I feel that the game is probably awesome but EA left a bad taste in my mouth. They release a game that is very similar to the last one, some day it’s a dlc, leaving bf4 buggy while focusing on the dlc. Charging for a dlc while keeping the old one buggy. I’m not a fan of this. My bf4 game crashes every 15 minutes now. This will never be fixed. Bf4 was the only reason I was using Windows so I may just install Linux and do the steam thing.
I would have preferred calling a spade a spade, calling it a dlc, fixing bugs, then I would have entertained the idea of paying for it.
I am, fuck ea. Never bought any of their games since bf4. They give you 1/10 of a game for 60$ and keep selling you the rest. They can go fuck themselves at the bank.
Yes, for two reasons:
-
I’m not interested in cops and robbers. I want a battlefield game.
-
if it’s a good game now, it’ll be a good game in a year when:
A) it actually works after a dozen or more patches
B) it costs 1/4 of the new release price
C) I don’t have to put up with 2000 whiny 12-year-olds bitching endlessly every time a bug shows up.
I’m not boycotting it, but I’m not rushing into it or paying full price either. I’ll wait till its working properly and I can get it with all the dlcs for a good price.
what other games have they released since BF4?
The game is NOT BF4. It is faster paced, tons of action and a lot of dying. I luv it! I am currently playing of half full servers for tons of fun. Full servers seem too crowded for map size, but there is definitely fun to be had. Have not notices any bugs upon retail release.
Boycotter here. As someone that’s supported their products since bad company. It’s left a sour taste in my mouth. Plus if I’m playing cops and robbers I’ll go play payday.
Cops and robbers not for me. Stupid idea, full on combat between police and criminals. Really stupid and outlandish.
But titanfail has about 8 different guns and no sense of replayability. The game play is good but not good enough to cover it’s lack of content.
Dice made a “cops and robbers” game. That’s fine. Dice made a “cops and robbers” game and put the Battlefield label on it. That’s not OK. Battlefield is defined by its army background. Game series CAN change over time, but they should stick to their roots if they take on the same name. IMO, all Battlefield titles should be comparable to BF1942: big maps, lots of vehicles, and epic scale. They just shouldn’t have called it “Battlefield: Hardline”; just “Hardline”. I like DICE, they make awesome games. It crap like when EA forced DICE to release BF4 early that drives me bonkers. Is it worth supporting that kind of behavior? The $60 I still have in my wallet says “no”.
While there is some balance issues, I don’t think there’s any game breaking bugs or anything.
The game is different than the battlefield im used to it has a completely different feel. Ive put over 600hrs into bf4 most by myself but I dont have that same pull to play hardline by myself. With that said I am not boycotting the game, just waiting till my friends get it
