I guess the other 6 trillion action games released each year weren't enough. They had to kill the one and last cRPG. At least I have the indies for now... who needs diversity of genres in the big industry right? Why not make EVERY SINGLE THING action and simple so that the brainless generation can enjoy it right?

I don’t get why people are dunking on someone’s opinion, especially when they haven’t got their hands on the game. Yes, you can judge what you see from previews. But someone who went hands on with the game for 6 hours is definitely going to have a different opinion than you. Moreover, people are allowed to have different opinions and don’t always need to validate yours. Personally, I think the art style is serviceable. Likewise with the facial animations. But I’m very interested in controlling a single character in an action focused mission based game. Not every fantasy game needs to be open world like Baldurs Gate 3 or Witcher 3.

I wanna be super hyped but I'm so worried of how much they will carry forward from the previous games. DA: Inquisition was so epic on how much of the previous games it tracked and referred back to. Whereas...Veilguard has an excuse not to look back too much but there are key moments from the previous games I'm worried they might ignore for ease-of-design's sake. Honestly I'll prolly still give the game a try unless it absolutely bombs in the early reviews. I've liked every DA game so far and even played the TTRPG, just love the setting and all...but like, it's been a long time since DA:I & I'm so wary after seeing Bioware hit Mass Effect Andromeda and it was such a disappointment....it was an ok game, but just underperformed for me. So...here's hoping they blow me and everyone else away I guess.

[@sofajockeyUK]

The thing is, past events in Ferelden and Orlais are still valid, but there's not really a reason for them to come up. The Divine is called Divine Victoria, whoever is picked.

God do i miss Casey Hudson and the Bioware boys club it used to be... at least i own the classics physically. Star wars Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age Origins the Ultimate Edition, Dragon Age 2, and even Dragon Age Inquisition the Ultimate edition... im sad to see this company go but its been gone long ago.

[@TIDbitRETRO]

I don’t wanna piss in the Cheerios of anyone who’s looking forward to this game, but it was stuck in development hell for forever and it shows. Dragon Age Origins is still the only good entry.

[@GameTimeWhy]

I like 1 best, 2 second. I wish they would make a third game before making a fourth.

[@purefoldnz3070]

Inquisition was still good but the first one is the best

[@charoleawood]

how did your comment get a heart?

[@sonicmania9993]

Wtf, these Cheerios taste disgusting... The other entries were also good, by the way. Just different, so not to every Origins fan's taste. Not so unusual in multi-game series of course.

GOTY debates are always premature until we reach December with a slate of played games to consider. I can't say I'm that fussed what ends up GOTY, but if Veilguard is a contender, that will be plenty for them having done a good job.

[@MrDay53]

I'm hoping for Stalker 2 to win goty, but Wukong would also be deserving of the award.

@@Pawnband Yeah, Origins is a stone cold classic. Its weird that games journalists are calling this the best game ever but the fans and gamers are saying the opposite. Its insanity.

[@elissahe2377]

Origins wasn't the best mechanically. The combat sucked, the color pallet was awful too. Dragon age is about the story and a real fan would know that

[@antiHUMANDesigns]

Animations do _not_ look good. Also, is there a nearly constant vaseline/bloom filter across the entire screen? I get a distinct "Mass Effect: Andromeda" feeling about this... Also, still never buying a BioWare game again, after they fucked us with Anthem. Nope, I'm never forgetting that scam or the company resposnible for it.

Wow a lot of bots ahha, just see a weird name followed by 4 random numbers. Those are bots. Bioware and those false positive journos U will not win against the decisions makers of the industry.. The Gamers. As a dragon age player the fact U are deviating so much from the tone, the art style and the open world rpg elements is going to make this one another flop. This is going to be deleted but meh.

[@TheDon212]

This game is going to flop the way Concord did. This was Biowares last chance game and they ruined it, Sweet Baby inc ruins games and this game is heavily infested with there idiology This will not be game of the year Black Myth Wukong will win it. Don't believe me watch the low steam player count once Dragon age releases. If you want to make money DO NOT add irl politics in a FANTASY GAME!!!!! We are not Body types or They/Them/He/Them ect. I do not care what you believe in just keep it out of my games and don't force your crap on me.
