Hurry Up, We're Dreaming



Noctone posted:

Bums me out when people talk about BF4 in the past tense. It's still very much alive and well and probably will hold a decent player count up until if/when they make another modern or futuristic Battlefield.

It's not undergoing active development, and if you already have all the guns/attachments/dog tags unlocked, I feel like there isn't much left to mark progress. When BF Hardline came out, I feel like I had done everything I wanted to in BF4, I just want more content. If BFV ends up being BF1-2, I might end up going back to Hardline or BF4.

I mean I guess if cheevs are your thing then sure. Personally the appeal is doing silly/awesome things and competing against other people, and that loop never ends. Shoving an RPG up a helicopters rear end is always extremely gratifying and running someone over with a jeep will always make me cackle with glee.

And I can tell you from having played the beta that BFV is a radical departure in gameplay from BF1.

I only stopped playing BF4 on PC when BF1 was about to release and most of my goon crew jumped to 1 or other game. I got BF1 only with Revolution edition and if it wasn't because on PC my current MP games are Siege and The Division, I'd keep playing BF4 and see if I could reach 1200 hours on it. I put like 600 on BF3 and 400 on BC2 between PC and Xbox360. Having a daily goon squad makes easier to put big amounts of time.

They are! Not specifically cheevs so much as ingame swag. I was real excited about getting a mohawk and katana and stupid robot arm by doing ridiculous things, but apparently that's being removed. The BF1 achievement dogtags looked like rear end, also.

I don't know if jeeps will even be a thing in this new game, and that beta was totally unconvincing that there will be the level of vehicles I need to do dumb stuff with. The halftrack was cool, but not fast enough and didn't have a turret, I don't think. There certainly won't be any helicopters to do silly things with.

Also, while I'm at it, one thing BF1 did right: K Bullets. I can't imagine they'll be in BFV, but I liked them.

The dogtags in BF4 and patches/melee weapons in Hardline are so good

Why they use that Bauhaus art style for everything?

It looked wrong in star wars battlefront, look wrong in battlefield world war two.



Is like they let the dorc design all their columns. Or in other angle, if the doric designed all columns, there will be no differences between columns. Everything will be the same, no differences in appeal an sense. Is design nihilism.

I watch Battlefield 2, and have a personality

(it also looks like a dated UI).

(zerg strategy, the game).

But battlefront and now battlefield have a UI design that have no personality and is the loving same thing.

I won't be on bf1 much so you can take me out of butt. Unless the clan carries over to bfv then keep me on because I'll definitely be playing quite a bit of bfv when it launches.

I'll be getting BFV on PC (hopefully on release) but I want to get it on PS4 to play with BUTT goons too. A shame that all the platoon things are not working at release because it'll be an early access game what we're getting. This could be any other AAA release but :dice: is leaving so many things out for post release compared to previous BF games that is sad.

Yeah between this and the road map they unveiled clearly shows they are all hands on deck scrambling to rework everything.

I'll play a bit every week and enjoy the gig conquest modes and wait for the new stuff to come out. But I have a bad feeling I may not get as deep into this game as I did with bf1.

BFV is already way way way WAY better than BF1, at least on PC. There are some dreadful bugs to be worked out and balancing needs some tweaks but it's an amazing game.

You are not the first that I read that say that.

But I attribute it to peasantry. Infantry always have funny ideas about what make a BF game good.

Ill argue the complete opposite. I think BF1 is better in every way. I played BF5 for a while and ended up just switching back to play BF1 for the rest of the night. To each their own I guess :shrug: (this is on Xbox if it matters)

Oh poo poo I forgot this game had a console thread. I bought it after the EA Access trial surprised me. Hated the beta, but the full game really is way better than BF1, sound and graphics are unbelievable on X too, even though the beta had worse-than-BF1 graphics. GT: dr fatsaq

If you use headphones remember to chose 3D headphones, not just regular. Makes a huge difference.

BFV has good core mechanics but the game is broken as hell. As someone that got the game just to play with my goon squad, I'd stay away from it until it gets a few patches.
