Dragon Age: The Veilguard (October 31, 2024)

so are you saying this is just one of them mobile friendly games in truth?

no im saying that after 6ish hours



^was very accurate



but the combat, when it shines especially, is honestly kinda held back by the fact that your teammates are just turrets with assorted sauce. the gameplay actually has enough going for it that its safe to say that it's actually missing additional dynamics imo. when leaks were talking about this game's development and were discussing MP, like..... its clear to see that the foundation for it is there.

and if the effort instead got nipped to prop up THIS kind of writing and dialogue? they better hope the sales numbers come through

I got say there’re times where the enemy solely focuses on only you

Just waiting to put the kids to bed so I can finally jump on this shyt. I'm locked in for the rest of the night once they go to bed.

took a while to get used to the combat because they went away from the typical hotkeys but I think I am starting to get used to it.

So what's the verdict? Deciding between this and Stellar Blade for my next game.

More of a is it worth it to pick up at full price question.

Im having a lot of fun with it but im also not really a long time dragon age fan so i dont really have any expectations.

Stellar blade is also fun as hell with a poopy story.

Pretty sure it's been said that your teammates are Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite status (can't die and enemies focus on you not them)

Should i play the previous dragon age game before starting this?

Nah, the intro will get you hyped. You’ll look at all the different areas on the strategy map, you’ll start running around the plains, you’ll grind, you’ll start managing the inquisition thinking you’re actually making some big moves….

Then, the hype will wear off and you’ll be pissed that run run so slow, and that shyt is gonna turn into a slog. You’ll start traversing the area maps by repeatedly hopping as if it makes you move faster, but it just beats the bruh-man slow bob you do trying to get to an enemy and close the big portals.

The mirror puzzles get mind-numbing, inquisition management becomes a chore, you’ll play it for a week or two then put it down for months. You’ll feel the lore hype again, because fukk Solas, then rinse and repeat.

So far “Veil” feels a lot fresher, looser, and the story darkness is still there. There just a lot more sun, friends, and frienemies.

THE LORE DROPS I JUST GOT

I wanted the origin of the blight to always be a mystery... but I'm actually completely satisfied with the answer we got.

I can’t tell via these comments if I’ll like it or not so

Spoiler

Time to sail the high seas

Then don't get it then and move on simple as that

 

[Flexington]

That makes no sense

If I like it I’ll cop, but if not I’ve only wasted bandwidth and a little time
