Why Do People HATE this game? Dragon Age: The Veilguard on Ryzen 5 3600 & RX 580

[@Gameplayicu]

If you have some free time, write down why people hate this game, I’d love to read your opinions 👇

[@theemeraldwatcher8829]

Because cringy loser internet trolls and people who can't just get over Dragon Age Origins just want something to hate on. It's stupidity at it's finest, they don't like it and are trying to force other people to hate it too. There is never a single game that's catered to literally everyone, that's just life. I personally thought DAO sucked for a lot of reasons, but I don't go out of my way to rant about it or shove my personal tastes down other's throats.

[@Gameplayicu]

Yep, there are a lot of parrot-like haters who don't even know the difference between the old and new Dragon Age, they just heard a few things that are "supposed to be hated," so they "hate" it, but it's not even based on their own experience.

[@PBGPapaBear]

I think i am going to enjoy because i enjoy all the other DA games. I dont want to be a hardcore gamer because then i would have these high expectations that ruin the gaming experience for me.

[@KwadDamyj]

Haven't bought anything from Bioware since Andromeda, isn't that good enough reason for me?

[@Gameplayicu]

Uh, Andromeda was really a big disappointment after the Mass Effect trilogy

[@Funtasters]

I know that the old game also had a woke agenda, but it wasn't as massive, it didn't seem forced and it wasn't displayed explicitly. But for today's games, developers are aggressively promoting the woke agenda massively, an agenda that seems forced into the game, and displays it explicitly. So maybe that's what makes people hate it, because there are some games that have bad gameplay, story, etc., because the developers are only busy putting their agendas in the game, without paying attention to other things.

[@Gameplayicu]

In my personal opinion, the game is not as bad as people say, and most importantly, it's not "unoptimized" as they claim. Also, I find most of the other criticisms to be exaggerated. This game is an action RPG with romantic elements and free choice, similar to the older Dragon Age series, which had a darker atmosphere. This one is friendlier and more fairy-tale-like, but I like it.

[@Funtasters]

@Gameplayicu Yes, actually this game is not bad in terms of gameplay, it's pretty good.

[@noncompulsoryl]

I don't hate, I just have no interest in it. After 8 years of development, with a big team and a massive budget from a dev team/Studio that has everything to prove after their last couple of games....Making a passable action RPG with very little in the way of choice and consequence, as a sequel to a notoriously choice driven RPG is simply a massive disappointment to me personally. There are many other things about this which convinced me not to play this game, but as someone who's really enjoyed the Dragon Age franchise, this is simply not the type of game I was hoping for. To everyone having a blast playing this though, have fun!

[@Gameplayicu]

I defended this game a bit and got attacked for it. I'm glad there are people like you who can write thoughtfully and take a stand.

[@CamaVinga-eh3ex]

I think the reason is the cutscenes

[@Gameplayicu]

I think the cutscenes and the voice acting are fine

[@CamaVinga-eh3ex]

@Gameplayicu no im mean it has to much cutscenes and its not optimize

[@Ciffer-1998]

​@@CamaVinga-eh3exhaving to much cutscenes istnt the problem its just that it dosnt feel like a Dragon Age also the game is one of the best optimised games of this year

[@Gameplayicu]

@@Ciffer-1998 Plus, all of them were skippable (which is quite rare nowdays)

[@benjaminpaloczi2707]

@@Gameplayicu because you sucks ass you loser

[@SlimN0ir-uf7hw]

its a unoptimized woke game

[@Gameplayicu]

I don't think there is an issue with its optimization; it runs at 30-35 fps on mid-high settings with an RX 580, while the official system requirements are 'RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700XT.

[@Gameplayicu]

BioWare RPG games have always provided players with a great deal of freedom...

[@Ciffer-1998]

Unoptimised? Thats like the only good thing about this game that people praise, the thing that its so well optimised

[@Gameplayicu]

@@Ciffer-1998 Yeah, and the combat system is seriously badass (animations look incredibly good) something you don’t often see in action-RPG games.

[@eikibw]

The woke crowd is always so loud and more annoying than the sjw, even without an actual argument.

[@RhCp0212]

Woke and DEI game: push a specific agenda. The same happened with Dustborn, Concord, etc etc. (the web "DEIDetected" document games that implement DEI ideology).

[@Gameplayicu]

But BioWare games (even 2000s) have always been about letting you be whoever you want.

[@RhCp0212]

​@@Gameplayicu Come on man, you know what i'm talking about ...

[@Lock2002ful]

@@Gameplayicu But they don’t let you be anyone you want anymore in this game. You cannot be evil or anything. There is next to no role playing here. That is unheard of from Bioware. The fighting system and the enemies are lame as well.

[@Gameplayicu]

@@Lock2002ful If you want to be evil, play Fable (2004); you can even marry a male character (if you want) or have a wife (the choice is yours). Back then, games like that were loved and are still seen as classics today. edit: I’d be curious to see what would happen if this game were released in this era.. 😑

[@Lock2002ful]

@@Gameplayicu Why should I need to play a game from 20 years ago if I want to be evil? Baldur’s Gate 3 did literally everything better than the Veilguard AND you cannot be as gay and trans, good and evil as you want. It was released last year to not only critical acclaim but players loved it. The difference? Good writing, good story, good gameplay and most importantly choice. You can choose what to be and how to play. Veilguard fails in every aspect as a rpg. It’s the Mc Donalds equivalent of food. Anyone who say that the game is good is either extremely weird or has never played any other rpg before. So don’t make this about “What if game x was released today” when we just had BG3 last year. Veilguard is garbage and the only reason gamezines and reviewers aren’t giving it low scores is because of their so called “woke” bias.

[@DaarLordBeerus]

😨 is it available for console?

[@Gameplayicu]

Yes, PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S

[@Gameplayicu]

If you don't want to buy it at full price, you can play it with EA Play Pro, and then you'll be able to play more games. The holidays are coming, so it'll probably be cheaper again (it costs about as much as a coffee)

[@DaarLordBeerus]

@@Gameplayicu I appreciate it bruh....am definitely adding it to my bucketlist😁...

[@XxSoul_KillerxX]

Dragon Age Wokeguard

[@Gameplayicu]

I'm old enough to know what BioWare games are like, and this game is a 'classic' one.

[@zackrider5942]

Steam or epic Paid or free

[@Gameplayicu]

I didn’t buy the game; I’m playing it with an EA Play Pro subscription, which means that as long as I pay for their service, I can play all EA games! 😋

[@Gameplayicu]

It’s like Xbox Game Pass (don’t be misled by the name; you can play on PC too), Ubisoft+ Game Subscription-now everyone has their own service like this

[@zackrider5942]

@ only EA game

[@Gameplayicu]

@@zackrider5942 Yep, only EA game

[@Gameplayicu]

@@zackrider5942 EA Play also includes Codemasters games since EA acquired them, so it includes Dirt, F1, and Grid games as well.
