‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ User Scores Split As Predictably As Possible (www.forbes.com)

Dragon Age: The Veilguard arrived with pretty solid critic scores, racking up an 84 on Metacritic, translating into what appear to be pretty solid sales, at the very least, putting up the highest playercount EA or BioWare has seen on Steam, with seemingly good console performance as well.

But after the critic reviews come in, user scores go live, and it was exceptionally easy to predict how they were going to split between players who had played the game, and ones that likely hadn’t. See if you can spot the difference.

Steam – 77% “Mostly Positive” scores
PlayStation – 4.45/5 stars
Xbox – 4/5 stars
Metacritic – 3.4/10

You can guess which three platforms there require you to own the game to rate it, and which one does not.

It is a good game, from the four ratings I would align myself with the 77% from Steam.

My biggest critic so far, 12h in, would be that the language they use and the way they speak is way to modern for a fantasy game for my liking. It often makes it a bit hard to immerse into the game for me when they use 21th century words or concepts or mannerisms.

Does it sound like a teen drama on the cw or just general modern people talk?

I had both but the teen drama sounding parts were less then the general but I have not yet played much further so not sure how it gets later on the game.
