I see the lackluster digital sales figures from the uk are coming in. You know I really do enjoy this game apart from the ptsd inducing netcode issues a la bf4 coming into this game, however this is what happens when you cater to forum rats aka forum fan boys (not forum participants) youtubers and redditors. You see there is a whole big silent majority out there that actually loves this game, heck i even bought the premier origin and standard editions of this game! Thats over 150 dollars that I gave to this company in support no matter how much flak dice and ea get. But now, the silent majority has spoken, and its not all bc of “sjw” and historical inaccuracies its because the gameplay is frankly, poo poo. And when you have someone say “dont buy it” well, candidly speaking, they wont buy it! Lets stop kidding ourselves here, ok? Also like I said before nOoNE WAnTeD WW2!!! I want this game to succeed more than the loudest forum rat on here I really do, and seeing how this is my only game that I play, this absolutely hurts and worries me. Because I know my favorite franchise may be in jeopardy, and this is coming from a bf1942 fanboy, dice & ea, Im praying for you. Im going to still play until the ship goes down but let this be a dire warning to everyone.
I just want to add changing core mechanics of the game did not encourage sales like some people said it would. I’m talking about the no spotting , partial health med pack non-sense, and low ammo. These were pretty much the same from BFBC2 thru BF 1. Then because some YouTuber or whoever thought it was a great idea, they changed everything. Peoples played the beta , got reked because these mechanics were gone, and on top of that DICE tells them not to buy it because they are on a SJW mission, To expect a different outcome was idiocy.
I wanted WWII Battlfield, not another modern military shooter. We had enough of those.
Problem is that DICE delievered not proper WWII, only sort of. I was hoping for a BF1 just in a WWII setting. And yes I know I know BF1 is not a proper WWI game either, but it felt more like it than BFV feels like WWII.
I didn’t want WW2 and I especially don’t want lazy remasters of old maps from prior battlefield games. But majority rules and ill hope for Vietnam next game.
My conversation with you is done after this mickey. That poll came from reddit and here. Did you talk to the average 9-5, double and triple shift workers who make up for the the most of the demographics of the sales? Did you talk to the console owners who make up a MaJOrITy of this game sales??? The sales figures dont lie, Fivel. Via con dios.
Could you imagine the jungles with these graphics it would be epic. I would also hope that games after Vietnam would follow an alternative history and open up the globe for map selection. Ignore modern warfare if the real world and step into modern fantasy setting for WW3.
Perhaps the next pole they do should be linked into the news feed on consoles perhaps then everyone could have a voice as the vast majority of the player base do not come to these forums. Unless its to complain.
And this is why if you came to the forums u would think there were hundreds of dead servers based on the complaints, when in fact I see thousands of full/near full servers in just NA
The game has a lot of potential and I really wanted to see WWII from a battlefield perspective. Sadly, it’s pretty clear someone at EA rammed this launch through and forced DICE to release a game that was not going to be ready for another 6 months. It’s weird to see all these triple A developers screwing something up that by now for them should be just another day at the office.
The bigger problem is we got a version of WWII that people just weren’t interested in. People wanted a more authentic, Saving Private Ryan style vision of WWII. “DICE’s lens” (as they call it) including female soldiers, unknown battles, war stories that alter the original history, etc, just isn’t resonating with the fans who wanted a return to WWII.
