Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Review Thread

[Pey]

This review scandal may be real. I’ve seen it myself as far back as 15+ years ago where companies selectively pick favorable reviewers … and that’s normal. HOWEVER… it seems like EA and BioWare pulled every bs tactic they could.

Review codes were sent to those who gave favorable impressions to the preview events. I suggest waiting for fan reception post mortem. Bs radar off the charts.

Still betting on AI assisted game development here.

I didn't participate of any preview event, still received a code and bashed the game in every possible way. The embargo rules stated that reviews could not show more than 10 minutes of gameplay and still manty reviewers posted video reviews of 1 hour, and yet, the video I uploaded yesterday from the non binary Quinari was taken down by EA and gave a strike to my channel. Funny. I will reupload it and publish it tomorrow, along with other 24 videos I have lol. Mostly boss fights, the first two hours of gameplay and other stuff.

Yeah, I was just reading how that video was being taken down since it’s getting a lot of traction I think. If it’s yours … congrats! lol

It seems that whoever is handling the pr is flexing muscle to control content before release.

Well… maybe dev pay shouldn’t be tied to review score metas. That’s a bit of a circle jerk

Given that the PC version won't have Denuvo, this might become one of the most pirated games ever especially with all the people wanting to meme and dunk on it.

This is the mentality of someone who has too much spare time. Loser mentality, to be honest.

Youre not seeing anything weird about the character in fantasy game punishing herself with push up for misgendering someone she talk to? Or talking about hes not feeling comftable with her own skin/gender?

Those are real dialogue in this game

People pirating it would mean they'd want to play it.

This game was sitting behind Farm Simulator in preorder sales for the most of the last 6 months.

im sure the game is somewhat decent but im not really into action rpgs. I already got burned by dragon dogma 2 by reviewers. That game sucked. Ill wait for a deep sale.

No. Its a different opinion than yours. That's all. But if trying to belittle me makes you hard, by all means continue with your shallow mindset.

Don't try and talk reason to these kind of trolls... He probably pre-ordered this pile of horse manure.

Wow the Steam Charts page for Veilguard doesn't work. It's the only one not loading. Writings on the wall or coincidence?

There's no data yet. Steam says the game only unlocks in 5 hours.




In the meanwhile, after EA / Bioware started a banning spree on the game's Steam Discussion forums to keep certain conversations from happening, Streisand effect kicked hard so the first pages look like this:

It's a video game. A role playing game. No, I dont.

Too early

Hi EA/ BioWare I hope you're doing well! I’m reaching out as a huge fan of Dragon Age, and I was so excited to see Dragon Age: The Veilguard available on Steam here in the UAE. But then, to my surprise, it was suddenly removed, and I can’t help but feel a little heartbroken. The Dragon Age...

The game apparently got banned in the entire MENA region, not just UAE.

Some markets here are pretty big, like Turkey's.
