Veilguard looks like it does well in some areas that are important but have little to do with the actual gameplay:
- No DRM
- Great scalability and an incredibly wide choice of settings in graphics and UX
- Looks good
- Runs without stuttering
- From first impressions it seems like an actually finished product for once, but we'll see about the bugs.
So on one hand I want Veilguard to sell well so bean counters can maybe draw some conclusions, on the other hand it's still EA and writing appears to be even more uninspired than ME:Andromeda.
I saw some steam reviews and looks like the game crashs a bunch and you can't change some important hotkeys like the movements one.
Execs never draw proper conclusions.
If this sells well, they’ll believe they can save a lot of money by not properly animating faces or something equally awful.
Tried it but had to stop because of horrendous audio tearing and audio de-sync problems. Judging by Steam, Reddit and EA support posts many people have them. Ugh.
