What'd you think of it?
Personally that whole immersive cluster-mess they showed off was exactly what made me sick of BF1. War doesn't have to be all-action all the time for crying out loud.
That's one of the reasons I can't stand any of these DICE multiplayer games. It doesn't matter what the setting is. Gameplay and level design are fucked. Maps are too big and too cluttered with stuff so I can't see anything. I just end up getting killed the moment I arrive to where the action is. I might care about getting better if the shooting mechanics didn't feel weird and clunky. So the core gameplay aspect of a first person SHOOTER is boring and it doesn't feel right. DICE simply doesn't make games that I enjoy playing. I don't know why anyone else likes this cluttered shit, but millions do apparently.Squilookle said:Personally that whole immersive cluster-mess they showed off was exactly what made me sick of BF1.
I don't know if Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2, and 2142 were considered cluttered though...Adam Jensen said:That's one of the reasons I can't stand any of these DICE multiplayer games.

We went from this....I don said:I was hoping for BF1942 with more historical accuracy. I was fine with Hollywood accuracy, considering they might try stealing things from the film Dunkirk, but nope, it's BF1 on crack.
Then the elephant in the room. My God they actually took that Polygon article seriously. Is this actually what SJWs want, a fictional world where war meant that everyone came together as treated each other as equals, where even a disabled woman can save the world?
This trend is absolutely idiotic. COD:WW2 "We won't shy away from racism" means that one American who says "I can't believe they let you fight" is apparently an example of racism in WW2. Then they shake hands and everything is fine.
Seriously is this the best they can come up with? This is the war where Japan launched a genocidal campaign against the Chinese, and the KMT accidentally killed a million of their own civilians in a single year, just to delay them. This is the war where the German Army marched into the USSR, raped 10 million women, and then exterminated the populace. Then the Red Army marched through deadlands and into German territory, and then raped 2 million women.
All this talk about power fantasies, and they want a fictional representation of WW2 worse than what Hollywood makes? I mean what could be more disempowering than reality: having the entirety of your division wiped out almost immediately, and then having to defend your own homeland under incompetent command and under total enemy air superiority? Then you die a unceremonious death while being holed up in a building and caked in shit.
If Polygon wants black people so badly, how about they depict them in a manner that, oh, I don't know, actually has some literary merit to it. For example, let us play as a black soldier in a segregated unit, where white Americans spit on you and call you a ******. Then they send you on suicide missions, and in the end they won't even let you into the buildings and streets you liberated. Your deeds are barely recognized, and your commanding officer wishes he were in command of whites, and blames you for his incompetence. It might just build some empathy... But no, let's celebrate this glorious war where we gamers can all be included, and defeat some Nazis.
You forgot to put up an example.Samtemdo8 said:We went from this....
To this.
Haha, it seems some people are acting like DICE would ever make a masterpiece of a single player campaign that would have some sorta meaningful storyline and themes if it wasn't for those meddling SJWs, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!!!Zhukov said:Always delighted for an opportunity to observe the babyman gamer crowd frantically shitting themselves inside out in a display of impotent internet rage because they saw a female character in a video game.
I was initially bored silly by the idea of another WWII game. But exaggerated comic book version of WWII I can get behind.
This. The Battlefield games since 3 or so have all been over the top spectacles that put frantic gameplay over any sense of realism. BF1 was what a 10 year old playing with toy soldiers plays out WW1 to be like and everyone was fine with that because it was gritty. Personally, I much prefer this zany comic book take on WW2 to another gritty shooter that still has no resemblance to actual war. It fits much better with the actual gameplay of the BF-series then somber and gritty takes. Here's hoping you can play a peg-legged Scot with a kilt and a claymore in multiplayer.Zhukov said:I was initially bored silly by the idea of another WWII game.

So far I've seen people think the game copies Call of Duty, Fortnite and Gears of War, either this game must be the weirdest combination of games or people have no idea what they're talking about hmmmmm....Saelune said:Oh look, they are copying Call of Duty.
Ya know, what if like, we just had a variety of settings for shooters? We do not have to do one setting all at once until people are sick of it.
That was me wasn't it?Phoenixmgs said:Haha, it seems some people are acting like DICE would ever make a masterpiece of a single player campaign that would have some sorta meaningful storyline and themes if it wasn't for those meddling SJWs, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!!!
But yeah, ANY kind of twist on WWII is needed at this point especially in these BF/COD Michael-Bay-esque blockbusters.
