Current Events > So i guess Battlefield V tanked, huh?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Guess thats what happens when you try to appease to SJWs instead of trump supporters huh

the few reviews/impressions ive seen of it were mostly positive.

i dunno if its selling super well tho i really dont see that many people talking about it.
---

Were the reviews from the soyboys over at Cucktaku? They cheer on any shitty game as long as it has sjw elements in it.

Game just came out and it's being sold for 30-40 bucks from retail stores.

Why did people hate it, because it has minority and female characters?

that and because people have deluded themselves into believing that battlefield is some sort of historically accurate war simulator

No because its a pisspoor excuse for including diversity without actually promoting it. World War 2 included more than 30 countries, yet theres no sign of anyone other than the British and Germans. They couldve showcased badass women like those in the Soviet front, or included Japanese and Chinese troops, they couldve had Indians fighting for the allies in Africa, or the Maori as well. Thats diversity. Thats showing sides of the war that are rarely exposed by videogames. Its so easy to show that the war wasnt just fought by white men.

The issue is that instead of that, they created nonsensical characters that couldve never existed, feature stories that are blatantly against the timeline of the war, and include the least amount of factions in any of the most recent Battlefield games.

But yeah, people are mad because of the Asian women fighing for Germany.

Battlefield 1 did a much better example for promoting diversity in a way that doesnt completely contradict history.

Now we have devs saying that people need to grow up and read a book. Thank you for educating me on the incredibly accepting and open minded Nazis, DICE.

I was gonna buy it regardless until they called the gamers uneducated.

This.

It wasn't that it was a woman, it was that it just looked goofy and stupid as hell.

There are ways to promote diversity and there are ways to look like you're pandering.

And it didn't help when their fans called them out, they didn't pull a "well, we're trying for a more fantastical type of WWII" or "video games have a history of bending history like this."

no, they went "You're a dumb bigot please don't buy our game."

Honestly, this game needed to bomb after that shit.

Battlefield is getting stale anyway. How different is this going to be from the previous ones?

Heard it was great. Not buying it though because I'm burnt the fuck out on BF and have a new found love for COD. People criticizing the game for including women and minorities are fucking ridiculous though. Who plays Battlefield for the historical accuracy? Lol

The stuff you're listing had so little to do with sales that it might as well have been entirely insignificant. It's a combination of really poor marketing compared to Battlefield One which had really good ads everywhere and a lack of battle royale mode, which is the most popular thing in video games atm and which its primary competitor has and built almost all its advertising around.

"Don't like it? Don't buy it."

"Okay."

how do people have the capacity to care about shit like this?
---

If BFV is underselling, it's because DICE released an incomplete game, not whatever manufactured garbage the incels are jerking themselves off to.
---

It does, while fun (not as fun as BF1), really feels incomplete, especially with the constant updating.
Granted the constant updating is much appreciated.
---

It's probably my all time favorite Battlefield so far.

To be fair thats the route every release this month has gone

Nice

Is this like when people said Battlefront 2 flopped and it ended up selling 10+ million copies in the long run?
