DICE Is Incompetent & Out of Touch (Battlefield 2042) 

Don’t be sad it’s just how it works out sometimes

Great video, Act Man. You're big enough now that there's no way the video doesn't circulate through DICE/EA

Love ya Act Man

Players: “EA plz fix” EA: “I missed the part where that’s my problem.”

are you ever going to do a gears of war video? i mean if 2042 can get one its only fair

I think we need a version with walkie-talkies instead of weapons.

Kind of a brutal expectation there...

Apparently branding is a legacy feature

This is what happens when they pander to an audience that don't buy or play battlefield at all. Fcking woke shits man.

I thought eating and popping are legacy features.

@@stagger9660 just stop feeding them, with money. Most of gamehouses cant get a dime from me for years.

Just look at fromsoft they’ve been giving their customers what they’ve wanted for years.

@@pbonfanti I see this repeated so much so often for so many years, yet fools never learn and always come crawling back. Because these big tentpole game franchises are tied to their personal identities now. They're an "X" fan and so are their friends, and they have years and years of memories and feelings tied to it to the point where even if it has become absolute garbage, and they hate it, they can't quit it. 90% of the people who say they're done with a franchise will be back for the next one. And there will always be new fresh doe-eyed customers with lower standards and the inexperienced palate of youth ready to replace the few who actually leave.

Only way to EA is going change is when we stop buying and pre ordering their games. Imagine if most people waited a week or so from release instead of buying this at launch.

@@zen_7748 Literally makes no difference to EA because they already got your money.

Kinda sad when you say a flash in the pan, dying game like Halo Infinite caused all his. Like actually sad that a room full of people thought this was the best angle to play.

Where lmao if thats true that is hilarious

That's doubly sad considering Halo Infinite released in just as bad of a state as BF2042 and is seeing players leave in droves. What the hell is happening? How are two of the biggest names in the FPS genre competing for 5K players on Steam?

@@HCG my god you ratio'd him

Actually I heard that most of the people behind the engine left leaving people that don't know how to do much, hence the state 2042 was when it released.

This DICE is only DICE in name. Like, 95% of people that did the previous battlefield games have left. And it shows.

Yeah, apparently their dice is weighted to roll snake eyes Not sure why they would do that, but definitely not outside the realm of something they would do

That was something right

Nah I'm sad.

EA DOES IT AGAIN

And unless they do a massive team effort to win the objective, the map will never change or regenerate to what it was, only be reduced to lower and lower pieces

Well, well, well, that was fun.

This really shouldn't even be the hard; they should be able to make this happen.

What I want is another 2142. That is the most underrated Battlefield game. Titan Mode hasn't been replicated in any game since.

Game still shit, but im pretty sure the 'Love letter' was 'Portal', not the game itself.

My first and last battlefield game is bf3 lol

This "love letter" is like the love letters written by neckbeards

They have too much money

Abit like Disney now calling star wars fans yet again racist because views are down lol

When EVERYONE hates your game then you just have to find the racists who are equally represented amongst them.

Because the current companies are taken over by oversensitive manchildren who are literally incapable of dealing with any kind of criticism. Sure, there's idiots who take it too far with the death threats and such, but devs nowadays behave just a childish.

The funny thing is that I would actually get behind devs slamming entitled assholes in the playerbase (instead of listening to them which has ruined so. many. games.) but, uuuuh... to be in a position to do that, your game shouldn't look like an alpha version, because that kind of invalidates your position completely.

But I find that I reach the destination faster without the dash!

NO SCOREBOARDS BRO WHAT IT'S A FPS

I personally have this semi belief its so the console people cant see the pc cheaters, "our best anti cheat system to date" or however they spin this shit

@@oldmatedave2382 it's the same reason they tell you kills+assists together instead of making them separate numbers cause they don't want people getting picked on for not doing well, same thing happened with MW2019. They're not selling the games to you, they're selling it to your kids.

The 2 girls playing it need a safe space

@@theronraam23 yeah for the most part I agree, but we could balance it out, if you do 95% of damage and some utter torglodyte gets the last hit, I think you should get a assist counts as kill.

It to prevent toxicity and to entice the casuals to pay micro transactions

I knew Battlefield would get worse. You need to watch Decline of Gaming. Why you people expect from today gaming? Don't be a pet of gaming.

Saw you on the new bill Wurtz video as well as the Halo video as well as fifty thousand other videos

They've lost touch with their player audience. I guarantee those decisions were made by some people that are currently ruining the gaming industry thinking that removing score boards and voip would combat "toxicity". These big publishers let these people into their companies that seek to water their games down to the point where they're just a shell of their former selves and EA needs this. Dice needs this, they need a wake up call because they're clearly asleep.

“My dude”

Dude they didn't take steps. They took Hulk sized LEAPS backwards. While in Moon Gravity. And in World-Breaker Hulk State.

It makes me so angry that I can't climb a wall anymore. While in BF5, it was a feature to climb up things that are higher up than your player

How the fuck does a game not have voice chat? A triple A multiplayer game. W hat

@@hongo3870 right 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@hongo3870 Seriously. Voice chat is one of the easiest things you can implement. You don't even need to code it from scratch.

A scoreboard. A scoreboard!? It is a competitive shooter, how are you suposed to get motivated to be better if you do not have one. If you are not motivated, you are just playing to waste time.

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half.

FUCKING GOAT COMMENT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LMAO, although I wouldn't blame DICE nearly as much as EA. EA has say over what dice can do. And I'm sure any devs that wanted more time before release were told no and to work harder

A truly immersive experience

Fuck that hits hard.

Then just play non triple A games, bruh

stop playing AAA games and try a different genre go play a Tales game, you´ll love it, trust me

Go play indie games like Hollow Knight or Sifu! The indie market has been really improving as of late! Or just DO YOUR RESEARCH on triple a games before you buy them!

I started playing older games and jrpg's somewhere around May/June in 2021 and it was a damn good decision that I have made. (Persona 4 Golden and Trails of Cold Steel were the very first jrpg's i bought) I got so bored of AAA games, i almost quit gaming. Honestly, it is difficult for me to go back now.

What makes players toxic ... is bad parenting. Period. If parents invest some time into teaching basic manners to their brats and put effort into making them nice and caring persons...no toxicity

@@voxdraconia4035In all fairness, we can't rely on everyone being good parents when it comes to toxicity. Toxicity has to be accepted as something that you'll occasionally come across in society. There are two ways to then deal with it. You either discourage it socially and make people more tolerant of it through exposure, or you outright ban it as much as you can and effectively keep people within a safety bubble at all times. Video games in particular in recent years, in their attempts to deal with "toxicity," have become shells of their former selves. By getting rid of things as basic as voice chat (or making it opt-in, guaranteeing most won't use it), you don't get a sense of community or socialization. It used to be possible to make new friends to play games with through multiplayer games - nowadays everyone just goes on a private Discord or voice chat server of their choice with a couple of friends and there's no interactions to be had. It has gotten really bad. We need parenting to both deal with raising kids to not be toxic, and also to not be so easily offended by the words of random strangers - kids need to be taught and raised to be emotionally mature. Yet even if we had such a parenting shift, what people complain about as "toxicity" in the modern day is so laughable that I don't think we could ever really eliminate it.

BFV should get its Russian DLC. I would take that over BF2042 every day and twice on Sunday. At least that game feels like battlefield. Maybe they need a focus group on how to do what the community fucking wants?

That’s so disappointing. Just demonstrates how much the suits push what makes the most money vs what makes a good game.

Sometimes to make money you just need a good game but they cant see that.

why take responsibility and tell your shareholders that you failed to create a product, when you can tell them that it wasnt your fault? these statements are made to tell shareholders that everything is fine and that these problems are just irregular things out of their control

People will still pre order the next battlefield which is the reason why nothing has changed 60-80 dollars for a broken battlefield with only 1 mode and people still pre ordered and bought it which just shows to ea that the consumers will buy any dogshit they shit out

Ah yes halo infinite launching was definitely the reason why battlefield 1 and 5 player counts suddenly increased....

That is pathethic come from EA and DICE. Imagine Coca-Cola blaming Dr. Pepper because the low sales.

@@RNST7 EA statement. No joke, they clearly said that...

@@oSitaRuSo This is just seriously telling of how idiotic EA as a publisher. They're different niches in shooter games. There's definitely some overlap in target audience, but at the core, they're two different experiences. Battlefield has more grounding in realism which is what the players of battlefield want. Besides, if we look at the steam population charts, it definitely paints a different picture that most of the battlefield players are going back to 5.

@@tylerbarse2866 if I recall correctly even BF 4 has more people now. In this era of remaster/remakes EA had just one job : reskin BF3 or BF4. Or dare I to dream take good things from both and some mechanics from bf5 and 1. Boom !! Succes. Well I am sad now, dreaming hurts.

Its pretty much a demo disguised asa beta

I hate to break it to you buddy, but these "betas" are little more than server stress tests. The release client is already well on its way or already made, and you just bought into another of their tricks to secure easy preorders.

@@Natalietrans yep, Bungie is a prime example of that.

I do know that quite a few people in DICE moved to other places after BF3/4. Doesn’t surprise me if whatever’s left barely pulled the new people together to make BF1, then when those little few left we got V and this.

As soon as I learned about that, I knew it was gonna be a disaster

100% agree. That alone turned me off during the Beta.

100% true. I could look past most of the problems if it still had classes in the main multiplayer mode. That would be enough for me to come back.

The specialists are what mainly influenced me not to buy the game to begin with. Adding operators and removing most class limitations would completely disintegrate the sorts of teamwork that Battlefield was iconic for. Not to mention how the game made you feel like a faceless, expendable soldier on the Battlefield in past games.

If you're looking for a game that has that mechanic and isn't an older Battlefield game then I recommend Planetside 2. It's free to play and just had a new update adding a new map to their other continent sized maps. FYI though it does have over shields like Halo

I mean we have something to lose (our job) but they can just bs their way out of any blame

thats assuming each season is actually an upgrade often they'll add more bugs than features or remove something players love or just completely wreck the balancing of the game cause ehhh why not

Cod Mobile does it pretty well, each season seems to last around a month so the changes are near constant and keeps the game fresh.

The idea of Seasons is alright but If you use seasons as a Excuse to not put content in the game.

Yeah working in fast food taught me that lol.

There's a documentary series made by the Swedish state media called "Det Svenska Spelundret" or roughly "The Swedish Video Game Wonder" where they go through the history of video games in Sweden. I watched it while sick a few weeks ago and in it they cover the Battlefield series and the origins of DICE. Seeing that small collection of original misfits go from making pinball games to brute-forcing together a functioning 3d engine was honestly pretty inspirational. Quite a contrast to the DICE which sees scoreboards as "brutal expectations".

Sadly, it's happening that way to a ton of different game companies...They get bought out by a corporation that milks their major franchises into the ground and moves on to the next.

Same goes with Blizzard, they haven’t made a good game since WotLK.

Yup. 100% this. It's almost like every game dev companies who have vets working have already left and all the shitty new devs are working on these games now and they're being released half ass & broken

It's woke Dice. They got no talent or knowledge. At least they have diverse people but seems like they aren't really talented or useful.

@Bo Sann same, although they managed to redeem the game later on.

Cyberpunk 2077 Should've Convinced You

EA had its best year ever in 2021 despite Battlefield's failure. Remember, their revenue comes almost entirely from sports games and microtransactions now. Battlefield doesn't even account for 5% of their revenue anymore. Activision Blizzard also had its best year ever in 2021 in spite of the big scandal. The gaming public has gotten significantly dumber since the 80s. They happily throw their money at companies that hate them and then act surprised when they get served garbage. EA will be fine.

It's not impatient gamers. You can't promise shareholders a delivery date and not deliver it. We are not their customers. We are a metric of how well the investment of their real customers is going. Look up ESG. We are not consumers. We are the products.

its the customers fault. as long as millions of people keep buying, even preordering, unfinished games, the publishers arent going to change their tactics. i vowed never to buy another game from EA, Ubisoft or Activision over 10 years ago and havent really missed them. If something original comes out that has passable gameplay, like Far Cry 3, which happens very rarely, i dont feel bad about pirating it. Basically the only big release I have bought in past couple years, after pirating it to try it out, is Borderlands 3, because Gearbox actually knows how to treat their customers respectfully and doesnt launch games in unplayable state.

I haven't played Battlefield 2042, but I know it's one big elimination, if you know what I mean. Also, not showing deaths? I can't even wrap my mind around that. What _do_ you see?

Hey! Hey!!!! You cant say kills!!! My 8 year old is trying to buy a purple disco skin on this game and saying the word kill is offensive to me and my child. I know this game says its rated M but that does not give you the right to say such awful things like death and kill. I prefer the word eliminations so me and my good Christian family can enjoy this shooter game in peace. /s

But Halo still stifles interaction by disabling voice chat by default and not having pre- or post-game lobbies.

Not gonna lie, I really like the pacific maps of Battlefield 5. That's actually a lot of fun for me, but the Europe front is pretty eh.

For real

@@u.s.citizen9933 the EU front is not bad at all, but definitely carried hard by the gameplay and completely overshadowed by the Pacific front

BFV was a good game overall. It had a ruff start but I think it's fun for sure now. It just has to compete with BF1 and well let's be honest BF1 was as close to perfect as any game has ever gotten. Though when I saw that they had black females with prosthetic limbs on the frontlines in BFV, I knew that the next Battlefield was going to be a shit show.

@@wilhelmhetrick8948 yup just pandering I felt the same! I played the Alpha, Beta and thousands of hours on BF1 that game was just crazy good

Following business ethics rather than common sense that’s what happen

Get all the money for it now, finish the game later, rake in the good will from people who are super impressed that we finished the game instead of just abandoning it. GG.

Most publicly traded companies these days don’t make money from selling a product, they make money from investors. (Obviously selling a product is important and necessary, but it’s more for revenue than profit.) You get more money by showing growth and progress, so releasing a new game on schedule is designed to appeal to those investors and keep money coming in to the company. This is also why so many games that release in bad shape can seemingly stick around for years and end up being fixed (or at least improved). There’s a balance though, and creating a DOA title that misses target sales and bleeds almost its entire player base in the first months is on the wrong side of that. You see this a lot with VC funded startups, it’s not unique to gaming. It’s just an unfortunate feature of the way investment and profit works these days.

It's all in the name of short term gains. Push a product out, even if it ain't finished, within Q4 to rake in the Holiday sales. It doesn't matter what happens to the game months after because all the execs at the top have already patted themselves on the back and received their bonuses. It's all just a giant circle-jerk for them.

Those people probably never have even played a video game, let alone one of their own. It really shows in their decision making.

holy shit what a roast

It’s not even worth it to pirate the game either
