Fair enough, but in this case he’s absolutely 100% spot on.
IGN just proved that they were shilling the game.
Can’t imagine why trust in the media is at an all time low.
Real head scratcher that.
They don't even have the balls to stand by their initial review. Pathetic.
I was almost scared to google that.
Game Journalists: "Return to Form"
Gamers: "Return to Retailer"
I remember in the 90s, you'd get people who liked RPGs etc reviewing genres they didn't even seem to playIt's funny to think we thought Games media was bad 10 years ago
They kinda didOh, why didn’t you say this earlier?
Sounds like a must buy then.
Give me a break.
I'm 30 hours in and it's a good game but not great. 7 out of 10 or thereabouts. Story is all over the place (good when it is good and whoopsie when it isn't)
Are you sure it isn't his favourite game on the citadel?Commander Shepard Plays Veilguard - But Probably Shouldn't
I would suggest purchasing a sarcasm detector.They kinda did
There are about 5 different dragons to fight I think, including demon versions and it's true that they do mostly have the same moveset.I've finished the game now - I got bored quickly so I set combat to easy and started skipping all the cutscenes, think my total time is 35hrs
By the end, one thing that stood out is how monotonous the enemy designs is - I think I fought the same dragon "boss" like 10 times, they need to learn from From Software on how to design boss and dragons, this is pathetic from such a big studio to reuse the same assets over and over
That seems like a fairly good summary, thank you.The view from somebody who:
1) Bought the game
2) Completed the game
So it took me just under 80 hours to complete it on Underdog mode (hard) and that is getting all the achievements, effectively 100% completing the game (Though my codex, which I never read, was only about 90% complete)
My character was a Human Rogue specialising in bow combat:
Pros
- Game performed excellent from launch and I encountered zero bugs. I would say it has decent graphics (even if you don't like the art style). 4k Ultra settings with some RT and it was running excellent with 120fps cap in place. Great hair physics
- Decent combat and variety of enemies. Once that specialisation came at level 30 my DPS ranked up considerably.
- Last missions were really good and had a Mass Effect 2 suicide mission vibe to them. In fact the game got stronger as it went on. Conversations with Solas were good.
- Some decent companions. I enjoyed helping Emmrich become a Lich and Davrin's developing bond with the Griffon, Assan (As a dog lover that played very well)
- Gameplay reminiscent of God of War.
Cons
- Nowhere near as good as God of War.
- Some enemies on 'Underdog' were a bit spongey and took a long time to get their health down, particularly some of the harder bosses.
- It's 2024 and the mouths of the characters didn't accurately represent what was being said.
- Companion quests were a mixed bag and either obvious what would happen (Lucanis) or too vague about what was occurring (Harding)
- Should have had a Paragon/Renegade system like Mass Effect, didn't feel like your dialogue choices matter most of the time.
- Some poor dialogue and writing
I'd probably give it 7.5/10 overall. Elements of the main plot were very entertaining, even though I didn't know who/what a lot of the factions were, having skipped DA2 and Inquisition. I didn't know who the Venatori were or the Antaam for example. I played as a Grey Warden as I was only really familiar with them from Origins.
Maybe I'd be more disappointed if I was more familiar with the two games I skipped? We'll never know.
Edit - It was better than Starfield, that was more like a 6/10 for me and more poorly written IMO.
