Battlefield 4

[Mazy]

I feel like such an idiot for buying BF4 on both PC and PS4, getting Premium for PC only and then ending up playing that version for 1/10th of the time that I've spent on the PS4 :/ Heard good things about the Second Assault pack tho, even if that is just old recycled maps.

[knj]

i'm tempted, but first i need to see if it is playable, and MAYBE just MAYBE i will get that, but still FUCK EA

[Sprony]

So is it playable ? lol, it should be if EA is spittng out 2nd assault

Can't connect to a server since second assault..

[Rick_D]

connecting to servers is the next dlc

Anyone playing this currently on PS4? How is it (after all the recent patches)?

[Algor]

I've been playing on PS4 since around launch. As of this year it has been pretty stable

[PaulH]

Good to know, will pick up a copy. Didn't want to miss out on playing this one altogether

[⌐■_■]

just saw that there's a new patch brought out as of today (for pc at least). think I'm going to try to join a server tonight to check up on my performance/stability issues with bf4...

"We haven't seen any damage [to the brand from these issues]," he reportedly said. "Clearly we're very focused on protecting that brand.

"We've also tried to provide extra content to the consumers to make sure they keep coming back and playing the game and we're finding that it's working very well. I don't see that there's a damage issue. I think for us it's making sure that we're providing great gameplay for the consumer and we'll continue to do that."

They haven't seen any damage? Are they kidding? I guess they're talking from a sales point of view, but still.. The Battlefield 4 brand has definitely been damaged. I have always been a fan of the BF series, but I haven't played Battlefield 4 because of all the bad things I've been hearing, and a lot of my friends feel the same way. The brand has definitely been damaged, and they need to rectify this for BF5 and probably the next Battlefront game too.

Exactly the same liam, have yet to play it. Doubt I ever will. For me it's gone a very similar direction to CoD, after the piece of shit that was MW2 I haven't touched them.

Game's been playable on PC since 2 weeks after release. Worst thing still occurring is apparently PS4 rubber banding on high player count servers. That shit sucks but the PC side has been fine for awhile if a crash here or there doesn't make you furious and storm off to twitter to tell the world precisely how mad you are in a post that clearly shows what a calm, collected individual you are and someone we'd all want to hang out with sometime.

well, tbh a lot of the critique was fair. people buy a product and it's unplayable. in my books that's unacceptable. you don't like a game? fine. you release a shitty product and sell it for the full price, people will start complaining. it's sore for the developers and I feel for them, but it doesn't change the fact people got fooled into spending their money and investing their time on an unplayable game..

 

in all fairness though, i must admit i've had a fun time last night playing bf4 without much issue. it's a first for me and at least last i felt i was getting value for my time/efforts/money.

[Erratic]

Yeah, I mean, the game was a fucking mess. Just not quite the mess that's been reported.

 

Expecting measured reactions from the internet is pretty fucking stupid of me though, I'll admit.
