The review bombing will be the most discouraging. I'm expecting: - Savage review bombing.
- Any positive posts on social media to be met with arguments that it's 'woke garbage'
- The ending of the game to be shared on social media (with thumbnails) once the first physical disk leaks.
I don't expect the coming weeks will be pretty.
What will be interesting to see is how 'average gamers' react to the noise, how good the reviews are and whether they drop early and whether DAV picks up any GOTY nominations.
It probably doesn't matter if a game polarises if it also finds its audience, there are more than enough gamers to go around. BioWare marketing's job will be to find ways to cut through that noise.

I think on the 18th pre order for DATV soundtrack will be available. If we get access to song titles those usually spoil plot points and the overall structure of the game.

We just have to survive ragebaiter, grifter and fascho review bombing. We will make it, Andraste willing. The review bombing will be the most discouraging. Yea hhtat's why I don' tpa yattention normal yt oreviews anymor eonl wha tI see an dwha tI see looks good. As I've said m yonl yconcern is comba tand the fas tpace i ttakes oin th egame. I'm hoping tha twith Bioware's accessibility options I can get through i twithout needing the god mode. Outsid eof tha tI'm liking everything I've seen of Veilguard it's jus ta case of playing it now for me. I am planning on getting bac kto DAI onc eI finishthe main FC25 season I'm playing in career mode.Though I will likely tak eth eodd brea kbetewen playthrough's of m yRPG's t opla ya bit more FC25 as I'v ereall yenjoyed it s ofar.

BioWare has been in trouble for a decade now. Bioware has been in trouble since Jade Empire bombed in sales.

The review bombing will be the most discouraging. I'm expecting: On Metacritic, definitely. Dragon Age II also still has a negative user score. On Steam I think you have to own a copy, so that will be a bit different. Reviews are also labeled on whether the user refunded their copy after writing their review, so it's more transparent what they're doing. They also display scores for all reviews and recent reviews, so I think the latter will improve with time.

Bioware has been in trouble since Jade Empire bombed in sales. BioWare has been in trouble since Shattered Steel failed to adequately balance graphical fidelity with performance.

Just look at this example.

I expect a lot of 0/10 and 10/10 on Metacritic, and while Steam can be ofc review bombed, but as you said it's much more transparent.

If you're having fun with the game, who gives a shit? I play Earth Defense Force games. Games that look like they came out of the early Xbox 360 era and have the jankiest mechanics you'd ever see. The games also have a REALLY fun combat loop.
Like I've told some of the people here when Andromeda released, whether or not the game had mixed reception, if you're enjoying it then have fun with it and stop worrying about what other people say. Only taking in what critics say is the quickest way to start disliking something you enjoy (or gaming in general).
