Ok, the main problem with dragon age Veilguard.

Creators must have written out the dialogue for a much younger audience, so they can understand what's going on. That made the conversations very flat and verbose. It's extremely unnatural to an older reader.  If you took the same plot, and made it normal speech, it's fine, no better or worse than any other vidya.

Older people are not the audience, and given that no one ever needs to grow up anymore, well, they turn to drinking haterade.

Doom eternal, too much or too little platforming? Thoughts.

You ever played the Yakuza games? Think they'd be right up your street.
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Infinite Wealth is a very good game. After the first 2 hours of setting up the story(yeah, it takes that long for every Yakuza game) the game basically turns into like 75 different mini games that are all quite fun and easy to get sidetracked with for a week.

I think Yakuza games get better and better as they lean more into ridiculousness and absurdity.
