Hope people dont sleep on BFV, it's the real deal. Feels so much better than BF1, my friends and I are all enjoying it so much more than BF4 and BF1. It's just phenomenal, and I can't wait for more content already.
Definitely feels like this game is way better than the last 2 or 3 BF games. Sure, there is a lot of stuff that could be improved on, but overall I think this game is a vast improvement. The buzz around the launch of this game has seemed to be pretty silent for whatever reason.
I feel like the internet has become even more toxic over the past few years making it hard for anything to be enjoyed because the middle ground is all but gone. People are so divided that the game is either the best thing ever (and doesn't sell), or everyone hates the game (that had either sold like hotcakes or is selling). Definitely feels like expectations, for everything, not just BFV or games in general, have been blown out of proportion due to the relative availability of the internet to everyone, everywhere. At least in 2002 with Battlefield 1942, people didn't have internet wherever and whenever they wanted. Generally videos were a whole to-do to upload. Also, you had to wait to post something on the internet, not where you could have a hot take and post it at a person's whim.
Are we expecting Dice to be so much different than what they have done in their past? Games have come out broken time and time again, and slowly massage them into a more polished game as time goes on from the release date. I also think Dice is forced to chase the ghost that is CoD, even while CoD is not the name it once was. They tried to put a single player in to match up with CoD years ago into BF games, that had middling success. They tried to make unlockable, that had middling success. Tried faster paced gameplay, I think has had success, but some people are not happy with that. I think Dice has improved, but also, I think there has been crazy pressure from EA to chase the CoD ghost. Look how EA completely laid itself out to try to usurp CoD with the Medal of Honor reboot last gen and completely missed the target.
