthetic, was generally filled with marvel quips and legitimate GAAS styled character title cards. I mean, it looked like something that could be in the extended Shrek universe.
New trailer is including mainly (what I assume to be) main quest dialogue and cutscenes, little emphasis on the big gay color scheme, one noticeable shot of the lolomgwtfsorandom skeleton, one shot of the screaming trans deer/demon dude (Qunari?), lots of focus on monster and creature design.
It was like comparing the trailer for Gollum to the theatrical trailer for Return Of The King, except both incredibly disparate trailers in this case are of the same product.
I think anyone being genuine sees what you're saying here.

I don't see this as a problem. The majority of "haters" will stick to ancillary threads involving how badly the game sold or if the designers put something ridiculous in the game that previews haven't been privy to.Also,

It is safe to say that the future of Bioware likely hinges upon the success of this game.
Regardless of just how woke the game appears to be. The writing quality of the previous entry (Inquisition) was truly all over the place. That game was also a godawful bore. The gameplay loop itself tedious. The mission structure consisting of fetch quest after fetch quest. The environments unnecessarily large and filled with practically nothing. Simply traversing the breadth of some of those areas took forever. More egregious was the dark | light dialog options. You could be either good or kind of a dick. Almost like the developers felt uncomfortable delving into darker themes like in the previous entries.
Concerns regarding the change of tone and direction are valid. Regardless of what the ideologues believe. It simply isn't a good sign when the fourth game in any franchise has had to redefine the core of what the franchise should be. Almost like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Attempting to try something different rather than sticking to the original concept seems unnecessary. The cartoony look, inflated character heads, marvel quippy dialog in my view don't really fit the franchise well. The contrast between what we have seen and the original game appears significant.
The trailer was a much better representation of 'Dragon Age' but I just can't get past the obnoxious pandering and feminist tropes. Such a shame as I was a huge fan of the company and have played almost every game they have ever released.

I'm interested in how this game will pan out. For better or for worse. Biowares future probably hinges on it and my magic 8-ball keeps saying "Outlook not so good". It has a Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe with popping colors instead of Dark Fantasy Grit that Dragon Age was known for.
