Slow news last couple of days, plus the weekend… fans everywhere getting the shakes, at least until the embargo lifts. 😱 Not me ... I have plenty of other things to tide me over until Halloween. My enthusiasm took a hit when Pause & Play was shit-canned. Unfortunately the marketing "seems" over-hyped to me, and even the comments by the gaming press minimizing their previous apprehensions about gameplay seem to be scripted and not entirely "honest" to me. I wish the previews were more "show me" rather than blabbering endlessly over the gameplay ... ie ... Bio-splaining. Hopefully, the story will be good, but I am not confident ...

Here it comes... 20 hours and counting. (and should still be embargoed to only cover Act 1) So, it is setup in Act structures? Will it be obvious when Act One ends? Or is it more like DAI where once you get Skyhold everything opens up? DAI had a 3 Acts structure: - Act1 (everything before Skyhold) - Act2 (Skyhold with Here Lies the Abyss and WEWH) - Act3 (What Pride Had Wrought to the final boss fight) Map openess isn't relevant to the story act structure.

So, it is setup in Act structures? It's not numbered. But I understand, like Inquisition, you could divide the game with major set-piece missions (as azarhal correctly says). I don't think that's a revelation, we know it has a more linear structure with access to some open areas. Mass Effect would have its unnumbered acts too. To make an analogy to Inquisition, I believe today's embargo is like saying: You can talk about the character creator. You can talk about the tutorial mission. You can talk about Haven. You can talk about the Hinterlands, Val Royeaux and the Fallow Mire. You can talk about the characters. You can talk about gameplay. You can't discuss the elder one or Redcliffe Castle or the Templars or later missions... That's how I'm reading it. Maybe I'm wrong.

I actually want to see this content now, spoilers or not. I was watching Dantics latest video this morning when he was saying he thinks the real problem all along has been Bioware's poor marketing strategy with respect to Veilguard. In particular, he highlighted that the latest IGN exclusive did the game no favours and yet because of the embargo on everyone else who had similar access they weren't able to come out and support the game properly by showing how much better it could be in terms of Rook's appearance, game play, character development, etc. He also agreed how much better the screens would have looked if they hadn't saturated them with purple, even though he uses purple, because that gave the wrong tone and vibe for the game. Also, something he demonstrated that I had picked up on, when I can hear it I find the music underwhelming. He put the old iconic DAI score over his idea for a trailer and wow did it alter my perspective on what I was seeing because, of course, it tapped into my memory of my enjoyment there.
So, whilst detractors will argue that those with privileged access are hardly likely to say anything bad about the game, I do think it will help with enthusiasm because they will actually showcase what is good about the game.

So, whilst detractors will argue that those with privileged access are hardly likely to say anything bad about the game, I do think it will help with enthusiasm because they will actually showcase what is good about the game. Honestly this has been the best marketing campaign of a game that I have seen in a loooooonnnnggg time. Maybe since Inquisition. Like I don't give too much credit to many of them and don't really follow along with them...but that is also kind of the point because a lot of games being marketed these days have a serious dirth of content. Yes, go in and have a short concentrated marketing cycle...but most companies seem to leave out the 'concentrated' bit...or at the very least EA games. I also give a nod to Larian here and how they handled the marketing for BG III but they knew exactly what they were doing with it and given how skeptical I was and looking at things after the fact in a vaccuum they to did an amazing job. But the Jedi games? Only a couple of trailers. Black Myth Wuokong? Didn't hear about it till the week before it dropped and it was the 'next big thing' all of a sudden that I, a serious gamer, hadn't heard of. Hogwarts Legacy? Really didn't need to market it per se but we got like only three or four trailers. AC Shadows? Well they are trying it seems I guess but then recent Ubisoft games have also had really weird marketing campaigns without much content actually being shown and some really tone deaf decisions. All this to say that Veilguard has shown off a lot of content since June. Like I am legit shocked at how much content we have gotten for the game in terms of reveals, articles, trailers, dives into its systems...most of which most companies don't even bother to show. And now, another thing most companies don't seem to do, we get a major preview event with journalists and streamers and YouTubers six weeks before release? Six weeks. I already pointed out that Kala has 13 vids coming and while I am uncertain, obviously, if the other DA YouTubers et all will have that many out there this is also marketing. Six weeks of stuff above and beyond what they have already shown for this game, six weeks of content, six weeks of a potential blitz. Like I feel like this game's makreting campaign is a genuine best of both worlds situation where they have done this really short and concentrated marketing campaign but are actually showing off their game. It feels like the old days where game devs actually wanted to show off the game. Yes, we can quibble about the quality of the individual decisions and what we are seeing and about the color pallet or whatever, but we can;t say that they aren't actually marketing this game. Though the music for the trailers has been, imo, lit as hell.

Yes, we can quibble about the quality of the individual decisions and what we are seeing and about the color pallet DA:TV would have been better in many peoples eyes, if the first bunch of videos weren't shown at all or shown on a later date. Edit: And some if it would have been cut different or played by a different person.
