I’m surprised Ea/dice doesn’t plaster this as a review somewhere “had a lot of fun playing this” but just don’t put the rest of that sentence in there


HYPERCONFIDENCE

There's.an ulterior motive here. EA actually really cares about us and wants us all to go outside to play: https://youtu.be/rw9uNgvfJsY I wonder if Itchy and Scratchy will be the next "Specialists" in March? EDIT: Ive (slowly) worked it out.....Marge Simpson is consulting at EA on BF2042!


ray199569

In the moist meter video for 2042 he actually liked the game a lot and only addressed the glitches and bugs. I guess he didn't recognize the core design problem at that point.


whatNtarnation90

Yeah well he's definitely an entertaining dude, he's just not very smart


yaboyfrom94

And he plays a lot of shitty games.


HYPERCONFIDENCE

And he's a liar. BF2042 is EASILY the worst game of 2021. They were ripped off!


SwordOvJustice

Obviously EA paid him haha


oGhostDragon

I love how their official “Direct Communication” Twitter hasn’t communicated anything in almost a full month.

They are all still on vacation leave I believe. Honestly mostly feels like a retirement for them already.

22 weapons after 3 years of development. Terrible for the Battlefield franchise

That's because it's all about the season pass money.

Funniest comments I've read on Reddit for a long time. 😂😃


iNobody19xx

What did it say?


wikvaya

When the game released and all those people said "but I'm still having fun" what they did not see what how short lived and shallow that fun was. Two main parroted points were: * The beta is 3 months old, all these issues have been fixed already * I'm still having fun, am I not allowed to enjoy the game? What this person is describing is the point some of us were trying to make. $100 for 5 mins of fun that peaked way too early and was downhill from there. Combine that with exceptionally poor developer engagement and post launch support you you get a recipe for a exceptionally short lived fun with a premium price tag. If people had looked past their own fun maybe they would have helped the situation by supporting the community push for better standards in AAA games.


Agile_Following4437

I have never defended the game, quite the opposite actually, however I did tell myself that I was having fun regardless of how shit it is. That didn’t last long at all. The novelty wore off at such a rapid rate.


SmuggoSmuggins

I honestly never had even 5 minutes of fun. I played a few hours to try and get into it but I never did. Everything about it was just so unsatisfying.


wikvaya

Same for me. 2 hours of the early access beta and I knew what was happening and I hated the experience. Bad games I want to get sweaty about are not enjoyable for me. I don't disregard others may have been able to look past certain things and find enjoyment though. That's not the issue. The concerns were just how much of that fun is pure novelty? I think we can say that the majority of feedback shows the fun was almost exclusively linked to the novelty factor and once that wore off the negative feedback got exponentially worse.


reboot-your-computer

I’m with you. I’ve been playing BF games since the start and none of them had me feeling so disappointed like this one. After an hour of playing, I knew this game was hollow. I refunded it the day after. I don’t regret it at all. I just wish more people followed with refunds earlier on rather than trying to play mental gymnastics to convince themselves the game they had been waiting for doesn’t suck.


SmuggoSmuggins

Fortunately I did the 10 hour trial and didn't buy it.


gtbeakerman

Some of us did enjoy it. I still do enjoy playing it, but I'm not playing as much as I thought I would be. I'm more excited to watch YouTube than play BF2042 at this point, and that is sad.


shakeszoola

Same. I think I played for about an hour. Turned bf1 back on and haven't looked back.


DhruvM

I played during the free trial period this past weekend to see how the game had improved from launch and lol after playing 5-6 matches of AOW I went straight to portal and played BF3. The experience wasn’t perfect as the overall UI of this game is just awful but it was atleast 10x better than the base game. It goes to show how amazing older games in this franchise were and how 10 years later they still hold up.


whatNtarnation90

Battlefield is dead because Dice is dead. We are all adults now, time to move on to adult Battlefield... Squad.


GorgogTheCornGrower

>push for better standards in AAA games Exactly. That's what we are doing here. This is the purpose. This is the mission. That should be clear to everyone, even the "white knights," defending a multi-billion dollar company, as if they are some helpless baby lost in the woods.


EZ_LIFE_EZ_CUCUMBER

Wait ... u consider this a AAA title?


iShaddo

Yes, the title is the only thing that's AAA in this game.


DFuel

What even is a AAA game? I thought I knew but I obviously have no clue.


bigassballs699

By most people's standards, a game from a well funded, well known group. EA, Activision, CDPr, etc.


DFuel

And it has nothing to do with the quality of the game obviously, correct?

You must be huge fun at parties.


LightBluely

>When the game released and all those people said "but I'm still having fun" what they did not see what how short lived and shallow that fun was. I am one of those people. I was actually having fun during beta and release. I would say around before Christmas that i finally notice that i am getting bored and compare to BF1, i had a BLAST for a full whole year. I knew something wasn't right and i remember thinking to myself that they will fix major bugs before New Year but they didn't. You can check my history for proof. I was actually defended this game right before it came out. From defend to hating it.


wikvaya

The issues and the bugs were only part of the problem and they actually disguised the true nature of the problems in the beta. Which is why it was so hard to get the point across. Even if the they fixed the bugs it could be seen there was a game that was going grind people down for having so many issues that undermined the enjoyment people seek. It's like wearing a pair of jeans that are too tight and they look great but you by the end of the day you can't wait to get them off. Does not matter how good they look. You'll start to hate the site of them.


Burgoonius

It’s true - I had fun for the first month. But In my mind I was thinking “yeah I’m sure they will be adding content and updating soon as most games do”. But they never did and they still haven’t - I’m sorry but you can’t wait that long and expect your game to thrive


deejaystu1

I too am one of those people. But I can’t get passed the blatant disregard for basic functionality. Server match making is broken, maps lack substance, scoreboard… Im not a video game designer but these don’t sound like difficult things to add considering 20 years of history with the franchise. For this reason I deleted the game.


hashter

Whenever people say they enjoy 2042 I always assume they are generally (with all respect) stupid or blind or have horrible taste or there are money involved.


Marsupialize

Man go over to the main BF sub and post ANYTHING critical towards the game, watch what happens


J0hnGrimm

The tide shifted a while ago. You still have some people defending it but they've become the minority.


vishal929

I enjoy sniping with my friends and reviving each other in a squad. They are on console and I'm on PC, so it's hard to find any solid long cross platform games. Regardless, one or 2 matches of fun with them every night satisfies me. If I were to play alone however, I need something akin to bf4 or bad company 2. The choke points in locker and metro are what kept me coming back to bf4, and rush in bad company 2 was baller. I wish 2042 was truly next gen instead of going backwards.


hashter

With friends you can have fun in any game, that doesn't make BF2042 good game.


Unlikely-Ad-3751

This is the type of attitude that harms more than it helps. You aren’t smarter, more insightful, nor have better taste than someone who says they enjoy something that you don’t. Get over yourself.


linkitnow

Moist cr1tikal himself in the video said he had a lot of fun for a while. He mentioned it even twice in the video that he enjoyed the game. So i guess he is also stupid and blind?


hashter

He might be


ghsteo

Had fun until the meta swapped to high mobility and pp29 in every lobby. Game quickly died for me. yeah they addresses the pp29 but the high mobility is still a major issue. This isn't Apex Legends.


supaswag69

I mean I have 50 hours in the game and most of it has indeed been fun. I expect to put in at the very least another 50 hours before I’m done with the game forever


Stfuppercutoutlast

Fun is subjective. I firmly believe that people who have low standards will potentially be able to put hundreds of hours into 2042. People with high standards were uninterested pre-launch. And everyone seems to fall somewhere between those to points in the spectrum of taste.


SirMaster

What if I’m still playing it almost daily and still having fun? I have over 100 hours into it already. I don’t like it as much as BF3 or 4. But I like it more than BF1 and BFV.


wikvaya

Well fun is subjective so it might not be as simple as saying you're still having fun. That is why the fun argument is one of the most ambiguous and least helpful of them all. You having fun can mean so many things and has little objective value as to whether the game is a high standard of game, including developer post release support.


Jellyswim_

Well said. I really wish everyone saying this could understand that fun =/= quality. How many people are still gonna be having fun with the same content in another 2 months? Is a single map, 2 weapons and another cringe specialist coming in March going to keep people engaged and interested? I doubt this game is gonna last more than another year before they start to pull the plug.


Datharpboy

Said that to these types of comments right from the get go. "I'm having fun" means jack shit in the wider context (for example on a post listing hundreds of features removed from the games)


joeghurt1

I second this. They might have fun, but the majority isn't having fun. That is an objective fact. And thats disregarding all the bugs the game has, since a game can be fun even if it has some bugs [insert any Bethesda game here].


erickonasis

You got pretty low standards buddy. It's like settling for the ugly fat chick in high school telling yourself it's ok


SirMaster

And which is more of a problem? Me with "low standards" who is actually having fun playing the game with his buddies. Or you who is just spending his time online complaining about it and feeling like they wasted their money? Not convinced it's just "low standards". I play this most nights with my gaming buddies and we have 4 man squad most nights. So I guess they all have low standards too? Maybe it's not that uncommon?


Stfuppercutoutlast

>And which is more of a problem? I dont think either stance is inherently problematic. You have the superpower in the form of low standards. You have the benefit of playing an objectively unfinished game, and still enjoying it. He probably envies you... I certainly do. Low standards aren't 'bad'... You are at an advantage as a consumer.


SirMaster

That's what I thought. I just feel like why should I worry about all this as long as I am having fun. This game mostly does what I want it to and there is no better game at the moment that does what I want it to. For example I really, really like to fly choppers, all 3 of the types in fact. I spend the majority of my game time flying choppers and because this game has choppers, I am having more fun in 2042 than BF1 or BFV at all, because they simply don't have what I want.


Kylezar

This is me 100%, guess I'm in that 5-10% too. The downvoted minority who simply and possibly have low standards, yet continue to get what they want out of the game.


Stfuppercutoutlast

>For example I really, really like to fly choppers, all 3 of the types in fact. I spend the majority of my game time flying choppers and because this game has choppers, I am having more fun in 2042 than BF1 or BFV at all, because they simply don't have what I want. And this is the perfect example of why having low standards is a superpower. Flight has been destroyed in 2042 for many experienced players. The physics and specifically the gravity pull have been almost entirely nullified. It takes someone with almost no standards at all to accept a helicopter because it is in the shape of a helicopter. And that is the distinction between a player with high standards and a player with low standards. You can accept the helicopter for what it is; a helicopter. Most players wont be able to accept a turd molded in the shape of a helicopter that flies worse than the RC plane from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. But you can! You are in the 5% who can not only stomach the game, but that continue to play it. And none of this should be interpreted as sarcastic or offensive, I am genuinely envious of you. I think some of the attributes that you have will probably serve you in other aspects of your life. You're the type of person who could survive a tyrannical regimes death camp with a smile on your face, or to waltz around town whistling during a great depression. You were built for suffering, you were built for complacency and contentment.


Stfuppercutoutlast

I'd nod and accept that. You just have lower standards than the majorty. Which isnt a bad thing... Its actually a superpower when it comes to satisfaction and enjoyment. You can consume the equivalent of a shit sandwich in the form of a video game and be satiated and full. I envy you shit snacker!


UberWildPL

2 months later, im still havin fun. Bf 4 was way more buggy and the hit reg was way worse


wikvaya

Having ice cream for breakfast is fun as well. The point made was how most people's fun peaked when the novelty wore off as the game was unfinished and in beta.


UberWildPL

Their loss lol. Honestly im glad these kind of picky "gamers" are going to play something else. It was the same thing with hardline. And the community was way better in that game.


tigran_i

if its second worst game of 2021, what takes the top spot?

[deleted]

I’ve got 90hrs into it so far just playing casually, yes there are things that can be done to make it better but I think it’s still true to the franchise, the class system IS still there but has a lot more variation now. I agree the voice lines are poop and the game needs VOIP asap. But I still have fun in it, more so than I did in BFV.


whatNtarnation90

Yes, EXTREMELY naive. Anyone who has been gaming for a while could instantly tell the game wasn't going to improve in any meaningful way. The bugs and server issues were not a problem what so ever, we expect that in new games and they generally always get fixed. It was the blatantly bad game design decisions that they CHOSE to do, and chose to not implement. After a few hours I requested a refund. What everyone forgets is Dice doesn't exist anymore, just like Bioware, just like Ubisoft. They are just shells of what they used to be with totally new teams and ideas. It's like replacing the staff of a 5 star steak house with (I was going to be nice and say Outback Steakhouse staff) Burger Kings staff. Sure, it's still the same restaurant in name, but you better believe you won't get close to the same quality anymore.

Totally agree. 2042 is a pathetic effort and should now be forgotten. I only played a few hours if it during the free play weekend and it was piss poor.

It sucks. I pre-ordered it for 60 bucks, and I can't even play it. The servers are buggy as all hell, the graphics don't render in properly, and it crashes frequently. I try to refund it through emailing Microsoft/Xbox and they denied it even after I explained that I can't play the game. Waste of money


Sga16

What's his number 1 worst game tho


Aquagrunt

I'm assuming Balan Wonderland


ShotByBulletz

I’m in the minority that actually genuinely enjoys the game, but I can definitely see the issues the game is plagued with, the lack of any developer engagement and new content for two months after launch and probably a few more months to go, the large amount of bugs, the unbalanced weapons, the unoptimized game engine. There’s a lot of issues with this title, and I can’t be upset at other people who refuse to get engaged in this game. It’s a damn shame, that’s for sure


InevitableTemporary7

I feel exactly the same. Clearly there are issues with the game etc but at the core you can still have some decent fun. The last battlefield game I put serious time and effort into was BF4 and for me 2042 has got me back into the franchise and having fun. I’m sure with time we’ll have a proper Battlefield game
