Between malice and optimism – this is how the community reacts

How does the players react? Depending on the platform, there are different reactions to the announcement of Dragon Age: The Veilguard for PS Plus. From confusion to malice to careful optimism, everything can be found.

On X.com, formerly Twitter, many people are confused by the decision to put the AAA game almost 80 euros in a subscription. X-user @Tom1973_1 Asks, for example, what happened to Dragon Age? Haggis Horror, on the other hand, wants to know in his comment how deep Dragon Age fell.

Most of the comments expresses Häme up to malicious joy:

  • The moment when your game is so successful that you only give it away a few weeks after the release – @alphamagesos via X
  • I would be so angry if I had bought Veilguard. But I don’t have that because it’s shit. – @Phoenix2a_1980s via X
  • It says so much that Veilguard is already on this list. – @xjustanthrgamer via X

    • It looks different on Reddit. In two different posts, some players from The Veilguard express careful hope:

  • NGL, I am looking forward to the change in opinion, but be ready for the influx of “This game is actually really good”, thanks to the PS+ free additions. – Scouse_werewolf via Reddit
  • I like your optimism very much and maybe it will happen – Dachhunds_n_dragons via Reddit in response to scouse_werewolf
  • I hope new players can have fun with the game. It’s totally worth it and pure eye cany. – Xyzora via Reddit

    • In general, however, there is rather reluctance.

    Incidentally, MeinMo editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski spoke to the release together with the Gamestar editor-in-chief Heiko Klinge and Michael Graf in the Gamestar Talk about Dragon Age: The Veilguard:

    A game that divides the community

    How did Dragon Age: The Veilguard arrived? For the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the game was praised by the game press at least. At that time, the score grew up 84 out of 100 possible points on Metacritic. In the meantime, the METSCORE is only 82 points.

    Meinmmo editor Benedict Grothaus also had praise and critical words in his allusion report: The latest Dragon Age in the test: The Veilguard is the ideal Dragon Age for everyone who has not yet known Dragon Age

    However, criticism of the game quickly came from the players. On the one hand, it bothered many long-established Dragon Age fans that they could not broadcast their World State in The Veilguard. Furthermore, it was criticized that the game was more of an action-RPG and that many popular points such as the profound, severe decisions of the old games do not bring with it.

    The Veilguard received 79 % positive reviews among the Steam players at the release. This formed a strong contrast to the metacitic user score of then only 3.4 points. Why there are such big differences here can be read here: Users rate Dragon Age: The Veilguard on Metacritic much worse than on Steam – how can that be?

    At the time of publication of this news, the game is at a user score from 3.9 on Metacritic. On the other hand, the evaluation is now balanced on Steam. It is criticized here that the story is poorly written and you often feel like you are in a HR presentation during the dialogues. Another point is that the player can only influence the events minimally, which is unusual for a Dragon Age but also a bioware game.

    There is praise for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, on the other hand, for the combat system that is fun for many players. The last story act also makes many of the positive reviewers happy. In addition, the graphics are always praised.

    In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves whether the Veilguard likes the Veilguard or not. PS5 owners with PS-Plus subscription can just rose the game itself from March 1st and form their own opinion.
