A Kotaku writer pining for Xbox's golden years. I'm guessing there will be some good comments here.
Lol I love how people are pretending to be upset about loot boxes while they act equally as mad at Sony that they can't use all the MTs they bought in fortnite when they play on the switch. If I'm an exec seeing how much people get mad about not being able to play with dumb cosmetics they bought with real money, I'd be jamming them into every possible game.
What I'm saying is that like 3% of the people mad about the changes to battlefield are primarily mad about women being in the game, but by packaging the addition of playable women with all the changes people are actually mad about, EA can pretend like the people with legitimate criticisms are just "trolls mad about girls being included."
But yeah the minority actually mad just about female characters are dumb.
I like that they introduced a bunch of annoying garbage like face paint designed to sell skins/MTs alongside of introducing playable female characters, so that whenever people complain about the changes obviously focused on selling MTs, they can say "You just HATE women!" "You're a terrible MRA sexist troll!". I'm actually not being sarcastic-this was a really nice marketing move, because they had to know there was going to be backlash on the aesthetic stuff, and ...
I can't believe people are this mad because they can't have their special hat or fly with their special umbrella when they play on Switch. It doesn't change the game at all. No wonder these companies are always trying to take advantage of us with microtransactions.
It's horrifying to me how many people apparently think this mediocre 4-map remake was good; I assume they never actually played BF1942.
Because he never played bf1942 to know that this is a garbage remake.
No. It is a bastardization of BF1942. Limits the class system and cuts out most of the best maps. One of the worst battlefield games.
Lol there was an "MGS4 is coming to 360" article like every few weeks at one point.
You have to remember though that a lot of the crowd from that time is gone; even if a lot of these people on here now participated in the last gen, it was probably later after things had balanced out a lot (I tend to think of Uncharted 2 as one of the markers of that, but that isn't scientific).
What I'm getting at is that people don't remember the an...
I bet a millennial made it.

When I said "true WWII Battlefield" I was intentionally excluding BF1943. This was not a true iteration of the series, it was a remake of only a handful of BF1942's maps (and only Pacific theater ones for some reason) and it also limited the class system compared to BF1942.
Even counting that, considering it came out with BFBC2, there have been 3 modern Battlefields during that time, and none of them were 4-map multiplayer-only rema...
There were four modern BF games between 2008 and 2013 (BFBC, BFBC2, BF3, BF4). BF4 still has an active player base on current gen consoles and PC. There hasn't been a true WWII battlefield since 2002. How does a modern setting make sense?
BF1942 was long enough ago that (unfortunately) most people playing now never played it. BF1943 was just a weak remaster of a few maps from 1942, and hardly a true iteration of the series.
I don't understand all the shock that this isn't a modern setting. Battlefield Bad Company 1 & 2, and Battlefield 3 & 4 were all modern military shooters. Four games since 2008. There hasn't been a proper WWII battlefield since 2002 (I don't count BF1943 as a true iteration of the series as it was only a few maps), and most people playing now never played that one, and even those that did can recognize that the engine has changed significantly enough that a revisit to...
I'd rather have a Flash game...but knowing that's not going to happen, I'll just stick with neon power in infamous and pretend.

I'm implying that I don't understand the connection you are trying to make-in some sense you are apparently mad at Cliffy for abandoning the Xbox in favor of PS4. This would be a very effective insult/complaint if he had made a decent game--rather than a late attempt to cash in on a genre--and it had failed to find an audience on PS4. But right now, the only way your comment (which implies that Lawbreakers would have been successful on Xbox) has any logical coher...
The one that doesn't buy rushed attempts to cash in on popular genres? That one? Is the implication here that another install base would have been more receptive to mediocre games?
People don't want to admit this, but it is totally true. SNES was the pinnacle of 2D-systems, while N64 (and PS1) were very rough transitions to 3D. Given how far 3D has come, while 2D hasn't, going back to N64 isn't nearly as satisfying as going back to NES/SNES.
Unfortunately for him Xbox Players will ignore his unfinished, late-to-genre nonsense just like PS4 players did. I know it's a fun joke to rip on Xbox for having low first party output, but the reality is there are a decent number of great games to play on the system (not even factoring in BC), so they aren't going to be desperate enough to play trash.
Exactly. The people who are so upset about accounts are the people who spend tons of money on MTs.
