What's the verdict incels. Did we win?

Game seems mid at best if you look past the usual mainstream media.

 

[Roufianos]

Matty Plays didn't like it:

HAHAHA, if anyone wants a cheap laugh skip to 27.30.

This industry is absolutely rammed with a bunch of man children who couldn't hold a real conversation, let alone write one.

 

[Palabragrís]

Wait a second, IGN actually asked someone called Leana Hafer, a non binary staffer to review...

"as a non-binary person myself, Veilguard includes some of the most authentic representation of coming to terms with gender stuff"

Something tells me the 9/10 is more than a little suspect.

Hahah
What did I tell you?

I'd wait for some trusty youtuber before believing a pro game site. I'd love the HappyConsoleGamer to review the game (the guy is very shill and positive. Let me recommend his channel), but he already said he's passing on this one.

 

[Kangx]

Performance mode looks blurry? Color me not suprise. The Fidelity mode runs at 1080p in sony state of play. I am guessing go down to 720p here?

 

[zeroluck]

Well, good thing they offer a refund option. I believe on Xbox you can play a game almost two hours and then you can ask for a refund. So if I were to do that I'd spent zero time in character creator and jump right in.

Only on Xbox, PlayStation still remained extremely anti-consumer. Still 2 hours is not enough for game like this.

 

[pudel]

I don't think a game's reviews have ever been this inconsequential.

Most people already had their minds made up about buying/skipping it long before the reviews dropped. Mostly just confirmation bias reactions from both sides at this point.

Yes...and its fine. Had a few good laughs already today.

My god I just cringed the whole scene

It's 7.5/10 for me > https://www.pcmrace.com/2024/10/28/dragon-age-the-veilguard-review-pc/

Lots of 4K pics in the review and a couple below:

 

[yogaflame]

I don't trust scores given especially by western media anymore. For me, personally, with its push and force narrative of twisted gender ideology, I will not buy this game.

 

[CloudShiner]

What a suprise, 'Metro' in the UK (the very same who tried to claim Doctor Who isn't made for straight white males) have given it a rave review as well.

These scores are more of a joke than the voting in the Eurovision Song Contest.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I’m going to say 83, and the incels/anti-woke mob will be very angry. Personally I have never played a Dragon Age game.

 

[Stafford]

Yeah, I read that too about soft image in performance mode. But surely fidelity mode isn't 1080p? That would be ridiculous. I'm not gonna buy this immediately anyway, I'm not gonna add even more to the backlog.

Only on Xbox, PlayStation still remained extremely anti-consumer. Still 2 hours is not enough for game like this.

Yeah, I believe it's two hours. Agreed that it is not enough for a game like this. Still, you can at least get a feel for the combat.

Course they did.

Not like biased judgment is an issue when reviewing a game.

However, I'm sure their defense would be "they're a subject matter expert"... or more realistically they'd try and cancel anybody who challenged them.

 

[missiles]

The clips of the writing and dialogue in Skillups' review are unbelievably patronising and condescending, it looks completely fucking retarded.

 

[Isa]

How long is the game on average palythrough?

From what I've gathered from different reviews 45-50 hrs sounds about average, with some doing 100 for two or three playthroughs to 100%.

 

[delishcaek]

Watching ShillUp's review currently and holy shit the facial animations are horrible. It's like watching wax figures.

At least the game seems to be very well optimized on PC... may pick it up on a deep sale in a year or so, if at all.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Cheap laugh? Shit gave me an aneurysm.

Nice thanks

Will Veilguard make the writing in Outer Worlds seem good in hindsight?

Dear lord. This is 10 standard deviations below bad YA novel writing.

[Madflavor]

Hold on Rook, before we deal with this world ending threat, I need to talk about my gender identity.

 

[GHG]

What's the verdict incels. Did we win?

I've only been told to "cope" once so far, so we still have a long way to go.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Matty Plays didn't like it:

I generally trust him on RPGs. It's gotta suck.

Hahaha no fucking way. They actually made her character arc about deciding to use they/them pronouns?

Is that screengrab with the gender woo bullshit for real?

 

[Magusx]

Damn so high didn't expect that.

 

[Lootlord]

This game could be a 12 out of 10 and i wouldn't touch it, seriously wtf...

 

[Gonzito]

This cant be real

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I've only been told to "cope" once so far, so we still have a long way to go.

I mean its kinda retarded to think that good reviews automatically mean they are being manipulated, so I can only assume that the reviews aren't what you expected/wanted them to be so you feel the need to cope by coming up with brainwormed conspiracy theories.

 

[SJRB]

I still can't believe this is a thing that is actually happening in a videogame.

The pronouns stuff, the mastectomy scars, lectures on multiculturalism.. It's too much. Too absurd.

 

[Mister Wolf]

And there it is.

 

[Topher]

 

[nikos]

Was actually leaning towards not getting this but I'm sort of getting hyped watching gameplay.

I like that the combat is more action focused. I also like that you can respec at any time, saving having to make permanent decisions and looking up builds etc. instead of just enjoying the game.

The gameplay looks great, however since I'm avoiding spoilers I have no clue what to expect from the story and that kiss clip (which may have been a spoiler) is horrible.

Maybe I'll just sign up for a month of EA Play Pro to try it.

 

[clarky]

Damn so high didn't expect that.

You didn't expect the mainstream media to score a major title highly regardless?

This looks god awful.

MattyP and Skillup crucify it. Terrible writing and repetitive gameplay.

We're back baby! Epic Bioware and their amazing writing.

10/10 Would consume more slop!

Holy shit that's bad. Like so bad my 8 year old could write better slop.

Matty is probably my favorite reviewer on YouTube. He doesn't touch on culture War stuff. Just whether or not a game is enjoyable. If he says it's bad I trust him more than these outlets.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Jesus, imagine paying U$70 to be lectured about "gender politics" in a medieval fantasy game....

 

[nowhat]

Ehh, I'll pick it off a sale at some point (may be next holiday sales even, I'm not certain this will sell well) and hate-play it just to bone scout Harding.
