@Minigun99 I’m not your bud. I couldn’t think of anything worse.
You need to learn what a straw man argument is. You haven’t countered my point of you not speaking for me on the “female” topic. You bought up other topics that we seem to be aligned on.
I don’t like the cut of your jib. I enjoy rustling your jimmies. The fact you cannot even provide any proof for your own post I’m your own thread.
It’s a sport to me now. You are funny.
I ain’t your friend, buddy.
I ain’t your buddy, pal.
I ain’t your pal, guy.
I ain’t your guy, friend.
I ain’t your friend, buddy.
Wow, ok. So because I used the term players, it makes you wanna know why I don’t speak for you in general?
Take note, I used the term players, and gave examples of why a large portion of the PLAYER base dislike battlefield V.
First off my word was plural, so that should show I wasn’t speaking to you as a person, but for the community as a whole.
As for you, I don’t really care bud. If you didn’t mind females that’s great. But unfortunately, you’re the exception not the rule. Ether way, the world doesn’t revolve around you, and I don’t care about your motives to buy the game.
Ether way, it’s very nice of you to come visit me every post. Thank you brother.
Where’s the proof I’m the exception? @Minigun991
There’s no doubt the trailer was massively unpopular, I think one would be in denial saying anything else. But I think it’s a stretch to attribute all the negativity the trailer got with the woman.
It was a coked up John Woo directed mess, laughably overboard with the action and Fortnite-ish in the customization. Alot of the ire directed against the woman was because of her arm, or lack therof. Not her gender.
I am in no way denying some disliked the trailer because of the woman. But to pretend it’s why the sales failed is absurde. I repeat what I said in the first post: we had just played BF1 with women in it. I simply don’t believe the sight of one on the trailer made players freak out.
If that is the OPs claim, I’d like to hear a theory why.
It was, in my opinion, the trailer in its entirety that failed. Spectacularly.
I can tell you didn’t watch the video beyond 2-3 minutes. I can also tell you’re definitely don’t “learn left”. Also if you’re so sure about your “theory” then lets see some credible evidence that shows women and developer comments single handily contributed to BFV’s shortcomings
For a series that has historically had pretty good trailers (imo anyway) the reveal trailer was pretty awful indeed. Showed virtually no real gameplay. What’d we even learn from it? That you can prone on your back and jump out windows? Lol.
You are right. The trailer as a whole did no favors for battlefield V.
But you brought up females in battlefield 1. The reason the community didn’t show any backlash is because they were properly done.
In the first battlefield V trailer, you see a female with a prosthetic arm, and she’s British. So right there that’s impossible, and pretty much saying “yeah, we are doing some politics this year.”
But what came after did the most damage, telling players to not buy the game, and making the assumption that who doesn’t like this customization is just a white male.
Quote- “should we put it over or under the only white male checkbox.”
Also, like I said. Battlefield V’s preorders were down way before the beta. The article was released a month prior.
So I can confidently say, battlefield V failed cause of its political message.
Question. Why? He’s talking about captain marvel. Why do I care? I’ve never said “get woke go broke”
I did say battlefield V failed and underperformed. But that’s also coming from the publisher.
So why do I care about a channel with 21k subscribers, that’s not even a battlefield YouTuber? Or talking about battlefield as the main subject?
You said it boss.
If that’s the case, just goes to show how many insecure, pre pubescent 12 year olds used to play Battlefield!
Given how important realism apparently is you’d think ARMA would be the most popular FPS on the market.
ARMA is a PC exclusive. So there is no way for it to be more popular unless it becomes cross platform.
Just like hell let loose.
No. Just people with common sense, who took their money else where, after being told to not buy it, and endured belittling statements (some racist) from the developers.
EA Appears to Mock Battlefield V ‘Genderfield’ Community Complaints Through the Game’s Launch Party
Fake news.
Because they are insecure, pre pubescent 12 years who are threatened by girls and got upset when told to grow up.
It’s a combination of things that led to the game’s poor reception.
For some it was the bionic woman in blue face paint (I’ll admit I was one of them) For others it was the entirety of the trailer and how confusing and chaotic it was.
Later on the way DICE responded to players’ criticisms also contributed to the negative reactions. Patrick Söderlund telling players that they are “uneducated” and to “accept it or don’t buy it” is the prime example.
A lot of folks called his bluff which resulted in the seemingly low pre order numbers.
Also the entire reveal event was a complete cringe fest. I really don’t know who it was at DICE that thought having Trevor Noah as the host was a good idea. Because lemme tell you… it wasn’t.
In a nutshell…
People complained from the outset about females in bfv.
Patrick Soderland responded with that now infamous statement “don’t like it don’t buy it” and thus many opted not to purchase the game.
That’s the reason for the poor sales, there wasnt a drop off in sales when female snipers were added to bf1 so it wasnt the female characters aspect that shook the foundations of bfv to the ground.
That is why the hashtag started doing the rounds on both the forum and on Twitter and in YouTube videos “#getwokegobroke”.
Again, bugs happen and as software becomes ever more complex, As do the solutions to fix said bugs becomes more complex.
There is not a windows 10 update recently that does NOT introduce new issues to the flagship operating system.
There was even a bug in windows 10 where files stored in “my documents” were being deleted by the update leaving many people with important files looking for data recovery software to retrieve them.
You want to talk about bugs? Semi invisible soldiers is an annoyance, unapproved deletion of files is MUCH more serious imo.
OP, your whole post is very subjective, full of generalizations, and rather opinionated.
Please don’t claim to speak for others.
I know I hate one thing in battlefield games. The rest I can live with, as long as we have choices and are not forced to go one way.
