started playing Dragon Age The Veilguard. im a few hours in and really liking it so far. i’ve not played previous entries so i cant speak from a place of authority on the series but this game its self is fun. im enjoying the story and characters, really loving the combat too. i like that its not open world full of a bunch of pointless bullshit everywhere (unless it opens up further in?) i think many complaining about it were just mad there are lots of women characters. cant speak for the criticisms of it not feeling like a real dragon age game but so far its really good. i wish it ran better on my pc tho. it looks good but for what it offers in terms of visuals and environment size/detail it should run a lot better
From what I can tell, a lot of the complaints were people complaining it's woke, or comparing it to earlier entries which were amazing (especially Origins imo). Other than that, I haven't played it, but it still doesn't sound like too bad a game.
The complaints I've heard is that not only about comparing it to earlier entries but also complaining about the marvel-ification of the the whole IP, story, game play mechanics, etc. Like I think they were aiming to try and capture lighting in a bottle again by copy-pasting Mass Effect 2's general storyboard but applied to dragon age conditions. Dunno if that's really worked out for them, as far as I can tell they've basically kind of in a rock and a hard place where no matter what they do they're gonna be fucked over by the legacy of what they've made before.
