    i’m several hours in and it definitely does remind me of apex legends a little bit, both with the dialogue and graphics, i think that if you like the marvel movies, apex legends, and the newer shows that disney has been putting out then you will like this game ! I will say though , it also doesn’t necessarily feel like dragon age a whole lot but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️ the combat is fun and flashy but can get a bit repetitive and some of the enemies can feel a bit spongy and copy and pasted, but it is fun. I’m still waiting for the story to really pick up so i hope it’s not one of those things where you’re waiting until the end for it to “pick up” also the dialogue does feel less extensive and little dumbed down and it can be cliche, the beginning in my
    opinion was awesome though i really enjoyed it as well as the character creation which was really cool too. There are things that i like so far and there are things that i don’t like so far, but as i get further in i will most likely be updating these review/comments that i’ve made :)

    I’m about to start DA Inquisition since it’s been 10 years and I only played it once without touching the DLC. Given the first couple of hours of some streams I’ve watched, I’m getting exactly what you said here. Some of it looks really good, some of it looks pretty middling, and some of it kinda meh. Overall, I think I’m going to still enjoy it when I do get to play it after Inquisition.

    I'm probably not gonna play Veilguard (if I am, it will be from a sale), since everything I'm hearing from reviews, good or bad, just tell me it's not for me. Despite that, let me say that your responces to the sorts of idiots looking for outrage content in your comments has earned you a new sub. Always good to see more measured, rational takes in this outrage-machine youtube has turned into.

    For anyone who doesn’t care about injecting identity politics into games, it’s probably gonna be an ok game. For anyone tired of being told what to think, how they should act, etc., they’re not gonna play it. However, to be a success you need both of those groups. It’s like being an ice cream shop that only sells vanilla, sure you’ll get customers, but not enough to keep your doors open 🤷‍♂️

    For me, if the game wasnt trying so hard to lecture me, (seen enough of a walkthrough) may have bought it.
    Before people respond that im just complaining and a bigot etc, i never used to care about politics before, but because games like this keep pushing ideologies, sick of it and dont want to support them anymore.
    Would be same thing if videogames were pushing religion into them, telling people to repent or they will burn, bet there would be major outcry there as well

    Hey man, i feel like all the reviewers are confusing. Many say its "fine" or "meh" some say its "great" and the rest says its "bad" or "cringe"...
    I got turned off on inquisition because of how long it took to get going and the ridiculous amount of side quests that had no impact to story line.
    I feel like veilguard surpasses that, and it surpasses previous combat gameplay by miles, it also looks pretty darn good visually...i can understand that some of the character speech is lackluster and would bring down an initial review.
    Id score it an 7.5. Ui, language and character design can be improved. But mostly my point deduction would go towards the fact that it doesnt really class itself as a proper rpg like baldurs gate 3.
    Main takeaways for bioware is that if it wants to create an rpg, they should really look at baldurs gate 3 acts 1 and 2.

    My early thoughts, so far:
    I'm about 7-8hrs in & loving it. I love the art style. Dialogue is ok. Sometimes the faces look a little weird, but majority of the time, they're great.
    Love the combat. It's fun
    I like the linearity (It's still a bit open). I heard it opens up a little more later, tho.
    Gotta play more to see how the story goes. It's not perfect. No game is.

      I played Dragons Dogma 2 and can honestly say it’s the most overrated game of the year IMO. Combat was fun but repetitive after a while, companions were annoying, story was incredibly uninspired, dialogue was cringe and grinding levels was a slog. All this to say that forcing your opinion on others is shitty whether it’s praise or slander.

    Six hours in? Oooh right then. See they spread out things over a 40-50 hours game. So, the question is do you want to play it for 40-50 hours.
    And are you ready for what is coming your way. Some of the games I played had great first ten hours then... please not another set of missions to level up :(
    Look, I am not sure that this game is worthy the name Dragon Age. And I have the feeling that Bioware/EA might not either. No DLC??? Will they do a Andromeda, patch 1.1 and then... nothing. Would be sad right, but quite possible. EA is going to need a lot of work done to make Mass Effect 5 happen right.
