Battlefield 5 - going back to WW2

[fantadomat]

All "tech" is going down in stock price. I believe it has to do with Apple's stock crashing and the rest is bad rep that gets reflected on anything that counts as "Tech". Of course getting progressively greedy and lazy and rehashing the same franchises with next to no innovation for the past 10 years is starting to catch up with EA, Ubisoft and Activision, and it's not helping

It will be fun to see the bubble burst. To be honest the last two years there was unnatural spike in the tech stock prices,it could be that the markets are normalising. Still doesn't mean that some company won't go down the drain. Ubishit did surprised me,it seems that their shitty games didn't meet expectations. Also the notion of constant growth in the modern market is retarded beyond believe,people expecting to constantly get more and more money per same investment....is just sooo american. I really do hope to see the AAA industry burn,that way Vogel will get even more street cred....outliving even the big giants .

If the tech bubble bursts it's not going to bring down any AAA game publishers, the companies that will go bust are the "mega-startups" like Tesla and Uber etc. that live off investor money rather than sales. Vidya game sales would probably increase as people who lose their jobs due to the crash can no longer afford luxury entertainment and turn to gaming as a cheaper way to spend their free time.
The entertainment industry has always been largely recession-proof.

I'm currently too tired to verify this.

This sounds like a less than a million copies sold. Still the holidays are just beginning,the number could rise.

The industry won't burn, big companies will just find new IPs to milk. Medal of Honor, Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell etc were once big franchises.

I did predict this will be the season of triple A bombs, and it seems like BFV is about to follow the fate of Fallout 76. And since I was recently uncovered as Cleanpricegaming , I might as well post this:

I'm currently too tired to verify this.

There were stat sites for all previous Battlefield titles (http://bf1stats.com/ for example), I can't find one for BFV though. Considering all the brouhaha about shit pre-order numbers etc. I'd say that number sounds at least realistic.

I'm currently too tired to verify this.

still way too many players if true should have been at least 50% drop

Balanced criticism of the games historical accuracy retconned for modern propaganda/perversion.

I'm glad I don't play any of this shit however I am fascinated by this strange loathing some white people have for their own history and achievements.

Modern events have proven women should never have been allowed to vote and any man who says he's a feminist should be drowned in a bucket :D.

The actual game isn't too bad but having 3 different launch dates depending on how much money you wanted to pay was pretty retarded. SFX via the 3D headphones option are fantastic and it's a nice touch that you can now be blown off your feet if you're near an explosion but not near enough to be killed by it. The usual online complaints abound about snipers, planes etc being overpowered but I think they got the balance pretty well sorted. The land vehicles if anything are a bit underpowered given that the panzerfaust is readily available even to beginning players. Have to say this is the first BF game where it feels like they actually got the infantry shooting aspect right too.

The post-release content thing is interesting in that if you're a glass half empty person you can wail about them selling a half-finished game and if you're a glass half full version you can sit back with the knowledge the developer will continue to support the game for some time. I like it but probably would have preferred if they'd provided a few more iconic battlefields (eg Omaha Beach, Stalingrad, Iwo Jima etc) than the ones that come with the base game.

 

[sullynathan]

same thing I'm hearing, that the game is much better than recent efforts

 

[Makabb]

Dice devs should watch this documentary and see what women were doing, there is not a single women taken as war prisoner among millions of men, because they were not fighting.

 

[Reinhardt]

No, they were just too good to be captured. Only men are incompetent enough.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I've found the real Battlefield V and it's called Post Scriptum. Anyone with a good enough memory and play time of Battlefield 1942, please enlighten me if it's worse or better than it.

 

[unfairlight]

Different types of games. Imagine Post Scriptum as more of a Project Reality/Squad type deal, than the arcadiness of Battlefield.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I've always thought Battlefield's mechanics would evolve towards more "realism", in the direction of Post Scriptum. BF1942 allowed only one gun and a sidearm, which was ulike the popular shooters of the time which were indeed "arcade".

Of course, the direction Batlefield took after Battlefield 2 was completely different. To be honest, I can't feel much difference in the character movement and FOV between Battlefield I/V and CoD.

 

[Alienman]

It's the best current WW2 PTSD simulator. Fun, but can get frustrating as hell, as 99% of your deaths will be totally unannounced and seemingly random. Also be prepared to crawl around on your belly while helplessly watch your medal seeking squad leader be shredded to bits in a hail of MG42 bullets.

have you played them bacc to bacc?

 

[DemonKing]

...there is not a single women taken as war prisoner among millions of men, because they were not fighting.

On the other hand the number of women who were raped was probably a lot higher than the number of men...even a drunk Russian could probably tell the difference between a Hilde and a Hans...

Maybe they should incorporate that in their shitty popamole then, you just lay on your back with a quicktime event 'push a to squirm' while russian after russian takes his turn. Equal representation and all that. Unless you select to play as a dude and you get all the guns and stuff and do the raping/shooting/raping.

Hanses were only good for killing.

If you want women who do the rape - make game about

Fits like a glove: it's got an M8 greyhound with a balkenkreuz on it, that's about the level of historical accuracy I expect from battelfield

:D

 

[warci]

first I thought you were full of it as it seemed highly unlikely an M8 would make it all the way to the eastern front (the movie is based on events in Majdanek, in the south-east of Poland), but apparently they did lend-lease them to the russians. I stand corrected, dear sir!
