I almost thought about reinstalling it a bit. I never said I would never play the game again. I don’t have much room on my SSD left, and I don’t have much time either. I enjoyed the time I put into the game for what it was. But that doesn’t mean the game is not an utter failure.
I gave it a chance. It’s been 4 months, it’s still below average with many problems and it’s already stale. Logitech no-recoil macro-semi full auto shooters and other nonsense that make the game a chore to play. It was a nice try but I’ll wait for the next one, when it’s on sale for maybe 20 bucks. It’s a skill-less nightmare filled with really bad gameplay calls.
I haven’t touched it in awhile, I most of my crew abandoned it already and playing alone is pointless. I would love to play BF4 more, but with the server-player glitch and the broken infantry to vehicle balance, (rockets taking 9 years to regenerate from boxes while every server is basically an instant vehicle respawn one, slams and mines being useless, little bird infantry farming is still a thing because SRAW was nerfed into the floor, etc.) it’s hard to get into Battlefield these days because it seems it was made for people who actually don’t play FPS games.
Oh well, Apex is fine for the moment then when the next big thing comes out, it’s off to that. The cycle continues.
This should’ve been such a huge game after BF1… how did they get it so wrong?
I haven’t played in weeks so don’t know if the updates have improved it.
Honestly, a smarter company would have just moved on to the same type of vibe. They probably should have never messed with TTK much either, and Premium should have been here day one.
Instead, they made the worse UI known to man, making rank up horrible, there is little immersion in the ww2 aesthetic, et cetera. A couple of the maps are very cool and very nice looking. But too many of them are too small, their vehicle camp/tether behavior is horrible, the guns do feel like insta kill guns at times, and with maps lacking in size and quantity, there is just no point to supporting a game like this. It doesn’t have much of a future.
Star Wars will probably keep kicking, but I haven’t played that in months after the initial content. I had more fun in that game overall too, and at some point will probably go back to play the new heroes at least. But maps killed that game too. Just like it will kill BFV.
Okay, so per one of my last posts, I finally played the heck out of Apex Legends. I won’t touch Anthem probably ever even when free, so this is about all my EA soul can justify.
It’s a cool game for sure. Won a couple times, teamed up with some people, met some new people. It doesn’t help that PS does NOT track the friggin’ players you meet. I thought that was the whole point of the mechanism, but it never works on most games.
Anyway, compared to BFV I find obviously different issues with Apex. It’s a new game though, so we’ll see how it evolves.
Right now obviously, you are stuck on one map. It’s a LARGE map for sure, but it’s still only one map. I can kind of see where BFV might be going with BR, but I fail to see how BFV is going to be any fun. The whole point of Apex is that you have very different characters that help each other out. I wouldn’t exactly be able to just throw any BFV class in there and call it a day. Their BR map also had better be pretty cool as Apex set the bar there. No question their map is amazing. One map of course.
But after awhile playing alone it already started to dawn on me. These games are here to waste our time. Playing with two other randoms rarely results in coordination.
So the gameplay loop started becoming: search around for 6-8 minutes, and then go die in one firefight at the end. 2ND PLACE OMG!
Not really. I can see why kids are addicted to these games, but you need A LOT of free time to justify games like this.
Me? I would rather go back and start playing and completing the wide variety of amazing single player games I have. I will touch into the sphere of BR and MP, but I can’t justify my time with games like these at the very least until they are polished and bug free, which Apex is most certainly not.
TTK in Apex is also ABSURDLY high lol. I mean jesus. That I was not expecting, and after some time playing with randoms it just gets to the point I would rather not boot up the game unless someone I know is playing. Those games have a very small point of entry for people like me.
Of course you already see people with loads of kills in the game. It’s insane to think some streamer ¯_(ツ)_/¯ has 10K kills in the game. I can’t even imagine how you justify life anymore playing these games 24/7. Dear god people need to get out of the house. Stream from your backyard at least. That’s all I came away with after playing Apex for a day. It was mostly pleasant with friends, but in no way could I justify sticking with such a time waster. Overall: Fun but Pointless.
And that IS okay. I don’t have an issue with it, except to say I think these types of games are making kids unable to process important things in life. Even as a kid gamer I never was addicted to a game like this, and I am not sure these games teach kids anything really but to quit immediately when you have bad teammates. BFV is much the same to me except the fun part is lacking due to the business model. In fact in BFV was the great WW2 game everyone wanted there is no way in heck I would ever trade it for something like Apex Legends.
Do I really want to boot up and play a gameplay loop again and again that consists of me collecting stuff for 8 minutes and then engaging in one firefight where mostly the people with the best armor win? Not really.
do you have a blog or something i can ignore?
No, just keep boosting my threads little possum.
It’s definitely better with an organized squad. There’s LFG websites to help you find other team oriented players if you don’t have any friends online.
I’ve only played 10 rounds of Apex so far, but we won 5 of those games and placed in the top 3 in 8 of them.
The game has the same problem that every other BR game I’ve tried has had for me. It’s really repetitive and doesn’t seem like something that will have much longevity for me.
I guess it’ll depend on how frequently they add new heroes, weapons, and maps.
Still, I’m having more fun with it than BFV right now, but that could of course be because I just started. Like I said, I question its longevity for me.
Keep it civil @Khronikos
Because you are on PC and we are on Console…
Link to section: You call it a sinking ship, but others say it is still standing tall.You call it a sinking ship, but others say it is still standing tall.
It used to happen to me a lot back when I first started on these forums. Then someone from EA fixed it for me and I haven’t had a disappearing or delayed post from editing too much since then.
I even tested it maybe a year ago in a thread where someone was complaining about their edited posts disappearing.
I edited a comment 15 times in a row, one after the other, and it still didn’t trigger the anti spam.
Ever wonder if half the people you are arguing with are actually DICE/EA employees undercover? The US F.B.I. even admitted they do it (infiltrate online communities to spread disinformation–like Kratom kills etc..)
PS: I tried to catch up on this thread, but after a while I skipped 6 whole pages… does that make me a bad person? (I hope not)
I’m just glad the person that bought this for me at Christmas time only spent $20.
Although apex plays well it doesn’t have much content does it bud?
I pray you are joking. That is a real ship called the RP Flip. TLDR: BFV is a real sinking ship.
No it doesn’t, but then again, it was free. My comment was directed at all the folks on this forum that seem to believe that EA was going to go out of business because of bfv.
I think the EA hate train is funny. It’s like some sort of bad experiment in group think.
No problem, I did not
Wise words spoken.
We are literally waiting to throw money at them for Factions, maps, vehicles etc… but they STILL haven’t released that stuff.
I guess you’d have to have a substantial starting package of content to justify spending more for DLC… so there in lies the first problem haha.
I love the core game as a whole, I really do, I just can’t believe how poorly the release went, and the lack of communication (especially on this forum) has been).
Whoever is in charge of that needs to be given a good spanky spank. Naughty boi.
