Battlefield General - Discuss the series here

[ZehnBoat]

now saying what i said, and what has been said
if a game outright said it's an alternate universe then i don't give a fuck about accuracy (although don't just go LOL DEN DA BLAKZ TOOK OVWER DA WORLD WIT BLACK POWER that's ultratism)
but on the other hand, forced diversity is a sign of shitty writing were every character is bland and garbage.

but whatever, it's achieved equality, black or white, male or female
all these character are all the same and bland as fuck.

That was part of Hitler's plan the whole time.

Well, I suppose recruits are getting tough to find these days...but are the realities of war making the Reichstag that desperate for infantry?

Your history books don't mention the proposed Waffen-SS death squad headed by Oberst Mahmoud "Melissa" Rodriguez?

Okay, that was a shitpost.

So some guy tries to do a hot take on people not liking BF V's cover.

All I can say is such autism. And really, this whole BF V shit is just autism, historical accuracy or not. Just give some history spergs the night witches at least.

Won't lie, the Battlefield 1 trailer was way better. V's trailer was a clusterfuck of nonsense, a bad first impression.

Lol whats the level authenticity? zero percent?

They seem to want to make this about women, as if no woman has even been in an FPS videogame before, and not the fact the Battlefield franchise wants a disabled female British sniper as their front and center for their World War 2 setting?

I mean it's fine if you want Captain America Hydra WW2, just make sure you advertise it and title it that way. Otherwise it's like FIFA 2018 featuring rocket powered wheelchair players and then wondering why you pissed off your base chasing the Rocket League.

lol i was waiting for this, like clockwork.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Accuracy in video games, huh, like how Indigo Prophecy was accurate to occult themes?

That's not what the fuck is wrong here.

It's the fact everything has to be a charity bell for some group of people who don't actually like/play games they bitch about 24/7. At the end of the day, I can bitch until the cows come home, and this game will sell like hotcakes no matter how many times a Sargon or whoever-else-type asks others to boycott.

Insults and antagonizing other people is an excellent way to win them over to your side.

All I wanted was a WWII Battlefield in the vein of Battlefield 4 & 1, all this nonsense they've shown is going to make following the game a fucking tedious affair. Because who doesn't love hack journalists "taking a stand" instead of just talking about a game on its own merits?

 

[Ruin]

Anyone remember when strong women could be in videogames without making them into over the top Tumblr stereotypes?

The Boss remembers.

Was going to say that's a shop, but found the article. Had to go to the author's twitter to find it. Strangely, you can't find it by searching for battlefield V news on the site.

Wonder why?

Kojima should have to approve of all games before production. Dude just oozes smart choices even when he's fucking around

 

[Red Hood]

To paraphrase George Thoroughgood:
"Everybody salty. Now you salty too."

Kojima should have to approve of all games before production. Dude just oozes smart choices even when he's fucking around

Kojima has put some of the most batshit insane content in games and made it work. He seems to know when to go 'in your face' and when to dial it back.

then mgs4 happened

 

[Cubanodun]

Dont know what is the big bitching about this, who cares about a woman in the cover, the game is probably going to be the same thing of every year with a new coat of paint, if EA were smart they could made a Cyberpunk shooter with that idea, hell you can remove the planes and tanks of the cover, put futuristic buildings with neon lights and you could easily pass it as a blade runner game

actually that sounds like a better idea that another battlefield and EA has the rights of blade runner so..

 

[Hideous K]

then mgs4 happened

Speaking of mgs4, did you know that the original ending was to kill off otacon and snake by execution?
