or is it too far gone.
Releasing a broken and unfinished Battlefield game is something we know since Battlefield 3 atleast, however this time around its not even the bugs and performance problems that is making this new installment a chore to play. This time the very fundamentals of the game itself are completely broken. From the game forcing you to play as so called "specialists" with the abundance of normal classes to boring map design, "hero shooter" vibes where people who play good don't get appreciated bc "everyone's a winner"....its just a mess.
Can DICE really fix this game this time around?
My own opinion is that its really too far gone this time, they will never make changes to their hero shooter styled gameplay imo.
What do you think?
They'll be ok.
I played a bunch today and finally played some of the other modes and the game is actually in great shape for a BF title only 1 month in. Fully playable, a few issues here and there like the scoreboard and normal performance stuff you see early on, but nothing game breaking.
In terms of specialist, I can see it simply put on optional and on the main games they just have all the classes to the other BF titles and put the rest of the 75 weapons in, but tbh, I wish that was the main problem lol That isn't shit to me. I still fucking revive, give out health, ammo etc Not much has change with my style of play and I feel the overreaction on it is a bit silly and way too hyperbolic.
The hit detection, scoreboard and performance should be the focus as nothing is fucking stopping anyone from just playing in Portal..... They literally put a whole ass mode in for people to PLAY HOW THE FUCKING WANT TO PLAY, to even still cry over this shit is crazy as it sounds like the gaming community simply loves complaining about shit. Someone literally could have told people that they wish Poral was a thing and explained its core concept and I'm 100% most would literally not shut the fuck up about how THAT is what they should have included, and they would have bought it day 1, and old DICE would have done it and they'd loooooove it if it was that etc
Yet.....when they do, folks would actually just focus on other things to complain about. So its hard to even gauge what is a real complaint. Look back at the BF4 complaints about "small" maps and how its Call Of Duty now cause Team death match and Metro map from BF3 lol Even look back at people crying about the BFV maps...
but hey, we are suppose to believe those maps are bad, but also big maps are bad, more people is bad, more options to play is bad.
The more I look at this, the more I realize Portal makes more sense for BF as the community literally has so many ways they want to play and have others play etc. That makes more sense for the future of the IP imho as many seem to want to ignore Portal exist, so they can complain about optinoal things....=)
The fact that BFV with all the hate that it got, low sales and all was able to even move almost 9 million units and get years of support, I believe faster updates, Portal and the free maps that can come to not just 2042 time frame, but PAST BF titles, will keep it alive and it will do just fine.
its already doing several times better then BFV that was suppose to flop based on neckbeard youtube screaming. lol
Being mad doesn't mean everyone feels that way folks and we've been down this road before with so many games. Wasn't Call Of Duty suppose to flop cause someone was downvoting on Youtube? OH yea low steam numbers, Call Of Duty is donez everyones /s lol
