Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Bulo]

I get that the devs wanted to prioritize ranged combat, but in that case why not nudge warriors in the direction of carrying a bow or crossbow?

I've wanted something like for ages, a DA game in which every class is multi-role. Soldiers use crossbows and swords, rogues use bows and daggers, mages use magic and... anything, because they're mages. You can thump someone over the head with your staff, or summon a disembodied fist to do it for you. Great party potential there

I can't tell if he's full-blown shilling for EA

That's just it.
You would be surprised at the sheer amount of shilling done by youtuber "content creators" for Triple A garbage.
Not even supposedly more "oldschool" reviewers such as Gmanlives are immune to this phenomenon.

Trannies are trying to cancel him btw, lmao
Apparently someone said 'a friend' hated the game because it was woke and posted tweets mocking faggs, etc. Now troons have discovered that the footage he was using was from this dude's review.

What a colossal faggot lmao, imagine defending a corp

 

[Sarkile]

Back on topic: Those Veilguard videos are lmao-tier. I can't believe that the primary warrior mechanic is shield throwing. What estrogen-and-dutasteride-addled genius came up with that idea, and have they ever held a shield? Do they understand that shields are not boomerangs? I get that the devs wanted to prioritize ranged combat, but in that case why not nudge warriors in the direction of carrying a bow or crossbow? Or fuck it, just give them a gooddamn boomerang, like the Legend of Zelda did ~40 years ago. Surely they could even come up with a compelling lore reason for it.

Can you really imagine a melee combatant being expected to engage in combat at range without throwing away their shield? What would we name such a mythical technology, javelin?

google hasn't managed to shut down the algorithm yet, if you type in "da veilguard" in youtube search all the top results are the videos shitting on the game lmao

Btw its pretty interesting how this game has less than 50 reviews on Opencritic and Meta so far. That means EA was really stingy with review codes. A release of that size should have double or even triple the amount of reviews on release.

There's no way the game can maintain a 80+ if it hits 100 reviews, it's going down under 80 and it's going to be stuck with the piss yellow color on Metacritic and trannies are going to cry that chuds have done an economic terrorism by not buying the game.

 

[babayaga]

Wait. I understand this game's title now.

They want to guard what's under the veil.

:mindblown:

There are fags and trannies under the veil

 

[Larianshill]

Troons will see nothing wrong with it, because from their perspective, they were always women.

 

[Pink Eye]

inXile twitter account has been going crazy putting out super passive-aggressive messages supporting Veilguard and dunking on chuds.

It confounds the senses that this is the game these dumbfucks are going to bat for; it's neither a mediocre RPG, nor an average action game, it is below average, unfitting of anything higher than 4s. Veilguard is in the echelons of Daikatana, Ride to Hell: Retribution, Hunt Down the Freeman, etc. It's self evident to anyone with two eyeballs and a singular brain cell to rub together. I find it unbelievable that this is the hill that people are choosing to die over. I need to sit down and do some sleuthing on all those reviews that gave the game 100s, 10/10s, and "masterpiece" proclamations. Really interested to see just how deep these connections go, besides just ideological of course. If anyone remembers back in the day one of the highest rated user score for Dragon Age 2 turned out to be by a developer, see:

Spoiler

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Man the real fallout hasn't even started. It's going to be a catastrophe on release day. Heads will roll. There might even be investor pressure to get EA to do something depending on how this plays out, read: Bioware closing down, trannies getting fired, etc.

 

[Old Hans]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I have it on good authority that Centcom is unleashing its sock puppet accounts to counter the Russian attack on Veilguard. Make no mistake this is the beginning of world war 3

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

i need to know

do any of them at any point say "your name is rook, but it turns out you're just a pawn in someone else's game"?

that would be the cherry on top

 

[quixotic]

The MC’s called Rook because the game is linear.

2024: Veilguard results in Bioware's demise in a bog of top-surgery scars and Californian infantilism
