If this video is true on face value it makes me wonder a lot of about Devops/IT at DICE/EA and how fuckin' bad it must be to work there in that position. Like holy lol. Also, it's amusing to think between the choice of making a BR game and this, DICE accidentally chose the idea that probably wasn't gonna be panned as "lol you thought THIS would compete with Fortnight, Warzone, and PubG? [assuming APEX wasn't known about]"

Working as a videogame dev seems like the most miserable existence. Shitloads of extremely long hours, extremely high rates of turnover (burnout, leaving for higher positions elsewhere, imposed contract length, etc.), dealing with gamers bitching at you constantly...why anyone would choose that is beyond me.

Is Video Game dev different than regular dev? It's normal in computer toucher land to peace out every two to three years because  means your best opportunity for more perks and figgies is to rotate jobs on a fairly consistent and high tempo way.

Pay, hours, vacation and other benefits are all better in the general software industry. I know lots of programmers who are passionate about games, and they just make games as a side hobby, cos gently caress going into that industry.

What's the trick to shooting down caspers drone? Dosen't happen often but last night we were being hassled by one while tanking and for the life of us couldn't hit it with the top MG at all. Even popped out and emptied a few mags at it and couldn't hit it at all. Does it just have a super small hitbox?

Gish posted:What's the trick to shooting down caspers drone? You have to lead it quite a bit and if the operator is moving erratically it can be hard. Mostly you lead in the direction you think it will go and two-tap with an assault rifle. I have pretty good success shooting them down and periodically look for them just to reduce the number of c5 drones there are

The hitbox is absurdly small and it'll warp around, so it's extra hard to shoot or even hack instead of being an obvious target.

of the 'what went wrong with bf2042' vids i think they massively, hugely overstate how much of an impact length of employment matters to, like, anything at all. Maybe if it was ~6 month empoyees, but 2-5 years? they should be plenty up to speed by then. imo that also is dumping a lot of the responsibility of both dice and ea being hugely dysfunctional, motivation sucking, corporate shitholes to work at onto the devs themselves. Dice also has the added issue of having particularly weird in-house leadership, too. Add in how much of a clusterfuck frostbite reportedly has been to work with since basically day one (and ironically one of the big complaints even like a decade ago was that barely anyone knew how to do stuff with frostbite) and yeah no poo poo the final product under-delivers on a ton of features. the qa issues with the environment being very non-conducive to feedback and with a lot of executive dictated gameplay/design decisions on the other hand hit home a lot more, imo also lowkey there's a lot of very smart series-typical rock-paper-scissors design in bf2042 that gets buried under or subverted by lovely performance/optimization and really perplexing game/map/operator design decisions. personally I think that a lot of the necessary pieces are there, but the performance issues (seriously you're releasing an fps that runs like poo poo and has substantial input lag because of it and charging $60+ for it in 2021?) and a bunch of the maps being just flat, open fishbowls with little to no cover for significant amounts of several maps is just self-sabotage. I'd say it's lazy, but tbh it seems more like they just badly ran out of time tldr: i blame the game coming out now and not being left in the over for another 12 months far, far, far more than the devs only being there for a few years. tbh if you remove the operators you've basically just got a modern bf4 with looser classes, I think they actually hit a lot of the bf dna stuff pretty well
