  • Dragon Age The Veilguard's initial trailer was pretty worrying, but in the weeks since, I've found 5 reasons that Mass Effect fans should get pretty hyped about the upcoming Dragon Age title.

    I got into Mass Effect from playing Dragon Age Origins. I wasn't keen on action-rpg type games, preferring the strategy style. But, as the sequel to Origins was taking some of the gameplay mechanics from Bioware's other series, I thought, okay, it's on Mass Effect isn't full price anymore, try it out and see what it's like and if I don't like it I won't get DA2. I played Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 several times before DA2 came out, then played DA2 several times before Mass Effect 3 came out, and then play ME3 several times before DA :Inquisition came out.
    I got Mass Effect Andromeda day-1, and while I had a few glitches with it, nothing as bad as other people had, and I enjoyed the game (not as much as the original trilogy, but then ME1 is not my favourite of the original trilogy), especially the combat gameplay, which Veilguard's combat reminds me of.
    I am cautiously optimistic for Veilguard. What I've seen so far I like.

    What has me worried is the dropping the amount of companions from the 3 to2. I am worried that it is going to limit the class that you can play as rook by what companions you want to take. Inquisition let you play any character you wanted because you did not have to rely so much on the Trinity. Although, I hated Solas but for the first play through, you had to take him everywhere to find the little orbs. I can’t wait to throw Solas off a building lol

    I think another reason why veilgaurd is more action is because the dragon age team will be moving to mass effect and it is just easier for the developers to transition to mass effect if veilguard is in the same genre as mass effect. Bioware is no longer this huge studio with two different teams

  • @ArcaneZippity
    @ArcaneZippity 17 дней назад +3

    Good video, thanks... Andromeda has issues, but it's not 100% terrible... The deadpan faces, odd dialogue for some companions, and so on do hurt the game... But I wouldn't call it a complete failure, as I did mostly enjoy it up to a point... Using mods to get around some of the quality-of-life issues also helps... Andromeda has a main story ending, but technically you can keep playing it forever, because it has lots of repetitive open world elements... But you can call it quits after you've exhausted the main story and most/all the side missions (which is what I did after my first playthrough) ... It has issues, sure, but if you're looking to scratch the ME itch after the trilogy, it's not a bad filler game... You can also play the trilogy with a bunch of Mods installed, and try a few new decisions each playthrough...
    As to Veilguard, it's obviously not going to be a 100% side by side comparison to prior games, even if it is full on a sequel... It's been so many years, and the development teams at Bioware from back in DA hay day is probably no longer there in the same capacity... So, I totally expect there to be a few drastic changes... My only concern right now for Veilguard is that because the action combat is even more actiony then before, how well will the various archetypes workout alongside the companions... While obviously nothing is set in stone yet, the game play trailer did show a few possible problems which is probably the more blaring concerns for most folks... The Companions appeared to do very little damage, leaving it mostly up to the player character to micromanage their bigger attacks... Which makes you wonder if they've removed the AI customization option, so prevalent in all previous titles... Also, they didn't show how the combat plays out with a fully ranged player character... So, we don't really know if this newer, more actiony system (compared to Inq), will be a hinderance for Ranged focus builds or not... The game play trailer never really showed that, beyond a couple bow pop-shots...
    In the end, if Veilguard does really well, then I think we will definitely see a ME sequel at some point, barring EA laying even more people off from Bioware... That's the bigger concern when it comes to these bigger conglomerate corporate publishing companies... You never know what they will do or how much pressure they will bear down with on to their Studios... Or how much they might interfere with production... Only time will tell... All we can do is be hopeful... :)

    what we want from the next Mass Effect game is for it to go back to being Mass Effect, i recently played Dragon Age Inquisition and it was everything i hated from Andromeda, it is a good game don't get me wrong but what works for Dragon Age doesn't mean it will work for ME as well, 2 different games and 2 complete different themes so they need to be separate or else ME might as well just be a DLC or something or DA

  • @soapandbutter
    @soapandbutter 14 дней назад +1

    Just not a big fan of making it more ME. Judging from what they've shown so far the depth of the "tactics" is pretty much just the mass effect pause. They also reduced the number of companions, it just seems like there isn't any positive trade-offs for these reductions, bringing back the "else-if-or" tactics of DAO would be the perfect trade-off for the reduced companions. Inquisition was a middle ground between tactical and action, should've stuck with that. My highest hope for this release is that it keeps bioware floating until mass effect.

    There are some solid points here. Part of the issue with day one release bugs is that developers were trying to make the product backwards compatible. Andromeda was on the current console and the previous console. And in order to get bugs fixed for the Xbox series X, you would break something on the Xbox One. Same with the PlayStations 4 and 5 builds. Not having to code for that many variables should keep us from having to deal with that kind of randomness. Also the initial trailer for Dragon Age origins sounded like an opening riff put together by Wayne and Garth from Wayne's world. It had nothing to do with the actual game. It's a trailer which means it's a commercial and the commercial is supposed to get your attention. It got your attention.

    Ill start by saying i respect most of the opinions on biowares games as of late and agree with more than a few. However, while I'm not blown out of the water by veilguard yet i am interested in it and hope it does well. Fanbases are always going to fight when the game direction shifts. At the end of the day im a baby millenial who did play kotor so i get the sentiment from that part of the crowd but im also modular in my tastes(Greedfall is shifting from action rpg to tacticalcrpg...much of that community did not react well to this, nor did i but ill adapt.). Much of this only truly hurts for those that have a preference for that style of gameplay and are inflexible. I can understand that as someone who adored Origins for its silent protag, writing and origins system for backgrounds. But ive found in every dragon age game something ive enjoyed alot. While theres other things i cant stand(I loved hawke and the companions in 2. Hated the repetitive area design. Virtually everyclass was boring outside of mages in origins.) Ive had less of this issue with mass effect start to finish becuase its been more consistent then this in terms of game direction etc. All we can do is give the game a fair shake at this point instead of losing our minds. It sucks to move away from the crpg style but it feels like a battle that wont end ever with the community especially with how long ago they moved away from it. Sucks for me becuase i like both styles of game and i hope bioware experiments with that style again some day. (Baldurs gate 3 was enjoyable but i wasnt blown away with it. The game is just divinity wearing BG's skin in my opinion.)

    Paragon7 is the best. Love your content. After Andromeda and Anthem, Bioware must know that the name Bioware no longer is a name associated with quality. So Bioware does have something to prove and I think Veilguard is it. Way back I had no hope for a Bioware good game of any sort. But now I think Veilguard will be a very good, fun game. As for Mass Effect, I seriously hope Bioware understands that Bond movies aren't Bond movies without James Bond. Ditto for Mass Effect and Shepard and team. Can't wait for your next update Paragon7.

    The only ''sales numbers'' I can find are Steam sales. DA:Inquisition $8.1 million // DA:Origins $6.7 million + DA:Origins - Ultimate Edition $16.2 million. That's obviously just steam and I don't even know how ''real'' those numbers are but I think a lot of people understimate how succesful DA:O really was and is. DA4 combat change is the more drastic one out of any DA with some of the features included on every other DA title gone for good this time. You also have to take into consideration the fact that most action combat fans are not fans of rpg narratives and ''reading time'' making DA4 an off-putting title for many of those potential customers.
    Even the narrative,wich is the basket were most people have put all their eggs(hopes) is affected by losing the DAKeep and only having a few choices regarding reactivity with older titles.
    I don't think DA4 is going to be the financial success some people think it's going to be, specially for the greedy suits at EA but time will tell.

    Your point about DAI's combat is a bit flawed. DAI in fact brought back some of the more tactical features from Origins, most notably the top down tactical view, which DA2 didnt have. It didn't move the combat further away from Origins than DA2, it was more of a middle ground. Personally I think one of the reasons DAI was more succesful than DA2 is not because it was less like Origins, but because it brought back multiple features from Origins that DA2 didnt have.

    Not sure how the new DA is like ME after seeing the new DA trailer and playing every ME game (and DA games).
    The new game has a lot to prove, the trailer hasn't quelled many DA fan concerns either after the long delays. Personally, to me it looks like a button masher where your teammates do very little which is a far departure from the rest of DA games.
    Better to wait until reviews are out and see extensive gameplay footage before buying this one.

    So I pretty much disagree with you on every level. I watched your video to to its end, as I wanted to hear your whole argument. Reasons one through three, I don't think we're great arguments. If they would have pivoted towards the CRPG for dragon age 3, it very well could have sold more. It didn't happen so we'll never know. They also included more CRPG elements to dragon age 3 then they did in two. I didn't think the gameplay looked very fun, neither did the story, and the characters look somewhat bland compared to what we've seen into the past as well.
    I don't believe supporting a franchise is good just so you can get another game either. In my opinion that line of thinking only encourages additionally poor writing, unless thought out games.
    Nostalgia sells? Look at Star wars. That is not the case. Bad story writing and bad franchise decisions can ruin IP. We have seen Star wars reintroduce familiar characters, And it was received very poorly by the fans. Terminator, aliens, Star Trek, DC, marvel, all are examples that show nostalgia doesn't work if you don't have good writing or direction.
    I want dragon age 4 to be a good game. But it's just not looking like it's going to be based off of what we've been given. But that's just my take. Thanks for the video

      David Gaider the chief, writer of ,DA1, DA2, and DA3, explained how he had a to write dragon age 2 quickly with his team, and how much of the story kept getting cut. So yes, it was still poor writing because they kept cutting out stuff, but you can clearly see they have the potential too write better stuff when they were put on the line and given the opportunity to(hence his comeback with DA3). David is no longer writing for them, it is now Patrick weeks. He make some decent characters, but the dlcs he has put out have been alright.

    I’ve played all the DA games but never got as hooked on them as ME. The snails pace of combat has always partly been why, with DA2 probably being the only entry that had combat I enjoyed and didn’t just feel like I was playing some MMO “stand still, hold mouse1 and occasionally pop a cooldown ability” type of combat. The gameplay we’ve seen of Veilguard looks a lot more fluid, positional, and faster-paced so I’m digging that so far, but we’ll have to see if that holds true for all the classes or if the dodging and such was just a rogue ability. In Inquisition the warriors all felt like they had lead ankle weights on and the mages all stood stock still when they fought except the fun specialization one that zipped around with the magic sword

I think the combat looks super fun. ME2 is my favorite game ever made so if the game is getting compared to that, all the more reason to be excited. and I’m clearly praying that this game does well critically because the pressure is on for this to succeed. The next mass effect relies on this game doing well. I don’t need it to be game of the year just show us the BioWare magic is still there. The fact that BioWare is the underdog is crazy but I believe they can come back. LFG BioWare!

Maybe will go back to Inquisition after this break lol. If anyone has any tips for kbm with that game, let me know!

      They're technically all standalone games, so no you don't have to complete any of the previous games, but characters from previous games do come back. Up to you whether that aspect of it makes it worthwhile.

      I honestly would play Inquisition at least. I would defintely play on pc and mod it so you can skip or buy the items for the fetch quests for Inquisition. If you don't play on pc, leave the Hinterlands asap. There are a lot of people with lore videos and summaries of all the media if you want to catch up. Ghil probably has the best.

    I remember the furor around DA2's release, and how it made that change to action combat.. but the game was good, all the angst at the time was unfounded, and I think it's the same with DA4 as well. I need this game to do well, for the same reason(s) you do: so that ME5 happens, and we get what we need. Hopefully Bioware will make our gaming dreams happen!

    I believe less than 10% of DAO/Awakening players used the tactical aspect. I absolutely loved it because of my disability. Setting the companions abilities order was terrific. But I always end up spamming aoe as a mage because I can't play 3rd person games very well. I love DA and ME effect games because of the stories/lore not combat. BG3 was blah, never made it past the first act for so many reasons.

      I actually enjoyed the tactical side of DAO and wish I had more time to set up my tactics and such, but I also grew up playing turn-based tactical RPGs like Fire Emblem so I was more inclined to like that aspect of it anyway.
      My mages were waay too OP honestly. The AOE damage from spells like tempest and blizzard was incredible.

One of the most legendary games of all time, Skyrim, is chock full of glitches but for some reason they got a pass. People will gripe about any little thing specifically because it's BioWare, so its best to just play the game yourself to find out.

    1st did you even play DAO DA2 DAI? DA2 is more action rpg than DAO or DAI, but DAI is not an arpg. DAI is a close return to form that people wanted, it is not a full crpg but close enough to retain new players and bring back on board DAO players. 2nd changes in game play is one thing, changes in "art style" is a hole other bag. DA as a franchise has always been Dark, Gritty, for MA, Realistic. Now you change the hole feel of the franchise by going full arpg and pixar movie graphics, change the daemons and the dark spawn in to the "toon world" version. So please stop trying to minimize how Fans like me who played DAO DA2 and DAI day 1 feel. It is players like us that made the franchise what it is, if we did not stick by through DA2 asking for the return to form with DAI you would not even be seeing this game. So slapping the face of the players that made the franchise sales what they are, that is why we are upset. Then you have people coming late to the party saying well its always been like this slapping the other side of are face.

      Less than 10% of players even used the tactical cam in inquisition, most dragon age players play the games as action games. I know you think you’re speaking for an enormous fraction of the fanbase, but you aren’t, you’re in the minority.
      All the games changed artstyle, literally none of them look alike. The “dark grittiness” of origins is massively blown out of proportion. It isn’t significantly darker or edgier than really any other mainstream fantasy rpg.
      By the way, I have around 10k hours in origins, 4k in 2, and 2.5k in Inquisition, so don’t even think you can speak for hardcore origins fans. You’re upset because things change, but that’s life. Keeping the series stagnant and crystallized in 2009 game design isn’t loving the franchise, it’s a fear of change and progress.
