Dragon Age: The Veilguard Final Trailer Released

I mean....while not DA:Origins, that looked perfectly acceptable.

Wont be jumping in day 1, regardless of the reviews (because no way this game gets reviewed on its merits), but I'll be watching to see how its received in the wild.

That trailer looked perfectly fine.

Grow a fucking spine you weak loser and read the mean posts, trust me you will survive.
To the ones in here liking his post, I need you guys to know, I don't block anyone on here. I read mean posts all the time. Even when I wrote my post above I wrote it knowing I would receive comments like this in response.

None of the above has anything to do with wanting to simply discuss a video game in it's OT.

What do you think will be better. This or Avowed?

Great question. Feel like the new Dragon Age has a higher ceiling but a much lower floor. We have a good idea what to expect from Avowed given recent output from the studio but this Dragon Age game is a sort of reboot and a wild card. Def not preordering but keeping a close eye on what the impressions are like once this gets into the wild.

Honestly, his tag, avatar, and post (and the fact that he got banned) all combined made it funny. Don't let the post bother you, laugh and move on.

Personally I’m not going into an OT to shit on a game unless I’m playing it myself.

Trailers and review threads are fair game though. 😈
I think if you have strong feelings towards a franchise I can see why people might pop in and say something regarding it's direction. But baseless and senseless hatred? No. No place for that.

But I think everyone that's a Dragon Age fan expects Veilguard not be good from a artistic and narrative standpoint. Gameplay if really good might redeem it a little. Better to judge based on merit then unbridled animosity.

My point was that it doesn't bother me, because I've been used to it for as long as I've been on the internet. I am just letting others know that before they jump out and do the same as that poster.

in before the mob and the word "woke"

Really excited for this, but need to see reviews first!
U projecting hard here, bro, the difference between sane ppl and woke mob is- we dont tell u what to do with ur hard earned money or who to listen to/what not to do- wanna buy/play it, do it- its ur money, ur time, u wont be worse/better human being by playing or not playing the game ;)

We can and will call out clown world worldview/pandering when we see it, but if u wanna enjoy urself playing game like that- by all means do it, no1 can nor should tell u otherwise :p

Some people's value systems inform them not to throw their money at entities who glorify this type of nonsense. Yeah, I could pick around the mouse turds in my salad, but I can just get a salad elsewhere.

Exactly. My purchases were going to be this and Ys X for October. Now it's just Ys X. Good videogames to play are a dime a dozen. There is always something else to play.

Woke Mob: what do you mean you're supporting the practice of bodily mutilation to validate mental illness. Get fucked loser, where are the mods?

Sane people: I'm not buying this game.

Just strikes me as funny for this particular series, which has included things like gay relationships from the jump, for people to be clutching their pearls about an option in the character creator. Play what you want though. I'll be looking forward to reviews for this one.

I swear to god, if the next Mass Effect uses this same visual style... 🤮

Edit: it also makes me somewhat uncomfortable to see all the masculinity stripped from the game. Everything is designed to be either slightly feminine or completely androgynous.

Preordered. Those camp colors against the dark backdrop of Minrathous are going to look :messenger_alien_monster::messenger_alien_monster::messenger_alien_monster:FABULOUS :messenger_alien_monster::messenger_alien_monster::messenger_alien_monster: in HDR. It's time we turn our backs on grognard piss filter games like Origins and adapt to this stunning and brave new society in 4k on OLED!

Being gay isn't a permanent irreversible modification to the body that impressionable underage people will first learn of/have their notions reinforced. It's also completely incongruent with the setting. That one guy a few threads back that said he wanted a paladin to chop off someone's tits and cauterize the wounds with fire magic at least was operating within the confines of what would be feasible or probable in the game's world.

Just reeks of blue and turquoise ice cream scoop haired new age visionaries.

Me walking into the OT ready to quietly post my character creator screen with a massive femboy cock, neon purple masc pixie lesbian haircut, and the most belligerent top scar BioWare will allow (I’ve triggered the “anti-woke” snowflakes and am about to have a blast playing the game for 200 hours):

I hope the HDR is good. Frostbite games looks phenomenal in HDR

If we would cut out everything woke, would this game be good gameplaywise?
No idea, would be cool if some trustworthy person played it and let us know, problem with an rpg is- dialogues/story make sizeable chunk of content there so when game is woke(aka insane) in those aspects it simply takes me out of the immersion every time it does something that it wouldnt do normally if it followed principles of logic that other rpg's normally follow.

Game is singleplayer, likely gonna get patches upon patches for weeks if not months to come, so if by some miracle it turns out to be at least 7/10(actual 7/10, if u take out usual+2/10 professional journos give those woke games) i figured i can always play it later on :p

It's rated M. Didn't we go through all this back in the 90s? Are you playing the role of Tipper Gore? Is that what you want to be doing?

It’s a rated M game underage people shouldn’t be playing.

Total strawman. Being "anti-woke" doesn't mean you are anti-lgbtq, anti-women, or anti-POC. It means you are anti-race swapping, anti-gender swapping, making straight characters gay, giving women roles or creating women characters clearly meant to be portrayed by a man, making minority characters flawless, making majority demographic characters cowards, only reserving majority demographic people to be evil or ignorant, ect ect.

Bring up gun violence in video games and the chuds’ heads will implode. Somehow killing humans in virtually every shooter game in existence is not impressionable, but somehow a scar is.

The pearl clutching and “think about the kids” only engages for this one thing.

Fucking lol at these morons

Happy to hear that you're so tolerant! My bad for assuming.

Shouldn’t you hold a game being woke to the same standards?
