Multiplat Dragon Age: The Veilguard

That pesky Metaphor is too good - they move on quickly when they realise they can't point at a game's failure due to wokeness.

They backtracked and are trying to argue that Metaphor was never "woke", apparently fighting systematic racism, religious oppression and changing the country isn't woke but a few pronouns is. Peabrain stuff

I don't know whether to bite the bullet now on Series X, or wait until next year with my new PC.

I did the latter with Inquisition (when my now 9 year old PC was brand new and godlike), but played the first two on Xbox 360.

If you followed the dev cycle at all for many managers, one door, the PC version is technically the "port" of this game, which generally means tighter initial instance on console v PC, PC would just have the greater "exterior" support re mods, patches and such.

Culture wars in gaming needs to just **** off already... I am so, so tired of the toxicity.

Most of the user reviews which are giving it 10 have only reviewed one game, Dragon Age Veilguard. A lot of the other positive reviews are people saying the game is good, but bumping their score to 10 because of the negative reviews.

I also find it cringey that people are calling (those who don't like the game) influenced by grifters, when it's mainly fans who have spent time and money over the years playing Bioware games who are upset that the game has deviated almost completely from it's origins (excuse the pun). Maybe they should've created a new franchise rather than piggyback off the success of it's predecessors.

I find it cringey also - due to its hypocritical nature too - when reviewers who were not glowing of the game preview and had early access months ago, were not given access codes. Why? You only want good reviews? Interesting.

I personally was not critical of the game preview when I saw it, but given how ME3, Andromeda, and Anthem turned out, I had low expectations. The cartoony graphics didn't put me off like many. I've seen hours of gameplay now, the environments looks great, the character models I think are okay if only their faces showed more emotion. They had a similar issue with Andromeda.

I was happy to overlook these issues, if the game had good dialogue, choices, story, characters and setting. Unfortunately this is not case. The dialogue is jarring and badly written, and therefore the characters suffer because of it.

The combat is meh and feels like a light show rather than combat on each counter. There seems to be no weight or drama to them. Your companions have no health bar and can't die.

I can go on but at this point there's too much wrong with it too bother posting more. But I'm sure you'll point out how I'm triggered by over line of text about pronouns and push-ups and make that you're discussion point, which will just prove that you care more about that the stuff than the Dragon Age universe itself.

Morons gonna moron I guess. Fancy pointing out the favourable reviews as an issue when it is sitting at a 2.7...

Disappointing the mod team lets this shit fester.

Cope. Why aren't you playing the fan game? It's been out for two days. Glowing endorsement from you.

No one should buy games at launch, that's just common sense.
