Thank you for the review, it was actually very helpful. I have never played dragon age and it was nice to hear someone talk about the game they were reviewing without moaning about missing the older ones.
The past few days I’ve been finding this game really relaxing to just sit back and play giving a nice change of pace from the competitive shooters lately. Plus this is my first dragon age so I went into it with a pretty open mind and I’m pretty damn satisfied so far. Actually looking forward to do a rogue playthrough after my mage
1:25, I'm already fixated on "skipped the cutscenes to get through to the end..." bc this is supposed to be a narrative game, damn. Not on you Fallout, I'm just disappointed the game isn't exciting all the way to the end. Imagine a friend recommended a book and the last 50-100 pages I'm reading thinking "get to the point already!" Or if this was a movie, sounds like this is the kind of movie my mom would fall asleep during and wake up during the credits and say, "that was pretty good :)" lol
Ah, finally. A normal criticizm from a guy that actually FINISHED the freaking game. All I heard up to this point is like "this game is bad because Taash exists". Yes, this character is a walking cringe generator, but game doesn't end on one particular character. The main reason why this game was a huge failure is EA. It was such a bad showcase of the game that 80% of the potential audience didn't even want to launch the game because they got very wrong idea what this game is about and for. As for me, I'm more then pleased with the game. Combat is good, 5 of 7 characters are decent, story is lot better then I expected, it has surprisingly good optimisation and most of all - it closes all those lore questions that I had after inquisition. So as the inquisition sequel the game is a 100% success.
Totally agree with you the game is no where near as bad as people are claiming imo. The way the Taash story was written was so unnecessary tho, and it has possibly tanked the whole franchise sadly.
I finished the freaking game. Its garbage. The lazy rehash of the suicide mission completely falls on its face simply because i couldn't care less about any of these bozos called "companions", fk, i cheered when some of them died. Trying to hype up Rook, an absolute nobody with zero input on how the story goes as some sort of larger than life Commander Shepard type also fails miserably.
@@Gungrave123 That’s what I’ll never understand with Dragon Age, why not have previous companions from each game return, established characters who are already loved by fans and who people would love to see return. This was the best opportunity to have Inquisiter, Hawke and the Warden return too. It made no sense to have rook deal with solas. Inquisitor should have been much more involved.
@@Gungrave123 every DA game has started with a "nobody" main character and a bunch of unknown companions (with maybe 1 old one like with Anders or Varric). But yes, I agree that this was basically copy-pasted from ME2. And whole gameplay is 90% taken from God of War. But overall...I've seen real garbage. That's not it. It's just a medium level game.
I really appreciate how there was actively no political agenda in this review as seems to be the issue with so many folks reviewing this game right now. The game is obviously not a 1/10 the same way it’s clearly not a 10/10. I’m just a little confused about some aspects of your review. You talked about how there’s “great replay ability” specifically about how much impact your character choices have but then you also say that rook is kind of their own character and doesn’t really allow for nuance in decisions. You also said that the story was good yet openly admitted that you were skipping cutscenes because it wasn’t compelling for you. You then mentioned about how you thought the combat was good but then you were easily face tanking mobs and had no use for potions which leads one to believe it wasn’t all that great. Some of these opinions just seemed a little contradictory.
@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc It's weird to call it a" political agenda" to have a transgender character in the game. Is it a political agenda to have a woman character? Or to have a black or Asian character? All they did was include a character who represents people who exist in the world. Seems like a weird thing to b3 triggered by, or to boycott a game over.
@@davidoliver62 politica agenda is smuggling western narratives and pronoun stuff into localizations in different, properly gendered languages and exposing audience worldwide to this Tumblr/Twitter stuff.
@@davidoliver62 The character is telling their story as any other side character (in any game) tells their story. It's a little clunky as side quests go, but actively disliking it takes bigotry on the part of the player in my view, which is hardly the fault of the game.
BTW, your review convinced me to buy this game. Thank you. I was so much on the fence, torn. But you are a dad gamer looking for easy fun and so am I. I purchased this game yesterday and plan to hit it hard and have some fun.
@@rechelieu That's very true. Social media sometimes gets into a feeding frenzy over some games. Days Gone was another that got such a kicking at launch, yet is now rightly considered a classic.
Some of the lore revelations were mind blowing to me, it’s a pity most of the other writing with dialogue and player choices didn’t live up to it. They sapped momentum of some of the good character arcs with mandatory breaks so they didn’t flo
i hate the trans politics and seeing no boobs in character creation fking my game lol but i bought this to have fun as there are no soulslike or any graphical game till next year. Any tips?
Level up the Caretaker asap to get better gear. Put it on hard. Rogue if you like dodging, warrior parry, or mage for range (some exceptions to this in specializations). If you come across enemies that take forever to kill you’re either under leveled or not optimized. Skip all the boring cutscenes, some of the companion quests are good but some are bad. Some great build crafting here but don’t expect Wukong or Souls level of second phase bosses, you’re mostly looking to do the most damage in the most fun way possible. There’s a unique ring that makes all your abilities crit but hurts you that I like to get in the cross roads
I mean it does go dark places... death of loved ones, etc etc... but its NOT a dark miserable game, the way it handles these darker things is more soft... just because of the way the game looks... etc... BUT... yah its not dark dark... not even close...
@@TrueVanguardyour returned with your tale between the legs after licking the boots of EA, did they paid you or you just want to make a good impression so they keep sending games for free ? Pathetic
I made it to Act/Chapter 8 before I gave up, I bought the game getting past the Disney look but the dialogue is too soft, nice, cringy and feels like it was written by a 12 year old. I think act 8 makes you progress some companion quests and I had no interest in them. It's also made worse by the fact that there are so many horrible, cringe worthy cutscenes.
I played all 3 dragon ages' and due to the the things you mentioned I didnt even buy it, even tho I was pretty hyped for it like a year ago. I just dont recognize any dragon age in this whatsoever, I dont even know how to compare it with origins or even inquisition. looking at playernumbers Id say a pretty big chunk felt the same way as I did also.
@@sofajockeyUK okay, can you get a bit more specific?the combat for example could make sense, but besides that from what I have seen I wouldnt know what(seriously,thats why Im asking)
@@schuschnix5261 The companion quests are the soul of the game, that's why it's called Veilguard nor Dreadwolf. For me, Harding, Bellara, Emmrich and Lucanis are the stand-out quests.
My playthrough I'm doing as a slayer warrior, and maybe its a skill issue, but some of the "boss" fights it's like you're forced to constantly dodge, and I find it *very* difficult in these fights to build rage to use my abilities. Also the romancing you hit on the nose, this go through I'm trying to romance Neve, and I feel like she *barely* reacts, if at all, to flirting dialogues, to the point that I'm not actually sure if the relationship is progressing at all.
To build rage use mages time stop ability with the skill that allows you to use 1 ability for free in the frozen time and the other skill that gives you 50 rage at the end of it. Also harding/lucanis buff ability can be built to give you 50 rage every 19 seconds of cooldown. With those 2 alone you should have unlimited rage
I'll look into those, thanks. I don't have any issues with rage outside of the boss fights where it feels like I can get one-two hits then have to dodge zoning power attacks. There was one... The champion in wetlands maybe, that just had a permanent red circle around them. I've found mage more enjoyable to play, but I look forward to returning to the warrior and trying out your advice.
I’m closing in on 70 hours and still nowhere near finished 😂 easily in my top 3 games of 2024. I’m playing as a warrior, and the combat is a lot of fun. Can definitely see myself doing another play through as either a mage or Rogue. I like the way the different areas slowly open up more and more, and the game usually rewards you if you go exploring off the beaten path. Good video btw 👍
I have finally played through the game and onto my second playthrough. I am glad for your balanced review and as always genuine feelings. I was following this game for a long time before it came out. Even before the first teaser came out with the dreadwolf title. I can shed some light on why the dialog isn't as good. It is due to the fact that in the middle of development bioware let go of 50 of their employees including several lead writers. Why is a bit up in the air for me. I suspect EA wished to downsize, after the failures of Anthem and Andromeda, and punished Bioware for it. Either that or some employees left due to a rumor that the game was being developed as a live service game for a time. I don't know how true that theory is but it is a possibility. Which could explain the quality of the main story vs the quality of the interpersonal dialog. It also would make sense why the combat is more action oriented, which i prefer greatly to the previous but i understand why some people would dislike the shift. However it is a quality game, well worth my time as a dragon age fan. Im just sad bad faith creators made content on the game without discussing the real issues, inflating the culture war aspects of the game to the enth degree, rather than talking about the writers who were lost. Or confiming the rumors of reseting development to before it was meant to be live service. Instead people were angry about superficial things that other people told them to be mad about. I followed this game. I knew what was going on. I've also played every other game, considering even the confirmed challenge of losing 50 employees during development, let alone the possibility of having to change design directives twice. This is a better game than i was expecting, and only a bit disappointing to what i was hoping for.
I’m surprised how much I enjoyed this game. The biggest downers for me were the armor & weapon designs. Also, a lot of the dialogue was repeating the same crap over & over again, and very few interesting moments occurred between companions at the Lighthouse. That said, this game is way better than expected.
This is the clear, no bs review that properly contextualizes the culture war stuff I've been waiting for. Also, the combat looks sick. It's just too bad they called this a Draganage game. The should have just called it, Marvel: The Veilgard and everyone would have been happy.
Good review man. Really helped me nail it down. The completely polarising critic and user reviews have been so confusing that I wasn't even gonna consider this game until I heard some sensible feedback.
5:28 As I consume various gamers’ opinions on the Veilguard combat, I am perplexed by the reviews. Some gamers (like TV, here in this video) claim the combat system is “really fun; enjoyable”. Meanwhile, others claim the combat is “boring, tedious, and/or uninteresting”. That’s strange, in my opinion. Typically game combat is either fun or tedious. It’s very rarely both of those things simultaneously. This leaves me wondering why are opinions on Veilguard combat so disparate?
I will agree, the combat is extremely good in this game, combining skill tree's, gear, runes, primers and detonators, and companion gear/abilities... there is some fun stuff you can do... and the gear... once fully upgraded, with all the unique gear you can find.. you can do some fun fun creative stuff...
Always enjoy hearing your takes on things, TV! I'm not done with my playthrough yet, but I went necromancer too and I'm having a BLAST! Regarding the romance system, I do agree that I prefer previous DA games for the most part. I will say that the problem you experienced may have been compounded by the fact that Bellara is more of a "slow burn" romance? At least that's what I've heard. Lucanis is the same way. Different characters romances proceed at different paces depending on their personality.
What do you make of the criticism that the series is getting too far from DAO in that it was a dark brutal world and dark fantasy, but this entry makes it something more in-line with Marvel's upbeat narratives and the graphics of a Pixar and Disney? From what I've seen of the game it takes big steps to be far away from DAO. I question if it's a DA game at all, but more of a cosplay of a DA game.
Honestly, DA2 took a much bigger step away from origins than this game took from either 2 or inquisition. At least as far as the story and writing go. I just got done with replaying all 3 games leading up to the Veilguard release, and by the time I made it to VG it just felt like Dragon Age. Not Origins, because none of the other games felt like that one.
@@shawnvaljean9260 I wouldn't say any of the predecessors tempted a Shrek look of Pixar, but many of the characters of Shrek could easily be slipped into DAV without being too noticeable. I don't recall thinking the DA series was similar to a Marvel with a light hearted hero nature that this game is described as having. I think it's made for a younger generation of 10 -15 year olds where the others aimed a little higher, but past DA fans, especially ones since DAO are much older. The combat doesn't look anything like the past, and the past games look very similar to each other. It does appear they also reworked the dialogue functions like every other DA, but the choice in personality is just bad, and the romantic relationship as well. It sounds like a game for someone else, not the DA I remember.
7 is how I feel about the game. Had the dialogue been better it could have been so much better. The other 3 games were just better. DA2 I give an 8. DAI and DAO I give a 9 each with a really strong 9 borderline 10 for DAO
they took the 'dark' out of dark fantasy previous DA entries were and gave us bobblehead pixar characters with poorly written cheesey uninteresting dialogue, which is hard to give a pass to in a roleplaying game. it's the first dragon age game I am opting not to buy, as it is only wrapped in the label of dragon age relying on the pre-established franchise to get money from me.
Because you haven't played it. The beginning of the game is mid. The second half of the game is so outstandingly stellar that it leaves a great feeling. Game scores are about how much fun we have. You can have a 10/10 experience in a game with issues
@@RandomWandrerInteresting idk if I can agree with the score system you have. If you tell me a game is a 5 then it's average. Not bad not great just time to kill. If you tell me a game is a 7 then this game is great with little issues. If you tell me this game is a 10 then that means everything was perfect for what the game offers. Visuals, music, game play, story, character design and development, pacing of the game, the theme of the game, and more. I can say TV felt the same way about this game based on his review. Still the most modest review. He didn't trash the game for the LGBT and other inclusion factors.
How is it that you think you can determine his review better than he can? how does that make any sense... he played it... and he determined it was a 7... and your just like "well I feel like you aren't being real with yourself" more like a 5 or 6...
@@RandomWandrer I disagree completely. The finalle is just a lazy rehash of ME2 suicide mission, that is needlessly bloated and fails completely due to the simple fact of how unlikable both Rook and his/hers companions are. I couldn't care less for any of them.
The combat and builds are the only thing that have my interest in this game. Everything else I’ve seen is just so cringe to me. Coming from some one who hates most wb style shows like you mentioned.
Yea man, I made it to act 8 before I couldn't continue, it was requiring me to do some side quests with companions and I just can't listen to them talk along with my own lines. After a certain point of skipping dialogue, I just gave up.
Just two more classes to go. Regarding story length, I'm almost 60 hrs in and still have 5 chapters to go, and still have a ton of side content to go as well. I'm estimating 100+ hrs per playthrough, 300 total for all 3 characters (although my next playthrough should be faster).
13:22 Combat is fun? Well, you are clearly our of your mind... Well, can't expect anything less from Destiny player. And relationships? Who tf cares about it? Sure it's one component of the game, but I would say people overall prefer story and gameplay above anything else.
Aside from the criticism about dialogue that I've seen, the rest seems to be that alot of people dropped the difficulty after a few hours to get it over with. That's already a red flag to me, since that's the gameplay loop. I've heard the end is pretty great, BUT you have to sit through the rest of the game to get there and alot of people seem to be using the ending being good to hand wave the rest of the game being mid. Also a red flag imo.
Ill be honest, 50 hours for a full completion is terrible news, i played all the games on xbox when they came out, and played through them all again on steam when the news of Veilguard dropped. Im a completionist and took about 85 hours for origins, about 75 hours for 2, and about 110 hours for Inquisition...they arent planning on adding dlcs to Veilguard...making it the smallest Dragon Age game by far, which along with all the other complaints the game has had, makes me incredibly dissapointed
Making content skippable is a curious kind of “feature” to offer the player. “We’re going to be stuffing the game with lots of, well, frankly it’s shyte. Straight up cringe and pretty damn asinine. But guess what? Get excited! We also include a skip button in your $60 game! Who does that, amiright?! We here at BioWare think of everything you might need!” The thing is, it’s not fully skippable. You end up hourglassed into a Taash sequence about wearing dresses and such, you end up likely playing the Taash crap on an initial playthrough not knowing how stupid it’s going to get and wondering if you have to indulge it in order to win the game, and right at the start of the game w the cc you’re corralled into androgyny and have to just ignore it or git gud enough to compensate for the skin texture and slider restrictions.
HOW?! I have been playing all day everyday since the game came out, but I don´t even have all the companions yet! The last one I am getting today! How can you be finished? Didn´t you sleep at all? xD
@Benjj99413 hmmm wukong, space marine 2, sins of solar empire 2, baldur's gate, red dead redemption 2. We have better games and those are just some examples. The thing is THEY dont want better games, too much efforts and creativity required. So yah, why tryna change them when u can just ditch them for actual devs and studios that are making real games.
Veilguard has an age rating of 16, Baldur's Gate 3 has 18. Are these 2 years in age rating the reason why the "dating and mating" part in Veilguard is so weak? I played the game 25 hours, have done all companion quests, including the one with the lesbian companion - you call her trans companion. For me, the "love interest" writing in Veilguard is for 12 years old. At this time they write "do you want to go with me: yes, no, maybe" notes. Important point you did not talk about: the side quests are better then the main quests.
i hate the comical trans shoving on anything, fk that... but i bought this now for fun as there's no soulslike or anything graphical till next year. Hope i have a good time
thank you for such a good review, I'm about 20 hours in, and absolutely having some of the same issues you've pointed out, I'm adjusting to the combat still on normal difficulty, but it is fun and flashy. did not like a few characters, like the one you mentioned as well, they just feel childish sometimes and not written well and forced. I have some other qualms too, like them referring to my character background where Varric recruits you, but you don't play that at all, so I'm pulled out as they talk about why I'm there, as well as you motioned sometimes m character just does things in a way that feels directed by the developers, but I'm looking forward to the games conclusion, feeling around a 7 so far as well for the rating midway.
@@Ccubed92 just because you have an easy time understanding and implementing the combat on harder difficulties isn't the same for others. fights for me on normal just feel really tank like and I get that its prob because I'm not combining abilities correctly or enough, and I prob need to re-read abilities and armor to correctly use my tools to beat the enemies I face.
Every character was cool . Expect for Taash. And I hate that because she was so funny in the podcast story. But they made such a cool concept character as a mouth piece
Good to know. However, I still don't want to spend too much money on this, so I'm waiting on sales. I'm against with the Pandering personally, but I am interested in the Gameplay overall. So if I can really just ignore Taash, then I'm good. I don't think the "Character" I'm playing as Rook will be exactly as I wanted it to be, incomparison to Baldur's Gate 3. I do not think I'm going to enjoy it, but I still want to give it a fair shot but not at full price. I want to try the builds more than anything, but I also don't want to support the things I'm vehemently against but that's a personal bias.
there is not much choice and consequence, side quests are like mmo style, cities dont feel like cities etc... combat is flashy but gets boring later on. all this screams like NOT DRAGON AGE. so no ... not even 7 out of 10.
Tbh cities have never felt otherwise in any DA. It always was a bunch of straight corridor paths put together. Denerim, Kirkwall, Val Royeaux...other towns and villages. They always were like this, nothing new here.
@@Sargatas origins had decent city designs . the dwarven capital is designed in such a way to show the hierarchy/ cast system . the towns have buildings like the bar blacksmith place etc and have decent/understandable layout.
@@csais1 Aside from Orzamaar most cities are ass in DA games. Imo, Minranthos/Dock Town is probably the best representation of a city in the series imo
Just finished the game. Let me put this staight: apart from the title this is NOT a Dragon Age game. This is an action adventure game with little RPG elements made for a broader 'mainstream' audience, let's say for teens 12-18 years. I am really dissapointed. The writing is very flat and often meaningless, the choices you make hardly impact the story (do not intend to play the 'bad boy' like in previous DA games because that's just impossible). The combat is OK early in the game but it gets so repetitive that after 20 hours I was getting bored as hell. A lot of cutscenes smash LGBTQ+ subjects straight in your face but in the very wrong way (I say this as a gay man), obviously as a part of the Bioware agenda. I play fantasy video games to get lost in another world, not to get lectured about modern time ethical subjects like if I was a 12 years old kid. The positive: the game looks gorgeous on PC and runs smoothly right off the box, a rarity in modern gaming. The last 2-3 hours of The Veilguard are phenomenal (compared to the rest of the game). My conclusion: missed opportunity for Bioware. Score: 4/10 Guess I'm gonna play BG3 for the rest of the year...
I swear I wish I could find all this LGTQ cutscenes your talking about because besides the Taash stuff its barely there. On the top of my head I can think of maybe 4 characters. That's one non binary Grey Warden medic, Dorian who was always openly gay, Maverius who was openly trans, & Taash. 3 of these characters of barely there aside from Taash Maybe I just didn't care in the end. I do agree the writing is not the greatest but I've honestly never been impressed by the writing in DA games so it is what it is
Even TV couldn't bare trough all the trama dumb nonsense dialog 🤣 One thing that's I've seen watching every review is that this game is like, literally not a Dragon Age game, or at least not done for the previous fans, even the combat mechanics are stupid.
Every new dragon age game has gotten this criticism though. They did the same thing with mass effect. Each game got less RPG and more action. Less choice and more on the rails.
Looking at Reviews and walkthroughs from different sources, I am not interested in this game. I don't need a teacher to tell me what to do. I like RPG games that are immersive and not this stupid glow and flashing effect; dialogues are like education. If I were a dump kid, I would probably play this because I don't need to think about it because it says everything. As an adult, I have expectations and innovation. I better spend money on the developer team who deserved to be rewarded. 8 years on the developer, and they come up with this crap. Do Bioware developers think that with age, we become iditios?
Based on the points you established and how you said you felt and experienced the game it would certainly be a 5/10 at the highest, completely average, mediocre. Yet you give it a 7/10? A 7/10 is an above average game, with strong aspects all throughout.
Are you gonna roll hard on Dragon Age content the way you rolled hard on SM2? If so I gotta bail on subsribing 'cause Dragon age straight up is not as good as SM2
There's not really anything to cover, like I said in the vid I'll be back to SM2 stuff for the time being. But it's not like a live service game or anything. But I will warn you, I make videos on new games often. If I play it, I'll make a couple vids on it at least. That's just part of the job, man. My recommendation to you is to actually subscribe to my Space Marine playlist. Then you'll only get notifications for those uploads, super simple to do.
@@Wonko-bj4jx nearly every RUclipsr that isn't a single game influencer, regardless of what they cover, roll on whatever the algorithm is pushing, because that's where the views are and where the money is.
It’s mad you have to spend like 2 minutes or so to talk about a trans character. In the past people wouldn’t even have noticed this and now it is a decision when buying a game. Nuts. Anyway good review overall, the linear nature of the role playing puts me off
All the people whining about the trans stuff when like you said, it's totally avoidable or can be skipped through and yet people are totally hyper focused on it. Honestly if it makes some struggling groups of people feel seen then great and I'm happy for it to be in there. Will I skip through it myself? Probably, simply because it seems to have been handled in a pretty cringe and inorganic way. But it's not going to ruin the whole game for me! People need to get some chill 😅
Yeah but people are really tired of political correction and lectures about genders especially into a fantasy world with magic and dragons Plus the entire dialogue is really cringy and unnatural ,😐
maaan this game is so cringe. Please people... just don't buy the game.. wait for it to receive more negative reviews and no sales .... and let it fester and go on a fn sale. No one should buy this bs and give full price.. even the product tags have it as LGBTQ+ . BS . How do these projecting people even think to like the character with the amount of moaning it does.It's really sad this wasn't put to at least mixed reviewed or mostly negative. I'll wait more than a year if I have to.
Dont make excuses for games and be honest with your subs and most importantly with yourself.Games will not get better with either people shilling or just wanting to be nice.That doesnt help game evolution or human evolution by being nice and equitable but by meritocracy.

Thank you for the review, it was actually very helpful. I have never played dragon age and it was nice to hear someone talk about the game they were reviewing without moaning about missing the older ones.

Not on you Fallout, I'm just disappointed the game isn't exciting all the way to the end. Imagine a friend recommended a book and the last 50-100 pages I'm reading thinking "get to the point already!"
Or if this was a movie, sounds like this is the kind of movie my mom would fall asleep during and wake up during the credits and say, "that was pretty good :)" lol
Did you get your creators mixed up? This channel is True Vanguard, not Fallout Plays.
Best review of this game I've seen. And I agree with.
Ah, finally. A normal criticizm from a guy that actually FINISHED the freaking game. All I heard up to this point is like "this game is bad because Taash exists". Yes, this character is a walking cringe generator, but game doesn't end on one particular character.

The lazy rehash of the suicide mission completely falls on its face simply because i couldn't care less about any of these bozos called "companions", fk, i cheered when some of them died. Trying to hype up Rook, an absolute nobody with zero input on how the story goes as some sort of larger than life Commander Shepard type also fails miserably.
@@Gungrave123 That’s what I’ll never understand with Dragon Age, why not have previous companions from each game return, established characters who are already loved by fans and who people would love to see return. This was the best opportunity to have Inquisiter, Hawke and the Warden return too. It made no sense to have rook deal with solas. Inquisitor should have been much more involved.
@@Gungrave123 every DA game has started with a "nobody" main character and a bunch of unknown companions (with maybe 1 old one like with Anders or Varric). But yes, I agree that this was basically copy-pasted from ME2. And whole gameplay is 90% taken from God of War.
But overall...I've seen real garbage. That's not it. It's just a medium level game.
I really appreciate how there was actively no political agenda in this review as seems to be the issue with so many folks reviewing this game right now. The game is obviously not a 1/10 the same way it’s clearly not a 10/10. I’m just a little confused about some aspects of your review. You talked about how there’s “great replay ability” specifically about how much impact your character choices have but then you also say that rook is kind of their own character and doesn’t really allow for nuance in decisions. You also said that the story was good yet openly admitted that you were skipping cutscenes because it wasn’t compelling for you. You then mentioned about how you thought the combat was good but then you were easily face tanking mobs and had no use for potions which leads one to believe it wasn’t all that great. Some of these opinions just seemed a little contradictory.
The political agenda affects the dialogue as you well know, So it's a major factor it is a mistake to ignore.
@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc It's weird to call it a" political agenda" to have a transgender character in the game. Is it a political agenda to have a woman character? Or to have a black or Asian character? All they did was include a character who represents people who exist in the world. Seems like a weird thing to b3 triggered by, or to boycott a game over.
@@davidoliver62 politica agenda is smuggling western narratives and pronoun stuff into localizations in different, properly gendered languages and exposing audience worldwide to this Tumblr/Twitter stuff.
@@davidoliver62 The character is telling their story as any other side character (in any game) tells their story. It's a little clunky as side quests go, but actively disliking it takes bigotry on the part of the player in my view, which is hardly the fault of the game.
dude believes in the political agenda so he doesnt want to criticize it
BTW, your review convinced me to buy this game. Thank you. I was so much on the fence, torn. But you are a dad gamer looking for easy fun and so am I. I purchased this game yesterday and plan to hit it hard and have some fun.
rip
@@cheekyjebus5559 So far so good, combat is very good. Story is child like, but the combat is what I enjoy the most so the game is a win for me.
I'm a 'dad gamer' and I had a blast with it (finished yesterday).
@@sofajockeyUK Yeah, it's pretty addictive. I am involved, enjoying every minute. Sometimes you just have to take risk on a game.
@@rechelieu That's very true. Social media sometimes gets into a feeding frenzy over some games. Days Gone was another that got such a kicking at launch, yet is now rightly considered a classic.
Some of the lore revelations were mind blowing to me, it’s a pity most of the other writing with dialogue and player choices didn’t live up to it. They sapped momentum of some of the good character arcs with mandatory breaks so they didn’t flo
i hate the trans politics and seeing no boobs in character creation fking my game lol but i bought this to have fun as there are no soulslike or any graphical game till next year. Any tips?
Level up the Caretaker asap to get better gear. Put it on hard. Rogue if you like dodging, warrior parry, or mage for range (some exceptions to this in specializations). If you come across enemies that take forever to kill you’re either under leveled or not optimized. Skip all the boring cutscenes, some of the companion quests are good but some are bad. Some great build crafting here but don’t expect Wukong or Souls level of second phase bosses, you’re mostly looking to do the most damage in the most fun way possible. There’s a unique ring that makes all your abilities crit but hurts you that I like to get in the cross roads
My thoughts exactly 👍
Honestly you’ve convinced me to pick this up, good review.😊
The fact that this game isnt willing to go to dark places, as previously mentioned, is a big turn off for me. I want STRUGGLE
"dark fantasy"
Then struggle in the real world it’s a lot more authentic and personal.
I mean it does go dark places... death of loved ones, etc etc... but its NOT a dark miserable game, the way it handles these darker things is more soft... just because of the way the game looks... etc... BUT... yah its not dark dark... not even close...
@@exaeon it took the dark out of dark fantasy, loss of a loved one is something everyone experiences irl
I am NEVER EVER going to play this game
Much prefer your Space Marine content lol. SM is just pure adrenalin pumping fun to play
space marine is a considerably better game overall in my opinion, and while i enjoyed playing Veilguard I'm also glad to shelf it and get back to SM2
@@TrueVanguard Great, can't wait for more content. Your guides have been great! 🙂
I love SM2 but the latest update to Darktide promotes Darktide to the top of the pile imho.
@@TrueVanguardyour returned with your tale between the legs after licking the boots of EA, did they paid you or you just want to make a good impression so they keep sending games for free ? Pathetic
I made it to Act/Chapter 8 before I gave up, I bought the game getting past the Disney look but the dialogue is too soft, nice, cringy and feels like it was written by a 12 year old. I think act 8 makes you progress some companion quests and I had no interest in them. It's also made worse by the fact that there are so many horrible, cringe worthy cutscenes.
I played all 3 dragon ages' and due to the the things you mentioned I didnt even buy it, even tho I was pretty hyped for it like a year ago. I just dont recognize any dragon age in this whatsoever, I dont even know how to compare it with origins or even inquisition. looking at playernumbers Id say a pretty big chunk felt the same way as I did also.
@@schuschnix5261 If you like Dragon Age I think you're missing out, I think it's the best of the 4 (though all are excellent).
Your review is better then all these shill reviews or some non shill reviews that just "want to be nice" silly reviews.
@@sofajockeyUK okay, can you get a bit more specific?the combat for example could make sense, but besides that from what I have seen I wouldnt know what(seriously,thats why Im asking)
@@schuschnix5261 The companion quests are the soul of the game, that's why it's called Veilguard nor Dreadwolf. For me, Harding, Bellara, Emmrich and Lucanis are the stand-out quests.
Thanks for the honest review. 😊
Thanks for the honest takes, TV. Always sharing good info.
Damn that must have been tough lol thanks for playing this so no one else has to
My biggest problem with the game, After completing your first play thru, You can't respect your skills
tree you have to start from scratch.
I subbed because I appreciate your honesty.
A man of many talents thanks for a good and honest review
My playthrough I'm doing as a slayer warrior, and maybe its a skill issue, but some of the "boss" fights it's like you're forced to constantly dodge, and I find it *very* difficult in these fights to build rage to use my abilities. Also the romancing you hit on the nose, this go through I'm trying to romance Neve, and I feel like she *barely* reacts, if at all, to flirting dialogues, to the point that I'm not actually sure if the relationship is progressing at all.
To build rage use mages time stop ability with the skill that allows you to use 1 ability for free in the frozen time and the other skill that gives you 50 rage at the end of it. Also harding/lucanis buff ability can be built to give you 50 rage every 19 seconds of cooldown. With those 2 alone you should have unlimited rage
I'll look into those, thanks. I don't have any issues with rage outside of the boss fights where it feels like I can get one-two hits then have to dodge zoning power attacks. There was one... The champion in wetlands maybe, that just had a permanent red circle around them. I've found mage more enjoyable to play, but I look forward to returning to the warrior and trying out your advice.
Taash is one of the worst written and acted characters in a video game and it has nothing to do with they being a they/them
I think used the cop from Brooklyn 99 as inspiration
Iron Bull was the same honestly
@@iphiltodespair6186don't you dare disrespect the Bull like that
I think it has to do with they/them, because they think their worth is their inclusivity and diversity
Yeahh the moment I had to do the quest to recruit her and listening to her talk made me want to shove an icepick in both my ears. She's just awful.
I’m closing in on 70 hours and still nowhere near finished 😂 easily in my top 3 games of 2024. I’m playing as a warrior, and the combat is a lot of fun. Can definitely see myself doing another play through as either a mage or Rogue. I like the way the different areas slowly open up more and more, and the game usually rewards you if you go exploring off the beaten path. Good video btw 👍
I have finally played through the game and onto my second playthrough. I am glad for your balanced review and as always genuine feelings.
I was following this game for a long time before it came out. Even before the first teaser came out with the dreadwolf title. I can shed some light on why the dialog isn't as good. It is due to the fact that in the middle of development bioware let go of 50 of their employees including several lead writers.
Why is a bit up in the air for me. I suspect EA wished to downsize, after the failures of Anthem and Andromeda, and punished Bioware for it. Either that or some employees left due to a rumor that the game was being developed as a live service game for a time.
I don't know how true that theory is but it is a possibility. Which could explain the quality of the main story vs the quality of the interpersonal dialog.
It also would make sense why the combat is more action oriented, which i prefer greatly to the previous but i understand why some people would dislike the shift. However it is a quality game, well worth my time as a dragon age fan. Im just sad bad faith creators made content on the game without discussing the real issues, inflating the culture war aspects of the game to the enth degree, rather than talking about the writers who were lost. Or confiming the rumors of reseting development to before it was meant to be live service. Instead people were angry about superficial things that other people told them to be mad about.
I followed this game. I knew what was going on. I've also played every other game, considering even the confirmed challenge of losing 50 employees during development, let alone the possibility of having to change design directives twice. This is a better game than i was expecting, and only a bit disappointing to what i was hoping for.
FINALLY!! A REAL HONEST REVIEW!! WITH COMPLETE DISREGARD OF THE CURRENT CULTURE WAR BS
mad respect for playing a game that nobody will
Thank you for your honest review TV. Maybe I will pick this up when its on sale.
I’m surprised how much I enjoyed this game. The biggest downers for me were the armor & weapon designs. Also, a lot of the dialogue was repeating the same crap over & over again, and very few interesting moments occurred between companions at the Lighthouse. That said, this game is way better than expected.
This is the clear, no bs review that properly contextualizes the culture war stuff I've been waiting for.
Also, the combat looks sick. It's just too bad they called this a Draganage game. The should have just called it, Marvel: The Veilgard and everyone would have been happy.
I agree with you. I think most of the issues come from the fact that this is a Dragon Age sequel.
If this was a character action game this would have been beloved just it's not Dragon Age
True... lol
Good review man. Really helped me nail it down. The completely polarising critic and user reviews have been so confusing that I wasn't even gonna consider this game until I heard some sensible feedback.
5:28 As I consume various gamers’ opinions on the Veilguard combat, I am perplexed by the reviews. Some gamers (like TV, here in this video) claim the combat system is “really fun; enjoyable”. Meanwhile, others claim the combat is “boring, tedious, and/or uninteresting”.
That’s strange, in my opinion. Typically game combat is either fun or tedious. It’s very rarely both of those things simultaneously.
This leaves me wondering why are opinions on Veilguard combat so disparate?
I will agree, the combat is extremely good in this game, combining skill tree's, gear, runes, primers and detonators, and companion gear/abilities... there is some fun stuff you can do... and the gear... once fully upgraded, with all the unique gear you can find.. you can do some fun fun creative stuff...
Always enjoy hearing your takes on things, TV! I'm not done with my playthrough yet, but I went necromancer too and I'm having a BLAST! Regarding the romance system, I do agree that I prefer previous DA games for the most part. I will say that the problem you experienced may have been compounded by the fact that Bellara is more of a "slow burn" romance? At least that's what I've heard. Lucanis is the same way. Different characters romances proceed at different paces depending on their personality.
What do you make of the criticism that the series is getting too far from DAO in that it was a dark brutal world and dark fantasy, but this entry makes it something more in-line with Marvel's upbeat narratives and the graphics of a Pixar and Disney? From what I've seen of the game it takes big steps to be far away from DAO. I question if it's a DA game at all, but more of a cosplay of a DA game.
Honestly, DA2 took a much bigger step away from origins than this game took from either 2 or inquisition. At least as far as the story and writing go. I just got done with replaying all 3 games leading up to the Veilguard release, and by the time I made it to VG it just felt like Dragon Age. Not Origins, because none of the other games felt like that one.
@@shawnvaljean9260 I wouldn't say any of the predecessors tempted a Shrek look of Pixar, but many of the characters of Shrek could easily be slipped into DAV without being too noticeable.
I don't recall thinking the DA series was similar to a Marvel with a light hearted hero nature that this game is described as having. I think it's made for a younger generation of 10 -15 year olds where the others aimed a little higher, but past DA fans, especially ones since DAO are much older.
The combat doesn't look anything like the past, and the past games look very similar to each other.
It does appear they also reworked the dialogue functions like every other DA, but the choice in personality is just bad, and the romantic relationship as well.
It sounds like a game for someone else, not the DA I remember.
Ok now that you did your review let's go back to space marine!
7 is how I feel about the game. Had the dialogue been better it could have been so much better.
The other 3 games were just better. DA2 I give an 8. DAI and DAO I give a 9 each with a really strong 9 borderline 10 for DAO
they took the 'dark' out of dark fantasy previous DA entries were and gave us bobblehead pixar characters with poorly written cheesey uninteresting dialogue, which is hard to give a pass to in a roleplaying game. it's the first dragon age game I am opting not to buy, as it is only wrapped in the label of dragon age relying on the pre-established franchise to get money from me.
The modest review on this game. 7 out of 10 for a game that gives you mix emotions? Sounds like a 5 to 6 at best.
Because you haven't played it.
The beginning of the game is mid. The second half of the game is so outstandingly stellar that it leaves a great feeling. Game scores are about how much fun we have. You can have a 10/10 experience in a game with issues
@@RandomWandrerInteresting idk if I can agree with the score system you have. If you tell me a game is a 5 then it's average. Not bad not great just time to kill. If you tell me a game is a 7 then this game is great with little issues. If you tell me this game is a 10 then that means everything was perfect for what the game offers. Visuals, music, game play, story, character design and development, pacing of the game, the theme of the game, and more. I can say TV felt the same way about this game based on his review. Still the most modest review. He didn't trash the game for the LGBT and other inclusion factors.
How is it that you think you can determine his review better than he can? how does that make any sense... he played it... and he determined it was a 7... and your just like "well I feel like you aren't being real with yourself" more like a 5 or 6...
@@exaeon...whatever dude.
@@RandomWandrer I disagree completely. The finalle is just a lazy rehash of ME2 suicide mission, that is needlessly bloated and fails completely due to the simple fact of how unlikable both Rook and his/hers companions are. I couldn't care less for any of them.
The combat and builds are the only thing that have my interest in this game. Everything else I’ve seen is just so cringe to me. Coming from some one who hates most wb style shows like you mentioned.
Yea man, I made it to act 8 before I couldn't continue, it was requiring me to do some side quests with companions and I just can't listen to them talk along with my own lines. After a certain point of skipping dialogue, I just gave up.
Just two more classes to go.
Regarding story length, I'm almost 60 hrs in and still have 5 chapters to go, and still have a ton of side content to go as well. I'm estimating 100+ hrs per playthrough, 300 total for all 3 characters (although my next playthrough should be faster).
Enjoying the game. Armor color pallet and designs a little meh and the loot also felt like it left a lot to be desired. All in all good time.
13:22 Combat is fun? Well, you are clearly our of your mind... Well, can't expect anything less from Destiny player. And relationships? Who tf cares about it? Sure it's one component of the game, but I would say people overall prefer story and gameplay above anything else.
Aside from the criticism about dialogue that I've seen, the rest seems to be that alot of people dropped the difficulty after a few hours to get it over with. That's already a red flag to me, since that's the gameplay loop.
I've heard the end is pretty great, BUT you have to sit through the rest of the game to get there and alot of people seem to be using the ending being good to hand wave the rest of the game being mid. Also a red flag imo.
10 seconds ago is crazy
Ill be honest, 50 hours for a full completion is terrible news, i played all the games on xbox when they came out, and played through them all again on steam when the news of Veilguard dropped. Im a completionist and took about 85 hours for origins, about 75 hours for 2, and about 110 hours for Inquisition...they arent planning on adding dlcs to Veilguard...making it the smallest Dragon Age game by far, which along with all the other complaints the game has had, makes me incredibly dissapointed
Making content skippable is a curious kind of “feature” to offer the player.
“We’re going to be stuffing the game with lots of, well, frankly it’s shyte. Straight up cringe and pretty damn asinine. But guess what? Get excited! We also include a skip button in your $60 game! Who does that, amiright?! We here at BioWare think of everything you might need!”
The thing is, it’s not fully skippable. You end up hourglassed into a Taash sequence about wearing dresses and such, you end up likely playing the Taash crap on an initial playthrough not knowing how stupid it’s going to get and wondering if you have to indulge it in order to win the game, and right at the start of the game w the cc you’re corralled into androgyny and have to just ignore it or git gud enough to compensate for the skin texture and slider restrictions.
Can't believe they didn't put new game plus init
我通关后，还挺喜欢这个游戏，但是政治正确谋杀了这个系列，从这次销量看应该是巨亏，后续整个系列可能都没了。
HOW?! I have been playing all day everyday since the game came out, but I don´t even have all the companions yet! The last one I am getting today! How can you be finished? Didn´t you sleep at all? xD
Maybe got an early review copy.
Tldr: its Tarsh, i mean trash.
@Benjj99413 hmmm wukong, space marine 2, sins of solar empire 2, baldur's gate, red dead redemption 2.
We have better games and those are just some examples.
The thing is THEY dont want better games, too much efforts and creativity required.
So yah, why tryna change them when u can just ditch them for actual devs and studios that are making real games.
@@Benjj99413 my point, u missed it.
Let me be clear:
YOU NEED EFFORTS AND CREATIVITY TO HAVE A GOOD GAME
Veilguard has an age rating of 16, Baldur's Gate 3 has 18. Are these 2 years in age rating the reason why the "dating and mating" part in Veilguard is so weak? I played the game 25 hours, have done all companion quests, including the one with the lesbian companion - you call her trans companion. For me, the "love interest" writing in Veilguard is for 12 years old. At this time they write "do you want to go with me: yes, no, maybe" notes. Important point you did not talk about: the side quests are better then the main quests.
i hate the comical trans shoving on anything, fk that... but i bought this now for fun as there's no soulslike or anything graphical till next year. Hope i have a good time
I’m planning on playing this after I’m done with inquisition I just got into the franchise suck I can’t play origin an da2 on ps5
I love the game. It brings back so many great memories and is just fun.
thank you for such a good review, I'm about 20 hours in, and absolutely having some of the same issues you've pointed out, I'm adjusting to the combat still on normal difficulty, but it is fun and flashy. did not like a few characters, like the one you mentioned as well, they just feel childish sometimes and not written well and forced.
I have some other qualms too, like them referring to my character background where Varric recruits you, but you don't play that at all, so I'm pulled out as they talk about why I'm there, as well as you motioned sometimes m character just does things in a way that feels directed by the developers, but I'm looking forward to the games conclusion, feeling around a 7 so far as well for the rating midway.
Is normal to easy? Because I'm on nightmare and it's not even bad
@@Ccubed92 just because you have an easy time understanding and implementing the combat on harder difficulties isn't the same for others. fights for me on normal just feel really tank like and I get that its prob because I'm not combining abilities correctly or enough, and I prob need to re-read abilities and armor to correctly use my tools to beat the enemies I face.
Every character was cool . Expect for Taash. And I hate that because she was so funny in the podcast story. But they made such a cool concept character as a mouth piece
The game is just disgusting and hard to watch, the character models are vomitive.
Good to know. However, I still don't want to spend too much money on this, so I'm waiting on sales. I'm against with the Pandering personally, but I am interested in the Gameplay overall. So if I can really just ignore Taash, then I'm good. I don't think the "Character" I'm playing as Rook will be exactly as I wanted it to be, incomparison to Baldur's Gate 3. I do not think I'm going to enjoy it, but I still want to give it a fair shot but not at full price. I want to try the builds more than anything, but I also don't want to support the things I'm vehemently against but that's a personal bias.
Why would you torture yourself.
there is not much choice and consequence, side quests are like mmo style, cities dont feel like cities etc... combat is flashy but gets boring later on. all this screams like NOT DRAGON AGE. so no ... not even 7 out of 10.
Tbh cities have never felt otherwise in any DA. It always was a bunch of straight corridor paths put together. Denerim, Kirkwall, Val Royeaux...other towns and villages. They always were like this, nothing new here.
@@Sargatas origins had decent city designs . the dwarven capital is designed in such a way to show the hierarchy/ cast system . the towns have buildings like the bar blacksmith place etc and have decent/understandable layout.
@@csais1 Aside from Orzamaar most cities are ass in DA games. Imo, Minranthos/Dock Town is probably the best representation of a city in the series imo
I identify as a non-BUYnary.
Just finished the game.
Let me put this staight: apart from the title this is NOT a Dragon Age game. This is an action adventure game with little RPG elements made for a broader 'mainstream' audience, let's say for teens 12-18 years. I am really dissapointed.
The writing is very flat and often meaningless, the choices you make hardly impact the story (do not intend to play the 'bad boy' like in previous DA games because that's just impossible). The combat is OK early in the game but it gets so repetitive that after 20 hours I was getting bored as hell.
A lot of cutscenes smash LGBTQ+ subjects straight in your face but in the very wrong way (I say this as a gay man), obviously as a part of the Bioware agenda. I play fantasy video games to get lost in another world, not to get lectured about modern time ethical subjects like if I was a 12 years old kid.
The positive: the game looks gorgeous on PC and runs smoothly right off the box, a rarity in modern gaming. The last 2-3 hours of The Veilguard are phenomenal (compared to the rest of the game).
My conclusion: missed opportunity for Bioware. Score: 4/10
Guess I'm gonna play BG3 for the rest of the year...
I swear I wish I could find all this LGTQ cutscenes your talking about because besides the Taash stuff its barely there. On the top of my head I can think of maybe 4 characters. That's one non binary Grey Warden medic, Dorian who was always openly gay, Maverius who was openly trans, & Taash. 3 of these characters of barely there aside from Taash
Maybe I just didn't care in the end. I do agree the writing is not the greatest but I've honestly never been impressed by the writing in DA games so it is what it is
Even TV couldn't bare trough all the trama dumb nonsense dialog 🤣
One thing that's I've seen watching every review is that this game is like, literally not a Dragon Age game, or at least not done for the previous fans, even the combat mechanics are stupid.
Every new dragon age game has gotten this criticism though. They did the same thing with mass effect. Each game got less RPG and more action. Less choice and more on the rails.
Lmao “I didn’t vibe with the character” is not the same as “I couldn’t bare through all the trans dumb nonsense”
Please read a book.
He literally said he skipped the dialogs ignorant clown.
womp womp
Looking at Reviews and walkthroughs from different sources, I am not interested in this game. I don't need a teacher to tell me what to do. I like RPG games that are immersive and not this stupid glow and flashing effect; dialogues are like education. If I were a dump kid, I would probably play this because I don't need to think about it because it says everything. As an adult, I have expectations and innovation. I better spend money on the developer team who deserved to be rewarded. 8 years on the developer, and they come up with this crap. Do Bioware developers think that with age, we become iditios?
Based on the points you established and how you said you felt and experienced the game it would certainly be a 5/10 at the highest, completely average, mediocre. Yet you give it a 7/10? A 7/10 is an above average game, with strong aspects all throughout.
cuz he had fun i guess
Are you gonna roll hard on Dragon Age content the way you rolled hard on SM2? If so I gotta bail on subsribing 'cause Dragon age straight up is not as good as SM2
There's not really anything to cover, like I said in the vid I'll be back to SM2 stuff for the time being. But it's not like a live service game or anything. But I will warn you, I make videos on new games often. If I play it, I'll make a couple vids on it at least. That's just part of the job, man. My recommendation to you is to actually subscribe to my Space Marine playlist. Then you'll only get notifications for those uploads, super simple to do.
@@Wonko-bj4jx nearly every RUclipsr that isn't a single game influencer, regardless of what they cover, roll on whatever the algorithm is pushing, because that's where the views are and where the money is.
Glad your done. Pls go back to space marines 2.
after this review I'm convinced I'm never going to play this game ever And this coming from someone who played all the dragon age games
Questioning your judgement if you the Belara is adorable. Shes an insufferable cringefest.
Despite all the grown adults who spend more energy crying about a video game than getting a career job or being healthy im enjoying it
Best dragon age review hands down!
It’s mad you have to spend like 2 minutes or so to talk about a trans character. In the past people wouldn’t even have noticed this and now it is a decision when buying a game. Nuts. Anyway good review overall, the linear nature of the role playing puts me off
No after decades of forcing their agenda I will actively avoid their products now.
All the people whining about the trans stuff when like you said, it's totally avoidable or can be skipped through and yet people are totally hyper focused on it. Honestly if it makes some struggling groups of people feel seen then great and I'm happy for it to be in there. Will I skip through it myself? Probably, simply because it seems to have been handled in a pretty cringe and inorganic way. But it's not going to ruin the whole game for me! People need to get some chill 😅
Yeah but people are really tired of political correction and lectures about genders especially into a fantasy world with magic and dragons Plus the entire dialogue is really cringy and unnatural ,😐
🥃
maaan this game is so cringe. Please people... just don't buy the game.. wait for it to receive more negative reviews and no sales .... and let it fester and go on a fn sale. No one should buy this bs and give full price.. even the product tags have it as LGBTQ+ . BS . How do these projecting people even think to like the character with the amount of moaning it does.It's really sad this wasn't put to at least mixed reviewed or mostly negative. I'll wait more than a year if I have to.

Dont make excuses for games and be honest with your subs and most importantly with yourself.Games will not get better with either people shilling or just wanting to be nice.That doesnt help game evolution or human evolution by being nice and equitable but by meritocracy.
