I always made time for gaming besides career and shit, but I think it's time to let go and just invest this time in something meaningful. The gaming industry is a ruined dystopia. Yes, there are indie studios but I don't care. I was invested in the evolution of games once and I never would have thought that AAA studios getting bigger with more budget would devolve games rather than making them better. I'm sick of it.

At least don't pretend you know better, DICE, ahead of schedule and a love letter my ass! What I loved about them in 2014 was that they fixed BF4 even though EA wanted to pull the plug on development. They REBELLED! And did it again with Battlefront 1 and 2! But now... They're part of the problem. I can't see DICE and EA any different. They're one and the same. Telling us what we want to hear not as a promise, just as a marketing strategy. BFV had potential and still is fun. But it could have been more. Why didn't they improve again and again, like before? Why did they bite the hand that feeds them? At the same time, they fixed SWBF2, but not BFV. DICE as we knew it is no more. Only DICE LA is still doing good. Let's see. I won't be buying 2042 *until* they fix bugs and make it good. I still have some hope left, hope for a BF4-style redemption. Last chance. There'll be no turning back.

@@zelestial1681 truth be told there are still developers out there that do a good job when it comes to creative content and quality driven. The down side is, the folks who are responsible for good content, are either ex devs or experienced ones from big studios that probably saw where the studio was going and they bailed out in time (most of them) and started their own studios. Or indie developers, the ones who do not have capital to actually develop a fully fledged medium sized to big studio. Once those people left their places, obviously the less creative, less passionate, less driven by quality folks took their places. And the only passion they have is literally to make money. And that is it. As an ex dev I can assure you that the video game developing world is poised/plagued with different types of different shapes and sizes of bad. Bad management, bad shareholding and decision making, bad or poor overall vision and perspective, bad leadership even when it comes to creative content and direction at micro and macro level. Is a nightmare, and is not going to be any better soon.

[@dimoslaros724]

@@zelestial1681 well, the death of beauty, art, ingenuity and innovation in this sense. Because we are depicting video games as artistic works "per ansamble" and what we actually deal with is capitalization and profit here. Like I was talking to somebody else in the comment sections of other videos of Angry Joe, at some point. In order to make substantial profit and be able to innovate you must let the minds that deal with creating express themselves as unhinged as possible. So that your economic income comes, even at a later stage. In the world of capitalism and economic capital, is very hard to be able to materialize innovation and revolutionzing in a certain aspect when it comes to value and quality. During our days, we are sadly the outcome and we are driven by profits and we are in slave of profits compared to actual innovation and creative, amazing, and constructive content. You have Konami, Sega as some examples, trying to make money out of building slot machines with their overexhausted franchises and put them into casinos compared to the actual intent and accent on bringing innovation and nurturing the creative spirits of it, that is very low and slow paced as an economic investment and activity. E. A. for example do it the same, with Activision, and many others. The later just push hard on the video game market and try to shift it and get the world used to it. And that is bad, in the sense that...you see what happens. I hope it makes sense and you understand.

[@327legoman]

@The Blue Bear Squad is based on project reality. A mod for BF2. But base game BF2 was way more like a milsim than current BF games. One of the main reasons for that IMHO is because since BF3 dice felt the need to increasingly make it so that people behave like they're wearing rocket boosted roller skates. They zoom around and fly over walls, all to get us into the shooty shooty action sooner as though we're all ADHD kids who hit the fast forward button whenever John Wick has a dialogue scene that goes on longer than 30 seconds. They build fantastic looking worlds with amazing sound design. I firmly believe that would allow them to tone down the Micheal Bay without people getting bored. You can see how ludicrously fast it all is if you stop to focus on any weighted item rigged to a player models body. It flaps and bounces around crazily.

If you can't tell that headshot694200000 has 140 kills and 2 deaths, you're not likely to report them. You're likely to write off their impossible killshots as net code or lag or whatever because you now can't prove it. Suddenly there are "less hackers" in Battlefield. Problem that's been plaguing the series for years: solved! High fives all around! :D

Nah that's a little too short-sighted IMO. Hackers are problematic, yeah, but not to such an extent. Besides, that solves nothing. I think it's more to do with how they want to make the game more... "accessible" to a wider audience. OR maybe it's just because whoever worked on this doesn't have a clue and thought they were innovating.

22 guns! BF4 had 20 knives and like 100 guns.. Collecting the guns from dlc achievements was very satisfying. It was cool to pick up a gun and not recognize it or it had different attachments than you own and later when you unlock the rare gun it felt so good.

But man, in battlefield, even the positive attitude of the characters on the briefing screen scream like cringe. Somehow, somebody at the DICE office has either forgotten the title and its purpose and intent, or has gone full bananas over things like Overwatch, Fortnite, Apex and try to copy paste them somehow to fish out the "sympathy"(cash in this case) of those titles. Is laughable, given that there is nothing that strikes the franchise as showing the faces of armed conflict. Which is the main purpose and theme of the game...ironically?

Removal of campaign is always a warning sign. It's never "oh we're going to use the resources we would spend on that to improve the multiplayer," it's "so the investors can take the money that would have been spent on that and put it into their pockets."

[@falcon55551]

all due respect sir, yes, but no. You normally spend 4-5 hrs in the campaign and then perhaps 1000 hrs in the MP. That argument is bad. I personally never cared for campaign when it came to BF franchise. What is mind blowing is that building a 5hrs campaign cost as much as building the MP part for most part. Truth is that the game should not release in such a state like ever. With or without campaign.

[@LoneWolf-vu6qy]

If you go back and play BF3, you get the feeling that we’re just another grunt in the machine.

That’s the battlefield experience that I think we’re really missing out on with this latest release. The experience of everyone trying to pull together for the win because you were all just grunts.

We've reached this weird stage of video games where massive, hugely funded AAA studios can't release a finished game in a working state, but a solo developer or small indie team can push out a polished, fully functioning game with deep mechanics, decent balance and no bloated install size without issue. DiCE, Bethesda, CD Projekt, BioWare, Activision, Ubisoft... it's literally EXPECTED that games from these developers are going to broken in some way on release. That isn't right.

[@MercenaryJames]

Worst case is it doesn't have fancy graphics or necessarily fully polished mechanics. But you only paid $20-30 for it so it's still a win.

[@setcheck67]

Have you actually met legitimate game developers lately? Most of them don't even have degrees or certifications involving games. I'd even go so bold as to say over 3/4 of developers in the market now have degrees in Fintech and web design. They all have their heads deeply embedded in their own ass too with them taking absolutely no criticism or fault. People in the game development market that actually are in it for the passion and not just 6 figure salaries are extremely rare. So you have these companies with crews of hundreds of developers that don't actually give a shit about what they're doing as long as they met goals, don't actually play the game to see how things look, don't listen to criticisms that certain ideas don't work, and very little QA is being done in order to meet time goals. The end result is a game that looks, runs, and plays like no one cared... Because no one cared.
