DragonAge is ... rough ❤️ but it runs really well and I'm only just getting started with it. It's been over a decade since the last one so I'll take whatever at this point obviously 🤣
Every game I'm playing now is just temporary until Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 comes out in the spring ... that is ALL I care about ❤️
I can't really give any kind of impression of #DragonAge at this time because I'm not really into it yet. So far it's ... basic? But I'm going off of playing Dragon Age games since the first one in 2009.
DragonAge changes. It always changes and shifts up and you have to kind of take it how it comes. The Bioware of the golden gaming age is long gone and there is no point lamenting that. Long gone are the Mass Effect 2 days and the DragonAge Inquisition days ...
I'm just glad to have games TO PLAY at this point given how badly the gaming industry is collapsing and also how racist, phobic and utterly rancid the gaming community has become in the past decade. I'm not going to complain about something that isn't 1000% perfect to my standards. I like gaming for a variety of reasons and I have 25 games CURRENTLY in my Steam library that I have yet to play. I'm not aching for games. DragonAge is FINE for me and if I get tired of it I will play something else.
Not every game is made for every gamer ... I'm not sure why that needs to be said. It's important for you to figure out what boxes you have that need to be ticked in order to get whatever you want to get out of your gaming experience. Games are made by developers for a variety of reasons and a variety of different types of gamers, that doesn't make them bad just because they may not appeal to you. Find something that does. There's a bazillion kinds of games out in the world.
I played DragonAge Veilguard for about ... 30 minutes before I got bored and switched to something else. At the moment I just don't feel like running around in a large world but I might tomorrow or over the weekend. I'm in the mood for something that is a bit more cerebral and DragonAge is more of an action RPG which just isn't want I want to experience RIGHT NOW. That doesn't mean it's BAD. It just means I may come back to it later when I'm in a more action rpg mood. It's FINE as a game.
The keyword being ... GAME.
It's a game and there are THOUSANDS of games out there that probably many people don't even know exist because they don't branch out of their preferred boxes. That's fine but not every game is designed for your preferred boxes and if you're waiting around for that perfect game that gives you want you want you may not find it. You may need to branch out and try new things instead of imposing your selfish wants on games that may not be for you.
I like the fast paced combat in #DragonAge, I like the voice work, I like the graphics especially on a high end rig like mine and the monster 55" gaming screen I have. It looks AMAZING and runs like a dream. I can't speak for the plot because I only got through the prologue so far. It is fine. I had fun. It's pretty. The character creator is EXTENSIVE ... I think I was creating my character longer than I actually played the game 🤣 I will probably go back to it tomorrow 👍🏾
Now if they made a #DragonAge game that was a squad based, turn based, strategy, deck builder RPG I would be there with BELLS ON ❤️ But they never will and there are plenty of those games out there for me to play. I'm not going to impose my wants and wishes on a game that is clearly an action RPG.
I think people need to step back and relax and find games they actually like instead of shitting on games they don't.
It just makes zero sense to me and is a waste of time and energy.
The game that is taking up most of my time is #MAESTRO in VR. You get to conduct a friggen orchestra and what's better than that?????
If you're not into such things that's fine. It just means the game isn't for you and that's fine too.
Find what excites you. Find what works for you and ticks your boxes and enjoy it.
