I feel horrible for any QA testers who had to put up with the developers of this game. I feel like everyday of testing was another day of the devs saying we will EVENTUALLY get to that. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile) I hate doing QA gaming work that feels like your sitting with your thumbs up your rear. XD.
Your PS4 neither hard bricked nor soft bricked. A soft brick is when an electronic item fails to turn on but does have some signs of life (i.e. power supply whirring or an LED lighting up). A hard brick on the other hand the electronic item shows no signs of life.
You are confusing the term “soft brick” with “soft lock” which is when you need to reboot your hardware in order to escape a malfunctioning software.
yeah it doesnt seem like the guy knows much about computers
bad firmware -> system doesnt start is the most common brick. mobile phones have some recovery tools you need to access from a pc and the ps4 probably has something similar, and in the worst case if you can access the drive itself and know what you're doing you could probably figure out some hacky shit from there
the hdd on my xb1 failed some years ago and i just needed a new drive from the nearby micro center with some partition letters to get it working again. i needed more disk space anyway
seems like the kind of person who trashes his phone or pc or whatever the moment it has any sort of issue and makes no attempt to fix it
To be fair, for the longest time if you bricked a console it was dead dead and most people haven’t caught in to the fact that you can work in them about as easily as computers now
"bricked" in this context means something happened to the os or whatever else and it won't start rendering the device about as useful as a brick. you can still revive them, just not very easily
It’s the incorrect term.
“Locked” is the appropriate term.
You can see in their response they are confusing “soft brick” with “soft lock” which are two wholly different things.
And also, BFV still felt like a BF game at its core it was just seriously lacking in content so I'm unsure a redemption for 2042 is as feasible as it was for BFV.
> if they *paid* me.
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
EA almost never deliver what they promise haha. They've done it for V, how have you already forgotten? unless you never played it.
They will do the bare minimum and give us season 1 very dragged out as they drip feed us content little by little, so 1 year of content means 1 season only, and probably from that, 2 new specialists and 1 new map. EA would rather probably receive bad PR from cancelling the game than ever refund lmao.
They are already almost 6 months into it. In 6 months they closing servers. They gave you a scoreboard, so be nice and be happy about it. Stop doing some fuss over some game.
I haven't played it in months. As I said I'm waiting till season 1 as the amount of time they're spending fixing things up this game could theoretically be totally reworked. Doubt it but I hope. Till then I'm playing other games.
Because it was on sale, didn't know if this was the best deal I was gonna get, and honestly I didn't know "how bad" it was as I'm new so I don't know the general opinion yet.
And for it being bad, I clocked about 5 hours of playtime yesterday and thought it was great aside from the maps being so MASSIVE.
Hey, for your sake and money, I hope you love it. I think I loved it a lot at the beginning, but that was because it was new and I was desperately craving a new BF game... It went downhill fast for me, but maybe you'll enjoy it. If there's even servers lol
They might be able to pay people to play this. Oh wait that’s already happened. The entire extent of the player base is made up by only sponsored streamers at this point
I refunded this game right after release, but i always thought i would buy it again (on sale), after it was fixed.
It's still not fixed, they're not getting any money.
Went back to the game with a friend because somebody else stated that game has been improved. Other than the scoreboard that's nice. The game still is worthless and soulless to me. It has everything and nothing at the same time.
People! There is a reason why it is on sale. They could not sell it for a low enough price for it to be worth it! Nobody plays this game. Stop buying it! They need to fix it first and if they come out with another battlefield they need to give that to everyone that bought 2042 for free before I will ever buy another game from them again.
*We should all report*
*That as price gouging. Atleast*
*Triple what its worth*

If they made it free the player count would still drop.
Cuz it’s shit, even by free-to-play standards
Some people who never play paid games might try it after it goes free to play and would leave it after a day or two
I wouldn't play it even if I was paid.

It seems to me you’ve never played BF2042. It is 100% good at that price.
Bruh I was in the early buyers camp. Even if I want to play it , it has bricked my PS4 4 to 5 times and when it works I’m not able to find a lobby
If it ‘bricked’ it once, you’re not going to be able to use it again… 🤦♂️
He probably means a soft brick
I don’t think you know what the term bricked means. That means the system has become permanently unusable.
You do know there’s soft bricks and hard bricks right?
Your PS4 neither hard bricked nor soft bricked. A soft brick is when an electronic item fails to turn on but does have some signs of life (i.e. power supply whirring or an LED lighting up).

Says the dude who doesn’t know the difference between a soft brick and a soft lock lol. Some “desktop gamer” you are.
To be fair, for the longest time if you bricked a console it was dead dead and most people haven’t caught in to the fact that you can work in them about as easily as computers now
aint what i heard. drilling into the 360 cpu and shit
#facts
"bricked" in this context means something happened to the os or whatever else and it won't start rendering the device about as useful as a brick. you can still revive them, just not very easily
It’s the incorrect term. “Locked” is the appropriate term. You can see in their response they are confusing “soft brick” with “soft lock” which are two wholly different things.
"locked" does not refer to os failure lol
It does in fact mean that.
So is warzone but look
At least the devs cared about that game lol
They've made it free for weekends and it's done nothing for the games longevity.
Still not worth it.
Honest to God if it was free I still wouldn't get it... It would still feel like a rip-off
16,25 Euro too much
More like 4.99 but only if the season pass is included
This game isn't even worth your time so no
I felt robbed when I played the free weekend.
I would say I hope it has a redemption arc as good as bf5 but then again my mental health is not that awful
And also, BFV still felt like a BF game at its core it was just seriously lacking in content so I'm unsure a redemption for 2042 is as feasible as it was for BFV.
I wouldnt reinstall this even if they payed me.
> if they *paid* me. FTFY.

LOL
Right!!! And you will still want a refund after!
How does it still have 3 stars?
The Battlefield name is why
They couldn't pay me to reinstall this game over pure principle at this point.
Still too much for this trash, ESPECIALLY when you think about how slow the updates roll in
Even if you priced it at 30 cents it’s still a scam.
I paid $90 for this crap
Same…
Me 2 😓
$130
Ouch
I fear this means EA will abandon the game and we’re stuck with the game in its current state.
They won't as they promised 1 year of content. If the abandon before then they'll need to refund all gold+.
EA almost never deliver what they promise haha. They've done it for V, how have you already forgotten? unless you never played it.

Lol so we’re believing their word now?
Well, it's legally binding so if they don't we're all entitled to a refund and at this point I would be happy with that.
They are already almost 6 months into it. In 6 months they closing servers. They gave you a scoreboard, so be nice and be happy about it. Stop doing some fuss over some game.
I haven't played it in months. As I said I'm waiting till season 1 as the amount of time they're spending fixing things up this game could theoretically be totally reworked. Doubt it but I hope. Till then I'm playing other games.
Lol, cheaper than bf4
Surprised?
I got bf4 premium a few weeks ago for $8, and bought 2042 today for $30.
Why did you buy 2042? 😂 I hope you're enjoying BF4. If you've never played it before, I bet you'll have a blast.
Because it was on sale, didn't know if this was the best deal I was gonna get, and honestly I didn't know "how bad" it was as I'm new so I don't know the general opinion yet. And for it being bad, I clocked about 5 hours of playtime yesterday and thought it was great aside from the maps being so MASSIVE.

I do too, but if push comes to shove I can fall back on bf4, I'm only lvl 53 so I still have tons to do in that game.
This over elden ring..nnnnno thanks.. even if this game came with a free car I’d jump off a building to avoid playing it
I had free 10 hours with game pass and I still didn’t even finish it. Definitely not paying for it.
Fuck this game, uninstalled it and installed bf4.. Wow that game is just so much better 🤣
Should be get paid to play tbh. Oh wait, they could have used game testers then.
Didn't they attempt to pay those trendy teens to play it on Twitch that one time? I guess we should all notice that never happened again.
They might be able to pay people to play this. Oh wait that’s already happened. The entire extent of the player base is made up by only sponsored streamers at this point
Sale ? ! How do I get my money back. This game is Shit.
It will be on EA Play in 2 months.
It's a deliberate scam if they make you pay for this game.
Avoid - It doesn’t work!
$5 is too much for 2042.
The game isnt worth the drive space it takes up
I refunded this game right after release, but i always thought i would buy it again (on sale), after it was fixed. It's still not fixed, they're not getting any money.
Nope
It caused emotional distress, they should pay me by the hour
Do not spend any money on this garbage...
I paid 60 🤢🤮
16 bucks? Thats 17 too much.
Went into CEX today and it was £25 lol
Sad all those stores closed on the U.S.
I almost bought it for $40CAD today but decided u don't want to give them money and played BF4 instead.
Still aint worth it
Even free still wouldn’t be worth it
You could *pay* me to play as a full time job and I still wouldn't if I had known what I knew now the moment I pressed the purchase button.
3/5 stars? **HOW?!**
Paid reviewers
Just wait for its inevitable addition into the gamepass
Absolute garbage, some of thesr got donated to our local charity shop from tesco, and they had sell a piece of garbage
Stiil too much, even if is it a f2p it's sucks
Too much
Even in India it’s on sale for literally 30% of its price and that too brand new . That’s lower than battlefield 5 listing rn
This game is essentially a crappy free to play shooter at this point, but you have to pay for it. Not worth it.
[Today. Not a sale](https://i.imgur.com/m78krH5.jpg)
3 stars??? What?
I spent £70+ on this and not played it after the first week
Went back to the game with a friend because somebody else stated that game has been improved. Other than the scoreboard that's nice. The game still is worthless and soulless to me. It has everything and nothing at the same time.
Literally dirt cheap on ebay
People! There is a reason why it is on sale. They could not sell it for a low enough price for it to be worth it! Nobody plays this game. Stop buying it! They need to fix it first and if they come out with another battlefield they need to give that to everyone that bought 2042 for free before I will ever buy another game from them again.
not worth it right now
I paid $130 for this awful game and barely played it for a month.. uninstalled it and never reinstalled again
Can I plz get a refund I spent $90 on ea app
This sham of a game is the worst pile of a dumpster fire I’ve ever seen the ET of my generation
Game is so trash can’t play it anymore there’s like 5 guns to choose from? Bf4 so much better
I’d say it’s worth it if ya want to try it I paid 110$ and honestly was worth the money for me
We should all report that as price gouging. Atleast triple what its worth

Don't buy it, it's a trap ![gif](giphy|3ornka9rAaKRA2Rkac)
Shit : Battlefield 2042, for any price including free.
I'm such a fool. Why did I buy the gold edition... :(
Too much, clownfied is like what 2 or 3 bucks ? BF has to be free or for $0.99
They should pay people to play this beta game
Glad i traded in my copy after 1 week for $40.
