The new twitch prime Sundance and gold/red shotgun skin

Who actually wants these kind of apex legends skins in their battlefield game? Who makes these calls? Not only is the entire game a total mess from release, no one likes the what the gameplay have t...

@Hori-Si-Tsun again for me skins are not the dealbreaker....
will i use them? no
will i unlock them? if its trough normal gameplay, sure
2042 is a big departure from what most would say BF is and i am pretty sure if you showed BF3 next to 2042 most people would not think they were done by the same studio...
EA will always push their IPs to where the most money can be made at as little cost as possible that is just how it is and unless EA does a reevaluation of it DICE sadly must follow their direction... if EA says make cosmetic microtransaction in your next game there is not really a lot they can do....
while the technical side is more or less all up to them

@X-Sunslayer-X no need for the "again or the ...." i never tried to argue your point, i 100% accept your personal stance on the matter. U said "if its a dealbraker to me" and i just answered yes, and stated why.

Technically bf3 and 2042 are not made by the same people, you are correct.

Yes this could be the case about why the skins, what i have a problem with is not skins, its the tone of the skins and what they do to the game, how they not fit the supposed narrative of the game or battlefield as a franchise. The specialists to me are less of a problem in themself compared to how the game is gonna look when i play it when / if everyone runs around with cartoon skins.

    @Hori-Si-Tsun ah okay now i get your point...
    the overall tone of 2042 is all over the place because they most likely never really had the time to nail it down...
    to quote the marketing: what a time to be alive

      @X-Sunslayer-X That could certainly be the case, what a time to be alive indeed. I think they did us wrong by marketing this game this way, i cant see how this is the game between bf4 and 2142 in anyway. It shall be interesting to see how they explain this down the line (if they do)

      The way this game has gone i think it would been much more fair to the consumers if it was branded and marketed as a forked IP in the same maner as the bad company series was.

        @Hori-Si-Tsun could be that down the line they shoehorn this as an offshoot like Hardline/Bad Company...
        since neither EA nor DICE really allows anyone to look into their cards we are left waiting until the 1st of February
        maybe some investors are going to ask EA what the hell happened...
        but then again EA timed their announcement for 3 new Star Wars game perfectly to put more attention to these games and skim by on BS-ing their way out of talking too much about 2042...
