This is worse than Battlefield 4 launch. I did enjoy BF4 but they completely ruin with it when they added MT in it. Yes, i’m not Joking. They did put that thing in BF4.

OB1Biker2350d ago

No I didn't play bf4 but hear a lot about the launch. It's no where close the same problem talking server and the like of course.

Jinger2350d ago

Yeah the servers have been great. No noticeable lag or games dropping. Wayyyyy better than Battlefield 4.

jagermaster6192350d ago

My experience was great the first couple days then it had lag issues but seems the update fixed all the problems for me.

Thomaticus2350d ago

I never finished BF4 due to the glitch that caused your game save to become corrupt.

InTheZoneAC2350d ago

Bf4 was not ruined by MT. Only whales that never played the game but said shortcuts allow them to play with unlocks since they have no time to unlock them were idiots. If you have no time to play then why buy something you're hardly going to use?

AnubisG2350d ago

I agree that this is bad but BF4 when launched, you could not play online what so ever for a week or two and you could not play the campaign because your save file kept getting corrupted constantly and the game crashed all the time. It was absolutely 100% unplayable at launch. At least you can play BF2.......but that's not saying much.

Technical issues are a lot different.

EA did the MT's on purpose, you cant really predict network stability.

And the MT in BF4 were meaningless.

Kleptic2350d ago

That's a very different debate...I completely agree with you, but you very much can 'predict network stability'...it's just getting the network ready for BF4's launch was expensive, so they didn't do it...EA's been doing that for years, and i'm kind of blown away that BF4's release didn't net a similar push back as battlefront II has...just for different reasons.

All i mean is DICE and EA weren't sitting around in late 2013 saying 'I really can't believe this has so many problems' stability wise...Important people knew months before release that it was going to be on fire, and they released it anyway.

Don't forget Activision, Warner Bros and every other studio.

Get some perspective.

OB1Biker2350d ago (Edited 2350d ago )

Yesterday jumping in a match my cards were gone. Came back to main menu then started a new match they were back.
There were many server lag I believe. Now all is working fine
Edit:
Oh hey people wanting to call me apologist or insult or belittle what I say because I enjoy a game move on. I won't waste my time replying anymore.

Godmars2902350d ago

Would think any disagrees would have more to do with any kind of defense of MTs which doesn't actually translate into liking the game said MTs have been attached to.

On a side note wonder if this may cost EA the SW license. If Disney will pull it. That would send the ultimate message - if not for the fact it Activision would get it next.

OB1Biker2350d ago

Oh Ive never been bothered with disagrees even if some people mistake then for like,dislike going fb too much haha
I think the game could easily work if they straight remove loot crates which are not needed for progression. Hopefully the gambling bad publicity can push that.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2350d ago

I'm with you. I think the game is great besides all the drama attached to it.

Ittoittosai2350d ago

Dont waste your time posting then apologist.

pinkcrocodile752350d ago

What an @rseh0le thing to say.

Godmars2902350d ago

Of course loot boxes aren't required. They were forced into the game and designed to encourage extra revenue out of sheer greed.

CoryHG2350d ago

But youre complainimg and not enjoying

OB1Biker2350d ago

Not sure what makes you say that I'm enjoying the game a lot and want it to improve.

Square & Bandai Namco Being Honest About Quality Is A Step In The Right Direction

Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."

Nerdmaster13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.

About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.

shinoff218312h ago

I want a true ff7 remake. With thatcsaid I'm way happier with 7 remake then I was with ff16. I'd still prefer turn based but square keep chasing these Lil kids

Snookies129h ago

Man, it is perfectly fine to prefer turn based. Turn based is amazing. But there's zero reason to call anyone who likes action games "lil kids". Liking one gameplay system over another does not make you more mature in any way.

VersusDMC12h ago

People love the new FF's overall...the problem is the abundance of 7's they release that lose money or make very little like diofield, star ocean divine force, Valkyrie asylum, harvestella, foam stars, etc. Advertising wouldn't have saved those games. Apparently Forespoken had a big Advertising budget but we saw how that went.

shinoff218311h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Star ocean divine force actually sold well from what I've read not ff type numbers but well enough. Was a dope game to.

FinalFantasyFanatic10h ago

Bandai Namco is going to Bandai Namco, I do believe that Square Enix can't change without changing the entire management, they've had these issues for more than a decade and haven't learnt, I have very little faith they can course correct. I'll still buy their better remasters/remakes like Star Ocean 2 though (not FF7R).

Asterphoenix8h ago

Namco is just milking the same Sword Art Online with lack of budget as well as anime IPs that don't go to decent developers like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia. Namco deserves their losses and no future Dot Hack or Xenosaga remaster :(.

Square allocated lot of their budget on Forspoken was a mistake. Square always had management issues. Star Ocean 2 was a great remake and I found their recent entries of FF(16 and Rebirth) better than 13 and 15.
I think they were better than 360/PS3 generation where Square went really downhill.

CrimsonWing6911h ago

I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
