The boys react to Dragon age the Veilguard a series nearly a decade in the making. What are their thoughts? 
Игры
A part of me wishes that there is an alternative universe where these 3 presidents really do get along and play DA together.
We living in the wrong timeline Forreal
@@CommanderFawkeshate the fact YT forced you to put warnings on AI videos like we are really that stupid. To think it’s real, sad.
That is the best timeline! I said the same thing on another channel with the 3 playing mass effect
@@jetdathreat Thats Prime radiance he is the goat !
Inquisition's Pride demon fight was great swiping away arrows with it's oversized arms.
Gameplay was pretty hype but I really hope we don’t have mass effect style companions in this game because a party of 4 was a staple of dragon age
I would be devastated but from further leaks it looks like we have squadmates that we dont directly control and simply give basic orders to like in mass effect
Going from Dragon Age Origins to this is brutal whiplash.
It's not even the same genre. It's like a spinoff but this is what Dragon Age is now.
I am torn on this game. On the one hand i love the faster paced combat like Witcher and Jedi Survivor and the return of origins. On the other i don't like the lack of Dialogue choices so far and the lack of companion control. At the very least Minrathous looked amazing and the story seems interesting. Im willing to give the game a shot, but I suspect it's going to lose a lot of the rpg mechanics.
Design wise it’s great and fast paced combat could be great if they make every class very unique. I’m ok with the dialogue wheel if it’s impactful to the character pc like how you could mold hawke to be passively sarcastic or aggressive and use that emotion to solve certain dialogue conflicts
@CommanderFawkes that's true, I hope it's similar to the old Witcher games where each school had a different fighting style for the classes. If rogues are very light and fast and warriors are heavy and tanks, then it could work. Also, the dialogue wheel could be good, like in DA2, but it feels like watching a movie rather than playing a game. It works in games like Jedi Survivor, but I liked the way Witcher 3 did dialogue.
LEZ FREAKING GO!! I held off watching new DA all week to watch these schmucks react~~ I cannot wait to learn about Veilguard. Thank you Presidents o7 ! Thank you Editor o7 ! Thank you Commander o7 !
Thank you ! glad I could serve it up quick for my community
feels more like Mass effect 2
That was my first thought while writing this too, I have a suspicion that mass effect's development team and dragon ages development team are no longer strictly separate due to all the layoffs that occurred two years ago. It doesn't mean it will be a bad game but will the mass effect pieces overcome the finished product?
@@CommanderFawkes finished product is the big question in my head too
Honestly once ya accept Dragon age will never be like DAO again it’s pretty hype and all the new stuff they said in articles give me hope it will be good
I have long since made my bed that their will never be a game exactly like origins it can’t really exist since origins was a passion project created for over ten years with already very experienced designers. However if you’re going to make sequels to the game then a honest attempt to capture the spirit and themes of origins is an important step and not have it feel foreign to the dragon age experience.
@@CommanderFawkesperhaps I’m in the minority but DAO didn’t need sequels after awaking.
@@gamingforever9121Given that a sequel was never planned you can just pretend that everything after awakening was fanart.
@@phoebeaurum7113 do you have a source for that because if that’s true it explains a lot.
Donald spitting facts all The way.
Valid
Obama coming at me again with details I miss and long for from DAO
reading all the books after his presidency came with some perks
Im pretty hyped myself, i like the look, i like the feel and i like the features showcased. Not too keen on the possibility we won't be able to control our companions, however i gotta admit after Origins i almost never used that feature exception being in Inquisition to remove some demon spawns near rifts, so if it really is gone i won't be impacted much but i do agree its a core feature of Dragon Age, lets just hope this is a tutorial mission thing and we'll get access further into the game
I’m concerned about the lack of tactics but some of the gameplay mechanics look really fun and the squad looks solid so far . If they have actual RPg elements this will be a big W
It's very flashy I'm just hoping it isn't just all flash and little substance.
I'm not sold on the detective, I felt irritated by her, but this is just such a short showing of her so I might warm up to her later. I hate her stupid hat tho, like with a fucking passion first chance I get I am removing it.
Also I'm not so sure on how to feel on how Tevinter looks like, it just seems so high fantasy I think this is the furtherest it has gone away from Origins dark tone and I don't really care for it.
Gameplay looks fun tho.
I don't hate it but I feel concern and I'll be cautiously optimistic. Keep up the good work!
Cautious optimism is the best way to handle games these days. I was basically saying the same thing will all the steampunk and drone jokes. It is flashy but this is literally a gameplay tralier where they cut ahead to their favorite parts so that was kind of the point to be fair
@@CommanderFawkes I am really happy they brought back origins though that was my favorite part of the original.
I can tolerate this gameplay reveal with the boys' commentary. I can't say I'm very excited about the game, but this was fun.
Well I'm happy I can make it tolerable for yall! This reveal definitely needed some commentary from some developer but I guess people are afraid to take credit for things now a days
@@CommanderFawkes Thanks for your effort, it's crazy that this came out so quickly!
@@CommanderFawkesgenerally speaking BioWare is afraid because their last few games have been critical and commercial failures.
I had a mixed reaction, but the more I think about it, the more I realize this demo is terribly flawed. And I don't just mean the bug at 7:26 where the veil tear pops out of existence all of a sudden. I mean the severe lack of dialogue choices and player agency. Rook either says things on his own without player input, has three options that boil down to two, or two options that get contradicted anyway by a companion. Also the storyline is bad. Neve was supposed to meet us at the bar, instead she chooses to get captured so she can see who was targeting her. That prevents us from finding Solas faster and saving lives, and we have no dialogue option to call her out on it. And then aside from Solas' terrible carpentry skills, it also makes no sense for Varric to take eight years to find someone Solas doesn't know just to introduce the two of them a few hours later. Remember how your Inquisitor can say to Solas that he doesn't have to destroy this world and he or she will prove it to him? Well too bad. The Inquisitor gets no say in the matter and neither does our new protagonist. And no, it isn't Rook's fault the evanuris were released. The Inquisitor called this back in Trespasser that the false gods would be freed if Solas tore down the veil, and Solas claims he had plans for that. The evanuris being released was always going to happen, even if Solas' ritual went off without a hitch.
I think a warrior will fit this game best. Just based on the first level, your companions are either two rogues, two rogues and a mage, or one rogue and a mage. Also the new gameplay and combat style seems to favor up-close battle. But I have to wonder, what happens if we try to play solo without any party companions?
And on the presidents themselves, first let me say I'm proud of Joe for not calling Rook "spook" or "corn-pop" on accident. Also good on Trump for resisting the urge to make a joke about black people toppling historical statues. But I am disappointed in Obama for not admitting that if he had a son, he'd look like Rook, or complimenting him on his awesome domino skills.
I really want to see warrior gameplay soon and I admittedly missed on my theory crafting of the two elven gods at the end I was tired and hard focused that we might see something other than then the elven pantheon . Also I would never make obvious racist jokes too obvious and low brow for my liking a small nod here and there is good enough for me
I'll say the animation and art design are fine besides the floating Pride demons that are glowing blue and the DA2 dialogue wheel will our choices matter?
I go into a whole rant about the pride demon design but we will have to wait for the finished product to see if our choices matter adding relevant origins was a good step towards that though
Yeah why is the fade neon blue now? It’s ALWAYS been green.
@@glowhoo9226 solas decided to go for style points
I don't like that Pride Demons are just a common boss for the newer games. I don't like the new Pride Demon design at all
Disrespectful to change it tbh
Honestly, yeah. Mind you I hated how the changed darkspawn from origins to 2, and I don’t remember them from Inquisition.
F for Bianca. No lie, parts of this had me rolling.
Glad you enjoyed it !
So I’m very hesitant with this game, the tone is just off for something I want from a DA game. I really don’t care for the character intro scenes. It doesn’t really like DA or a BioWare game, more like a hero shooter character trailer.
But I guess my biggest issue with DA as franchise is it’s not really consistent, whether it’s the series art direction, game (both its dialogue or combat), the games tone. I just think the games change too much from title to title, it makes each entry in the series feel a little disconnected. And I get it’s set in tevinter, but it feels a lot more high fantasy than origins. I hope this little rambling makes sense, I just think Dragon age as a franchise has an identity crisis.
I am excited for at least watching you play through it but I’m still on the fence on buying it myself. It is cool they’re bringing back origins for the main character. whether they’ll be good, we’ll have to see.
I hope I wasn’t too much of a Debby downer but from what I saw this isn’t reassuring.
Your takes are valid the gameplay and tone are worrying and Its why I had the boys clown it a little but their are good things shown in this reveal and Its hard to fully caste a official stance until the finished product. If they can bring some themes that made origins a top tier game that will make all the difference as to the future of this amazing series.
@@CommanderFawkes, and I appreciate them clowning on it. I think it’s just not off to a good start because the art direction and tone is off for me. One the things that made DAO really appealing to me is it was a low dark fantasy. That starts with the art direction to really instill tone.
I’m also worried that everyone will be using magic. I really like play non magic martial characters that have to overcome magic with their skill and wit. And to see the 1st level rouge using the emperor palpatine’s lighting bolts is kinda worrying. I don’t want my warrior to be jetting like a fragile mage or pounding his great sword in the enemy casting some magical AOE.
Releasing an AI presidents video on this in a single day is crazy, bro is working overtime.
Personally, I'm not too bothered by the gameplay changes as long as there are still cool interactions with powers and strategies. My biggest fear with this game was that we wouldn't be able to pause combat to look around and issue commands like in Andromeda. They seem to be scaling back some of the strategy elements, but as long as you have good control over party members (if not direct control) and that enables some cool power combos, I'll be happy. My biggest concern now is that it looks a little like you might only get 3 powers based on the way the UI looks. Massive L if that's the case, but I'll reserve judgement until the game releases and we know for sure.
I might not do something this crazy again so I hope yall enjoy it ! My biggest concern about this game is party managment after I finished the video I saw that their is a leak that confirms we only get two squadmates not 3 and it looks like we get a wheel like in mass effect rather than dragon age. Im really disappointed in that but you have a point maybe we can still see some insane squad combos!
I will be honest i was harsh on the trailer. But it seems they kept at least the dark story as we see innocent people getting taken our but what i can only assume are rage demons. But in my opinion. I think the veilguard pride demon fight looked more flashy and a harder fight. But the inquisition pride demon fight shows us that the inquisitor would never truly be alone and would have backup supporting them with all the soldiers and mages being at that location. But having just fought sloth myself i suspect one of those figures and the look at solas’ face tells me that the demon gods are trying to breach the veil. Much like feared tried to do with the wardens. And i suspect the warden will have some words to say about what happened down south.
Very good takes I like how you showed the positives of both fights !
No, thank you. Im good. Harding kinda hot though. I play it on youtube when it'll come out and see from there. So far, as expected, hard pass.
Harding is a baddie
ORIGINS ARE FUCKING BACK BABY! YES~~~~~!
For me the gameplay is a little bit let down after years this is what they could muster is kind of concerning. For me the dragon age lore changed so drastically it's not possible for me to wrap around that veil guard is in the same world that dragon age origins were. Entire gameplay i would say it's fine but not the worth the hype.
Great enemy designs!? The demons look like they came from Destiny 2's Light Fall DLC, bright and messy!
I don't know destiny but besides the pride demon I like the variety of the designs so far and the fire on the demons at the start looked great and have come a long way from the demons of origins. I guess design is subjective overall graphics are the least important thing to me
@@CommanderFawkes I like to think that their might be a lore reason for why the demons look different. Perhaps Solas has partly torn down the vale, and that has affected how things like demons and magic look?
@@danck941 That's a interesting therory!
I don’t know it just didn’t appeal to me I miss the strategy element and the dark fantasy element I loved seems to be leaving with every new installment
I feel you on that the changes every game seem to drift further and further from the original
I'll be honest. Im not enjoying what I'm seeing. Guess im just too much of an "origins purist" to really be hyped by this trailer. But also, is it really too much to ask that we get a true sequel and have our previous player character along with a few companions from the previous installment make a return vs having a whole new protagonist and cast of companions
Im a origins purist too it’s my top game of all time and while I want that level of writing and charecter elements as origins I would prefer different character’s every game so we can experience more than the same 9 characters. If the writing and passion is there new experiences are good . However if you drift too far from those themes you have something unrecognizable
What I find the most concerning about ANY new game coming from BioWare is the low expectations that are already set. Even if the new game is DECENT it will still underperform to what the actual audience for these games market to. Look at baldur’s gate, red dead redemption 2, potentially even the newest GTA release, they all have very in-depth gameplay, a cohesive design principles and immersive gameplay. That’s what the average gamer wants these days, just by on the sheer number of sales. Couple that with the fact almost no one at BioWare are actual senior staff or long time developers, game has had god knows how many builds/revisions, it is just not looking good.
New game releases have definitely left me burnt out too from Andromeda years ago too payday 3 just a few months ago. I think Baulders gate 3 gave me a glimmer of hope and being a now competitor of bg 3 dragon age may take the hint to shift the series. However I have cautious optimism only and I will not let myself fall into any expectation untill the finished product
I'll be honest this game so far has me deeply concerned. I'm not too sure where I stand on it yet, but I think that is normal.
It’s hard to say but the game still has a few months left in development so I’ll reserve till then but the gameplay changes are concerning
I’ve always been concerned since I heard that the devs wanted to make it play like God of War. I really just want to see difficult combats beyond this, but more than that I want to see tactical gameplay. I just don’t know. If the gameplay is unsatisfying then I’m praying for a good Dragon Age story.
I gotta be the only person that doesn't just LOVE Varric 😑
I don’t like love Varric he’s no where near my favorite even in my DA 2 analysis I put him third or 4th their but I think he is a good character. What bothers me about him is how much BioWare keeps putting him in the spotlight im not sure he needed to be a companion in inquisition or be put front and center in all the veilguard promotions. He is a good character I just wish BioWare let the man retire or take a back role like Morrigan or leliana
I have basically no hope this will be good. This opening seems like the most generic, committee-designed slop ever. They still haven’t topped Dragon Age: Origins, IMO.
Cautious optimism is the best way to go as expectations good and bad can be the death of any product. I dont belive we will ever get a game as great as origins in this day and age but they can take enough inspiration and themes from that game to still create something great.
@@CommanderFawkes I find it’s best to be expecting the worst. That way, if it’s bad, you’re not disappointed and, if it’s good, you’re pleasantly surprised.
Im liking what im seeing from a pure upgrade from Inquisition perspective myself
@@lewd2851 I can see that being the case, sure. Inquisition was at least better than 2. If Veilguard (should have stayed as Dreadwolf but whatever) is better than Inquisition then I’ll be happy.
I just hope they don’t just become Mass Effect. I don’t like Mass Effect. I like Dragon Age.
@@Ubersupersloth I'm a huge fan of Mass Effect so any overlap is a bonus to me, but i can see why it'd be off putting to someone who wants a more pure DA experience
