Immersion is a huge issue. COD had the HQ at least and tons of little maps. The HQ was a nice place to wander around and talk or chat with people. It gives the game a bit more immersion in the WW2 aesthetic.
BFV on the other hand looks like some modern euro game. The armory and areas to see your equipment are so boring, so lame, and it just makes me not even want to level up. I hate everything about its UI, the look of it, the tone of it. None of it even remotely comes off as professional. It just looks like some kid designed a random modern UI for a modern shooter, and even then it’s bad. The soldier scenes you have in the main menu are terrible. The detail is mediocre, the look is gross, and the whole thing is amateurish. I just barely every get the idea I am in a WW2 game when playing this thing.
You’re referring to buy-in, or conversion, or adoption.
Not immersion.
From an objective standpoint of commonly used terms within the industry.
Immersion is referring to the depth in which a person is involved with the in-game story/setting. It’s effectively how “separated” from the real world you become when engaging with a game.
In other words, you’re misusing the word in this context - which isn’t a huge deal really as I did understand what you were getting at based on different posts of yours.
I think you may be confusing ‘suspension of disbelief’ with ‘immersion’.
They are very similar things. But I think ‘suspension of disbelief’ means consciously allowing yourself to fall into what you’re experiencing by ignoring the fact it obviously cannot be real.
Immersion is where your thoughts are, to a varying degree, saturated by the experience itself.
Therefore, ‘suspension of disbelief’ is where you have consciously lost yourself, and ‘immersion’ is where you’re just surrounded by it.
I bet my left ¯_(ツ)_/¯, they’ll put in both Japanese Imperial symbols aswell as CCCP ones…since they were the good guys…eh…
Why is not the US flag removed aswell, since you know…they eradicated allmost 2 whole cities of civillians to test their new toys…and the English ones for torching whole cities populations alive?
Yeah..i bet the old CCCP states REALLY love the hammer and sickle, for example..
Hiding such symbols, just make THEM stronger.
Staying in denial, makes YOUweaker.
LOL, well it didn’t take a rocket genius. Many of us knew this would happen. Do you think they’re gonna abandon this game?
I mean they sold it half price, and even that ot couldn’t sell, and on xbox i think Mafia 2 back compatible has this game beat in the “most played” section lol. I think March may be it for this game.
Oh, well you’re talking about the blind fandom, but i think we obviously knew better than that lol. You also know our friend Loqtrall is still going to come on here and try and convince us a mere nickel adds up to 50 cents lol.
Sales were a touch over 7 million apparently. Which is really bad considering all the hype BF1 built for this franchise. EA of course will just be on to the next soon enough, but if this was a proper WW2 with a ton of content this would have been at 15m in no time at all. They had to murder their revenue to get to 7m.
I did in fact have fun when I was playing. But after whatever amount of hours I can’t even turn on the game anymore. I don’t want to play squad Conquest. I don’t even want to play the game. Now I paid 40 dollars, and I don’t really feel robbed or anything, but this game could have been THE WW2 game man. I play COD WW2 more right now because it is more fun earning the skins and playing an arena shooter on tons of maps.
What I wanted from BF was a super realistic WW2 aesthetic with a bunch of big maps and a great UI that made me feel like I was in WW2. We got none of this.
The UI in BFV still makes me puke it is so bad. Every time I boot it up that girl on the cover with blue and pink makes me want to barf. In that way COD WW2 is much much better with cooler uniforms, cooler gun skins, et cetera. It’s a damn shame because with another year and some patience/polish this game would have been a massive hit.
I have no faith at all in EA anymore, and I honestly hope their stock keeps tanking. They won’t change if their stock doesn’t change. I hope Anthem fails miserably. Dice is not the same as they were, and it is clear to me anyway they had a lot of talent leave.
Sorry to tell you this but I have absolutely 0 time for another EA game. This game will most likely not be purchased at all until it is free on PS Plus. I have way too much going on. Plus I already have three EA games. I literally have no interest in Anthem whatsoever but thanks.
I did not purchase Deluxe for the content, I purchase deluxe to play early and closed alpha and open beta with two week early access. Not happy about still testing the game for release though. Too many things missing from the game at launch to call it a launch. Really an ongoing beta test.
