Just a heads up to PS5 players that the game can be pre-loaded now. About 82 gigs download, took me 32 mins. Christ, I'm so worried that I'll sit down on Thursday, eager to see how well and fast Steam download goes and it's just 1mb per minute for some reason I am worrying that my Steam download will crap overnight. and I won't be able to play Thursday night after work ...

It feels like a continuation away from what Bioware used to be. There seems to be a lack of choices in the game, dialogue seems forced to be light hearted which was one of the things people had a problem with in Andromeda, combat continues toward action but Bioware has never been successful with action fantasy combat (we'll see how it goes this time), enemy AI looks atm basic, enemy variety looks atm basic. Not commenting on art. Not commenting on writing although writing is going to be a big factor in people's enjoyment ... There's no "red flags" but some people, depending on what they prioritize in games, I can understand if they're disappointed. I think this game is both overhyped and overcriticized. I actually think it's probably ... mid. Just my gut reaction Bioware was never successful with action fantasy combat?? ...What? If there is one thing most people agree on when it comes to their later titles that got pretty meh scores is that, it that combat in those games was really fun. And I'm sorry, but sci-fi combat doesn't really differ THAT much from fantasy combat. The "continuation away from what Bioware used to be" argument is also bizarre to me, since the supposed departure has been complained at for almost as long as the developer exists. I know that people complained that DAO and ME are departures from 'old Bioware', so - if there's one thing that is apparently a constant over decades, is people complaining that Bioware is changing, LOL The combat in Inquisition was never a great representative of good action fantasy combat. If you enjoyed it that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that it was them trying to combine tactical and action in a horrible mix never fully utilizing the benefits of each. The manufactured confusion over people arguing that Veilguard being a departure from old Bioware is an intellectually dishonest one not worth going into. Also DA:O was the spiritual successor (if you played on PC) to BG and regarded as a nice return to PC focused RPGs at the time when people were criticizing them for being console focused

GeForce NOW bros, we're we at? Here, here. I'll go back home from wotk around 8.30 Pm. More than 3 hours after launch. Perhaps Geforce Now will have DATV updated. Perhaps not. And I will go to bed and get up every hour just to check.Also I pre ordered on Steam, and I'm unsure the Steam version will be available on Geforce. We'll see how it goes. I will have 2.5 days with no work so hopefully no patch taking the game down for half a day. Guess I could always download it.

And given that virtually everyone and their dog pointed out that DA draws a lot of its combat elements from Andromeda and Anthem (two companions, combo system, etc) I am entirely unsure why are you making it seem like I'm talking only about DAI (particularly that DAI definitely didn't get 'meh' scores). So, no - I definitely disagree that combat in DA is some sort of huge departure for Bioware; in fact reviews seem to be in agreement that BW is finally nailing the type of combat they want to do across their RPG games, the iterations of which we've already saw years back and which is unique to them

Digital Foundry's PC tech review: This alone shows how much effort went into the game. I don't even need other reviews. If the technical side of a modern AAA game is this polished on release, then there is 99.9% chance the rest of it was crafted with similar care. As a side note - the hate brigade is getting desperate on social media. Majority of people are hyped for the game now and the haters are furiously parroting the same SkillUp/Fextralife quotes all over the place.

I'm starting to see people with not interest in DA being annoyed by it. Now if those people could buy the game to show support to annoy the hate brigade it would be great.

Dai combat was a shift away from action due to how poorly the action combat in da2 was received. Andromeda was a shooter which are fundamentally different combat systems and it took them 3 games to have a decent yet not good shooting experience. When I say Bioware has never successfully done fantasy action combat it is such an undeniably truthful one I do not even know why you are desperately trying to argue the point. I also never said the combat was a departure but the game design as a whole. Also comparisons to mass effect include the corridor areas and wheel, and such things, I would dispute the combat feel because despite some attempts at saying so, shooters are a different experience.
