SeanBeansShako posted:At the end of the day realism is all fine and dandy but it goes in the back seat if it is going to make the gameplay suck. I like my online vehicles at a decent speed and not breaking down unless being blown up. It's more important to be immersive (creating the illusion of a real, organic world) than to be realistic (following all the rules of a real world). Shattered Horizon, for example, was pretty goddamn immersive despite having automatically-healing spacesuits and infinite jetpack fuel.

Digirat posted:Letting players host their own servers with broad custom settings is great when the population is big enough for there to be servers with good settings, but yeah for some reason a huge number of players want servers with really dumb poo poo like 1000 tickets instant vehicle respawn, or knife-only. And for whatever reason, these people seem to stay around longer than the ones who just want to play a balanced game. Back then I thought knife servers were just a way to easily get the secret knife unlock but apparently people actually liked knife servers for what they were. Also BF2142's hit detection is fine

Digirat posted:The hit detection works with guns, but the knife and defibrillator are incredibly awkward to use as weapons. you attack from an inch away at someone who is standing still or prone and somehow don't hit them, then move around from other angles and still don't hit them. After having this happen to me, in the same match I tried to revive someone when an enemy charged around the corner, and I accidentally defibrillated the gently caress out of him from 3 feet away. His body went flying. Yeah that poo poo's broken but I haven't had much difficulty hitting dudes in 2142.

404notfound posted:I canceled my preorder, signed up for Origin Access, and re-preordered for a few bucks less, with the added bonus of being able to start on the 13th instead of the 18th. From what I've gathered the First Trial and the Preload are two separate things. Also, the First Trial will only let you play for 10 hours until the 18th. Honestly I'm not sure how they'll handle something like multiplayer (maybe they'll have a special event so everyone plays at once?). If nothing else it'll be a good time to run through the single player.

A couple of years ago when EA won the "Worst Company in America" award from the Consumerist for the second time in a row everyone at EA shat their pants (for some perspective, none of the other companies who won the award ever really reacted apart from a limp-wristed PR release). I honestly think that was a wake-up call for them, along with SimCity 2013's abject failure. The progress is slower than we'd like, but they're taking steps to improve, which is good.

Battlefield 1 is great. Played all the singleplayer you're allowed to play and a little bit of the multiplayer. The writing's pretty good, sound is flawless and visuals are incredible. Edward x McManus OTP

Really? drat, EA. drat. Battlefield 2 with all the expansions cost $100 which is about $123 in 2016 money The $130 edition contains more content than paying $123 bucks would get you in 2006, but yes EA is totally jewing you here, waah DLC is manipulative why can't we go back a decade when games cost the same amount of money for the same stuff (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Kawabata posted:please keep defending both EA dumb business models and DLCs, we're listening Honestly? EA's offering a service where for $5.40 a month you get unlimited access, Netflix-style, to a catalog of (mostly) critically-acclaimed games. If Valve were to do this kind of thing but for $9.99 and half the size of the catalog people would go ballistic over how great of a deal it is. I get that in the past EA has done some really scummy poo poo and they've hosed up a ton, but I honestly believe that post-2014 when they won Worst Company In America from Consumerist twice in a row they decided to get their act together and actually provide a good service. Origin Access, along with some of their other decisions, reflect that.

Loving the single player stories. I really hope they plan to do some DLC that gives us more war stories involving the empires they plan to add. The Runner actually made me want to play an old-school FPS starring Fredrick Bishop, running around blasting Ottomans while wisecracking.

Monocled Falcon posted:War stories are merely okay. Not enough content, tone is really weird, considering the prologue. I agree with the last point. Prologue's theme was about the fragility of human life, then the war stories are all about superhuman feats of bravery. I think the stories are still great, though. Exciting and tense (especially on Hard, which is what I'm playing on), the main and supporting characters are all written well, and the actual gameplay is unique enough to make it enjoyable as single-player while keeping enough elements from multi-player to make what you learn applicable in the "real game."

WirelessPillow posted:As much as I see people talk about medics hanging back, Don't. Get in there, be violent, if you run out of bullets use your sidearm (revolver for hip fire awesomeness). learn how to be right inside the explosive zones and still stay relatively safe with cover while throwing those medkits everywhere. gently caress, throw medkits on the ground even if nobody is around if you are running to a point, who knows if someone behind you might need it. Just don't be passive. This, but applied to all the classes. Even when I play scout I jump into the fight and merk people at short/midrange with the SMLE.

I'd qualify that with "past 100 yards", but last night there were some close-up shots in Amien that had me screaming WTF. The big blocky front post doesnt help, but I can usualy get past things like that (hello BF4 M60) I have problems with that gun too. Going from the SMLE to it made me feel so inaccurate that it made me just go back to the SMLE.

The campaign was great. I don't really see what people mean when they say the writing's corny. I guess there's dumb bits but it really wasn't worse than your average single-player storyline. The characters were all well-written and memorable, the gameplay was fantastic (particularly the behind-enemy-lines setpieces where you got the option of stealth), the music was amazing, and I guess while the tone of the singleplayer shifted from the prologue to the actual chapters that's really the only mark against it that I can give. Up there with Doom 2016 for singleplayer experiences this year IMO.

They're going to port Battlefield 4 away from Battlelog and into its own native application at some point, but not yet. Same with Hardline.

Bohemian Nights posted:you know what would have had a ton of variety in guns, vehicles and gadgets? Zzulu posted:Yeah I would like a new Battlefield: Future War BF2142 had a great setting full of verisimilitude and believability. Everything felt grounded in reality, like the conflict and the tools involved felt like they could actually be things used in a war in the year 2142 (minus the more fantastical stuff like the titan shields and hover plates). I totally want a BF2142 with a BF1-style single player, where you follow different soldiers through different maps and campaigns. One campaign can even involve a civilian in Camp Gibraltar who gets caught in the crossfire and has to pick up a rifle to defend himself, or a campaign where you pilot an L5 Riesig on a peacekeeping mission to hold back food riots in Verdun.
