Justice for the devs of Veilguard!
Everyone involved in the creating of this game did a fantastic job!

Except the writers.

It's an absolute shame all the devs hard work means nothing in the long run because of the terrible writing.

I'm not talking about it's inclusivity or how progressive it is. I'm talking about the quality of it's writing. This is the first game I've played where the writing is so bad it becomes a black hole and actively sucks everything good about the game into it.

Not like Forspoken's "Did I just do that? I just killed a whole gaming studio with my freakin' mind" writing.

Not like Dustborn, Suicide Squad or Dustborn's writing. Yes I said Dustborn twice.

The writing in this transcends the Marvel Joss Whedon style of cheap, quirky humour and becomes it's own abyss where even the voice acting is affected by it.

I genuinely hope the devs of this game don't lose their jobs or the voice actors get a black mark on their discography because the writer's are the real problem here.

Imagine working overtime to make the most delicious cake, then someone comes and ♥♥♥♥♥ on it. Obviously no one will take your cake seriously because of the ♥♥♥♥ frosting.

Justice for everyone who worked on this game and voiced the characters. I'm so sorry the writers have left you to rot.

Its been going downhill since inqusition and andromeda I knew the writing would end up like this.
Yah but Veilguard compared to Andromeda and Anthem was basically a triumph. Like basically no bugs or day 1 100gb patch
an unbuggy release means nothing if the game is bland and a chore to play. Andromeda had some decent combat Anthem had neither both used an engine not designed for the games bioware makes.

The fact people seriously consider having a functional game at launch a triumph really just shows how far the game industry has fallen over the years.

Andromeda's combat was ♥♥♥♥

Did you use Grok to summarise my post or are you yapping

I'm saying that it's both not really a triumph and a sad indicator of the current state of the industry that people consider it such.

It's like praising somebody in a cooking class for not setting fire to the oven, if everybody else sets theirs on fire it's notable but it's also still not a triumph; the bare minimum that can be reasonably expected remains the bare minimum even if nobody else hits it these days.

Why do I suspect most of that is because ' barely anyone played it ' .. an those who did either quit early.. or just dont care enough to send in the reports heh.. :moxes:
I dunno why people hate on it so much.
Game released not needing any patches and ran great. Looks amazing.
The game-play is really fun especially later game once you get to specialize.

Story was servicable. Not great. Not terrible. I really don't understand the pitch fork mentality around games these days. If its fun its fun. If its not fun then.. . move on?
I really don't get why people gut and franchise and destroy everything that I love just to push some agenda and make some easy money! I don't get it and I don't plan to get it ever in my life! You guys should stop hating the game I love you hear me *whiny noises

Eh, weren't there people running into issues with the game not letting them open up chests because it somehow forgot that they had already gotten the Lyrium dagger? They did patch that up quickly, but I remember seeing complaints about that.

Did you honestly even play it or are you going by what Asmongold told you to think?
Like i get your point but i don't feel the game was gutted in any way. This has been way more fun for me than the third and second games. The first will always be amazing just becasue it was the first.

But also the agenda thing - maybe im not far enough in the game (23 hours) but i can say i have not seen anything that has jumped out as an obvious agenda yet and im hanging out with that Tarsh character that people seem to hate on. Maybe it comes later? Maybe i'll be so disgusted and threatened by a video game characters identity that i'll suddenly agree and spend the rest of my days on steam forums hating on every game that im told to hate...... but i'm fairly sure im pretty close to the end of the game and that hasn't happened yet.

I will note that i haven't watched any videos or clips of any of this stuff just because i don't want spoilers so i don't know if there is a story line that is offending some people somewhere or a side quest i missed that is supposed to turn me into a queen.

You do you of course but i had a good time with this game so far and enjoyed it and will probably do another play through with a new class some time down the road once im through some of these new upcooming titles out next month.

LOL How NOT to make a game. They teach.
He didn't mention Asmongold @chubbi. People like you putting words in others mouthes is one of the biggest problems next to the trash that this game is.

Enjoy your game but you don't have to make up ♥♥♥♥ to make your point. It just shows how insecure you are in your own opinion.

This game wasn't made for me and wants to erase what made Dragon Age good so it's a hard pass no matter how hard you cope.

Glad this studio is shutting down. They made what they wanted and now they get to reap their reward.
Nah, hentai games are better than this game
An RPG fan wildly overreacting in an extremely pompous way? Who would of thought that was possible?
