And by spade, I mean a complete failure-field. DICE is an organization in distress. They didn’t learn from any of the vast opportunities of learning (ie mistakes) from pretty much all of their recent games.
Although I’d all be for dropping BFV like it’s hot and focusing all resources for their next failure, it won’t stop the cycle of failure because they don’t seem to learn from past mistakes.
I’ve been saying this for years, and predicting this debacle for over a year. These guys shouldn’t be referred to as triple-A. They are C- at best. Expect the same in their next failure-field. Sad.
And then there is you. Not helping in anyway. How’s your next failure going to be? And the one after that? This game is been out for how long now? But you’ve got nothing better to do than complain with zero constructive feedback? If you really hated the game you would have walked away a long time ago. But nope.. you feel that DICE has done this to you personally. Pull up your big boy pants and move on. If you don’t like it.. go away. Silently..cause most of us want to see DICE titles succeed and flourish. Your feeble minded cut and paste criticism isn’t helping.
Everything I’ve read over the past 2 years about struggles that EA studios have, makes me think we can’t blame DICE. The fact that frostbite is poorly documented, and many of the devs that built it are gone, or EA is having them support engine work and all studios, which means jump likely not enough people who came effective changes quickly.
It also sounds like Frostbite makes a lot of stuff much more difficult than it needs to be.
It just seems like everybody simply HAS to have their own thread on the subject rather than be a little more productive about it and keep it all in one tidy little place where folks can post their grievances with the game and how they would like to see it fixed, As in.. Actual constructive criticism..
This thread is pretty much yet another gripe thread detailing how bad the game is with no suggestions on how to improve it.
He is not “shilling”.. He is speaking of the fact that there are a “LOT” of gripe threads here, All stating how bad DICE is, blah blah blah..
Also, while I’m on the subject of your quoted post, It violates the forum rules for being nonconstructive and flamebait ( which you shall get an infraction for ).
If you cannot post without flaming others, You will quickly lose your ability to post if it so continues in the future.
Here are the forum rules : forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/137240/battlefield-forum-rules-and-guidelines
I suggest you familiarise yourself with them to prevent further infractions on your account.
We’re WAY past constructive criticism because it’s POINTLESS. DICE is still on summer holiday… Meanwhile the house is BURNING down. SO PLEASE. GIVE ME A BREAK OR GIVE ME A REFUND. Everything I’ve been saying is TRUE.
Game = broken
Patches=broken
Organization culture = broken
Communication= broken

The game is probably considered a success because of the many millions of dollars it generated and how in turn they gave us a pile of crap that didn’t cost them much to produce.
I think it’s the opposite. It has not been able to replace the revenue BF1 had and is probably far from what they expected, even regarding microtransactions.
It’s not as though there’s a lot of new information coming from Dice Sweden to talk about. Announcements of announcements don’t lend themselves well to conversation.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again get the people who made games like Bad Company 2 and BF3 back. These newer titles look good but are not fun to play there is too much time spent on visuals and not enough attention to detail on how the game feels to play bf5 most guns feel the same leaving most feeling bored. each gun should be different, different recoil, different damage, different bullet velocity and bullet drop etc it’s obvious hardly any time has been spent on making the guns as realistic as possible . BF5 is too casual even thought it was promised to be the most realistic immersive battlefield yet.
