Dragon Age: The Veilguard - A woke disaster? Yep!

[p1138]

and the last game to bear the BioWare name was a fucking bomb

The last two. Anthem and ME Andromeda. They've got 3 utter failures in a row now with this veilguard shit.

 

[bort420]

they've been shit since da2/me3

those two had some redeeming features but they stopped even trying after DAI

Now, they are incapable of trying since all the talent left

10 seconds in: "... since I was a little egg."

Before I subject myself to this, is this a troon?

EDIT: Oh. Lily Orchard. Put a biohazard sticker on this trash, fella.

it is done, homie

I've gotten just far enough (past such howlers as "Nobody remembers Jade Empire") to get to the thesis of the video, which seems to be "Dragon Age was always bad." I'm not sure I can stomach it.

My favorite part was Bioware making Baldur's Gate 2, a game released well over two decades ago, somehow being proof they're still good because Baldur's Gate 3, a game they had nothing to do with, exists.

You know, in my most recent run, I've realized that I actually wasnt giving Origins the credit it deserves. The game is actually great. It's a shame that none of the sequels measured up because it's honestly a fantastic CRPG through and through.

Fuck Lily Orchard, or Jerry Peet as he deserves to be called, that troon is a fucking spastic retard that should 41% soon.

For me it was the immediate start with the KotFE footage, no one in good faith brings that drek up.

A game that has barely anything to do with BG2 at that!

it's been fifteen years since origins

With this in mind, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at Bioware's output since. I sourced all the games from Wikipedia and used Metacritic for the scores.

Game	Critic Score	User Score
Dragon Age: Origins (2009)	86	8.5
Mass Effect 2 (2010)	96	8.9
Dragon Age II (2011)	79	4.8
Dragon Age Legends (2011)	N/A	N/A
Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011)	85	6.1
Mass Effect 3 (2012)	93	6.2
Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes (Cancelled)	N/A	N/A
Command & Conquer: Generals 2 (Cancelled)	N/A	N/A
Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014)	85	6.1
Shadow Realms (Cancelled)	N/A	N/A
Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017)	71	5.0
Anthem (2019)	59	4.0
Mass Effect Legendary Edition (2021)	87	7.4
Dragon Age: The Veilguard (2024)	82	3.8
BONUS: Baldur's Gate 3 (2023)	96	9.2

As ever, you have to take review scores with a pinch of salt (both for critics and users) but I think it's clear from this that the rot had set in at Bioware long before they shat out Andromeda.

I also find it pretty funny that their best received game in over 10 years was a re-release of the original Mass Effect trilogy.

 

[BlankSpaceBaby]

Clearly, the +80% unearned praise perk that comes with tranny privilege applied to the critical review scores of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. No way is it almost as good as Mass Effect: The Legendary Edition or Dragon Age: Origins.

I think this is the first troon I ever randomly encountered on Youtube through his Korra video or something. The obviously male voice with female channel name confused the hell out of me.
More innocent times.
I refuse to give it a view now though even if it was archived I wouldn't waste my time.

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Fleekazoid finally got around to writing a review.

Not to be confused with his OTHER video on it

"Dragon Age was always bad."

Inquisition selling 12 million copies over 10 years would seem to call "bullshit" on that.

swtor is a fun game but it's expansions honestly just sucks, especially the fucking mysterious never seen before empire just popping out of existence ones sucks

 

[Sargon's wife's son]

I was surprised by how fast Origins was but how satisfying too.

Yeah I can be Dragon Age origin in like 9 hours if I was really trying on nightmare I still hate the sloth demons domain I really just don't like backtracking.
Still though my only disappointment is you can't stab your brother in the face when you play the dwarf noble origin when you get back to the dwarf city like you screwed me over I'm king now.
Doing a dwarf playthrough 2 handed warrior always forget how OP that setup is especially if you do return to osteocare and get nug crusher.


Also I still have not done a mage playthrough in years I started one but never finished it'cause it really sucks using all of your field spells when you're a nightmare because you always kill all of your guys

also really really wanna like shell as a companion but it's just not a good companion and the only way I can make the dog work is with the mob that allows you to add them as a free slot.




Actually my first playthrough I did that I was a Danish elf Archer and I basically did absolutely every screwed up thing you could possibly do I even sicked the werewolves on the elves they deserved it


my only issue is you can't side with the demons in the tower I don't see why not.


In exchange for sleeping with the hot demon lady in the dream state you can literally sell her a small child's soul.



Also the archdemon is kind of a pushover seriously the hardest boss in my opinion is the mini boss before you get to the anvil of the void

I like Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan a little bit less (as it introduced the two main companions that would infest that arc), but the whole Zakuul nonsense is actual genuine garbage I played once to say that I did, and I will never again.

Marvel slop also made a shit ton of money, does not mean it is not slop

the worst part of it is they get rid of your companions and team you up with randoms from other storylines, it just ruins it

Maybe, but tt was at least competently made slop up to Endgame. Veilguard feels like Phase 4 MCU where they're still trying to ride off the nostalgia from 2017 but are completely out of appealing ideas.
