Not even worth free with my sub.

Metaphor Refantazio, Octopath Traveler 2, and Clair Obscur all exist on the same service, play those.

It says I have to install the EA app on my PC.
Thats will be another icon next to the clock in the taskbar.

Makes sense, it's not really available through GamePass, it's through EA Access or whatever it's called now.

I hear it's good if you ignore the woke stuff

Not really, combat is ok but the writing is abysmal, woke or not.

 

[R3TRO]

I went in open minded and it was awful.

Sorry that's a deep cut. I should have added /s.

 

[Rush2112]

Dude why you posting this shit

 

[GHound]

Zero money changed hands. Microsoft promised them an additional space for a BF6 advertisement for it.

 

[DavidGzz]

Was there a demo? I swear I played this and quit right away. I hate the look and the combat was just ok.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Ok, I got the EA App installed on my PC. But when I click on install it takes me to a page in the EA app to BUY the game. Where is the Gamepass version? This is my first time with the EA app using PC Gamepass. I'm lost.
edit-I did a reboot, and it works now. 91 GB. Thats a lot of Purple.

 

[Nightly]

Im not even kidding, I was gonna buy it used yesterday for cheap, glad I didn't now that it's on gamepass

 

[Magic Carpet]

There is a 'Demo' button, but I think it might just be a character creator.

There was a trial for a few hours on EA play around release. Maybe that? I'm sure they gave you more than enough time to form an opinion.

Game Pass? More like, "Game? Pass."

I think that was it, the free trial.

 

[Comandr]

Wouldn't even play it for "free."

Comments section has the full internet archive of no thanks/pass gifs

 

[Itchy Tickles]

I was worried I was gaining too much weight recently, but these push ups will definitely educate me..... I mean get me fit.

I don't use GamePass, but even as part of that I wouldn't touch the game. Then with now and next month having so many new releases, there wouldn't be any time for it or even for a hate play for an hour.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

They keep trying eh..

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

You will try it and you will love it, bigots.

 

[kruis]

 

[winjer]

No, thanks.

 

[kat_on_the_roof]

I really, really tried to give the game a chance. I tried it after it became available on PS+.
I have a high tolerance and frustration threshold when it comes to left-liberal ideological themes. That wasn't even the worst part. It's just an incredibly poorly written story with truly unlikable protagonists.

I lasted an hour, then my tolerance was exhausted. It's a real shame, because I actually really like Dragon Age.

 

[bighugeguns]

Meh

 

[PeteBull]

They didnt even use Denuvo at launch(which costs 25k usd/month) coz knew so few ppl wanna pirate it that it simply makes 0 sense, nuff said barely any1 gonna play it even if they check it out "for free"
Lets just not forget how positive reviews that game got from sellout professional journos:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews

Unite the Veilguard and defy the gods in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, an immersive single-player RPG where you become the leader others believe in. When a pair of corrupt ancient gods break free from centuries of darkness, the vibrant land of Thedas needs someone they can count on. Rise as Rook...

www.metacritic.com

82 overall score based on 73 "critics", tells us all how trustworthy are those pieces of shit
In those 73 reviews 75% were positive so 75 or higher, 25% were mixed so between 50 and 75, and noone of the reviewers decided to give negative score(under 50/100) which the game rightfully deserved.

Just so ppl got alternative, check previous entry in the series instead, DA:I
Runs 1080p60fps+ maxed on weak/old af rtx 3060 durning endgame fights like this one even:

And as u can see still looks bearable(i would say maxed in 4k it looks good enough):

Here u can see very begining with sex/race/class selection(no body type shit, proper male/female instead

I hear it's good if you ignore the woke stuff

Unfortunately it's not. It has bland RPG elements, inconsequential role play of your own avatar (I mean... why even bother playing a rogue when there's no lock picking, no speech skill checks, etc.?), puzzles for brain dead people, very different tone and character changes from the original game, lore, and universe. Companion interaction is like babysitting.

There are reviews going on for 30 minutes on what's wrong DA:V without even mentioning the woke stuff. As much as people like to play that wokeness card, it's really the least of the game's problem.

The reality is you have to ignore a lot of stuff to enjoy it. Not saying there's no way anyone could enjoy it, but keep your expectations in check.

[Redefine07]

Cool , if you got ghei pass to play this awesome shitty game.

 

[seb85]

PASS

 

[The Cockatrice]

I enjoyed the game. Is it cringe and safe? Sure. Is it fun tho? Yeah if you jump in not expecting a crpg, but more of a action game. Also runs really well.

 

[Sentenza]

I hear it's good if you ignore the woke stuff

It really isn't.

 

[bighugeguns]

They keep trying eh..

edit: eh, I'm going to chill out, maybe these games really aren't made for us.

 

[Roberts]

Downloading it on xbox rn. I prefer to see it for myself and give it a chance.

 

[Baemono]

It's still installed on my PS5 after they gave it away for PS+ users, but haven't launched it yet, I have way too many games to play

 

[Outlier]

I played and beat it on PC, a few months ago.

I thought it was better than I expected. That's not saying much, though.

Graphics are great, character creator is great (if a bit lacking in areas), it runs great, and... that's about it.

Played as a Dwarve Warrior that SOMEHOW uses magical weapon attacks, so combat was not designed properly and broke DA lore.

Rook is an empty shell, whom only serves to lead a group on a mission. I hated their "character".

Disliked all the companions. They all paled in comparison to DA: Inquisition. I also only did Neve and Hardings quests, since there were our starting buds, so I felt obligated. The team meetings and downtime conversations were woeful corporate adult-sitting sessions.

The main story is VERY WEAK. It really didn't deserve massive amount of effort the ending scenario received.

But, worst of all; They did Solas dirty...

It's a fine game, but a horrible Dragon Age.

5/10 experience, for me.

Here's my handsome Dwarven Rook:

Believe it or not, the director got hired on at Wizards of the Coast. It's amazing you can ship a game that lost your company millions and still get hired on in somewhere else in the same position. Once your in, your in.

Played through the tutorial and so far so good. Maybe it's because I haven't played a lot of AAA games recently, but was surprised how good looking of a game it is even in perf mode on xbox. There is something very smooth about it all. Will keep on playing.

 

[GymWolf]

I hear it's good if you ignore the woke stuff

It's ok at best, like avowed.
