It was on Game pass before, and I kinda did skip it because I felt like I had played multiple “processing grief” video games, and didn’t like the idea of doing it in a formless world of colors rather than around some kind of deliberate, recognizable world theme. There’s such a thing as being too artsy and abstract.
I dumped a ton of hours into Battlefield 3, and the Bad Company games. Now in terms of BF, I mostly play Battlefield 1943. I tried 2042 but immediately hated it. They gutted the game of everything that made the series so good.
Totally going to snatch this one, thanks!
I used to play Urban Terror a ton back in the day. Not a massive game like BF and BattleBit but it’s a super fun shooter (and it’s free!).
As much as i can enjoy battlebit, you arent giving battlefield enough credit
The populations of the games at the current moment arent even that far off, Battlebit is at 8k, 2042 is at 5k+whatever the number plays on origin.
Battlefield has a LONG history of always releasing in a shit start and getting better overtime. This trend has happened for the past several games (since after 3 I believe)
No, I’m giving battlefield all the credit it’s current incarnation deserves:
It is not as good as a game made by 3 guys on Unreal. I tried it again last week out of curiosity and it’s flat out not worth getting when BattleBit exists, in my opinion
And a long history of releasing trash and getting to decent only proves the point, BattleBit actually started as an enjoyable and decently content filled product whereas battlefield you KNOW won’t next time it comes around
The point is it’s playerbases are in a similar tier in size. Of course its your opinion that battlebit is better (and is mine too), but that doesnt stop the idea that there are plenty of people playing 2042 now (especially vs launch). I have a friend who has both games, but when hes playing alone, he more often boots up battlefield more often then battlebit, and he spends a LOT of time playing those games more tham the rest of his library.
Maybe when StarCraft 2 came out or the first couple years of Overwatch. Although in hindsight they were doing some pretty un-legendary things behind the scenes.
Once again I’ve paid the game pass tax. I just bought dead space last week lol
I kinda wish they would announce upcoming games sooner or something. It makes it hard to determine if you should buy something or hold off indefinitely
Unlucky :( I’ve had it on my wishlist but it was too much for me. Glad I’m going to get to play it. I never finished 3 so a full series playthrough might be in order. If you haven’t logged many hours on it you might be able to swing a refund? Though a week is a long time.
I’m really looking forward to Sea of Stars. I’m not even big on turn-based RPGs, save for a few exceptions, but it’s really speaking to me. Not sure if it scratches a nostalgia itch or if it’s the gorgeous art, but I’m into it.
That’s quite interesting, leaving aside all the monopoly arguments, I think this has potential to being very beneficial to all blizzard games, and so to us.
It looks like Kotick will be leaving after the transition so that’s a great start. My dream is that this all somehow leads to the full Overwatch PvE campaign coming back onto the table again (given that their attempts to provide long-term replay ability without doing the work seem to be floundering now, there’s a chance right?)
It’ll definitely be interesting to see how MS treats Blizz’s ongoing IPs. There’s definitely opportunity to improve things there with Diablo 4 not keeping people’s attention and OW2… being OW2.
Despite the fact that I complained on release that Solar Ash isn’t nearly as good as Hyper Light Drifter, I think it’s a really underrated game. The atmosphere and visuals are incredible, and the platforming is really fun. Hopefully now it’ll get some recognition.
Excited to play Lies of P when it comes out. I’ve been wanting an actually good soulslike for a while.
I know this is a weird observation, but the covers on those games are all red and I can’t help but wonder if there was an unofficial industry-wide standard of color psychology when these were released
I think it’s just a matter of trends and design theory. For a long time you couldn’t escape the orange/blue combo like in the Battlefield series artwork. Plus I don’t think all these titles really released at the “same” time.
