Dont forget to release free demo

Before Andromeda was released, absolutely un-EA move happened and we got chance to play demo.
I spend whole day replaying that short showcase because I really enjoyed the gameplay and ended buying the game, despite having zero interest in it few days before.
I think I actually preordered it because I bought it like 2 hours before launch.

I would really like Bioware back and I would really like another awesome RPG game especially new Dragon Age.
But so far there is absolutely nothing interesting, so far everything that was shown makes me not even want to bother with pirating it.

But maybe the marketing team sucks too and maybe some part of the game can actually be fun. It would be nice to have chance to try it out on your own before deciding.

One thing I've noticed about Bioware is their gameplay has really improved under EA. While ME3, Andromeda and Anthem had their issues, the gameplay was pretty good in all of them. Since both of them are shooters with jet packs for extra mobility, you can compare Andromeda and Starfield. Andromeda is much better, faster and more fluid.

I'm hoping they continue that trend with Veilguard.

I tend not to play demos. Particularly, in story focused games because I don't want to spoil myself. However, it could be a good move, if only because it might help them find some bugs prior to release.

But then people might notice that the game is not good. Not a good business strategy.

Andromeda isnt perfect, but there are way worse games being completely overhyped.

That gameplay sold it to me tho, you have access to pretty much all abilities from the original trilogy and some of new ones and all at once, there is basically no class system.
Movement, dashes, jumps, generic shooting feels very fun.
And crafting gear and armour, especially since you can add tons of modifiers to weapons, like no stupid magazines, is tons of fun too.

I played through the game many times and spend some hours in multiplayer too.
But yeah, every time I play through it, those stupid openworld filler quests or those outright RNG quests you have no control over can go felate a ceiling fan.

So far I have seen absolutely nothing interesting in this game, it looks like the most generic, uninteresting, unimaginative, modern gaming era sludge and half of it looks like they just quickly removed multiplayer from it.
But maybe getting your hands on it to play it for yourself, there might be something interesting in it.

In my opinion it would be a very good idea, but I have a feeling that nothing will come out of it (in the past they had talked about releasing a character creator demo but they seem very doubtful about it, although favorable as an idea) maybe because they prefer to spend their time focusing on the last things to fix in the game before the release date or maybe for fear of receiving heavier criticism.

Personally I would be very curious to know how the game runs without having a super powerful computer... since they had also talked about it saying that they focused a lot on making it run on various PCs, it would be a great idea to release a demo to make sure ;)
