Insulting Its Own Legacy To Promote Dragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare's Lost It

Hanzala from eXputer inquires, "If Dragon Age: The Veilguard needs BioWare to degrade its own works just to promote it, what does that tell you about the game's quality?"

Daeloki269d ago

Damn, people really need to calm down. Every Dragon Age game has been wildly different from each other, there is no singular version of what it used to be... Back when DA2 came out, people complained and compared to DAO, but still played the game. When DAI came out, they complained and compared to DAO and DA2, and still played the game. I know, I've been there. I complained about DA2 and DAI, but I still played them and I still enjoyed them. All 3 first games were vastly different, and I count them all among some of my favourite games. We've seen very little so far, it's much too early to be this dramatic about it.

What we know/seen is dragon age 4 for through over 3 overhauls have entire teams leave all the original bioware member's leave and now we have a game that decided to redo all the known designs of every enemy.

This thing its going to be saints row reboot and or anthem/redfall/me4

You should watch the netflix dragon age that made it cannon da3 ending is that inquisition gone everyone split up and or is dead why? we need that dei clipboard paycheck.

I watched the netflix show, not that I see what it has to do with anything? We already know we get to set our own world order for our game. There is an "official" canon that is separate from each players personal canon. This is nothing new.

As for the rest of your comment, that is purely speculation (I think, consider proofreading before hitting send).

@Daeloki

" watched the netflix show, not that I see what it has to do with anything?"

If you actually watched the show you would know at the end the item they have is in vanguard gameplay the part they climb the steps.

Also in the anime da3 charecters appear it shows one of the end of the games dlc which is cannon because again da4 starts after the anime.

Not to mention your talking about dragon age keep that has not worked for 8 years on pc and sits dead not updated sense da 3.

Just like mass effect 4 they have not shown any interest in porting over old data from the keep.

Now everyone mass down vote yell i am a liar with 0 evidence sense no doubt no one on here has ever played the games or used the keep in the last 5 years.

"If you actually watched the show you would know at the end the item they have is in vanguard gameplay the part they climb the steps."

Ok, so that item will be relevant to the plot. I still don't see what that has to do with my original comment?

"Also in the anime da3 charecters appear it shows one of the end of the games dlc which is cannon because again da4 starts after the anime."

So? You realize Dragon age has had books and comics before too? There is an official established canon for publishewd media like that, and then there is the canon we players determine in the game. These are separate canons.

"Not to mention your talking about dragon age keep that has not worked for 8 years on pc and sits dead not updated sense da 3."

Nowhere did I mention Keep, I said we get to set our own world order, they've confirmed that this is part of the character creation. But since you brought up keep not working, it worked just fine for console less than a month ago when I started a new Inquisition playtrough. Can't say for PC though.

2 was janky. I enjoyed 3 buts it’s failed MMO roots showed. 1 is still the best

just_looken268d ago

I prefer number 3 combat but number one had the best character's choices its to bad that game is abandon ware now.

Its a pain to get running without crashing has 0 controller support and the mouse/keyboard controls are barbaric.

We need a collection like they did with mass effect.

bababooiy269d ago

Similar thing happened with SaintsRow and look how that turned out. To be fair we are seeing this happen in other industries as well. This is what diversity hiring gets you, people that hate gaming and only ended up in the industry for the money.

swedishMeatwad269d ago

Wow, everything can be blamed on diversity hiring... "the problem with the world today"

just_looken268d ago

wow 12 dislikes on a comment that actual devs of the game agreed on

But the mega cult is getting trump into power again so i should not be surprised saint row reboot has a fanbase.

EternalTitan269d ago

Legacy?
I can hear the fans being insulted and being told that this is no longer a product for their audience.

RiseNShine269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

I can't think of anything more dumb than insulting past games legacy to promote your new game, even more when they were among the best CRPGs ever. The game has to be in really bad shape if they want to promote it that way.

CrimsonWing69269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

So, he insulted the legacy by stating better combat in this than previous entries, better story telling with a bigger focus on narrative than prior entries, more intricate character designs, which he claims were limited in the past to make cosplay “easier,” is “insulting” the legacy?

Ive seen so much sh*t talking about DA2 and Inquisition that it weirds me out to see people now defending those games. I, personally, thought the gameplay trailer looked great… while the initial teaser, not so much. I’ll wait for the game to come out and see if it’s “better” than the previous entries, but people need to calm the f*ck down over this. He’s just claiming improvements they’ve focused on that I’m pretty sure stemmed from consumer criticism in the first place.

jznrpg269d ago

I liked Inquisition but 2 was not very good. I have no idea about this game yet I haven’t played it
