NowGamer: "It’s not clear where the consensus came from, but while playing Battlefield 4’s beta it’s obvious that so many games – too many – are relying on that skyscraper coming down.
Media outlets and gamers alike all criticised the BF4 beta, calling it out for failing to inspire them as that trailer had during E3. The skyscraper comes down and then what?"
Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.
Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.
I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.
Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.
A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
KeenGamer: "Sometimes a game starts out as a buggy mess and we all just stop and think, “that definitely could have spent a bit more time in the oven”. This is the case for these 5 games which infamously marked their place in recent game memory."
The skyscraper comes down too easily IMO, or should I say too quickly. Either way, the thing should be more accessible. No stairs, no second or third floor? Most of the buildings in BF3 had at least a second floor. The way the skyscraper is done makes it more like on flat level that's just really high up.
ITs a Beta and a crap one at that.
Of course it is, because for some reason every one thinks that destruction makes a game better, sure it makes for pretty visuals but thats it, case in point BF3.
I think its ace pussies
I disagree with the article. Throughout the entire presentation of Battlefield 4, from the start, all they could talk about was destruction. Now, they are going back on that and saying that it's scripted. The developers, even in videos, talked about how you could take out a wall and kill the person behind it. Now, we find out that you cannot do that and there is nothing different from this generation to the next, in gameplay.
Then the article goes on to state that gamers do not need a change in gameplay, that they should be content in playing the same game they played for the past 20 years without any upgrades. I'm sorry, but destruction actually helps in the way we play games. It eliminates camping and gamers from sitting in one place too long spawn killing. It keeps everyone on their feet and make them realize that they arent safe wherever they go. Instead of just shooting your opponent in the face and hoping the same doesn't happen to you, you can shoot the support from a building and have it fall on them. Next gen, to me, isn't just about pretty graphics. It's about physics and changing the way we play a game, for the better.
Developers do everything they can to make the games look realistic, now they need to make them react realistically as they would in the real world. Soldiers are trained to use their environments to their advantage, something gamers cannot do because developers keep making games that forgo physics. They don't allow us to use our environment at all, except for cover. Which is the reason we have campers and spawn killers.
Multiplayer has been suffering for years from the been there, done that syndrome. I, for one, will not play another game in multiplayer ... unless that game allows us to use the environment ,via physics, to our advantage. Its the reason why I haven't played multiplayer in years, because I'm tired of the Quake style point-and-shoot gameplay. Games have grown up over the years, gotten more mature. But after reading this article, it's obvious that a lot of developers havent. They stayed the same, while gamers are the ones who are maturing. Sooner or later, It's going to catch up to developers and gamers are going to bore of the same gameplay they've been playing for so long and just stop playing those types of games. Or only buy games from developers who understand the need for physics in gameplay and how it can change any games landscape... for the better.
