If people want a teen fantasy romp with limited choice and consequence, as well as samey action combat, then brilliant. I'm glad for them. I don't want that from a BIOWARE game.
@@iROHxoMass Effect and Dragon Age were not “better” because of nostalgia. They were literally ahead of the curve when it came to choices and writing. Has nothing to do with memories.
As a long time fan of the series and lore that authors like Drew Karpyshyn and others made. It’s so frustrating to hear someone like yourself which takes a look ta a game like origins and don’t give it any credit it deserves. You say you disliked origins because the combat and slow pacing of the game, yet that was the entire point. It’s a spiritual successor of the baldurs gates games in the early action game era. It’s almost like complaining that super Mario on nes just doesn’t isn’t worth it because of the graphics, when at the time that was peak technology. Either way it’s baffling to me that people will come into this series and say yeah I hated the first three games and never played them that much but you should trust me that this game is a good dragon age game.
He didn't say he disliked Origins combat, he just states DA has always been sorta "niche" and the following games never did figure out exactly what they want to do with the combat in particular. That's just an objectively true statement. Origins is easily one of my favorite RPGs of all time but it definitely lacked in the combat, in MY opinion, but so does BG3 etc. Those games were not fun because of their combat I'll just leave it that
This is why gaming reviews and people that put way too much emphasis on them is so bad. People exaggerate what they're even saying to begin with. No where in this video, not a single time, did he say he hated the other DA games. Matter of fact he deliberately states this DA is weaker in some elements that the others excel in. You watched his take on the combat, barely listened to what he said, left a comment then bounced.
@@SagaOfDoom 1) You're absolutely correct he didn't say he disliked origins combat he just heavily implied it by calling it weird and bad and then proceeded to talk about how this combat is the best in the series while still saying that its only really a slight bit better than Hogwarts Legacy. ( I cant tell if that means good or not since he never really says its good just better than the other games). 2) I don't know what rock you both were under but objectively the Dragon age series including origins is definitely not a niche or even sorta niche, it came out to critical acclaim it was Biowares largest selling entity at one point and I think it still is, third party books aren't written about niche video games, You actually are just wrong about this one. 3) You are right about them changing the combat from game to game but that has been a huge criticism from fans already and doesn't prove your point like you think since even though this game did do well in sales, it definitely isn't being called the game of the decade like BG3 (you know that apparently "not fun" top down/ isometric approach to combat is just apart of one of the best games of the decades). 4) I respect that you can say personally you just don't care for the combat system in games like origins and BG3 but that is not what this video is saying and that's not how you started off, some things are objectively true like they have changed the combat in every game, but to then say because the other games were objectively worse and niche is quite literally not backed up by any fact. not to mention that is what he is doing in this entire video while complaining that others are being biased and not understanding. As an example he complains about reviewers but then uses Asmongold as his proof? like c'mon he isn't even a reviewer and is literally just there for clickbait shit. Sure there are people who hate the game because wokeness but there's also reviews like Fextralife and Skill ups, Hell even Mortisamal gaming. To me it sounds like he is complaining about the echo-chamber he has surrounded himself in and is now the only evidence he is arguing against. All of this is to say I don't care what his opinions on the game are, I care that he portrays them as objective fact and that others are being biased while he clearly is as well. Love the game all you want just don't hate on others because they disagree with your supposed objective facts.
@@SagaOfDoom Kind of like you did with my comment, I said "people" kind of like the people on the steam reviews that he references in the video, also how the fuck do you think I came to my opinion? You just discount it right off the bat thinking that I got my opinion from reviews and not playing the game myself. Its funny you shit on me for my opinion that I got from playing the actual game but not on the guy who is clearly talking about an echo-chamber of reviews that he is listening to, who at the point of this video hadn't even completed the damn game.
Oooh dear....where should I start? 1. The argument that many people worked on this game is bad one. What matters is the quality at the end. You also don't have to be a porgrammer or designer to criticise games. You as (potential) consumer or fan have the right to dislike the game for what it is no matte rif you a plumer or game designer. 2."Dragon Age was never massive appealing game" This is nonsense. Dragon Age: Inquistion sold more than 10 Million copies. 3. "I don't care about dialogs or story". What a thing to say when story and dialogs are the two main parts of the series and in general RPG games. 4. "The characters were always weird looking". The reason for that was technical limitations for the most part. What people don't like is not the technical part but the art style: characters look like Marvel/Pixar inspired characters with big heads and comic like. 5. "Why is it bad to have campaigns wheel?". That is not the critque point. The criticism is to have a compaign wheel AND not able to control your characters so you can't checkout different classes. I mean your team mates don't even have health bars and don't die. 6. The wheel to chosse "Gender Identity" options. Yes, that menu doesn't allow to chosse anything but transgender related despite the menu name "Gender Identitiy" options". The description even says that lol. What about non-binary, agender, man, women etc. There are so many genders. They don't provide you these options specifically but only the option "decline transgender". 7. "Reptetive combat, but other games have also repetetive combat" No, many other RPG games don't have reptitive combat like DA:V has and that's because for different reasons: You can't control your team mates which decreases the variety in combat, the enemies have a small number of attack patterns, the wide range weapon/sattacks have no advantages, etc. That's not a mistery as you claimed but the lack of understanding from your side. 8. "If someone says the game is ugly they just don't know what beatiful is". Again you don't understand the difference between artstyle and technical design. What many people dislike is the artstyle (comic like art style, big heads, mobile phone game style for the hud, overusage of the color purple etc) not the technical part (polycont, well detailed characters,, hair physics etc) Now just look how many negative things you listed about the game: Story, dialog, no ambient sound effects, overpowered and repetitive combat. On the positive side you mentioned exploration, graphics and icons look great. BTW Final Fantasy 16 has bad exploration options so it doesn't make DA:V exploration great or good with the linear and gamy level design. So overall you mentioned much more negative stuff in the core elements of a RPG and/or story driven game but you still claim it's the best DA game. Your whole video lacks of knowledge and understanding about gameplay, character design and the series. What a bad take... edit: Checkout my second response to iROHxo in the comments below
@takeyourtime3328 1. Yes, but without playing the game, you don’t know what it is. On top of that, if you are making videos for your many viewers who want to jump on criticism and ruin some franchise, that’s wrong. Nobody says you have to buy it. Also, memories of previous Dragon Age games seem better than they actually were. 2. Compared to AC Black Flag, which was released the year before if I remember correctly, sold 15 million. The Witcher 3 sold 50 million, and Fallout 4 sold 25 million, and so on. So it was popular, but not as much as others. 3.Well, if you go back and try the dialogue again in previous Dragon Age games, they were bad before as well, if you ask me. 4.Yes, again, go and look. Compared to the games released at that time, Dragon Age characters look like they are made of plastic and are being animated by someone, like toys in Toy Story. Both body and facial movements, as well as stylistically, are lacking. Vanguard characters don’t look like they belong in Pixar movies, go check Pixar movies. 5. Do you really want your AI teammate to have an HP bar? Do you UNIRONICALLY want to press a key to revive them every now and then? Come on now... 7. What do you mean by you can’t control your teammates? You can control your teammates abilities like in other DA or Mass Effect games you have the wrong information. I feel like you haven’t played the game. A small number of attacks? Warhammer 40k, which is praised for superb combat, has more than a few enemy attacks? Do you want to go and count? Or enemy types? Lol. 8. No, I understand the visuals perfectly in this game, and I’m not talking about the technical side. The artistic visuals, lighting, and so on are very good.
@@annonjames2438 Do you struggle with reading? Anything beyond a couple sentences overwhelms you? Well I guess Veiltard will be right up your alley👍 None of that pesky reading and thinking crap required. Just sit back and watch the movie with some repetitive child level combat here and there.
@@annonjames2438 People can read. Just because reading is tiring to you does not mean it is tiring to everyone else. Now go solve some puzzles in Dragon Age The FAILguard.
Well ,being honest and then attacking other reviewers which you have zero proof of why they said what they said, its not so honest. And saying older DA games had very very weird combat system is actually very subjective.
The only reviewer he "attacked" was Asmongold for straight up lying to his followers about the hand mirror cutscene just so he could exaggerate the trans thing in this game for click bait. He absolutely did that..."zero proof" is just smoke
@SagaOfDoom What about Taash, Asmon barely played couple of hours, I've played the whole game. Taash whole story and side quests are about her feelings and gender. It's same with STALKER 2 man. Most reviewers never played the original trilogy and yet, they are complaining about the things that were always included in the older games. Nobody takes reviewers seriously, if people like some game they will play it. In just 4 days sold more copies then Veilguard and that is just on Steam.
@LoneWolfFromEast Asmon played the whole game on week 1 and gave it a 7/10. So idk what you're on about. Good thing you can harden her character, cause I hate her personality anyway. Hardening her btw makes her not a tranny. Lest we forget, Krem was all about her gender as well. Not every companion is gonna be grand (Merril?) Copies sold we don't actually know yet, but I wouldn't care regardless. When you have a game that receives this much hate based on woke stuff 12 days before launch it's gonna effect sales. There's a reason why the vast majority of positive reviews are all from people who played it past hour 8. Mass hatred for the "woke" shit that they either did or didn't know you can virtually avoid killed the sales. Is what it is. Doesn't change how I view the game.
What you say about the game at the start is true only for combat. But many DA fans couldn't care less about it. The fact many people worked about this game doesn't necessarily make it good. That's a silly point. You speak of fairness but raising this point is unfair. Speaking of unfair - shitting on dragon age origins to make this game looks less bad. That's a new level of unfair, that's kinda deplorable. The big strawmmaning is here too- using the bad actors to discredit all criticism is bad. Agreed about the writing. I have some serious doubts you are a dragon age fan but I might be mistaken, it's just very weird you wouldn't know who are the Antivan Crows. The combat is not so good. And again you go with the "let's pretend good games are bad to make this game look better instead of explaining how it's better" attitude. Fair my ass.
No matter who says what, players like you always complain. To know if game is good or not, you need to make comparisons. If you're not comparing, then you're measuring it against your imagination of what the game could or should be. I'm not a huge fan of Dragon Age, but I've played all of them, and to say the other Dragon Age games were better compared to The Veilguard is just ridiculous. When I say you should consider the effort put into making this or any game, that's a very valid point. As a solo developer, it would take five lifetimes to make a game like this, it’s a tremendous group effort and people shouldn’t criticize it based on less than an hour of gameplay or, even worse, just by watching a compressed YT video from someone who hasn’t played the game because they didn’t get a review key.
@@scarocci7333 Even if they were more relevant, why would I remember the faction names from years ago? I'm not a superfan, but I've played every Dragon Age game and I play every new game...
You are literally pretending this game with above average reviews and likely the best selling Dragon Age game is a bad game to make your point. You're in complete bad faith and it's obvious. You guys think it's "unfair" to compare this game to previous games in the same series while also comparing this game to every other RPG on the market. Please start making sense.
It pretty simple, its not a role playing game like Da3. It is an action /adventure game more like GOW with mass effect elements. I personally am enjoying it 20 hours in. It is really a different type of game. Which is ok for me, but maybe not hard core fans.
The fact that you mentioned gameplay as a way to say this is the best dragon age game to have been released, tells me you have no idea why people even liked Dragon Age in the past. And I'm fairly new to dragon age myself. This game is not good
Basically, you agree with much of the negative reviews, just not the anti-woke vitriol. Fair take. I'm there too. This is kinda what I'm seeing: decent, good looking game, but not an amazing story experience (what we expect from BW) and above-average game play. IMO, seems like a decent pickup on sale. No big deal. Still, I'm in the camp that wants to see everyone feel like they can RP a character that looks and feels like their idealized self. So I love the DEI awareness overall that's coming to gaming 100%. But I think it was an odd game-design choice in this game to put some of the LGBTQ stuff I've seen so far in here. Again, not b/c I have a problem with it - I don't at all - but b/c it just seems so unnaturally forced. Doesn't advance any character or add depth. Doesn't advance the narrative. Just added random extra words to check a box. And I think this is people's main issue with the so-called "woke" agenda -- the lack of authenticity. I want to see more inclusion in games, including racial, gender, and LGBTQ. But if it's inauthentic like this, just forget it, bc it does more harm than good...
The overwhelming majority of people complaining about it don’t have any personal problems with anyone in the LGBT community. They just don’t like when they’re slapped in the face with it by writers that are nowhere near skilled enough to write that kind of character well or do the issues they’re facing justice.
The best thing about this game, is the optimization... which should be a given considering the game has been in development for almost 10 years. Level design and set pieces are looking great, lighting is also pretty good. Combat is okay-ish, tried to mimic god of war, but nothing to write home about when all you gotta do is basically roll your face on the keyboard and keep moving forward. Character creation is OVERBLOWN. The only good thing in the character creation is the head part where you can actually make unique faces according to your likings... But the body modification is a joke. Height is also a joke, tried to make the most tall and buff human i could... and he looks like a halfling twink, you really can't make this ish up. Party members got no health bar and they are basically ghosts with zero presence since everyone just attacks you, you can't use them or issue them actual specific orders except for using a couple of skills... what the actual f.? Dialogues are deceivingly OKAYISH for the first couple of hours or so... then they quickly and progressively get dumbed down and start diving into current day california territory. Writing is utter trash and breaks immersion every time.... we are in Thedas... trying to deal with some freaking world ending events and my companions first world problems are apparently their pronouns, non-binarism and how it sucks to not feel comfortable in your own skin... Y I K E S. Art style (characters and enemies) is anything but dragon age... they look like they came out of a Pixar movie and is extremely goofy and off putting if you take the setting of the story into consideration. Final pet peeve, i don't need the game to hold my hand, spoon feed me or treat me like a toddler. Doesn't matter if you are in your early teens or you are a full blown adult, this is extremely patronizing, i don't want to play a game that patronizes me, i am playing games for escapism, bringing all that current day bs along with a patronizing behavior, makes me believe you think of all your customers as brain damaged individuals. I'd summarize this game as "Identifies as Dragon age"
I actually like the graphics and presentation. The game is beautiful. I just don't enjoy people shoving gender ideology down my throat. That's insanity on so many levels that I can't even account for.
How is it forced? What even is gender ideology? Stop representing the game as if it’s a transgender simulator 🙄. Furthermore, this would have to be the first BioWare game you’d ever played to be surprised about “inclusive “ themes.
@@redletterl78 here’s my full review to help you understand my perspective my thoughts after 20 hours: -environments are beautiful -Don’t love the change in art style, especially the almost-cartoony character designs; would prefer a more grounded, darker, grittier, visual tone (and tone overall tbh). -Combat is more satisfying to play that it is to watch. That said, I can see it getting stale into the later hours and I already have concerns about enemy variety. Combat can also feel a little floaty, like I’m not really _connecting_ with the enemies sometimes. -Skill animations are pretty, but can cause too much visual clutter. Sometimes I lose track of what enemies are actually _doing_ -I don’t like all the looting, especially for tiny amounts of money and crafting materials. Wish exploring for treasure felt more exciting and rewarding, instead it just feels like a chore because I have FOMO -Weapons, armor, loadout options feel impactful and varied. Designs look distinctive and lend a sense of character…I love the transmog too! -As good of a character creator as you could hope for. Lots of options. Hair in particular just looks fantastic (maybe best I’ve seen). Could maybe use some more variety in the voices, but understandable considering the game is fully voiced. -Ditto for the skill trees, Player char and companions. Will be fun to experiment more. -Musical score is serviceable but ultimately forgettable. None of the songs will stick in my head (I compare to something like FF16, where I want to go add themes to my Spotify playlist 😅) -Overall story is fine so far, but wish storytelling was more nuanced…I.e. more “show” and less “tell” -Dialogue is the weakest point of the game. Voice acting is good, even great at times; I’m really criticizing the writing itself. While there are some exceptions, conversations tend to feel stiff, forced, and struggle to maintain a logical flow, which unfortunately can be immersion-breaking for me at times. Larger plot sequences are handled with a bit more grace, but I find myself struggling to enjoy the more routine dialogues, companion dialogues, etc. -Specifially want to call out the player character dialogue options because they either a) don’t offer the option I’d prefer or b) have little to no impact (outside of obvious, required critical choices). I feel railroaded. Like it or not, after the freedom I experienced in BG3, it’s going to be hard for any RPG not to draw comparisons. -Performance is excellent on PS5. No notes here. Stating again: the game is gorgeous, any way you slice it. My hopes for this one were high, but this game fell a bit short imo. While aspects of the game are excellent, my last couple points of criticism, combined with elements that were just okay combine to a final score of: 6/10
@@redletterl78"By forced" They mean the game literally forces you to agree with it. Your character's only dialogue options are to support it and approve of it.
The gameplay impressions from this game will turn off the core dragon age audience. I was originally going to skip this because the combat reminded me of a mobile game and it felt like a departure from dark fantasy settings. But later after seeing examples of the writing, I felt that this game was definitely not targeted towards people like me.
I find the notion of customers who paid 70 dollars or more for a corporate product having to be nice and fair about their critisism because people worked long and hard. You're almost treating it as if this game was a present to us all that they didn't get paid for and are giving to us for free and we are being meanies about it. The truth is people paid 70 or 80 bucks and waited for 10 years and feel like they got duped by the studio. Because we didn't get and RPG, we got a friend s3x and comming out as tran5 simulator instead. People didn't play that long because then they couldn't ask for a refund. So by your logic, first they have to be fully duped and then they have the right to complain, but they still better be nice about it. I could not disagree more.
It's just not dragon age period. Dragon age fans are not gonna like it. I played 10 painfull hours and I stopped. People don't have to play the game to see that it's not it. There's gameplay u can see and understand how it plays and what it's gonna be. What the game shows u that's what it is. I'm not even gonna talk about the Trans stuff. We tryna save people money and time. Plus I think we should be looking at journalst rather than RUclips reviewers. 10 and 9s with all it's issues that yourself even listed. All the praise just cause u can be a Trans character. Makes me so upset what they did to the franchise. You are probably the first reviewers that don't have a problem with the character visuals. Thats interesting I can't look at the qunary. Good take and good review.
What I find interesting or really annoying in this game that it has almost everything in purple color. So its background, mini map, tactical screen, pride demon the antivan crows at 6:20 (heck even that chair is purple) Outfits look amazing I'm just sick of seeing the same color over and over again. The game looks visually beautiful and past Dragon age games were bland in that field but that's why they had a good story, character interactions etc.. This new Veilguard is all about the looks and no brains apparently. I'm still looking for a good reason to buy this game and it's not looking good so far..
Like I said, if you haven't played it, you just don't know what it actually is but it's obviously up to you, personally I only listen to review for entertainment reasons. But yes, it's very purple, and for me personally, the most annoying thing is that the marker/indicator of where to go is way too big and also animated.
I agree about gameplay, you cannot judge gameplay without playing it. However, some things like the tone are easy to judge and I personally decided this isn't a game I want to play as I enjoyed the drak/gritty elements of DA:O. I feel disappointed that this is the way they took the DA franchise but no hate for the game or the creators. Another important thing - yes a lot of work was put into this game and you should be fair in your critic, but this isn't your friends this is a company selling you a product. As a costumer you judge a product by the perceived value. If you go to a restaurant and the food isn't to your liking would you continue going over and recommend it to your friends just because the cheff worked so hard? No you wouldn't. Why are video games any different?
I agree with the first part of the comment but not the second, and I’ll explain why. Making food in a restaurant doesn’t take 5+ years, hundreds of talented people, huge investments, or a large group effort. When you have all of these factors involved, you also need massive coordination, management and most importantly, you’re taking on significant risk. The issue here is that yes you can say, 'I don’t like this meal' and choose not to return or recommend the restaurant to friends. But in gaming, people collectively create videos to basically damage a game and a company, often based on whims or personal expectations that weren’t met. or even worse like now, unfairly criticizing a game just because they didn’t get an early review key. Personally, I might have also preferred Origins dark or even darker and more horror like fantasy setting. But ultimately, gaming is a gift, and sometimes I can’t believe these teams manage to create such massive projects.
@@iROHxo First we both agree that your criticism should be fair. However, when they attached the DA IP to this product they did that to increase sales as it connects to previously beloved games. As such, judging it according to these expectations is fair as they are the ones that introduced these expectations when they called it dragon age. Regarding the restaurant example, you are missing the point so lets go with another example - cars take years to design and a huge team effort. Would you buy a subpar car just because the team worked hard? No. You would judge what car is best and go by that. Making some assumptions here but I think that because the devs gave you a great experience you feel connected to them and that is why you value their effort. However, this isn't between you and the dev, this is between you and a multi-billion dollar corporation that wants your money. EA, and most big corporations don't give a **** about you as a costumer or about the devs as works, they only care about their bottom line (as the recent layoffs showed). It makes as much sense to defend this game just because the devs worked hard as it is to defend a car manufacturer the designed a crappy car just because the engineers worked hard. You should buy a game if you think it is worth your time and money. Work put into it shouldn't be a factor.
@@ethanfetaya 1. So you think this game is so different from Dragon Age that it shouldn't even have that name? You haven't played it, right? 2.Even if it’s cars, cars are not as culturally impactful and sensitive as games, but okay, I understand your point. 3. Well, what is now known as big corporations like EA and Ubisoft were once just mid-sized development companies. For some reason without 'going into the details' like big tech companies, they hired a lot of people for little reasons, and when they laid them off, it looked like they cared more about themselves than about the developers. Making games is very expensive, even for big corporations, and these corporations are owned by multiple investment firms asking for returns. It’s very hard to balance everything between expectations, culture, current trends, someone’s memories, competition, timing, and investors. Yes, you don’t have to feel pity for them, I don’t feel pity either. If they don’t listen to gamers, they should not make any sales. But my point was about unfair criticism, and not just criticism, but a coordinated attack, which can have a significant impact on a company and funniest thing is game is not bad at all even compared to other RPG's released in recent years.
The story does get quite dark at times. Even early game there is a disturbing location you have to visit. It's rated mature for a reason. The writing isn't so good between the companions, but the combat is the best its been in the series. It should be really seeing as it's the latest game. A lot of these channels hating on the game are giving a skewed view imo.
@@iROHxoI just don’t understand the logic, if people don’t like the direction the game & the western gaming industry is going they can’t complain because games take hard work? Consumers aren’t responsible for failed products. If the constant bad feedback from the content creators for the woke elements actually impacts the sales in a meaningful way then that’s the customers saying they don’t want it.
True that there are disenginous reviews and videos from all sides. But then again, the developers, corporations and vocal DA community members started this modern political talking points and it has been happening for a decade now. I am not a fan of that and Its only fair the blowback happens. In the end everybody loose, especially fans of the franchise, sadly. Also I dont agree with your opinion that Masseffect and Dragon age being wierd and niche, because they are regarded as one of the best games in RPG genre by many. The repetitive combat has been a thing since Inquisitions spongy enemies and combat design. I dont really like that aspect compared to the previous 2 games. Graphics and stylistics are good enough for rpg however, the female characters designs are indeed ESG standardized and corporate since Inquisition. This time, looks like even more so, corporate, censored, disabled, diverse and child friendly meanwhile the rating of the game is 17+ and legacy being realisitc dark fantasy. The same can be said about the game dialogue too, verry similar to Andromeda.
Well, we live in complicated cultural times, so... thanks for the comment! but I won’t get into a discussion because I’ve been doing this all day already.
@iROHxo Same. I have been endlessly and piontlessly debating about it all for at least a decade now. No point adding more fuel to the fire. I have my personal concern, bias, and critique, but as a fan of the franchise, i am ready to support Bioware again if they allow mods or patches to customize or fix the game like CD Project Red did with Cyberpunk 2077.
I bought the game and made selections to avoid the woke stuff. However I got bored very early on. Its pretty and I like the skill tree but the dialogue and story didn't capture me and I can't pick the controller back up to play more.
bro you need to play some good rpgs. my recommendation .. start with Masseffect series or BG 3. and you need to play Dragon age origins before saying this game is the best in the series. this in not god of war type game. and btw i have 16 hours clocked into this game already.

Dragon Age is dark fantasy. Dragon Age: Veilguard is toxic positivity. An RPG is supposed to immerse you in the world and lore. The director, who is trans, literally directed a game that is based off of his skewed life experience. It’s cringe.
My biggest problems are the incredibly bad writing and the Toy story doll character design. The characters are almost all really ugly. The presets in the character creator all look like trans characters. There are little to no hairstyles for white men, most of them are for women and poc. Every character looks like they’ve been mewing for years while a chiseled jawline and cheekbones that could cut rock. Gameplay is good and I like the overall story so far. Everything else is kinda ass
combat and combat animations look good. mage actually looks fun and i never play mages. environments and lighting look incredible. qunari look stupid af. i still give this game a 6/10 i love dark fantasy, but this doesnt resemble dark fantasy much at all, all of the companions suck imo. no one seems badass, not one of them seems to belong in a M rated dark fantasy setting. the witcher is dark fantasy and so are many of the characters. the clearly leftist inspired characters are cringe and annoying and so are child characters/companions in every rpg ive ever played. companions have no health stat and the fact you cant switch between companions is dumb af. i loved dragon age orgins but this game isnt it. this game clearly isnt made for dragon age origin fans, and is more for the newer liberal generations and the "modern audience". biowares is a completely new studio. RIP bioware.
[Sarcasm Mode ON] Oh I see, all the videos I saw and the dialogues that the game is lecturing the players for wrong use of pronouns is a lie now because you are saying this. Humm I understand now that I am really crazy all the rest of the world is wrong and lying because you say so.... I understand now. [SARCASM MODE OFF] Not a good start to the channel. Many people received a review copy, other people already bought the game on steam and now you are saying nobody has played yet?
Well, first of all, you really have to check who you’re subscribed to because it seems like you’re watching trolls who unfairly criticize and try to destroy things. In my nine hour playthrough so far, there hasn’t been a single 'woke' dialogue, so it’s very clear to me that the content you're seeing is being shown to you very selectively.
there is literally ONE scene in a 50-60-70 hours game about pronouns and the vast majority of people wont even experience it in their playthrough. You really need to reevaluate your priorities if this is what bothers you so much
So, a dark fantasy story driven rpg is now a poorly written action adventure game with rpg elements? Why would Origins fans be happy with that? Mass Effect 2 changed the combat system, but it still felt like Mass Effect.
This game is awesome, had a moment where I was fighting some blight monster thingy close range and one of his buds threw a javelin at me when I was not looking, I saw it last second and deflected it back at him mid combo... It was just an awesome moment. The combat is sooo fluid and I love the influence of Mass Effects primers and detonators.
Too many hates from this youtubers just for sake of clickbait. I really enjoying this game. I have so far played for 7 hours into the game and will continue to play until its finished.
You are 100% correct! It’s a breath of fresh air that someone takes a stand against all this nonsense about this game…I love this game and want to tell all these haters to stop the rhetoric.
The amount of “sheep” that were just riding the hate train based off of one or two of their favorite RUclips creators is insane to me. Especially when all signs pointed towards this being one of the games that you might need to play for yourself to form an opinion. Due to all the high positive reviews and negative reviews. There was nothing in the middle. My biggest complaint with it is I do feel that some of the writing is lacking. Not all the time. But there are moments where I think things could’ve been written much better.
This game is great. It is a different Dragon Age, as every other installment of this series was. This one is as good as any of the previous (if not better). There are two main reasons for all these cry babies spending their entire days talking b_s about this game: 1 - anti-woke stupidity (yeah, for these little snowflakes, if you have few OPTIONAL dialogues/quest and an OPTION to role play as a trans person, their masculinity is automatically being oppressed), and 2 - the lack of something better to do. These people could be ignoring Veilguard and playing Dragon Age Origins right now (since they wanted a duplicate of this game), but attacking something that other people like is more important for them than playing a game that they supposedly love so much. And you are totally right: just as there are aspects that Veilguard implements worse than previous game (like the lack of a darker tone ), there is a lot of things Veilguard does better, but the nolstalgia and ideology of many hide this fact or belittle it in every analysis they make.
Veilguard is objectively nowhere near the same level as the previous dragon age games. It’s way lower. The biggest problem with the taash stuff like the push-ups is how badly written and cheesy it is. If the people writing these (Most likely self insert) lgbt characters had any semblance of skill and wrote them with any sense of nuance it would be a completely different story. But instead the players of an M rated game about gods wanting to destroy the planet get preached like they’re elementary school children Not to mention the Disney Channel dialogue. Tell me why after a slight setback. I had to have a pep talk with my team and say “we can do this if we all work together” Am I a five-year-old doing trust exercises or am I the leader of a team trying to stop the world from ending?
@huskycruxes7232 ah yeah, lets narrow the entire game down to these parts that IN YOUR OPINION are bad writing and determine it as "objective" to compare games based on NOTHING. Perfect! Thank you for being a solid example of what I mentioned in my comment. Very kind of you.
@ it is objectively worse than the other dragon age games. It’s also a completely different game. The first three being a real time with pause, while VG is strictly action based. That alone makes it a worse RPG when compared to any of the previous three games. You can’t control your party members anymore, you can’t use the tactics to customize what your party members did and when they did it. The choices you made in the previous games just don’t matter anymore and that was one of the best parts about dragon age. The series was built on your choices mattering through them all and when it came to the finale of that story they just..left practically all of it out. A ton of the depth and systems are straight up gone. Dragon age Veilguard is objectively a worse, dragon age game than the other ones based on most people‘s experience with the other games. the only thing really tying this game to dragon age is the lore and the games title. Everything else is completely different. From the tone to the art style and the general gameplay. It can be a great game. But it will always be a terrible dragon age game to anyone that grew up with series. Y’all new fans just can’t see what you lost
@@huskycruxes7232 "yall new fans" ahhaahahha do you know me? Know what I have played before? Your arrogance keeps being the example of what I'm talking about. The fact that this game is DIFFERENT does not mean it is WORSE (and your usage of the word "objectively" is just a fallacy that proves nothing). A lot of different things this game does are actually improvements for other players. For instance, a lot of people used companions just to use specific skills and detonate combos. For these people Veilguard made this process MUCH better. It is totally SUBJECTIVE. There is nothing objective about. Your opinion is not the ultimate truth. Sorry.
@ in what way is taking out 90% of the character and game systems depth a good thing? Hell I’m the one who plays origins on the easiest difficulty specifically so I didn’t have to control my party members and I still miss its inclusion. To me because what the game has done and how dumbed down it is, it is worse than the other games. But really that’s a criticism for the entire rpg genre. Every rpg gets dumbed down for its sequels It’s happened to mass effect, dragons age, elder scrolls, fallout, and the Witcher. Those are the biggest “RPGs” of our time too. BG3 is an anomaly we’re not gonna see again for a long time
Don’t worry everyone hated inquisition when it released and even went as far as saying it wasn’t dragon age Then It got game of the year now it’s beloved by fans This will be the same.
@@jonesygrets6029 And DAI had weird dialogue too 😅 I mean the “What’s going on here” when walking in on a dark magic ritual was kinda unintentionally funny 🤣
Thats the wrong issue yes if that angers you then fine but the issue i see is a ip that used to be dark fantasy seems like a disney movie now which is fine but now players expecting a DA game feel cheated or left behind by a company going for a "modern audience". Never in thedas did i think id hear about non binary issues in my game about sealed elvern gods who were seperated from our world into a viod because of how abhurant they were to their people. Just doesnt seem dragon age like to me
I agree woth you that it is pretty sad that people make it a hobby to trash on games they haven’t played. I don’t mean long time da fans, that want a different tone. I mean all the woke hater trolls which really swept about this game like the blight itself. I am a longtime da fan and I really like veilguard so far (7 hours in so far). It might not be perfect but it’s still a joy to play. For me at least.
same for me played DA:O for 700 hours and the other 2 games for about 300 hours and yes the RPG element is toned down sadly but I'm having so much fun in that game I would rate it a 8.5 atm played it for 30 hours and I'm playing slow ^^
Just because yall like bad games doesn't mean everyone else has to like bad games to. Nothing wrong with liking bad games but the game is not good especially compared to older titles in the series.
We live in complicated times where, too often, whoever speaks first is seen as telling the truth, regardless of what they say. People seem to have lost the ability to think independently. But at least now we can see more clearly who is who, for example like you said on Steam, we can check how many hours a player has spent on a game before criticizing or praising it.
This review isnt anything new...You are the 10000th person to say the dialogue and writing is utter garbage but its pretty and has good gameplay. This game was made for children, which makes the forced trans ideological messaging even more egregious. They literally changed the tone and gameplay of this game to target a young / immature audience and then filled it with forced trans ideology you cant skip. No one would of complained about having a non binary character in the game, or gay relationships...Cyberpunk and BG3 did it just fine. What people complain about is the forced messaging you have to agree with that is not skippable and is not a small part of the story. The game lead just self inserted into the game to air their grievances and we have to pay the price for it...well, you, I would never buy this game. On top of that EA and large journalists colluded to get more people to buy this game under false pretenses. Now that they have gotten away with skewing reviews, withholding information they will do it again and worse than this time. There is a much bigger problem with this whole situation than "omgerd gays in the game" ... Theres indoctrination and market manipulation like we have never seen before...and this was a litmus test to see how far they could push and get away with it. Everyone is ok with how things are going until it finally pushes past where they are comfortable...some sooner than later but it always goes further and further...so you might be ok now, then next time its past where you are comfortable...and youll wonder how it got here. People that gave crap like this a pass this time is how it got there.
2 minutes in and you're already way over most people's heads when talking about project management and finance, these people don't understand development or care, they think these things are simple and easy, and don't appreciate the effort and art put into these games. That's why it's easy for them to say "oh it looks like Pixar" when there's not a single Pixar movie that even has proportional characters. People saying they don't care if the combat is good or not are in the vast minority whether they realize it or not. Aside from a very few select games, most people do not take story over gameplay, we play games to PLAY them. There's a reason why every DA game had shaky releases and never hit mass popularity like Mass Effect, it's because Mass Effect is actually fun for people.
Well, it's very sad that people don't appreciate the effort that goes into creating games, whether it's this one or any other. Gaming, in general, is a gift. The problem is that because of this negativity, many companies may shut down, and aspiring developers who want to start creating games might never make a step, seeing how people prefer to tear down games and criticize rather than actually enjoy them is very sad. My suggestion to those people is this: if you remember another game as being better, just play it again, and you’ll quickly realize it’s often just nostalgia. One example is NFS Most Wanted, when people say it's the best NFS game... just play it again, buddy.
Mass Effect 1 had lackluster gameplay.. Matter of fact, it wasn't really till the 3rd entry that gameplay was somewhat cohesive and flowed nicely. Mass Effect had wide appeal, cause it was simply a great game, with incredible world building, character writing and innovation (At the time) in the industry, that being your progress carrying over to 2 other promised sequels. Sure NOWADAYS the vocal majority care a lot more about the "gameplay" (Which I guess means combat to most people, even though I'd argue engaging in dialogue and exploration or engaging in any game system a game has, aside from cutscenes is gameplay?..), but it was not always this way. I'm happy for you, that you enjoy the game, but you're reaching a bit on the Mass Effect bit.
I play games for good gameplay, simple as that. If i want really good writing i read a book from an author i like. Im having a really good time with veilguard. The combat is so addictive. Graphics, as in resolution, isn't that impressive, but the actual locations and sense of space are great. Im just about 60 and just so tired of these anti woke muppets. Great video mate, agree with a lot of your points.
@@mathiaschristensen1194 yeah no one liked Mass Effect's gameplay until the 3rd game sure whatever you need to tell yourself. Also most people would not agree that standing and doing dialogue trees over and over is gameplay, if they did we would consider any form of speaking in such a manner to be a "game" but we do not, societally, as humans, anywhere on the planet. There's a reason why games that ONLY have dialogue trees like this are called "visual novels"

Sometimes memories make things seem better than they actually were.
@@iROHxoboot up dragon origins pick the elf city origin play for just 2 hours (that’s all you need) and tell me this is a dragon age
@@iROHxoMass Effect and Dragon Age were not “better” because of nostalgia. They were literally ahead of the curve when it came to choices and writing. Has nothing to do with memories.
@@ewjiml a lot of games were ahead, nobody knows what happened... only speculations.
They threw any and all grit and depth out the window. There's none of the characteristic darkness left.
As a long time fan of the series and lore that authors like Drew Karpyshyn and others made. It’s so frustrating to hear someone like yourself which takes a look ta a game like origins and don’t give it any credit it deserves.
You say you disliked origins because the combat and slow pacing of the game, yet that was the entire point. It’s a spiritual successor of the baldurs gates games in the early action game era. It’s almost like complaining that super Mario on nes just doesn’t isn’t worth it because of the graphics, when at the time that was peak technology.
Either way it’s baffling to me that people will come into this series and say yeah I hated the first three games and never played them that much but you should trust me that this game is a good dragon age game.
He didn't say he disliked Origins combat, he just states DA has always been sorta "niche" and the following games never did figure out exactly what they want to do with the combat in particular. That's just an objectively true statement. Origins is easily one of my favorite RPGs of all time but it definitely lacked in the combat, in MY opinion, but so does BG3 etc. Those games were not fun because of their combat I'll just leave it that
This is why gaming reviews and people that put way too much emphasis on them is so bad. People exaggerate what they're even saying to begin with. No where in this video, not a single time, did he say he hated the other DA games. Matter of fact he deliberately states this DA is weaker in some elements that the others excel in. You watched his take on the combat, barely listened to what he said, left a comment then bounced.
@@SagaOfDoom 1) You're absolutely correct he didn't say he disliked origins combat he just heavily implied it by calling it weird and bad and then proceeded to talk about how this combat is the best in the series while still saying that its only really a slight bit better than Hogwarts Legacy. ( I cant tell if that means good or not since he never really says its good just better than the other games).
2) I don't know what rock you both were under but objectively the Dragon age series including origins is definitely not a niche or even sorta niche, it came out to critical acclaim it was Biowares largest selling entity at one point and I think it still is, third party books aren't written about niche video games, You actually are just wrong about this one.
3) You are right about them changing the combat from game to game but that has been a huge criticism from fans already and doesn't prove your point like you think since even though this game did do well in sales, it definitely isn't being called the game of the decade like BG3 (you know that apparently "not fun" top down/ isometric approach to combat is just apart of one of the best games of the decades).
4) I respect that you can say personally you just don't care for the combat system in games like origins and BG3 but that is not what this video is saying and that's not how you started off, some things are objectively true like they have changed the combat in every game, but to then say because the other games were objectively worse and niche is quite literally not backed up by any fact. not to mention that is what he is doing in this entire video while complaining that others are being biased and not understanding. As an example he complains about reviewers but then uses Asmongold as his proof? like c'mon he isn't even a reviewer and is literally just there for clickbait shit. Sure there are people who hate the game because wokeness but there's also reviews like Fextralife and Skill ups, Hell even Mortisamal gaming. To me it sounds like he is complaining about the echo-chamber he has surrounded himself in and is now the only evidence he is arguing against.
All of this is to say I don't care what his opinions on the game are, I care that he portrays them as objective fact and that others are being biased while he clearly is as well. Love the game all you want just don't hate on others because they disagree with your supposed objective facts.
@@SagaOfDoom Kind of like you did with my comment, I said "people" kind of like the people on the steam reviews that he references in the video, also how the fuck do you think I came to my opinion? You just discount it right off the bat thinking that I got my opinion from reviews and not playing the game myself. Its funny you shit on me for my opinion that I got from playing the actual game but not on the guy who is clearly talking about an echo-chamber of reviews that he is listening to, who at the point of this video hadn't even completed the damn game.
everyone's lying? i gotta hear this considering i've WATCHED like 20 people play it....
Oooh dear....where should I start?
1. The argument that many people worked on this game is bad one. What matters is the quality at the end. You also don't have to be a porgrammer or designer to criticise games. You as (potential) consumer or fan have the right to dislike the game for what it is no matte rif you a plumer or game designer.
2."Dragon Age was never massive appealing game" This is nonsense. Dragon Age: Inquistion sold more than 10 Million copies.
3. "I don't care about dialogs or story". What a thing to say when story and dialogs are the two main parts of the series and in general RPG games.
4. "The characters were always weird looking". The reason for that was technical limitations for the most part. What people don't like is not the technical part but the art style: characters look like Marvel/Pixar inspired characters with big heads and comic like.
5. "Why is it bad to have campaigns wheel?". That is not the critque point. The criticism is to have a compaign wheel AND not able to control your characters so you can't checkout different classes. I mean your team mates don't even have health bars and don't die.
6. The wheel to chosse "Gender Identity" options. Yes, that menu doesn't allow to chosse anything but transgender related despite the menu name "Gender Identitiy" options". The description even says that lol. What about non-binary, agender, man, women etc. There are so many genders. They don't provide you these options specifically but only the option "decline transgender".
7. "Reptetive combat, but other games have also repetetive combat" No, many other RPG games don't have reptitive combat like DA:V has and that's because for different reasons: You can't control your team mates which decreases the variety in combat, the enemies have a small number of attack patterns, the wide range weapon/sattacks have no advantages, etc. That's not a mistery as you claimed but the lack of understanding from your side.
8. "If someone says the game is ugly they just don't know what beatiful is". Again you don't understand the difference between artstyle and technical design. What many people dislike is the artstyle (comic like art style, big heads, mobile phone game style for the hud, overusage of the color purple etc) not the technical part (polycont, well detailed characters,, hair physics etc)
Now just look how many negative things you listed about the game: Story, dialog, no ambient sound effects, overpowered and repetitive combat. On the positive side you mentioned exploration, graphics and icons look great. BTW Final Fantasy 16 has bad exploration options so it doesn't make DA:V exploration great or good with the linear and gamy level design. So overall you mentioned much more negative stuff in the core elements of a RPG and/or story driven game but you still claim it's the best DA game.
Your whole video lacks of knowledge and understanding about gameplay, character design and the series. What a bad take...
edit: Checkout my second response to iROHxo in the comments below
@takeyourtime3328
1. Yes, but without playing the game, you don’t know what it is. On top of that, if you are making videos for your many viewers who want to jump on criticism and ruin some franchise, that’s wrong. Nobody says you have to buy it. Also, memories of previous Dragon Age games seem better than they actually were.
2. Compared to AC Black Flag, which was released the year before if I remember correctly, sold 15 million. The Witcher 3 sold 50 million, and Fallout 4 sold 25 million, and so on. So it was popular, but not as much as others.
3.Well, if you go back and try the dialogue again in previous Dragon Age games, they were bad before as well, if you ask me.
4.Yes, again, go and look. Compared to the games released at that time, Dragon Age characters look like they are made of plastic and are being animated by someone, like toys in Toy Story. Both body and facial movements, as well as stylistically, are lacking. Vanguard characters don’t look like they belong in Pixar movies, go check Pixar movies.
5. Do you really want your AI teammate to have an HP bar? Do you UNIRONICALLY want to press a key to revive them every now and then? Come on now...
7. What do you mean by you can’t control your teammates? You can control your teammates abilities like in other DA or Mass Effect games you have the wrong information. I feel like you haven’t played the game. A small number of attacks? Warhammer 40k, which is praised for superb combat, has more than a few enemy attacks? Do you want to go and count? Or enemy types? Lol.
8. No, I understand the visuals perfectly in this game, and I’m not talking about the technical side. The artistic visuals, lighting, and so on are very good.
@@annonjames2438I read it in a minute or two. He has a lot of good points. If reading that is hard for you then maybe rpgs aren't for you.
Perfectly explained
@@annonjames2438 Do you struggle with reading? Anything beyond a couple sentences overwhelms you?
Well I guess Veiltard will be right up your alley👍 None of that pesky reading and thinking crap required. Just sit back and watch the movie with some repetitive child level combat here and there.
@@annonjames2438 People can read. Just because reading is tiring to you does not mean it is tiring to everyone else. Now go solve some puzzles in Dragon Age The FAILguard.
Well ,being honest and then attacking other reviewers which you have zero proof of why they said what they said, its not so honest. And saying older DA games had very very weird combat system is actually very subjective.
The only reviewer he "attacked" was Asmongold for straight up lying to his followers about the hand mirror cutscene just so he could exaggerate the trans thing in this game for click bait. He absolutely did that..."zero proof" is just smoke
@SagaOfDoom What about Taash, Asmon barely played couple of hours, I've played the whole game. Taash whole story and side quests are about her feelings and gender. It's same with STALKER 2 man. Most reviewers never played the original trilogy and yet, they are complaining about the things that were always included in the older games. Nobody takes reviewers seriously, if people like some game they will play it. In just 4 days sold more copies then Veilguard and that is just on Steam.
@LoneWolfFromEast Asmon played the whole game on week 1 and gave it a 7/10. So idk what you're on about. Good thing you can harden her character, cause I hate her personality anyway. Hardening her btw makes her not a tranny. Lest we forget, Krem was all about her gender as well. Not every companion is gonna be grand (Merril?)
Copies sold we don't actually know yet, but I wouldn't care regardless. When you have a game that receives this much hate based on woke stuff 12 days before launch it's gonna effect sales. There's a reason why the vast majority of positive reviews are all from people who played it past hour 8. Mass hatred for the "woke" shit that they either did or didn't know you can virtually avoid killed the sales. Is what it is. Doesn't change how I view the game.
What you say about the game at the start is true only for combat. But many DA fans couldn't care less about it.
The fact many people worked about this game doesn't necessarily make it good. That's a silly point. You speak of fairness but raising this point is unfair.
Speaking of unfair - shitting on dragon age origins to make this game looks less bad. That's a new level of unfair, that's kinda deplorable.
The big strawmmaning is here too- using the bad actors to discredit all criticism is bad.
Agreed about the writing.
I have some serious doubts you are a dragon age fan but I might be mistaken, it's just very weird you wouldn't know who are the Antivan Crows.
The combat is not so good. And again you go with the "let's pretend good games are bad to make this game look better instead of explaining how it's better" attitude. Fair my ass.
To be fair, 80% of the Antivan Crow relevance in the 3 previous game is on the shoulders of Zevran and they appear like twice per game
No matter who says what, players like you always complain. To know if game is good or not, you need to make comparisons. If you're not comparing, then you're measuring it against your imagination of what the game could or should be. I'm not a huge fan of Dragon Age, but I've played all of them, and to say the other Dragon Age games were better compared to The Veilguard is just ridiculous.
When I say you should consider the effort put into making this or any game, that's a very valid point. As a solo developer, it would take five lifetimes to make a game like this, it’s a tremendous group effort and people shouldn’t criticize it based on less than an hour of gameplay or, even worse, just by watching a compressed YT video from someone who hasn’t played the game because they didn’t get a review key.
@@scarocci7333 Even if they were more relevant, why would I remember the faction names from years ago? I'm not a superfan, but I've played every Dragon Age game and I play every new game...
You are literally pretending this game with above average reviews and likely the best selling Dragon Age game is a bad game to make your point. You're in complete bad faith and it's obvious. You guys think it's "unfair" to compare this game to previous games in the same series while also comparing this game to every other RPG on the market. Please start making sense.
@@iROHxo I mean, you do, I do. A friend who played DA as well doesn't really remember them. Everyone else is different.
Reviews an RPG game, doesnt care about story or dialogue. Cool story bro. Serious question - is this a troll video?
It pretty simple, its not a role playing game like Da3. It is an action /adventure game more like GOW with mass effect elements.
I personally am enjoying it 20 hours in.
It is really a different type of game.
Which is ok for me, but maybe not hard core fans.
I agree, maybe core fans don't like it but game is awesome.
The fact that you mentioned gameplay as a way to say this is the best dragon age game to have been released, tells me you have no idea why people even liked Dragon Age in the past. And I'm fairly new to dragon age myself. This game is not good
Basically, you agree with much of the negative reviews, just not the anti-woke vitriol. Fair take. I'm there too. This is kinda what I'm seeing: decent, good looking game, but not an amazing story experience (what we expect from BW) and above-average game play. IMO, seems like a decent pickup on sale. No big deal.
Still, I'm in the camp that wants to see everyone feel like they can RP a character that looks and feels like their idealized self. So I love the DEI awareness overall that's coming to gaming 100%. But I think it was an odd game-design choice in this game to put some of the LGBTQ stuff I've seen so far in here. Again, not b/c I have a problem with it - I don't at all - but b/c it just seems so unnaturally forced. Doesn't advance any character or add depth. Doesn't advance the narrative. Just added random extra words to check a box. And I think this is people's main issue with the so-called "woke" agenda -- the lack of authenticity. I want to see more inclusion in games, including racial, gender, and LGBTQ. But if it's inauthentic like this, just forget it, bc it does more harm than good...
The overwhelming majority of people complaining about it don’t have any personal problems with anyone in the LGBT community. They just don’t like when they’re slapped in the face with it by writers that are nowhere near skilled enough to write that kind of character well or do the issues they’re facing justice.
The best thing about this game, is the optimization... which should be a given considering the game has been in development for almost 10 years.
Level design and set pieces are looking great, lighting is also pretty good.
Combat is okay-ish, tried to mimic god of war, but nothing to write home about when all you gotta do is basically roll your face on the keyboard and keep moving forward.
Character creation is OVERBLOWN. The only good thing in the character creation is the head part where you can actually make unique faces according to your likings... But the body modification is a joke. Height is also a joke, tried to make the most tall and buff human i could... and he looks like a halfling twink, you really can't make this ish up.
Party members got no health bar and they are basically ghosts with zero presence since everyone just attacks you, you can't use them or issue them actual specific orders except for using a couple of skills... what the actual f.?
Dialogues are deceivingly OKAYISH for the first couple of hours or so... then they quickly and progressively get dumbed down and start diving into current day california territory. Writing is utter trash and breaks immersion every time.... we are in Thedas... trying to deal with some freaking world ending events and my companions first world problems are apparently their pronouns, non-binarism and how it sucks to not feel comfortable in your own skin... Y I K E S.
Art style (characters and enemies) is anything but dragon age... they look like they came out of a Pixar movie and is extremely goofy and off putting if you take the setting of the story into consideration.
Final pet peeve, i don't need the game to hold my hand, spoon feed me or treat me like a toddler. Doesn't matter if you are in your early teens or you are a full blown adult, this is extremely patronizing, i don't want to play a game that patronizes me, i am playing games for escapism, bringing all that current day bs along with a patronizing behavior, makes me believe you think of all your customers as brain damaged individuals.
I'd summarize this game as "Identifies as Dragon age"
I actually like the graphics and presentation. The game is beautiful. I just don't enjoy people shoving gender ideology down my throat. That's insanity on so many levels that I can't even account for.
It’s not just the ideological stuff either, the dialogue in general is forced and illogical.
@@DietersYT yeah dialogue is weak.
How is it forced? What even is gender ideology? Stop representing the game as if it’s a transgender simulator 🙄. Furthermore, this would have to be the first BioWare game you’d ever played to be surprised about “inclusive “ themes.
@@redletterl78 here’s my full review to help you understand my perspective
my thoughts after 20 hours:
-environments are beautiful
-Don’t love the change in art style, especially the almost-cartoony character designs; would prefer a more grounded, darker, grittier, visual tone (and tone overall tbh).
-Combat is more satisfying to play that it is to watch. That said, I can see it getting stale into the later hours and I already have concerns about enemy variety. Combat can also feel a little floaty, like I’m not really _connecting_ with the enemies sometimes.
-Skill animations are pretty, but can cause too much visual clutter. Sometimes I lose track of what enemies are actually _doing_
-I don’t like all the looting, especially for tiny amounts of money and crafting materials. Wish exploring for treasure felt more exciting and rewarding, instead it just feels like a chore because I have FOMO
-Weapons, armor, loadout options feel impactful and varied. Designs look distinctive and lend a sense of character…I love the transmog too!
-As good of a character creator as you could hope for. Lots of options. Hair in particular just looks fantastic (maybe best I’ve seen). Could maybe use some more variety in the voices, but understandable considering the game is fully voiced.
-Ditto for the skill trees, Player char and companions. Will be fun to experiment more.
-Musical score is serviceable but ultimately forgettable. None of the songs will stick in my head (I compare to something like FF16, where I want to go add themes to my Spotify playlist 😅)
-Overall story is fine so far, but wish storytelling was more nuanced…I.e. more “show” and less “tell”
-Dialogue is the weakest point of the game. Voice acting is good, even great at times; I’m really criticizing the writing itself. While there are some exceptions, conversations tend to feel stiff, forced, and struggle to maintain a logical flow, which unfortunately can be immersion-breaking for me at times. Larger plot sequences are handled with a bit more grace, but I find myself struggling to enjoy the more routine dialogues, companion dialogues, etc.
-Specifially want to call out the player character dialogue options because they either a) don’t offer the option I’d prefer or b) have little to no impact (outside of obvious, required critical choices). I feel railroaded. Like it or not, after the freedom I experienced in BG3, it’s going to be hard for any RPG not to draw comparisons.
-Performance is excellent on PS5. No notes here. Stating again: the game is gorgeous, any way you slice it.
My hopes for this one were high, but this game fell a bit short imo. While aspects of the game are excellent, my last couple points of criticism, combined with elements that were just okay combine to a final score of:
6/10
@@redletterl78"By forced" They mean the game literally forces you to agree with it. Your character's only dialogue options are to support it and approve of it.
Worst take ever.
Because your opinion differs? Therefore, it has to be a bad take. It’s quite literally what the video is about. You’re just proving this creator right
The gameplay impressions from this game will turn off the core dragon age audience. I was originally going to skip this because the combat reminded me of a mobile game and it felt like a departure from dark fantasy settings. But later after seeing examples of the writing, I felt that this game was definitely not targeted towards people like me.
I find the notion of customers who paid 70 dollars or more for a corporate product having to be nice and fair about their critisism because people worked long and hard.
You're almost treating it as if this game was a present to us all that they didn't get paid for and are giving to us for free and we are being meanies about it. The truth is people paid 70 or 80 bucks and waited for 10 years and feel like they got duped by the studio.
Because we didn't get and RPG, we got a friend s3x and comming out as tran5 simulator instead. People didn't play that long because then they couldn't ask for a refund.
So by your logic, first they have to be fully duped and then they have the right to complain, but they still better be nice about it.
I could not disagree more.
It's just not dragon age period. Dragon age fans are not gonna like it. I played 10 painfull hours and I stopped. People don't have to play the game to see that it's not it. There's gameplay u can see and understand how it plays and what it's gonna be. What the game shows u that's what it is. I'm not even gonna talk about the Trans stuff. We tryna save people money and time. Plus I think we should be looking at journalst rather than RUclips reviewers. 10 and 9s with all it's issues that yourself even listed. All the praise just cause u can be a Trans character. Makes me so upset what they did to the franchise. You are probably the first reviewers that don't have a problem with the character visuals. Thats interesting I can't look at the qunary. Good take and good review.
What I find interesting or really annoying in this game that it has almost everything in purple color. So its background, mini map, tactical screen, pride demon the antivan crows at 6:20 (heck even that chair is purple)
Outfits look amazing I'm just sick of seeing the same color over and over again.
The game looks visually beautiful and past Dragon age games were bland in that field but that's why they had a good story, character interactions etc..
This new Veilguard is all about the looks and no brains apparently.
I'm still looking for a good reason to buy this game and it's not looking good so far..
Like I said, if you haven't played it, you just don't know what it actually is but it's obviously up to you, personally I only listen to review for entertainment reasons. But yes, it's very purple, and for me personally, the most annoying thing is that the marker/indicator of where to go is way too big and also animated.
I am 70hours. Halfway. Converstaions 80%very good. Normale people's can't write better. This is not high sience.
game is really good.
I agree about gameplay, you cannot judge gameplay without playing it. However, some things like the tone are easy to judge and I personally decided this isn't a game I want to play as I enjoyed the drak/gritty elements of DA:O. I feel disappointed that this is the way they took the DA franchise but no hate for the game or the creators.
Another important thing - yes a lot of work was put into this game and you should be fair in your critic, but this isn't your friends this is a company selling you a product. As a costumer you judge a product by the perceived value. If you go to a restaurant and the food isn't to your liking would you continue going over and recommend it to your friends just because the cheff worked so hard? No you wouldn't. Why are video games any different?
I agree with the first part of the comment but not the second, and I’ll explain why. Making food in a restaurant doesn’t take 5+ years, hundreds of talented people, huge investments, or a large group effort. When you have all of these factors involved, you also need massive coordination, management and most importantly, you’re taking on significant risk. The issue here is that yes you can say, 'I don’t like this meal' and choose not to return or recommend the restaurant to friends. But in gaming, people collectively create videos to basically damage a game and a company, often based on whims or personal expectations that weren’t met. or even worse like now, unfairly criticizing a game just because they didn’t get an early review key.
Personally, I might have also preferred Origins dark or even darker and more horror like fantasy setting. But ultimately, gaming is a gift, and sometimes I can’t believe these teams manage to create such massive projects.
@@iROHxo First we both agree that your criticism should be fair. However, when they attached the DA IP to this product they did that to increase sales as it connects to previously beloved games. As such, judging it according to these expectations is fair as they are the ones that introduced these expectations when they called it dragon age.
Regarding the restaurant example, you are missing the point so lets go with another example - cars take years to design and a huge team effort. Would you buy a subpar car just because the team worked hard? No. You would judge what car is best and go by that.
Making some assumptions here but I think that because the devs gave you a great experience you feel connected to them and that is why you value their effort. However, this isn't between you and the dev, this is between you and a multi-billion dollar corporation that wants your money. EA, and most big corporations don't give a **** about you as a costumer or about the devs as works, they only care about their bottom line (as the recent layoffs showed). It makes as much sense to defend this game just because the devs worked hard as it is to defend a car manufacturer the designed a crappy car just because the engineers worked hard.
You should buy a game if you think it is worth your time and money. Work put into it shouldn't be a factor.
@@ethanfetaya 1. So you think this game is so different from Dragon Age that it shouldn't even have that name? You haven't played it, right?
2.Even if it’s cars, cars are not as culturally impactful and sensitive as games, but okay, I understand your point.
3. Well, what is now known as big corporations like EA and Ubisoft were once just mid-sized development companies. For some reason without 'going into the details' like big tech companies, they hired a lot of people for little reasons, and when they laid them off, it looked like they cared more about themselves than about the developers. Making games is very expensive, even for big corporations, and these corporations are owned by multiple investment firms asking for returns. It’s very hard to balance everything between expectations, culture, current trends, someone’s memories, competition, timing, and investors. Yes, you don’t have to feel pity for them, I don’t feel pity either. If they don’t listen to gamers, they should not make any sales. But my point was about unfair criticism, and not just criticism, but a coordinated attack, which can have a significant impact on a company and funniest thing is game is not bad at all even compared to other RPG's released in recent years.
The story does get quite dark at times. Even early game there is a disturbing location you have to visit. It's rated mature for a reason. The writing isn't so good between the companions, but the combat is the best its been in the series. It should be really seeing as it's the latest game. A lot of these channels hating on the game are giving a skewed view imo.
@@iROHxoI just don’t understand the logic, if people don’t like the direction the game & the western gaming industry is going they can’t complain because games take hard work? Consumers aren’t responsible for failed products.
If the constant bad feedback from the content creators for the woke elements actually impacts the sales in a meaningful way then that’s the customers saying they don’t want it.
True that there are disenginous reviews and videos from all sides. But then again, the developers, corporations and vocal DA community members started this modern political talking points and it has been happening for a decade now. I am not a fan of that and Its only fair the blowback happens. In the end everybody loose, especially fans of the franchise, sadly.
Also I dont agree with your opinion that Masseffect and Dragon age being wierd and niche, because they are regarded as one of the best games in RPG genre by many.
The repetitive combat has been a thing since Inquisitions spongy enemies and combat design. I dont really like that aspect compared to the previous 2 games.
Graphics and stylistics are good enough for rpg however, the female characters designs are indeed ESG standardized and corporate since Inquisition. This time, looks like even more so, corporate, censored, disabled, diverse and child friendly meanwhile the rating of the game is 17+ and legacy being realisitc dark fantasy. The same can be said about the game dialogue too, verry similar to Andromeda.
Well, we live in complicated cultural times, so... thanks for the comment! but I won’t get into a discussion because I’ve been doing this all day already.
@iROHxo Same. I have been endlessly and piontlessly debating about it all for at least a decade now. No point adding more fuel to the fire. I have my personal concern, bias, and critique, but as a fan of the franchise, i am ready to support Bioware again if they allow mods or patches to customize or fix the game like CD Project Red did with Cyberpunk 2077.
@@marcomongke3116 If the audience can clearly identify what they dislike, they may be able to fix it, probably.
I bought the game and made selections to avoid the woke stuff. However I got bored very early on. Its pretty and I like the skill tree but the dialogue and story didn't capture me and I can't pick the controller back up to play more.
You can turn off the way point in settings.
I'll try to look again.
bro you need to play some good rpgs. my recommendation .. start with Masseffect series or BG 3. and you need to play Dragon age origins before saying this game is the best in the series. this in not god of war type game. and btw i have 16 hours clocked into this game already.
What do u think of the game so far?
@@youngkermitcnt1111 its not a bad game if you are not looking for and RPG or dragon age game. it will be a disappointment if you want a good RPG or want something like DAO.

I agree on most things this is fair.👍
Dragon Age is dark fantasy.
Dragon Age: Veilguard is toxic positivity.
An RPG is supposed to immerse you in the world and lore. The director, who is trans, literally directed a game that is based off of his skewed life experience. It’s cringe.
My biggest problems are the incredibly bad writing and the Toy story doll character design.
The characters are almost all really ugly. The presets in the character creator all look like trans characters. There are little to no hairstyles for white men, most of them are for women and poc.
Every character looks like they’ve been mewing for years while a chiseled jawline and cheekbones that could cut rock.
Gameplay is good and I like the overall story so far. Everything else is kinda ass
2:40-3:12 ...U serious? o.0
There is a lot of hand holding in this game.
tell me you are very young and never played most of the RPG classics llllooolllll poor pup
combat and combat animations look good. mage actually looks fun and i never play mages. environments and lighting look incredible. qunari look stupid af. i still give this game a 6/10 i love dark fantasy, but this doesnt resemble dark fantasy much at all, all of the companions suck imo. no one seems badass, not one of them seems to belong in a M rated dark fantasy setting. the witcher is dark fantasy and so are many of the characters. the clearly leftist inspired characters are cringe and annoying and so are child characters/companions in every rpg ive ever played. companions have no health stat and the fact you cant switch between companions is dumb af. i loved dragon age orgins but this game isnt it. this game clearly isnt made for dragon age origin fans, and is more for the newer liberal generations and the "modern audience". biowares is a completely new studio. RIP bioware.
[Sarcasm Mode ON]
Oh I see, all the videos I saw and the dialogues that the game is lecturing the players for wrong use of pronouns is a lie now because you are saying this. Humm I understand now that I am really crazy all the rest of the world is wrong and lying because you say so.... I understand now.
[SARCASM MODE OFF]
Not a good start to the channel. Many people received a review copy, other people already bought the game on steam and now you are saying nobody has played yet?
Well, first of all, you really have to check who you’re subscribed to because it seems like you’re watching trolls who unfairly criticize and try to destroy things. In my nine hour playthrough so far, there hasn’t been a single 'woke' dialogue, so it’s very clear to me that the content you're seeing is being shown to you very selectively.
there is literally ONE scene in a 50-60-70 hours game about pronouns and the vast majority of people wont even experience it in their playthrough. You really need to reevaluate your priorities if this is what bothers you so much
7:20 he was being a smarta** you fool... we all know there was a back button. THAT CRAP SHOULDN"T BE IN A DRAGON AGE GAME TO BEGIN WITH!!
You can turn off the huge blue quest marker 😅 it’s under gameplay, and then wayfinding, objective marker visibility
lol I finally did!
@ yeah it’s usually the first thing I do cause I hate these in any game
So, a dark fantasy story driven rpg is now a poorly written action adventure game with rpg elements? Why would Origins fans be happy with that? Mass Effect 2 changed the combat system, but it still felt like Mass Effect.
This game is awesome, had a moment where I was fighting some blight monster thingy close range and one of his buds threw a javelin at me when I was not looking, I saw it last second and deflected it back at him mid combo... It was just an awesome moment. The combat is sooo fluid and I love the influence of Mass Effects primers and detonators.
Yes, gameplay is decent, like I said you have to play it to feel it.
Dunno vindictus do better 15 years ago?
Too many hates from this youtubers just for sake of clickbait. I really enjoying this game. I have so far played for 7 hours into the game and will continue to play until its finished.
I agree, the game is pretty good! I’m on Act 2 now, and some of the new biomes look amazing.
I am having an absurdly good time with Veilguard🤷🤷🤷.
You are 100% correct! It’s a breath of fresh air that someone takes a stand against all this nonsense about this game…I love this game and want to tell all these haters to stop the rhetoric.
game is sooooooooo good I really love it! people yapping a lot for no reason
Just cause you like eating terds for breakfast doesn't mean we like to. Enjoy your terd butthole game that is a terrible and gay
The amount of “sheep” that were just riding the hate train based off of one or two of their favorite RUclips creators is insane to me. Especially when all signs pointed towards this being one of the games that you might need to play for yourself to form an opinion. Due to all the high positive reviews and negative reviews. There was nothing in the middle. My biggest complaint with it is I do feel that some of the writing is lacking. Not all the time. But there are moments where I think things could’ve been written much better.
This game is great. It is a different Dragon Age, as every other installment of this series was. This one is as good as any of the previous (if not better). There are two main reasons for all these cry babies spending their entire days talking b_s about this game: 1 - anti-woke stupidity (yeah, for these little snowflakes, if you have few OPTIONAL dialogues/quest and an OPTION to role play as a trans person, their masculinity is automatically being oppressed), and 2 - the lack of something better to do. These people could be ignoring Veilguard and playing Dragon Age Origins right now (since they wanted a duplicate of this game), but attacking something that other people like is more important for them than playing a game that they supposedly love so much. And you are totally right: just as there are aspects that Veilguard implements worse than previous game (like the lack of a darker tone ), there is a lot of things Veilguard does better, but the nolstalgia and ideology of many hide this fact or belittle it in every analysis they make.
Veilguard is objectively nowhere near the same level as the previous dragon age games.
It’s way lower.
The biggest problem with the taash stuff like the push-ups is how badly written and cheesy it is.
If the people writing these (Most likely self insert) lgbt characters had any semblance of skill and wrote them with any sense of nuance it would be a completely different story. But instead the players of an M rated game about gods wanting to destroy the planet get preached like they’re elementary school children
Not to mention the Disney Channel dialogue. Tell me why after a slight setback. I had to have a pep talk with my team and say “we can do this if we all work together”
Am I a five-year-old doing trust exercises or am I the leader of a team trying to stop the world from ending?
@huskycruxes7232 ah yeah, lets narrow the entire game down to these parts that IN YOUR OPINION are bad writing and determine it as "objective" to compare games based on NOTHING. Perfect! Thank you for being a solid example of what I mentioned in my comment. Very kind of you.
@ it is objectively worse than the other dragon age games. It’s also a completely different game. The first three being a real time with pause, while VG is strictly action based. That alone makes it a worse RPG when compared to any of the previous three games.
You can’t control your party members anymore, you can’t use the tactics to customize what your party members did and when they did it. The choices you made in the previous games just don’t matter anymore and that was one of the best parts about dragon age. The series was built on your choices mattering through them all and when it came to the finale of that story they just..left practically all of it out. A ton of the depth and systems are straight up gone.
Dragon age Veilguard is objectively a worse, dragon age game than the other ones based on most people‘s experience with the other games. the only thing really tying this game to dragon age is the lore and the games title. Everything else is completely different. From the tone to the art style and the general gameplay.
It can be a great game. But it will always be a terrible dragon age game to anyone that grew up with series. Y’all new fans just can’t see what you lost
@@huskycruxes7232 "yall new fans" ahhaahahha do you know me? Know what I have played before? Your arrogance keeps being the example of what I'm talking about. The fact that this game is DIFFERENT does not mean it is WORSE (and your usage of the word "objectively" is just a fallacy that proves nothing). A lot of different things this game does are actually improvements for other players. For instance, a lot of people used companions just to use specific skills and detonate combos. For these people Veilguard made this process MUCH better. It is totally SUBJECTIVE. There is nothing objective about. Your opinion is not the ultimate truth. Sorry.
@ in what way is taking out 90% of the character and game systems depth a good thing?
Hell I’m the one who plays origins on the easiest difficulty specifically so I didn’t have to control my party members and I still miss its inclusion.
To me because what the game has done and how dumbed down it is, it is worse than the other games.
But really that’s a criticism for the entire rpg genre. Every rpg gets dumbed down for its sequels It’s happened to mass effect, dragons age, elder scrolls, fallout, and the Witcher. Those are the biggest “RPGs” of our time too. BG3 is an anomaly we’re not gonna see again for a long time
Don’t worry everyone hated inquisition when it released and even went as far as saying it wasn’t dragon age
Then It got game of the year now it’s beloved by fans
This will be the same.
@@jonesygrets6029 And DAI had weird dialogue too 😅 I mean the “What’s going on here” when walking in on a dark magic ritual was kinda unintentionally funny 🤣
Well considering that GotY awards are rigged and fans are noticing it might not be so, even if this game miraculously became game of the year.
dont need woke garbage in the gaming industry
Woke garbage is in every game, are you slow?
Thats the wrong issue yes if that angers you then fine but the issue i see is a ip that used to be dark fantasy seems like a disney movie now which is fine but now players expecting a DA game feel cheated or left behind by a company going for a "modern audience".
Never in thedas did i think id hear about non binary issues in my game about sealed elvern gods who were seperated from our world into a viod because of how abhurant they were to their people. Just doesnt seem dragon age like to me
@@wizardiez6830 yes that's also correct.
it's not woke, but it's politically "correct" lol but you have options to make it woke.

I agree woth you that it is pretty sad that people make it a hobby to trash on games they haven’t played. I don’t mean long time da fans, that want a different tone. I mean all the woke hater trolls which really swept about this game like the blight itself. I am a longtime da fan and I really like veilguard so far (7 hours in so far). It might not be perfect but it’s still a joy to play. For me at least.
Yes I agree.
same for me played DA:O for 700 hours and the other 2 games for about 300 hours and yes the RPG element is toned down sadly but I'm having so much fun in that game I would rate it a 8.5 atm played it for 30 hours and I'm playing slow ^^
Just because yall like bad games doesn't mean everyone else has to like bad games to. Nothing wrong with liking bad games but the game is not good especially compared to older titles in the series.

FAIR REVIEW 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you.👾
This review isnt anything new...You are the 10000th person to say the dialogue and writing is utter garbage but its pretty and has good gameplay. This game was made for children, which makes the forced trans ideological messaging even more egregious. They literally changed the tone and gameplay of this game to target a young / immature audience and then filled it with forced trans ideology you cant skip. No one would of complained about having a non binary character in the game, or gay relationships...Cyberpunk and BG3 did it just fine. What people complain about is the forced messaging you have to agree with that is not skippable and is not a small part of the story. The game lead just self inserted into the game to air their grievances and we have to pay the price for it...well, you, I would never buy this game. On top of that EA and large journalists colluded to get more people to buy this game under false pretenses. Now that they have gotten away with skewing reviews, withholding information they will do it again and worse than this time. There is a much bigger problem with this whole situation than "omgerd gays in the game" ... Theres indoctrination and market manipulation like we have never seen before...and this was a litmus test to see how far they could push and get away with it. Everyone is ok with how things are going until it finally pushes past where they are comfortable...some sooner than later but it always goes further and further...so you might be ok now, then next time its past where you are comfortable...and youll wonder how it got here. People that gave crap like this a pass this time is how it got there.
go back to 4chan with your conspiracy theory nonsense, you just look silly.
Objective review, good work man. I actually enjoining this game so far
Comment for the Algo!!
People kove to complain
This is by far the best review of this game I've heard.
Thanks for comment and for watching I'm glad you understand my points in the review👾
Lol
how he reviews the reviews more then he review the game lol
2 minutes in and you're already way over most people's heads when talking about project management and finance, these people don't understand development or care, they think these things are simple and easy, and don't appreciate the effort and art put into these games. That's why it's easy for them to say "oh it looks like Pixar" when there's not a single Pixar movie that even has proportional characters. People saying they don't care if the combat is good or not are in the vast minority whether they realize it or not. Aside from a very few select games, most people do not take story over gameplay, we play games to PLAY them. There's a reason why every DA game had shaky releases and never hit mass popularity like Mass Effect, it's because Mass Effect is actually fun for people.
Well, it's very sad that people don't appreciate the effort that goes into creating games, whether it's this one or any other. Gaming, in general, is a gift.
The problem is that because of this negativity, many companies may shut down, and aspiring developers who want to start creating games might never make a step, seeing how people prefer to tear down games and criticize rather than actually enjoy them is very sad.
My suggestion to those people is this: if you remember another game as being better, just play it again, and you’ll quickly realize it’s often just nostalgia. One example is NFS Most Wanted, when people say it's the best NFS game... just play it again, buddy.
@@iROHxo I completely agree, would you be okay if I used clips from your video in my video about Veilguard?
Mass Effect 1 had lackluster gameplay.. Matter of fact, it wasn't really till the 3rd entry that gameplay was somewhat cohesive and flowed nicely. Mass Effect had wide appeal, cause it was simply a great game, with incredible world building, character writing and innovation (At the time) in the industry, that being your progress carrying over to 2 other promised sequels. Sure NOWADAYS the vocal majority care a lot more about the "gameplay" (Which I guess means combat to most people, even though I'd argue engaging in dialogue and exploration or engaging in any game system a game has, aside from cutscenes is gameplay?..), but it was not always this way. I'm happy for you, that you enjoy the game, but you're reaching a bit on the Mass Effect bit.
I play games for good gameplay, simple as that. If i want really good writing i read a book from an author i like. Im having a really good time with veilguard. The combat is so addictive. Graphics, as in resolution, isn't that impressive, but the actual locations and sense of space are great. Im just about 60 and just so tired of these anti woke muppets. Great video mate, agree with a lot of your points.
@@mathiaschristensen1194 yeah no one liked Mass Effect's gameplay until the 3rd game sure whatever you need to tell yourself. Also most people would not agree that standing and doing dialogue trees over and over is gameplay, if they did we would consider any form of speaking in such a manner to be a "game" but we do not, societally, as humans, anywhere on the planet. There's a reason why games that ONLY have dialogue trees like this are called "visual novels"
