So……I'm non-binary

Literally all you need to see to know the writing is atrocious. Gameplay is good but it's a "RPG"..writing doesn't get to be this bad and succeed

 

[Signalis]

My feelings towards Veilguard are still the same. Didn't buy it and won't ever

 

[Last Hearth]

Why do we need to revisit this game at all. Even the people who did play it have moved on. There are 40 million people currently playing on Steam, of them 683 people currently playing this game.

I am decently proud of the amount of storage I have:

The local drives are all Samsung 990 Pros, with the OS only being a 2 TB drive while the other 4 are 4 TB drives. The NAS drives are all IronWolf Pro HHDs.

Look, man. Not everyone lives in a datacenter.

 

[Saint Boot Gaming]

They have not. it was garbage then, and it is still garbage now. As it will be in all the years following.

 

[TexMex]

I haven't thought about it at all.

If only we could get same treatment for similar quality game we all got too late to love:

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

One of the shittiest AAA games with one of the worst character in gaming a.k.a Taash.

 

[Filben]

No, because it's still called Dragon Age and its RPG core elements still suck and companion interaction still feels like babysitting and """puzzles""" are still for braindead people.

 

[Madflavor]

No my thoughts haven't changed. Awful game. Awful Dragon Age game. Completely shits on the lore and the plot elements of previous games. Embarassing and meme-worthy dialogue. I haven't played it but I've seen most of the clips.

Also whoever told me Mortismal Gaming is a "real one" when it comes to RPGs can get fucked. That dude rating Veilguard higher than Origins wouldn't know a good rpg if it crawled up his ass.

Jason Schreier is a fucking Joke as a Journalist!!!

 

[VGA-Games]

These mentally ill Game Developers managed to ruin the Dragon Age IP with their political Agenda for Forever!!!

 

[Madflavor]

That dinner scene with Taash and her mother is one of the most embarrassing moments I've ever seen in a game.

 

[Zephir]

It was a good looking game with a good gameplay, but for anybody invested in the plot, lore and characters of Dragon Age, it was devastating

To me, to be fair, it was entertaining and I laughed quite a lot for some of their awful choices... so I can say that the time spent (and the platinum) was worth it

 

[EverydayBeast]

The fade, coryoheus, skyhold etc. were dope in Inqusition, I think people just like being cruel to new games.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

A year ago I thought "that looks like a proper bunch of bollocks, I'm not playing that" but after a year I've come to think "that is a proper bunch of bollocks, I'm not playing that", so while my thoughts of the game have changed somewhat, the outcome hasn't.

 

[Sticks]

Tried with GP but it really is terrible

 

[mèx]

I would like to play it just to see how they have concluded the Solas storyline.

But then I look at the game and I'm not sure I'm able to suffer all of that just for Solas.

 

[Rocinante618]

Never played the original first two, I'm too young for those lol.

I did bite and got this very cheap, 10 hours later I just lost interest and uninstalled.

- great optimisation, looks great and runs smoothly
- kinda believable world ( the environments/atmosphere) carry it
- combat is alright, it's fun and quick but bland and boring after a few hours. Not too much depth.
- dialogue is atrociously bad. I simple fail to understand how it's relevant to the world, the dialogue works if this was a teen drama set in LA. It just doesn't match. This game has worse dialogue than Forspoken or Immortals Aveum.
- you can skip all the annoying cutscenes! Nothing needed to understand the story.
- character models are a mix bag, like they are trying to look good but also ugly as fuck.
- music is excellent, Hans Zimmer cooked but not as good as Inquisition

Honestly if you're looking for a very optimised, good looking fantasy RPG I recommend at a steep discount. It's premium slop.

I also think the LGBTQ representation is overblown and cherry picked to mislead the public. That whole Taash shit cutscenes can be skipped.

BioWare and Dragon Age always had LGBTQ stuff. Honestly I don't see any AAA do this properly, I can just think of a few games that nail this, Celeste is does this perfectly, SIGNALIS as well. Maybe BG3 but I haven't played it.

 

[semiconscious]

The Veilguard is truly a 7/10-ass 7/10...

it's this type of depth & precision of language that really draws me to this guy's writing...

 

[PlayStaytion]

I'm comfortable beating games when nobody talks about them.

 

[Aenima]

Which one does your porn go in?

In all of them, obviously.

 

[Wilhelm_85]

Everything about the game was gay-coded. I hope the LGBT+++++ crowd enjoyed it, because it was clearly made with them as the primary audience.

With that said, it had *really* great hair tech. I hope that manages to live on in some way.

The best part was the follow up tweet where he accidentally admitted the truth before deleting it.

 

[CloudShiner]

And what a surprise, after AGAIN deleting comments that he didn't like, the Eurogamer child has now put pre-approval on, just in case a nasty person posts something when he's not there watching the comments like he has been all day.
