GameStop CEO Says "Wow" to Battlefield 4 Preview

The whole Realistic Military Shooter thing has ran its course for me personally. I abandoned CoD games about two or three years ago, I got tired of paying for essentially the same game every year. I played BF3 for a few months, but quickly grew tired of all the private servers and overpriced DLC I would never be able to afford. Since then I've decided to play other games hoping the whole yearly realistic military shooter thing would just go away.
I don't think I'll hold my breath.

Yeah, that's annoying as fuck, turned me off Battlefield greatly. I gave CQ a miss (because I don't play BF for close quarter no-vehicle maps), then when I came back for Armored Kill (that I was quite excited about), I just couldn't get into it as much as I would, thanks to the good servers mostly being Premium ones that I was denied access to.Mojo said:
And very much agreed on your point of "hey, let's reward the players who DIDN'T have our game 3 months into it". I pre-ordered the game and wasn't interested in CQ (also had no idea about what Aftermath and End Game would be), so paying more money for what I could get with buying single DLCs one at a time didn't seem like an idea that made much sense. I also remember them saying the only bonuses outside the DLCs would be visual, but here we are, a while into Premium, and there are Premium-only servers. They mentioned the faster queuing and while I was against that too, I said fuck it, I'll wait a minute or two more per game. But actually denying me access to a game I bought because I'm not a Premium subscriber? You know what, fuck you EA and fuck you DICE, even if this idea was pushed on you, you're a bunch of pansies for not being able to stand up for your own game.
Sadly, BF being my preferred game, I'll likely still buy BF4 simply because I need an online FPS to play and nothing else is really my thing. I will however, as I have so far with refusing to buy the new DLCs, be much more careful and restrained about it.
Ya that comment was on the dollar sings that were rolling around his eyes at that moment, yearly releases hurray!
I really loved BF2. If they can recapture that magic then i'll totally be up for it but BF3 was a mess and waste of money if you ask me. Glad I never bought any of the ridiculously priced DLC or premium crap.
I've still got a few servers on favorites that usually get full and are good fun. I just play the normal version but modding was supported, trying to think of the popular one now. I know there was a musket themed one where it took like 2 minutes to reload. Oh, 'project reality' was the big deal as far as mods went. If there are any modded versions with decent populations that'll be one for sure.Anathrax said:

The Origin marketing people are doing it for the lulz, clearly.
