Riiiiiiiight

“The Director Is Also A Fan Of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.”

[Obscure_Observer]

As an AC fan since the original, I couldn´t agree more.

[VenomUK]

Respect. As you’ve been with AC since the beginning you absolutely deserve to play the best version of the game!

[isarai]

How are you guys never embarrassed to make comments like these? You sound like a cheap TV commercial from the 50s

[Nerdsworth]

Same.

[GenoPurpel]

Article title is pretty click baity, the quote from him is quite plainly “Best *AC* combat system in years”. He is NOT saying that this game has the best combat system compared to other games lol

[MDTunkown]

And that quote ain’t wrong, it’s easily the best combat after assassins creed 3

[GenoPurpel]

Personally I’m excited to check it out eventually. My backlog is way too big and I know it’ll be down to $20-$30 in a year lol

[Goodguy01]

Yikes. Just keep directing games like BG3 then you'll be fine mr director.

Edit: Ok, the title needs an edit lol

[Armaggedon]

This…is what perception manipulation looks like

They are being nice. The people over at BG3 are kind people. A review on Steam said that there are only 2 combat animations per weapon.

[Toecutter00]

It's the worst combat of the recent AC games hands down. Animations are janky. The engine they use is ancient and it shows. They're not using mo-cap... for anything. I wanted to play a better looking Gjost of Tsushima and it doesn't even deliver in that regard. If you can't even reach the bar of Ghost, what are you even doing?

[Nerdsworth]

I'm 40+ hours into the game, and I'm calling you a liar.
