@havok786ca: I wholeheartedly disagree. Sure, there might be some decent banter here and there, but not much beyond that. To each their own.

I love Halk. He’s a good dude and he has done incredible work for this game. His mods are always the first mods I install when playing the applicable games.

@guitarwarrior66: is this supposed to be satire? Because it is, whether or not you want it to be.

I’ve played them all and enjoyed them all (that includes the 4 Zombie Army games. SE3 was probably the worst), but I’m feeling pretty burned out by now. Unless the levels are really well done and awesome to play, then I’ll probably skip this one until it’s on a deep sale. I’m sure I’ll end up playing it at some point and having fun when I’m feeling the call for it.

They probably mean something mind blowing like “paying real money in strip clubs, viewing movies in the theater and for gambling etc”

@nemesis: this comes with the territory after gaming for many years. There’s nothing no we haven’t experienced before. They can’t really do much in terms of “new never done before” features. All they can do is improve and put a certain spin on things. I don’t know what people expect. We’ll be climbing, rolling, dodging, aiming, shooting, swinging, jumping for the rest of eternity.

At this point, it’s mostly about the characters, story and exploration if the other things don’t work for you anymore.

@gr4h4m833zy: they gave Veilguard an 8 and claimed that the cast of characters is fantastic. The pros and cons didn’t really say anything at all about the actual game. The entire review didn’t say anything about the quality of writing or storytelling. Just that combat is mostly fun, the mage stinks, Rook stinks and your companions squirm their way into your heart. Good graphics, “great” cast of characters (massive stretch, since the writing is so abysmal that it makes the characters terrible) and good character creator. 8/10. That about sums it up. Extremely deceptive review with a lot left out of it entirely.

@mogan: very well put. I don’t care about “woke” content. I care about good writing and good characters. The rest doesn’t matter if it’s done well and in a mature way. I could play Veilguard on mute and genuinely benefit from doing so. It would, sincerely, increase the score a little bit.

Tons of past games (in general, not just dragon age) have done woke content very well and organically. These days, it’s become a checkbox. A statement. A cringe factory and they rarely ever do it justice anymore.
