I am a firm believer that a dissatisfied customer should voice his complaints instead of leaving quietly. There is less of a chance that the establishment will get the wrong idea about why they have fewer customers.
My father has the (bad imo) habit of never going back to a restaurant that seems to have once dropped the food quality without voicing any complaints and to that I tell him: “How will they know if you stopped coming due to a quality related issue and not something unrelated to resaurant such as an accident or moving away to another town etc?”.
He is not going against the forum rules so I do not understand why do you think this thread should be closed.
He is just giving his opinion which is sadly correct about this trashy game.
Don’t understand why people complain about these complaint threads. (Well, except for the game’s ardent defenders, I understand their motivation well enough). What are these forums for if not venting? It’s the same as leaving a bad review for a restaurant. Its an expression of customer displeasure and also a warning for others maybe on the fence to give it a pass. Admittedly DICE shows no sign of reading these or any forum posts, and seems to base its decisions entirely on whim or what Youtubers say but, you know, sometimes a little moaning is about the only satisfaction you can get out of a bad purchase.
I think players coming on to the forum can form an opinion of the game from constructive discussions and not those threads that want attention.
The mods have a penchant for merging threads of the same subject. Please create a new one titled ‘Salty crybabies leaving the game and want you to know about it’.
Back in my day (I sound old here) one did not need to advertise that you were moving on…
I’m saying we are bata testers for EA, Nvidia, Mickysoft,. It is evident with all the mistakes in the OS, Nvidia Drivers, and EA that neither one of these blankness developers experience the frustration we do playing such a broken sphere of disappointments .
Agreed, they tried so hard this time to make the game feel more “real”, the game is seriously lacking the “fun” element, although i’m really enjoy BFV and admire them for having balls to change things that usually work for a Battlefield game, they do need to turn its down a little.
The “war feeling” in previous games is lacking in BFV, but as an FPS game i prefer the gunplay Mechanic in BFV (dispite some weapon variants are way better than others).
It’s just too frustrating to do something that need to be fun like doing Gun’s assignments. There’re just a lot of weird and backward decisions in BFV.
Jeez that sounds exactly like me, I’m not shy after paying 150 smuckers for a good meal to find it happens to be the worst thing since saturated fats additives.
If I don’t let them know what they’re doing wrong they’ll never fix it or change, I love this franchise, I bought this game even with all the Bs that was going around it because I believed in Dice, I don’t anymore and they need to know why
I’ve bought and played every BF (except Hardline) since BF1942. BF2 was the heyday of the franchise, with large maps and squads working together to accomplish an objective.
Heck, I even enjoyed BF Vietnam, but I have to agree with the OP. Teamwork seems to be a thing of the past, it’s now a run and gun mentality. Cheating seems to be rampant, and while I’m not one to accuse someone of hacking, because I suck and some people are exceptional players. But when you see scores of like 56 - 2 k/d ratio, it does make one scratch their head and wonder.
I guess I’m in the minority, because I kind of enjoy the Firestorm gameplay, but the servers are empty and I’ve witnessed the “spotting players” cheat that happens occasionally… probably why the servers are empty.
I bought the game, even after playing the alpha and beta, hoping that Dice would pull a rabbit out of their hat and turn this into a decent game.
Sadly though, if things don’t turn around for the franchise, Ive bought my last BF game… and I don’t believe things will turn around. Money and greed seem to rule the world nowadays and it’s not about making the customer happy with a quality product, it’s about making the investors happy while you produce a mediocre product.
I don’t have quite as angry a feeling as OP but I absolutely understand the sentiment.
Of all the BF games I’ve played (7 of them), bfv is the least exciting to play. We’ve learned essentially that with no Premium comes no content, we’re all basically playing the base game, even those of us who preordered deluxe and spent money as if we bought premium.
And since we’re venting frustrations, I’ll go on.
The maps and overall look of the game seems to be that the idea was to try and astonish and ‘wow’ players with maps that look like heavily processed 4k still landscape images. The colors are way too bright and over saturated that it barely looks like there’s a war on: it lacks gravitas. Not to mention all that level of detail being the primary reason soldiers behind into the environment too well creating visibility problems.
And I have a hard time believing the game will improve. I don’t see there being any way that cosmetic micros are going to exceed or even match the income that the premium pass model would have generated. So I feel we’re not going to get much more for this game.
Overall though I’m still really surprised and confused as to how they could go from the soaring financial success that Battlefield 1 was to…this.
