I don't mind Joe's reviews as he puts much time and effort into them but I don't have it in me to sit through more Dragon Age-related content. I just can't.

What can even be said anymore at this point?
It’s funny how you’ve seen too much, and I’ve yet to see 1 second of gameplay. It took my months to finally see that last Star Wars game’s gameplay too. I guess when I go dark on games, I go all in.

Dude needs to be way more timely with these. Ive noticed for quite awhile he's slipped big time.

I get that he doesnt really have to be on the ball much anymore since he had his moment and made his money and all that happy shit, but come on man

The Veilguard drama seems like it was already over a month ago. Who gives a shit.

Angry Joe: "It's like playing [bowling] with bumper guards" is a good quotable from his review.
Also when he says the RP parts of this RPG are forced and give you no choice at all.

What's the point of playing if all the choices have been stripped away? Companions don't ever die, in combat you only have to walk away to avoid attacks. Dumb pimples to attack to unblock the path to the objective, incredibly cringe and repetitive dialogue. Companions telling you all what to do like a 5 years old and so much more bullshit.

Like, there was no limit at all to how the series has been simplified for a targetted audience who probably never gave a damn about Dragon Age before. And it's only going to alienate the old time fans.

LMAO at that dragon boss where it’s “side step his telegraphed attack, attack while he’s stunned, repeat for 30 minutes”. Then there’s a second phase with 2 heads and a third phase with 3 heads.

Joe doesn't do nearly as many reviews these days, it's mostly TV and movie reviews, but when he does review games and especially when he hates them, he delivers.

Fun review, eventhough I am skipping the skits and the shouting. I am glad he eviscerated it. I went back and rewatched all three of his previous DA reviews, he is not lying when he says he loved those. DAO got 9, DA2 got 7 and DAI got 9 again. Meanwhile DAV had him destroying pimples and getting his soul destroyed by the terrible dialogue.

Ow, didn't even know that Joe was still doing gaming review, i thought his channel was all about mediocre shows and movies, unsubbed some years ago when he moved from games.

Dragon age Veilguard went to far, in terms of the easy decisions (dialogue, graphics, especially the characters) and only makes the desire for an origins remake even more so.

Decent review. Skits were funny. Laughed a few.

He notes the devs forgot the pronouns of one of the characters themselves. lol

The choices for the characters seem tame - like the game is a safe space RPG.
