@jeremy1010110A shell of it's former self. A good explanation. A burning trash fire. But, as awful as this game is, the game will improve. It'll just take years. Hold EA accountable for forcing DICE to put the game out early and call out DICE for not holding their ground. I can't say the devs are 100% at fault, even if they do deserve some of the heat from this.
I stopped watching when he said that this is the worst Battlefield launch ever.
He obviously didn't play BF4 for the first year.....
It's a tough one for me @Trokey66 ,
As I somehow see BFV as probably the worst launch of a Battlefield game.
That is,,,, until BF2042 now launched.
Reason being and why I do not consider BF4 being the worst:
BF4 was broken in netcode and we had terrible blue-screens-of-death yes.
But with BF4, we had the right content and the right direction was all there from the get-go!
The BF5 game foundation was broken at launch.
The reveal was terrible. A mess. Bionic limbs. Blue face paint. Environment not matching WW2. Female soldiers shown at frontlines they never took part in.
And then the special event where the EA Dice executive creative officer gave the best consumer advice: "If you don't like it, don't buy it !"
So that is what many didn't. Very cool of EA to help their dedicated fans save money and shop smart instead elsewhere. Politicizing a game that didn't need that...
BFV launched not as a finished product. Matter of fact, it was not given a fraction of developer time and resources versus previous BF games.
And that was evident when trying the product. Serious bugs in every single major feature of the game. Progression system, performance issues, vehicles. All broken... Not just the severity of these bugs, but also the sheer high number of serious issues and how deeply ingrained they were in the game engine. Reason why many of them truly unfixable due to this!
And now we have BF2042 along these same lost lines...
With severe problems in the core of the game engine and philosophy. Next to the cartoonish and arcade gun mechanics, when compared to classics like BFBC2+BF3+BF4...
Thinking about it - Maybe the worst that has happened to the Battlefield game franchise is probably the making of Star Wars Battlefront? As after that EA have made all the Battlefield games using that same arcade style mold...
@Trokey66 If you stopped then I guess you don't like the truth. He didn't make up these points.
The fact is, charging a lot of money for broken and unfinished game to a multimillion company is total bs. And yes, since 4 we had this. And probably gets fixed/finished months after release if not year(s), enough. And hey, 100 bucks.
This is my opinion, but game has gone wrong direction, I'm also here for a battlefield, not cod or Apex. Game just handles this way now.
Also an interesting topic of what we had and don't. Not saying that should have all in one but the list is long tho.
