‘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.

I am liking the game so far. I am only couple of hours in, though. But the most common complaint that dialogue is cringe is patently false, imo. I love action games and I am enjoying the combat.

I’m a die-hard Dragon Age fan, and yeah, there are times when the dialogue is pretty cringey and has all the subtlety of a brick to the face. But I’m really liking the game so far.
