Dragon Age: The Veilguard

[JJimmyJ]

Not seen anything about this on the forum, and judging from the trailer I'm not sure I'll be playing it. Art style looks awful! Very disappointed

It looks interesting but my first thought was that the art style was a bit weak/comic-like. If the gameplay is good, which is rare these days, then I'll give it a play.

 

[von Humboldt]

Yeah, felt more like Guardians of the Fantasy than anything else. We'll see actual gameplay tomorrow though.

 

[Apex]

Dragon Age: Apex Legends.

 

[Noxia]

Yeah art style put me off a bit, but not as much as the 'marvel-esque quips' in the dialogue.

How did we go from dark fantasy to saturday morning cartoons?

 

[Apex]

Yeah art style put me off a bit, but not as much as the 'marvel-esque quips' in the dialogue.

Trailer got ratio'd to ****, so it seems no-one likes the art style either, yeah the banter and jokes were completely immersion breaking. This is DA in name only on what we have seen, but they don't want to make a game in the DA universe - so they havent.

Well that looks more like it. I suppose they had to do something with yesterday's negativity.

Weird, can't get that to open.
What's the gist (if you don't mind me asking)

 

[Noxia]

Fully expecting a dragon riding scene with someone shouting "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Just a short snippet of two characters talking and walking out to a view overlooking the city. Nothing important but it was less cringey than the trailer.

Yeh, Bioware's pressing a button for something awesome to happen hasn't changed

Gameplay video.

Looks closer to Inquisition than the previous ones.

Proceeds to fall down due to our Main Hero moving a piece of wood.

Great writing there. I still maybe want to play it kind of but the gameplay did not exactly enthused me. Very generic fantasy with not great writing.

Looks very different, not a dark moody setting, but I was only really a fan of origins and disliked the others (especially Inquisition). So I'll pass, maybe get it when it's on offer.

I still maintain Origins was the best. It actually had a story that was worth playing through, and the combat with both strategy and 3rd person views was amazing. It is still one of my all time favourite RPGs.

They have lost it. I disliked DA2, which I have tried to play a few times through but just get bored. And DAI I honestly cannot get into at all. It became way too generic RPG for me with the way gear is shown and and how the over the top animations during combat.

 

[Frenzy]

That looks so boring and generic. What a disappointment.

 

[XiS111]

The gameplay just lacks so much impact to the combat and you can't feel that sense of urgency to the impending invasion. Origin was the best, 2 and 3 were also dull so this feels like the end of another great franchise.
