AAA companies are focused on this sort of gimmick instead of making their game fun and playable.

Better to focus on a gameplay gimmick than make the same game again.

Well the finals has taken this gimmick and made it fun.

The Finals is a product that understands its demographic, EA has absolutely no clue what their demo is for BF and that’s why we got a BR movement shooter with 2042.

These corpo dummies just look at what’s popular and tell their devs to copy it to maximize profit. They do not give a fuck about making a good product, they care about minmaxing spending.

I think they did really well with Battlefield 2042. It destroyed my interest in the Battlefield franchise. Loved Battlefield 4, 5 and the second 1, though.

The developers publishers, when asked if it would be fun, had no response

Don’t blame the devs.

It’s the execs and PMs who have other priorities.

Publishers* I imagine the devs are screaming internally

You ever notice how 4-5 years after release dice games become really solid? It’s because ea stops giving a shit and dice can finally fix them.

I’m right there with you BC2 was the highpoint for me and absolutely nothing has scratched that itch since.

Seconded. Not as deep as BF 2, but that was exactly why bad company 2 pulled me in

Most realistic destruction isn’t going to stop EA and DICE from monetizing the game to hell and back. Stick to indie games.
