I’m sorry but I’m looking forward to this game. It looks amazing. This video is so negative it deserves a dislike and what’s with the swearing every 5 seconds??
I'm sorry Stuart but Im not looking forward to this game. It looks terrible. Your comment is too soy, it deserves a dislike and whats with having an issue with some fucking swearing??
I can't like this comment enough. The Disney effect. Disney (today) makes movies that supposedly take place in another place and time, but everyone talks like an American teenager from the 2020s. This is like that. Dragon Age devs also went with the same art style as modern Disney, it seems.
Thank you! This! So much this! They actually made a movie about my country's very well respected and beloved historical figure from the 1400s and made him black. Because they could.
You know, for the first 3 Dragon Age games, I forgot who, but a Bioware staff literally said "We are not your digital pimp", when people were either asking about characters they would have love to be able to romance or something like that. Now, in 2024, they literally created a game where the goal literally is to be a pimp, so that people can literally sleep with every character, or they sleep with each other. Oh the hypocrisy.
So in origins on ps3 they could animate an entire war zone in the middle of fighting, but for the latest triple a title they can barely put 12 character models on screen
How are they supposed to fit more than 12 characters on the screen when their heads are so fucking gigantic? This shit legit looks like fucking DK Mode on Goldeneye
They think we're babies, between the simplified UI, the soft childlike look to the game and along with children's puzzles like colors/matching/abc's and numbers 1-10. I just want ADULT games back omg, there's only so many times I can replay my PS2 games.
Characters bland and lifeless. Characters mainly contribute by telling you what to do in the game as if you're a moron or validating your gameplay. Where is the STORY? Where are the INTERESTING characters? Where are the sexy men with an actual sense of humor?
Hold on... Does the cutscene at the end imply that Ghilan'nain just makes darkspawn out of blight goop? They actually turned the darkspawn into fucking putties.
@@docmacabreHoly Shit, I can’t imagine they would ever have the balls to reintroduce Broodmothers. That is one of the grimmest and disgusting monsters I’ve ever seen in a none horror game.
@@docmacabre I remember the shit show on Twitter because one of the devs had "Broodmommy" in their name, bio or wherever. Make people play the Deep Roads segment in DAO and weed out the weak.
Dragons look like mold growing on styrofoam. Hair salons gotta be the most lucrative business in Thedas... sorry, They/Themdas. The ONLY reason Helen Keller couldn't beat this game on the highest difficulty is because she's dead.
Uhm, the dragon looks like the Greater Mistral and Kaltenzahn and Hakkon from Inquisition. Whats your point? Oh, you never played DAI? That ur point? I see.
@@Oozaru85 Sure it does. With the boils and all. On LSD maybe! Seriously, this pitiful thing looks like it grew up near an atomic waste dump or something lol
Like in inquisition,i hate how they made the grey wardens look like weak idiots,dying like movie extras,when one grey warden is supposed to be like a one man army
I lost respect for, and unsubscribed from every single RUclipsr who allowed themselves to be wined and dined by bioware, and flown at the california. They can pretend that that does not affect their opinions, but it absolutely does
You can even tell from their reviews that they're trying really hard to like the game. Like everything they say starts with "I can understand why some players might not like this aspect and I was disappointed at first too, but..."
Sooooo aren’t you being just as biased by insisting that its bad without considering any person who said they might enjoy it? Kaya Elizabeth and Mr Hulthen have been reliable sources imo and they seemed to like it? I don’t understand why any opinion hating on the game is automatically the based and real take, and any one who says anything g remotely positive is instantly ridiculed and seen as fake
@@aperson3996 Sorry but Kala Elizabeth is not a reliable source since see said she wouldn't say anything bad about the game until it after it releases and is shilling for Bioware if she won't be honest about the games flaws and short comings. And now Mr Hulthen is disappointed that only three choices from Inquisition matter.
@@MrDay53when was this said? Again, what evidence do you have that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who says the game is looking interesting is somehow paid off by bioware?
@@aperson3996 Kala said she had a bias because she was part of the Dragon Age community council, she literally said this in her "why you should be excited for da veil guard" which she has the comments paused on that video. She also consistently tries to sell people on buying the books.
DA:O - Ogre literally CRUSHES THE KING in its bare hands and then uses it as a fucking bowling ball to take out a bunch of soldiers DA:V - A dainty smear of lip blood as you die pretty leaning against a wall under an inexplicable spotlight. Brother... I can't... It's so frustrating. Every single combat pause I see has weirdly squashed character frames, missing details and completely unrecognisable models. Where's the damn detail during combat. Everything blurs together like a bunch of chocolate bunnies in the midday sun. It's fucking awful!! Then there's Cory. They call him "frankly lackluster". WTF. That scene was EPIC. It was terrifying. I hate... HATE the term for most of my favourite game franchises, but this game really IS just a dating sim. Things I want in a deepdive: How does the build (because NOT a "mage" deep dive, it's a single build toe dip) work? What part the skill tree are we building out? Which skills are important and WHY? How does the COLD BUILD work against an ICE DRAGON? Here's one: HOW DO THE EFFING BUTTON COMBOS WORK?? Because a month in and NOBODY is discussing the fucking button combos!! How do runes and gear synergise - not the transmog over which gear, but HOW do the individual pieces of GEAR work with the chosen skills AND the chosen RUNES? Which runes and why? Are there essential companions that we need for this build/fight and why? Do those companions need specific gear? Which companion skills are needed and when? THIS is what you include in a DEEP DIVE. FFS. Not fucking transmog info. OOh I LOVE this guys vid about 'fixing the UI" If it actually looked like his fixes, I'd ACTUALLY consider buying the game. He's brilliant.
@@docmacabre Oh yeah, I totally believe this. There's no other reason to create this much clutter with the tech they have. It's incredibly blatant obfuscation.
I liked being completely covered in blood and walking around talking to NPCs looking cool as fuck. I had this yeah I have been through shit literally fucking killed a dragon and bandit just for fun. With this no gore and blood "game" how can it be called dark?
Their idea of "Dark Fantasy" is making a world that's without the sun for...20 hours of the day, perhaps? But we're the tourists, according to David Gaider. Sure.
@@MjollTheLioness-o4y Exactly what I've been saying ever since I noticed "tourist" being used as an insult. I don't care that I've given Dragon Age over a decade of appreciation. They're slacking, and I'm not about to be the only one putting in the effort in this commitment.
Why is every single line from a character some sort of hand-holding to the player? It's guiding us through a (weak, surface level) story, not immersing and including us in it's outcome, we don't seem to shape the story in any way whatsoever.
They accidentally inverted one of the normal maps on the forehead, and no one in the review team understood what was going on, the artist probably didn't get a chance to correct it.
OH there are SO many graphics FUBARS during EVERY combat I've seen pauses for. Every single time I see a combat paused there's squashed frames, missing details, inverted sections of character model, missing weapons/clothes/skin/hair/pants, enemies morphed together like melting chocolate, hits going far right but hitting an enemy far left or vice versa, ray tracing in inexplicable places, it's a hot mess. There are several vids out there showing slow-mo footage of combat where weapons flat out blink out of existence mid strike and appear waaaaay across the field or the MC strikes one direction but hits from the other side or the enemy physics ACT as if the hit was from the other side. IT's masked by all the flash and particles and bloom, but it's really not good. It's a far cry from BG3 and the other DA games, where you could literally pause any section of combat and take a photo-clear screenshot for an action wallpaper.
@@noctoi Interesting, will keep an eye out for the glitches you mentioned, it's a single player game.. of course it shouldnt have any of those coming from a AAA studio, but it's always baffling to see what 'the big kids' are doing. There is a video from Lorework on the UI that might interest you, he's just sooo right :D ow just finishing watching the video, nuhre mentions him already..
There's only 3 choices to import into veilguard and they're only from dai...fuck you bioware. Every players playthrough and choices mattered to them. I don’t give a shit about new players becoming Intimidated by it, this is the 4th game in a series about important decisions and their consequences, that’s on them.
@ML-HS yeah they're: - who your Inquisitor romanced - if the inquisition was disbanded or not - if the Inquisitor vowed to redeem or stop Solas I'm so fucking pissed.
@@rileycord1248 Does that mean choices we made in Origins and II won't matter? I was willing to endure this hell to see the conclusion of the whole story from Origins and even the second game. If they don't you get the drift.
@ML-HS I really hate to say it but everything we've done beside those 3 things don't matter. It's especially heartbreaking considering that Morrigan is playing a big role and nothing about the Warden or Keiran seems to matter at all.
@@ML-HSdid you really think this bunch of hacks had the capabilities to do that? Doing that would require them to actually enjoy the series and understand the lore, not make it a self insert project with body mutilation scars and women with adams apples.
I really feel like they're using AI for these promos. Eg in the previous vid about the character building, "I like to make my butt so big", uses slider that does absolutely nothing and still acts surprised as though something had happened
This makes the Dragon fights in Inquisition look like they were made by FromSoftware. If I was skeptical before and never seen the other trailers, this trailer just guaranteed I’m not buying this game.
@@Oozaru85 No I did, all of them were awesome to play through. That’s my point, they had talent that made those boss fights fun with the lacking MMO lite content. This game is like if this was a pre alpha of a SPIDERS RPG (and I like games by SPIDERS studio)
@@Oozaru85is that the only thing you can say? You have no argument to defend this hot garbage, so you fall back on the "I bet you haven't played them". Well, I bet you're not a gamer at all if you can try to defend this abomination.
On top of everything else, the fight with the dragon looks so incredibly bland because there are no impacts from attacks happening. The player character mage is casting all these spells at the dragon, but all that results is some flashing lights that fly towards the enemy that result in... basically nothing. The complete lack of wounds, blood and worry for your companions (who are invincible) makes everything happening on-screen so incredibly boring. ....And that's before they have the "big reveal". 2ND DRAGON! 😆
This dragon design has been used in Inquisition as well. The Greater Mistral in the Emerald Graves looked like this. As well as the Kaltenzahn in Emprise du Lion and of course Hakkon in the first DLC.
@@denisegesilva3082 How? They look the same, lol. The only difference is this dragon here being blighted. The ones in DAI werent. The general design is still the same. So ur "Pixar baby bobblehead dragon" remark makes no sense, lol. The fact you had to look them up is also very telling... Dont think you have ever touched DAI or any DA game.
@@Oozaru85 Wow, someone don't know by head ALL THE DRAGONS IN DAI, they are such posers Anyway, the dragons in this game suffer from the same problems the other design changes, childish and without texture, their skin is soft, and the neon designs lackluster, the archdemon in DAO look like his skin is melting, now they are just gamer pcs with fireballs, hope this answer you.
To add to this… please PLEASE look at gameplay for a dragon boss battle from dark souls 2, the most hated souls game, and compare it to this. I’d rather pick dark souls 2, and i despise dark souls 2
I’m not a die hard fan of dragon age game but I remember when I fought the first dragon in inquisition and I had a blast. That thing had so much coolness and presence, poor thing in this video looks like a mutated chicken.
You never fought any other dragon in DAI beside the Ferelden Frostback in the Hinterlands, it seems. There are 3 different dragon designs in DAI. This one being one of them. Check out the Greater Mistral in the Emerald Graves or hell, Hakkon in the first DLC. I dont think you really played DAI...
The game director described Veilguard as inherently queer. Guess that explains why the game has a "bulge slider" in the CC. I have NEVER heard a single person in 30+ years of gaming ever request such a feature, but it takes a "Queer" game to suddenly make it happen. Extrapolate from that why the game looks the way it does.
Aaaaaand, here we are. None of the previous games' choices matter, apparently (except for 3 bullshit DAI choices). Yeah, I'm out, everyone. I'm not giving them my money anymore. Thank God I don't ever pre-order anything. Eff these lazy, incompetent devs at BioWare.
Corypheus getting some love! Makes a person appreciate Inquisition more. Especially when compared to Dragon Age Tit Guard here. Veil guard is going to be the very worst of ass.
BioWare is asking me to "upgrade" my computer to a worse version of Windows, and beef up my graphics card a little bit... for a game with graphics that are inferior to Inquisition's. Also, I've seen blighted dragons in Origins and Inquisition. Better design on those. These FailHard "dragons" are just hairy tumors with wings. Will BioWare blame these bad designs on Ghillan'nain too?
Forgive me for the wall text, but this is important. I actually liked the trailer, and then I learned something worst that made me disdainful completely again. The World State, there are only 3 decisions that will import into Veilguard. 1) Romance of Inquisitor 2) Inquisition disbanded or not 3) Stop or redeem Solas. Nothing else, Origins and DA2 will go completely neglected, while not even the Well of Sorrows or who is the Divine will be considered. Epler (one of the devs) also mentioned that he wanted to respect our decisions from past games, so this game will avoid mentioning anything related to them. That means that theHero of Ferelden and Hawke will go completely neglected in this game, including all their companions, like if they didn't exist. Not even a single line from Morrigan and Varric about the HoF (and Kieram) and Hawke. They destroyed the one thing that made this franchise special. They only care to target their "modern audience", to push their ideologies, the people obsessed with the overrated Trespasser DLC, and the angsty girls that romanced Solas. That's all, what a disrespect to original fans. Sorry for the rant. 😡
Rant away! They keep doing this giving people hope with vague statements and answers and then they take it away. They don’t care about this game or their audience. They care about the money. Save yourself some trouble and wait for someone to stream the first 6 hours of game so you can see it UNEDITED. And then buy it if you want.
@@nuhre. I read the comments of a lot of people who were defending this game once, they felt betrayed after this and now turned against the game (tho there are still some zealots there who are coping and are now even attacking their former allies, proving the haters right). This surely is the final nail in the coffin. What Epler said is also, IMO, mere excuses, they simply don't care about the original fans, they were lazy, and also shows that the game was rushed after so many reboots.
@@SeventhheavenDK This is a money grab. Simple as that. I get people think I'm rage baiting when I post videos about the subject. But I'm genuinely upset about they have done to my favorite franchise.
@@nuhre. In case you are interested the video is called DA Veilguard, The Inquisitor"s return and 3 Keep choices. The channel is Kala Elizabeth, she is one of the Early access reviewers. And yes, I believe you, you are very transparent, and I respect you for that.
This makes me think Morrigan's presence will be nothing more than a cameo. Probably the same for the Inquisitor. The only scenes the Inky will probably get are with Varric and Solas. And we'll likely never know what happened to Hawke if left in the Fade or the Warden. This game feels like it's being made with those who specifically romanced Solas in mind which makes me think that these devs are in a reddit bubble as that is what the majority of the posts in the main DA subreddit are about. When info on this game first dropped a couple years ago I remember Claudia Black saying she would not be in Dreadwolf. It wasn't until last year that I heard she was making an appearance. I believe they added her near the end of production as nostalgia bait and nothing more which is truly disappointing.
@@nuhre Honestly, this all feels like an abusive relationship. Everything tells me to stop waiting for this game, and yet here I am, glued to the screen, hoping to learn Maker knows what, that will elevate my fears, that will calm me down, that will ensure me that dragon age (and mass effect) will continue. But each time it's a betrayal upon a betrayal. Why do I want some clever furniture for my companions? DAO and Da2 (FENRIS!!!!!!! and I WON'T ALLOW THIS live rent free in my head) - they got traumas. Dai - at least they got downed. Like... your previous video on bingo - Neve/Harding guilttrip... THEY AREN'T GOING TO GET BRUISED EVER FA KEEN AGAIN just what kind of mental condition is this?
Like I have said before: "When new Doom looks more Dragon Age than Dragon Age... you know they've lost the plot." Btw did you hear what David Gaider called us who critique it? Tourists...the bloody nerve.
It's like watching Sims 4 characters copy/pasted into an Unreal asset-store RPG. And the absolute STATE of the User Interface... every facet of this game feels like it was designed by devs that (at best) are lazy, and (at worst) actively hate their fans.
They say that you can go over 20 lv, when I heard that and saw how little skills you have, i knew that lot of skills will be passives that will not matter
7:35 Bro, I couldn't even tell the dragon was attacking here at first, lol. I was like "is it dancing or something? Sweeping the dirt on the floor?" Horrible animation. The design is horrible too. Everything about a dragon that makes one go "oh shit I'm screwed" is downplayed here. Barely see it's teeth, soft rounded edges, muted colors. It looks like a bad statue of a dragon covered in centuries of pigeon crap. And as much crap you give "Guy Fury" I'd honestly be more interested in this game if I had six of him for a party of companions. At least then I'd be able to take the game's threats seriously instead of siding with diversity Scooby Doo gang (even has Scooby the griffin). Lol, even the old-faced ice mage woman has a prosthetic, lol. For maximum diversity.
Fights with dragons have never been easier! I mean, c'mon, every fight with the dragon in DA game was ridiculously hard. But this one I saw... I wonder if the player can lose it, cause it seems sooo simple.
Do they choose Rook by having everyone fight, and then choosing the one person who can do damage? Oh, it looks like Rook is our leader, he did some damage. Onward to adventure!
I love your rage 😂 everything they show me about the new game boils my blood when I think of another beloved series go this way. The new dragons look like pets 😂
1.4K and more entertaining than most channels with 1 million subs. Might wanna change the name tho...
Месяц назад+2
she had like 200 a week ago, so she's flying. also whats wrong with nuhre? are we really going to act like one of the largest youtubers on the site isn't a grown man called "captain sparkles"?
BTW, the fact that they made all companions pan-*exual, doesn't it strip them off their kinda individuality? They wanted inclusivity so they decided to make all of them absolutely preference-less. Sure, in real life nobody has preferences and sure it in no way defines who they are. Even in **itty Inquisition Sera was female-only romanceable and for some it was a big minus, here, like, well, they are just rubber *ex-dolls without any personal preference, you can do whatever you want to any of them... And yeah, the combat system and absolutely mitigated usefulness of companions in battle...this is what we probably all deserve now, cause we like *ussies....
4:44 indeed. They're now same as immortal companions in clunky swtor that's haunted by poor old alpha hero engine 😐 They also do same damage as when chicken tries to leave mark into oak tree.
6:10 I truly dislike this scene, it could be so good to estabilish Wardens as elite warriors killing darkspawn left and right but how can I take them seriously when one of their elite looking warriors die to lamest enemy which our strong and perfect MC defeats single handedly? I want Dragon Agebto feel epic again, like Battle of Denerim, Ostragar, hells defending Amaranthuse and not this Also looks like mediocore action game and bad Dragon Age, but yeah people will call me hater for disliking game which is not even out yet while they treat the game as second coming of Christ without even playing it too
Alright you popped up on my feed and I went down the rabbit hole of your content and you have a new fan. You talk that shit and keep it real. Very rare on here these days
Wow they really dropped a video about a tutorial on how you appoint skills? 😮. Why don't you show me how to take something out of my inventory Bioware. Cause I've clearly never played a video game before.😂😅
They spoiled also design of main villain , in the first treilers they hide her from of but not show us blood mage/blight mage and it looks so cartoon to, even scenes of blood magic from origins looked very cool and brutal(try to remember Jowan)and game sayed to us that he was begginer in magic , but why he looked stronger than corrupted creature from fade🤡
What confuses me is that the new darkspawn and dragons look like the result of the Reaper experiments from Mass Effect 3. Look, it's a husky! And the blue dragon has tumors like the Harvester!
The character models are plastic bobbleheads and the dragon looks like a muppet. I guess it makes designing the Funko's easier. I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves....RIP Bioware.
"some areas are so dark", yeah areas with less light, just that. No blood, no dead corpses, no scary enemies, just fewer light sources, that's the dark we get in this shit. The only thing that comes to my mind was corypheus saying "Beg that I succeed",he was right, if he had succeeded we wouldn't have this shit game. How the enemies can look so bad..
15:55 What's funny is that in Inquisition, you can ask Krem if he'd transition with magic meaning it's probably not only possible but something some people have actually done.
You know what could salvage that dragon running up the wall cinematic, a view from your characters perspective, so you can see how huge it is running up there and then you spot the second dragon descending. God any gamer could direct better than this trash.
Just watching this great video btw 1. When your stuck in. War is hell your not clean. He's got wounds. Not bleeding. Wtf. There should be mangles corpses and limbs laying about. 2. The dragons. What in the fuuucc... You've played elden ring? A dragon is placudissax or even agheel. Shit even the dragons in inquisition were pretty great comparing directly to dragon age. That Corinne guy keeps pushing romances and choices on us. The latter pisses me off worse. I gurantee these choices won't matter and will be one universal ending Unlike origins. Witcher, cyberpunk, baldurs gate, mass effect..... I feel like they are hiding things. Shills are shilling and actual critical fans only see the scraps Gotta be reminded previews always put the product in its best light Lastly yesterday in your video I agree why can't they.kust give us at least hypothetical of how choices matter. They don't because they won't matter outside dialogue
Okay *crackles knuckles* there are a lot of things wrong with what was shown here, but I want to specifically address the Blighted Dragons, Ghilan'nain, and the Darkspawn shown here. 1.) Corius the Icetalon: First, Corius the Icetalon at least *seems* to be a male name for a High Dragon; thus that presents us with our first problem. HIGH DRAGONS CANNOT BE MALE!! All High Dragons are exclusively female as the males don't grow to be that large, nor do they have wings. However, I won't harp on this too much as we had the likes of Vinsomer, Hivernal, and Kaltenzahn in Inquisition; so traditionally masculine names for High Dragons aren't necessarily uncommon. That being said, if Corius ends up being a male High Dragon, I will be justifiably angry. Second, the design. What in the living fuck?! Who did you hire to make the designs for Corius, the other Blighted Dragon, and Ghilan'nain, because that person needs to be fired! Seriously, does no one remember how cool, but gross, Urthemiel looked in Origins? The whole point of his design was that he used to be the Old (Dragon) God of Beauty, and now his form had been corrupted and twisted by The Blight to turn him into this undead-looking mockery of what he once was. We don't get that anymore. Instead, we get *this* decrepit monstrosity that looks like crab covered in barancles; a distorted xenomorph; and a poorly designed High Dragon all mixed together. 2.) Ghilan'nain: First of all, why does Ghilan'nain look like this weird tentacle monster that's reminiscent of someone throwing together a Xenomorph and something from Resident Evil? She is the Dalish Goddess of Guides and Navigation, as well as the Mother of the Halla. Yes, I know she's infected with The Blight, but her design would be far more appropriate if she possessed the appearance of a corrupted and twisted Halla, rather than whatever the fuck this is. Secondly, why is she bothering with the Darkspawn? At least from what Solas has told us regarding these bastards, they designed the Vallaslin to subjugate and control the Dalish people, so why aren't they taking control of them and using them for whatever they require ALONGSIDE the Darkspawn. Granted, an explanation of this could be present within the game's narrative, but from what we've seen so far, I have no faith it will be satisfying or well-written. 3.) The Darkspawn: There designs are atrocious and abominable, and whoever redesigned them should be fired as well. Also, Darkspawn emerging from "Blight Pools" is fucking stupid when you remember that one of the major threats they pose is that they are ferocious when it comes to burrowing through the Earth in large hoards for ambushes. Plus, the concept behind these "Blight Pools" seems to be that they spawn Darkspawn, even though that isn't how it works because that is the reason that Broodmothers exist. Remember? The Broodmothers whose design they've also colossally fucked up based on what we've seen in the trailers. I remember. As a closing statement, I have one question: Where the fuck are the Old Gods?! A lot of people have long speculated that the Evanuris and the Old Gods are one in the same, and that when the Tevinter Magisters broke into The Fade at the behest of the Old Gods whispering to them in their dreams, it was, in fact, the Evanuris who were whispering from their prisons within The Fade in an effort to trick humanity into releasing them. In addition, the speculation continues that when the Tevinter Magisters were cast out of The Fade, the Evanuris's souls were rendered from their physical bodies (the ones trapped in The Fade) and took the form of the Old Gods (large, powerful dragons) as that is the way they depicted themselves to their worshippers within the Tevinter Imperium. As a result of their souls being rendered from their physical forms (as well as their souls taking on new forms they couldn't control), they entered into a state of permanent hibernation until such a time that the Darkspawn came and corrupted their new form, at which point they were driven mad with an insatiable lust to destroy all life within Thedas. So, I'd like to come back to my intital question and ask a slighty more detailed one: Where are Razikale and Lusacan? Since the intial concepts of this game, they have been teasing the audience with the idea that this game would center around a double Blight (a.k.a. the worst Blight Thedas has seen since the first one). Instead, the only dragons we've seen have been two ugly-looking randos that serve an even uglier looking rando (I know Ghilan'nain isn't technically a rando, but based on how godawful her design is, it felt fitting). This would have been the game to actually shore-up all these theories, and actually give us definitive answers regarding the Evanuris, the Old Gods, The Blights, the Second Sin, etc. None of that is going to happen though, because the people who wrote and designed this game didn't have a clear goal when making this game, other than "how can we strip away everything that made this series unique in the first place".
Wait, how are we even supposed to kill archdemons if we are not grey warden? Only grey warden should be able to kill them and be a grey warden is just one of the backstories the character can have, and in the fight in the video there was none grey warden, so how they intend to kill 2 archdemon dragons, and a elven goddess to boot?
Omg! Thank you! That would be a great twist-imagine your hero delivers the killing blow, and everyone thinks the threat is over, but then it comes back to life and kills a companion just as you let your guard down. But I doubt they’d do that, especially since we’re going to have a Grey Warden in the group, or even have the option to be one ourselves. I’m sure they’ll reveal all the organization’s secrets then.
The dragon is a manifestation of what they've done to the franchise. It used to be a force of nature, a frikking demon that can't be stopped. Now it's deformed and laughable shadow of what it used to be. You look at this dragon and at first it seems hilarious, but moment later it's just sad.
On another note, I'm confused. Why the hell they didn't take notes on the DAI dragons for the combat against them??? There's literally 12 of them you can learn from, and they used to literally shoot fire meteors at you, move and spin a lot faster. Hell, the fight against Flemeth was much more interesting. She shot fire, chomped you if you aimed for the head from a close range, stunted you by roaring, whipped you with her tail if you tried to attack her from the back, among other things. Looks like this shall be the one where I'll play in nightmare difficulty (assuming such choice wasn't among those that may overwhelm new players and therefore wasn't included). Even DA2 had a moment where you had to change the difficulty and DAI was imo rather hard on nightmare at the beggining of the game or if you didn't kill any dragon and got their loot
Oh the irony of Gaider calling fans 'tourists' when the game director for DAV didn't even know who Zevran was in an interview a month ago. Just proves they're all full of 💩and only use the term as a slur when people don't richard-ride every slop sandwich they throw at them.
Hi, sorry in advance for the walltext but I just discovered the channel and I'm already relating so much with your rants. I'm glad to have found there are still people like you who aren't afraid at all to bite back at those wishing only to see the world on fire and own everything we love and grew up with. I never played the the Dragon Age saga yet indirectly knew about it when it launched thanks to a friend of mine who does LARP focused on it. Hearing about the new game, I thought of finally starting Origins and while I was looking up how to make it work on my PC I stumbled on this video. Now I fully know the feeling of bitterness seeing the franchise you love being tainted and ripped apart by sharks who won't even buy the game since they care only about their own ego. Unfortunately my favorite videogame saga, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, has been tainted too. Aspyr managed to censor it already in the recent Remastered announcement trailer, as per usual (like what happened with the Tomb Raider I-III one), by editing the pre-existing textures (female stone statue) that irked those who still do not want to differentiate fantasy from reality for purely selfish reasons and false moralism. They even gave cartoonish edges to the models for no reason (because it makes "perfectly" sense in a grim and dark setting, right?). On top of this now the owner of the IP (Embracer, jesus...) will just profit over the fact that many LoK fans are going to buy it with a good heart since it's something we have been waiting forever. It was the same for me, and I was already planning to introduce my 6yo niece to the saga through the remastered, as my brother had done with me before, while now I will have to dust off my original CDs. I'm fully convinced that no video game for adults should be ever censored, of any kind. They are made to escape reality for a good reason and if those also have limitations then playing them would no longer make sense... Adults are by definition mature enough to withstand crude themes. (side note: it should speak volumes if even Mr.Bean, Rowan Atkinson, had to talk about how valuable is free speech) What hurts the most is how everywhere you go now, even on official game development discord servers, you are not free to criticize any of those games aspects unless you want to have 5 of those people suddenly gang up and harass you and anyone else who steps up to back you up, no matter the amount of common sense you throw at them. Obviously all while you are getting double standards instead. So far they targeted us men and abused our masculinity as a justification for pushing the same mantra but now they are going after women as well. They already started denigrating females characters in old videogames of being "too surreal" (e.g. Lara Croft) and by intentionally worsening the respective digital models, while at the same time they can't even process how to design a mild-interesting one from the ground or how to bring up a decent story for the same reason, to justify their distorted view of "diversity". This concept has always been in videogames and I remember when I was a kid there was this particular character who struck me as a very authentic and relatable woman of color. Darci Stern, the main protagonist of the Urban Chaos game, which I loved and still do because I think it was GTA 3 precursor in many aspects. Her character design and her background were spot on and her personality very engaging, all while never touching any of the common stereotypes. Yet I feel like those people won't stop at this. Their next target will likely be the true LGBTQ+ community, the one which doesn't want to have anything to do with them, which I bet is also already sick of being thrown around and used as a shield for everything messed up they do. It's them against us all gamers (male, female, true LGBTQ+) and what baffles me is how, within their bigotry, they'll never see this coming, and I hope things goes this way. They are intolerant of everyone being intolerant of them persistently twisting the common sense. I'm sorry for the insane long post, and I'm aware this will be annoying (it is) to read, but I still hope you will always keep up fighting for your videogames vision, and even more women take example from you. Thank you
Why does everything look like shit? Even the dragons look like shit. I am so glad your brought up Corypheus dragon as a comparison as there is no competition between the two, and how you give his character introduction the respect it deserves.
Easiest boss fight I have seen. Solo dragon kill without taking any real damage while companions just ran around distracting the dragon? I guess. It's basically just a dating simulator at this point.
I said this on a different video but, I don't know if I like the warden armor. Apart from the helmet it doesn't stand out to me like the previous games. Is it just me or has anyone else thought about it? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Just noticed, when you where critiquing the blood not appearing, it did appear when the third darkspawn attacked the knight 11:15-11:16 but the blood is just appearing, if we watch it frame by frame the blood looks like just another layer got added, without contact from the creature. They make it look like the DSpawn is biting but there no contact. Like beyond terrible . So your right there is either no blood or fabricated. Because oh it should be there, so they put it in even though it doesn't overlap with the actions that are happening. just thought I would mention it, maybe you missed it
I can absolutely relate when you say they killed your favorite franchise im a bit Lord of the Rings fan and in the past few years all they did is completely shit on it like never before rings of power is abysmal, that upcoming game Tales of the shire is DEI infested so yeah i can totally relate and it sucks!
I’m sorry but I’m looking forward to this game. It looks amazing. This video is so negative it deserves a dislike and what’s with the swearing every 5 seconds??
If I don't swear, I explode
I'm sorry Stuart but Im not looking forward to this game. It looks terrible. Your comment is too soy, it deserves a dislike and whats with having an issue with some fucking swearing??
you will be sorry indeed

the world is already diverse...not every places, lore, universe should resemble america...
I can't like this comment enough. The Disney effect. Disney (today) makes movies that supposedly take place in another place and time, but everyone talks like an American teenager from the 2020s. This is like that. Dragon Age devs also went with the same art style as modern Disney, it seems.
@@虎瀬野 i could not agree more
It's funny how making everything US kind of diverse, makes the entire world actually less diverse

You know, for the first 3 Dragon Age games, I forgot who, but a Bioware staff literally said "We are not your digital pimp", when people were either asking about characters they would have love to be able to romance or something like that. Now, in 2024, they literally created a game where the goal literally is to be a pimp, so that people can literally sleep with every character, or they sleep with each other.
Oh the hypocrisy.
In exchange, they created characters with weird face and body proportions that no one would be interested in sleeping with.
@@ignis2023 Unless you have weird fetish towards old retired dudes that likes to play with bones....
Can we sleep with Ghilan'nain ? 🤔
@@linitie4898 If you ask nicely, I'm sure someone at Bioware would make it happen.
Yea, they also made the Qunari political correct. That was already done in DA2 though.
So in origins on ps3 they could animate an entire war zone in the middle of fighting, but for the latest triple a title they can barely put 12 character models on screen
THIS!
How are they supposed to fit more than 12 characters on the screen when their heads are so fucking gigantic?
This shit legit looks like fucking DK Mode on Goldeneye
11:59 how da fak Inquisition looks 1000x better. wtf they do to frostbite engine
Modded DA:Origins looks better. As far as the UI, DA:Origins unmodded looks better. UI is godawful.
They think we're babies, between the simplified UI, the soft childlike look to the game and along with children's puzzles like colors/matching/abc's and numbers 1-10.
I just want ADULT games back omg, there's only so many times I can replay my PS2 games.
Characters bland and lifeless. Characters mainly contribute by telling you what to do in the game as if you're a moron or validating your gameplay. Where is the STORY? Where are the INTERESTING characters? Where are the sexy men with an actual sense of humor?
Hold on... Does the cutscene at the end imply that Ghilan'nain just makes darkspawn out of blight goop? They actually turned the darkspawn into fucking putties.
Yes. Don't expect any lore to remain standing nor internally consistent.
Bro, you cannot expect something like broodmothers in a 2024 game... Be reasonable! /s
@@docmacabreoh man it's been so long since I've played DA:O I actually forgot writing could be good and on topic 😭
@@docmacabreHoly Shit, I can’t imagine they would ever have the balls to reintroduce Broodmothers.

I lost respect for, and unsubscribed from every single RUclipsr who allowed themselves to be wined and dined by bioware, and flown at the california. They can pretend that that does not affect their opinions, but it absolutely does
You can even tell from their reviews that they're trying really hard to like the game. Like everything they say starts with "I can understand why some players might not like this aspect and I was disappointed at first too, but..."
Sooooo aren’t you being just as biased by insisting that its bad without considering any person who said they might enjoy it? Kaya Elizabeth and Mr Hulthen have been reliable sources imo and they seemed to like it? I don’t understand why any opinion hating on the game is automatically the based and real take, and any one who says anything g remotely positive is instantly ridiculed and seen as fake
@@aperson3996 Sorry but Kala Elizabeth is not a reliable source since see said she wouldn't say anything bad about the game until it after it releases and is shilling for Bioware if she won't be honest about the games flaws and short comings. And now Mr Hulthen is disappointed that only three choices from Inquisition matter.
@@MrDay53when was this said? Again, what evidence do you have that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who says the game is looking interesting is somehow paid off by bioware?
@@aperson3996 Kala said she had a bias because she was part of the Dragon Age community council, she literally said this in her "why you should be excited for da veil guard" which she has the comments paused on that video. She also consistently tries to sell people on buying the books.

Brother... I can't... It's so frustrating. Every single combat pause I see has weirdly squashed character frames, missing details and completely unrecognisable models. Where's the damn detail during combat. Everything blurs together like a bunch of chocolate bunnies in the midday sun. It's fucking awful!!
Then there's Cory. They call him "frankly lackluster". WTF. That scene was EPIC. It was terrifying.
I hate... HATE the term for most of my favourite game franchises, but this game really IS just a dating sim.
Things I want in a deepdive: How does the build (because NOT a "mage" deep dive, it's a single build toe dip) work? What part the skill tree are we building out? Which skills are important and WHY? How does the COLD BUILD work against an ICE DRAGON? Here's one: HOW DO THE EFFING BUTTON COMBOS WORK?? Because a month in and NOBODY is discussing the fucking button combos!! How do runes and gear synergise - not the transmog over which gear, but HOW do the individual pieces of GEAR work with the chosen skills AND the chosen RUNES? Which runes and why? Are there essential companions that we need for this build/fight and why? Do those companions need specific gear? Which companion skills are needed and when? THIS is what you include in a DEEP DIVE. FFS. Not fucking transmog info.
OOh I LOVE this guys vid about 'fixing the UI" If it actually looked like his fixes, I'd ACTUALLY consider buying the game. He's brilliant.
Why do you think the FX and everything clutter your screen during combat? It's to distract you from how poorly designed everything is.
@@docmacabre Oh yeah, I totally believe this. There's no other reason to create this much clutter with the tech they have. It's incredibly blatant obfuscation.
I loved how bloody your characters could get in all the previous games. So of course that's gone.
Yes naturally when knowing the current developers team.
I liked being completely covered in blood and walking around talking to NPCs looking cool as fuck. I had this yeah I have been through shit literally fucking killed a dragon and bandit just for fun. With this no gore and blood "game" how can it be called dark?
Their idea of "Dark Fantasy" is making a world that's without the sun for...20 hours of the day, perhaps? But we're the tourists, according to David Gaider. Sure.
We don’t know what we are talking about, apparently
@@nuhre Not supposed to know anything, or ask anything. "Loyalty" is just blind consumption, to them.
Gaider needs to remember that 'tourists' take their money to only the best locations to vacation.
@@MjollTheLioness-o4y Exactly what I've been saying ever since I noticed "tourist" being used as an insult. I don't care that I've given Dragon Age over a decade of appreciation. They're slacking, and I'm not about to be the only one putting in the effort in this commitment.
Don't ask questions about product. Just consume product and then get excited for next product.
Why is every single line from a character some sort of hand-holding to the player? It's guiding us through a (weak, surface level) story, not immersing and including us in it's outcome, we don't seem to shape the story in any way whatsoever.
"SECOND DRAGON!"
I can see it. It's right there.
They accidentally inverted one of the normal maps on the forehead, and no one in the review team understood what was going on, the artist probably didn't get a chance to correct it.
OH there are SO many graphics FUBARS during EVERY combat I've seen pauses for. Every single time I see a combat paused there's squashed frames, missing details, inverted sections of character model, missing weapons/clothes/skin/hair/pants, enemies morphed together like melting chocolate, hits going far right but hitting an enemy far left or vice versa, ray tracing in inexplicable places, it's a hot mess. There are several vids out there showing slow-mo footage of combat where weapons flat out blink out of existence mid strike and appear waaaaay across the field or the MC strikes one direction but hits from the other side or the enemy physics ACT as if the hit was from the other side. IT's masked by all the flash and particles and bloom, but it's really not good.
It's a far cry from BG3 and the other DA games, where you could literally pause any section of combat and take a photo-clear screenshot for an action wallpaper.
@@noctoi Interesting, will keep an eye out for the glitches you mentioned, it's a single player game.. of course it shouldnt have any of those coming from a AAA studio, but it's always baffling to see what 'the big kids' are doing.
There is a video from Lorework on the UI that might interest you, he's just sooo right :D

@@andreasbrandenberger9108 Yeah I saw it. IT's bananas how much instant relief I got the second he toned down the UI glow lol. It's WAY overused.
There's only 3 choices to import into veilguard and they're only from dai...fuck you bioware. Every players playthrough and choices mattered to them. I don’t give a shit about new players becoming Intimidated by it, this is the 4th game in a series about important decisions and their consequences, that’s on them.
What?! I didn't know that.
@ML-HS yeah they're:
- who your Inquisitor romanced
- if the inquisition was disbanded or not
- if the Inquisitor vowed to redeem or stop Solas
I'm so fucking pissed.
@@rileycord1248 Does that mean choices we made in Origins and II won't matter? I was willing to endure this hell to see the conclusion of the whole story from Origins and even the second game. If they don't you get the drift.
@ML-HS I really hate to say it but everything we've done beside those 3 things don't matter. It's especially heartbreaking considering that Morrigan is playing a big role and nothing about the Warden or Keiran seems to matter at all.
@@ML-HSdid you really think this bunch of hacks had the capabilities to do that? Doing that would require them to actually enjoy the series and understand the lore, not make it a self insert project with body mutilation scars and women with adams apples.

I really feel like they're using AI for these promos. Eg in the previous vid about the character building, "I like to make my butt so big", uses slider that does absolutely nothing and still acts surprised as though something had happened
they 100% wanted to go for a dark souls look for the dragon but clearly wanted to keep it PG fortnight looking as well
My kid had a slightly lumpy dragon soft toy with same shape, just rainbow coloured! So....lame.
That gameplay looked so plastic and like it was shot on a stage or inside a snow globe it feels so odd. The lighting is so terrible.
This makes the Dragon fights in Inquisition look like they were made by FromSoftware. If I was skeptical before and never seen the other trailers, this trailer just guaranteed I’m not buying this game.
Guess you've never fought the Greater Mistral in the Emerald Graves in DAI. Or the Kaltenzahn in Emorise du Lion. Or Hakkon in the first DLC...
@@Oozaru85 No I did, all of them were awesome to play through. That’s my point, they had talent that made those boss fights fun with the lacking MMO lite content.
This game is like if this was a pre alpha of a SPIDERS RPG (and I like games by SPIDERS studio)
@@Oozaru85is that the only thing you can say? You have no argument to defend this hot garbage, so you fall back on the "I bet you haven't played them". Well, I bet you're not a gamer at all if you can try to defend this abomination.
@@BerryNiceToMeetYou Im just defending the dragon design. Not the whole game.
Lol so true.
On top of everything else, the fight with the dragon looks so incredibly bland because there are no impacts from attacks happening.
The player character mage is casting all these spells at the dragon, but all that results is some flashing lights that fly towards the enemy that result in... basically nothing.
The complete lack of wounds, blood and worry for your companions (who are invincible) makes everything happening on-screen so incredibly boring.
....And that's before they have the "big reveal". 2ND DRAGON! 😆
Wait the companions can't be downed or die? What the what?!
Nope. Hand holding at its finest!
It’s a Pixar baby bobblehead dragon! 😂😂😂
This dragon design has been used in Inquisition as well. The Greater Mistral in the Emerald Graves looked like this. As well as the Kaltenzahn in Emprise du Lion and of course Hakkon in the first DLC.
@@Oozaru85 I looked at all 3 dragons that you mentioned, they all look waaaaaaaayyyyyy beeeetttterrr than the 2 dragons in this trailer.
@@denisegesilva3082 How? They look the same, lol. The only difference is this dragon here being blighted. The ones in DAI werent. The general design is still the same. So ur "Pixar baby bobblehead dragon" remark makes no sense, lol.
The fact you had to look them up is also very telling... Dont think you have ever touched DAI or any DA game.
@@Oozaru85 Wow, someone don't know by head ALL THE DRAGONS IN DAI, they are such posers
Anyway, the dragons in this game suffer from the same problems the other design changes, childish and without texture, their skin is soft, and the neon designs lackluster, the archdemon in DAO look like his skin is melting, now they are just gamer pcs with fireballs, hope this answer you.
@@Oozaru85 they look so different. Are you really arguing with me? I am a portrait artist. XD
I’d rather go back to playing to Wukong, BG3, P3R, fucking kingdom hearts… games that actually play well and have good stories
To add to this… please PLEASE look at gameplay for a dragon boss battle from dark souls 2, the most hated souls game, and compare it to this. I’d rather pick dark souls 2, and i despise dark souls 2

I’m not a die hard fan of dragon age game but I remember when I fought the first dragon in inquisition and I had a blast. That thing had so much coolness and presence, poor thing in this video looks like a mutated chicken.
I mean, there's even a pause there where that mutated chicken had a second head where its tail should be for several frames! It's wild 🤣🤣
lol. You are right
You never fought any other dragon in DAI beside the Ferelden Frostback in the Hinterlands, it seems. There are 3 different dragon designs in DAI. This one being one of them. Check out the Greater Mistral in the Emerald Graves or hell, Hakkon in the first DLC. I dont think you really played DAI...
@@Oozaru85 You're going wild here 🤠

10:51 So the Villain is basically a Karen judging by that voice 😂
I am more of a mass effect fan, and if this is the state of bioware, i am concerned. What happens to good games and studios?
The game director described Veilguard as inherently queer. Guess that explains why the game has a "bulge slider" in the CC. I have NEVER heard a single person in 30+ years of gaming ever request such a feature, but it takes a "Queer" game to suddenly make it happen.
Extrapolate from that why the game looks the way it does.
I guess he meant Queer in it's classic definition. F*cking weird because that is what this game is and who it's for. For weirdos.
Aaaaaand, here we are. None of the previous games' choices matter, apparently (except for 3 bullshit DAI choices). Yeah, I'm out, everyone. I'm not giving them my money anymore. Thank God I don't ever pre-order anything. Eff these lazy, incompetent devs at BioWare.
iam not even pre ordering the game but i want a refund
Corypheus getting some love! Makes a person appreciate Inquisition more. Especially when compared to Dragon Age Tit Guard here. Veil guard is going to be the very worst of ass.
I should apologize to him, had totally forgotten Corypheus was like that
His speech went so hard
Plus, his voice actor was fantastic! With or without the voice modulation, he's got a great voice.
BioWare is asking me to "upgrade" my computer to a worse version of Windows, and beef up my graphics card a little bit... for a game with graphics that are inferior to Inquisition's. Also, I've seen blighted dragons in Origins and Inquisition. Better design on those. These FailHard "dragons" are just hairy tumors with wings. Will BioWare blame these bad designs on Ghillan'nain too?
I wonder if showing the dragon your surgery scars would do damage?
Forgive me for the wall text, but this is important.
I actually liked the trailer, and then I learned something worst that made me disdainful completely again.
The World State, there are only 3 decisions that will import into Veilguard.
1) Romance of Inquisitor
2) Inquisition disbanded or not
3) Stop or redeem Solas.
Nothing else, Origins and DA2 will go completely neglected, while not even the Well of Sorrows or who is the Divine will be considered.
Epler (one of the devs) also mentioned that he wanted to respect our decisions from past games, so this game will avoid mentioning anything related to them.
That means that theHero of Ferelden and Hawke will go completely neglected in this game, including all their companions, like if they didn't exist.
Not even a single line from Morrigan and Varric about the HoF (and Kieram) and Hawke.
They destroyed the one thing that made this franchise special. They only care to target their "modern audience", to push their ideologies, the people obsessed with the overrated Trespasser DLC, and the angsty girls that romanced Solas.
That's all, what a disrespect to original fans.
Sorry for the rant. 😡
Rant away! They keep doing this giving people hope with vague statements and answers and then they take it away. They don’t care about this game or their audience. They care about the money.
Save yourself some trouble and wait for someone to stream the first 6 hours of game so you can see it UNEDITED. And then buy it if you want.
@@nuhre. I read the comments of a lot of people who were defending this game once, they felt betrayed after this and now turned against the game (tho there are still some zealots there who are coping and are now even attacking their former allies, proving the haters right). This surely is the final nail in the coffin.
What Epler said is also, IMO, mere excuses, they simply don't care about the original fans, they were lazy, and also shows that the game was rushed after so many reboots.
@@SeventhheavenDK This is a money grab. Simple as that. I get people think I'm rage baiting when I post videos about the subject. But I'm genuinely upset about they have done to my favorite franchise.
@@nuhre. In case you are interested the video is called DA Veilguard, The Inquisitor"s return and 3 Keep choices. The channel is Kala Elizabeth, she is one of the Early access reviewers.
And yes, I believe you, you are very transparent, and I respect you for that.
This makes me think Morrigan's presence will be nothing more than a cameo. Probably the same for the Inquisitor. The only scenes the Inky will probably get are with Varric and Solas. And we'll likely never know what happened to Hawke if left in the Fade or the Warden.
This game feels like it's being made with those who specifically romanced Solas in mind which makes me think that these devs are in a reddit bubble as that is what the majority of the posts in the main DA subreddit are about.
When info on this game first dropped a couple years ago I remember Claudia Black saying she would not be in Dreadwolf. It wasn't until last year that I heard she was making an appearance. I believe they added her near the end of production as nostalgia bait and nothing more which is truly disappointing.
Your companions....cannot be downed? There will be no heartbreaking cry outs for a fallen companion? There is literally nothing at stake?
Nothing but your sanity
@@nuhre Honestly, this all feels like an abusive relationship. Everything tells me to stop waiting for this game, and yet here I am, glued to the screen, hoping to learn Maker knows what, that will elevate my fears, that will calm me down, that will ensure me that dragon age (and mass effect) will continue. But each time it's a betrayal upon a betrayal. Why do I want some clever furniture for my companions? DAO and Da2 (FENRIS!!!!!!! and I WON'T ALLOW THIS live rent free in my head) - they got traumas. Dai - at least they got downed. Like... your previous video on bingo - Neve/Harding guilttrip... THEY AREN'T GOING TO GET BRUISED EVER FA KEEN AGAIN just what kind of mental condition is this?
Like I have said before:
"When new Doom looks more Dragon Age than Dragon Age... you know they've lost the plot."
Btw did you hear what David Gaider called us who critique it?
Tourists...the bloody nerve.
It's like watching Sims 4 characters copy/pasted into an Unreal asset-store RPG.
And the absolute STATE of the User Interface... every facet of this game feels like it was designed by devs that (at best) are lazy, and (at worst) actively hate their fans.
She's a Klingon! Dragon Age/Star Trek crossover. Can't wait to romance her I'm literally shaking 😍❤️ (sarcasm off)
I don't get why Ghilan'nain speaks english, would make waaay more sense if she spoke the elvhen language imo
They say that you can go over 20 lv, when I heard that and saw how little skills you have, i knew that lot of skills will be passives that will not matter
I'm calling it now. You are a Future Friday Night Tights guest.
7:35 Bro, I couldn't even tell the dragon was attacking here at first, lol. I was like "is it dancing or something? Sweeping the dirt on the floor?" Horrible animation. The design is horrible too. Everything about a dragon that makes one go "oh shit I'm screwed" is downplayed here. Barely see it's teeth, soft rounded edges, muted colors. It looks like a bad statue of a dragon covered in centuries of pigeon crap.
And as much crap you give "Guy Fury" I'd honestly be more interested in this game if I had six of him for a party of companions. At least then I'd be able to take the game's threats seriously instead of siding with diversity Scooby Doo gang (even has Scooby the griffin). Lol, even the old-faced ice mage woman has a prosthetic, lol. For maximum diversity.
Fights with dragons have never been easier! I mean, c'mon, every fight with the dragon in DA game was ridiculously hard. But this one I saw... I wonder if the player can lose it, cause it seems sooo simple.
They are supposed to be “Fighting a Dragon, not Dragging out a Fight”
I hate to ask this, because I fear the answer will be a yes... but is the Mohawk guy with rat tail supposed to be Alistair? 😨
Nope. Just a random Warden. I hope my boy Alistair is far away from this mess
@@nuhre Yeah, that's what I hope as well.
Did they actually manage to make a Dragon Age dragon look cuddly?? Weird...
Do they choose Rook by having everyone fight, and then choosing the one person who can do damage? Oh, it looks like Rook is our leader, he did some damage. Onward to adventure!
They played rock, paper, scissors, and Rook lost
I love your rage 😂 everything they show me about the new game boils my blood when I think of another beloved series go this way. The new dragons look like pets 😂
1.4K and more entertaining than most channels with 1 million subs. Might wanna change the name tho...
she had like 200 a week ago, so she's flying. also whats wrong with nuhre? are we really going to act like one of the largest youtubers on the site isn't a grown man called "captain sparkles"?
BTW, the fact that they made all companions pan-*exual, doesn't it strip them off their kinda individuality? They wanted inclusivity so they decided to make all of them absolutely preference-less. Sure, in real life nobody has preferences and sure it in no way defines who they are. Even in **itty Inquisition Sera was female-only romanceable and for some it was a big minus, here, like, well, they are just rubber *ex-dolls without any personal preference, you can do whatever you want to any of them...
And yeah, the combat system and absolutely mitigated usefulness of companions in battle...this is what we probably all deserve now, cause we like *ussies....
4:44 indeed. They're now same as immortal companions in clunky swtor that's haunted by poor old alpha hero engine 😐 They also do same damage as when chicken tries to leave mark into oak tree.
6:10 I truly dislike this scene, it could be so good to estabilish Wardens as elite warriors killing darkspawn left and right but how can I take them seriously when one of their elite looking warriors die to lamest enemy which our strong and perfect MC defeats single handedly? I want Dragon Agebto feel epic again, like Battle of Denerim, Ostragar, hells defending Amaranthuse and not this
Also looks like mediocore action game and bad Dragon Age, but yeah people will call me hater for disliking game which is not even out yet while they treat the game as second coming of Christ without even playing it too
Hells they even managed to make mage, my favourite class (Andrastian pro-circle, people hate me for this)
6:22 and OG game would let us see big bad tear random soilder apart
Alright you popped up on my feed and I went down the rabbit hole of your content and you have a new fan. You talk that shit and keep it real. Very rare on here these days
The lack of blood n gore was something i wasn't conciously aware of. But yea, it's obvisioulsy sanatized through and through.
Remember the "modern audience" is the devs,reviewers who gets free copies,cosplayers, and shippers-
All the Qunari look like supermodels. The Dragons look like melted plastic & the darkspawn look like undead.
Wow they really dropped a video about a tutorial on how you appoint skills? 😮. Why don't you show me how to take something out of my inventory Bioware. Cause I've clearly never played a video game before.😂😅
They spoiled also design of main villain , in the first treilers they hide her from of but not show us blood mage/blight mage and it looks so cartoon to, even scenes of blood magic from origins looked very cool and brutal(try to remember Jowan)and game sayed to us that he was begginer in magic , but why he looked stronger than corrupted creature from fade🤡
What confuses me is that the new darkspawn and dragons look like the result of the Reaper experiments from Mass Effect 3. Look, it's a husky! And the blue dragon has tumors like the Harvester!
Klingon race confirmed?
The most based review is a women. How the tables have turned
The character models are plastic bobbleheads and the dragon looks like a muppet. I guess it makes designing the Funko's easier. I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves....RIP Bioware.
Want to see a proper "blighted" dragon. Check out images for Zhaitan in Guild Wars 2
"some areas are so dark", yeah areas with less light, just that. No blood, no dead corpses, no scary enemies, just fewer light sources, that's the dark we get in this shit. The only thing that comes to my mind was corypheus saying "Beg that I succeed",he was right, if he had succeeded we wouldn't have this shit game. How the enemies can look so bad..
Fuck it! You have my sub!
So much anger! 😂
I have to start censoring swear words for RUclips and let me tell you... I'm dreading it. LET ME BE ANGRY IN PEACE, RUclips!
@@nuhre No! Your unfiltered rage is what makes you relatable. That's why you don't have simps 😛
@@Kubwaw I scare them
15:55 What's funny is that in Inquisition, you can ask Krem if he'd transition with magic meaning it's probably not only possible but something some people have actually done.
Wasn't the question if he would do it if possible and he wasn't sure he would since it would probably be weird/dangerous af magic
Bro thats a dragon?? Why does it move so stiff and looks so cartoony, it doesnt look menacing at all. Everything is soft.
You know what could salvage that dragon running up the wall cinematic, a view from your characters perspective, so you can see how huge it is running up there and then you spot the second dragon descending. God any gamer could direct better than this trash.
We rememeber what good games were like, so we can tell when things are not right. This game feels unfinished.
Just watching this great video btw
1. When your stuck in. War is hell your not clean. He's got wounds. Not bleeding. Wtf. There should be mangles corpses and limbs laying about.
2. The dragons. What in the fuuucc... You've played elden ring? A dragon is placudissax or even agheel. Shit even the dragons in inquisition were pretty great comparing directly to dragon age.
That Corinne guy keeps pushing romances and choices on us. The latter pisses me off worse. I gurantee these choices won't matter and will be one universal ending
Unlike origins. Witcher, cyberpunk, baldurs gate, mass effect..... I feel like they are hiding things. Shills are shilling and actual critical fans only see the scraps
Gotta be reminded previews always put the product in its best light
Lastly yesterday in your video
I agree why can't they.kust give us at least hypothetical of how choices matter. They don't because they won't matter outside dialogue
Okay *crackles knuckles* there are a lot of things wrong with what was shown here, but I want to specifically address the Blighted Dragons, Ghilan'nain, and the Darkspawn shown here.
1.) Corius the Icetalon: First, Corius the Icetalon at least *seems* to be a male name for a High Dragon; thus that presents us with our first problem. HIGH DRAGONS CANNOT BE MALE!! All High Dragons are exclusively female as the males don't grow to be that large, nor do they have wings. However, I won't harp on this too much as we had the likes of Vinsomer, Hivernal, and Kaltenzahn in Inquisition; so traditionally masculine names for High Dragons aren't necessarily uncommon. That being said, if Corius ends up being a male High Dragon, I will be justifiably angry.
Second, the design. What in the living fuck?! Who did you hire to make the designs for Corius, the other Blighted Dragon, and Ghilan'nain, because that person needs to be fired! Seriously, does no one remember how cool, but gross, Urthemiel looked in Origins? The whole point of his design was that he used to be the Old (Dragon) God of Beauty, and now his form had been corrupted and twisted by The Blight to turn him into this undead-looking mockery of what he once was. We don't get that anymore. Instead, we get *this* decrepit monstrosity that looks like crab covered in barancles; a distorted xenomorph; and a poorly designed High Dragon all mixed together.
2.) Ghilan'nain: First of all, why does Ghilan'nain look like this weird tentacle monster that's reminiscent of someone throwing together a Xenomorph and something from Resident Evil? She is the Dalish Goddess of Guides and Navigation, as well as the Mother of the Halla. Yes, I know she's infected with The Blight, but her design would be far more appropriate if she possessed the appearance of a corrupted and twisted Halla, rather than whatever the fuck this is. Secondly, why is she bothering with the Darkspawn? At least from what Solas has told us regarding these bastards, they designed the Vallaslin to subjugate and control the Dalish people, so why aren't they taking control of them and using them for whatever they require ALONGSIDE the Darkspawn. Granted, an explanation of this could be present within the game's narrative, but from what we've seen so far, I have no faith it will be satisfying or well-written.
3.) The Darkspawn: There designs are atrocious and abominable, and whoever redesigned them should be fired as well. Also, Darkspawn emerging from "Blight Pools" is fucking stupid when you remember that one of the major threats they pose is that they are ferocious when it comes to burrowing through the Earth in large hoards for ambushes. Plus, the concept behind these "Blight Pools" seems to be that they spawn Darkspawn, even though that isn't how it works because that is the reason that Broodmothers exist. Remember? The Broodmothers whose design they've also colossally fucked up based on what we've seen in the trailers. I remember.
As a closing statement, I have one question: Where the fuck are the Old Gods?! A lot of people have long speculated that the Evanuris and the Old Gods are one in the same, and that when the Tevinter Magisters broke into The Fade at the behest of the Old Gods whispering to them in their dreams, it was, in fact, the Evanuris who were whispering from their prisons within The Fade in an effort to trick humanity into releasing them. In addition, the speculation continues that when the Tevinter Magisters were cast out of The Fade, the Evanuris's souls were rendered from their physical bodies (the ones trapped in The Fade) and took the form of the Old Gods (large, powerful dragons) as that is the way they depicted themselves to their worshippers within the Tevinter Imperium. As a result of their souls being rendered from their physical forms (as well as their souls taking on new forms they couldn't control), they entered into a state of permanent hibernation until such a time that the Darkspawn came and corrupted their new form, at which point they were driven mad with an insatiable lust to destroy all life within Thedas. So, I'd like to come back to my intital question and ask a slighty more detailed one: Where are Razikale and Lusacan? Since the intial concepts of this game, they have been teasing the audience with the idea that this game would center around a double Blight (a.k.a. the worst Blight Thedas has seen since the first one). Instead, the only dragons we've seen have been two ugly-looking randos that serve an even uglier looking rando (I know Ghilan'nain isn't technically a rando, but based on how godawful her design is, it felt fitting).
This would have been the game to actually shore-up all these theories, and actually give us definitive answers regarding the Evanuris, the Old Gods, The Blights, the Second Sin, etc. None of that is going to happen though, because the people who wrote and designed this game didn't have a clear goal when making this game, other than "how can we strip away everything that made this series unique in the first place".
I will be your simp.
I'm not usually swinging this way, but you speak my language oF hAtE!!!!!!! 💀❤
Thank you, pookie. We are united by a bond of hatred.
Wait, how are we even supposed to kill archdemons if we are not grey warden? Only grey warden should be able to kill them and be a grey warden is just one of the backstories the character can have, and in the fight in the video there was none grey warden, so how they intend to kill 2 archdemon dragons, and a elven goddess to boot?
Omg! Thank you! That would be a great twist-imagine your hero delivers the killing blow, and everyone thinks the threat is over, but then it comes back to life and kills a companion just as you let your guard down. But I doubt they’d do that, especially since we’re going to have a Grey Warden in the group, or even have the option to be one ourselves. I’m sure they’ll reveal all the organization’s secrets then.
The dragon is a manifestation of what they've done to the franchise.
It used to be a force of nature, a frikking demon that can't be stopped. Now it's deformed and laughable shadow of what it used to be. You look at this dragon and at first it seems hilarious, but moment later it's just sad.
On another note, I'm confused. Why the hell they didn't take notes on the DAI dragons for the combat against them??? There's literally 12 of them you can learn from, and they used to literally shoot fire meteors at you, move and spin a lot faster.
Hell, the fight against Flemeth was much more interesting. She shot fire, chomped you if you aimed for the head from a close range, stunted you by roaring, whipped you with her tail if you tried to attack her from the back, among other things.
Looks like this shall be the one where I'll play in nightmare difficulty (assuming such choice wasn't among those that may overwhelm new players and therefore wasn't included). Even DA2 had a moment where you had to change the difficulty and DAI was imo rather hard on nightmare at the beggining of the game or if you didn't kill any dragon and got their loot
Eyo are all Spanish chicks this fkin based?
Only me
Oh the irony of Gaider calling fans 'tourists' when the game director for DAV didn't even know who Zevran was in an interview a month ago. Just proves they're all full of 💩and only use the term as a slur when people don't richard-ride every slop sandwich they throw at them.
Hi, sorry in advance for the walltext but I just discovered the channel and I'm already relating so much with your rants.
I'm glad to have found there are still people like you who aren't afraid at all to bite back at those wishing only to see the world on fire and own everything we love and grew up with.
I never played the the Dragon Age saga yet indirectly knew about it when it launched thanks to a friend of mine who does LARP focused on it.
Hearing about the new game, I thought of finally starting Origins and while I was looking up how to make it work on my PC I stumbled on this video.
Now I fully know the feeling of bitterness seeing the franchise you love being tainted and ripped apart by sharks who won't even buy the game since they care only about their own ego.
Unfortunately my favorite videogame saga, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, has been tainted too.
Aspyr managed to censor it already in the recent Remastered announcement trailer, as per usual (like what happened with the Tomb Raider I-III one), by editing the pre-existing textures (female stone statue) that irked those who still do not want to differentiate fantasy from reality for purely selfish reasons and false moralism.
They even gave cartoonish edges to the models for no reason (because it makes "perfectly" sense in a grim and dark setting, right?).
On top of this now the owner of the IP (Embracer, jesus...) will just profit over the fact that many LoK fans are going to buy it with a good heart since it's something we have been waiting forever.
It was the same for me, and I was already planning to introduce my 6yo niece to the saga through the remastered, as my brother had done with me before, while now I will have to dust off my original CDs.
I'm fully convinced that no video game for adults should be ever censored, of any kind. They are made to escape reality for a good reason and if those also have limitations then playing them would no longer make sense... Adults are by definition mature enough to withstand crude themes. (side note: it should speak volumes if even Mr.Bean, Rowan Atkinson, had to talk about how valuable is free speech)
What hurts the most is how everywhere you go now, even on official game development discord servers, you are not free to criticize any of those games aspects unless you want to have 5 of those people suddenly gang up and harass you and anyone else who steps up to back you up, no matter the amount of common sense you throw at them. Obviously all while you are getting double standards instead.
So far they targeted us men and abused our masculinity as a justification for pushing the same mantra but now they are going after women as well.
They already started denigrating females characters in old videogames of being "too surreal" (e.g. Lara Croft) and by intentionally worsening the respective digital models, while at the same time they can't even process how to design a mild-interesting one from the ground or how to bring up a decent story for the same reason, to justify their distorted view of "diversity".
This concept has always been in videogames and I remember when I was a kid there was this particular character who struck me as a very authentic and relatable woman of color. Darci Stern, the main protagonist of the Urban Chaos game, which I loved and still do because I think it was GTA 3 precursor in many aspects. Her character design and her background were spot on and her personality very engaging, all while never touching any of the common stereotypes.
Yet I feel like those people won't stop at this.
Their next target will likely be the true LGBTQ+ community, the one which doesn't want to have anything to do with them, which I bet is also already sick of being thrown around and used as a shield for everything messed up they do.
It's them against us all gamers (male, female, true LGBTQ+) and what baffles me is how, within their bigotry, they'll never see this coming, and I hope things goes this way.
They are intolerant of everyone being intolerant of them persistently twisting the common sense.
I'm sorry for the insane long post, and I'm aware this will be annoying (it is) to read, but I still hope you will always keep up fighting for your videogames vision, and even more women take example from you.
Thank you
Why does everything look like shit? Even the dragons look like shit.
I am so glad your brought up Corypheus dragon as a comparison as there is no competition between the two, and how you give his character introduction the respect it deserves.
Easiest boss fight I have seen. Solo dragon kill without taking any real damage while companions just ran around distracting the dragon? I guess. It's basically just a dating simulator at this point.
How fucking awesome would the Dragon Age series had been if it was all built around the Hero of Ferelden & the Grey Wardens.
I said this on a different video but, I don't know if I like the warden armor. Apart from the helmet it doesn't stand out to me like the previous games. Is it just me or has anyone else thought about it? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
I hate it! It looks like it's a prop or a cosplay. Made to look "good" instead of just being cool looking AND functional.
I think the devs should rebrand to Bio- where the f@ck is all the talent?
The Dragons head kinda reminds me of the The Kett from Mass Effect Andromeda
Just noticed, when you where critiquing the blood not appearing, it did appear when the third darkspawn attacked the knight 11:15-11:16 but the blood is just appearing, if we watch it frame by frame the blood looks like just another layer got added, without contact from the creature. They make it look like the DSpawn is biting but there no contact.
Like beyond terrible . So your right there is either no blood or fabricated. Because oh it should be there, so they put it in even though it doesn't overlap with the actions that are happening.
just thought I would mention it, maybe you missed it
I totally missed it. This game was made by people with two singular neurons.
@@nuhre 🤣 well said, made me laugh
I can absolutely relate when you say they killed your favorite franchise im a bit Lord of the Rings fan and in the past few years all they did is completely shit on it like never before rings of power is abysmal, that upcoming game Tales of the shire is DEI infested so yeah i can totally relate and it sucks!
Asmongolds reddit sent me here, enjoyed your video, subbed :)
Welcome aboard!
It was so nice of the dragon to land in the random battle arena for them to fight in.
Everyone is this game is nice. Even the villains
That thumbnail doesnt look like she was serious/angry. It looks like she smelled something bad, like the game itself
Well now I'm more convinced that I'm using the money I had for DA but for buying Dragon's Dogma 😅
3:09 She's part Klingon.
