PewDiePie addresses Battlefield V

I don’t watch PewDiePie (not really a fan), but I was sent this video, and the man nails it on the Battlefield V presentation. Just watch from 4:29 to 5:51. The rest of the video is pretty enjoyable too.

I just want to know what DICE is thinking. I’ve watched all of the interviews with DICE and watched a ton of E3 Battlefield V gameplay. I honestly have no idea what direction DICE is taking this game. The mechanics, theme, and style are just all over the place.

They’re taking it in the same direction as Battlefront 2 where they went full on “Head up my hole” and I don’t care what you say/think. My only concern that they might end in the same same boat as Battlefront 2 team. And if someone doesn’t know what happened or forgot what happened, here is a little reminder:

Nice reminder to those people who think that others opinions don’t matter and Dice won’t change anything.

This is nothing like SWBF2.

First and foremost, EA and DICE have media on their side in this nontroversy, whereas in SWBF2 everyone was hammering them, fans and industry folks alike.

See you on the Battlefield in October.

But… they just said, that they won’t change anything. At that time, we have no Disney to help us out.

I don’t really watch his videos. I don’t like them. I did laugh quite a bit at that one. But when he says “play the games when they come out… stop being so hype about things, it doesn’t help anyone” have to say I think there is some irony in there. His videos come across as quite hyped up to me in the same way that he talks about people being hyped up about new games. Doesn’t he realise that the hype machine is for the benefit of children and those same children are the ones who are his own main audience, as far as I can tell? Quite a hypocrite really.

Exactly. DICE doesn’t seem to be listening or even care that there are people upset with where the franchise is headed. This is important because consumers decide if a game is successful (case and point, SWBFII). Regardless, I don’t want to see Battlefield fail, or any game for that matter.

I may play it through Origin Access or the Open Beta just to try it, but I have no desire to buy Battlefield V. I’m not boycotting it. I’m simply just not interested enough to justify purchasing this game, as opposed to past titles. It would also be foolish and illogical to support a development team that isn’t making a game that I want to play. Why would anyone do that? Most of what I as well as a huge portion of the community have requested to be added (or not), have been rejected by DICE. I am far more excited for the game World War 3. It’s like a dev team that heard what Battlefield veterans want decided to make exactly that.

Can I unwatch that?

Thanks for that comment, it just saved me from clicking ‘Play’. Can’t stand Pewie.

a worn out meme, it’s not about how many buy the game at launch, it’s about how many stick around to play it for the many months ahead
I’m undecided right now

Not really. To DICE/EA, it will be the amount of sales.

And for me, there will always be full servers, just like in BF4 and BF1.

I have higher expectations for the franchise, I guess I’ll leave it at that before the sanctions hit me

You’re not alone. I’ve been with the franchise for over a decade. They have set the quality bar higher and higher, and it seems as though they can’t keep up anymore. I wish Battlefield would take a 5 year break between BFV and the next game (and NOT work on another SWBF in that time, just Battlefield). Give DICE some time to catch up, collect feedback from the community, and really make something revolutionary.

What am I doing here…

thank you

Sadly enough we’re getting Bad Company 3 next year. What is even sadder - Dice LA is working on it.

At least it’s aptly named.

What is the backing for the “Bad Company 3 being next year” claim? I haven’t heard of this. Also, if it is next year, that is terrible. I do not want, nor have I ever wanted an annual Battlefield release. I would rather have 3 year spans between games. Even two years is a bit quick.

“Leaked” by AlmightyDaq. You can belive him or not, but he leaked BF1 good 4 months before any official info with 100% accurate details about maps/ingame mechanics like bayonet charge and game modes Operations+war pigeons. Now he leaked BF2018 saying that it will be in WW2 with tons of customizations. And then he said that 1 year after BF5, we will get Bad Company 3 because right now its in production by Dice LA. So make your own mind on this, but I 99% believe him.
