Support NeoGAF

[Neolombax]

all the hate you guys give the game makes me want to play it now.

It's not as bad as GAF makes it out to be. Its very average, gameplay is fun, but the writing leans towards bad though.

 

[peek]

LOL yuuuuup, i saw this and it was a glorious day. So fast, the mark of death (financially) for a brand new game like that to appear so fast.

 

[Bernardougf]

Yeah.. GAF and its famous echochamber ... good thing the market and mainstream dosent care about our opinion or the game would bomb.. oh wait.

 

[Raven117]

So... If I could only play one which one. Veilguard or Avowed ? Only bias opinions.

Avowed. It’s not even close.

 

[Sharius]

okay these "thing" come with new strategy now after ruining all popular francis, they go for cheap giveaway, what's next? dustborn? i know AC Shadow will be down in the line sooner or later

 

[Neolombax]

Yeah.. GAF and its famous echochamber ... good thing the market and mainstream dosent care about our opinion or the game would bomb.. oh wait.

It's free now anyways, there's no reason for hostility. Chill.

it take a slot in something that i paid for, so it's not "free", even a dime for this game consider a waste

 

[Neolombax]

So it sucks for you, I guess? There's tons of games that are considered to be a waste of "slot" in PS Plus. For someone who has actually played and finished Veilguard, I was just giving an opinion to the other guy. You can cry about it all you want though.

 

[EverydayBeast]

What’s the problem with Veilguard?

oh, so you are THAT huh, would have guess before wasting my time

 

[Darchaos]

Just gonna take a brake for a month from ps+ so i dont add veilguard to my library by accident. Oh well

 

[Ozzie666]

Sony offered EA 2 pieces of toast and a whole fried chicken.

EA said yes. The other 2 games are great editions.

 

[Salz01]

We live in a world where a free Dragon Age game that released 4 months ago isn’t wanted…. Holy shit.

 

[ComboBongo]

Sounds like it’s well worth my time over all the other great games then.

 

[rkofan87]

I mean, I wouldn't pay $70 for it, but for "free" why not?

same.

 

[Kerotan]

Yeah.. GAF and its famous echochamber ... good thing the market and mainstream dosent care about our opinion or the game would bomb.. oh wait.

But let's say gaf suggests it's trash, era suggests it's amazing but in reality it's somewhere in-between so average.

Being average is still enough for it to bomb. A game like this need's to be a solid 9/10 to do well. So might not be worth buying but as a free ps plus game you might get a bit of fun.

 

[Frostt]

New favorite gif, probably ever

 

[Frostt]

When will companies realize we don’t want any politics or DEI or forced inclusion in our VIDEOGAMES? They have mush for brains? Failure after failure and they still don’t see the lesson, they even thought that maybe this game didn’t work because it wasn’t a GAAS, not because of DEI. Jesus Christ. The will never understand

 

[BbMajor7th]

New trailer as well;

Using guilt, smears, and threats to blackmail people into dating you? Yeah, that's not creepy at all. Slightly saner take: if there's one area of life where it's okay to be discriminating, it's who you share your body with. Freedom of association is freedom of discrimination. What this person says suggests some presumed entitlement to somebody else's time and affection. Very fucking problematic.

Na.. the game is a complete failure.. average game can have average results.. this game is a complete bomb ... no way to spin this as just "not a success"

 

[Bernardougf]

Im chill bro ... but painting this complete failure of a game as anything more than a bomb and claiming gaf alone has a "hate boner" for the game is amusing and detached from reality...

More honest would be to say .. "Yeah I know 90% of the gaming community hate this game but I thought it was good.. maybe you will too".

Its ok to subjectively like bad things ...

 

[Rudius]

It will be free on EGS shortly too I bet

But never free of ESG

 

[Kerotan]

I never said it was a success but the game can still be an average 6/10 game despite bombing no?

 

[Gerdav]

EA and Sony should be paying people to download Veilguard, and even then I’m not sure there would many takers.

 

[xrnzaaas]

What’s the problem with Veilguard?

In short - horrible writing, horrible artstyle & design (subjective), combat & character development aren't very deep, forces you to be nice or at least neutral to everyone, can't make drastic decisions like leaving a potential companion behind. It's awful if you know and remember previous games, especially DA1.

 

[Paasei]

Rather have Concord.

 

[GrayDock]

So, AC Shadows in December?

 

[thatJohann]

Awesome. I love Veilguard and already finished it but happy for those who haven’t played it yet. It’s so fun.

[Killjoy-NL]

So... If I could only play one which one. Veilguard or Avowed ? Only bias opinions.

This might help:


On a technical level, Avowed seems pretty lacking compared to DA Veilguard.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

At 4 months, this might be a new record for an EA game going on sub plan. The old budget game Unravel hit EA Access in about 5 months which I think is the smallest time gap between launch and sub plan.

Originally, I thought it was 6 months, but got mixed up with SW Outlaws which released end of August.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I need a good laugh so I might download it for shits and giggles

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

New trailer as well;

What is that?

 

[DeepEnigma]

What is that?

Mental illness.

 

[adamsapple]

Avowed.

Self contained, you won't need to know previous games characters and lore.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. Veilguard did not deserve that. It is not THAT bad.

lol. Oh, well. It gets me an extra version of it.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

What is that?

I told you before goddammit, it's weird Al Yankovic

 

[RJMacready73]

you Reeeee infiltration operative, you're trying to turn us all ghey

Dammit I hate to admit it, graphically and technically Veilguard looks pretty alright, I may have to either try it or go sign up for some Andrew Tate sessions to get my manly manness back

 

[Chuck Berry]

What’s the problem with Veilguard?

Looking forward to the future thread where you tell us it's a masterpiece like Ragnarok

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Not saying the game is good or bad, but this video pretty much sums up GAF and the rest of the internet at the moment.....



Lots of dumb posts in this thread. If you want to give the game a try, you should.
If you like it, you like it.
If you don't, you don't.

Simple as this.

Holy shit. What the fuck is that?

 

[Krathoon]

The entertainment industry can be brutal sometimes.

It reminds me of when Disney+ erased the Willow tv series. It did not deserve that.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

If this turd show up in Humble Bundle I'm ending my subscription.

 

[nowhat]

Quit putting phantom u's in words. What is wrong with U people?

It's your fault we never got an update or sequel to Bloodborne.

I think you mean Bloodbourne.

 

[Bernardougf]

Lol... trying to pass this new narrative that gaf or the internet has a problem with this game is laughable... the game is dog shit .. it bombeb and failed thats why is already on psplus ... if you like it or even love it thats perfectly fine ...everybody should like what they like ... it dosent make it a failed product objectively good though or victim of persecution....

 

[cormack12]

I have no horse in this race but wtf is this lol. Clearly made with an agenda.

That parkour section for Avowed was terrible compared to the platforming it offers. And why on the combat demo were they using spells and axe melee in Veilguard, but just dagger jabbing on Avowed. Where was magic missile or roots.

Having said that they are probably overall the same level. Avowed does some things better and Veilguard seems to do others better.

Edit: 215 views?!

It was horrible... just horrible.. I wont be surprised if the new manegement cuts almost everything Star Wars from disney plus to start with a clean slate... or just double down... everything is possible with disney

But I could seet The Acolyte and somethings getting blown into oblivion.. they fuck up to much of the lore.
