Good

They crap all over lore, the voice acting is cartoonish. Things that used to float because of "fade going crazy" in inquisition somehow still floats in veilguard solely because they thought it looked good. Too many damn things happen they just write it off to "ancient elf magic" The game itself runs like crap and will crash for the weirdest things. Character will spawn in a new area with his feet stuck in the map, crashes during fast traveling etc. Area's of the map are locked (some behind doors) behind force fields that freeze progression and are unlocked for the most part by minor things like companion quests which completely kill's any sort of exploration you want to do on your own. Talking darkspawn used to be a very rare thing now they grow like wild flowers. Wardens can't leave the order unless they had very special circumstances like Fiona and Alistair or simply ran away like Anders. Now they just do whatever you want including spending all you time in a city sipping wine when your the first freaking warden. They re-use old voice actors that people loved from old characters to new characters that are much much worse. Every single character in the game will give you (f me) eyes for the most random and non sexually suggestive dialogue. For instance you can talk to the warden guy about warden stuff and randomly he will just shoot you that look and its kinda off putting as none of the conversation was leading in that direction at all. Most of the time the game will treat you like a prepubescent teenager in one min and another you are watching people getting ripped in half with blood everywhere. They clearly couldn't decide on the age range of the game. Every single follower has some sort of special ability that only they can do in the world taking away anything unique from the characters themselves that also inhibits exploration as well. I can go on and on. In short the devs really don't give a crap about the story, the characters, the world, the customers, the lore hell even the game itself seems like it was given up on so they can move everyone to the next trash fire that is ME5. And to think I used to be a Bioware fan. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone that loved the old games.

When I bought this game and beat it on release week it ran perfectly fine at high settings with only a few minor bugs such as slightly longer loading times in new areas. In it's current state I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. Just started my first replay of the game since it came out and its almost unplayable. Audio overlaps if not just stop working all together. The game itself glitches out almost every single area you are in. In the first 20 mins I fell though the map three times in the first 20 mins all leading to memory leaks and not letting me access the menu to load a save to fix it. Physics will just randomly bug out now will cloaks or items flying all over the place. Now when you load a new cell it can be up to a minute just waiting to go through a door. I feel like in the span of time I wasn't playing the game was patched for players who don't meet the system requirements anyway. To be blunt there is no excuse for the game that worked perfectly fine before to be in this state. Get your act together Port Key. It's not exactly making me want to buy your new quidditch champions game.

Legit one of the best VN's I've played in years. Good humor that lands and jaw dropping renders. The story so far is pretty interesting as well. If you're second guessing getting this one don't its well worth it. I'm looking forward to book 2.

Honestly I'll give this a solid 6. The story started off great then became overly focused on who is and isn't actually blood related . Not to mention a crossover that felt really out of place for Artemis. Would have made sense to use the law service or something from that game and use it for a chunk of the chapter instead of going for Artemis herself.

Worth the sale price. The AI needs a little bit of work but its alpha so it can be ironed out later. The building mechanics seem pretty straight forward and so far it's been entertaining.

It plays decent as a singleplayer game. I say decent because it can still crash randomly when it loses connection to the server. Everyone in our group has great internet speeds yet this game will disconnect you all the time while in coop. The game itself has a shared save feature that almost doesnt make up for anything as the game will also crash if your playing on your own in a shared save. The multiplayer in this is absolute garbage and I don't recommend this to anyone that wants to play coop.

If you want a fallout experience on a game that can actually handle mods w/o crashing new vegas or fallout 3 is the way to go. I have 0 hope for star field as hyped as it is.

This game was amazing before they made everything way too easy for people that don't know how to game.

So far its fun and runs decently well with little bugs. Biggest gripe though is I've never Rolled so many 1's on a dice game in my life it's pretty insane. Compared to other dice games I've played something just feels off. Edit* I noticed that weighed dice was on by default as soon as I turn it off my rolls felt balanced.
