Which of These 2024 RPGs Will Be The Biggest Trainwreck?

  • There's a surprising number of mainstream AAA RPGs releasing in 2024 (alongside some great indies).
    Unfortunately, it seems to be a quantity over quality situation. While there are likely going to be some great upcoming games such as Shadow of the Erdtree (Elden Ring DLC) & Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, we're also getting games like Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 & Dragon Age: The Veilguard which look absolutely middling at best. Avowed is probably somewhere in between the great and poor-quality games being released, but I'm also quite skeptical.
    The question is, will some of these games be as disappointing as they appear or will one or even all of them surprise us? The battle for the worst RPG of 2024 begins...

      dragon age will flop as hard... First the gameplay looks mediocre and the story will be probably bad...... Sweet Baby Inc. has had their feminist (misandrist) hands "contributing" to the game.
      Only one i have good deal of hope for is Avowed.

      This. It is already a Frankenstein-Project with dev studios changed and rebooting almost everything (story, characters, playable clans, the protagonist concept & background). Then there is the weird decision to put a thinblood voice into our head again, which will explain everything we see (bc gamers can*t think for themselves or are capable to come to their own conclusions). Worked perfectly well for Forsaken. And after hearing the devs say, that the Masquerade means to assume a role as a character, while it is actually the most important rule of vampire society, it is pretty obvious that they don*t even understand what VtmB actually is.

    My money's on Bloodlines 2 becoming the biggest flop. Outside of the graphics and combat it looks like a downgrade in every aspect overall compared to the first game from 20 years ago. Avowed may turn out to be decent, good even. But it's not going to be the BG3 of this year. I think the Veilguard will be mediocre at best. That's my prediction.

    • @RichardPhillips1066

    BioWare has a very small, very dedicated new fanbase that is willing to consume any DA or ME crumbs they're given but as you said, they need the normies and the old fans too and this game is not resonating with either of those groups. If they don't manage to show this game in a better light I doubt they'll do even decent money tbh. EA is not going to be pleased.
    I was keeping an eye for Avowed but the more they show the less interested I am, the character progression and the combat seem very simplistic and the whole project seems a lot smaller than they previously marketed. It might still be a solid 8 but I'm skeptical.
    Bloodlines is just going to be another disappointment for the fans waiting since the original and I don't see this game attracting any normie demographic either, if they don't get their fanbase that's it for that game.
    I don't know why this companies think all they have to do to achieve success is to throw more money on the graphics department (and even failing on that front in some cases) while downgrading many (or most) other aspects of the game compared to previous entries and making it more shallow and generic. It's pretty sad.

      Haven’t they worked on avowed for quite some time? It can’t be that small. Outer worlds style and size maybe. Agree with the graphics. They don’t matter that much. Deep RPG systems, player choice and emergent gameplay and multiple ways to solve quests are far more important.

    Dragon Age Veilguard is probably the sacrifice this year. Worst kind of development hell plus a team that doesn't seem to understand the series and the audience.
    AC Shadows is likely to be a dud given Ubisoft's recent history and that it's made by the worst of the main teams. Not to mention the numerous issues just from the marketing.
    Avowed will probably be the most difficult to gage before release, we don't know enough and likely will never know enough to really understand what they are trying to do and that will likely be the problem. They don't seem to have a focus.
    Kingdom Come 2 will probably be great, maybe some performance and technical issues.
    And Bloodlines 2... I think it'll die a silent death. Not much to say given it doesn't seem to be much of an RPG.

    As a massive dragon age fan, I completely agree with you when it comes to that company. As a fan, I expect a good game and will not support this game if it flops. We didn't wait this long for them to deliver us a crap product. It baffles me that there are dragon age "fans" that will accept anything bioware throws at them. Bioware hasn't made anything good in years and I will NOT become a bioware apologist just because they gave us a new game. Bioware NEEDS this game to succeed or else there's a very good chance this studio might close.

    After watching this video, all I could think of was the Judge's song from Trial by Jury. Avowed is the elderly ugly daughter.
    JUDGE. In Westminster Hall I danced a dance,
    like a semi-despondent fury;
    For I thought I never should hit on a chance
    Of addressing a British Jury--
    But I soon got tired of third-class journeys,
    And dinners of bread and water;
    So I fell in love with a rich attorney's
    Elderly, ugly daughter.
    CHORUS. So he fell in love with a rich attorney's elderly, ugly daughter.
    JUDGE. The rich attorney, he jumped with joy,
    And replied to my fond professions:
    "You shall reap the reward of your pluck, my boy,
    At the Bailey and Middlesex sessions.
    You'll soon get used to her looks," said he,
    "And a very nice girl you will find her!
    She may very well pass for forty-three
    In the dusk, with a light behind her!

    And honestly, I am happy about it too. The more money they lose to this poitless pandering to 0.1% of the population, the more studios get shut down and others rise by talented people who lost their jobs to some DEI corporate extortionist. The real talent leaves, creates their own studio and we get an incredible game while the DEI garbage gets shut down. This is what has happened to the witcher team after their DEI announcement, same with the original talent thar worked on Mass Effect and so many others. So, it is a win-win for all. It will be sad to see Bioware go as I have loved all their games all throughout my childhood. But it is no longer Bioware. It is a husk of its former self. So I have to let it go 😢

    Dragon Age Veilguard is basically a RESKIN of Mass Effect Andromeda (well: The combat system is! Hell, they dumbed it down even further! They got rid of cover-mechanics and gave us a spiderman or Batman Arkham style indicator when to dodge, block/parry etc. and they didn't give us profile-switching, so this time we truly are HARD-LOCKED to 3 abilities, which fucks every class, but especially the mages who as a class-fantasy are a swiss-army-knife character with spells for every situation - but not in DAV, nope! Here you are a one-trick-pony mage (unless you truly use only 1 healing ability, one damage ability and only one crowd control ability, which means you are a bad Jack of few (not all!) traits and master of nothing!))

    Electronic Arts and Paradox are on my no-buy list because of problems such as DRM and the requirement to have an account with the company (EA), and a history of botched launches, DLC spam, and microtransactions (both companies). Even if, against all odds, Veilguard and Bloodlines 2 are good, I won't buy them because of this. I don't think I'll be missing much, as they aren't what I am looking for. Until the runaway success of Baldur's Gate 3, it seems like the big companies thought old school CRPGs were dead, and they all moved on to generic action games, because that was supposedly what sells. I think they are at least partially right; generic action games probably will sell, at least to some extent, but they aren't satisfying for the hard core RPG audience, which is larger than these companies realize. Unfortunately, with Avowed, Obsidian went down this same path, so I'm not particularly excited for it, and I'll wait and see before I consider buying it. I'm really tired of generic action RPG-lite games, and if I never play another one, it will be too soon. What I really want is a proper Pillars of Eternity 3, but that was not in the cards because that style of game was supposedly out of style. Hopefully, in the post-Baldur's Gate 3 era, Obsidian will be able to rethink this and get back to their roots - that is, unless Microsoft shuts them down because they can't produce a massive live service hit that will bring in loads of money.

    Avowed is dead to me, unfortunately. I loved Obsidian (Alpha Protocol NEEDS a sequel!) but I refuse to buy an Xbox. Also, it looks a little too much like "The Outer Worlds" which was a little mid to me; too cartoony with hideous character models (especially the women) and leaning too hard into the anti-capitalism/satire rather than a deep emotional investment.
    Dragon Age: VG is also dead to me. I pre-ordered and played the original three. The character reveal was a slap to my face; cartoony Overwatch/Fortnight, ugly female companions, forced diversity with Asian and black elves, and WHATEVER the hell that Quanari warrior is. Add in once again going action over tactical and it is a hard pass. Besides, per the self described "Queerosexual Gendermancer" director, the game is "inherently queer" so not meant to be played by 95% of the audience. Given how many OG's have left, this isn't Bioware anymore.
    Bloodlines 2 has lost my interest. It needed to be a deep RPG with tons of dialogue options and customization. By going with a spoken protagonist (which I do like, I just wish that we could get that WITH the classic dialogue system) who seems to be fixed kills quite a bit of what made the original so enjoyable. It might be decent but will not live up to the original (for all of its flaws). It has gone through too many hands and too many iterations.

    Vampire Bloodlines 2 and Dragon Age share a number of similarities:
    - iconic classics RPGs (Bloodlines 1 and DA: Origins) which had strong, dark themes that were both funny and well-written;
    -These licenses are now pre-empted by a handful of activists and fans who hope to unscrupulously push their queer agendas into future games, and don't really care about the legacy of these licenses.
    -The sequels of these famous RPGs become "action RPGs" with correct but soulless graphics, simplified generic combat, voice acting, and dialogue wheels which give a vaguely RPG aspect but which do not change anything in the story Game ;
    -The Diversity Equity and Inclusion specifications are omnipresent and supported by the minority of activists who become the biggest defenders of the questionable choices of these studios;

      To be fair Bloodlines 1 was also an action RPG. The combat, however, wasn't the main focus or why people liked the game. Partly due to how clunky and imbalanced it was.

    Out of all these I'm mostly impressed with Avowed. It looks like a real fun rpg game with very gorgeous, stunning and eye-catching art style. Good it's not a large overwhelming empty open world rpgs like all other major games and thanks to developer for making Avowed into multiple large open zones with different environments, biomes and vegetations. This will make this game unique and standout from so called large open world realistic dark fantasy rpgs.

    Have to 100% disagree on Veilguard. It seems to be a very vocal minority making it seem as though the game has much more negative sentiment than it actually does.
    As far as the gameplay looking bad, maybe if you only prefer rigid turned based combat. To me this looks like the best DA combat out of any of their previous titles which have been mostly pretty bad so far. It looks like we’ll get some solid choice and consequence so as long as the writing it good, it will likely be received very well and sell very well.
    They’ve been clear that it’ll be more linear and certain people will dislike that, but besides that it has a lot of potential to be GOTY for 2024.

      If you're an average girl, that's understandable. They have no clue what functionality or durability is, so they choose things based off visuals alone.
