A lot of time focusing on the biggest toughest enemy will get you killed because the lesser enemies are damaging you from range unhindered but if you take them out, the focus on the tough one it's a lot easier.
how about learn to form your own opinion and stop only doing things that other people tell you to do... you are not even your own person.. your just someone else
Disagree - no cooldown modifiers, only 3(!!!) skills to use, regular attacks become pointless on higher difficulties as enemies are just entirely resistant to them. There is almost no depth to the combat, only 3 status affects get applied overwhelm, sunder and weaken and they’re limited to class so only Mages weaken for example, the ENTIRE warrior tree has like 9 abilities, and then the specializations have ONE ability, which if you want to use it, replaces one of the core abilities so, core you get to use 2/9 and specialization you get to use 1/1…because there are no other abilities outside of the super…..other than passives and normal attack modifiers. This is a HUGe step back from the depth in inquisition. The potential skill combinations and builds are way less. Some abilities are outright useless like the warriors spectral bulwark - useless, does very little damage, has almost no uptime (in fact….the game doesn’t even tell you its uptime….) and it is toast after one hit. Furthermore the cooldowns are a MINUTE! And there are ZERO cooldown modifier options in this game. No special cooldown reduction for criticals, or detonations or….anything. I’m trying to enjoy this game but it’s honestly it’s hard to even call this an rpg. I much preferred inquisition, the world was more serious, the abilities were cooler, there were WAY more skills, WAY more armour and weapon options, there was actual crafting, there were enemies you could go out and fight in the world…. Oh… there WAS a world. Veilguard is just a bunch of alley ways. This game is honestly hot garbage. Level cap of 50. Christ. It’s 2024, I want a real rpg with complex stats, lots of skills and abilities, replay value - this is such an underwhelming game.
@@davids.2703Absolutely gonna get review bombed. People see a negative review from their favorite RUclipsr and then automatically declare the game “garbage” before it even released lol. So absurd.
I've played it, it's good. Looks good, it's sleek and has solid combat. Can't say much for the story so far but it's setting up nicely so far. Only negative I've found at present is that's a bit linear, but it let's you return and explore later according to the index. If you liked the other games, just get it and don't listen to haters
@@himanshupandey8771 because for yall to be so upset about this game, you find every opportunity you can to say something negative about it in various comment sections. You’re either secretly obsessed with the game or you’re a weirdo with nothing better to do
OK, haters we get it, you’re not going to play the game - and for some reason you think we all need to know that. But some of us are truly enjoying the game. Maybe go find something you DO enjoy, and play that.
Yea all the hate surrounding it is petty, exhausting, and childish. Taash’s dialogue needs to be deleted from history other than that solid game. What’s the most irritating is I know most of the hate is coming from people just jumping on the bandwagon who haven’t even played the game for themselves…fucking lemmings
So this is probably a stupid question - i accidentally pressed a button combination that took away the option to change to off hand weapon and also no ability wheel. Any ideas how to fix? I reset to default gameplay controls but didn’t fix
I can't find one video on one simple question I can't find a answer to how do I use skills ? I man how do I use like skills I get after the 3rd ability takes the slot I can not find a way to swap skills to say the frost nova to chain lightning after I have unlocked so many
Gotta love people are so punctual to hate lmao. Barely been five minutes since this video dropped, but there’s comments being bitchy already. Don’t love IGN either, but this isn’t IGN hate and it shows lmao
Also, youtube counts dislikes and comments, no matter how negative, as engagement, and will further push the video. Also, IGN gets paid per click, and they're clicking. So...thanks for the views and engagement!
@@piper67890able "Dragon age has never been a huge series" -> Incorrect. Its one of the most well known modern RPGs but its popularity has waned due to liberal push, mechanics change from the Dark Fantasy narrative thanks to Inquisition and Veilguard. "Tell me the peak player count for DA:I" -> Bad reasoning. If you want to use the logic that Inquisition had lower player count then Veilguard, then Origins had a lower count than Inquisition yet player ratings for Origins is higher than Inquisition's ever was. And majority consider it to be the best in the series by far.
@@mastery7901 If DA:O had less players then DA:I, like how DA:tV has less them MH BETA, by your own original logic, doesn't that mean iDA:O is "whatever you where implying about Veilguard" ? Also, didn't DA:I sell like 4× the amount of Origins ?
@@VRO_000 Wrong logic because the count of actual gamers between Origins in 2009, Inquisition in 2014 and Veilguard in 2024 is vastly different. The pool of players today is much more than 2008's pool, meaning you have more gamers now than before. And yet the player count is low for Veilguard contextually. For example, Steam registered 15 million users in 2008-09, in 2024 its 35 million.
Why all the hate? I’m like 6 hours in and the environments are linear but like in a GoW 3 sorta way, set pieces are gorgeous, and combat is really solid. What do you want, it’s got swords and dragons and things go boom. Y’all are some clowns fr. Game is really good.
@@fearlessarchangel no, you never played 1 hour of the other games and if you did you would of kept your mouth closed even if you liked it. Don't gaslight and since I know your going to tell me you played every bioware game, so tell me what did you think of IGN's 9 and what was said in the review. Or did you pre order?
Explain one aspect of the game you enjoy without using vague descriptions filled with adjectives. Tell me how a mechanic works and why it's existence improves the game.
Loving the game so far. Ignore all the hate from people who will never play the game but somehow dedicated every second to discuss and hate it. You do you booh
EA's assessment that people would engage in swarm behavior and hate on the game and write low reviews even though they themselves haven't played it, was why, I suspect, they tried to control the reviews in it's initial release. Judging by the comment section on every streamers page, their suspicion was correct. It's so toxic. Who would want to make a game in this evironment? I've read that incels and edgelords make up a disproportionate amount of gamers. Alot of pent up anger and frustration🙄
Agreed. It's actually insane, I have never seen discourse surrounding a game so toxic and unhinged without much justification. A lot of sheep behaviour. Gaming was not like this 10-15 years ago. Playing veilguard at the moment and having a blast. Dialogue isn't on usual bioware standard, but all in all, having a good time.
@ me too! I'm having a blast. There are a few voice actors I don't like but Solas, Harding and Varric are voiced by the same people as before. I love the combat! Cheers. Glad you are enjoying it:)
I got the game to try, can always refund on steam. It is so fun tho. I cant stop playing it. Not sure why I love it so much. I am not really down for games where you have a team, and you gotta chose spells for your team. This game is really fun. The character creation is wonky af. And if you want to make your character more masculine, its not easy......
I don't get this. I had no problem making my very male character look like a guy. The only thing I can come up with is that he doesn't look grossly roided out covered in tatts and scars.
I’m playing it and it sucks. Such a joke compared to the depth in inquisition. The bad guys? They look stupid. Corypheus was actually threatening - when he destroyed haven that was bad ass. The writing, the language in inquisition - how does everyone not realize this reads like a book for a 5th grader? The game is a steaming pile. And I’m going to play it because I paid for it, hoping, like many of you, the negative reviews were over done - but they weren’t, in fact I don’t think they were harsh enough. Whoever wrote the dialogue in this game should never be afforded the opportunity to do so again.
The genuine hatred occurs when you take something that people love and what makes them happy and then deceive and abuse them with it. Sometimes, a good game can save people's lives when they are depressed and need escapism more than ever before. But instead of that, you get things like DA Veilguard and IGN reviews. And all you have instead of enjoyment is just disappointment and frustration.
A lot of time focusing on the biggest toughest enemy will get you killed because the lesser enemies are damaging you from range unhindered but if you take them out, the focus on the tough one it's a lot easier.
1 Combat Tip You Shouldn't Miss - Always do the opposite of what an IGN employee says.
kinda vibing with the combat mechanics. although i would've liked more verticality to it, it's fine
You can't lose the fights in Veilguard if you don't play Veilguard.
calm down groomer
yaaaah sure 😏😂
But you can be an idiot to post comments on yt
u cant afford it anyway lil bro
Trueeeee
Looking forward to the real reviews this week
how about learn to form your own opinion and stop only doing things that other people tell you to do... you are not even your own person.. your just someone else
I’m from the future and I’m sad to say the game is terrible. The review outlets like IGN have collabs with EA and are forced to give a good review.

Because it is a action mobile gacha game combat system. (This isn't meant as an insult. The combat of some is actually pretty good)
