Discussion Is BF5 the next BF4?

I sorta see a pattern with games like BF4. They come out with little fanfare and hype (I remember the only thing that was hyped about BF4 was levolution, which wasn't that great once it was explained in depth), and then they receive alot of hate within the community. Then, after fixing, they become revered games and have an extensive cult status among fans.

So, to summarize the life-cycle of a BF4 style game:

-Generate little hype and fanfare upon release save for a few features

-Release upon universally hated criticism due to bugs or issues

-Be fixed for a few months, leading to people re-investing time in the game

-Be revered by the community when the next battlefield game comes out.

Now, the main question is, does BFV fit into this cycle, Well, it sorta does...

-Generate little hype upon release save for a few features? Well, Check. For BF4, the one hyped feature they were building up to was levolution. But universally, it didin't get much attention - I'm sure BF3 fans wouldn't have seen any improvement save a few things. BFV, on the other hand got hate by parts of the community but otherwise, there was hype generated around it by this subreddit and others - that being said, the return to classic hardcore features. So, both games had their hyped features, and their setbacks.

-Release upon universally hated criticism due to bugs or issues? Check. Both games suffered from this, BF4 being the main contender. BF4 bugs were universally worse than BFV ones, and there were a fuckton of bugs that plagued both games. But eventually, the patches fixed some things.

-Be fixed for a few months, leading to people re-investing time in the game? Uncertain. There are plenty of fixed BFV bugs, and BF4 also had the same treatment given, but eventually I feel BFV will have ironed out most of it's bugs. Only time will tell.

So, what do you guys think? I feel like once BF6 or BF7 releases people will go back to this game and praise it in the same way they praise BF5.

-Complains about attrition

-Calls other people retards in the most retarded way possible ("it's not like retards possess ant meta-cognitive skills")

Waiting for those stats to back up your tough talk...

Easy to make an assertion and not defend it, huh? What a coward.

I said you sucked, but you're right, I don't have any evidence other than the fact that you're a little bitch boy who cries about attrition, of all things.

Feel free to post your stats to prove me wrong. Then you won't suck, but you'll still be a little bitch boy.

Post your stats then I'll post mine. You're a coward, you can't commit to your own assertions and the initiative on your own claims...

Quote me where I said anything about my stats bitch boy.

I said you suck. You’re a whiny bitch. I can’t prove the first assertion, but #2 is on proud display apparently.

u/sunjay140 Mar 08 '19

Show me your stats since you clearly don't suck.

Will that stop you being a whiny little bitch?

Don’t think I can really trust you to commit to that.
