Apex legends is absolute trash.
You misunderstand.
Yep two totally different games with one problem - They’re both battle royales. In the same way voting fatigue works in terms of society and voting for your local government or national, continuously pushing the same thing onto people will eventually burn them out. A lot of people have felt this with BRs lately especially with the overexposure fortnite got. In the instance of Apex Legends, it became very successful, very quickly to the point where its even eclipsed fortnites initial growth.
With that on the table firestorm will be hard pressed to lure any of the people who play legends to it as BF5 is fundamentally different from most of the previous incarnations this will leak into firestorm, while its not being made by dice on a certain level it will contain the same flaws which will immediately reduce the interest people have.
You must understand that the goal with games these days is to garner a high player count so that investment in the product is worth it (I do wish the old days where games were intended to be fun was still a thing). Yeah we’re all battlefield fans - but we aren’t enough here. Most of us never wanted a BR which will hurt the mode by default. Apex Legends has now cornered the market on the genre/mode and so ultimately who will play it? BR players have Apex. BF players have every other mode in the game. Its pretty bleak imo.
I appreciate the positive outlook but ultimately its about numbers. EA is obsessed with BRs now if their quarterly earnings statement was anything to go by they emphasised BFs lack of a battle royale at launch as a key reason why they failed and not the poorly built nature of BF5. Which leads me to believe Firestorm was something they were hoping would bring in a lot of sales of the game; alternatively of course it could just be them trying to avoid blame for the products failure but im inclined to believe the latter, no large company would admit failure willingly. They would be too busy protecting their reputation with investors.
I think I just realised where Levelcap gets his video ideas from…everyone on the forum say hei lol
I sure hope they have a backup plan
Me too. I hope I am very much wrong. Really - I actually hope firestorm is a success because it would help BF5 a lot but…I have one major flaw though…Im a realist (also known as a pessimist to some).
I just don’t understand why any BR player is going to go away from the main ones for this. BR games for me are like a quickie. I can’t imagine spending hours and hours playing these games. I must have like 50 kills in Apex or something. Not even. There is a guy with 10K kills lol. It just blows my mind that this is what people do with their lives. Collecting loot for 6-8 minutes and then having a little and mostly lame firefight is what kids are into now. LOL.
Hopefully it’s not bad. Will we be able to choose a class in that sense dropping down into the hotzone or will it be the same as any other BR? Doesn’t makes sense when you drop in a hotzone with firewalls surrounding around you though imo.
I’m sorry but I have to say Apex Legends is a better game than BFV with all of the BFV content. The new BFV battle royal game mode is frustrating, boring, it causes depression for me at least. I’ve just uninstalled it. BFV seems the end part of the BF series for me.
Apex Legends is fun, the graphic style and control is like the old Unreal Tournament or Quake Arena games. You have heroes with special abilities like in Overwatch and you can unlock new heroes for free. The whole game is also free. But not the free part is the most important but the fun part. If you want to commit suicide I suggest BFV. If you want to feel happy and not to be angry and disappointed because you die again and again (it will happen in Apex also) play Apex. In Apex you return the game with the speed of the light and you not feel so much that you only wasted your time.
Try Apex, and forget the boring emptiness and the end of the world without people feeling in BFV. But if you like BFV play it, maybe you are different. Maybe only I have these problems.
Been playing a lot of Apex recently and now tried Firestorm after not playing any BFV for almost week or so.
Wow BFV is so bad in many ways. The vaulting is so awful, the movement feels clunky (and I don’t wan’t apex movement in BFV but still). Everything is just clunky and slow (UI, looting, using gadgets etc).
Firestorm could be a good game, but BFV’s quality issues are just too many. Apex is fun even though I suck at it. BFV is frustrating, because it has all kind of small annoying issues everywere in the game.
Firestorm is the best br I’ve played imo sure the looting and inventory aren’t the greatest but I’m having fun let criterion get more involved with this game.
movement is not clunky, you are just not so good at strafing.
Thank
Your spot on, mate..
Intelligent post to.
I predicted LICE would go broke, soon..
Freedom of speech should never be censored..
There are lots of established youtubers not know for bf who are getting in on the fs band wagon and they like it so if that counts for anything I think it could be a win.
I am not a br player but space lazers, perks, and wall jumping turn me right off a game, played the practice round on legends then thought no thanks.
I don’t think unrealistic bullet sponge space games are in the same class as bf.
Battlefield V has a lot of content? I must be playing the wrong BFV then.
I agree with the rest even though I haven’t played apex.
At this point part of me hopes Dice and EA split so Dice can get back to doing what Dice did so well.
Nah…theyre 2 different “Battle Royale” for me.
APex is for me more like Overwatch a fun shooter and theres not that much tension bcs of this Arcade like playstyle (what I love btw).
Battlefield V Firestorm brings more the PUBG feeling where you are in tension the whole time.
You hear steps coming closer, you hear a tank and hope he dont see you, etc…hope you know what I mean.
Yes both are Battle Royale but completely different…both great on theyr own.
Not sad hypothesis. Brutal fact. This entire game was doomed from the start. The decision by the geniuses in Stockholm to steer a WW2 BF game in the direction of steampunk bizarro-land, really killed THE competitive advantage that would’ve made this great. The other fails that we’ve come to expect from DICE were nails in the coffin. RN, all some scrappy developer would need to do is launch a semi-functional conquest based modern shooter to destroy DICE and BF franchise as we knew it. Come to think of it, DICE has already destroyed it.
With every fad, there are the innovators, the imitators, and then the idiots…
It is bleak. Although I really dislike Apex without full trios, I now have enough people playing where when I want to play the game I can with people. BFV IDK people are just not really playing it much. And this mode is of course rushed, not polished, et cetera. Nobody will care about the game, very similar to the Star Wars experience, even though IMO that game is in a better position.
