R.I.P Battlefield.
Well, what can I say? As a long, die hard fan of battlefield over the years you, EA/Dice really have let go of the steering wheel and veered right over a sheer cliff drop. What a shame. Not o...
Forum Discussion
So are we pretending as if we can't see the difference between toxic and constructive feedback? Should the developers accept all of it because some do not like the game?
I highly doubt that the people having issues with bugs and the game being unfinished are who the developers refer to as being toxic. Unless they are being melodramatic about it instead of just stating the issues.
@Skill4Reel Well, depending how you look at it, they're responsible for it gradually turning toxic by their lack of communication.
- @Kyosji Personally if I were EA/DICE I wouldn't want to communicate with such a hateful and toxic fanbase.
- @CantGetRight If you dont want to communicate with such a hateful and toxic fanbase then you shouldnt create that toxicity in the first place. Charging people over 100 dollars to play the game "early" in its worst unfinished state, lying throughout the development, still lying now, blaming us for expecting too much ie a finished game, creating something with monetisation at its core yet still asking full price, literally no communication, no roadmap for people that got the special editions and then calling a scoreboard and voice chat "legacy features". When you add all that * together its a recipe for toxicity because you have literally just ripped people off by promising one thing and giving another thats broken in its place.
Back in bf2 they actually used to communicate...even do right ups in the forums explaining things, doing Q and A.
It's amazing how much it drops the intensity of things when you actually talk to people, people will even forgive things they just couldn't fix because they were let in on why it was an issue.
By outright ignoring the forums and going dark they stop being people and just sort of become a soulless void that the masses feel like they have to scream at to get a message across and never get any response back to say the message is understood.
Welcome to the world we now live in! It's like this all over and in every area of our lives.
The question is… why is it toxic in the first place? How could you possibly think releasing a game like this would have 0 backlash. They should own it and talk with the fans to make it right. Not hide in the shadows for fans who want a triple A battlefield game and worth their $50-$100. The players who want refunds should be granted them.
Prob my last post here for a while. I still play 2042 for a bit. Its still painfully fun. But Im at the 'dont care anymore' point now. Dice/EA dont really care and i think the disconnect is now very obvious from some of the dev twitter posts (which they of course always delete later).
I dont want to play a companies game, esp. BF, where the developer thinks that asking, no begging for basic core elements, are 'brutal expectations'. Are these guys really just noobs? In the end, all most wanted was a good new BF, based on what was already established, with some awesome maps, levolution, destruction and team play. 2042 has none of that. Its bland, woke and unfinished.
Since i paid for the gold edition, i will def check out the new content when it comes out. Maybe i will see you all then. Until then, everything else is a waste of time.
@KyosjiWhile I do agree that maybe they need to communicate better, do you need someone holding your hand and telling you EVERY little thing that they are doing?
My last day around here.
Bye
I mean grabbing 60+€ for a game in that state is pretty bold for what they delivered. And if someone paid that much money and does not even get any information about what is about to come in the future of this game, I can definitely understand them. Of course you want to hear that your money has not just been rendered worthless. I mean it is obvious enough how desperate EA and DICE are when they struggle to even sell their game at a heavily reduced price tag.
My only last bit of hope with this game is paitence. When BF4 came out it was a complete disaster. The game was unplayable in any and every single way and it took DICE more than a year to fix it. Today, IMO, BF4 is still the best BF game of the whole franchise. I've sarted playing BF games since BF2 and they were a blast.
BF4 was the best balance between playability, destruction, game contents DLCs, story behind it, game modes, etc. it even had an app for android tablet to play as a commander!!! (that was a huge thing and very entertaining)
Now, I'm trully hopefull that DICE is trying to fix this piece of garbage (like BF4 in it's beginnings). Tried to ask for a refund but no luck in PS5.. so my only last option is to wait 6 months or a full year from now to see if the game has changed (with really little hope to be honest)
@Kyosjithe "community" was toxic even before the beta came out and had a collective melt down when the info about Paik and her wall hack came out and it's been non stop hate ever since.
It's got nothing to do with the 'silence'.
But you guys will always rewrite history to suit your latest narrative.- @Tank2042Man Goes both ways with that narrative. Just saying.
I remember that video when he talks about taking "best pieces of battlefield 3 and 4", actually that excited me back then. Now if compare this conversation with product they released, how much does it match?
But they should've gave people an official statement if they cared about the community a bit.
As it is now, it's just like they aren't even acknowledging the mass exodus and discontent with the state of the game.
All the warranted and unwarranted complaints asside, it's bleeding out and they don't seemed bothered by it. They just ignore it.
EA is about making money and not caring about the players. They now speak to a higher power, the Stock Market.
The leadership of EA is a joke and they should all be fired.
