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.
You calling people morons over and over is fine without providing any insight into the game?

Prologue->ACT2 as I be hungry (also, if you can nab a discount and just say eat home instead of outside, hey, sure, why not);
ME:A "action" been there, done that, shotguns to face after jetpack bionic is infinitely more enjoyable than jump stab and spin a bit to kick up black smoke. Rogue is boring, insta regret.
Solas is still "whiny bitch boy wished he had hair" throwing a tantrum, use your words boy.
I take offence to "your inquisitor was bland human female" in set up. No bitch, it was the specific Qun of giving people gas reflux to offset bland water and hops, when that failed, since Solas is still a whiny bitch boy that wished he had hair, Gas bringing Fade touched Fanta (adding orange, just a slight difference such as being on Thedas and being in the Fade) is not a goddamn bland human female. This is the Qun, respect it.
3.5/10 thus far
Music is samey, just there, ooh suspense is very suspensful and you can use a harp, congrats.
Voice is nice but dialogue is basic trash "oh no, Blight is very Blighted, let's remove the Blight. Blight.", "we losyt touch with this place, so we sent people to lose touch with them also, but what if we send you...." basic, just said with actual emotion cause you liked being paid to read it.
As above, ME:A did fights better, also guard breaking is broken and you can glitch the AI very easily. Ring around a pedestal you stupid darkspawn... oh so this is your boundary, ok let's reset and have a running competition....
I've also already spoken nicely to the mage, and then picked her so she can have multiple brusies over her face because brain damage in cutscenes is super important apparently. Hopefully the next option can become a paraplegic I suppose so I can run this over for Kola to produce Gas and Gas might finally meet a normal person or get a Hernia for DA's eventual death....
Then when DA ends I can trot out the Sucker Punch line of "everyone had a lobotomy in the end since this is Thedas and why not use that medicine period as it's just a game WGAF".
And what are the chances that the Veil Jumpers are a nod to Foster Anderson? Their facial animation is weird and "I only move my mouth when I speak, my face has no other movement" that gave me deja vu.
