‘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 also having a blast. i was afraid when I heard some things like exploration got streamlined, but after playing I relaxed. they nailed it.

I'm so glad that EA took the shackles off and let Bioware cook. cause I'm already planning another playthrough after the first one.

i agree with judging it on its own. it has some strengths from other games in the series and improves on so many areas. even little improvements to things most people don't even notice.

its great and I'm having fun.
