Over-tolerance
Hello everyone, Does anyone think that games have become over-tolerant recently? I mean DICE/EA removed 'must-have' features from BF2042 just to not offend anyone. For example, the current Scoreboar...
There will be always players that are toxic. But removing basic features like a classic scoreboard will not remove them, it only removes fun for normal BF players. This is a competition game, competition means competing with other players. Especially when you want to go TDM in portal. Imagine having no scoreboard when playing TDM, People go TDM basically to compete with others and see who got more kills etc. I don't care if I lose to someone, the competition is fun itself. And this slogan that 'everyone is equal', 'you are a team' is just nonsense. This is not how competition games work, not everyone is equal, there will always be noobs or better players. I don't care if I am a noob in the game, it gives me the motivation to get better in the game', now I don't have this feeling, I don't see my stats, I don't see my k/d, I don't see anything... I remember the time when we had Battlelog. It was a masterpiece itself, you could spend time there just exploring how many bullets did you shoot, or with what gun you did the most kills, or what is your HS percentage or longest killstreak. It was a great motivation to get better in this game. I didn't care about other players stats, I was competing with myself, for my personal ego, if I can say that... Now I feel like, there is no competition in the game, everyone is equal and everyone is happy, but this is not how it works.
Oh, yes, Battlelog was great, I especially miss all the medals, etc. from there. 🙂
But I guess the scoreboard is such a popular demand it may get added to the game at some point (I think that at least K/D was hinted for some kind of personal stats). But I see reasons why DICE thought it may worth a shot in the current form.
