beta was awful. i passed on advanced warfare, as cod went way downhill for me following black ops 1, (though i liked the ghosts campaign), and battlefield 4 was pretty fun but also didn't have many fun maps and was so dlc heavy that i couldn't stay ahead of the curve. i just found myself on operation locker spamming nades at C and leveling things up. not that memorable for me. hardline is going in the cod direction and i'm not a fan. will pass.
eh, I think they are going too COD-esque on this one. looks like smaller maps and shit, which can be fun, but I enjoy getting into epic tank battles with dudes across the map, blowing shit sky high with the gunships, dogfighting in jets, sniper battles, running and gunning through war-torn maps as shit blows up and destructs around you, all the shit that made all the previous battlefields fun. BF3 was waaay better than 4, IMO. those DLC maps were a work of art. massive and made for some really fun online gameplay if you had the time/patience.
ANUSTARTidk i feel like i personally get really bored with fps games after a little bit. Plus video games are real expensive these days
I mean 15 years ago n64 games were $50. Games now are $60. thats barely more and inflation adjusted that's actually less. Plus you get online play.
As far as thread might get into battle field. Been over COD after MW3 liked that game a lot even though it was just a rehash but that series went to shit with black ops 2 and advanced warfare is fucking retarded imo.
HAd battlefield 3 but didn't play it that often, didn't really learn it. I always here good things though.
Had a very quick go on the PC version and it's pretty good fun - but again I'm not sure if this should be a full price game as I can't shake the "BF4 DLC" feeling with it.

a lot of PS4 games are being released at $70 price point now a days.
BF3 was ok it was way better than BF4. BF4 was complete garbage. I don't think I can really find it in myself to hand over my hard earned money on more garbage. I mean maybe EA and Dice have fixed themselves, however I'm going to wait on BF Hardline because The campaign to BF4 is still unplayable for me. I'll play some of the campaign and then save it go back to play my save file and it's just gone and have to start over again. There is only so many times you can start a game's campaign before deciding on never playing it again.
I'm probably just going to get GTA V for PS4(even though I already have it for PS3) so I can play heists on that instead.

Which games cost 70$?
Because I own Destiny, MLB the Show, NHL 15, Madden 15, Diablo 3, Call of Duty Ghosts and AW, and Watchdogs...all of them cost 59.99.
As far as being on topic with the thread, I passed on battlefield hardline...it looks like call of duty and as you can tell I already own CoD and do not need another one.
As far as the debate in this thread about when battlefield and call of duty got old. Battlefield 3 was the last good one but the best battle field was BF2 on the PC. Call of Duty got old after MW2...the best one was Call of Duty 4, the guns rocked and gold guns were hard as fuck to get and you only had 3 kill streaks UAV, Air Strike, Helicopter (3 kills, 5 kills, 7 kills) it was super balanced and the maps rocked.....Unfortunately after that I blame the "12 year old" demographic for the way FPS's have become, it all has to be action in your face all the time instantly...if its not instant it sucks according to that demographic.
i mean, realistically $60 isn't THAT much money when you look at the time spent playing a game and the fact that you can turn around and sell it when you're done. I guarantee you that you'd spend 2-3x as much money spending equal time in a bar.
how far are you in the campaign? what do you think about it so far?
imo, it doesn't feel like a battlefield game at all. it feels like Metal Gear Solid, or Splinter Cell/Ghost Recon. That's not to say that it's bad...just not quite what I was expecting.
Barefootin_Fiendimo, it doesn't feel like a battlefield game at all.
Multilayer seems pretty much like the other battlefields to me..I spawn, run a short distance, and get shot in the head by someone I'm entirely unaware of

weird, i thought I was the only one that happened to.....
this is why i don't play a lot of MP....because i constantly get merked by 12 yr olds before I ever have a chance to learn the maps.

dont forget all of the dlc and microtransactions. most people don't just buy a $70 base game. they buy the expansion packs and unlock kits and bonus maps and all that. probably looking at double. and for what, like 6 months of entertainment. before you buy more
i still play ocarina of time on n64. one time buy, 15 years later still having fun with it. no need for paying online fees, expansions, etc.
games today are really tailored to get as much money out of us as possible for as little design effort as possible. maps are all the same design, hardly anything changes fundamentally, they just give it a new little campaign with some different boss dude to hunt and kill. that's about it. it's not like years and years of development are going into a brand new next gen unique experience that we're paying $70 for.

This. Every new game comes out, then a week later there's $20 worth of DLC when in reality they should have included those maps or whatever with the initial game. It's stupid. The maps were probably designed with the rest of them and purposely withheld. I wouldn't be surprised if they design dlc content and withhold it for a year or more.

Maybe it's just me, but I own probably 25ish different games for my PS3 and I've never bought a single DLC....it's not like you HAVE to buy the stuff...

Well fucking duh it was made at the same time and held intentionally, its because they make more money...its easy. They keep doing it cause guess what people pay for it and they make bank off it.
and to the guy below you who said hes never bought any DLC...I too have owned a 360 and now a ps4...and have yet to purchase any DLC for a game. So i've paid 60 bucks for all my games. They don't make you buy it.

I wasn't forgetting it but it isn't necessary for enjoying the game. The game is complete, people just want more content and with everything being online it's extremely easy for them to sell it.
As far as buying it, I spent $60 on MW3 and another $60 on elite. Played online in a clan, plus having an extra 12? Doubled what you had to play. Plus some other stuff. I played the shit out of that game. Played with the same people all the time and we crushed shit. Loved it. Completely worth the money. IF I don't like a game I don't buy the dlc of games I don't like, that'd be stupid.
Idk, if you don't like the game, don't buy the extra shit, sell the game to a friend.
Not gonna lie, at first I hated the game. The campaign was kinda fun but it felt too slow at first. Didn't get very far in it, wanted to check out the multiplier. Didn't like it at first but after playing it for awhile and not just charging into crowds it got fun.
Barefootin_FiendMaybe it's just me, but I own probably 25ish different games for my PS3 and I've never bought a single DLC....it's not like you HAVE to buy the stuff...
I do the same. I don't own as many games as you, but I never buy anything further than the original game.
I know they get ripped apart for everything, but I gotta give rockstar and GTAV credit for the downloadable content. It might not always be completely perfect or timely, but the fact that I still get new content every few months for a game I paid a one time fee for a year and a half ago is awesome. Might not be much, but a few new vehicles and weapons is enough to keep me entertained a little while longer
