LOL, the pandering in that trailer was a real sight to see. And I'm someone who usually chooses female characters in games. 

Yes but they’re fascists who are beginning to realise that being a fascist is bad. Given the development they’ve been getting in recent years the game could build on that which would make for a really interesting story.

Yeah, the stinger alluded to it. Which makes this timing exactly what it said it would be.

Don’t forget most of the event pass just consists of XP boosts or XP grants for the other season pass, and the vast majority of event content including basic red and blue color schemes are gated behind a separate  paywall.

PVP with actual objectives other than “kill a bunch of people without dying too often” has always been more fun for me. I love capture the flag and oddball.

The Battle Pass is fine, the Challenges are not, the Event Challenges are also not.

It’s all going to come down to what the business model is for me.

The bugs don’t bother me—they can be fixed. What bothers me is that at its core, it’s painfully obvious they developed a game that attempted to crib streamer-approved features from the Battle Royale genre rather than making a great Battlefield game.

That’s actually how real-world collision works in the year 2042.

Let’s wait and see what happens before we immediately assume the worst.

Yep, I’ve never asked for a refund either and I’m asking for one here. I’ve been through the rough launches of BF3 and BF4, but those games had promise and what was there was fun. BF2042 lacks that promise and is wholly broken.

The original versions should have never been delisted to begin with. They can spin it all they want via a press release apology, but at the end of the day, you expect more from a company that claims the series is special to both them and us. I hate being a cynic when it comes to this industry sometimes, but this was…

These types of statements are always the best because they’re the people in charge of releasing the things:

Love the dismissal of someone with actual experience, lmao journalists sure can be douchebags

I say go with whatever you like best. But since I bought the PS5 (two months ago) I have gotten like 12 free games (God of War, The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Fallout 4, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Persona 5, PGA Tour 2k21, Mortal Kombat X, Monster Hunter World, Days…

Kotaku hurt itself in its confusion!

A few points.

The links you’re citing don’t even support what you’re saying.

Few counterpoints:

Interesting piece. So is the one linked below, which is one of several as I recall where Kotaku openly chastised ‘gamers’ for crying “But muh accuracy!” at Battlefield V including women soldiers during WWII, going so far as to imply they were sexist for calling out what they felt was clear corporate pandering. Times…

Just spread some Bible pages on top of them. Problem solved.
