Also on console here and can agree. I honestly don’t have many bugs or WTF moments. My biggest peeve right now is that for some reason it seems harder to breach doors than before, so I get killed trying to get into cover.
And also agree on Firestorm. I enjoyed it for a few days but one I went back to ‘normal’ bfv I was much happier. I worry they think they can just take elements of other games that are popular (customization, BR, live service)and just slap that into BF. It won’t make the game like those games that have it, because the fans aren’t as rabid about those things. Customization is fine, but not at the cost of more maps and weapons.
I play BF for that spawn-die-spawn-die, big teams, epic multiplayer experience that’s been in the last 7 titles I’ve played. Depart too much from that and the game will suffer, and just generally not appeal to many.
Pretty much agree with everything you said, apart from maybe firestorm which I dip in and out of occasionally. Duos is fun but nothing beats regular battlefield.
Same here. I see 2 out of 14 playing from ny old clan and another 2 on my friendlist of 30.
I even haven’t seen my closest buddy for months and we have played together every week for 12 years.
My little community is leaving BFV like rats from a sinking ship. Its really sad.
my disappointment has been with the realism aspect…even though battlefield is technically an arcade shooter, they have always focused on realism, however. when it came to this game…they just wanted to make the twitter and tumblr crowd happy…but those arent the people that play their games… bad PR, and bad choices to pander to the political correctness crowd I feel was a HUGE turn off for a massive chunk of their customer base. Their customization is lacking, their models look like steam punk/post apocalyptic fighters using left over equipment from the war, and yes, the maps LOOK like Europe, but they feel NOTHING like the battlefield maps I have known and loved since it hit the stores as a CD installed game…The skin models would be somewhat better is options to add and remove pouches, goggles, scarves, headphones etc would make it feel more like a WW2 shooter, which is what their base customers wanted…a WWII shooter, but what we got, was a half , rushed, politically corrected, steam punk, bastardization of a battlefield game
I think that analysis is pretty unfair. The reason why there are so many negative posts is because there are a lot of unhappy customers. I know that I post a lot of negativity about this game, but like many others, this is the ONLY opportunity for people that have put MANY MANY hours into a much loved franchise to express they displeasure with the poor product that is now on offer.
The equation here is very simple. Make a good product, and customers spend less time complaining about it.
I am sure like most detractors here, that I regret the feeling that I NEED to make the posts I do. I am HAPPY for people that like the game. Im pleased for you. You like eating poo sandwiches. Most of us don’t like the taste. But am really pleased you like eating the brown stuff.
I agree with you op, let your voice be heard.
I haven’t played this game in quite some time besides trying Firestorm when it first came out. I’ve actually went back to bf4 and having some fun there. Imo bfv isn’t fun . I realized even if 20 new maps released it wouldn’t matter to me. Bf5 isn’t fun. And it sucks that it isn’t fun.
So you don’t think the game is lacking content? That it’s not full of game breaking bugs and cheaters ? That they didn’t lie a million times over? That they promised a lot of things but didn’t deliver? That it has no battlefield feeling to it whatever? That everything they released for the game was a complete disappointment? When was the last time you heard anything good is actually happening in this game? Look at the general reaction to BF1 when it first released and look at this. Look at the difference in content BF4 had at this point in its life cycle and look at this. A game like bf1 for example is something I’ll probably never go back to, but at least when I remember it, good memories come to mind, actual content and the feeling of being excited for something new and not being disappointed when it finally comes because it’s actually what they said it would be, not a complete LIE.
Okay then, I may come off as an negative to you, but you come off as someone who’ll just be happy with whatever little bone they throw you, just like dogs. I stuck by dice and this game even when LITERALLY everyone was hating on it on the internet, I defended it, I believed in them and played it everyday being excited for what’s coming next, but now I’m not, I’m DONE making excuses for them. Everything I said is wrong with this game IS true, and you know it and if you deny it, you are just like a said. It’s not a matter of opinion. Those are facts. The game had those problems. And if this is gonna be the norm, if dice will just release a broken, game and then barely release any content for it every 2 years just to milk money off of people, regardless of it being their or EA’s fault then I’d rather see this franchise die so I could at least remember it as something I actually used to love. Not something I would have been happy on its grave.
And if you are personally enjoying the game and somehow satisfied with the droplets of content they give you, then good for you, you are a part of the minority that are actually delusional enough to believe that the game doesn’t have any of the problems I mentioned. But if you look around you at most of the community, most of them do believe there’s A LOT wrong with this game. And that’s gotta say something, when a game is on sale for half it’s price not even 1 month into its release, that’s gotta mean something is wrong. When unlike the game that came before it in the franchise, almost every bit of news is a disappointment, when most YouTube videos are talking about what’s wrong with the game, what’s the game missing and what’s broken in the new patch, you gotta know something is wrong. When the game has only a 69% like rate on Google compared to bf1 with 94% and BF4 with 95%, you gotta know something’s wrong. I can go on with everything that can easily show you how much is wrong, you say the game is good, but everything in reality goes against you.
Wake up and stop defending them, I get how you feel because I’ve been there too, I got into countless arguments defending this game but now I can’t do this anymore. It doesn’t feel right.
Again, I’m sorry I may come off as mean/childish/negative/rude/or whatever you wanna call it. But honestly the frustration I feel almost everytime I play this game just got me to a point where I went from a fan to someone who wants to see it die. I never wished this before,but when someone who loved this game so much reaches this point, you gotta see that something is definitely wrong…
Unfortunately, I found myself watching a cross-platform FIFA '19 tournament on television the other day, so as long as they are on the TV I don’t see them going anywhere. (And by cross-platform, and I mean this in the lamest way, they played one half on PS4 then continued the same match on XBOX (not sure how they managed that magic trick, but we gamers certainly can’t do that–but that is for another thread entirely). Bottom line: FIFA is floating EA for the near future. I don’t even think Call of Duty has televised matches (does it?)–if BF were on TV, it would garner more sales–but then people couldn’t use their wall-hacks and stuff.
I agree. You raise an excellent point that didn’t cross my mind.
I guess one of the reasons why people feel the need to vent here is because they have no platform to voice their opinions. One of the reasons I appreciate Steam is because of its user support or more specifically user reviews. It provides a platform where ordinary people can legitimately voice their concerns and have and impact on the overall review scores. It ain’t perfect but it’s “empowering” in a way.
If Origin and console stores could provide something of a similar nature, that would be neat.
I 100% agree about voicing concerns in an effort to change things. I wasn’t commenting on negative posts and I don’t really have an issue with people moaning. This was purely about that person wanting a game to fail because he doesn’t like it, which is incredibly childish and selfish but you decided to interpret it as me having a go at people who don’t like the game. I have no problem with you not liking the game or telling everyone why you don’t like it so yeah stop twisting my words.
poo sandwiches? What because I like the game? Well what an edgy comeback. watch you don’t cut yourself on all that edge.
Ok you have just interpreted my comment completely wrong and made up a load of stuff. There is too much in there to respond to and I just don’t care enough.
So to summarise.. My criticism was of that person wanting a game to FAIL because he doesnt like it despite the fact other people do like it. That is what I said was childish.
I have no problem with people complaining, hating that game, voicing concerns, hating on it for bugs or EA shady practices etc.
Ok or do I have to agree that I don’t like the game even though I do?
You literally just interpreted your own answer out of that rather than the answer I gave. Stop twisting things.
I never once in that post said people shouldn’t be negative or give feedback. I don’t care if people hate the game, literally couldn’t give a monkeys.
My comment was about wanting a game or franchise to fail because he didn’t like how it turned out. That is childish and I stand by that. Wanting it to improve or change is one thing and I am 100% behind that but wanting it to fail entirely shows shortsightedness and a lack of understanding about how publishers work.
If the game fails then most of the time the project gets binned. Bye bye battlefield.
Oh and that poo sandwich comment, oooh edgy. Watch you don’t cut yourself on all that edge. Grow up mate.
