"you can't judge a game based off level 1 gameplay"
well since all they opted to show us was level 1 gameplay we absolutely can
Yeah literally the only reason you put out gameplay is so that players can judge it.
If a game company is too scared to show gameplay of their game that's a massive red flag. Because that's gonna be the game itself. If your gameplay sucks the whole game sucks. If they don't want to show gameplay that means even they think their game sucks.
the entire time was wondering when will we see abilities combo's chained together. you cant sell a game on level 1 gameplay alone.
Also that gameplay footage is supposed to entice you to buy the game and, usually, they show you the best non-spoilery segment. So there's a decent chance that what we saw is the best the game has to offer.
Exactly. What they expect? Buy the game, spend my money then I conclude: nah, it’s trash. Money is earned, I get mine through hard work.
Trailers are supposed to make you want to buy the game...
lol true, they should study diablo 4

"Then i guess you are not the target audience" 🙈
@@baronsengir187 who is the target audience though? I was more excited from the fable showcase because that game actually looks like what its suppose to be.
The gameplay is very... meh. Also I have no faith they'll do the story justice and not warp it with real life politics.
People saying don’t judge it at level 1 gameplay are the same people who said you can’t judge Starfield till after X hours.
Exactly. And once you play said amount of hours, they're going to say that you enjoyed the game just because you played that much. It's a lose/lose situation.
I had some bethesda chill telling me to play 40 hours before it gets good LMAO
I mean some games do not play that well at level one vs say level 5. Like diablo at level 1 is basically just swinging your basic weapon in your hand. After a couple levels you start getting skills. But that takes like what 15 to 20 minutes to get a few levels? Not like starfield where they are trying to claim you need 200 hours before it gets good which is ridiculous.
@@Eseerrowez Then you don't make a whole gameplay reveal about just the level one, that's common sense duh
@@zhongliimpact6220 sure thats kind of silly to do but it also doesn't makes sense to judge a game at level 1. Two things can be true at once
Dude, the LvL. 1 combat in Dragon age ONE was awesome, I member the way the fireball spell blew the enemies into the air if they failed a check. It was fun as bawls watching them blow the f up. I also member the part where you climb up a tower filled with darkspawn with Alister and kick a trolls ass at the end it was absolutely awesome. By the end of the intro you had lost 2 companions, your king got slain, your army got screwed, you got royally betrayed, saved by a dragon, seduced by a witch and walked out with the kings heir to find combat, adventure and fun. And that was the F-ING INTRO!

@@archersterling6726 sure
@@EclipseBullet I'm comparing this with Resident Evil. Imagine if this was a trailer for RE4, a completely different game focused on action with whacky characters. Most fans would be furious to say the least.
My point is, if the game came out good, would OG fans care?
Probably not, but as one of these people I would argue for good reason. They tried this with DA2 and it just does not work for a game that lives from soaking in the game. Depth in combat and dialog are what makes these games. Comparable to the BG franchise. Make a new game for this combat and artstyle then. You just did not want to put ressources for this in a risky new franchise to boot. And it does show.
Dragon Age was a game full with racism, sexism, some funny moments but most of all it was dark and gritty. It was a world with high stakes and there was a gloomy atmosphere. Now it's Solas trying to fuck everything up and all are chill and make the classic awkward quirky Disney joke. fuck that shit

Remember that this is the studio that brought us Andromeda and Anthem. There's no hope, and if you buy this game then you're either stupid or extremely easy to please
Damn right! Why ppl even bother about this company? And this is not even some new unique case. There are many more companies that are like that for years now. When starfield appeard on Twitch I didnt even knew what it is and that beth created it because I lost interest with that company so many years ago. Same with bio and ea after games you mentioned.
Lol, I didn't even remember anthem until it was mentioned, and Andromeda was a complete meme.
Andromeda has better exploration and graphics than starfeld

The writers didn't get let go until after they were finished. I know everyone here just wants to hate, but I know the story will be good.

You mean you and the rest of the world? To me it doesn't feel like an AI art or fortnite. Let's be fair to the team's effort behind this.I'd wait for the game and reviews to judge it before buying. But I wouldn't let my mind be motored on by an egghead, negative guzzling youtuber.
Also, to quote this egghead, "This's only gonna get worse..." Well that already didn't happen now did it. With the news coming in, like the open-world wouldn't be bloated, missions are characters and factions focused, and there's already praise for the character creation, etc...

What I noticed immediately is how garbage the enemy AI looks. When you attack one guy, his friends just stand there and wait

The gameplay video was on the easiest difficulty
@@stavroskoul8782 let me guess, higher difficulty has enemies with much more HP and DMG. I doubt the AI will actually be better.
@@overlordmae9090 Yeah if enemy mage AI will just teleport around and stasis itself like in DA2 without ever attacking, that will somehow be an improvement over this lol.
Let's not pretend that's not how many games are today, unfortunately. We peaked with FEAR and Stalker for enemy AI, and been downhill since then, with few exceptions. Go watch more of that AC: Shadows. You'll find the same dumb AI that stands still and has reaction speed of 10 seconds.

It's like they heard that Varric was a popular companion and then decided to make all the companions different shades of him.
Dragon age is supposed to be dark, grim and gritty. This new dragon age looks like it was made by Disney
They have been moving away from that look since Origins. DA2 was a huge departure and Inquisition was closer to Veilguard then that as well.
I'm with you in that I wish they would go back to the grim dark style but it's clear they havent wanted Dragon age to be like that for a while.
Tbh it seems like they are trying to widen the appeal to attract a younger audience and make the game look more family friendly to make more money.
@@TheParaxore dragon age has jokey elements but for the most part was a serious tone, the trailer made it look like another franchise. We know from the gameplay demo it probably isn't but whoever thought trying to make a fortnite or borderlands trailer for dragon age was a good idea should have their pay cut
@@kavinh10 yeah that's what i thought for this Dragon Age looks so cartoony as Borderlands. They basically HAD a winning formula of A + B = C now they decide to change one part of the formula to A + D = C then try to sell it to the audience and think people would like it lol. I never get these companies.
The second I saw them having a Marvel style casual conversation mid combat I knew the game would be shit
@@TheParaxore- I agree with your comment! Unfortunately every time a game developer tries to go after younger players or more casual players they always end up losing the original fans and players and killing the franchise.
This gives me the same vibe as when I watched the trailer for Battlefield 5 and tried to convince myself that disabled women with artificial limbs and katana carrying British paratroopers were a real thing in the fight against WW2 era Germans…?
I knew the game was gonna suck but I still tried to kid myself along until I tried the demo and my heart sank!🥶
The usual case of a steakhouse dropping the steak in favor of vegan food while still keeping their steakhouse's name wondering why their clients aren't showing up.

This game looks more like it was made by BioWare’s Human Resources Department than BioWare itself
Many of the actual developers already left, so that might be the case
EA put the worst talent from other failed ea games to work on this, the goal is probably to shut down the studio
all of the companies are just the human resources departments, thats why everything is shit now
@@leax7061yeah they wanted to close it down anyway. They knew anthem was terrible. The put all their DEI points into it and flipped the switch. So they’ll get all their profits for inclusion with out any of the loses. Gotta say it’s probably a good financial move for EA
YongYea can't get too critical if he wants to keep those awards show invites and voice acting roles coming.
This is what I was thinking the entire time.
Yep, he's literally on a knife edge. Too much criticism equals less job offers.
So we’re clear, he’s a shill then.
His two worlds have collided. I bet he feels trapped
How can you verify this?
The shift in tonality is staggering. The trailer looks more like a parody game that's supposed to mock dark fantasy genre, but not the continuation of a beloved series.
Its basically Dragon Age Inquisition: Purple Edition.
Inquisition was fun tho minus a couple things here and there
Looks like a trailer for a wanky mobile phone game.
raid shadow legends
I read that as Wonka lol
It does, I am guessing they wanna add the micro transactions like a mobile game.
Old fan are not the target audience if a mobile style game with micro transaction make more money.
Overwatch all over the place.
Companies seem to still think brand loyalty is a big thing. It’s like a dealer who just has two junkies hitting him up for laced trash.
But it is a big thing, its a huge thing that can carry your company through a crisis or take the company down. The problem is that they have no braincells to understand how that works. Destroying the product that made the current customers loyal to the brand just to attract new customers, that's the end of the loyalty to your brand, brand loyalty is not a super power, is goes away if you mishandled it. I mean, look at that beer in the US, completely killed decades of brand loyalty to attract a public that doesn't even care for beers.
BioWare ain’t Apple.
Brand loyalty is huge. Heck they could have spoon fed us the same game from 10 years ago just updated and everyone would have been excited.
This, this is how you kill brand loyalty. You shoot all the loyal people in the foot and tell them they aren't your target customer anymore.
It would be if it hadn't been a decade
Something looks like shit, smells like shit, i dont need to taste it to confirm. But we are in 2024 where the majority thinks you have to gobble it up and lick the plate clean before judging. What a joke.
Also, does anyone who played origins remember the Grey Warden ritual? You think they'd let anyone "commit die" for their beliefs this time around?
I don't think we'll get an emotional scene like the battle of ostagar, leandras last words, Fenris sparing his sister or anything like that without a companion spurting some marvel humour line right after.
Imagine watching Duncan look at the body of the king and know that loghain retreated, then alistair just blurts out some "well gee this is bad" quip
Why in the actual f*ck does dragon age looks like the rings of power
Bioware is one of the wokest companies which, funny enough, in the most right-wing provinces in Canada that branched out to Quebec and texas. Everyone who used to work there has left that worked on ME1,2,3, DA:O,2,I.
yep, exactly. And this is the reason why i wont play it, same why i havent watched rings of power. I have self-respect and im not self-destructive.
@@Tsaniko fyi DA:O was also pretty ''woke'' so this is just you being homophobic?
after first DA the rest was mediocre at the best tbh, and i don't think this one is woke . . . just badly made
It doesn't.
Built by committee decision, not, built by creative vision.
This. You can smell that stench a mile away.
One of my problems with the look is how they redesign enemies from the Veil, pride demon up to this point was similiar shape, but before they looked like actual monsters. In comparison, new floating armor pride demon look like something made out of original monster, and making it a golem.
1."what happened to Bioware?"
-EA happened.
2.Dragon Age went from an epic "only you can kill the Archdemon and stop the Darkspawn" to a generic arpg that took multiple ideas from other games and make none of them work.
I don't think the blame can fully rest on the shoulders of EA. They published Dragon Age: Origins. Had EA not came in, there would be no Dragon Age at all and Bioware would've gone bankrupt, like they're about to experience if this game is the flashy pile of trash I suspect it will be.
Trailer looks like they were trying to make a game that appeals to my sister, who doesn't play games.
I will literally never be over the black mage chick going "There is the ritual" and pointing while all of the characters are more fascinated by the trees around them and DON'T EVEN FUCKING LOOK
The characters aren't even interested in the plot
Why the fuck should we be
Dragon age 1-2 was a very serious, mostly depressing and dark game franchise. It was about overcoming personal issues and the struggles of the world they were in. It was gritty. Inquisition was more of a hybrid, it was still dark but tried to stay grounded in the fantasy.
The thing about this is the music is unfitting, the back and fourth VO feels way too jokey like a fantasy Saturday morning cartoon, the setting has progressively become more and more like magic punk over time and less like the more Tolkien esk setting it was before. It just don’t feel like the dragon age I knew anymore.
If you thought Dragon Age 2 was actually a dragon age game your part of the problem
@@user-bz5io6ph8w first dragon age is also over glazed when its mid at best.
@@user-bz5io6ph8w First of all, i was specifically talking about the tone of the NEW trailer, and comparing it to the "TONE" of the first two dragon age games. If you need to look up what tone means google it, i didn't say the games were good or bad.
Secondly, how does my opinion have anything to do with anything, the problem is the executives and developers chasing trends at the sacrifice of the games identity.
Reminds me of a 2000's heist movie where they're trying to introduce the team...
Making the Pride Demon looking like a glow in the dark seaweed is an abomination. And all the colors around the scene made me feel like the combat is taking place underwater.
Shiny effects and particle density to attract younger audience in attempt to create solid fanbase for future products, classic corporate mistake whete they attempt to inject fresh audience but alienate existing one, WoW has been doing this since 2011, i guess devs never learn...
It looks like a neon Harry Potter Dementor.
Pride Demon was one of the hardest enemies in past Dragon Ages. And on top of that, Pride Demon was first boss you had to fight in Inquisition.
And yet, somehow, in Veilguard they defeat a Prime Demon with ease. Wtf??
It's so ironic that they turned Dragon Age from a top down RPG into this goofy action game to try to appeal to a larger audience and it's releasing around when Baldur's Gate 3, a turn-based classic RPG, had a massively successful release.
That’s not really what they wanted with DOA. They wanted FF12.
Yet another game ruined in favor of consoles and diversity. RIP in peace.
Keep in mind Bioware made the older Baldurs Gate games
@@DoomGuy148.Dragon Age was ruined over a decade ago when DA2 deviated from the formula of top down RPG. And this current game seems no more diverse than Dragon Age Inquisition.
Deserved tbh. Imagine taking a dark fantasy RPG & turning it into an action oriented MARVEL adventure. When your entire studio was built off of turn based games... Like, Baldurs gate’s success is just Karma in its purest form for BioWare rn. They’re definitely sulking in the rain watching what could’ve been them if they just gave the fans what they asked for. There’s no excuse to not deliver on that after 10 years of waiting.
95% of the people making music choises for today's trailers should be fired instantly.
"safe game for mass appeal" is exactly right and what separates this aesthetically and why our sense of this game is so much different than a game like BG3 or eldenring.
this game feels like its going to have a lot of goofy kingdom hearts style writing and voice acting in a setting where things should be more serious/grim.
its this generation of writers who grew up writing fan-fic material for kingdom hearts/naruto crossovers in middle school and now that seeps into everything else they do.
Dragon Age: Raid Shadow Legends for the modern audience
After Baldur's Gate 3, safe is not a word that we want in our RPGs
And baldurs gate was “woke” but no one bitched because it was written well.
@@brandon8667 Yes it did have woke crap in it but the differance is it was written well and not rammed in your face every 10 seconds.
Marvel style trailer.
Borderland character intros.
WoW stylized weapons like goofy spiral bows.
Lack of character limitation just like Marvel. You got a Qunari jumping 2 stories into the air at a dragon's head.
But the things missing that makes it Dragon Age.
Persistant blood.
Feeling of overwhelming odds.
The feel of being a regular human fighting in a sea of monsters.
The Bloody Dragon logo tag.
that pause menu is so brutally disgusting...
“If it looks like shit, it’s probably going to be shit.” That’s been my go-to for most game reveals, and it hasn’t failed me yet.
And being pleasantly surprised that it turns out not to be shit is always better than being disappointed and getting your hopes mercilessly crushed.
It literally looks worse than Inquisition which is a 6/10 game.
That trailers makes inquisition look good and thats saying something
I’m not buying it. I’ve been a fan of the series since DAO. If BioWare gets mass fired in the process so be it. They don’t deserve to make the next mass effect as far as I’m concerned.

BioWare - Gone
This game feels like something AI would turn out. It lacks the magic of the human imagination.
So funny how Bioware made Dragon age 2 and Inquisition more action-based and flashy because they wanted to appeal to a wider audience and earn more money. And yet Baldur's gate 3 sold more copies than DA2 and Inquisition combined.
One of the understated reasons is that you can do whatever you want in that game. You can handle problems whatever way you want in that game, there are only a few "but thou must" moments in that game.
It's a lot of fun to be able to be creative and do it the way you want to do it, regardless of whether you like the combat system or not.
Plus, genuine evil choices to make. It's the player's choice.
DA1 is the only dragon age I liked to play.
DA2 was the last game I ever pre-ordered.
Biowares biggest problem was always trying to appeal to a broader market
My condolences
The real problem with Veilguard is, if you aren't direly invested in the story, there is literally nothing to bring you into the game.
There's no innovation of any kind here - not in the storytelling, not in the graphics, not in the combat, not in the dialogue....
Nothing new here, I've played this game already a half dozen times a decade ago.
And this also can be rephrased into "even if you are invested into the story" you probably won't play it or if you dare to, it gonna end up in misery and buckets of puke🤮🤮🤮 Since for a fan to see what they did to Dragon Age is just devastating...
Really, companies shouldn’t be able to keep their name if more than 50% of the product creators leave.
that's pretty stupid.
@trk1b28varianrhesa4
I mean I think it's a good idea. If the essence of the company isn't the same why should they get to use the brand loyalty?
@@disgaealikerasapOG people come and go in Developer workspace. Most developers only work for 5-10 years for one company, than jump to another
the tone is that : the characters think that they are in a comedy. it feels like a d&d group where the players are just casually talking to eachother.
Yes, but executed badly. It's like written by somebody who had banter explained to them, while themselves never participated in banter and ribbing each other.
Almost like those new Saints Row hipsters that are paying off their student loans, that game literally shut down Volition.
Dragon age has always been like that
@@TheMrToxinhipsters? nah, just your typical zoomers
@@lingricen8077 i disagree. the tone of DA:O , DA:2 and even DA:I was much more serious though your character always had the option to make silly decisions or react with humor to a somewhat serious situation. their interactions wouldnt take over the game's overal narration.
It's funny how someone pointed out that "it looks like a show a friend would tell you wait till you get to the better part" only to be followed up by "we shouldn't judge a game on level 1 combat."
The art is not consistent. The Dwarf and the Ranger, for example, one looks cartoony and the other way too realistic. And that neon color palette fits better in a cyberpunk setting than in a fantasy setting.
Inquisition was a masterpiece in my eyes, I played it in high school and fell in love with it. THIS is NOT dragon age
It's a checkbox trailer. It's all that is wrong about modernity.
Which checkboxes?
What. Bioware has been trash for almost a decade and it's entirely gameplay and monetization related.
Can you expand on this? I saw nothing wrong with what was shown personally. So I'm curious what all your complaints are out of sheer curiosity.
“We can be heroes, for just one day!” Get the fuck out of here, BioWare, cringe overload 😬
@@luxnoria Sure, I'll do my best. We see game after game both remakes of old games and sequels of old games getting getting the "modernity" treatment. What modernity means for entertainment is the concept of how remakes and sequels of older games are made to fit a sensitive "wider audience" and has to be a certain way, to reflect the society of today. I'll get to why I think it's bad for any game.
This game trailer evoke feelings of a slapstick comedy adventure with a hip, upbeat mood, much like Borderlands. And while Borderlands was good, it's humor have become pretty unbearably cringe In Tiny Tina's wonderland and honestly before that too.
So what's the problem with that? Well the game is set in a universe where the world is fighting tooth and nail in a hopeless unwinnable war for survival. Injecting unwitty millennial humor, and potentially modern politics in a high fantasy brutal universe misses the point and would change the game fundamentally.
I think that's about as much I can do for a youtube comment, but the gameplay looked pretty average so I don't think I'll be missing out anyway. Regardless of changes to the setting :)
So much purple, the game had to be renamed to Dragon Age: Synthwave tbh
Yeah a rogue class wearing purple nonsense clothes wtf..
Corporations are forcing the pink blue and purple color themes into everything. Just don't ask them why.
Nowadays, everything is shit. Were it mere "established franchise + garbage", I can somehow even accept it. But everything, and I literally mean EVERYTHING - games, TV, films, media in general - now is "established franchise in name only +++ GARBAGE = Grabage as a whole"...
The trailer felt more like a second trailer than an initial one because the 1st one is suppose to hook you then the 2nd one gives like more info on the game
Thats not dragon age
It's Border Age: Guardians of Fortnite
This was rainbow Overwatch age... the fantasy edition.
Free Fire Age
Dragon Age has NOTHING to do with a Dragon Age game.
Many people would struggle to recognise it is a dragon age game if the titles didn't come up
Dude got the behind doors treatment and turned into access media.

“Cartoonish” that’s the word I’d use to describe it and that’s not what DA used to be.
"And then, we named one of the main cast TRASH! LMAO"
People need to start letting corporations know that bad sequels will not be accepted as cannon by the fans.
Yeah right. There's no garbage so worthless that gamers won't rush to buy it. Tge fact that Blizzard and Bioware even exist is testimate to that.

fans will suck it up, Harry potter had a sequel book that wasn't even written by the original author that borderline rewrote the character's personalities. that franchise has some of the most passionate fans ever and even then the author went nah its canon.

@@kavinh10Not fans. Sheep
That chatter was dumb, "You cant judge a game off of level 1 combat." If you use level 1 combat as a major gameplay reveal... you made your bed.
I do agree they should have showed Mid-Game builds and fighting but I guess they wanted to keep it a surprise for the players
Level 1 is the basics of combat. If the basics look bad, why would or rather, why should you want to see the advanced stuff?
The enemies look brain dead. The QA person has to stand still in order to get hit from the basic mobs.
"But it's the first area". Go play a fresh file on Transformers Devastation. Set it to Hard Mode. The basic enemies AND the boss in the first 5mins are not push overs like this.
you get 3 action buttons to press, one of them at level 1. An auto attack meter to build up before you can use an action, its just bad design regardless of level
@@Sleeman0980 Yeah, it looks like your typical spam attack game where you occasionally use your other "cool" moves.
@@TheEffectOfMass its a simple way to disguise the fact youre just autoattacking 40 times and they try to call it a 'combo.' Its so overplayed its just boring
The Starfield vibe is dead on the description of where Dragon Age is at right now.
I honestly don't want any of these people as a party member.
I played origins & the quality difference even in the trailers are a night & day difference.
"dragon age 2" was utter garbage that was such a downgrade from origins in all aspects it was shocking, it didn't help that it really wanted to be a fantasy mass effect. It was also the game that ruined the darkspawn.
Dragon age inquisition was better than 2 but that was such a low bar but it was no where near the quality of DAO outside of graphics but that was only due to it being newer.
just give me a faithful remake of origins
I'm a huge Dragon Age fan. After ten years of waiting, I'm devastated to see wtf they did to this IP. Asmongold smoking them is pretty much how I find comfort, considering Reddit, Twitter and RUclips all remove negative comments and pretend that the Veilguard garbage is the best thing that ever happened in gaming...
I just like the lore, but as a hack and Slash fan I'll probably like the combat. But man, origins and 2 had 24 party abilities, inquisition had 32. Veilguard has 9?? And can't control companions?? Feels bad man, feels real bad
everytime a franchise gets co-opted and ruined I remind myself at least the old movies/books/games will still be there (until they get edited like raold Dahl books)
Just buy it with a DLC bundle discounted in a few years. That's pretty much what I do for all AAA games now.
I've seen plenty of negative comments and positive feedback from fans for the game on all the platforms you've listed. There's genuine criticisms I agree with. But there's also a massive influence of weirdos storming the game yelling about things that make zero sense and checking their profiles they haven't even interacted with Dragon Age until the day of the trailer.
@@bingbongwingwong
The devs of this trash don't deserve a single penny. Buying this EVER for ANY PRICE over $0 is basically like scamming yourself.
What made bioware great wasnt the company. It was the people working for those companies and they replaced their talent long ago.. bioware is a shell of its former self.
ESG and DEI
If I were to compare DA:V vs DA:I with respect to the combat. All we were shown was an adaptive auto attack sequence, a new bow gimmick that's oddly placed that we never had before (in the older games you specialized into whichever weapon type you wanted), a lightning blade skill with a charge system that for some reason the player kept entering a "free frame" aiming ui system that's never been necessary before and as a result it's heavily jarring.
I see that Mr. YongYea is still sitting on that rainbow colored fence...
23:15 - Bro I don't want to play fucking Mass Effect while playing Dragon Age. I want to play fucking Dragon Age ffs
This looks significantly worse than Mass Effect. 😅
the best bioware games are from like 15-25 years ago, the people who made all these legendary titles just aren't there anymore and it shows.
Antiseptic is the word. That very much describes both trailers. It's all so sanitary and would probably pass any government inspection.
Am I tripping or does the necro give off "If RDJ was cast as Dr. Strange" vibes?
Yongyea is fighting so hard not to say anything bad.
He’s kinda soft
He's probably a voice actor in the game
Hes another sell out. I dont think hes ever said the truth on anything if it negatively impacts his bottom line
They turned dark elf into Black elf.
It's not the first time it happens^^ but now it's pushed...
Ok I thought the trailer looked cringe but do we have to be racist? Why can’t the elf be black?
Have you never played Dragon Age before? The player character appearance is customizeable. That means basically ANY look for the player is considered canon as it is not restricted by lore.
Dragon age 1 all of the races looked the same if slightly different dragon age 2-3 just made it more and more generic
@@dwayne2080Dark elves are a common fantasy race of beings who have darker skin and (usually) solid white hair that looks just like that of a normal elf. Their skin would be some mixed combination of blue, purple, and black tones. This is because they usually live deep under ground and they worship an evil goddess. That goes for most versions. Wow and FF are the exceptions. Most others are based on D&D or fairy tales based in Northern Europe. Just like there are black/gray skinned dwarves common to Eastern European stories.
Dark elves are not the same as giving an elf dreads or braids and just making them look African with pointy ears. It isn’t racism to be tired of this bullshit and gas lighting.
What's interesting about all this is that the fans are the Templars, and the developers are the Mages and we've entered the Mage Rebellion era, while games like veilguard, kill the justice league, starfield are the abominations caused by the mages misuse of their magic.
Why did the change the demons look? Even in Inquisition they were the same as in Origins
Someone should show Asmon
The Battle of Ostagar. That cutscene truly showed how good the stakes were
☑ Look up the director for the game.
☑ Look up what the director said about the Dragon Age series.
Completely forget this game, its already dead.
I don't care enough to look, can u just tell me
@jimjohnson6944 They're someone who freely calls themselves a turbo queer gendermancer or something actually like that, and apparently Dragon Age has always been super duper gay right there in its core and this is very overtly gonna be the queerest game ever made.
I'm not even being funny here.
@@jimjohnson6944 Game director Corinne Busche:
"Queerosexual Gendermancer

Trans rights are human rights "
@@TheAcad3micThink what they mean is what they meant with Yasuke in shadows
People said Yasuke is gay. Nope that's not the case. You can roleplay him as gay like you can in the other RPG games except origins.
I'm assuming she means that if you roleplay as gay you'll have more options for gay romances than other games along with straight options.
@@TheAcad3mic Dragon Age had gay romance since Origins though... If there ever was a "tubro queer" game then it's probably Dragon Age. Mind you, the difference is that Origins looked like an interesting game back in its time, Veilguard looks like shit so far
Hell even in Inquisition there was a full tactical pause where you could move the cursor around, select team members, and move them to specific locations, and select abilities. This is terrible.
The gameplay demo looked ass. It looked simplistic as a mobile game, designed to be played by being able to only press 2 buttons at a time. It looked so boring, so generic, so uninspired. It lacked basically everything, it had no grit, no weight, no oomfph. It felt sterile and censored. And the UI was horrible oversaturated barf that doesn't even fit the artstyle.
It wasn't a Dragon Age trailer. It was Fortnite.
Its DEI infected, so this is an automatic no buy.
I completely agree and it is sad.
These past 10 years or so, every shows, movies or games have been infected by DEI. They put so much emphasis on DEI that story, characters and even logic takes a step back, or more than just a step, many steps back.
Quentin Tarantino said it best about the DEI era we live in now : "Ideology trumps art, ideology trumps individual effort, ideology trumps good, ideology trumps entertainment".
It's a new religion for the incompetents.
Yep. Same here.
@@ge-8135it’s not a new religion, it’s social warfare via social engineering.
@@ge-8135This is exactly it.
you missed the worst part where the director and producer go all ''dragon age is for queerosexual gendermancers''
Right. And nobody has the balls to bring it up. Bunch of cowards
What powers does a gendermancer have
@@dwalinfundinson UNFATHOMABLE powers, my friend! ... though mostly it seems to be able to spike J K Rowlings blood pressure and cause her to rage post on Twitter. Wait - don't tell me they've been here all along?!
@@dwalinfundinson they summon new letters to the alphabet community.
I would have been more shocked if BioWare didn’t say that
24:58 It looks like the devs added the lighting effect to the grass, when they should have added it to the ground, instead. Because of that, the lighting effects gets way too bright and distracting than it would have if they gave the ground the lighting effect.
Imagine going to bat for bioware. Like they're your friend and you're defending them lol. Couldnt believe that nonsense at the end, what a joker.
this is like the saints row reboot all over again
The game looks terrible. They would have been better off simply making an updated re-release of Origins and calling it a day. The original Bioware devs left Bioware after ME3. It has been downhill ever sense.
Give it a year and I have no doubt the will re-release Origins.
@@Crazieyboy15 Sadly they won't. Unlike the Mass Effect trilogy, which pretty much just needed graphical updates, porting/remastering Origins would require them to actually do dev work. They've let it be known many times that they'd pretty much have to remake it from the ground up, and tbh even if EA would give them the money, (They won't.) I don't trust them not to fuck it up.
*during
and it shows, ME3 (and Arrival) was written by a hack
@@Crazieyboy15 I don't want their filthy fingers to touch this gem that was Origins. They re just not worth it
The way the combat looks makes me think about Tales of Symphonia. Not 1 to 1 obviously, but it reminds me of it. I think pivoting away from the previous iterations is not the best move though. Time will tell of course.
17:52 A very different Genre, but remember when Halo 4 was basically CoD style Halo? Yeah. You know what happened to Halo when it lost its identity right?
The essence of DAO is never coming back
Sad. So sad, but true
So sad
A quasi unplayable game with a decent story?
They began to butcher Dragon Age with DA2, then with Inquisition they completely butchered strategy aspect to make the game play better on consoles while also making series even more "progressive". Veilguard looks like another consoletrash game with disney levels of cringe.
@@DoomGuy148. the edge is real. DOA is certified now as the most overrated game in history.
Dot Hack had a pause menu for ordering allies but it was a bit annoying
If violence was female is the vibe I’m getting from Veilguard. Sort of like the Force being female in Star Wars these days.
Also, take note of the character designs - all average, “normal” looking people instead of the heroic exceptionalism aesthetic to aspire to like in other fantasy games.
Imagine if from software announces Elden Ring 2, Bloodborn 2 or even Dark Souls 4 and the trailer was the characters acting like they were in Borderlands 3 or some shit like that, with the characters and gameplay looking like they were designed for a mobile game. Its like devs now don't want to take their story seriously because they can't make something good so they appeal for the "Eh whatever is just for fun nothing matters" thank God we still have companies like from software that really care about the story and lore of their games, I hope they stay like this forever.
Judging a game on level one combat might be bad, but what's worse is making all your advertisement with level one combat.
So fucking truee! Amen!
I know, right? Show us some cool abilities! Seeing that one ability fired off the whole time was really annoying and boring.🥱
No one asked for the stereotypical, yellow is block/parry/dodge, red is have to dodge gameplay. It doesn’t even have a tactical camera. They could show max level with all the best abilities and it’d still the same.
Or that at level one, you're already moving and attacking like a master blade dancer sorcerer 😅
Well the thing is that, if the level one combat sucks... what makes anyone think the player is gonna stick around long enough to see the level 2 combat? I mean... I get starting off weak and advancing as the game progresses, but don't make it feel like work. I'm here to have fun - not work.
