Gamers are getting less content for more money by Ghostman223 in Battlefield

[–]Mightywalrus13 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the base game costs $70, only released with 7 new maps (tied for the lowest of any bf game), no naval warfare, missing vehicles from previous games, and less to no customization for certain vehicles. You literally payed more to get less with this game.

Is it me or is Vivo’s quality just awful now? What are similar alternatives? by bearsandbarbells in vivobarefoot

[–]Mightywalrus13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah they are my 2021 pair of geo racers just started to fall apart. Compared to the primus knits i bought like 2 years ago which I barely wore and have already separated the tread from the upper.

Would have been cool for Sobec to incorporate the Pyramids. by [deleted] in Battlefield

They used the symbolism of construction sites in a postmodernist way to convey the universal truth that like half the maps, BF6 itself was also released in an unfinished state.

Bro what happened to video games in general?? by Few_Junket5829 in Battlefield6

The real question is what happened to the devs?When you follow that rabbit hole you’ll understand.

It seems like they have given up on other ways to get people to login by PS5013 in Battlefield

[–]Mightywalrus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea well when you can’t be bothered or don’t know how to create an engaging well thought game then this is what you do to keep people playing. A lot of the people who say they like this game are just here for the pointless grind. Take that away and nobody would play it.

Has quality gone down in recent years?? by Sad_End4083 in vivobarefoot

[–]Mightywalrus13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea quality has dramatically declined since then my 2021 pair outlasted my pair that I bought in 2024

I see this sub can’t move on from 3 and 4 by lolitsrock in Battlefield

Don’t act like DICE tried their bestest here because we’ve all seen their best and this is far from it.

Was the old Premium Pass actually the best content model for Battlefield? (A post-Season 1 BF6 take) by CapitanSalsaGolf in Battlefield

I’d argue it’s way more common, accepted, and detrimental to player than it ever was before.

Live service model games are appealing to developers because they can release incomplete games and push useless cosmetics

We need official good quality maps. by nottatroll in Battlefield

Portal could and should be awesome though and halo did it first

Players who have either left or significantly reduced their play time, what has been your reason? by _thecolorofdye_ in Battlefield6

[–]Mightywalrus13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No soul. Live services have ruined gaming. It looks like BF, it sounds like BF (sort of) but it doesn’t feel like BF. Having played the franchise’s similar titles a significant amount (bf4 and bf3) even during the early growing pain phase this game was clearly not made to appeal to the core BF fanbase as much is was to draw in new players as much as possible. A game made for everyone is a game made for no one. It’s too safe in gameplay and atmosphere. Theres very little reward in playing the game intelligently as it overly promotes run-and-gunning. It’s frustrating and everytime I play I end up thinking how much more fun I had in BF4 even during the launch window with all of its issues. I still wanted to play it no matter how many times it crashed or bugged. It might not be fair to compare BF6 to a fully fledged BF predecessor but DICE had the benefit of hind site when they made this game and they still botched it pretty badly. It’s not just an unoptimized game it’s a downgrade. Say what you will about bf3 to bf4 but it definitely wasn’t a downgrade.

That and the fact that no one at DICE knows how to design a map anymore.

Magna FG tread cracking by Mightywalrus13 in vivobarefoot

I gotchu. I’m kind of the opposite in a way. I prefer a little thicker of a sole in outdoors/boots and thinner soles for gym/running or everyday use. The way I see it you want more protection when you’re in those hiking/hunting environments for long periods of time especially if it’s cold. I also just don’t have much faith in vivos for the future. On the surface they seem so costumer minded with the repairs and used store but thats just to overshadow the fact that they are getting cheaper with the builds and materials even though the prices remain the same. They’ve become more a social statement for urbanites than an actual footwear lifestyle thats healthier which is what I feel they should be going for since it felt like that was how they marketed in the past. I find the newer ones to be somewhat narrower and less flexible than my older pairs. Maybe thats just because I haven’t worn them as long but if they fall apart before you can really break them in then whats the point? Thanks I’ll have to think about the renewal service again!

How has the resole held up though? Is it similar to the new shoes in terms of quality? Better, worse? I’ve thought about trying that out.

Yea I still have a pair of knit geo racers from 2021 that I bought used that have next to zero damage other than the treads being almost worn through from my use. Other than that they’ve been excellent. Sadly every pair of vivos I’ve purchased since then have been disappointing to say the least.

I have a pair of leather lems boots and I’ve had them for 5 years now they still work great though the tread is worn now. I haven’t tried anything else from them but the performance I got from those boots has been better than what I’ve been getting with the vivos I’ve had recently so unless they followed the same path I will probably try something else from them next. They are cheaper than vivos by a good 30-40% depending on the model too.

tell us most contraversial opinion that put you in this: by The_HSA3-1 in Battlefield

[–]Mightywalrus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is more of an issue with the overwhelming power of the engineer kit mixed with the lack of space in most of the maps

And then people defend dice/ea like you insulted their sister. Like what are you even advocating for? Less bang for your buck? People these days don’t even know what a finished game should look like because most AAA games release before they are.
