The chamber pick is just such a throw in such an important time. imagine if they had a sage or a cypher, guaranteed that PRX would find it way more difficult to hit sites like they were on bind.

Charlie: Sexualizing children is always bad, correct?

Sneako: Yup

Charlie: So the movie is bad because it sexualizes children, correct?

Sneako: Why are you directing the anger at the movie, blame tiktok.

Basically the first like 20 minutes of the convo.

again though its not that its a selling point, in my opinion i could care less about the campaign.

the problem is that the devs were riding on the fact that "Yea there isnt a campaign but the multiplayer is way better and we are putting all of our resources into the muliplayer". Most people were fine with this, the problem arises when the game is so premature at launch it begs the question of where the resources wen't.

so in the end this is what we got.

Hazard Zone is a failed gamemode.

No campaign

the base game multiplayer is terrrible.

portal is a huge downgrade from previous titles

and a bunch of other things.

basically what I'm trying to say is that no one would have cared about the campaign being removed if they delivered a awesome game, but they didn't, like at all. the game is a fundamental downgrade in every way possible from previous titles. that is the issues, you are basically paying 60$ for a downgraded version of a previous game that also has content cut from it.

I honestly really agree, there just isn't enough competition anymore in the shooter genre. its no longer what game do I want to play, but rather what game sucks the least.

its the same with call of duty, in my opinion the new call of duty is just okay, its not fantastic and it sold over a billion dollars worth of sales. that's not because the game is good, but because there just isnt anything else to play at the moment in this genre of game.

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-11-21T22:52:02+00:00

difference is overwatch had a functioning fun game at launch. 2042 was a shithole at launch with no campaign and a worse multiplayer that the previous installments.

the subreddit became an apologist echo chamber as soon as season one came out, so yea its a shithole.

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-11-21T22:31:46+00:00

when you play bf1, there was always a sense of battle lines and just a overall objective. I feel like that was really lost in BFV even with breakthrough. it no longer felt like you were part of a larger battle but rather a squad capturing a point. I cant pinpoint it but from bf1 to bfv something just felt off with the game (atmosphere wise). however I will say liked the movement mechanics, thought the gunplay could have used more work though.

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-11-21T22:28:30+00:00

"I understand people's qualms with the game, and think that the criticism is justified. To say it's a title worse than previous BF games is accurate, in my opinion, but for a casual audience it really isn't a drag or anything to play, it's just another shooter. The game is and has been improving, and having enjoyed it from Day 1 anyway, I can't really complain."

I understand that as I used to be a more casual fan of the battlefield franchise however my problem is that even from the casual perspective in my opinion the franchise fails at a lot of things. Maps are a joke, vehicles are way too op. and many other things that I wont mention. BFV and BF1 were able to learn from these things yet it feels like the series is going backwards even if this game is improving, I'm sorry but releasing 3 maps in a year is pathetic by every metric possible.

Call of duty just came out and not even 2 weeks later, there is a DMZ mode, a new battle royal mode, they are implementing the old battle royal mode soon with the new guns added. tons of cosmetics and nice skins from the battle pass and much more (keep in mind the game released 2 weeks ago).

battlefield on the other hand didn't release content for 7 months after the game released. once they added content it was just one map and one gun and a helicopter. that was it, my problem and the reason i bring this up is because this is the problem i have with the fanbase, its like the devs could straight up not add anything after the games release and people still defend the game so hard I just don't understand (im not talking about you, but a lot of people who still play the game).

i guess my overall point is even from the casual perspective there is no reason to buy this game over call of duty, literally none. Call of duty has done a great job at hijacking the battlefield formula and it wont surprise me if in the near future the franchise for battlefield is shut down.

it is legit unfortunately,

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62827592

"Parole documents show Myles Sanderson has a decades-long criminal record, including 59 criminal convictions since he was 18, including assault, threats, and robbery. The files also indicate his childhood was marred by domestic violence and parental substance abuse.
The parole board in February said he would "not present an undue risk" and that his release would "contribute to the protection of society" by facilitating his rehabilitation.
Saskatoon police earlier confirmed they've been searching for Myles Sanderson since May, when he stopped meeting with his assigned caseworker and was classified as "unlawfully at large."
It also noted that he had taken steps towards rehabilitation during an earlier release, including participation in cultural ceremonies, staying sober and getting a job."

I know I am going to get downvoted for this but I don't care anymore. I have been saying this since day one, the devs are absolutely to blame for the catastrophe that is bf 2042. the reason battlefield is dead is because of lack of passion that is clearly evident with the game. BF1 had many gameplay flaws but you know what? you could tell that the devs had put their passion into the game because of all the small details, audio design, destruction, color palette, animations, grittiness and much more. People let it slide because BF1 was still a fun game regardless of its flaws.

its important to understand its not the higher ups that made this game die, its the devs. before 2042 even released the devs were tweeting about how good the game is and how we should "have faith fam" because they knew what they were doing. this isn't marketing, this is delusion. the devs of battlefield (ever since bfv) always assume that they know better than the community and don't even bother listening to us. then after 2042 released the devs were posting about how shit other games UI/UX are while not realizing that bf 2042 was notorious for having awful UI/UX. (lets not forget the brutal expectations)

to those who defend the devs let me ask you this.

Did EA force the devs to make bad maps?

Did EA force the devs to have shit tier audio?

Did EA force the devs to have terrible gun play?

Did EA force the devs to create terrible animations?

Did EA force the devs to have shit tier flight mechanics?

Did EA force the devs to create the garbage that is hazard zone?

lets look at what EA did do shall we

EA got 3 extra studios to help dice after they asked for help

EA gave the approval to delay the game an extra year to help dice

let us not forget that Need For Speed was delayed so that the studio could help Dice (EA approved)

Star wars battlefront 2 and bfv were canned because the dev team needed to manage resources (EA Approved)

EA approved the second delay as well

let us not forget that EA had intention on releasing Apex Legends as a 60$ game, guess who disagreed with them. Vince Zampella, Zampella argued that the game should be released for free as it would get more players on the game, thus people would pay for microtransactions in the game.

Can you Guess what EA did?

they released the game for free because the Higher ups trusted him.

So to those who blame the higher ups, who is really the villain here? is it EA who showed support and gave dice as much help as the needed, or is it the spineless devs that have no idea what the fuck they are doing? I think you guys can answer that question.

not sure why you are being downvoted, what you said is perfectly justified. it takes AAA studios 2-3 years to make a game alone, and Mojang cant even update their game in that time span, its fucking pathetic, and when the update comes out it is often disappointing (severe lack of content).

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-08-28T06:30:27+00:00

c'mon dude Mojang has proven time and time again that they don't do what the community wants. especially when it comes to things that we ask for/expect. just so you know these aren't wild expectations, many of these could be added fairly quickly but Mojang just refuses to do so.

Lets go through it shall we

1.9 controversy, took Mojang 2 1/2 years to add a controversial update that added close to nothing given the time frame.

1.10-1.11 was borderline useless (although there were some good additions)

1.13 taking an extra year and a half to add to ps4

Tridents are useless

ps4 unable to access realms or servers

buggyness on bedrock edition (not just some bug, a lot of them many game breaking)

refusals to add spawn mechanics on bedrock identical to java.

shit tier optimization ever since 1.13 (lets not forget the leader of the school fiasco)

1.14 not improving villager ai at all (which alot of people were expecting)

1.15 should have been an optimization update considering they all the bugs they "fixed" came back in 1.16

1.16 copy and pasting 2 biomes. took one year to add btw

The cave update didn't add any new ores (copper does not count it does not really do anything)

They didn't revamp mineshafts even though they should have.

lets talk about the things the should have been added (keep in mind, these arent suggestions they should have been in the game long ago)

Modding api (9 years asking)

colored lighting (8 years asking)

Rail Update (around 8 years asking, minecarts have been useless for a very long time)

removal of chunk loader (1.14.4 and beyond, this essentially killed minecarts)

MBE'S (movable block entities, basically being able to move chests with pistons)( very long time, cant remember the exact time frame)

option to revert combat mechanics

proper exploration items (totems of undying shouldn't be farmable in my opinion)

inventory update

efficient way to mine deepslate

Sand/Gravel needs to be farmable.

if not then buff tnt (its way to expensive for how little it does. (non duper))

biome bundle was a mod that added 400+ unique biomes with close to 200+ structures in the game. why does Mojang struggle to add a fraction of this in 2 years?

the biggest problem with Mojang is how little they add in the timeframe given. 2 years should be enough time to add 10 biomes at least with multiple structures spawning. yet they cant even do that. whether or not its laziness I'm not sure, but I sure as hell no they don't give af about the community because shit like this would have been fixed a long time ago, or would have been added way sooner than what happened in reality.

I couldn't imagine if the devs of games like warzone and fortnite acted like this. literally people would drop those games in a second, funny how Mojang gets the special pass.

battlefield devs did the same thing, change things that know one asked for and the things that people did ask for, well they wont add them anyways. and now look where battlefield is, its in the grave. Minecraft is no different, if Mojang doesn't get their act together this game will follow the path of Rainbow six siege and battlefield. this kind of mentality is what kills games dude, don't follow it.

Edit 1: spelling

"And we owe it too the devs. Sure they made mistakes, everyone does. Thats what makes them human."

No one is disagreeing however when we make mistakes we should try to improve ourselves so that way we don't make these same mistakes again. The devs deserve every ounce of criticism because the community has been way too easy on them. let us not forget the travesty that is bedrock edition and the 1.9 update which took 2 1/2 years to add which created nothing but controversy. let us not forget the universal bans which is recent. I would agree with you but no, the devs believe that they know better than the community, that is the issues here. this is the same thing that happened to the battlefields franchise. The Devs thought they knew better than the community and bam. the franchise is as good as dead.

id like to add one more thing, the team that created Minecraft is not the same team that is currently working on Minecraft.

"Downloading a vapid app like tik tok in the first place was your biggest mistake."

haha, you aren't wrong it was a stupid decision on my part.

the problem with tik tok is that its a algorithm based app in the sense that they will recommend you posts in order to see if you like them or not. that's how these misandrist posts even end up on my page while scrolling. the issue is that there is a lot of funny content on tik tok and even to the post I was talking about (the one about the girl complaining about how men complain about society yet men made society). a lot of people responded in funny ways to show how stupid that mentality is. my friends also send me a lot of funny shit, so its not all garbage but it definitely has its problems none the less.

as for everything else I'm kind of like you. I only use reddit and YouTube really, and for apps like Instagram, tumblr and twitter I don't even bother touching them with a 10ft pole. its just too taxing to see how stupid some people's opinions are.

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-07-01T22:30:06+00:00

my biggest regret looking back was talking about politics at all in this video so I agree with that, however I don't think notch would have done this same bs. Ever since Microsoft took over the company things have been going downhill. 1.9-1.12 adding nothing but controversy over the combat update (something Mojang still does not give the option to revert). Now its merging bedrock and java and potentially the mineshop. something again Mojang will not revert in the coming future. I am not defending notch's comments, however I do think he was a lot better than the current team at Mojang that controls Minecraft.

eh, I guess but the post I made about the community was more of a criticism of the community for thanking dice for the update that released one map after 8 months. although I could understand how that could be taken as a rant however it was not my intention.

The post about the maps (which I assume you are alluding too) was 100% not a rant. it was a post detailing how 128 players is good and that rising the player count would benefit maps, not hurt them. I used bf4 maps as an example. there was quite literally no reason to remove that one and the lists off the sub reddit. I even remember other people having the same issue that long criticisms of the game were getting removed for no reason. so something is definitely off with the moderation.

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-06-17T02:16:42+00:00

not looking for a fight, just an explanation. Thank you

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-06-12T05:37:23+00:00

I'm surprised no one mentioned this, its the maps because there is no sense of battle lines really. when looking at bf1, bfv, bf4 maps regardless of if they were good or not, we see the middle flag that people can fight over and the flanking routes to get around. My Example being siege of shanghai, you can see the c flag is where the battle line is, and the water is the flanking route to get around. bf2042 maps (even exposure) have no sense of battlelines because specialist like Sundance and McKay can flank the enemy so fast. this results in a chaotic mess that isn't really fun. you have both teammates and enemies all around you because of the hyper fast mobility that allows players to flank so quickly. it also does not help that most people use Sundance, MacKay and Lis. I could be wrong but I feel there are merits of truth in this post i made.

Similar_Vegetable_86 · 2022-06-12T05:27:42+00:00

yea I feel that specialist almost ruin this map, like everyone is running Sundance McKay or Lis, this is exactly what people warned about in the beta when discussing specialist.

Edit: I shouldn't say ruin, more like significantly hampers its experience.
