At the current rate it might not even break BG3's concurrent player count.
I mean the one right now, not their peak.

I was hoping for Forespoken numbers, but I guess I was expecting too much from baizuo.

The concurrent player count increase rate is declining below 2,000 per second.

Steam store page is now showing 25 reviews for the game. It is currently labeled mixed at ~52%.

In other news, Heel vs Babyface is live streaming the game, like he did Concord, so you can watch the game without having to pay for it and monetarily supporting BioWare and EA.

Man, this game is so ******* whack.

The story is cringe and pathetic, let alone the actual pacing, and characters.

No-one thinks fighting 'Gods' is cool, unless you also like Marvel.

TEN ******* YEARS and...this slop is what I get? After 10 year of waiting I have to see the curvy FEMALE Qunari lady from the concept art turned into a They/Them? I ******* called it too, the reason they were barely showing anything about Taash right up until release. From the moment 'Corrine' Busch insisted that ALL the companions weren't player-sexual they were PAN-sexual I knew, I knew in my ******* gut this was going to be a degenerate disaster.

EA can copyright strike all it wants, the game comes out tomorrow. I've lost all respect for Mortismal, Slandered Gaming, and Renfail.

Dragon Age II was slapped together in like, what, 14 months? It accounted for 20-ish choices from the previous game. Inquisition took into account a similar number across two games. TEN YEARS and I get THREE choices taken into account, can't escape or ignore they/them PRONOUN ********, and have to watch Isabella do a ******* STRUGGLE SESSION?!!

I hate gay race communism. I hate Blackrock and Vanguard. I hate the Synagogue of Satan.

I'll be playing Origins on release day. I MIGHT get this, when it's 60-80% off in a few months and some mods to make it somewhat bearable are available. Maybe, though now...very unlikely.

God, I hate feeling like I wasted ten years waiting for an epic conclusion to this story arc about Solas, the Black City, and the Fade. 'Trick' Weekes and his pet elf can be remembered as the final nail in EaWare's coffin. **** 'em.
Yes all true and apparently all of the competent BW devs (that still hadn't left post Inquisition) quit the studio after EA pulled the plug on what was back then, in 2016, called project Joplin (DA4) which needless to say had an entire different vision, to help the beta boy cocksuckers who were working on Mass Effect: Andromeda. And they still failed to meet fans' expectations even after ME3 lowered the bar so drastically lol. Wtf

Console yourself knowing that Dragon Age was meant as a one and done project; the original team didn't vision any sequels and I'm not even sure if its expac ‘Awakening’ was planned or if EA forced them to make it after Origins' success. I think either Darrah or Gaider alluded to this fact in an interview I watched years ago

Strangely Steam is still claiming the game has no user reviews on the store page. Seems like there's an arbitrary review timer that blocks review scores from appearing on just released games for a few hours.
Yes, Steam does that to prevent review bombing right at release.

You're just given a key + a code to access a different build, but it still counts as the base game's playtime.

video game outlets that should know better acting like he worked on BG3 shouldn't be surprising to me, but somehow it still is
he was basically in charge of getting the game on consoles, and I'm not referring to the technical process of making it work on consoles

I wouldn't say modders made the game better for the majority of the playerbase (mods removing or blocking woke trash). You only find them here pretty much, anything else from Nexus to any patreon page will either be neutral/normal or be one of those low rated gay mod adding a **** to shadowheart or a pussy to Wyll.
I know of at least 3 modding sites that host "mods removing woke trash", but I get what you are trying to say. Nexus is one wrong step away from a more (ironically) inclusive site taking their spot.

Ironically, Veilguard has already been cracked (in case someone wants to suffer a playthrough).

Review percentage has increased to ~64% at 152 reviews.
This might hit a positive review score unfortunately. Not sure how Starfield had a bad review score on Steam but not this game.

You can treat it as a standalone title. The first game is actually entirely self-contained with all the DLC imo. Not every thread needs to be wrapped up, the ending is fine.

It's an okay, middling game. It became popular mostly because of the RPG desert at the time. Combat is alright, but you can see the proto-DEI ambiance creeping in.

But products of your culture says otherwise! Judging by movies, cartoons and news of this period, you westoids bullied random people to death with no big reason, just for fun. Tabletop nerds, videogame nerds, book nerds weren't left alone, they were bullied, sometimes till suicide.
Yeah bro this never happened. Ask literally anyone around the country who went to a white school and you'll hear: "luckily we never had any of that at my school (so everywhere else must have been REALLY bad)". Nobody connects the dots and realizes that all it is is inner-city **** who got bullied by niglets rewriting their resentment to a palatable 'blame well-off whites' for mass media consumption.
