Ah, that’s interesting. And of course, just as important (if not more) than just sales figures. ‘How many people kept playing… and for how long’. Coz Battlefront would have sold a ton… but lost it’s player numbers rapidly.
I had no idea BF4 had more players than BF1. Makes sense tho…
See? That’s another thing. Dice would know that. And if they could be bothered, it would take no time at all to turn up a couple of graphics settings for the Pro & X users and create some good will. But their priorities are all outta whack. I still think it’s crazy they keep cranking out content in Battlefront 2 that nobody sees rather than fixing the issues that stop people playing. I’ve literally loaded the game and waited til it throws me in a new map with an empty lobby just to roam around and see the work they’ve put into it… only to never actually play on that map.
Yeah they didn’t break BF4 halfway through and left it to rot.
This reminds me of another weird decision a lot of devs make.
Because I like BF4 so much… but because it’s such an eyesore on xbox… I went and bought it cheap for PC. I waned to play the DLC maps I remember loving that none of the servers on xbox are even running. But i noticed a couple of servers with DLC on pc. I got the game for next to nothing… but then… the ‘season pass’ from years ago was still full price on the EA store.
I’d already paid full price for premium on xbox. This game was old as hell. I don’t know why they don’t always eventually give up the DLC for free. It’s a great move for everyone. New players keep player numbers bubbling, and the players that have paid for all their dlc years ago continue to get to use their dlc maps. Everyone is happy. As it stands, I now own 2 copies of BF4, and because I’m not gonna pay full price for the DLC a 2nd time, I have vanilla maps to play in both versions. It’s senseless. They’re not making any money off old DLC really.
Bro their was tons of people suing and threatening to pull funding, during BF4 it was bad
The coloring of this forum background with the white lettering hurts the hell outta my eyes.. I read most but yea, not gonna read ALL that.. I assume youre just summarizing why you no longer trust DICE/EA, which I agreed with..
Let me turn this around on you and ask, whats wrong with people? They think its mandatory for others to read everything they wrote before responding when the point has already been made, when the statement is already clear?
Lol sorry but not everyone is going to quote every point you make and praise you on it..
Yea, more than anything, bf4 is the story of how a game can be changed from bad to good if the work is put in.
Definitely! Battlefield 1 saved DICE in the end tho
Now theybneed another Hit again with the next title, something that will draw people in Like Battlefield 1 did.
There’s all that stuff in there though! People like tweet-length information and not arguments with supporting facts. This is why most people can’t have a discussion about anything beyond the headline they’ve heard or read.
Just tell people what to think in a headline and they’ll run with it.
You know I’m not the OP, right?
I hate to admit it in this unoriginal, creative void of remasters & reboots… but I’d be all over a 4k remaster of any of BC2, BF3 or BF4. At least we’d know what we were getting & that it was a great game.
Problem is… it wouldn’t guarantee they didn’t do something stupid like omit local servers or a server browser.
I did not realize that comment was coming from just somebody random, wouldnt expect anyone but the OP to make a response like that. Thats just odd. Maybe you havnt been around that long but the “wall of text” is a legitimate complaint on these forums..
Write them a formal letter, doing this here for the 1000000000000th time is very pointless.
Open letter to the OP.
Legitimately don’t care what you think.
I agree to TS. I remember how me and my friends played BF3 and BF4 for a few months every day. BFV did not pass even 2 weeks Rubicon. There are a lot of good thing in it, but bugs, lack of content and crap balance made their job.
Closed letter to you… Ditto.
its a product like any other, quit being simple
