Chairae 最近的评测

I have played this for the first time back in 2011 and I have been replaying it again with a fresh mind now - I couldn't remember any of the story nor the gameplay.
Dragon Age II has a lot of flaws, but it's a hidden gem. While you're forced to navigate through the same areas over and over again, the combat is fun - sometimes challenging - and the story and characters totally make up for it.
After being dissatisfied with Veilguard, I really needed the feel of a good ol Dragon Age and I wasn't disapponted.

Please mind that this game is 13 years old at this point, some mechanics are outdated and missing - there's no way to jump, for example. I'd also recommend installing a few qol mods. Otherwise still very much playable and fun!

Dragon Age is dead and we have killed it.

Or, to reference the game

I have played Dragon Age the Veilguard and I have found it empty.



I'll start with saying that I gave a positive review because the combat is fun and the settings are stunning and I said that I would have updated after playing some more, due to the fact that in 4 hours it's not possible to talk much about the story, characters development and depth.

I miss the old writing. I have given this game many chances and I have tried my best to play it without prejudices, but it's so clear that the writers had no idea about how to write their characters.

To say it in a dumb way, it feels like you're reading a bad fanfiction.

Characters often repeat the same sentences over and over, it's impossible to have meaningful 1 to 1 interactions with any of them. Not once they have been serious - two gods are using blight to destroy the world and they're laughing about Solas and Mythal doing the deeds, are you for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ real? While they're all hanging around a table on the couch laughing and spending time together like good little friends.
The narration is so out of place it hurts. Who wrote this has no idea of what good writing is.

Also the voice acting is TERRIBLE. I don't know if what was lacking was the direction, but it's just not it. They have no idea of what they're saying.

I really wish I could recommend this game, because I am having fun, but the roleplaying mechanic is gone, writing is bad and it feels like they were too scared to write a meaningful deep plot - or/and they were just not capable of doing so.

If this game was not called "Dragon Age", I would give it a thumb up. They should have made a new ip and I want to show my disappointment because this is NOT what we should have gotten after 10 years. This is NOT what the fans deserved. We have been playing Dragon Age for the writing, because of the emotions the game made us feel.

This story is lifeless.

Pros
+ amazing and lively world
+ crafting system
+ night/day mechanic
+ 13 hours in and I feel like I haven't even uncovered 1/10 of the map
+ improved AI - I have noticed the difference especially in coop
+ (everyone said this already but) you can now jump and ride a mount

Cons
- framerate, it's horrible
- bad bad porting

Mixed
~ just my personal take but I'd love to use my mount also in coop
~ the item you need for coop feels kinda useless to me, you can farm many flowers pretty much easily so picking flowers + crafting them kinda feels like a waste of time.

Just my two cents but I'd highly advice to get it for console or wait for some other patches to enjoy the game to the fullest.
It's a true, true gem, but the porting is terrible and might make you want to refund your game.

Got no real life anymore. Rip

I just want the badge.
... Good game tho.

It's a living bug but a nice 'loading' message simulator. 10/10 would loading-loop again

Not dark souls.
Thumbs down

Ancor prima di poterci giocare, ho sentito solo pareri positivi riguardo questo titolo, e adesso ne capisco il motivo.
Il gameplay è avvincente, i combattimenti sono ben strutturati, c'è una buona varietà di armi/vigor e sin dal primo momento in cui ho iniziato a giocare, sono stata totalmente coinvolta dall'ambientazione - motivo per il quale ho deciso di acquistare il triple pack.
Lo consiglio vivamente, è una perla, un videogioco da recuperare assolutamente se non ci avete mai giocato!
