  • The reviews for Veilguard are in ladies and gentlemen and oh my god... This is got to be one of the weirdest cases of a split between youtubers, fans and career journalists I've ever seen.

    People often don’t realize that Ziff Davis more or less owns like 14 different gaming outlets, including IGN, Eurogamer, PCMag, etc. With that knowledge, it’s not surprising when a lot of these outlets have eerily similar opinions of a game.

      Was it? DA never even appealed to me ever, so I have no idea what it is even like. I'm huge into CRPG's & loved BG3 but the real reason I never had interest is bc it was made by Bioware. Ignoring the original CLASSIC games that made them big (NWN; KotOR) Bioware never impressed me. Starting with things like Mass Effect & SWTOR, it just felt so mega-zoomer and unappealing. Is DA like ME?

    • @nowayjosedaniel
      @nowayjosedaniel 22 дні тому +5

      Welp - just found out why. Everything good Bioware made was before 2007, when EA bought them. And ME1 was 2007. DA right after.
      So I never hated Bioware. I loved them. I just hated EA.

      @@nowayjosedaniel Origins was the last game made under "classic" Bioware, was greenlit and made under the Doctors. It was the first release by EA/Bioware, but was made without EA's influence. If you liked BG3, then I recommend Origins. Everything else DA. I'd pass on.

    When the game got released on steam, it was mixed with only 64% positive, few hours later

    Origins is 100% still the best Dragon Age. Veilguard is a decent RPG, but a lack-luster Dragon Age. I've played almost 7hrs now and I'm definitely enjoying myself, but haven't seen anything that puts it above a 6.5/10 so far.

    • @oldmanbanjo
      @oldmanbanjo  21 день тому +3

      Yeah, the 6.5 to 7 is where almost everyone seems to be. I'll probably be lower when I play it, but I'm picky about story telling and that's what people say is bad.

    I’m curious why so many comments say they’ll just replay BG3, as if it were any better. Isn’t that game just as woke and cringe? All modern fantasy has got the taint of WOTC polluting it.

      I have uninstalled DA:I up to ten times. It's that bad.
      I actually enjoyed ESO initially. My issue with it is the end game content isn't as good as FFXIV or WoW. But the narrative definitely is great.

    • @grantwallace1882
      @grantwallace1882 21 день тому

      @oldmanbanjo I like the Elder Scrolls world. I don't usually play any MMOs, but often heard that ESO is generally a huge single player game. Not sure I will play enough of it to reach the end game content. I am quite enjoying the quest structures so far and, as I have said, I like just being in the Elder Scrolls world. I am all really impressed that my Lenovo Legion laptop with its 1050 graphics card can play it at ultra settings.

    I don’t understand what the internets obsession is with trying to make everyone like or dislike whatever you like or dislike is! If you like the game cool enjoy. If you hate it cool leave it be.
