Game is fun, but yeah - the build is really rough. Lots of graphical hiccups (flickering, etc.) on Series X, although the framerate was fine.

Would love to be able to talk about my experience so far in the EA Play trial but the servers are still hosed on Xbox so basically I can just talk about this boat. Which is a pretty decent looking boat. Man, kinda weird that a few months back everyone thought that COD was making GBS threads the bed and that BF was going to take the crown this fall and now the tides have really turned.

Who was the genius who thought forcing you right off the bat into a really dumb tutorial match without asking was a great idea.

I have to play for a while to get back into the swing of things, right now it has that early BF issue of feeling like I’m running a long way to get domed by someone I can’t even see, and then rinsing and repeating.

You can play early if you have Gamepass Ultimate or EA Play Pro, using the 10h free trial option. You don't even have to use a VPN. Folks who bought the ultimate package across platforms can play starting tomorrow, as well (at 3am EST, I think, at least on Origin). Some Euro site did a pricing error last week and I managed to snag the ultimate version for $50, and I am feeling extremely good about the purchase. Having played some more, I think it's actually pretty decent, albeit with a fair amount of launch jank. When poo poo is popping off it's definitely very cool and feels decently next-gen on console. I'm excited to crank poo poo up to ultra on my PC tomorrow. poo poo did 100% crash and turn my Series X off though so  gunna continue to I guess.

Maybe this is just the “Battlefield experience” but it feels like 99% of my time is just getting domed by people with sniper rifles that I can’t see with basically no recourse. Like is there a reason to use another gun because the sniper seems like it’s basically a rail gun.

This game is so weird. I think it looks fantastic and I really appreciate the scale, but I also feel like I play like absolute dogshit and it's frustrating. I think the maps being so huge and it feeling like it takes forever to get to points/back into the action contributes to it for sure. Also a healthy dose of it feeling like TTK on me is extremely low, but I dump bullets into enemies and they just shrug it off.

I paid $50 for the ultimate version and I kinda feel like I got my money’s worth. It’s fun in that the “battlefield moments” are there, but as it is I don’t really feel like it has great legs. The competition is just kind of better this year - Vanguard feels better to play and feels more rewarding match-to-match, while Halo (based on the flight testing) just feels like it’s going to absolutely dumpster both of them when it launches. Hopefully a few months down the line they’ll add some additional maps, balance and tweak the shooting, and the battle passes will add some needed flavor. Nothing does pure spectacle in MP quite like BF, though, I’ll give them that. First game in a while that made me feel really good about getting a new 3070.

Skyarb posted:I thought vanguard was getting panned? Is it actually good? Seems like nonsense "red dots on every WW2" kinda weird nonsense. It’s basically MW with a WW2 veneer. It’s pretty clearly focused on core gameplay over being in any way “true to history”, and the setting is technically an alternate history WW2 so it’s whatever. Loads better than Cold War and probably close to as good as MW was, for sure.

veni veni veni posted:How did you get it for so cheap?! I got super lucky and some Euro shop did a pricing error for like an hour. Apparently I wasn’t the only one because it leveled their website, but I managed to get my order through, lol.
