@King what do mean his old videos, what did you mean that because it's his longest video it's also his laziest, least edited, and least structured. Say something with actual meaning and not this meaningless stuff. Can you explain how you know this is less edited, or less structured, what do you mean by his old videos, that doesn't tell me anything
- Music team thought they were making art house - Character design thought they were making apex legends - Dialog team thought they were making fortnite - Corporate thought they were selling to the Battle Royale market - Trailer team thought they were making ads for a 2013 CoD - Gameplay designers thought they were on paid leave - No one must have been told they were making a Battlefield. -
This game also was notably criticized by former DICE employees and people who worked on previous Battlefield games. Many of people worked on previous Battlefield games left DICE.
@@lolhomee5538 Yeah, it's also got ruined by dumb people in society full of low IQ idiots which vocabulary haven't advanced beyond: Dude, Bro, Lol, U mad... etc etc. Of course it's broken beyond just Wokeness but nothing have ruined entertainment more then Wokeness. Wokeness is the end cycle of a massive downgrade of society, if society doesn't collapse within the next 10 years, humanity is doomed... People have lost complete contact with reality. Today People get fired for not having ridiculous opinions, basically forced Social-Engineering, so don't expect much from our dystopian future.
Damn, I remember when they said it was gonna be a love letter. I thought maybe EA and DICE learned something and would actually make an awesome battlefield again. But they did it again EA killed another beloved franchise. This one hurts a lot... I think I'm done with gaming. I always made time for gaming besides career and shit, but I think it's time to let go and just invest this time in something meaningful. The gaming industry is a ruined dystopia. Yes, there are indie studios but I don't care. I was invested in the evolution of games once and I never would have thought that AAA studios getting bigger with more budget would devolve games rather than making them better. I'm sick of it.
@@bluemonday2000 it was deserved. A broken game on launch is inexcusable nowadays. 2011 is ok, 2013 is ok, from 2014 onwards... No. They're experienced, bigger than before, they had and still have no excuse to release such a broken game. In fact, it should have been LESS broken than older games, even if new games are bigger. At least don't pretend you know better, DICE, ahead of schedule and a love letter my ass! What I loved about them in 2014 was that they fixed BF4 even though EA wanted to pull the plug on development. They REBELLED! And did it again with Battlefront 1 and 2! But now... They're part of the problem. I can't see DICE and EA any different. They're one and the same. Telling us what we want to hear not as a promise, just as a marketing strategy. BFV had potential and still is fun. But it could have been more. Why didn't they improve again and again, like before? Why did they bite the hand that feeds them? At the same time, they fixed SWBF2, but not BFV. DICE as we knew it is no more. Only DICE LA is still doing good. Let's see. I won't be buying 2042 *until* they fix bugs and make it good. I still have some hope left, hope for a BF4-style redemption. Last chance. There'll be no turning back.
@@Cheesesalad Really feeling this conclusion. I was playing a ton of games during Covid lockdown and realized there were so many old masterpieces to return to that wouldnt disrespect my time like current day bullshit. Why would I need Call of Duty 25 or Cyberpunk when I could revisit Deus Ex, Brood War, Counter Strike 1.6 etc have a good hour or two then move on with my life.
Disappointed with this game is an understatement. Keep it up Joe. You've never been afraid to tell it like it is. Something that's sorely needed in this industry.
THANK YOU For calling out the new terrible theme song. They went from BF4, even BF1 and BFV's were amazing, to the shittiest theme song I've I've ever heard in a game.
@@antilysisgaming5646 I’m happy you enjoy the theme, but a lot of people don’t. The themes have all been pretty good up until this game, where they play a bunch of atrocious noises for a mediocre theme
AJ is one of the last few who speaks their mind in an industry that is totally corrupt, we appreciate it Joe. Edit: ONE of the last few, folks its in the sentence.
Depends on who you buy from if you buy from major publishers for the most part yea they are corrupt and have issues but they have plenty of company's out their making great games that dont get the coverage they should
@@MariOmor1 Well atleast Cyberpunk is fun, I completed this game 3 times now, and only thing that makes my blood boil is oneshot explosions from static objects, when usual enemies can do shit to me, cuz damage calculation for those explosions goes from enemy hp and not player hp, and, again, cuz enemy hp much larger than player's u get oneshot almost every time even if u have aroud 4-5k of armor, and 600-800 hp. Such BS. And worse thing is - IT'S NOT A BUG! It's just a fucking miscalculation on who did work on damage in this game, and it still not patched u need a mod from nexus to do the job. And Damn cyberware "Second Heart", that could save u from this BS, demanding 16 Body. I really loved this game, but this shit still make my nerves cracking. Fuck.
@@AGuywhohasGoodTaste hardline might be fun but it shouldn't have been a battlefield game. It has nothing to do with the rest of the games in the series.
This was literally Battlefield’s year to shine. With no one really airing about COD Vanguard and news about Halo infinite up in the air, this was Battlefield’s time. And they fucking blew it spectacularly.
I had high hopes. But to say I'm disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it. Halo Infinites monetization and progression is bad but at least the game WORKS.
@@michaelfiori6700I've never bought the game after I played the beta. The beta was unplayable and it was the only warning sign I needed. How could Battlefield fall so far from grace!? 😭
you know joe cares deeply about a legendary franchise when the review isn’t a typical review. he sat down at the table and JUDGED this game for almost an hour and a half. “what a time to be alive”
There's many reasons I haven't been tempted to touch this game in a week. You tackled a good chunk of them. Shame too, I've put hundreds of hours into every other Battlefield.
Same man, I don't know what's more insulting, the fact that they made us wait so long for this crap, or the fact that they tried to make Battlefield a COD game.
I remember buying 1942 as a boxed game (With a cool flipped-cover box trying to advertise how wild it was that you could not only shoot but drive entire battleships), and have played more cumulative Battlefield than I can count, but skipped V (for obvious reasons) and then refunded this one after making the mistake of trying it. The development talent is long gone, and now only EA product managers’ decision making and mediocre developers remain.
Let’s appreciate AJ’s integrity on his swearing. He won’t change for anyone. Especially RU-vid! You gotta respect that. I know plenty of RU-vidrs converting their content as “family friendly” on the fear of being cancelled on RU-vid.
What I don’t get is how they made an entire platform separate for kids yet still enforce a child friendly policy for creator content on the main platform. Makes no fucking sense.
@@Omega4Productions it ONLY makes sense in regards to false information. How do we know whats (likely) true on youtube anymore? We cant. Apparently big businesses influenced this to stop their products being downvoted and therefore not bought.
As an UI / Interface Designer myself, I can wholeheartedly agree. However the Designer himself usually does not have the last say in his concepts - that's the Art Director, or even higher position, etc. This Game seems to have a serious/fundamental management problem.
I’m right there with you. As designers we can create all the mocks/wireframes prototypes we want, but at the end of the day. Design lead/senior designer etc. or any other outside team can have influence on the final decisions being made.
Joe should be considered a hero to all gamers. He stands up against everything that is horrible about gaming. Calls out the companies and developers on every thing that they need calling out on and doesn’t hold back. Thank you Joe for leading the fight for the integrity of gaming. You’re a legend 👏🏻
@@sceligator I think there are quite a lot, especially youtubers who are actual critics. Worthabuy is one of the best in the business. Nakeyjakey is another slam dunk of a gem if you're into some deep critiquing.
Guys, seriously.. witnessing this gaming industry going down like this, with companies we used to love, only for them to turn their back on us and show their true colors.. makes me appreciate Joe's honest review on those unstable alpha builds we consider 'games' even more. Thank you Joe, for struggling with this and for helping us make up our mind.
Thank the abusive, exploitative, underpaying, and crunch-inducing executives that keep taking shits on every worker from these legendary development studios.
As funny as it is, actually is a heartbreaking thing, because he really had his hopes up. Is like the developer team or management....or shareholders of our days are dumbstruck.
@@dimoslaros724 absolutely agreed. And listening to him ridicule the state of modern gaming, its like…..why be a reviewer nowadays? Every game that fuckin releases is usually in a shit state, always accompanied by a patch or a series of overwhelmingly big patches. This is why I defend FromSoftware. They are true developers that R E F U S E to release a game under par. People might bitch about the mechanics and difficulty and whatnot. But one thing can be agreed. They dont release shitty games. About one of the very very, dwindling, very few devs left that actually give an entire fuck about their game. I think Joe will eat that game right up and should use it as a basis for how other devs should release their game.
@@zelestial1681 truth be told there are still developers out there that do a good job when it comes to creative content and quality driven. The down side is, the folks who are responsible for good content, are either ex devs or experienced ones from big studios that probably saw where the studio was going and they bailed out in time (most of them) and started their own studios. Or indie developers, the ones who do not have capital to actually develop a fully fledged medium sized to big studio. Once those people left their places, obviously the less creative, less passionate, less driven by quality folks took their places. And the only passion they have is literally to make money. And that is it. As an ex dev I can assure you that the video game developing world is poised/plagued with different types of different shapes and sizes of bad. Bad management, bad shareholding and decision making, bad or poor overall vision and perspective, bad leadership even when it comes to creative content and direction at micro and macro level. Is a nightmare, and is not going to be any better soon.
@@dimoslaros724 i feel this 100%. Huge franchises like cod or battlefield are just setting the gold standard for how to shit on people and take money. Its just aggravating is all. As a long time gamer, its quite saddening to see the state of gaming steadily decline.
@@zelestial1681 well, the death of beauty, art, ingenuity and innovation in this sense. Because we are depicting video games as artistic works "per ansamble" and what we actually deal with is capitalization and profit here. Like I was talking to somebody else in the comment sections of other videos of Angry Joe, at some point. In order to make substantial profit and be able to innovate you must let the minds that deal with creating express themselves as unhinged as possible. So that your economic income comes, even at a later stage. In the world of capitalism and economic capital, is very hard to be able to materialize innovation and revolutionzing in a certain aspect when it comes to value and quality. During our days, we are sadly the outcome and we are driven by profits and we are in slave of profits compared to actual innovation and creative, amazing, and constructive content. You have Konami, Sega as some examples, trying to make money out of building slot machines with their overexhausted franchises and put them into casinos compared to the actual intent and accent on bringing innovation and nurturing the creative spirits of it, that is very low and slow paced as an economic investment and activity. E. A. for example do it the same, with Activision, and many others. The later just push hard on the video game market and try to shift it and get the world used to it. And that is bad, in the sense that...you see what happens. I hope it makes sense and you understand.
It's nice to see some YT creators speak the truth about games. The days of games being released in unfinished states needs to come an end. Consumers are being taken for a ride here. Keep up your good work
Guess what. They never will. Because no matter what, when the next one comes out, y'all brainlets are gonna pre order it again. Just like it happened this year, just like it happens with cod every year, and the list could go on and on and on and on...
Facts, they just banned me from all their games for talking shit. Literally something everyone does in every game. Never been banned once for it, lol. No more EA games for this guy and i'm assuming a ton of other people as the shit I talk is hardly close to the worst things I hear on the regular.
if people stopped pre ordering based on pre rendered gameplay, game devs would actually have to put some effort into their games. But oh well, they‘ll shit on bf2042 and then get excited for the next one. Always the same shit.
"We are cutting Single player to dedicate more time and resources towards a more polished multiplayer" *Multiplayer comes out 4 times worse and buggy than previous games that had single player* Hate it when companies come out with these bullshit excuses. More corners cut with each consecutive release.
Agreed, Bad Company 2 was a goddamn revelation in sounddesign, it blew me away back then. 3 Was great in locating the sound source, but the adrenaline rush of BC2 was unparalleled
I remember playing Bad Company 1 and 2, was thinking "woah! this destruction is so cool, I bet it will be ridiculously cool 10 years from now!" Little did I know that that would be the most fun I would have in battlefield.
If you like destruction and chaotic gameplay, I highly recommend Red Faction Guerilla. You can even ram vehicles into buildings and the structure gets demolished, it's freaking great.
same, BF peaked with bad company 2. 1 was alright, though i put more time in BF2 than any other and have been playing since 1942, and its a shame this series has gone down in flames in such a way.
@@GamingDualities That one was eye-opening for me on sexual accusations. Women could be just as vicious as men. Whenever someone accused a man of sexual harassment, I now wait for an explanation to see which story is more consistent. Joe is a celebrity, and bad actors will always want to shake him for clout or money.
I honestly don’t understand the “Battlefield campaigns are ass anyway” argument. Battlefield 1’s war stories were extremely poignant and respectful pieces of history that made me genuinely remorseful for the young men who died in the trenches fighting for things they did not understand. Battlefield stories have been good, DICE has just gotten lazy.
Cue Ride to Hell Retribution video skit of Wicker Man where Nicholas Cage is getting bees poured on him "AAH NOT THE !" "NOT THE !" _[whip cracking noise]_
Whenever a rushed or bad game comes out, i'm always expecting an absolute masterclass of a review by Joe. And judging by the opening skit, it's already coming together nicely.
I knew 2042 would be shit when I saw the wacky specialists, no factions, no classes, only 7 maps, a laughingly small number of weapons and vehicles. DICE is not the same studio anymore.
This video is as long as a movie, yet there is no filler or bullshit. You gave a detailed and complete review of the game without wasting any time. Great review guys 👍
I can’t believe RU-vid Gaming is demonetizing one of the guys who was the foundation of building gaming up on the RU-vid Platform. 🤦🏼♂️ AngryJoe was the first RU-vidr I watched on a regular basis.
Joe supported the policies that lead to this point. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and in many ways I don't feel sorry for Joe, because he was told that this was the inevitable outcome. Censorship and corporate control via our fun social justice.
@@yazzzlet3549 Battlefront got fixed after the outrage and got tons of content and became genuenly good (Not as good as OG Pandemic BFII, but pretty good). Meanwhile this game ain't gonna ever be fixed because the specialist concept itself is the biggest problem besides bugs and lack of campaign
@@crossknight1490 No way are they that dumb? They genuinely don’t give a shit about the players enjoying their experience holy shit. EA being “they”. They fixed it, saw no improvements in profit margins and said fuck it.
At 3:50 when Joe says, "I literally cannot remember a time when I did not want to play Battlefield." was so accurate to my feelings on the game. I have friends who ask if I want to play with them and I have to say no because playing the game gives me absolutely no joy like many of the other games did.
Likewise, I've played almost every Battlefield game even fucking Vietnam and 2142 and despite those game's flaws I've had the very least some fun in them. 2042 from beta to release just made me feel dead inside.
I've been forcing my self to play it trying to get all the enjoyment I can out of it sad part is Its extremely rare to get that enjoyment so for past 2 days now just been playing the halo campaign all the way through will finish halo 1 tomorrow and on to halo 2 Better than shitfield
For real though!! BF3 & 4 were games that I could play for hours and not even care if I was winning or losing. After the betas, I didn't put any time into Hardline, BF1 and BFV, so I was beyond excited with the way this one was looking to be a return to form. Then the beta came out and my heart dropped. So grateful I didn't preorder, but still sad that I still can't get my Battlefield fix =( Edit: should clarify, no bad vibes toward BF1, just wasn't for me
I've never been more disappointed in a video game. Battlefield stole my heart with BC2. It got me into PC gaming as I built a PC just to play BF3 the way it was intended. This is such an insult to long time fans I still can't even believe it.
This is the perfect modern game, broken as shit, lying review scores, missing features, and recycling content from older better games. They should have called this "Battlefield: Modern Gaming 2021." Portal mode should have been called, "The Good Times."
If Battlefield goes back to the basics of making simple, immersive war-like gameplay that leans milsim-ish but not full-arma then they will get their fanbase back.
Their new fanbase is kids and dumb people with deep pockets or whose parents give them their credit card to shut them up. They dont care what real gamers think because the casual fans just like good graphics and explosions.
The Blue Bear he means realistic skins, armies, and ‘atmosphere’. Like BF3 and 4 multiplayer. Not necessarily gameplay… except the wingsuit. That shit is too goofy currently.
@The Blue Bear Squad is based on project reality. A mod for BF2. But base game BF2 was way more like a milsim than current BF games. One of the main reasons for that IMHO is because since BF3 dice felt the need to increasingly make it so that people behave like they're wearing rocket boosted roller skates. They zoom around and fly over walls, all to get us into the shooty shooty action sooner as though we're all ADHD kids who hit the fast forward button whenever John Wick has a dialogue scene that goes on longer than 30 seconds. They build fantastic looking worlds with amazing sound design. I firmly believe that would allow them to tone down the Micheal Bay without people getting bored. You can see how ludicrously fast it all is if you stop to focus on any weighted item rigged to a player models body. It flaps and bounces around crazily.
Remember the good old days when you'd put a video game disc in and just play the game, no 150GB installs, good campaign stories, no micro transactions....Modern gaming is con
I agree with everything that was said. I genuinely wonder what those people at DICE were doing during development time, I swear any one of us here could’ve come up with better ideas for literally everything in this game
@@drunkenn1nja the maps were ready very early. the systems they implemented sucked. there were enough diffrent ways to handle specialists. like make them models you can still customize if you fucking want instead of forcing change were none was wanted. EA sucks massive donkey dick but DICE is as much at fault.
@@drunkenn1nja how did ea push them? This has been the longest development cycle on a bf game since bf3 came out and it seems like it was slapped together in 8 months yet they had a few years to develop it
22 guns! BF4 had 20 knives and like 100 guns.. Collecting the guns from dlc achievements was very satisfying. It was cool to pick up a gun and not recognize it or it had different attachments than you own and later when you unlock the rare gun it felt so good.
I just don't get why the sound design has gone so downhill. The past few Battlefields have had some of the best sound design in ANY game, let alone the FPS genre. The ambient effects, the bullets whizzing past, the audio mix totally changing depending on your location from in-vehicle to interiors. The soundscaping was one of the best in the industry and it actually sounded like you were really there in a warzone. It immersed you so much, how did they go backwards on this?
Rumour has it _none_ of the sound people from the previous Battlefields worked on this one, though I don't remember whether it was a simple attrition, a mass layoff or DICE actually outsorcing that part and not rehiring the same studio. A demonstration of why game companies being shitty places to work for is a problem for players too either way.
The loss of destructibility is devastating, destructibility made BF3 so good, the whole map would change over course of a battle and actually make you feel like its been through a war. Like metro with the tile pillars being destroyed and giving less cover or the apartment building having no cover because the whole walls were missing.
now all dice does is make maps. these aren't new games. just updated versions. no campaign either. i didnt buy bf5. campaign too short. as long as people keep buying battle royale games, companies will keep getting away with charging money for games that arent new. how many battle royale games are people going to buy?
I love destructible environment and I agree they screwed us over I mean it won't be anything like the awesome destruction of Red faction Armageddon and gorilla but still. It may as well be a call of duty game at this point without the destructible environment.
BF 2042 deserves a 2/10 maybe 2.5/10 if they do fix more stuff and even then the damage they done is way too much especially due to them not only being a legacy company that has done 1 million times better with older games in the same space. Literally in perspective Cyberpunk 2077 is 3 times better and less scummy then BF 2042 because of the cash grabs and 4 battle passes and it being 100 dollars plus. Atleast Cyberpunk 2077 was 60 dollars. Allowed refunds, more patches, and no future cashgrabs with battle passes/shop etc
Breaks my heart how EA/Dice has slowly destroyed this franchise. Once upon a time there was no better military shooter! It takes some impressive effort to 'F' it this bad!
Battlefield died to me a while back, so this doesn't hurt me much. Everyone should just focus on the GOAT, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and their last good game Battlefield 1.
when everyone is corrupt, we can still rely on the honest review of angryjoe, he will Always tell you how it really is and That is why we all love him so much!
While I have loved Joe for ages, some of his content ends up being longer than it needs to be, and in this case it shows, as at least half of the issues he has were patched over a week ago, and aren't really relevant anymore. I'm disappointed in the game in many ways as well, but it's still fun, albeit too expensive
@@sh0 he said multiple times in the review that he is reviewing the title at release. It doesn't matter that the issues have been resolved, they shouldn't have been there in the first place to even warrant a patch.
100%. Been watching him for what feels like for ever now. Gotta be 10 years or just about. This guy has maintained his integrity at the top for THAT long! Incredible. So much respect.
It’s honestly astounding how it isn’t illegal to release a game in this state. I understand video games are considered an art form and what not, but at the end of the day it’s a product that you’re selling to people. Imagine you went to a car dealership to buy a new car, and instead of giving you the car you wanted from the lot, they instead gave you one without brakes or tires and, and said “sorry, this car is in beta, you’ll get the brakes and tires in half a year”. That’s how this game feels
Games are legally in a weird spot. At the same time they sell you a product but it doesn't follow consumer laws.. it's trying to get away from warranties and such by using service related laws. It's so weird how they managed to do that since it allows them to not have to keep promises.
They couldnt get away with this shit back then when there were no online updates to just patch it later its ridiculous!! Pay full price for a game that doesnt have to be complete or even function correctly its insane!!!
@@jujuinator They don't even do real betas now. They just release the beta as the full game and a year later the bugs are gone. That's why I wait 1 year before buying any new game, nonw of them work at launch...
@@drdre4397 The problem with that is that games die like less than a year after they launch. So by the time the game is finally fixed, it’s already dead.
Taking out the scoreboard also kills a lot of the competitive spirit. I used to play BF4 and challenge myself to get the highest I could on the board, one of my major points of enjoyment while playing was to see the result of my efforts when I rose at or near the top. There are so many reasons why the scoreboard is important to most FPS games, the idea of excluding it over sensibilities is totally asinine.
I miss being the top one with like 10 kills because my headshots counted for like 1000 score when sniping lol I was completely fine when they removed the marksman bonus from affecting the scoreboard to let other people take the spot lol
Also the fact that most of the score you accumulate is through team work and objective based that it encourages you to play the objective without it there’s no incentive to team play
Man I remember in Battlefield 1 I was playing conquest and when the match ended I was at the top with 168 kills and only 8 deaths I felt so fucking cool and I even got some friends requests because of that
....This is hands down the LONGEST Angry Review of all time. For a series that Joe cares about so much and seeing it in this state? So deserving of the length and amount of tough love.
Removal of campaign is always a warning sign. It's never "oh we're going to use the resources we would spend on that to improve the multiplayer," it's "so the investors can take the money that would have been spent on that and put it into their pockets."
all due respect sir, yes, but no. You normally spend 4-5 hrs in the campaign and then perhaps 1000 hrs in the MP. That argument is bad. I personally never cared for campaign when it came to BF franchise. What is mind blowing is that building a 5hrs campaign cost as much as building the MP part for most part. Truth is that the game should not release in such a state like ever. With or without campaign.
The addition of campaign to the battlefield series was purely just to attract new players and console players. Original battlefield players will remember before they made bad company 1 and the first battlefield campaign.
"We used campaign development money to develop monetary campaign content like skins, loot boxes, and other cringy shit the industry loves but players hate."
@@theadamwarlockkcm1150 Yeah, I remember he would constantly interupt Other Joe and Alex, though out of excitement rather than malice. Nice to see he's trying his best.
Indie games is where it's at. AAA game dev is getting too time consuming and expensive, so companies pull this shit. Also, fans still buy it. But it definitely stemmed from the insane cost of AAA game dev. When I think of AAA, I think of very polished graphics, audio, and gameplay mechanics. Graphics & sound usually are pretty good, but the mechanics are always so bad and broken that it doesn't matter. There's also a lack of passion in huge game titles and it really shows. Indie games may not look like real life but at least they work, they are fun, and they have charm to them because the devs actually enjoy what they are doing

Thank you for calling out these AAA developers. I remember playing Battlefield 2 back when I was a kid. Super epic game and it was made back in '05. You booted that game up and you were just a nameless soldier... nothing but a number... a cog in the war machine for either America, the MEC or the Chinese. It was fantastic. This 2042 one looks like garbage. Generic humans fighting other generic humans with a laughable attempt at making them "hip" and "cool".
Named character = personality = skins = emotes = post-game quips. All for sale on the store, within a month. It’s the MAIN reason they changed over to Specialists and it’s so fucking obvious it stinks.
@@zemo2916 In BF2 if you played as the Middle Eastern Coalition and you used voice commands, your character would actually speak in Arabic over the radio. Shit like that was so cool. Now we have these cartoonish looking "specialists" with corny sayings. It just feels like the game is marketed for children but it's rated 17+. It's just beyond goofy to me.
Ohh I know bro... Now a days all they care about is money and political correctness over historical correctness. I don't know if we will ever feel what we got to feel as a kid again with 2 and vietban
Since it's already an established fact that everything woke goes to shit, could this be the result of new developers hired only for the sake of "diversity and inclusion''?
I haven’t these issues of getting booted so what’s the problem I have 1070 I have no high dollar gpu and a lot of the problems been fixed still awhile to go but acting like nothing happened is to stupid
@@projectalice3436 you have the same attitude of a beaten wife in an abusive relationship. "It's OK, sometimes he's sweet to me, I know he loves me deep down"
I only played Bad Company 1 but back then I thought to myself, when destruction has got this good, future titles will have one of the best game physics ever. Well...
Welcome to my world of JRPGs... When in the past I had games like Xenogears/Final Fantasy VII-IX... I thought MAN, just think and imagine the future worlds and stories of JRPGs... Cut 10-20 years into the future and it feels like I am in hell... like wtf happened!!!??
2:42 I love how they all have their classic looks. Joe is angry and heavily disappointed, Alex has got that up eyebrow look like 'yup, that was bad.." and other Joe has the disappointed already indifferent look
It's funny, when Alex first started appearing it felt weird but now I'd be really sad if he stopped joining in. I've grown to really like the feel of Joe Alex and OJ just talking about the game.
That was the absolute best intro skit. We will forever remember the launch days of no revives in a wall...and how sometimes two or more other players would gather around you like you were on your death bed feeling bad they couldn't revive you.
Conspiracy theory: DICE ditched the scoreboard because they either know they can't stop or don't want to spend the time/money to stop hackers. If you can't tell that headshot694200000 has 140 kills and 2 deaths, you're not likely to report them. You're likely to write off their impossible killshots as net code or lag or whatever because you now can't prove it. Suddenly there are "less hackers" in Battlefield. Problem that's been plaguing the series for years: solved! High fives all around! :D
Nah that's a little too short-sighted IMO. Hackers are problematic, yeah, but not to such an extent. Besides, that solves nothing. I think it's more to do with how they want to make the game more... "accessible" to a wider audience. OR maybe it's just because whoever worked on this doesn't have a clue and thought they were innovating.
I heard it said recently about another really awful game that 'calling it garbage is an insult to garbage because even the contents of trash were functional at one point.'
In any given game, when you herd that start if you didnt run to a spot to see it fall you always got a free kill from someone else watching. It was never not epic.
It’s a shame, the optimistic fans bring up that bf4 was broken at first too, but that game always had a solid direction. This games direction is on the apex/cod wave, no matter how they fix bugs, that’s not changing. I’m good, that’s not battlefield. If I want to play cod, I’ll play cod.
I would rather them bring bots to older titles for offline play or even do a reboot of bf3 or something. Bf4 is still good but hackers are taking over.
Wasn’t lacklustre at launch either. Had way more maps, server browser, basic features and significantly more weapons from day one, naval combat and no doubt more things in forgetting
If you go back and play BF3, you get the feeling that we’re just another grunt in the machine. The voice over lines are superb and really make you feel like you’re in the battle, either giving the enemy hell or having your ass handed to you. That’s the battlefield experience that I think we’re really missing out on with this latest release. The experience of everyone trying to pull together for the win because you were all just grunts.
2:21 Can we just all take a moment and appreciate that Joe still plays the same intro song for every review? I was mad when "Game Theory" changed their 8 bit intro into a more modern version. This AJ review song gets me pumped every single time shockingly enough.
Just dropping in to say Darby Crash was the shit. He'll probably never get the credit as Punk's answer to Kurt Cobain or Jim Morrison, but he fucking was.
The trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Vietnam has more character by itself than anything in BF2042. There isn’t a single unique bone in its body
