A lot of time focusing on the biggest toughest enemy will get you killed because the lesser enemies are damaging you from range unhindered but if you take them out, the focus on the tough one it's a lot easier.

You can't lose the fights in Veilguard if you don't play Veilguard.

Looking forward to the real reviews this week

[stormkeeper]

I don't get the hate. I was skeptical at first but I've been enjoying it.

Why does the combat UI look like a mobile gacha game?

[erikkemme]

Why all the hate? I’m like 6 hours in and the environments are linear but like in a GoW 3 sorta way, set pieces are gorgeous, and combat is really solid. What do you want, it’s got swords and dragons and things go boom. Y’all are some clowns fr. Game is really good.

I’m playing it and it sucks. Such a joke compared to the depth in inquisition. The bad guys? They look stupid. Corypheus was actually threatening - when he destroyed haven that was bad ass. The writing, the language in inquisition - how does everyone not realize this reads like a book for a 5th grader? The game is a steaming pile. And I’m going to play it because I paid for it, hoping, like many of you, the negative reviews were over done - but they weren’t, in fact I don’t think they were harsh enough. Whoever wrote the dialogue in this game should never be afforded the opportunity to do so again.

[talenroberts]

Here come the weirdos claiming they won’t play it but find every opportunity to talk about it 😂

[tengma]

the game is now released.
I will wait a few hours for the user review

[hotrome]

It's really repetitive and honestly disengaging.

[RedRaner]

these mfs got bored of thrashing silent hill and it didnt work so they moved on to dragons age lmao

[StarBoundFables]

Thanks for the useful tips! I'm looking forward to playing DA: Veilguard

Gotta love people are so punctual to hate lmao. Barely been five minutes since this video dropped, but there’s comments being bitchy already. Don’t love IGN either, but this isn’t IGN hate and it shows lmao

[brittanywinko]

So this is probably a stupid question — i accidentally pressed a button combination that took away the option to change to off hand weapon and also no ability wheel. Any ideas how to fix? I reset to default gameplay controls but didn’t fix

[landonewts]

OK, haters we get it, you’re not going to play the game - and for some reason you think we all need to know that. But some of us are truly enjoying the game. Maybe go find something you DO enjoy, and play that.

[utgardekeep]

Don't mind me. Just here to check out the comments.

[Ladiesman-jskt]

This game is awesome, corrected all of my issues with Inquisition.

[Kilo_]

Can someone please tell me what Strike damage comes from or Smash damage, it dosnt say anywhere what it comes from?

[alexhammond]

The most powerful attack is misgendering someone.
