As the planks of Theseus' ship needed repair, it was replaced part by part, up to a point where not a single part from the original ship remained in it, anymore. ls it, then, still the same ship this same question can be applied to bioware
They use to make some very good companions in looks and style. They lost some in inquisition and they lost in Veilguard. They evan made a old guy the Necromancer a romanceable charecter, really a lod man, that's why I didn't romance Blackwall because he was old and not very good looking. They need to look at the Orientals on making beautiful charecters. I always look forward to the new games and always get disappointed. 😢
Dont fall for the narrative that the gameplay trailer is way bettter than the reveal trailer, they both suck.
it doesnt helps, theat everyone was able to look up the Inquisition looks or Harding And Varric and ask yourself, WHAT HAPPEN? why are they looking so different?? Like colour change of hair of Varric and Harding had not tiktok-filter freckles in the last game. wtf.
I'll never buy a game that I deem as being a produce of radical leftwing developers again. And, sadly this game falls into that category.
Investors and CEO’s only understood that games make money so they got involved. They never learned WHY games make money though, so now we only get slop created by people who don’t know how to cook.
Or psychology major creating store fronts with a game facade
They have become my favorite Skinner boxes.
True. Finally, gamers are getting it. We need to let AAA fail so the greedy investors and businessmen leave. Once they are gone, all that will remain will be those who think money is secondary to a fun game. Think of it like chemo for Gaming Industry.
@SimuLord Sadly, they end up getting dejected and crunched to death making a game they know is bad. That's why Biowares talent fled. How many endless crunch cycles on games you hate would it take to kill someone's passion to create?
@@valekofastora1027that’s not exactly fair is it? Why shouldn’t devs want to make money? They have to eat and pay rent as well, the “money should be secondary to you when making game” attitude exists a lot in the Japanese game industry and has led to some extremely poor working conditions
"And then EA got involved" basically sums up every failure of every company they own since The Sims 1, honestly.
Except that BioWare sabotaged itself since Dragon Age Inquisition. Mass Effect Andromeda, Anthem, Dragon Age :Veilguard and the eventual Mass Effect 5 are all bad games and all the responsibility lies on BioWare. EA is only their publisher on those games
What evidence do u have that ea is hands off with bioware.
Did ea buy bioware and the employees are like cool let's all quit because we have a bigger budget and freedom now?
@@PEC0TTO EA owns the studio man, they're the ones that call the shots at Bioware.
@@lov_eli I suggest you to take a few minutes and research Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda and DragonAge Veilguard (previously Dreadwolf) development hell, and you'll see that all EA did was making a budget and a dealine. BioWare is responsible for the failure of 2 projects (Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda) and with the few reveals of their new game, it doesn't seem this one is gonna fare that good.
@@PEC0TTO Bioware is EA, EA is Bioware. Same company.
all the old dragon age bioware devs have been ethier fired or quit. bioware has no idea how to make games anymore
Some have left for a second time since DA4 started development.
Who cares I get what I want more dragon age inquisition
The writers who made the story have been there since Origins though.
@@biggydx Hopefully they will be the saving grace for Bioware since story is what's really important for Bioware games.
@@biggydx Not really...
Gaider left Bioware, Baudion died, Berry left, Erickson left, Dombrow left, Helper left, Kirby left, Kristjanson left, Laird left, Turner left, May left...
Only a few of the the writers are still at Bioware.
I still have a problem with how they changed the darkspawn and the demon models. They look like cartoon enemies or just goofy, one thing I like about Dragon Age Origins was some of the scary aspects of doth these enemies.
yeah u clearly never played any of the da games
@@miceatah9359 really I own them on console as well as pc lol
Well see. If they are too bad the pc players can always mod them to look better...
As long as the core gameplay and story is good it's fine. Everything else can be fixed by players. Yeah, i know it's better if everything just works out of the box but i'm just saying there is stuff we can do to most problems to make then more managable. Mods can fix that.
@@Mietin Why should players be expected to rely on mods? The devs are disrespecting their audience by completely having changed the aesthetics and vibe of the series… I don’t get your point man.
@@toki3257 My point is then something can at least be salvaged. Fix what can be fixed when the game drops free on EPIC. No hell am i paying for the game as it is 😅
And yeah, players shouldn't have to mod a game for it to be tolerable, but it is what is.
Problem is that people are sick of the Marvelization of characters and tone. Its that same kinda dumbass tone where thery're kinda quirky and kinda silly. They dont take themselves seriously but have the skills to get the job done. Personally I just cant stand that style of writing and I cannot wait for this trend to die out.
Did you even watch the video? The game is nothing like that first trailer.
@@cablefeed3738 gameplay could be god tier, best in the industry and set the bar for everyone else. However if the characters you interact with aren't pleasant to be around and the overall tone fo the writing leaves a bad taste in ones mouth the gameplay dont mean shit.
@@RageRaccoon The voice lines in the gameplay seemed the exact same as they were an Inquisition. There's not any extra lulls, so mean in the actual gameplay conversations
Exactly. Buffy came and went. Marvel came and went (no matter what Disney says). I've had my fill of Joss Whedon knock off writing.
@@cablefeed3738 that may be the case but first impressions are everything. Also who's to say they haven't cherry-picked the dialogue they knew people would like. Then behind the scene they are going "oh shit, oh fuck, oh no, this is gonna bomb."
Less party members, an "in depth" skill tree but only 3 skills available at a time, mission based. Sounds like a train wreck.
I don't know about skill tree, but "3 skills" seems to be console UI. It was like this in Inquisition.
@@teriyatoraelon4855 Inquisition kinda allowed for more skills than three to be used.
@@teriyatoraelon4855 4x2*
Mission based? Like left to dead?
they just turned it into Mass Effect Fantasy.
That ENTIRE trailer I honestly kept expecting them to reveal it was a MOBA/hero shooter/similar spinoff title and not an actual main game title. The combination of the more cartoonist art direction and the presentation of the trailer focusing on character reveals just screamed MOBA to me.
The whole thing just looks ridiculous. I am biased because I hate that style but still...
Dragon Squad: Clash with the Justice God.
Same. Watched it with my wife, and we both went "did they make a shooter or moba in the DA universe?". So out of place when you look at the previous games...
@@jarodp1027 I like that style, and i hated the trailer... I just not DA... I mean, when they reveal the veil jumper and she is laughing while being pulled by the tentacles... Did James Gun directed the trailer?!
I thought it was for a mobile game spin-off.
Their best was to show us evidence that suggests a mage will be walking around with only 3 spells? Were they high?!
Im sorry what?
I've been a mage on all games, being able to use more than 5 spells at once was life saving, now i have to choose what 3 most important to take?
They are all important....
Maybe they felt they had to dumb it down even more for the console players?
doesn't make sense, Inquisition had really good solution for consoles, they could have port it into veil guard @@bigguy130
@@IIIIIIIIIIIIIWOWIIIIIIIIIIIIII People are overreacting to this. Every DA game in console version showed about 3 or 4 quick-select abilities. And you could always use more by bringing up another shortcut menu. For the PC version, you could usually have them all shown on the bottom of the screen. What we were shown was early in the game too. Bioware had an AMA on reddit answering some questions regarding what to expect.
But really, a lot of people are jumping to mad conclusions over certain aspects of the game.
That UI looks suspiciously familiar to what you've have in a mobile screen.....and the cartoonish looks kinda check out to be almost a mobile game.....if that's so..may God have mercy on their souls.....
I dunno how they put this trailer together and could say "This looks great! Release it".
Modern audiences. That dont buy videogames.
Remember Anthem? Pepperidge Farms Remembers
@@RanivusCh I gave up on bioware after dragon age: Inquisition and ME andromeda. Not that DA:I was horrible. It was good but I expected amazing so a let down anyway. This game with it's 3 active spells/skills isn't going to make me go into a hype frenzy.
honestly the story trailer doesn't bother me that much. The gameplay trailer, however, showed me that this is not a dragon age game and its just fantasy Mass Effect and more action based than DA2 console.
I love Mass Effect, but I don't want that in Dragon Age so I will not be playing this game and don't really give a shit what they do with the story.
@@dongarippo7279 3 active spells... what an absolute fucking joke. Two "companions" you don't even control.... and thats just for starters
Only thing i wanted from modern BioWare was an Origins remaster, now i don't even want that anymore.
that and kotor 1 remaster
maybe if we ask Larian nicely
I’m terrified if they do it and do it for a “modern audience”.
@@tameelah3839 yeah I would only trust Larian for this. I don't want modern Bioware to put their filthy claws on my beloved Origins.
i miss it when bioware was good, remember mass effect 2 and 3
can we destroy biowares phlactery im tired of them puppeting the corpses of things i loved
Phylactory good one
Always hated how EA butchered and shut down studios since the 90s. First time, im rooting for them. Weird feeling.
Put a woman in it and make it gay
We live in a time where this joke would be considered a deep cut.
Maker help us all.
If it makes you feel any better they're just another corpse being puppeted. The Litch we seek is EA.
This game has made me realize BioWare just doesn't make anything i'm interested in anymore. I'm done with BioWare games in general. I don't even care about the next Mass Effect. They can keep it unreleased and shut down the entire studio for all I care.
The one darkspawn cheesing with a big ole wacky smile on its face was the ultimate, “What the hell is this Mickey Mouse stuff?”, moment for me in that trailer.
@@Moon222 Oh darn. They pulled a Neverwinter Nights 2, didn't they? My condolences.
@@Moon222 inquisition had green neon lights for rifts and colorful neon spells. It's not a new style.
Gameplay: most people who play these games are casual and dont use tactical camera or switch characters, they play on easy or normal. For them, this combat is an improvement. Given how DAO combat just feels like sluggish mmo combat if you just control 1 character.
world: Each region has different culture and is advanced differently. Do you not remember Val Royeaux? This is Tevinter, this is most advanced magically. It's like comparing Stormwind to Dalaran. Besides DAO had a golem with a control rod...
Too much information dumping? Are you playing these games for combat?
@@Frozenkexit's absolutely a new style. Saying "oh well Inquisition had the same style as this because it also had brightly colored magic" is like saying dogs and cats are the same animal because they both have paws.
@@arglebargle5531 It was green instead of purple. what else?
@@Moon222 purple neon beams... as opposed to green neon beams? Its just mechanics beyond just punching really hard which mechanically isn't really interesting for action combat.
Youre misinterpreting things here.
Also the fade would very boring if all pride demons everywhere are identical, why cant they have variety or something distinct between the games?
Bruh youre just lacking imagination and werent paying attention if you think its all drab like dragon age origins, cookie cutter tolkien world.
Yes different culture, magitech, its not a new concept.
And youre unnecessarily pedantic about the dialogue, all of that isnt part of the same conversation and its different characters reacting to the situation. They dont know all know what you the player knows lmao.
Like what do you think is wrong with saying "Solas always talked about how beautiful it was" ? It gives context to antagonists motivations to people especially those who didnt play previous games.
Inquisition is almost 10 years old... damn that makes me feel old... origins almost is 15... I think I feel my back going now.
How do you think I feel? I wasn't really that young when Black Isle and BioWare were all kind of intermingled and making BG1. If that makes you feel old, then you whippersnappers need to get off my lawn. :|
@@TrackMediaOnly yeah I mostly didn't start playing pc games until the 00s and didn't play rpgs (outside of pokemon) until around origins.
I wish I could pause time.
@@TrackMediaOnly It's time for bedtime, gramps.
in a vacuum, the second dragon age game really isn't a bad game. it's biggest issues was that it was the second in a series, and it didn't live up to the first.
The biggest issue was that BioWare wanted it to be an expansion to Origins, but EA needed another game by the end of the year, so they were forced to make DA2 within 9 months.
Yep, DAII was great, especially the companions. It just had to be right after origins.
The problem is that things dont happen in a vacuum.
forgot about being the cities janitor? visiting the same maps a dozen times? a storyline with literally no consequence?
It sounds like to me the series doesn’t really have bad games, just something of an identity crisis.
I haven't trusted that DA4 would be good since Anthem was announced and I won't trust it until it comes out.
There really is no end to the features that, that this game does not bring back. Makes inquisition look like a Cult Classic.
Inquisition and Andromeda were trash. Lost my trust long before Anthem.
You know what, that is a sensible approach. I like what I've seen so far but I wholly agree with the notion that we should be skeptical, especially given Bioware and EAs track record. I just don't think that we disregard this game yet, as many people already have.
You can tell from the art that its going to be shit, factor in the writing and it tells you everything you need to know. Just skip it bro.
@@holographicfrog1503 You can't tell that at all. Won't you keep an open mind? Nobody's forcing you to purchase at day one, you can wait for reviews, you lose nothing by keeping an open mind. But potentially you lose out by writing this off already. That's an easy equation for me.
Half the gameplay trailer was cutscenes, and the writing in those cutscenes was half-assed at best. “I thought you knew the area. Oh you don’t? Then I’ll lead us with my magical scout senses!” “I know these incredibly ordinary looking trees.” (Let’s not forget that Harding thought it was important to point that out while magic was visibly tearing open the sky directly ahead.) Or how about “the ritual”. They say it over and over with no variation. Eight years spent hunting Solas and trying to learn whatever they can about his plans, successfully tracking him to Minrathous and Arlathan, knowing he is alone, understanding that he is doing a ritual. All of this information and they never learned what the ritual is called? Or a general idea of what is involved? “The blade ritual”, “cutting the veil”, anything? It just feels so lazy.
This trailer was supposed to be indicative of the game as a whole, and if it has been successful in that, then this doesn’t feel like a Dragon Age game. It was certainly successful in stealing my optimism for a heartfelt continuation of one of my favorite dark fantasy series.
I wish more people were honest about games this game is gonna be crap and my optimism is dead. I’m not pessimistic but at least my eyes are open and my wallet is closed.
@@yugiboyable Agreeeeeeed. I feel like we've collectively been so gaslit by awful games and extra awful writing over the last few years that our standards are eroding fast. Because this...I used to teach middle schoolers creative writing. Most of those students could do better. And that gameplay, yeesh. It looks like 4/10 gameplay in one of the most oversaturated genres in gaming history.
Compare that to the elden ring shadow of the erdtree launch trailer, NIGHT AND DAY
Too few people mention what you mention here. The writing was really, really bland and dull. Everybody just stating the obvious, making snarky comments and making dumb guesses.
If that was the intro designed to pull us into the story, big oof.
@@Redcloudsrocks And what about the trailer of Elden Ring?
FromSoft has been releasing the same exact game for like 15 years now with next to no variation (well, except Sekiro, I guess), like it's some fucking FIFA. The trailer may be the masterpiece of cinematography, but the actual game will be just as it was in Dark Souls 1.
I don't want to write it off just because it's Dragon Age. If it wasn't, I'd never think twice about the game from what they've shown us. So far, it leaves me worried that, even if the game ends up okay, I don't know if I can trust them to continue the story in any faithful sense.
'Bioware knows what the game is' I beg to differ. They had no idea what Anthem was until they saw their own damn reveal trailer.
I have no intentions of buying this game - Bioware's performance these last few years has made me decide that I don't wanna touch their shit with a 300 foot pole, not until a few YEARS after it's come out and is on a 50% off sale, at LEAST.
I'm boarding a ship. I hear some guys are just gonna pick this up.
Same (a 100% sale for me)
Sevenlexar is speaking straight FACTS!! But for me it’s gonna be more like $5 bin that way when I’m disappointed I can throw it away with some catharsis.
Exactly. All my fears were realized
I'm pretty sure they know what the game is considering it comes out in a few months and has been fully playable from beginning to end for a year and a half.
I get the impression they predicted that the next Gen wanted on rails shooters and now baldurs gate 3 has entirely blown that out of the water. I know I'll be waiting for gameplay footage from reviewers
I agree with the first part. The actual gameplay reveal was enough for me to pass on it.
Dude bladers gate sucks because it’s turns Based. I do not understand why you guys think taking away control from a player is good.
@@robertrainford6754its called strategy it requires thought instead of reaction. Your playing a very sophisticated game of chess isntead of mashing buttons. Some people really enjoying figuring things out.
@@robertrainford6754 I can agree with you there, I'm not a fan of turn based and by the end it got grating. However, it shows people would accept some depth and making their own character to roll with the decisions they made building them. I'd welcome real time if it didn't just turn character building into pick your weapon type
@@robertrainford6754you'd rather have a linear game where you have the illusion of control/choice?
Honestly can't believe they dropped a awsome title like Dreadwolf for The Veilguard.
I have a guess that its due to Solas no longer being the focus, but instead its the Ancient Gods instead, that is released by Solas after the showcase. Therefore they had to change it from Dreadwolf to Veilguard.
I dunno about had to, but yes. The story likely either shifted to or always was about dealing with _multiple_ threats to the veil, as opposed to just Solas.
More than likely it'll be Solas, the evanuris, and some opportunistic magisters all in the mix.
There were a number of people that didn't like Dreadwolf either.
@@AStrangeWindmill it was definitely going to be a story about stopping solas but they scrapped that because it probably would've taken too much skill to write and direct, so much easier to have the villain start the game off already putting their master plan into action, I mean can you imagine if they had to work on his character at all? Sheesh talk about a waste of time am I right
@@azzy9293totally just look at who the game director is and what they’ve said their goals were for the game and you can get an idea for why this game turned to shit. Especially if you look at the leak trailer when it was still dreadwolf as back then it looked like this game had a chance until this turd came out
13:38 "Bioware know what the game is..." Do they, though? After it took years for them to figure out that flying mech suits could be amazing?
On the other hand, after restarting development on the game 3 times (last I heard) I'd hope they'd know wtf they're making by now.
@@Newt0rzif thats true i bet its gotten worse each time. Tye first thing was probably perfect.
The entire reveal was a slap in the face. I mean if you can't make a decent rpg anymore at least make a decent action game but did you see those animations? The midair turning, the clunky parkour, the static enemies, the neon demons WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT!?!? The generic ai generated aesthetic? The characters with the weird dialogues between fights? The excessively scripted behaviors of enemies just for cinematic flair... Ugh. Both the reveal trailer and the gameplay trailer represent the pinnacle of decadence in the "AAA" game industry. This ofc, is just a very personal opinion since I used to love the franchise.
this game makes the new Assassin Screed looks amazing which makes me feel weird lol
Well AAA is a finance term and the _"quality"_ associated with it is quite _representative_ to say the least...
It looked more like marvel or borderlands, no thanks
Varric no longer being a redhead makes me sad.
Also RIP his chest hair and being the only dwarf too cool to rock a beard.
All the characters look bad
Blond. He was blond.
@@spectralassassin6030 strawberry blond.
@@MarineCARMINE The best looking character looks and sounds like Catalyst from Apex Legends. Just, ya know, a bonus: she also got a prosthetic leg! Wow!
Cant wait for 40 hours of smashing x and b in a completely linear mission based campaign, outside of choose your own adventure style dialog options 😅
"choose your own adventure style dialog options"
Now that's a great way of calling the dialog wheel system where all we get is "yes, maybe but yes, and no but I'll be back for yes" 😉
I can't wait to do the same shitty boring mmo gameplay for hours in the DA inquisition........
Choose your own adventure actually give you choices. You see different scenes. Far better than modern games.
@@mariobadia4553I'm sorry your dragon ages origin is mediocre at best. I'd rather play inquisition and yes I do agree that beginning area was boring.
@@Mark-et6lq damn then I'm sure you will love failguard since it's pretty much the same shit
People need to go back and watch the DA:O Sacred Ashes trailer, then ask themselves if what we have seen is in any way acceptable.
yeah that trailer is fucking awesome
Imagine if they did a remaster of Origins and it outsold Veilguard I'd love to live in that timeline.
I'd buy that. Honestly surprised they haven't made that yet.
Or remade the half baked da2
Except they would "improve" on it and not do a remaster. They just can't help themselves any more.
I bought DAO and 2 like 2 years back and already own the GOTY version of DAI.
I'd still buy the legendary version than the slop they're offering this year.
@@Moon222you are using those words wrong, or are insane.
I just think it is so ironic the game series originally billed as a return to form and homage to Baldur's Gate goes fully action RPG the same year BG3 releases and shows that type of game is still profitable.
It may still be good but when I first boot it up I will be thankful for Larian and Owlcat (Which just released their version of the Citadel DLC for Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous))
Also the new title The Veilguard reminds me of Jenny Nicholson's recent postmordum on the Star Wars hotel where all the paid ads required the use of the full name every time making all the ads and previews sound so corporate and inauthentic
That is because they had gotten several of the old BioWare (ME and DAO)to come back and then they let them go again.
@@TrackMediaOnly I know. It is still ironic.....don't you think?
You're right it is. I'm so happy Larian is successful while Bioware is falling apart. Bioware have betrayed their fans. Worse, they have insulted them. They deserve to be shut down for good now.
'I really liked mass effect'
I'm sure the dragon age fans who are upset find that a huge relief...
I love Mass Effect, its one of my favorite franchises of all time and I enjoy it more than Dragon Age.
I will not be playing this game, because its not dragon age. If I wanted to play this game I would go play Kingdoms of Amalur, because thats what this is.
@@Zectifin Worse probably
This feels a lot like the transition between Fallout 2 and Fallout 3. They lost a lot of fans but they gained even more
The dragon age fans also really like Mass Effect
Far be it for me to question your fan credentials but are you sure that you're DA fans? I mean, you sound more like Baldur's Gate 3 fans to me. No, you sound like Baldur's Gate 3 fanatics to me.
Guys don't worry, someone at corporate EA will see how well baldur's gate 3 did and make bioware copy that style for the next game. Just be patient for another 10 years, your kids will enjoy it after ur dead
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing about Veilguard sparks of Dragon Age.
When you strip a games identity, it loses popularity and you see a backlash, and rightly so.
It may still sell ok, but not even close to how it would have if they kept to the games core identity.
They'll scratch their heads, wondering why it didn't do great, too stupid to realise what they did.
And by then it will be too late. They will have another flop or underperformer, and the next Mass Effect will be a "what could have been" from another failed studio, never to see the light of day.
You are missing the biggest reson DA fans are fuming - game changed 3 times in 3 iterations but always remained party-based RPG , and now they scrapped the only staple that remained
How often did you change characters in inquisition? The combat was so shallow and boring. I think the only time I ever did was to resurrect someone.
@@michaelh878 quite a lot in first third unless i was playing a tank mc
The only way I'll be buying it is on discount after seeing game play and I owned all of the previous games day one. I do not trust companies and I do not really like the art style that I have seen. Even with the changes in each of the previous games the atmosphere still felt serious and dark, not some slapstick comic book.
Maybe if it ever comes down to twenty bucks.
EA/Bioware have used fake gameplay before.
No one cares if Origins had 1 bad trailer
Bioware/EA shouldn't have wasted almost a decade trying to make live service garbage
people using Origins, a 15 years old game, as an excuse for this 2024 game are hilarious
That one particular trailer of Origins wasn't even bad. It's just the second half of it was really tone deaf with the choice of music. That's literally it.
It was 99% cutscenes from the final game and, as far as I could tell, one short scene showing actual gameplay.
I don't even remember seeing it at the time. I definitely watched the cinematic CGI trailer instead.
Origins sucks lol
Ubisoft.
Dragon Age: The Dread Wolf - fuck yeah name
Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Why is veil guard? Oh yeah, the veil stuff ... right .. right ... right .. ok then
They went from having a central antagonist that we had connection to, to some vague crew of power rangers. Dreadwolf seemed much more intriguing and rewarding for returning players
Plus, I don't know about you, but "Veilguard" always looks like it should say "Vileguard" when I try to read it. Definitely not a well thought out name.
Veilguard, because Veilbreaker was already taken :D
I think that naming stuff anything-guard begs a single question - why? It sounds so bland, filled with fake pathos.
My first thought was "Veilguard? Isn't that basically what the Inquisition was? We already did this"
They should've stuck with Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. I was much more excited to track Solas across the Imperium as it gets ravaged by the Qunari, who are also searching for him. I didn't want to close up more holes in the Veil.
Dragon Age: Kill the Justice League
Gotham Age: Dragon knights.
Dragon Age: The Acolyte
Are we some kind of dragon suicide squad.
It looks like you didn't watch the video or you're just being obstinate. You know that it's not gonna be anything like that.
Dragon Acolyte: Kill the Veil League
The game looks mid at best...after 10 years of great RPG's ( The Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate 3 etc.) showing up with a slightly better looking mobile game is not gonna cut it anymore...
yeah I hope Bioware is shut down after this I'm so done with that company.
I disliked the trailer, was impressed by the graphics in the gameplay reveal ... The gameplay has moved in the direction I'd expected after the consolification of DA 2 and I question. Still not optimistic about this though.
@@deisophiagaming8216 I was bored just watching the gameplay after the first group of enemies.
That trailer was actually Dragon Age Origins. Sure, it was set to shitty music, but the trailer showed scenes from the cutscenes that actually ran in-game.
That cannot at ALL be compared to the bullshit Fortnite trailer Bioware just released for DAV
Ok so you never played Origins
Let's call it "DAVe".
I read about it on IGN. It apparently removed a squad member to have “the most action-oriented gameplay yet!” But I’m sitting here saying DA:O was BY FAR the best and that was the least action-focused gameplay lmao
Edit: also yeah, hate the name change. Not convinced I’ll buy it, and I LOVED BioWare. They WERE my favorite studio from ME/DA:O until the last 5 minutes of ME3 and Andromeda in general lol
They very much convinced me I will not buy it. I was so hopeful about two iterations ago, but those people left BioWare again.
@TrackMediaOnly same boat I was hyped when I first hear about dread wolf and after the trailer I decided half way into the trailer to pause it and ponder "what the hell did they do to this series?"
Yeah, the quality of the games after EA got a hold of them is lacking. Is it because of EA or just bioware changing? Who knows.
Dragon age Inquisition is the best dragon age game. And i'm glad this seems to be more like the one I like.
They tried the origins gameplay again inquisition and it felt like a mmo.
This reminds so much of what happened with Fable. A beloved first game and built a huge fan base over time, but never got a proper sequel. A devastating loss.
2 was great
2 was _comfortably_ the brightest star in the fable sky.
Fable 2 is really good, though! Maybe it's because it was my childhood, but I loved it then and still do.
If you want a proper successor to Origins I'd suggest Tyranny.
@@MAXIMILLIONtheGREAT 2 wasn't a bad game, but I wouldn't call it a true sequel. Fable 1 and 2 are very different games
RIP Dragon age 2009 - 2009.
🤣 😭
So, what, we're acting like the trailer was a fluke and the gameplay actually looked good? Because lmfao 😂
No way this game is worth $70.
Price isn't even out dude, chill out 😂
@@ashavellanar1965 You think they'd charge anything less?
@@ashavellanar1965 Have you ever bought a game before???
u are an very optimist person...i bet $70 will be the version without Dragons.
Why?
Are the previous three entries THAT different from one another? "Tone" is one thing, but what we are seeing of Veilguard vs the previous three games in totality is a radical departure from the franchise. I just don't see the differences in the other three among each other remotely close to this, not sure why it keeps getting parroted in games media atm.
DA 4 seems to be an entirely different genre of game.
From my memory DAO isis a top down semi turn based rpg. DA2 oversimplified the combat to a back camera thing with really ineffective apells. DAI is more like an mmo kind of combat. so yeah while the story structuring i can somewhat remember is an improvement the combat, which is a huge component, has been very different, which leads to extreme opinions about the game
Yes totally different. Inquisition was basically a party based ubisoft game with 0/10 combat. You pretty much never had to care what your squad was doing. You could auto level everyone and take whoever you wanted with you on any mission. Required no thought and synergy.
Story and Gameplay should not be mutually exclusive as both require skill and loyalty to the theme and tone of the game. This game trailer says it all and now they’re lying and backtracking. No offense but this video seems like a case of gaslighting for me. No matter how much you dress it up or explain it a turd is a turd.
I felt whiplash going from DAO to DA2 then DAI because of how dramatically different they each felt. I though played them back to back since I started DAO in 2017, so differences were more noticeable.
When I, a player and a real human being, am more pissed off by the destruction of Bianca than the fictional character who named it after his lifelong love, I question the "well written story..." So far this game is a hard pass for me...
Varric will die, Solas either trapped or will die as well. That is what their best writer can come up with, by following the cyberpunk train of killing off a beloved character at the beginning to act like they know drama.
He's tearing the veil ffs. Of course he would do that! He does value his friends but if Varric physically tried to stop him, he'd would surely been turned to stone. Solas has always been a maquiavelan guy when it comes to the restauration of the old world.
@@enightc Point is, I'm not opposed to anything you just said on principle, it just needs to serve the story. I'm not upset by the destruction of Bianca but by Varric's reaction, or lack thereof... he doesn't even acknowledge it happening. You don't want to interrupt the ritual but talk to him? Fine (then I question why are the others trying to topple the statue, wouldn't it interrupt the ritual abruptly?... Anyway...) but have a reaction ffs... The gameplay reveal to me was at best a complete lore failure and at worst a retcon (speculation on my part, which is why I said "at worst").
@@ITAmichwhat do mean he doesn't react? Dude looks horrified and defenseless.
@@AStrangeWindmillthe VA is terrible in that scene as well as the writing, and the music was bland. I know that Dragon Age can be janky and corny, but not during pivotal scenes. Dragon Age Inquisition intro was way more epic and engaging.
I'm generous enough to compare Dave with the last good BioWare game rather than go way back to their best. And this game isn't even a sequel to that with what's revealed so far.
No tactic combat, no strategy, no party control: not a Dragon Age game.
literally none of that is a defining feature of dragn age .... i dont need any of that nobody engaged with those systems anyways outside of meme playthroughs
Imagine having gameplay in trailers... what a novel idea, suddenly you would not need to try to re-explain and reset expectations about your goddamn product. The whole summer fest was such a disappointment. So many trailers that told you nothing about the actual game.
Until you see the gameplay, I haven't seen the trailer, but can't be much worse then the gameplay.
That trailer wasn't meant to show gameplay though. It was a stylized introduction of characters. Not like this was a novel event.
@@iyaramonk you mean the horrible gameplay in a gameplay trailer doesn't mean the gameplay is horrible because the point was to show characters? Interesting mental gymnastics there.
@@iyaramonk What is a trailer supposed to do then? Have you ever seen a movie trailer with no relation to the movie? Have you ever seen a commercial even, that would not show the product? Imo, a videogame trailer with 0 gameplay is a great way to show you are not confident in your product, and have to hide it behind a cg animation.
@@pewpin1039 Yes all the time.
Only saw the trailer and genuinely thought they were making some co-op hero-based action game in the Dragon Age universe. Had no idea this was Dragon Age 4 or even an RPG.
As a hardcore DA fan. In my eyes, This is not an Dragon Age game, and it never will be. And I will be skipping it. And also there is too much pandering to the "modern audience" as they like to call them.
Personally I think this will end BioWare as a company.
I miss the gritty dark fantasy that Dragon Age used to be. This one has neon lights and flying castle rings that look like space ships....ugh
Dragon Age Mass Effect is something I absolutely do not want.
I do.
It's not even based on the good Mass Effect games. They are taking everything from ME: Andromeda which is a laughably awful game.
@@TheLowlifeXssassin Andromeda was bad because of story, dialogue and characters, it's combat is the one thing that is consistently praised.
And I think this game has potential for even better combat.
@@Zoggwogg consistently praised on being slightly above dogshit in comparison to everything else in the game. It's combat was still a step back from the previous games with a dumb jumping mechanic, pause menu issues during combat, awful squad mate AIs, weapons having way less impact with bull sponge enemies, and many more issues. It was average at best.
@@TheLowlifeXssassin it was praised as being the best in the series but go off chief.
I’m not angry anymore just disappointed and sad.
I was disappointed before the trailers. Now im angry.
I really dislike how people say! it's the best selling game in the series! Yeah not because it is better but because more reignition and the EVER increasing base of gamers. Dragon Age Orgins is a far superior game to the newest games. Inquistion is decent mind.
But most fans of the series came in and enjoyed DA:I for what it was. Like the point of mentioning that it's the best selling game of the series is because that demonstrates that's the dragon age most people know. Whether or not Origins was the better game doesn't really matter when it's not the game that most coming back or into the series end up comparing it to. Inquisition and BG3, hell Divinity, are far more likely to be compared and those games are for removed from Origins as well.
Not gonna lie.
I had more fun with Inquisition than Origins. I know that must make me look like the slack-jawed monkey brain most follk would say I am for it. But as someone who both valued character and the world as much as I valued gameplay, moment to moment? Inquisition did more for me.
Veilguard for me though falls under both, and II as well. I'm still gonna check it out to see what it is. But I am not of strong faith that it will do anything as good as it's predecessors.
Personally my favorite is Inquisitions, I just love the large open world sandbox, of it... However I consider both DA:I and DA:O to be among the top 10 RPG's of all time Origin's is a seriously great game!!! That I totally loved for many different reasons but for me Inquisitions is just slightly better.... However whatever this Veil guard is, well its too flashy, too fast paced, too stream lined, the game play doesn't interest me, and on top of that everything feels on rails it feels like we have lost the big open world from what footage I have seen... But ultimately the biggest gripe I have is the companions! No Morrigan, No Casandra, No Liliana, No Aveline, No Dorian, No Alistar, No Iron Bull.... All we get is a Varick during the intro and Scout Harding? To Pass the torch? Leaving us with a bunch of horribly over the top and silly and not interesting companions literally straight from a comic book none of actually read or cared about... We went from a game where choosing who to romance was a tough choice to a game where their is NO one to actually romance?!?
@@FentySeroquelThe gameplay was 0/10 though. Worst combat in a rpg I've ever experienced. Skills and party members were totally pointless. Good story, yes, once you eventually left the hinterlands. The ubosoftification of that game and Andromeda really annoyed me.
@@FentySeroquel Inquisition was a really bad Dragon Age game compared to what Origins could offer. If you have more fun with a mmo-esque rpg with such bad writting and lazy game development, okay. That's your right. But Origins was and is still the best DA ever made.
I'd be shocked if this game is better than average at best. Something about it screams built by committee for mass appeal.
I can’t even begin to comprehend what a shitshow it must be over at EA BioWare. This isn’t my Dragon Age and I was a day 1 Origins fan. Be it the writing, the visual style, the switch to ARPG combat, or the gameplay reveal this is a no from me. I hope the franchise just dies at this point, this is a different game with the brand smacked on anyway.
I mean, something's wrong when I don't even see a companion I want to romance lol
Harding. I want Harding. They blue balled me by only letting me flirt with her a handful of times in Inquisition
Agreed-
Davrin- Not really my style. I'm not above romancing males, but it's not my first choice.
Taash- I really can't even tell if this is supposed to be a male or female. all I can say for sure is they/ them are qunari.
Harding- Kinda hoping for someone... taller.
Lucanis- See comments for Davrin.
Bellara- It's like they went out of their way to make her outfit as unflattering as possible
Emmrich- Fuck no.
Neve- Same as Bellara, only with a prosthetic leg and a stupid hat.
@@sixgunsuperman Look in Kingsman there is a prothestic legs girl and she's hot af. But Bioware acquired the super power to make every character ugly now I guess
Yeah they all look like those reddit poly group hog photos
Even after the gameplay trailer this looks like something I'll get on a steam sale for under £10 in 5 years time, play for a weekend and forget about.
When I saw The Veilguard trailer I thought it was going to be a multiplayer spinoff of Dreadwolf. That's the tone the Marketing set with that trailer.
I hated the reveal. I disliked the gameplay.
I'm not hopeful.
I hated the gameplay too. 20 mins of video only had 5 mins of "gameplay" and that was limited to either pressing forward to follow Varric on rails, or hammering the same button repeatedly until all the demons are dead. I'm out.
Unfortunately, we also have gameplay footage that speaks to how bad the new DA is. It mirrors the awful trailer. It is a bad game, it will fail, and Bioware can finally go financially bankrupt in the same way they have gone creatively bankrupt.
BioBeware
One of my favorite things about this fiasco is that in random channels of TH-camrs are bots deployed by EA or someone who is a fan of them being supportive no matter how negative the comment is. where one person will say “this trailer doesn’t look very good“, the bot will reply. Just check out the gameplay reveal!
That dragon age origins trailer still rocks.
I really ejoyed origins. 2 was ok but i couldnt get into inquisition. Ive enjoyed each entry less and after what theyve shown i dont think im in the target audience anymore.
If it comes out and is a big hit i might give it a shot.
Its what made me buy the game. I had just got a PS3 and didnt know of any games for it. I saw that trailer and went too the store and bought it that day.
That Origins trailer kicks fucking ass and if they showed something like that people would have loved it, that is just a fact. Seriously, it's called 'Get ready for the new shit'. Based. Ah, it absolutely is Dragon Age Origins. You know, the game where I could have sex with a demon by sacrificing a child achieved by killing a mother using blood magic to 'save' her son. Or where you desecrate a holy site and kill one of your companions to unlock a spec. Or that time you went into the deeproads to find a dwarf only to find that she basically sacrificed her followers to darkspawn, which one was turned into a Brood mother, look it up, with several sets of titties. That game was quite literally marketed towards me, a teenager at the time and it was awesome. Imagine if Bioware showed off a Dragon Age game inspired by the beloved Origins, wouldn't that be a thing. Maybe if BG3 release years earlier and won GOTY years earlier, things might have been different.
Man whatever. That Marilyn Manson trailer was on point showing what DA:O was all about. Blood, death, and war. 10x better than what we got with The Veilguard.
Ehh, still stupid. Atleast the tone sorta match the target demographic. Now its like gas lighting us.
this is the truth
The trailer made me feel like Veilguard was going to be a Borderlands-esque action shooter and so wildly not at all what I expected. The gameplay reveal at least looked alright.
18:30 Companions focus game: Only allow 2 companions to accompany you, rather than 3 from previous game.
and you can't control them anymore, you don't even see them as the focus is completely on the mc
Yeah. This is just infuriating. You don't "focus" on something by having less of it and only showing it on screen in cutscenes.
i looked at the gameplay and was out.
…then why did you play inquisition?
@@Hidalgoes Inquisition was not an action game. Yes, the combat was more action oriented than Origins, but it was still RTwP at its core.
This is not. This is all-out action gameplay - which is perfectly fine in other franchises that are built this way, but this is Dragon Age. And Dragon Age must not become an action game.
@@Moon222 thats fair but was that really a huge part of how most people played inquisition? I'm sure developers have some degree of analytics available to them-if they showed that the avg player was really using it for most fights don't you think they would've kept it? Like yea combat wise Origins was the most satisfying for me personally, but I don't buy if you just told someone who's a fan of all 3 games and looking forward to 4 that hey combat this time is going to have more of a resemblance to mass effect- that anyone would have a real objection to that. that trailer just turned everyone into a hate mob
@@HidalgoesI didn’t play for long. It got far too boring.
you mean the game that made me loose faith in bioware as a company?
I dont know, maybe im the only one but the "Violence-Trailer" is legit the best Origins Trailer in my opinion. Sets the tone quite right xD
Origins was marketed as a single player Dark Fantasy with story in every single trailer.
And the main complaint for the game before launch boiled down to "why make this instead of BG3" Which ironically some people are basically saying now having hoped for a return to the more hybrid action/crpg of Origins.
The blur trailers (Not shown in this video) are representations of your character. One showing team work with companions in combat and the other your chars purpose in the story.
The metal music that pops up in many of the trailers certainty isn't indicative of the game. But is mostly used for intro/end cards and overlaying scenes/gameplay in the game.
This is what happens when companies chase trends. Like CA and Hyenas games just take too long to make for it to work. The focus should be on making the best possible game whatever that is like Larian did with BG3. Quality sells all on its own.
the end made me laugh so much....Dragon Age: Border Control
Demons and darkspawn look absolutely miserable
I was introduced into Dragon Age with Origins (and it's DLC) and absolutely loved it, only played DA 2 a little but never finished it and played Inquistion and DLC. Out of all the games, I really liked Origin and how that plays. I already resigned myself that we wont get an Origns style story or gameplay since i knew over the years that the people who worked on Origins have long since left. I see Veilguard, just glanced at it and moved on. If ME: Andromeda was anything to go by, I'll pass on by and wait to hear what people think of it
…none of the companions are appealing to me like the previous games so that breaks it for me
Dude that game looks like it never grew out of 2015 and kept all the cringe
didn't the origins trailer have an electric guitar playing for most of it? I think its just a trait of the series.
@@tyo9954 Except Origins is actually good
@@tyo9954 Screamo music I believe they called it
@@tyo9954 It was Marylin Manson LOL
The gameplay trailer was trash too. They don't have the people to make a game like Origins anymore. All the talent left, starting with Brent Knowles. That's the dude we owe Origins to.
If there IS a new take it means it's no longer in the old style.
It is with full shame in my heart that I will disclose the fact that I loved the DA:O trailer with the metal song, lol
DA2, inquisiton and veilguard are all hack/slash fast paced combat, everybody loved origins. BG3 gave us that gameplay, they dropped the most generic gameplay, bad writing and bad voice acting with a dreadful trailer and they're surprised its flopping
DA2 pass the "vibe check". This fortinite spinoff does not...
DA2 and Inquisition still had tactical element and direct control, Dave is just some weird Arkham + MMO + Mass Effect remix.
@@grandsome1 DA2 had the best tactics of the series. DA:I was gutted with a very simple version that was unresponsive and jank at the best of times.
My biggest hangup is that I'm not exactly gelling with the looks of the companions. They don't really impress or interest me. But maybe that's just me being an old fogie, being in my fourties now.
It's not just you. They all look terrible, except for maybe Harding. Even Sera from Inq had a better design than all of them and she was the worst companion of the bunch (outside of combat, since she was busted as hell during it).
Thankfully, bioware saved me $80 with their multiple reveals.
Same.
I am NOT going to waste my time and money on this turd.
same
Good for you, why are you watching this video then? It's not agreeing with your opinion and giving things a discussion, clearly you want to go back to the echo chamber.
@@AlexWaffor! I watched the video but still don’t want to buy the game.
Not changing my opinion doesn’t mean I want an echo chamber; it means no one made a good argument for me to change my mind.
@@frostmagemarii Fair, but negative comments and doomposting is not productive for anybody, imo. TH-camrs clickbait with crazy exaggerated negative titles, people go comment "yeah that sucks, I hate it" and the cycle continues. Sometimes I feel games should not advertise at all until they're already releasing, because with this climate, even if it's the best game ever made it won't have a good reputation until it's 10 years old and people get nostalgic, like with Origins.
Why would i want to play a fantasy mass effect? I don't want a fantasy mass effect i want dragon age
I don't like Mass Effect so this, right here, was the killing point for me.
Inquisition selling so well meant this was inevitable.
@michaelh878
Inquisition was nothing like mass effect though…
It was a bloated open world that still used RTWP and let you completely control your companions and on higher difficulties needed the more tactical approach that RTWP afforded.
Mass effect was a linear cover shooter…
@@Cliffy1616 Have you forgotten about Mass Effect:Andromeda?
@@michaelh878 no? Mass effect Andromeda is not a dragon Age.
It might have been open world unlike previous mass effect titles, but the gameplay was still 3rd person and still acted as a cover shooter.
Inquistion aside from being open world played nothing like it. And not only that Andromeda is widely considered one of BioWares WORST games and only managed to sell at all due to the Mass effect brand.
But bringing up Andromeda is a good point. Because this new Dragon Age’s gameplay is clearly being modelled after Andromeda as well as Mass effect in general. Which is not what people want in a Dragon Age game.
I would argue that the Dragon Age series lost its direction after Origins.
When I saw the trailer, I thought it was a multiplayer hero game like Overwatch to stopgap until Dragon Age 4 Dreadwolf arrives.
why tf did they change the way the darkspawn look and the pride demon doesn’t even look like a demon anymore 🤦🏽♂️that’s my only complaints
Really, cause i can insulate my house with the length of my peeves.
"long running, sorta nonsensical gag"
"Enchantment"
You fucking dare? Apologize right now.
"I don't think the playability of action combat is necessarily a bad thing.. I mean look, action combat's really fun!"
Man, Bellular... I used to enjoy your content. But you are exactly what's wrong with this industry. "Lets make it more accessible by making it action combat," stripping the game of any personality and features it originally had. A game made for everyone, is a game made for no one.
Dragon Age: Fortnite Edition
DA2 is a pretty good game for how short its development was lol
Very different to origin but good in its own right. Can't say the same for inquisition. Most boring combat and skills.
@@michaelh878 I liked DA2, and DA:I wasn't that bad imo. It's just that the grinding is way overturned. It takes so long to actually get good stuff lol
The DLC is also incredibly good. People need to look past the same tired complaint about the environments. The characters and stories are all great.
@@SuicidalBabyTTV are they really, though? Do we need to go over the Anders thing again? (Makes me angry just thinking about it). Do we need to talk about the final boss fight, where the chief mage said "I'm so angry that you're falsely accusing me of studying blood magic, that I'm going to use the blood magic I've been studying to kill you, so you never accuse me of studying blood magic again"? Do we need to remind ourselves of how the story set part one of the game on one side of a harbour begging the guards to let your party go to the other side of the harbour, when any of the characters could have just... gone to the other side of the harbour at any time? Do we need to mention that all the character interaction was pointless, and as long as you consistently chose either the "angry face" option or the "smiley face / heart" option you'd end up in exactly the same place in the relationship, including romance? I could go on for a while, but I won't. DA2 was... pretty bad. And not just because you spent the whole game in one small town. Characters and stories were pretty bad too. Not terrible. I remember it, so it can't have been terrible. But it was pretty bad.
Can you think of another studio that 'struggled' so much with an engine? Three games in different states at launch and they are still having issues apparently. A fool blames his tools. A multi-billion company should have more options.
but... why not just switch the engine to one that would suit their kind of game more ? They're like the only ones blaming the engine for the bad state of their game out there. They always have excuses for everything actually. It's never their fault.
If you want to show off RPG gameplay, why show a demo where all characters are level 1?
It's like the game was made by juniors with no supervision and expertise
Why even bother making unique companions if you can't directly control them. Yo that Origins trailer was metal af!
You don't control them in Mass Effect. And they have great unique companions
@@Etheral101 True, but that's another franchise and was built that way.
It is NOT what people want and expect from Dragon Age though!
Think about it that way: What would fans of Souls games or FPS say if these games where party based RPGs with turn based (or at least RTwP) combat all of a sudden? You think they would be happy about such a change? Of course not, they would be outraged and rightfully so. This is the exact same thing.
I've never controlled my companions. Even in origins and The Awakening DLC. I just let my companions do what they want cuz I like the feel of multiplayer without actually having to join other people. I understand it's a gameplay feature that people really enjoy but it being fully removed doesn't really bother me to much. I did dabble with it in Inquisition though
@@kingmiklo4143The whole selling point of Biowares games was about choice. Making the character you want, choosing the choices you want, playing the combat the way you want. Even, if a lot of ppl didn't choose to use companions. Not having the choice to use them just feels lazy and a departure on Biowares part. Makes having companions feel less important.
@@ZeroFamilon I agree. Not arguing with that
I might get it eventually when it’s in the 10-20 dollar range, which is probably gonna be pretty soon after release. 😅
I'm not against progressing a franchise at all. You need progression to keep things interesting. It just feels like this type of "progression" is very superficial. The tone of the game and the personality of the characters don't seem to fit this Universe in which they are in. A universe that has been already established. Seems like suits in a boardroom not understanding or caring for their franchise while wanting the money that Overwatch or Fortnite makes by appealing to the gamers who play those instead of appealing to those people who made you your money in the first place.
No, you are completely right. This game has a major identity crisis. It looks like fortnight the skill trees are nothing to do with dragon age other than the main skills. It doesn’t even have the classes other than champion and like one other had to make their own stuff make their own ideas manipulate the lore ignore the main content of the entire series all the classes all the fighting styles. There’s no chantry there’s no Templars there’s no berserkers there’s no blood mage. There’s no spirit healers there’s no guardians. There’s nothing this game even an open world section section. They ignored the elf mirrors supposedly be very, very rare and they put them everywhere for convenience. They took some characters from a few of the games and that’s probably the only thing that’s dragon age like everything else even the art is way too colorful way too not dragon age, dragon age. Art is usually dark Grimmy and gritty. It’s one of the greatest things about the series. They ignored all the factions there are like 40 factions. in dragon age, and they don’t have a single faction that you can be a part of at the beginning of the game other than the death, mages and the wardens they ignored every other faction and decided just to make up some random weird, odd, crazy factions that never existed as far as I’m concerned. I was just name 10 factions they missed the chantry which concludes Templars secrets of truth and more they missed the kingdom individually being involved so every single continent has its own faction. Oh wait they do have the antifa crows. I forgot that ones so they got that one. What circle? What about any dwarf factions what about all the factions that are directly related to each continent? I mean there’s more and more factions I just chat right now. I’m kind of frustrated with this game. It looks like a fortnight mixed game with like three other games with a little bit of dragon sprinkled on top.
This is why I don’t preorder games anymore, it’s why I don’t trust the big AAA studios. All these huge studios are too big, they don’t allow for developers to try new things and they just focus on making games look visually appealing, while ignoring all the other aspects that make a good game. Thank you for listening to my rant
The lesser problem I have with this trailer is Varric.
He looks like he is about to recruit 12 other dwarves, a hobbit burglar and wizard to go reclaim his kingdom under the Lonely Mountain.
