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:

That second picture... These people just cant help themself.

 

[EviLore]

Yeah you only control Rook.

Rooks only move in straight lines though. Is that really being fair to the LGBTQ community?

 

[lmimmfn]

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

Timecoded video:

I never thought anything could top:

,but we have a new winner!!!

 

[DenchDeckard]

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.

Hahahaha! This is fucking GOLD!

GOLD!

 

[CloudShiner]

Damn so high didn't expect that.

The same media that gave 10/10's to the bastardised Disney Doctor Who that users give 2.6 on metacritic to?

Expect the expected.

 

[SlimySnake]

This is fucking sickening. Fuck EA.

 

[GHG]

The most braindead response in existence.

I'm now a coping conspiracy theorist.

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

Timecoded video:

Might be an unpopular opinion but I kinda enjoy this kind of schlocky writing in the way I enjoy shitty b-movies. It helps if the characters are actually likeable in the first place though.

RLM has conditioned me to laugh at and enjoy shittiness more and more over the years. I ain't buying the game though.

EvilLore, didn't you know in 2024 you can decide to be whatever you want to be without restriction. Even Reality is no longer a roadblock.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I think I'm just going to mod up origins and play that again.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The game is like the epitome of written by and made for Gen Z only

Dragon Age presented by Netflix

 

[lmimmfn]

She, no TheyThem is soo brave

 

[Topher]

Why, reason? Just asking.

Between the horrible dialogue EviLore highlighted and the pronoun bullshit in the screenshots.....

 

[Duchess]

Don´t u know: This is all a simulation.

And the sys admins are pissing themselves laughing at us right now.

 

[rm082e]

So they just sent the review codes out to half as many outlets and cherry picked the people the thought would give them higher scores. Metacritic has 44 reviews while a game like Star Wars Outlaws has over 90. Great.

It will be fun to see where this winds up in a month.

 

[Sweden85]

I will not buy this shit, story sucks

 

[Mossybrew]

I'm fully prepared to roll my eyes when some genderwoo bullshit comes up but I'm certainly not letting that stop me from buying and enjoying the game.

Lmao, you are 100% getting banned for that post on Resetera. Bravo!

Gen Z males will hate it, its made for women, who usually dont buy AAA games at launch, lets see how sales gonna go in a month or two, lets see if EA brags about actual sales or number of miles walked/dialogues clicked and if we get "didnt meet sales expectations" announcement again like with all that woke trash games

 

[Singular7]

As a parent I can't endorse the crazy non-binary stuff, and despite DA1 / Inquisition being among my favorite games, this is banned in my house.

Keep the creepy stuff away from my kids ya maniacs.

 

[missiles]

A lot of people identifying as non-buynary in this thread.

 

[Pey.]

I did it on purpose to see the reactions, LOL. They are already insulting me and taking that one paragraph out of context.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

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.

I just don't get where these reviews are coming from. That is some of the most cringe worthy dialogue I have heard, read by the most awful voice actors. I have truly been spoilt by BG3, where most of the dialogue is interesting and brilliantly delivered.

Sometimes I think people will just lap up any old shit.

Stop letting your kids play games that aren’t for kids.

 

[Sweden85]

Well I loved Dragon Age Origins and liked the story of 2 and Inquisition.

This seems to be intended for 10 year old kids..

Veilguard in a nutshell

[Brock2621]

Welp... I'm out. Hard pass.

 

[Windom Earle]

Whoaaa buddy

 

[Kacho]

The game is like the epitome of written by and made for Gen Z only

Dragon Age presented by Netflix

It seems out of touch and unappealing in the same way the Saints Row reboot was. Cringe writing, unlikeable characters, and bad gameplay. I can generally take the good with the bad, but there are no redeeming qualities here.

 

[nowhat]

Didn’t they go the FF16 route with this and remove party members? You only get to control the MC right?

Haven’t kept up with it at all, but that alone makes it a pass for me.

You can no longer control your companions. You can issue commands to your companions, there are three ability slots for each of them - and they share the same cooldown, like what the actual fuck BioWare.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Whoaaa buddy

 

[nikos]

Yeah, some of these story/voice acting cilps in MattyPlays' video are HORRIBLE.

I don't even have expectations or bias because I've only briefly played Dragon Age / BioWare games, but I have to wonder how much of it is actually this bad.

The gameplay still looks fun.

 

[GHG]

Whoaaa buddy

 

[Roufianos]

I'm going to kiss you.

It's like they brought to life the scene in Friends where Chandler and Phoebe are pretending to like each other.

 

[Kacho]

Whoaaa buddy

Example after example. Pack it up boys. This game is toast.

 

[SHAKEZ]

Matty Plays didn't like it:

HOW can anyone see this shit and think it deserves anything above an 8?

 

[Mister Wolf]

wrong thread

 

[Chuck Berry]

Example after example. Pack it up boys. This game is toast.

Already missin Asmon's take on all this

 

[LectureMaster]

With so many 10s and 9.5s and yet the aggregated score is 84, I just can't help but thinking those high scores are "review inflation".

 

[Fabieter]

That second picture... These people just cant help themself.

Hier can do write shit like this and than go out and cry that the bad gamers didn't like your shitty game. I was wrong in my hope for a bioware redemption. DEI

 

[Sleepwalker]

I never thought anything could top:

,but we have a new winner!!!

Oh dear lord

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

A game made by mentally ill people for mentally ill people. No thanks.

 

[Topher]

Whoaaa buddy

The most extreme example of wokeflation incoming.

This will be one for the ages.

You were not kidding

 

[Isa]

And the sys admins are pissing themselves laughing at us right now.

What I thought escaping the matrix would be like ...

vs reality

Spoiler

 

[Windom Earle]

Gamers: Alloy is ugly and fat
Bioware: Holy my beer

 

[Phobos Base]

Watching the Skill Up review at the moment, how on earth anyone can look at those wax Fortnite models and Marvel "well that just happened" writing and think they are good is beyond me. I dread to think what the next Mass Effect game will end up like.

 

[Doczu]

Great reviews! Looking forward to this.

Your future should be analog. No games for you.

 

[graywolf323]

Mortismal gaming liked it, that’s enough for me. Probably the number one guy I’d go to for CRPG reviews.

same, though I’ll probably wait for Black Friday to pick it up

edit: maybe Black Friday 2025…

 

[BigBeauford]

Oh man, you are now the dreaded "C word". And not the British kind.

 

[captainnapalm]

Whoaaa buddy

EA spent millions of dollars and put a trans person in charge - in a make-or-break game for Bioware - to turn Dragon Age into this. Lol.
