I pre-ordered, canceled after I saw a few videos. I loved DA so much, I went and bought a month of EA playpro...what a waste. I played about 12 hours and just couldn't be bothered to load it up again...this game is just bad, looks great, but so boring. Very, VERY disappointed.
I’m one of the unlucky souls who paid full price on pre-order. (Can’t return. I played too long before I realized my mistake. 😅) At this point it’s entertaining just watching all the well deserved bad press and abysmal sales numbers. It’s also a bitter pill to swallow because I am a long time fan of the franchise and I know this means it will be a loooooooong time (if ever) before we get another Dragon Age game. And if the same people who worked on Veilguard do that one…. I don’t plan to buy it.
It’s a good lesson to learn to be honest. It’s happened to all of us. It happened to me when I bought mass effect andromeda. And if the game kept with dreadwolf and it still had the downright cringy writing it would have been a second lesson. All I know is that for the majority of us is that I don’t think many people will be buying their games before seeing people, real people and not a small percentage of them actually genuinely liking it
I’ve been watching the Steam sales list since game launch. It dropped to #204 at one point. They jacked it up to #90s w the free cc, then it faded again to around #130. Now they have it 35% off on Steam and it’s up to the #30s again but at a loss. I’ll take it only if it’s free somehow. They’re just using every sales trick they know to hoodwink anyone willing to shell out money for a ticket to see the unearned end of DA.
@joethealternativegamer3935 yeah afraid so and bioware is aware this spells doom for them so they're gonna hoodwink ppl into buying it and unleash it during patches after purchase.
If I were devs, I would most definitely retconne this game into just be a really bad dream that Varric or the inquisitor had. And then, make a whole new DA game that is the actual sequel to the Inquisition. Much better than this Veilguard nonsense... I have actually decided not to acknowledge The Veilguard as a part of the lore. It's less painful that way, heh! 😊
i got a physical copy at my local electronic chain store for almost half off last week - i was always gonna buy the game at a discount and was hoping it would be christmas....but i wasn't expecting this much off this quickly. definitely a welcome surprise....but yeah, the game isn't what any dragon age fan wanted. it's fine....but woo boy did it need further iteration and development on all the parts that matter.
My advice BioWare you better scrap veilguard and remake it like cyberpunk did, adding more cool things ( which you dump from dreadwolf of course.) and make character creation more attractive and more choice and consequence, or you can stop putting a DEI and woke bs in your game forever and fire that vile director Corinne Busche and those woke mtf that work in veilguard.
If they gave you an option to make taash remain normal. The game could've had its inclusion and had the "player choice matter", but that take actual talented writers.
The only thing that can save Dragon Age now is to remove Veilguard from the canon. Maybe Trespasser too, since that's where most of these lazy design problems started. Strike those dumb World of Thedas books too while you're at it. Then start over with a true conclusion of Inquisition followed by at least a lead-in for the true DA4.
I have DAO, DA2 and DAI ultimate editions on Steam. So Failguard is being advertised left, right and center for me (at currently 35% discount). Jokes on them, I ain't playing it even if they pay me to.

I guess identifying as a blockbuster wasn't enough for this game
@@mgiebus1869 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This needs to retconned into just be one of Varric's bad stories he told.
Great idea!
No, Varric doesn’t write a story this bad. It should be the copycat writer who tried to impersonate him 😂
@@KoKoaKate that'd be fine with me! Although I think Varric could have written Veilguard as a comedic tragedy haha..
Yeah this NEVER HAPPENED

I hope we come out with a positive lesson even for corpo execs. "No don't make games like that, it tanks sales"
Focus on your fan base!
@@joethealternativegamer3935 Not to mention make the game genuinely fun to play.

RIP Bioware. Mass Effect 4 or 5 if you include Andromeda confirmed to have pronoun selection, ugly characters and the message.
Oh boy really!?

@@La_Guinewere better to see it that way!
BioWare can either end their DEI development or they can end up file for bankruptcy.
Probably
Even not counting the money, is it really worth 30 hours of your lifetime?

Corinne Busche as we speak is posting pics on a dress with other game devs, he is not going anywhere people on top protect him

They may learn to do any other kind of commercial work in the west while I only give my hard earned cash to honest European and especially Slav devs.
BioWare can not recover from this. The game does have its moments in my opinion but…..lacks ALOT
I hope so!
