Every mainstream shill reviewer on youtube has sidestepped the politics because they are afraid to criticize the status quo or because they agree with said politics. When it comes down to it the politics are more important then the gameplay when discussing a propaganda piece.
Agreed. Get rid of all the modern day political agenda messages and elements, and this game still sucks. On every level it fails to deliver. I will praise the character creator for faces only, body doesn't have enough variety, and hair physics are amazing. I like the skill tree, but not the combat. That's what I liked.
Wait, there's roleplaying in this game? All I've seen from streams is yapping sessions with poorly written dialogue and the following options: A) Agree. B) Agree (sarcastic) C) Agree (edgy)
At least in Fallout we could nuke our son and his life's work if we wanted to. In Veilguard we can't even say anything non-affirming about nonbinaryness.
You aren’t exaggerating, the game is horrible. The dialogue was written by a drunk on a Friday night. This is not a RPG, I don’t know how to call it but for sure it is not a RPG. Good review you did.
Steam has revamped it reviews policy and it was recently too. I think this has an impact on that. No one buying a badly review game so Steam need to help that. Every bought game are plus for Steam so there's that.
If someone put a review then refund the game on Steam, that Steam review doesn't count at overall rating. They made this change a while ago to combat with review bombing. It seems working :D
Yeah same man i like dragon age 2,not gonna put it at the same tier as dao,but to me its a good game on its own,specially since it had 16 months or so development time,and origins was i think 5 or 6 years,so i cant really hate devs for reusing a lot of same environment,which was one of the complaints for the game,they needed more time.
"Wasn't polished" is an understatement. EA gave them a year to do da2 it and they've pulled a miracle creating something as engaging as that (everyone's praising Larian studios but their re-cycling of da2 companions for both dos2 and bg3 is so plain transparent. That's how good da2's writing is.) Voice direction was outstanding, they've never pulled out a Varric like that ever since. Still - compared to origins, da2 is a scam, that's how I felt. I returned to it a decade after it's release and it grew on me. DAI feels like (and probably is) a repurposed mmo, yet Tresspaser alone somehow made the whole experience worth it. What we see now is a mobile clicker game with sprites for followers and paid costumes repurposed for pc. It cannot be fixed in any way, only redone from the ground up. And nothing about it can be justified for due to it's nature it was created as a scam pretending to be not just any RPG game, but a Dragon Age game.
You mean you dont want your video games to teach you how to talk to your friends like a therapist, express only positive emotions at all times, or learn how to apologize for misgendering someone in a dark fantasy RPG about stopping a world ending threat? Shocking, I say.
kingdoms of amalur makes this game look bad and that was considered on of eas worst rpg games and had tons of bioware/ea crossover special gear and crap as dlc to promote it
Fair enough. If a game doesn't hook you in a generous 10 hours, you have no obligation to keep playing it and giving it more chances. Gone are the days where we have limited options for entertainment and a lot of time. Our time is worth more than slogging through something we don't enjoy, succumbing to the sunk-cost fallacy.
I think that’s fair. You shouldn’t have to play a game for 20 or 30 hours for it to “get better”, or to get to a point where it’s fun. All the nonsense aside, Veilguard looked extremely mediocre to me from the beginning. I had almost no expectations, and it sounds like it won’t even meet those. I’ve loved the dragon age games(even Inquisition), but this is a hard pass for many more reasons than woke content. It just doesn’t look good.
Not even close to the first time IGN has given horrible games ridiculous scores because they're made by a large publisher. That behavior dates all the way back to 20+ years ago.
I had the same thought. The opening of Metaphore is like 4 hours before the game really starts. mostly prologue up to that point. And even that prologue is already more interesting than this game probably ever will be. If all the other reviews are to be believed. You can't say anything bad either. Where are the days you can be an ass to your party. Where are the consequences of the earlier DA games?
Because they live in a bubble and in their mind people who critique any aspect of this slopfest are attacking the "inclusivity" present in it and trans people. They can't understand that the game just sucks as they couldn't see a good game if it kicked them in the balls. Meanwhile they call people criticizing it "tourists"
@@accretionist1 to be fair, you are right, but a fail is still a fail, a lot of the popularity for Dragon Age has been old fans coping and hoping it was going to be better than Inquisition or origins, it just simply is not.
@@maky9312 one can only hope, but then theyll just blame EA and not the real reason why the game hasn't performed well, they keep spouting how it is selling so good but forget EA has a history of inflating itself... take a look at their biggest IP Battlefield.

Something crossed my mind: Games media will blame the fact Veilguard was pirated on day 1 as a reason for low sales. Denuvo will use Veilguard as an example of why devs should use them.
@@aethelfrythhawkins4419 yea, i agree with that. They used to be my favorite, along with Bethesda. Nowadays, Obsidian and Larian are on top, especially when it comes to writing, choice, and consequence.
I'll never understand how these projects, movies and video games, that involve hundreds of people yet they so casually hire the most incompetent people in key positions: project leader and writers.
its not like they didnt know either. the main producer of dragon age the veilguard identifies as "queerosexual gendermancer". it sounds like im making it up, but trust me im not. go look it up.
It's blatantly obvious that big studios are hiring based on ideals, and not merit. They use competent devs to make the game work and function and then fill in leadership positions with people they "Agree" with. Bioware has none of the original people left, its a masquerade.
A big problem here is the long development time. Popular genres change. This game started 9+ years ago as a multiplayer action RPG, hence the emphasis on linear maps, fast and flashy combat, and weak storyline. When they realised (4 years ago) that players were turning against games in this genre, Bioware or EA switched towards single player with unkillable companions and presumably added more RPG elements and maybe padded out the story and voice acting. Maybe this is when they added the puzzles, to give the single player something extra to do, but they were now limited by their earlier choices of map design. This is not a game that spent its entire development cycle as a single player, story-based, role playing game. It was forced to do a drastic change after most of the design and game engine choices were already made and we can see the results clearly.
In case you're wondering, the facts I've heard of are the 9 and 4 years and the switch from multiplayer to single player. The rest is conjecture on my part but it feels reasonable. The decision to change 4 years ago is widely believed to be due to the failure of the Marvel Avengers game which was released in 2020 and rapidly collapsed.
If Sucker Punch and the Ghost of Yotei sequel mention the words "non-binary, gay or trans" in their promotional material or the game itself, i am closing my wallet indefinitely to them as a studio.
i hate how ppl a like . this rpg game writing sucks ,dialog sucks , combat not interesting. but heyy game looks good and voice acting is good so this is good game . WTF . did i transport in alternative universe or what
I hate voices in this mostly too. Californian vibe. And I am not even englsh native. Do some westerners still have any taste in anything? Woke pressure gotta be hard
As it seemed from the previews, the people who loved Origins (ie. the people who like cRPGs, tactical combat, character building, dark, mature themes, player choices that matter...) will probably hate this one. They dumbed down the already dumbed down stuff from DA2 and Inquisition. They even dumbed down the role-playing elements, the dialogues are atrocious and unbearable...
@@gameburn178 Made the same point. BG3, Pathfinder 1 and 2, even the smaller ones - Pillers of Eternity, Wasteland 2 and 3. All of them clearly far superior to this dross. Honestly, they could have made it an isometric rpg, had mostly text based dialog - saved a bunch of money on VA and character animation, and gone back to their roots in DA Origins. It would have been a vastly better game for it.
@threewiseman1 Another idea worth persuing, you are right. They gave up on the tactical rpg combat from the first and to some extent, the second games. And went pretty full action game. Might have worked, having it be simpler is not necessarily worse. Elden Ring is simple, sort of, but the timing matters and skill in general, so we celebrate it.
I'm honestly baffled how a reviewer like mortismal with an established experience with rpg systems can give this such positive feedback. The only way i can fathom the thought is imagining EA contacting the guy and offering him a buttload of money and telling him to shut up!
The Dragon Age sub-reddit loves mentioning his review to shill for this garbage, like his opinion is absolute. That is the same guy who shilled for Starfield, Unknown 9 and BG 3 Act III, he has ZERO credibility and is a total clown.
And he is the ONLY reviewer worldwide who 100% completes the games. He actually plays them ,instead of b'tching about them like you on the comments ;-)
@@GhOsThPk Agreed. Had some respect for the guy before since i had full empathy for his life story but yeah, the ones you mention plus the constant shill attitude towards what's perceived to be controversial. Hard not to believe he's desperate to be a part of the access media.
More like threatening to stop sending him review copies and inviting him to exclusive events if he doesn't toe the line and lie about their big DEI release.
@@marionunes86 Like the guy above your latest comment, he truly believes that Mortisclown 100% any game merely because he says that he does. News flash, he doesn't 100% anything, it was proven with his Starfield videos, he didn't mention nor knew things that you could only know if you had played new game+ which is required to 100% the game, but he still is a clown and went saying that he did and even more clowns are the people like the guy above who believes it.
The biggest drawback emerges with playtime in that you cannot ROLE PLAY in a role playing game. Your protagonist is very on rails in terms of what motivations you want for them or actions you choose for them. You will be subjected to a few variations of the same piss poor dialogue no matter what you do. All in a world that doesn't feel real with companions that don't feel real or even interesting. There's zero immersion, the death sentence of any RPG.
I don't get why they didn't carry over The Inquisitor as the main character. That's disappointing. Especially Solas not being the primary antagonist. The combat is really.... claustrophobic too. WAY too many effects on screen.
Every dragon age is a new main character. This Rook is the most pointless of all of them though as they have nothing important about them to justify being the leader.
I never thought I'd say this, but veilguard makes Andromeda look like game of the year. The combat was better by far, more engaging and had more variety. The combination system was better done. The allies actually killed things and could draw aggro and die. The companions looked better, Cora was still a bombshell. Story was better paced and flowed more consistently. Veilguard is going to be the Disney star wars to the OT.
The DA: Origins banter between companions, you know, just as you are walking around and they chatter in the background ... that is better than the actual story written into Veilguard. Alistair and Morrigan say some hilarious stuff sniping each other.
I was playing earlier and he and Leliana started badmouthing Morrigan and questioning my char's sanity for romancing her while we were both in the party. Made me laugh.
ITS TIME WE STAND UP AS A COMMUNITY! 👊 Someone needs to get a good lawyer to look into these practices, the journalist lying is false advertisement, the positive review botting is misleading, there has to be a few laws that were broken here. Someone should file a class action lawsuit.

If we dont do something about it, then who will? We need to do a GoFundMe or something to have a lawyer look into this. LETS TAKE ACTION, NO MORE TALKING! Like this comment if you agree!
Veilguard did us all a favor. If you ever listened to some reviewer before buying a game and those guys praised veilguard and gave it a very good review, you should never ever trust them again.
Remember when Dragon Age was a sort of realistic fantast setting? You know, there were dragons & magic and the like but things still felt realistic to an extent. Failguard here looks like an actual anime game, it doesn't even look like it belongs in the same franchise. What a sad state for my actual favorite fantasy setting of all time. As far as I'm concerned, this is non-canon. Hell, it breaks canon enough to be considered as such anyway.
11:20 That was a puzzle? Done with BioWare for Eternity. Maybe Larian should pick up the Dragon Age and Mass Effect IP as well, they seem to know how to tell a story.
as soon as you said, listen to this melodramatic russian sounding... i laughed out loud liked and subbed immediately i look forward to seeing more of your vids
I like how many of the negative reviews are "The Representation issues are the least of the games worries". Exactly how I feel. From all the reviews, both positive and negative ones, I viewed, they all seem to mention the same things that are bad about it and how it's not really a RPG just a game with basic RPG elements. As a oldschool Dragon Age fan I just hate how with each new DA game they spit on Origins and step further away from it. Bring back the mechanics from DA:O, BG3 already proofed people dig old school RPG's still.
People who were making this game shouldn't be making an RPG in the first place. When I found at level one you can choose a faction which include Grey Warden and Antivan Crow, I said ''Pause'. Both of these factions even if you are new recruits, they are already trained at least level 4 or 5. They shouldn't be level 1. Wardens need to undergo the Joining ritual and after that already developed a network of other wardens. Antivan crows basically are basically Battle Royale. I prefer factions to be introduced later. And there should be a requirement to join those a faction.
You are the only person who reviewed this purely on gameplay, despite so much more to say. Props man, all I cared about was exactly what you focused on. If gameplay was decent I could have skipped the dialogue but.. just wow.
@SeriousPeaches Most games writing is shit nowadays, if the gameplay is good I'll still play it. Skipping every quest dialogue in an MMO but still enjoying the MMO is a good example.
The dialogue is so fucking disjointed and unnatural dude. Topics will just shift mid-conversation for no reason, or sometimes dialogue lines won't flow into the next. A character will say something, another character responds and it has very little to do with what was previously said. Or it's said in such a way that it's just "related", but doesn't make any sense. Like a very grating conversation about cookies. Person 1 "I like the cookies better" Person 2 "Everyone likes the cookies better" Person 1 "I'll eat the fruit." Huh??? That's an actual piece of dialogue in this game. All delivered with deadpan delivery and facial expressions so you can't tell how characters are feeling. My rinky-dink animu JRPG made by 60 people has better dialogue and facial expressions than million dollar companies these days with hundreds of staff working on a single game.
Damn it's such a shame because visually the combat does look good :/ But satisfying enemies to fight matters almost as much as the combat feeling good. To me combat is what matters most, if that is good I can play basically anything.
Appreciate the compliment but I'm sure there are great reviewers on YT. I would recommend some but don't watch any gaming channels so that I'm not influenced by their opinions. I heard SkillUp did a great job with Veilguard review.
They nailed the hair. So that’s nice. Edit: actually the hair is ridiculously overdone, too soft and often stupidly full-bodied. Like a shampoo commercial X 100. Goofy looking.
The game is unremarkable. There is no sense of freedom to either be "good" or "evil". The game directs you on ideological language use and encourages you to use polite language. Forgettable characters with little or no facial expressions. The story is forgettable, with no deeply moving narratives. It tries to teach and impose a direction on the player, rather than allowing the player to explore the world, to learn, stumble, and fail. Cut scenes happen in quick succession, letting me believe I'm in a movie. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is not nearly as profound and enigmatic as Dragon Age origins. It shall soon be forgotten. If you enjoy it, I wish you all the best.
Thank you for the honest review. I can forgive anything but being blatantly lied to made me very bitter towards this game. This is fraud in my country. They wanted to steal my money by promising me something this game is not. I cannot accept this. There are gaming journalists givning this obviously bad game a 9 or 10/10. Integrity is a very rare thing these days.
The writing and dialogue is horrifically bad. Gameplay isn't Dragon Age at all. I am so sick of party based RPGs being dumbed down into games where you can't control your entire party. What a waste. Bioware hasn't made anything good in over a decade.
I have no problem with the graphics, character designs, eh, the combat looked interesting and I do find the combat fun but had no nostalgia for Dragon Age until 4 days ago lol. In anticipation to play Veilguard I started playing Dragon Age Origins 4 days ago to check out the writing. I put 14 hours by the time Veilguard launched and yeah the writing in DA Origin is on another level. It was so good, it got a hold of me with its setting, characters and player choice. I also hate that everything must be a joke like a marvel movie these days.
The great copy/paste attempt at a game last seen in DA2. These once great gaming companies no longer deserve my $ but thats how it works. The new guys are taking over, Larian and CDPR. The glory days for these old gaming companies are dead and gone.
Something I also find really important is the itemization. I don’t particularly enjoy arpgs.. even though I’ve really, really tried.. but when it comes to items related to progression curve, nothing beats Diablo 2. Today rarity still follows the “wow” hierarchy: Common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary.. and most rpgs today throw epics at you in the beginning and before you know it it’s all about legendary. Itemization is an art form, and it can grant the game a huge impact done correctly. Mostly today unfortunately is polarizing and inflating. If everything is legendary nothing is. There’s nothing exciting about the loot. How’s the itemization in Veilguard?
i saw the games starting 50 min's and the only thing I can think of the story is "why does nobody seem to really care?" Most characters say stuff, but they don't feel like they really care. They start gives you the feeling the world is ending but the characters just a a bar brawl and drink a beer -_- I think there are more important things than that.... The story also lost me when the guy wanting to destroy the world basically just forgot what communication skills are and forgot to mention some crucial details. MC messes everything up, and now you as player can clean up your own mess. is that really the way to start a game? And why does the narration start with "And this is where you come in."? That is the most important sentence for me to instantly lose interest in a story.
Shills coming out in full force. Some are diehard Dragon Age fans who would've gladly lapped up raw turds considering they waited 10 years for a new game. Some are avid supports of the ideological things in the game that would've blindly supported the game even if it was largely nonfunctional. Then finally you've got the few people who are genuinely enjoying the game regardless of all the issues it has. Honestly i'm sad to have waited 10 years for something that not only preaches to me but is just lackluster on top of that. It's not a good time to be a Dragon Age fan.
@rpgdivision I know what I'm playing and I like this game alot they are not "bots" the reason that there's so many different type of games is because not everyone likes the same thing. The real bots are the people who let someone tell them how they should feel about a game without playing it for themselves
This game basically seems like an Elder Scrolls Online DLC. The combat is simple, the writing mediocre, the visuals are MMO. The combat in particular looks exactly like ESO, with the rolling around and abilities and flashing red danger zones
Dude hardly anybody used the tactical camera to play there wasn’t much tactics in origins. People want to hold Orgins up as some godly game it’s not a perfect game it’s a great game especially when considering when it came out, but am positive if Orgins came out today exactly how it was back then just with better graphics people would still bash the combat and writing. I read tons of books and comics and the only game series to impress me with dialogue and choice was Mass Effect.
@@connordutton674I mean you're not wrong. Origins did have some problems but on the whole not only told a better story and gave you a lot more options when it came to dialogue. Plus there is a unique starting zone for each race with different dialogue options depending on your class and stats.
Origins is one of the all time greats for the genre and i was hyped when this was announced. Shame what it's turned out to be, massive thanks for the review covering all the relevant stuff, you saved me some money
I am enjoying it. At the start, I felt disappointed. Veilguard felt a lot like FFXVI: action combat-oriented, extremely linear and very simplified RPG and progression systems. Then, a few hours later, when some areas are open to explore, I realized that DA: Veilguard was extremely superior as an RPG and as a game. Customizing your group really matters once you understand combos and when some areas open to exploration the secondary quests are full of mystery and fun well thought puzzles. FFXVI didn't have any of that. Just stupid fetch secondary quests with bad dialogue and no story. I recommend playing in hard difficulty, so you are forced to to think your build and explore to survive. And a lot of people are mad because this game changes a lot the vibe versus later Dragon Age games, and because they force the woke stuff in the character creation and in some dialogue with "they" and being no-binary if you want and blablabla. I get it, I hate that too, but if you only focus on that you are really losing a very good gaming experience for some small stupidity. And to say that its "one of the worst rpg ever made" its obviously a click-bait title. Just ignore this stuff.
what gaming experience? this is an rpg with a dragon age title, they butchered the story, they made a mockery of the lore, they spat on previous choices and personas. If you are playing this for other than the story or if you find the inconsequential, bland, gay and illogical dragon age story the most appealing, then there are other better action rpgs out there which does both story and gameplay better than this slop. I suggest you pirate this and save yourself some money or you like this because of the message then go ahead and waste your money on this because the big corpos will just tear this game down because it doesnt meet expectations. Also, this is the most linear dragon age title to date

Yeah same man i like dragon age 2,not gonna put it at the same tier as dao,but to me its a good game on its own,specially since it had 16 months or so development time,and origins was i think 5 or 6 years,so i cant really hate devs for reusing a lot of same environment,which was one of the complaints for the game,they needed more time.
"Wasn't polished" is an understatement. EA gave them a year to do da2 it and they've pulled a miracle creating something as engaging as that (everyone's praising Larian studios but their re-cycling of da2 companions for both dos2 and bg3 is so plain transparent. That's how good da2's writing is.) Voice direction was outstanding, they've never pulled out a Varric like that ever since. Still - compared to origins, da2 is a scam, that's how I felt. I returned to it a decade after it's release and it grew on me. DAI feels like (and probably is) a repurposed mmo, yet Tresspaser alone somehow made the whole experience worth it. What we see now is a mobile clicker game with sprites for followers and paid costumes repurposed for pc. It cannot be fixed in any way, only redone from the ground up. And nothing about it can be justified for due to it's nature it was created as a scam pretending to be not just any RPG game, but a Dragon Age game.

Fair enough. If a game doesn't hook you in a generous 10 hours, you have no obligation to keep playing it and giving it more chances. Gone are the days where we have limited options for entertainment and a lot of time. Our time is worth more than slogging through something we don't enjoy, succumbing to the sunk-cost fallacy.
I think that’s fair. You shouldn’t have to play a game for 20 or 30 hours for it to “get better”, or to get to a point where it’s fun. All the nonsense aside, Veilguard looked extremely mediocre to me from the beginning. I had almost no expectations, and it sounds like it won’t even meet those. I’ve loved the dragon age games(even Inquisition), but this is a hard pass for many more reasons than woke content. It just doesn’t look good.
Your Rook looks like he glued his beard and put a wig on to look like santa for christmas
right?? i Thought I was the only one seeing that: :D
I am so surprised ign gave it a 9 lol it’s almost like EA paid for a 9 review
Not even close to the first time IGN has given horrible games ridiculous scores because they're made by a large publisher. That behavior dates all the way back to 20+ years ago.
The person who did IGN review identifies as nonbinary so it was always going to get a good review.
Uh, no. There's no "almost" here. That's exactly what happened. Maybe not in cold hard cash but bought and paid for nonetheless.
Didn't need to get paid. It's a game made by troons for other troons. And the IGN reviewer was either a troon or some other sort of related freak.

My question is why would people play and defend this so hard when BG3 and Metaphor are available and are both so much better.
I had the same thought.
The opening of Metaphore is like 4 hours before the game really starts. mostly prologue up to that point.
And even that prologue is already more interesting than this game probably ever will be. If all the other reviews are to be believed.
You can't say anything bad either. Where are the days you can be an ass to your party. Where are the consequences of the earlier DA games?
Because they live in a bubble and in their mind people who critique any aspect of this slopfest are attacking the "inclusivity" present in it and trans people. They can't understand that the game just sucks as they couldn't see a good game if it kicked them in the balls. Meanwhile they call people criticizing it "tourists"
Because it is not about the game. It's an ideological battle.
Metaphor is awesome
@@SeriousPeaches actually having a hard time getting into Metaphor despite Persona 5 being one of my favorite games ever.
The game has peaked at 75k players, this game is in trouble of meeting its' budget... all intents and purposes, this has been a fail.
Yep they'll need to sell at least 5m copies to break even. EA will probably give them the axe soon just like the rest of their graveyard of studios.
At least it wasn't 600 players like concord
@accretionist1 that's only because DA is an established IP that people had some faith in
@@accretionist1 to be fair, you are right, but a fail is still a fail, a lot of the popularity for Dragon Age has been old fans coping and hoping it was going to be better than Inquisition or origins, it just simply is not.

Games media will blame the fact Veilguard was pirated on day 1 as a reason for low sales.
Denuvo will use Veilguard as an example of why devs should use them.

Man, I was hoping for this game to be good. Origins is one of my tops.
Same here, mate
if you didnt know, dragon age died with origins
Bioware is no more
Origins is one of the best RPG ever. This "thing" has nothing to do with it.
@@aethelfrythhawkins4419 yea, i agree with that. They used to be my favorite, along with Bethesda. Nowadays, Obsidian and Larian are on top, especially when it comes to writing, choice, and consequence.
And I thought Bethesda was circling the drain. Never underestimate Bioware to set a new low.
Nice take mate. Subbed.
I feel like the devs sat in a studio and played too many games where the enemies had multiple healthbars and decided: "THAT'S A GOOD IDEA!"
As always you never disappoint in your opinion, The only thing good in Vailguard is that it took off the mask of a lot of shills.
I'll never understand how these projects, movies and video games, that involve hundreds of people yet they so casually hire the most incompetent people in key positions: project leader and writers.
its not like they didnt know either. the main producer of dragon age the veilguard identifies as "queerosexual gendermancer". it sounds like im making it up, but trust me im not. go look it up.
It isn't incompetence; it's 100% intentional.
It's blatantly obvious that big studios are hiring based on ideals, and not merit.
They use competent devs to make the game work and function and then fill in leadership positions with people they "Agree" with.
Bioware has none of the original people left, its a masquerade.
Me to Dragon Age 2:
Perhaps I treated you too harshly
A big problem here is the long development time. Popular genres change. This game started 9+ years ago as a multiplayer action RPG, hence the emphasis on linear maps, fast and flashy combat, and weak storyline. When they realised (4 years ago) that players were turning against games in this genre, Bioware or EA switched towards single player with unkillable companions and presumably added more RPG elements and maybe padded out the story and voice acting. Maybe this is when they added the puzzles, to give the single player something extra to do, but they were now limited by their earlier choices of map design.
This is not a game that spent its entire development cycle as a single player, story-based, role playing game. It was forced to do a drastic change after most of the design and game engine choices were already made and we can see the results clearly.
In case you're wondering, the facts I've heard of are the 9 and 4 years and the switch from multiplayer to single player. The rest is conjecture on my part but it feels reasonable.
The decision to change 4 years ago is widely believed to be due to the failure of the Marvel Avengers game which was released in 2020 and rapidly collapsed.
If Sucker Punch and the Ghost of Yotei sequel mention the words "non-binary, gay or trans" in their promotional material or the game itself, i am closing my wallet indefinitely to them as a studio.
Just play with Japanese audio and the subtitles off 😜
Id wager theyd go for the subtle kind of propaganda instead. A studio has to be at a terminal condition for it to be this blatant.
Also cry, you gonna cry a lot.
But they haven't, so why are you hating already?
@@blinkwire01Why ask questions you already know the answer to?
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you! Well not shocked at all actually.
i hate how ppl a like . this rpg game writing sucks ,dialog sucks , combat not interesting. but heyy game looks good and voice acting is good so this is good game . WTF . did i transport in alternative universe or what
People are used to eating shit at this point
all the mainstream reviews even used the same language. It's a farce
its funny to me how I can see people defend the character models.
The facial animations are better in DA 1 -_-
I hate voices in this mostly too. Californian vibe. And I am not even englsh native. Do some westerners still have any taste in anything? Woke pressure gotta be hard
As it seemed from the previews, the people who loved Origins (ie. the people who like cRPGs, tactical combat, character building, dark, mature themes, player choices that matter...) will probably hate this one. They dumbed down the already dumbed down stuff from DA2 and Inquisition. They even dumbed down the role-playing elements, the dialogues are atrocious and unbearable...
@@StanjeBrojila Imagine this game coming out after BG3. Gamers know that games like Veilguard don't have to be made anymore.
@@gameburn178 Made the same point. BG3, Pathfinder 1 and 2, even the smaller ones - Pillers of Eternity, Wasteland 2 and 3. All of them clearly far superior to this dross.
Honestly, they could have made it an isometric rpg, had mostly text based dialog - saved a bunch of money on VA and character animation, and gone back to their roots in DA Origins. It would have been a vastly better game for it.
@threewiseman1 Another idea worth persuing, you are right. They gave up on the tactical rpg combat from the first and to some extent, the second games. And went pretty full action game. Might have worked, having it be simpler is not necessarily worse. Elden Ring is simple, sort of, but the timing matters and skill in general, so we celebrate it.
I'm honestly baffled how a reviewer like mortismal with an established experience with rpg systems can give this such positive feedback. The only way i can fathom the thought is imagining EA contacting the guy and offering him a buttload of money and telling him to shut up!
The Dragon Age sub-reddit loves mentioning his review to shill for this garbage, like his opinion is absolute. That is the same guy who shilled for Starfield, Unknown 9 and BG 3 Act III, he has ZERO credibility and is a total clown.
And he is the ONLY reviewer worldwide who 100% completes the games. He actually plays them ,instead of b'tching about them like you on the comments ;-)
@@GhOsThPk Agreed. Had some respect for the guy before since i had full empathy for his life story but yeah, the ones you mention plus the constant shill attitude towards what's perceived to be controversial. Hard not to believe he's desperate to be a part of the access media.

@@marionunes86 Like the guy above your latest comment, he truly believes that Mortisclown 100% any game merely because he says that he does. News flash, he doesn't 100% anything, it was proven with his Starfield videos, he didn't mention nor knew things that you could only know if you had played new game+ which is required to 100% the game, but he still is a clown and went saying that he did and even more clowns are the people like the guy above who believes it.
The biggest drawback emerges with playtime in that you cannot ROLE PLAY in a role playing game. Your protagonist is very on rails in terms of what motivations you want for them or actions you choose for them. You will be subjected to a few variations of the same piss poor dialogue no matter what you do. All in a world that doesn't feel real with companions that don't feel real or even interesting. There's zero immersion, the death sentence of any RPG.
I don't get why they didn't carry over The Inquisitor as the main character. That's disappointing. Especially Solas not being the primary antagonist. The combat is really.... claustrophobic too. WAY too many effects on screen.
Because the game isn't made by OR for people who have played a Dragon Age game.
Every dragon age is a new main character. This Rook is the most pointless of all of them though as they have nothing important about them to justify being the leader.
I never thought I'd say this, but veilguard makes Andromeda look like game of the year. The combat was better by far, more engaging and had more variety. The combination system was better done. The allies actually killed things and could draw aggro and die. The companions looked better, Cora was still a bombshell. Story was better paced and flowed more consistently.
Veilguard is going to be the Disney star wars to the OT.
Yeah it seems like Bioware makes worse game with each itteration kinda weird isnt it.
The DA: Origins banter between companions, you know, just as you are walking around and they chatter in the background ... that is better than the actual story written into Veilguard. Alistair and Morrigan say some hilarious stuff sniping each other.
I was playing earlier and he and Leliana started badmouthing Morrigan and questioning my char's sanity for romancing her while we were both in the party. Made me laugh.

Remember when Dragon Age was a sort of realistic fantast setting? You know, there were dragons & magic and the like but things still felt realistic to an extent. Failguard here looks like an actual anime game, it doesn't even look like it belongs in the same franchise.
What a sad state for my actual favorite fantasy setting of all time. As far as I'm concerned, this is non-canon. Hell, it breaks canon enough to be considered as such anyway.

I like how many of the negative reviews are "The Representation issues are the least of the games worries". Exactly how I feel. From all the reviews, both positive and negative ones, I viewed, they all seem to mention the same things that are bad about it and how it's not really a RPG just a game with basic RPG elements. As a oldschool Dragon Age fan I just hate how with each new DA game they spit on Origins and step further away from it. Bring back the mechanics from DA:O, BG3 already proofed people dig old school RPG's still.
Dragon Age 2 was decent. Bioware was given an impossible time-frame and thus they decided to focus on the characters, writing and combat.
People who were making this game shouldn't be making an RPG in the first place. When I found at level one you can choose a faction which include Grey Warden and Antivan Crow, I said ''Pause'. Both of these factions even if you are new recruits, they are already trained at least level 4 or 5. They shouldn't be level 1. Wardens need to undergo the Joining ritual and after that already developed a network of other wardens. Antivan crows basically are basically Battle Royale.
I prefer factions to be introduced later. And there should be a requirement to join those a faction.
You are the only person who reviewed this purely on gameplay, despite so much more to say. Props man, all I cared about was exactly what you focused on. If gameplay was decent I could have skipped the dialogue but.. just wow.
You only care about the gameplay in an RPG? wat. Thats like saying all I care about is story in a character action game rofl.
@SeriousPeaches Most games writing is shit nowadays, if the gameplay is good I'll still play it. Skipping every quest dialogue in an MMO but still enjoying the MMO is a good example.
@@TH-camgrtthere are shit stories and then there are Veilguard story
At least da:2 had some redeeming qualities and still had good writing and good art style even with dated graphics imo at least
You can hear the disappointment in your voice.
The dialogue is so fucking disjointed and unnatural dude. Topics will just shift mid-conversation for no reason, or sometimes dialogue lines won't flow into the next. A character will say something, another character responds and it has very little to do with what was previously said. Or it's said in such a way that it's just "related", but doesn't make any sense. Like a very grating conversation about cookies.
Person 1 "I like the cookies better"
Person 2 "Everyone likes the cookies better"
Person 1 "I'll eat the fruit."
Huh??? That's an actual piece of dialogue in this game. All delivered with deadpan delivery and facial expressions so you can't tell how characters are feeling. My rinky-dink animu JRPG made by 60 people has better dialogue and facial expressions than million dollar companies these days with hundreds of staff working on a single game.
THANK YOU, for actually being honest.
Nothing sounds better and straightforward than a guy with a russian accent dissing a game for its bad quality. xD
Remember, they spend 10 years & hundreds of millions of $, developing this piece of digital garbage....
The absolute state of modern day AAA gaming.
Damn it's such a shame because visually the combat does look good :/ But satisfying enemies to fight matters almost as much as the combat feeling good. To me combat is what matters most, if that is good I can play basically anything.
The last real reviewer left, sad day indeed, so many reviewers folded, I’m glad you didn’t
Appreciate the compliment but I'm sure there are great reviewers on YT. I would recommend some but don't watch any gaming channels so that I'm not influenced by their opinions.

“You can have fun with this game. But you can have fun staring up at the ceiling and imagining fun things.” Laughed out loud at this = Instant sub
*I've watched about an hour of pure gameplay and it doesn't move me in any way whatsoever 👎 just another hack slash with bad writing.*

They nailed the hair.
So that’s nice.
Edit: actually the hair is ridiculously overdone, too soft and often stupidly full-bodied. Like a shampoo commercial X 100. Goofy looking.
So basically Mass Effect Andromeda 2?
The game is unremarkable. There is no sense of freedom to either be "good" or "evil". The game directs you on ideological language use and encourages you to use polite language. Forgettable characters with little or no facial expressions. The story is forgettable, with no deeply moving narratives. It tries to teach and impose a direction on the player, rather than allowing the player to explore the world, to learn, stumble, and fail. Cut scenes happen in quick succession, letting me believe I'm in a movie. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is not nearly as profound and enigmatic as Dragon Age origins. It shall soon be forgotten. If you enjoy it, I wish you all the best.
A lot of those positive steam reviews have ZERO HRS played!
I noticed that most negative reviews were by ignorant backward bigots who played less than an hour, soooooooooooooo
Thank you for the honest review. I can forgive anything but being blatantly lied to made me very bitter towards this game. This is fraud in my country. They wanted to steal my money by promising me something this game is not. I cannot accept this.
There are gaming journalists givning this obviously bad game a 9 or 10/10. Integrity is a very rare thing these days.
The writing and dialogue is horrifically bad. Gameplay isn't Dragon Age at all. I am so sick of party based RPGs being dumbed down into games where you can't control your entire party. What a waste. Bioware hasn't made anything good in over a decade.
I have no problem with the graphics, character designs, eh, the combat looked interesting and I do find the combat fun but had no nostalgia for Dragon Age until 4 days ago lol. In anticipation to play Veilguard I started playing Dragon Age Origins 4 days ago to check out the writing. I put 14 hours by the time Veilguard launched and yeah the writing in DA Origin is on another level. It was so good, it got a hold of me with its setting, characters and player choice.
I also hate that everything must be a joke like a marvel movie these days.
The great copy/paste attempt at a game last seen in DA2. These once great gaming companies no longer deserve my $ but thats how it works. The new guys are taking over, Larian and CDPR. The glory days for these old gaming companies are dead and gone.
Something I also find really important is the itemization. I don’t particularly enjoy arpgs.. even though I’ve really, really tried.. but when it comes to items related to progression curve, nothing beats Diablo 2.
Today rarity still follows the “wow” hierarchy: Common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary.. and most rpgs today throw epics at you in the beginning and before you know it it’s all about legendary. Itemization is an art form, and it can grant the game a huge impact done correctly. Mostly today unfortunately is polarizing and inflating. If everything is legendary nothing is. There’s nothing exciting about the loot.
How’s the itemization in Veilguard?
Oh man you had to mention chained echoes... God that game was good.
I just found my new favorite reviewer in RPGdivision... Has the manliness of Werglia and the eloquence of fextralife and the spice of Cold beer.
What a stupid title. It's not a great game. Bad cringy, writing, but the worst r p g of all time is, it's not even close
i saw the games starting 50 min's and the only thing I can think of the story is "why does nobody seem to really care?"
Most characters say stuff, but they don't feel like they really care.
They start gives you the feeling the world is ending but the characters just a a bar brawl and drink a beer -_-
I think there are more important things than that....
The story also lost me when the guy wanting to destroy the world basically just forgot what communication skills are and forgot to mention some crucial details.
MC messes everything up, and now you as player can clean up your own mess.
is that really the way to start a game?
And why does the narration start with "And this is where you come in."?
That is the most important sentence for me to instantly lose interest in a story.
80% positive on Steam now though? What's going on?
People who don't know what they are playing and bots
Shills coming out in full force.
Some are diehard Dragon Age fans who would've gladly lapped up raw turds considering they waited 10 years for a new game. Some are avid supports of the ideological things in the game that would've blindly supported the game even if it was largely nonfunctional. Then finally you've got the few people who are genuinely enjoying the game regardless of all the issues it has.
Honestly i'm sad to have waited 10 years for something that not only preaches to me but is just lackluster on top of that. It's not a good time to be a Dragon Age fan.
@rpgdivision I know what I'm playing and I like this game alot they are not "bots" the reason that there's so many different type of games is because not everyone likes the same thing. The real bots are the people who let someone tell them how they should feel about a game without playing it for themselves
If EA is able to only giveaway review copies to sites that promiss 10/10 scores they sure as hell can bot the shit out of steam reviews.
Selection bias. If you think it's not for you why would you pay money for it
This game basically seems like an Elder Scrolls Online DLC. The combat is simple, the writing mediocre, the visuals are MMO. The combat in particular looks exactly like ESO, with the rolling around and abilities and flashing red danger zones
Combat looks like a mobile game *cries in DA:O*
Funny thing is - the more negative reviews i see for this game the more i want to try it. I probably gonna regret this lol
To bad that they went away from isometric tactical combat. In my opinion, Dragon Age Origins is still the best game in the series.
Dude hardly anybody used the tactical camera to play there wasn’t much tactics in origins. People want to hold Orgins up as some godly game it’s not a perfect game it’s a great game especially when considering when it came out, but am positive if Orgins came out today exactly how it was back then just with better graphics people would still bash the combat and writing. I read tons of books and comics and the only game series to impress me with dialogue and choice was Mass Effect.
@@connordutton674I mean you're not wrong. Origins did have some problems but on the whole not only told a better story and gave you a lot more options when it came to dialogue. Plus there is a unique starting zone for each race with different dialogue options depending on your class and stats.
Can’t believe Mortismal gave this slop his GOTY !
Your companions can't die...? This is baby's first RPG lol. How far Bioware has fallen. Shame
The funny thing is that after replaying DA2 as an adult it ended up becoming my favorite. I guess Hawke's story is just a lot more relatable to me.
I was waiting on your review, i've been following your guides and gameplays for a while and i know your opinion it will be good 👍
Origins is one of the all time greats for the genre and i was hyped when this was announced. Shame what it's turned out to be, massive thanks for the review covering all the relevant stuff, you saved me some money
I'm replaying origins just to purify myself from seeing this piece of trash.
same here but it didn't age well
Dragon age and mass effect were my high school memories. And it stay that way. I am just here for watch time, like, and comment.
I am enjoying it. At the start, I felt disappointed. Veilguard felt a lot like FFXVI: action combat-oriented, extremely linear and very simplified RPG and progression systems. Then, a few hours later, when some areas are open to explore, I realized that DA: Veilguard was extremely superior as an RPG and as a game. Customizing your group really matters once you understand combos and when some areas open to exploration the secondary quests are full of mystery and fun well thought puzzles. FFXVI didn't have any of that. Just stupid fetch secondary quests with bad dialogue and no story. I recommend playing in hard difficulty, so you are forced to to think your build and explore to survive. And a lot of people are mad because this game changes a lot the vibe versus later Dragon Age games, and because they force the woke stuff in the character creation and in some dialogue with "they" and being no-binary if you want and blablabla. I get it, I hate that too, but if you only focus on that you are really losing a very good gaming experience for some small stupidity. And to say that its "one of the worst rpg ever made" its obviously a click-bait title. Just ignore this stuff.
what gaming experience? this is an rpg with a dragon age title, they butchered the story, they made a mockery of the lore, they spat on previous choices and personas. If you are playing this for other than the story or if you find the inconsequential, bland, gay and illogical dragon age story the most appealing, then there are other better action rpgs out there which does both story and gameplay better than this slop. I suggest you pirate this and save yourself some money or you like this because of the message then go ahead and waste your money on this because the big corpos will just tear this game down because it doesnt meet expectations. Also, this is the most linear dragon age title to date

@@brendanclark1058Yes it is. The woke (militant, puritan, progessive) work environment made it so any sort of edge and conflict had to be sanded off due to the risk of someone being triggered/offended.
@@brendanclark1058 obviously it is, any normal person can see how absurd the writing is
@@brendanclark1058 Yes it is. You can't separate it from the bad writing and characters (which are designed specifically to cater to that 1deology)
@@brendanclark1058 of course it is
После часов 15 в игре я воспринимаю повествование как "По Тедасу с Дашей-путешественницей". Как верно подметили в комментариях к одному из обзоров: "Иногда кажется что Рук повернется к камере и спросит: "Итак дети, чему мы научились сегодня?""
Reject woke/communism.
Buy Kingdom Come 2.
So which game do you suggest as a game of the year?
never forget they scraped dread wolf for this trash
Dreadwolf was Destiny in a DA skin, it was trash as well.
Live Service games are worse than this
The gameplay footage looks exhausting to watch I can't even imagine how it plays.
It's a dragon age....I'm going to play it. Thrilled to see if I like it or not
Dragon age only has ONE good game, the franchise as a whole deserves no credit, all the devs that made Origins are long gone by now.
You took one for the team sir. This game was made strictly for the modern audience and that is never a good thing. Its so damn purple like jeeeesus
