Yeah, BF1 had a horrible menu experience outside the gameplay and no one talks about that anymore. I’ve been playing BF4 agina lately and it’s sooooo much better when browing menus etc...

Cool, I’m a graphic designer, and when someone tells me one piece of design is a rip off of another, I know enough about my subject matter that I can both see how similar they are and yet I appreciate the wider context of my subject matter to know how common, popular, and functional the elements are, and why and how…

My kids often mistake one song for another, especially at the start. So do I sometimes. We’re humans, we recognise patterns, especially ones that effect us - which is why and how we make and enjoy music (and other art forms) in the first place.

I think they are alike but they’re not copies. They just - like with Blurred Lines - share several popular and complimentary musical elements.

That’s my takeaway. Where I’m from a hoodie is basic attire for a number of different social strata in the colder months - and what constitutes a hoodie anyway? There are so many items of different aesthetic qualities that could qualify as a hoodie, from classy to trashy. It would be easier to make the rule about pants…

Oh Ronaldo has made me respect him more and more these past weeks. I’m usually a Messi fan - not because I hate Ronaldo, but because I prefer how Messi plays. But Ronaldo looks like the one more interested in football these past months.

Beckham had everything except the cool personality.....so close. But I guess he still made everything else work for him. Seems to me he understands this and isn’t a very “talky” celebrity.

I want to know more too! I dont’ even have to see it, just want to know what it’s like.

Oh god, that car better be derivable whenever I want it to be.....beautiful.

My first thought was “grittier GTA set in the future”......now I dont’ know if that’s what this game is, but by heck that gives me wood.

Well most of that trailer was using daytime shots - hopefully night time will be even more impressive? A few nighttime shots looked good.

Just replying to let you know there are other fans. Didn’t read much about him and but loved just experiencing the world with him in his numerous tv shows. There a people luckier than you to be living an adveturous life, and they are doing so exactly like you would want to if you could - and they make really good…

I can’t even remember what they were like in that tournament, but what no one seems to talk about - which I think is a huge asterix under Ronaldo and Portugal’s win - is how it was the first tournament for generations that changed the traditional format.

Not just you. CGI and art direction looks very average.

Came looking for the “why not both?” comments and the like - you didn’t disappoint. Thanks :D

Well that’s a pity, becasue I’m sure DICE and EA will really suffer because of your tantrum. And we’ll all really miss you online. We’ll be like, “You know what this game needs? Less female avatars and more Jaredy!”, and we’ll all storm off to our rooms and pout too.

The debate that this article started was whether people have the right to make women gamers feel like their sex’s inclusion wrecks the expectations and entitlement of a bunch of males who want to frame the debate toward their own misplaced expectations of what they’d hoped the game would be.

Yes, acclaimed was the wrong word, but many people i know and know of, including long time YouTube gamers I follow look back fondly on 2142 as a milestone of the BF formula. To me it shows the core DNA of BF games is independent of historical authenticity.
