Dragon Age: The Veilguard (October 31, 2024)

[Legal]

I got the physical with an Amazon gift card and played about 10 hours before I returned it


I actually liked the linear gameplay loop and combat but the dialogue was so lame I just didn’t care about the characters that much. Like if that shyt was only 6/10 good I could probably get thru the game but it’s truly the cheesiest dialog I’ve ever seen in an M rated game

I forgot to double back in the Discord once I finished it, but the game gets better further in. You can tell the early hours of the game are definitely what got reworked the most, since that's where some of the worst dialogue is. You could definitely play a dangerous ass drinking game based off of how lazily they throw around the phrase "Elgarnan and Ghilinain" though.

The story beats and set pieces in the mid to late game are definitely good, though. You can tell that, for better or worse, this was made by people who think Mass Effect 2 is Bioware's best game, and tried their best to make a Dragon Age version of that. Solid 7/10. Fun, not something I'd call great, but definitely not a piece of shyt.

Man these are grown ass adults killing dozens of enemies every time they go out into magical warfare, talking about some “Oh um, erm…its a date! Or um, a plan for two people to meet a certain time together. Yea…that’s it” Like bro GTFOH

Right the writing is too modern and soft it does not feel like a medieval dark fantasy story.

Bolded is fukking crazy. EA's annual release schedule is basically held together by FIFA and Madden from a revenue perspective .

And this game didn't ruin the Dragon Age brand, wasting ten whole years to get a sequel out did. It reached a point where they'd sunk too much time and money into it to not release it, but also too much for it to be a success without putting up crazy numbers. If we're keeping it a buck, this is very much a "Here nikka, DAMN" game.

Mass Effect will likely be just fine. If the studio survived Andromeda and Anthem back to back, they'll be able to see out development on what was internally viewed as their ACTUAL comeback game.

they can't make another dragon age bro they nuked the world lol

but fr I can't even be mad with EA. sony or microsoft would've killed bioware years ago

ME doesn't even have a plan yet. It'd be different if the property made it TV or something since the teaser but they couldn't make that happen either.

they make a soft version of that story just look at Lucanis and compare him to dragon age 2 Anders for an Master Assassin possessed by a demon name Spite you think would have more of a darker edge to him it like damn Anders possessed by Justice/Vengeance is more then a Master Assassin.
