[desert elbow]

Why’d you buy a game if you wouldn’t like it?

[hazy vector]

preorder?

ie, hope it's good and throw money at it

[forest spear]

I pre ordered the game earlier and no choice played over 2 hrs and i can't refund that's steam for you

[foggy crest]

No don't you dare ask for refund it's the best Battlefield game ever made 10/10

[high mantle]

gambling moment

[dim blade]

After beta i didnt pre order, after 10h EA trial i didnt buy at all lol

[forest spear]

scam

[hazy vector]

i remember TotalBiscuit trying to get people to not pre-order on empty promises

[mystic horizon]

You need to qualify your case with the distributor with whom you purchased the product. Re. Refund

[hazy vector]

"we're going to make the most awesome game, no don't look at out previous release disasters"

[wintry mortar]

Starting petition to make Sundance obese, we need representation

[hazy vector]

if you're trying to be edgy, you're doing a bad job at it

[forest spear]

starting petition to ea let us refund the game

[edgy oriole]

we need widowmaker build in the game. 🙂

[wintry mortar]

It's called inclusion, bigot 😎😎😎😎

[mystic horizon]

Yeah, petition won't work... But go ahead 🤘

[foggy crest]

Exo suits

[hazy vector]

don't some places like the UK have customer protection? where law overrules if the product is objectively worse than promised

[wintry mortar]

Dude the game doesn't even work 😂 I don't think devs do too much either. Some random person completely fixed the UI and made a scoreboard in an afternoon

[hazy vector]

iirc there have been some games that got forced into refunds after they turned out bad, before steam had a official policy

[dim blade]

Duke Nukem Forever?

[hazy vector]

possible, but also other games

[high mantle]

lmfao y'all remember the Arkham Knight PC port? what a fucking mess that was.
so many refunds all over the place

[dim blade]

I remember Fallout New Vegas was one of the buggiest launches, now its one of the best games

[mystic horizon]

Oh my that was bad!!

[desert elbow]

The UI is honestly one of the best in the series IMO

[hazy vector]

maybe not the best game, but a better addition to the franchise than 4 was at its base

[forest spear]

fuck steam policy and ea/dice 👍

[dim blade]

One of the best games for PC 🙂 you can mod the game beyond sanity

[arctic grove]

[grizzled whale]

perfectly reasonable policy

[hazy vector]

you can do that with any bathesda game, they're all the same engine

[arctic grove]

Xbox policy too. They said I had to cancel before release to get refund

[dim blade]

true but NV had a very big modding community, almost comparable to GTA series

skyrim too for that matter

[mystic horizon]

Skyrim... One of the best games!!

[hazy vector]

4 is also modded to hell and back, partly due to the workshop

[desert elbow]

Steam’s resupply policies are actually pretty good

[hazy vector]

skyrim enhanced edition: "lets steal some mods and claim we made them"

[desert elbow]

Depends on your country though

[dim blade]

yes cant wait for Steam to resupply the front in the console war

[knotty iron]

Battlefield 2042 EA REFUSES To Give SALES NUMBERS To Investors...

they are too ashamed

[forest spear]

lool this whole game is a scam, im defo not buying the next one. going for cod mw2 this year surely

[dim blade]

Yeah well, fuck the investors and them wanting to get an unfinished product out counting on sheeple for buying it anyway

[forest spear]

$200 down the drain

[grizzled whale]

to the public*

[knotty iron]

yeah

[hazy vector]

the game is a ponzi scheme, totally

[knotty iron]

wait till its free, maybe i will download it then

[dim blade]

waiting for f2p portal gang

[forest spear]

portal is shit anyway

[hazy vector]

inb4 they limit the availeble stuff to use for free players

[mystic horizon]

Portal is the future of gaming

[obsidian sigil]

Waiting for Roblox and BF cross over

[mystic horizon]

The FUTURE

[desert elbow]

Portal is great

[forest spear]

wait for battlebit

[knotty iron]

battlefield V is happy for being no longer the worst battlefield

[dim blade]

I mean portal XP is so slow that it gives incentive to buy the main game lol

[obsidian sigil]

Wtf is battlebit

[mystic horizon]

Battlebit is the future of gaming

[forest spear]

bfv isn't that bad they just lack of historical accuracy

[mystic horizon]

The FUTURE

[jagged salmon]

yeah, completely given up on the core game, but dropped into Portal yesterday after ducking BF2042 for a couple of months and actually had a good time. If there's anything to salvage from this game, it's there.

[forest spear]

basically battlefield in roblox engine. the game looks way better than cyberfield 2042

[knotty iron]

battlefield 2042 graphics looks like plastic

[forest spear]

destruction so so good in battlebit

[obsidian sigil]

Oh wait that actually is a thing? I was just trolling lol

[mystic horizon]

I'll give Battlebit a crack once it is out of early access

[knotty iron]

90% of players from first release are gone

[forest spear]

https://youtu.be/otYEdQ8njAo

it's f2p as well

[hazy vector]

anything you can think of has probably been made in roblox at some point

AS they do have a physics engine after all

[forest spear]

if they add stuffs like portal (go back to ww2/1) in battlebit it would be a complete game

[obsidian sigil]

They made Snowpiercer tv show interior in roblox, it looked cool but it was lacking many assets

[pine roost]

It’s not free

[forest spear]

it is

[mystic horizon]

Snowpiercer map for battlefield.

[pine roost]

Not it’s £15

[forest spear]

proof?

[wintry mortar]

Investors don't even know how bad the sales are yet, next quarters earnings they might finally find out

[obsidian sigil]

This seems like a terrible idea! I am in lol

[steel pelican]

battlebit is made in unity not roblox

[knotty iron]

probably 60% of sales where refunded

FUCK YOUTUBE FOR REMOVING DISLIKE

[signal shadow]

What the latest update inlcuded? There was no release notes. It was just to add the option to accept no refund process?

[tribal grail]

Wakey wakey lmao

[next isle]

Calm down dude

[knotty iron]

i knew that before but im still mad hahaa

[tribal grail]

Did you have a long sleep? Dislikes were removed a while ago

[grizzled whale]

and only 20% actually got refunded, which is 15% too much imo

[knotty iron]

yeah im not that mad i just wanted to know how bad it is lol

everything is going downhill

[tribal grail]

You talking about bf 2042?

[dim blade]

no we are clearly all just too old and dont understand the modern gaming industry

[wintry mortar]

Release half finished game

[hazy vector]

"is it i that am out of touch?"

[tribal grail]

Modern gaming industry SUCKS

[wintry mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/out-of-touch-principal-skinner-ea-electronic-arts-the-simpsons-gif-10333712

[hazy vector]

smaller studios not under the larger publishers are usually fine

[knotty iron]

ok if we are reading steam if you say 20% got refunded where are the 60k players right now? uninstalled the game?

[obsidian sigil]

Whoa just because some games turned out bad doesn't mean all of em are bad

[tribal grail]

I can’t understand people who honestly enjoy Warzone, Fortnite, PUBG, CSGO and stuff. These types of people also listen to modern rap and pop music and scroll Tiktok for the whole day

[grizzled whale]

simply not playing?

[tribal grail]

I only found about 5-4 games to be interesting so far

[wintry mortar]

If I don't get my refund I'm still uninstalling

[knotty iron]

i think more than 20% got refunded

[hazy vector]

We only know the steam numbers, not the other platforms

[grizzled whale]

i doubt it

[knotty iron]

where did you get the info of 20%?

[tribal grail]

The only good games now are made by studios who aren’t chasing profit

[grizzled whale]

most people arent eligible for refunds, and very few actually got refunded after that

[obsidian sigil]

Sadly i recognize this problem very wel

[dim blade]

Not really that accurate, i play CSGO and PUBG and sometimes Warzone and i have never installed TikTok XD, Rap music i can take it or leave it but doesnt really pop up often in my playlist

[next isle]

87% of all numbers are made up on the spot

[grizzled whale]

where did you get the info of 60%?

[hazy vector]

the people that didn't pre-order probably refunded it. the ones with higher level pre-orders probably have fomo of not getting something special for being early buyers

[wintry mortar]

13850%

[grizzled whale]

wasnt it 69%?

[wintry mortar]

204602%

[next isle]

Maybe

[tribal grail]

90% is pretty accurate. If you’re in other 10% doesn’t ruin my point lmao

[knotty iron]

i said probably reading the current players from day 1 and now, steam changed policy for refunding bf2042

[grizzled whale]

the current player base is no indication of how many refunds were issues

[knotty iron]

we are talking steam here

[hazy vector]

there's also no offical steam refund numbers

[grizzled whale]

But companies history of issueing refunds for people that arent eligible anymore is a guideline

[knotty iron]

i mean yeah, but i said probably, i did not said confirmed

[next isle]

Have steam actually changed their policy?

[hazy vector]

and people are perfectly willing to buy a game, not refund it but just stop playing

[grizzled whale]

steam very rarely gives out refunds when the requirements arent met

[next isle]

Someone was in here screaming at Steam for not accepting their refund earlier

[hazy vector]

people with more disosable income are even more likely to just leave the game to rot in their library

[knotty iron]

yes they did, they saw bf2042 downfall and reviews and they started refunding all bf2042 requests

[hazy vector]

Something about having more than the maximum hours after first launch and "reee other have been able to get a refund despite it"

[pine roost]

Their policy has nott changed. It’s just some users have managed to get through due to having a valid reason

[next isle]

Source on the policy?

[hazy vector]

well, the game works just not to full expectation

so it's probably an edgecase for steam

[knotty iron]

google it, here Steam breaks its refund policy to appease 'Battlefield 2042' players. ... Steam's refund policy is typically that if a player has logged more than two hours in the game or is requesting a refund after 14 days since purchase, they're ineligible for a refund.

[grizzled whale]

steam hasnt changed anything, and most people that claim they got a refund after 20+ hours are just trolling

[next isle]

No time for googling, please show me where Steam has adjusted their policy

[hazy vector]

"google it" and then find some jounro website that claims it?

[grizzled whale]

Spoiler alert: he cant

[hazy vector]

the system is run by people, so maybe they just encountered a good natured person

[knotty iron]

im not sure if they actually changed their policy officially, probably steam felt sorry for us and internally decided to give us refunds after the 2 hours period

[hazy vector]

with a day delay of the support request, my girlfriend also got a refund for store credit (and the game) after steam bugged out and charged her twice for a game yet didn't add it to her library

[grizzled whale]

Shocker

[knotty iron]

they probably created a ticked because of the big amount of refunds requests, trust me i work in that sector too

[next isle]

So maybe they didn't change the policy then

[knotty iron]

yeah probably just braking it for us

[pine roost]

Some steam refunds are reviewed by actual people, if they see that the issue being presented is such that they can’t play the game for whatever reason, they may be given a refund. That’s what it looks like at least

[hazy vector]

they're not breaking it for everyone

[grizzled whale]

^^^^

[hazy vector]

and maybe they're even teritory dependant due to varying costomer protection laws

[mystic horizon]

No they changed the policy... Everyone gets a refund. Oprah took over

[grizzled whale]

customer protection laws stop applying as soon as you agree to terms that go against it, aka buying a game on steam

[prisma anvil]

You get a refund.... You get a refund... Everybody gets a refund

[wintry mortar]

Oprah next specialist??? 🤔🤔

[prisma anvil]

No .. next one's dr. Phil

[wintry mortar]

waiting for the Steve Harvey specialist

[grizzled whale]

Dr Phil specialist please, he can send random people to the ranch for the rest of the game

[prisma anvil]

Also, Gordon Ramsay specialist when?...

[hazy vector]

They don't steam is just the seller, not the maker of the product

[knotty iron]

idk i just saw people getting refunds after 2 weeks of playing, i got my refund from EA support, played the early access and after 1 day of release i asked ea support for refund, the funny was that the first operator told me that im not eligible and i was angry, i contacted the second time and another operator said im eligible, i mean lol

[hazy vector]

so if the product is shit, the seller has to replace (whch they can't as it's not physical) or refund

[wintry mortar]

EA specialist. Perks: blind

[prisma anvil]

Its probably dependent on a lot of factors... Which combined makes it appear very random

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFcrGcNp0xQ Battlefield 2042 Is So Broken Steam Is Breaking Its Policy To Issue Refunds As Player Count Plummets

[grizzled whale]

"so if the product is shit"
Thats not how it works, they delivered a working product, you not liking it is your problem.
And even so, customer protection laws are seller v buyer, not maker

[dusky blade]

I got mine after 101 hours

[mystic horizon]

You'd need to meet the T & C of the reseller for a refund.

[grizzled whale]

hence why i said "most"

[knotty iron]

they delivered an unfinished product and downgraded from previous battlefields, request 110 dollars lol

[grizzled whale]

they delivered a working game which you dont enjoy, thats all

[wintry mortar]

Investor call acknowledged that there were technical issues after the games release. So not broken in his "opinion"

[dusky blade]

Happy days

[prisma anvil]

Again, I don't think we'll arrive at any solid conclusion on this.... There's just too many factors at play... Not to mention the random chance element

[knotty iron]

you are delusional bro

[dusky blade]

Refunding a game is heavily reliant on what support agent you get

[wintry mortar]

no. Dice acknowledged. EA acknowledged on the investor call.

[grizzled whale]

technical issues =/= broken/not functioning

[wintry mortar]

oh boy wording is cool wowzers

everyone agrees

[knotty iron]

It’s absolutely mind boggling that I see people trying to defend this game and argue with people saying they’re “just haters” or “need to go outside” I genuinely think if you have confidence that dice/ea want to make this game better or that this game is acceptable and not a disgrace, you need to be out on a government list.

[wintry mortar]

People talking better about the game than DICE and EA do 😂😂😂

[mystic horizon]

Lol, it's just a game... Why do emotional

[knotty iron]

we are not talking that bf 2042 is an unplayable game

[dusky blade]

Just saying, gaming is a multi billion dollar industry, it’s not just “games” in that sense

And these games cost a lot of money

[prisma anvil]

Again... Strictly legally speaking, they're not accountable..... They didn't promise anything except a bf game... Which it is (technically).... Again... Strictly legally....

[grizzled whale]

im talking about how refunds and protection laws work, i know the community thinks the game is a broken POS

but that doesnt change anything

[knotty iron]

you said this they delivered a working game which you dont enjoy, thats all

[grizzled whale]

and thats true

[dusky blade]

Thank god my country has the best consumer laws In the world probably

[grizzled whale]

which wouldnt help you in this case since you agreed to the sellers terms

[knotty iron]

initially the game was not working that good with servers not working, performance issues, crashes etcetera

[grizzled whale]

the first week yes, now, not so much

[dusky blade]

It states that games can be refunded within 24 days if any sort of issues occur

A game can also be refunded later if the game is made in a very weak way. It also massively considers ethical considerations

So pretty epic

[grizzled whale]

you might get a refund but if you do steam or whatever has the right to lock you out of your account for breaching the terms you agreed to

[mystic horizon]

The term " very weak way " is highly subjective

[knotty iron]

bruh just watch this video and see what im talking about

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkeKSlqgFk0

[dusky blade]

That only happens with chargebacks lol

[grizzled whale]

ive played on launch, no need for any video

[knotty iron]

ok then, enjoy your game what can i say 🙂

[dusky blade]

It really is, super open to Interpretation

I guess that’s another part that relies on ethical considerations, the guy behind the support wonders if it’s fair

[grizzled whale]

if you use your protection law to get said refund, it will be charged back from steam and they can still do the same

[knotty iron]

im not buying a 90 eur game that its a downgrade from previous bfs

[grizzled whale]

again, we arent talking about if i enjoy the game or not, we are talking about how refunds and protection laws work in this case

[dusky blade]

So I can get accounts locked for legally getting a refund?

[grizzled whale]

if it breaches the terms set by the seller you agreed to yes

[dusky blade]

I’m sure no term states “legal refunds allow access for account locks at any time at any stage”

I’m pretty darn sure of that

[knotty iron]

bruh you said again they delivered a working game which you dont enjoy, thats all. and im just replying to you how the game is unfinished and downgraded, we was talking about the game

[grizzled whale]

not in that way, but they have a policy you agree to, you violate that policy, they hold the right to restrict access to your account

[knotty iron]

but exceptions can be made

[dusky blade]

But if the support team is the one who allows the policy to be broken, what happens to them

[knotty iron]

i work in the same environment so

[grizzled whale]

the game runs, it does what it should, so its not a broken game, hence your protection law does not apply

[dusky blade]

They’re the ones I go through for the refund

[grizzled whale]

they can change terms as long as there is an agreement between both parties, you cant change terms without permission from both parties

[grand prism]

@grizzled whale hey skip- the fuck did i just walked into

[grizzled whale]

If the actual company gives you the refund willingly thats all good, but that has nothing to do with the customer protection law in your country

thats just a support worker being a good person

[knotty iron]

its your opinion bruh, then i said if you are happy with the game im happy for you

[grizzled whale]

its not an opinion, its a fact

[twin coral]

Let's chill out a bit guys

[grizzled whale]

you dont like what it does, thats different from it not doing what its supposed to be doing

[knotty iron]

ok no point arguing with you then

[grand prism]

@twin coral what's going on

[grizzled whale]

your average 2042 channel discussions

[knotty iron]

im sorry you did not manage to get your refund and now you are stuck with a game that need so many fixes

[grand prism]

Ah so the usual friday morning

[plush coyote]

[dusky blade]

I’m still shocked I got a refund

[knotty iron]

is 💩 , deal with it

[grizzled whale]

i dont want a refund, im enjoying it more than BF4, but again, thats not relevant to the discussion at all

[grizzled whale]

pretty much

[dim blade]

you know the game WW3?
It plays pretty well now but when it first came out it was so bad that it got a very bad rep, so even now its barely played

Same thing is happening to BF2042

[grand prism]

Same i enjoy more than both BF1 and BFV

[bold steppe]

a game which should not exist, even if they delayed it to 6 months more it still wud hv been shit because they dont test their games properly before releasing

[knotty iron]

why are you sticking with only 1 discussion lol, we make multiple discussions here, too hard multitasking?

[bold steppe]

u enjoying it more than bf4 lmao keep this lie to yourself

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-dont-think-i-will-captain-america-old-capt-gif-17162888

[knotty iron]

its like buying a car without the internals at full price

[knotty iron]

or at least a minimal amount of internals

[mystic horizon]

Um, not really...

[grizzled whale]

his comparisons dont make much sense

[bold steppe]

and saying it runs smoother and faster for me, but not for thousands of others who bought the same thing

[knotty iron]

people with 3090s have doubts about them gpus, but the fact is that bf2042 performance is so bad

[bold steppe]

its poorly optimized

[knotty iron]

leave them poor delusional kids that wasted moms money, and really trying hard to enjoy the game with tape on they're face to make them smile

[twin coral]

@knotty iron let's calm it down a bit here.

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru-DhX3ZTEU trailer vs reality (Battlefield 2042)

[grizzled whale]

i was about to say, no need for hostility

[knotty iron]

ok sorry boss

[hazy vector]

So a tesla right now?

[knotty iron]

haha

[hazy vector]

because they can't make several of the parts for it

[mystic horizon]

Nice

[arctic grove]

Are you talking about people will 3090s?

Most people have them for work or just have nothing else to spend it on

[mystic horizon]

No, only the 3070 crowd

[knotty iron]

nah, just people defending the game, i was saying that people with monster pcs have very low fps on the game in comparison i had a friend with a 1660 that got 30 more fps than a guy with a 30 series

[mystic horizon]

Game optimisation could be better... No arguments here

[bold steppe]

those defenders are part of the problem

[knotty iron]

i just tell them to go look at the mass reviews and see for themselves all the comments

its a bible

[twin coral]

Guys, let people enjoy things

[knotty iron]

im not saying they cant enjoy the game

[mystic horizon]

Agreed... To each, their own

[plush coyote]

[dusky blade]

Well I think it is undebatable that people supporting them are hurting themselves in the long run

[knotty iron]

there are different categories of players

[grizzled whale]

its very debatable

[twin coral]

You're doing a bit of both here

[arctic grove]

wdw

[dusky blade]

So you’re saying supporting getting no content is good

[arctic grove]

people supporting these disgusting scummy practices honestly deserve whatever ea does with them

[plush coyote]

this game with absolutly no content is awesome

oh and a mountain of other missing features

[grizzled whale]

who says im supporting getting no content?
Content is on the way, the game just needs to be in a better state to release the content, which is a very logical decision

[foggy crest]

imagine 128 cattles

[arctic grove]

content is on the way in 5 months

[bold steppe]

they're no different than that serial bullshitter andrew wilson who said they are ahead of schedule when they were 3 years behind, and now he says they gonna re engage the community and fix the issues which is another corporate lie

[arctic grove]

[foggy crest]

how many maps ?

[mystic horizon]

I'd rather big fixes over content... Instead of more buggy content

[arctic grove]

no one has a clue because ea and dice like being vague

[grizzled whale]

as it is, im enjoying the game more than i ever did previous BF games, so supporting this game hurts me how?

[knotty iron]

when did i say they cant enjoy the game they bought :D, its they re product they can do whatever they want, im just letting know that this game is a downgrade

[grizzled whale]

early summer could be 3-4 months,

[arctic grove]

supporting this game tells ea that these disgusting practices are working and that they shouldnt stop

that they can get away with shipping unfinished garbage

[dusky blade]

We know it’s probably early July

[grizzled whale]

supporting this game means nothing more than me enjoying it

[mystic horizon]

I'm digging the game... So, I've got my money's worth 🤘

[bold steppe]

so whatever they did with the game is acceptable to you, and you believe they will fix the game in 5 months and release it with new content?

[arctic grove]

who are you giving your money to?

look im not saying you shouldnt enjoy the game

[grizzled whale]

fuck ea and all their shady business practices, but i still enjoy the game none the less

[bold steppe]

i feel bad for you, but anyways have fun

[twin coral]

Only coming here to only talk about how much you dislike something is getting annoying after a while

[arctic grove]

then dont buy their games its that simple

[mystic horizon]

Cheers, means a lot

[arctic grove]

it means nothing to ea if you are enjoying the game

[plush coyote]

not really anything positive about the game to talk about

[arctic grove]

all they care about is your money

[rugged citrus]

rtx 3070 and just 65 fps on 1440p ultra

[foggy crest]

bro let him enjoy man 😂

[grizzled whale]

cpu issue

[rugged citrus]

i7-11800H, not a problem

[arctic grove]

i didnt tell him to not enjoy it

[knotty iron]

you can enjoy the game and support as much as you want but in the technical matter its a downgrade from previous battlefields like 1 and 5.

[bold steppe]

only coming here to support a fundamentally flawed and broken game is also annoying

[rugged citrus]

one of the highest end intel cpus you can buy

[arctic grove]

im just saying that his statement is an oxymoron

[foggy crest]

i told u this game optimization is bad

[knotty iron]

its part of the memes bro

[mystic horizon]

Like that matters to me... How EA feels, haha. I paid money, got something out of it... I'm good.

[bold steppe]

wow

[grizzled whale]

ha, no

[twin coral]

I get what you're saying, but would you go to a concert of a musician you dislike only to boo?

[grizzled whale]

my i5 has better performance

[foggy crest]

u cant stop anyone people will still preorder next BF games they enjoy it they will buy it

[arctic grove]

do you know what an oxymoron is

[bold steppe]

you paid money now you have to pretend you having fun so you wont get trolled for being scammed lol

[rugged citrus]

what i5 do you have

[obsidian sigil]

Why do you have the game on ultra with a 1440P monitor? You are not able to see the higher pixel texture size than 1440P lol

[grizzled whale]

12600k

[foggy crest]

explain me pls

[grizzled whale]

im not pretending, trust me

[knotty iron]

its a community server, we are not booing the game lol

[arctic grove]

obviously contradictory statements in a single sentence

[rugged citrus]

because on 1080p its literally like ps3 resolution on my monitor

[twin coral]

Coming here and spamming game bad don't buy only because you find it entertaining isn't very nice

[rugged citrus]

if you play on any resolution that is lower than your monitor native res it will look worse than it actually is because of the scaling

[arctic grove]

if you say that you dont support eas scummy business practices and yet you still buy their games then thats an oxymoron

[obsidian sigil]

Exactly, so keep it on high or very high, but Ultra is useless lol

[foggy crest]

dude all i want to say if u willl keep on being negative everytime they will mute u

[knotty iron]

im just informing ppl that the game is a downgrade full of issues and there are better battlefield that are cheaper and worth the money

[grizzled whale]

i hate what they do but i still enjoy their games, pre orders are the problem

[foggy crest]

oooooooooooof

[bold steppe]

its not the same situation here, i would go to cheer my favourite sports team and will boo if the chosen playing line up is so bad that it ruins that team performance completely.

[mystic horizon]

Not really, I actually like the game... And I wasn't scammed, lol. It's a game... That's all.

[rugged citrus]

yeah but remember i have a laptop cpu, also what gpu ya have

[grizzled whale]

2070s

[knotty iron]

damn, it IS getting HOT in here hahahahaha

[arctic grove]

its the honest truth

[rugged citrus]

dont buy 2042

[plush coyote]

you must be very easy to please...

[obsidian sigil]

It's because if you baby 👀

[rugged citrus]

even with my 3070 and a decently high end cpu it still sucks in performance

[grizzled whale]

100-120fps on 1080 high-ultra

[knotty iron]

if i what?

[obsidian sigil]

Of you* lol

[mystic horizon]

Yeah, I guess so... Or maybe I like something you don't?

[knotty iron]

hahah yeah im sexy

[foggy crest]

and its sad man

[knotty iron]

[obsidian sigil]

Hell yeah, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[rugged citrus]

for me on 1080 ultra i get about 130 or so, but i mostly play on 1440p because on my 1440p monitor 1080p looks garbage because of the scaling

[twin coral]

And you think that is behaviour worth emulating here?

[plush coyote]

oh i wouldve really liked it if i actually got a decent game like previous bf games

[knotty iron]

bruh bf1 has the most amazing graphics you can ask, on 1440p with ultra and with my 12 gb 3060 tuf gaming i get 120-140 fps

[bold steppe]

not many people like a hot pile of garbage for a game but i get it that exceptions are there

[rugged citrus]

im talking about bf2042, bf1 is amazing but bf2042 on 1080p with a 1440p monitor the scaling is terrible 1080p on my monitor feels like 480p

[bold steppe]

well people are frustrated and they just venting it all over social media, this place is no different, i dont know if its worth it but its just coming out naturally

[dim blade]

Can you set the render resolution scale in BF2042? Like display 1440p but render 1080p?

[knotty iron]

i know, in the other hand bf2042 i have 50-70 fps, sad flute music haha

[rugged citrus]

in bf2042 im forced to use 1440p or else i gotta live with terrible scaling

[knotty iron]

you can, no difference in performance lol

[dim blade]

damn

[knotty iron]

thats how bad the optimization is

[rugged citrus]

on 1440p ultra for my rtx 3070 and i7-11800h i get 70 fps

[knotty iron]

sad flute music

[rugged citrus]

i gotta renew my ea play so i can play the older bf games with actual frames

[knotty iron]

just buy them, they are very cheap

[grizzled whale]

welp, back to 2042, dying light 2 aint it

[knotty iron]

have fun bro

[mystic horizon]

I need to purchase a 2nd copy... Just to like this game twice as hard!

[knotty iron]

hahahahaha

[plush coyote]

[bold steppe]

pros of playing on a console, expectations arent higher than 60fps

[rugged citrus]

dont ya know i also love nfs 2015, nfs heat, nfs hot pursuit remastered, nfs hot pursuit, nfs shift unleashed, nfs shift 2 unleashed, if i buy all them games ill go bankrupt

[dim blade]

Im hoping Warzone 2 will be good, hopefully they will design the game in a way that the more skilled player wins, not the one with the fanciest laser gun

[knotty iron]

its like not enjoying 1 hooker, having too but still are hookers

[arctic grove]

i mean thats still how it works in warzone

[grizzled whale]

combat: clunky
parkour: clunky
movement: clunky
menu: clunky
too bad, had high hopes for Dying light 2

[twin coral]

Don't you agree that it's better to just not play the game and move on to something else then?

[arctic grove]

player with better aim wins but the game is plagued with other issues

[foggy crest]

people had high hopes for 2042 too

[dim blade]

but it doesnt have to work like that, its a stupid system that causes ppl that dont play COD that much to just leave the game

[grizzled whale]

imma destroy some lobbies with a G57

[bold steppe]

i agree totally

[arctic grove]

i personally am a fan of the gunplay but the game has some BIG issues

[rugged citrus]

bf2042 is the only bf game i have, i have bf3 too but no asian servers and its dead and the helis are op, i played all my other games with ea play which im planning to renew this weekend

[arctic grove]

buy bfv

[bold steppe]

play BFV on ea play its good

[grizzled whale]

BF3 has like <50 players at all times

[knotty iron]

DAAAMN i had high hopes, i was praising the game so much before release inviting all my friends, and after that i learned to never have high hopes

[arctic grove]

trust me its so good and makes 2042 look like a chinese f2p bf ripoff

[dim blade]

I liked Warzone pre Black ops Cold War era, it just felt better

[knotty iron]

bro, buy bf1 trust me, you are gonna have so much fun

[arctic grove]

its honestly astounding how big the quality difference is

[knotty iron]

the only thing that is missing from previous battlefields are anticheats

[arctic grove]

warzone has only gone downhill since the cold war integration

[grizzled whale]

if BFv was a modern game id buy it

[arctic grove]

i also quite liked it before cold war

[foggy crest]

exactly same man wooow 😂 i seriously annnoyed my friends that watch this trailer watch this screenshots , watch this leaked alpha , watch this tweet , insta post

[desert elbow]

It’s a shame, Battlefield graphics have always been downgraded since the trailers since bf3

[rugged citrus]

everyone angry on the game due to the cringelines but play on breakthrough with bots and you will hear stuff like "WE SHOULDNT BE HERE!" and "WE ALL ARE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEE!"

[grizzled whale]

world war shooters are just bad imo

[knotty iron]

i mean bf1 and bfV graphics are amazing

[arctic grove]

yea lets just pretend bf1 got downgraded from the trailers

[rugged citrus]

sad its only in the bots

[foggy crest]

never say this when zzzy is online

[desert elbow]

Yeah they look amazing but they were still downgraded

[grizzled whale]

ive pinged him and said that

[arctic grove]

they werent

bf1 looks and plays EXACTLY like the trailers

[knotty iron]

you watched the angry review of bf2042 video right?

[desert elbow]

Bf1’s were the closest to the trailers imo but they were downgraded just after launch, google it

[arctic grove]

if so then that downgrade is so slight that no one even noticed it

[foggy crest]

i have watched angry review of vanguard too and actman's video on vanguard too its funny 🤣

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_vBMbi7qSQ , i feel the same rage as his, worth to watch to full extent

[arctic grove]

because i havent seen anybody complain about bf1s graphics being downgraded

[desert elbow]

There was tons of controversy about it

[arctic grove]

not like bf1 had shit graphics at launch

[foggy crest]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahahahah that first second is sooooo funny

[arctic grove]

it almost looked photorealistic at times

[desert elbow]

People definitely complained

[knotty iron]

battlefield 2042 hovercraft simulator

[foggy crest]

i have watched it man

[knotty iron]

haha the first moments of him watching down the camera, so full of disappointment

[hazy vector]

If you really want to cause a stir, mention hardline being a shitty spinoff

https://youtu.be/F9neNqGM12s
this video took the words of my mouth and it hits every single note

[rugged citrus]

if u thought bf2042 was bad see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyDBCowbKJs&t=294s&ab_channel=AngryJoeShow

[foggy crest]

🤣 his cyberpuunk video was also funny and dunkey's cyberpunk video 😂

[desert elbow]

https://youtu.be/DCdsn66MYP8

You’re right though, the graphics were still amazing

[arctic grove]

vanguard got a better score than 2042 btw because joe also gave 2042 a 4/10 out of GENEROSITY

[rugged citrus]

atleast in vanguard i dont rot to death playing the same 4v4 shotgun rush with the most unrealistic movement

[arctic grove]

just because battlefield held a special place in his heart

[foggy crest]

EA DICE SLAPS 👀

[arctic grove]

i mean in vanguard you dont spend 60% of your playtime running around on the pubg sized maps right?

[foggy crest]

🤣 👍

[desert elbow]

Sounds like bf4 to me

[arctic grove]

bf4s maps were fine size wise

[foggy crest]

empty maps

[rugged citrus]

ahem vehicle callins

[desert elbow]

Altai Range cough

[candid cosmos]

so when do you guys think 2042 is gonna pass bf5 in monthly players

[arctic grove]

im sure there were some outliers but its no where near the same as 2042

[desert elbow]

Different gameplay focus

[rugged citrus]

cod vanguard feels like garbage, 2042 was fun for the free weekend when i was playing, cod vanguard was terrible even for the 2 day free weekend for me

[hazy vector]

never, unless BF5 drops down low enough

[candid cosmos]

im betting when they drop the season

[foggy crest]

i never said it but now i will say it BATTLEFIELD entire FRANCHISE IS GARBAGE

[rugged citrus]

like bruh i play mw2019 i loved it, i got a mw2019 cod ww2 hybrid in vanguard with a hilarious amount of bugs and disgusting movement worse than mw2019 with the ttk being 0.1 yoctosecond

[desert elbow]

Ay chillllll

[foggy crest]

see it cod has good games

[arctic grove]

when i hopped back on 2042 during the free weekend just to see if anythings changed, it just got worse and it reaffirmed my decision to not buy this game again

[rugged citrus]

bf also has the best ones like bf1 and bf4

[foggy crest]

i am chill actually tbh

[dim blade]

maybe around summer? Season 1

[foggy crest]

played BF1 garbage gunplay

[arctic grove]

maybe for like a few days

[rugged citrus]

pretty sure your used to cod's ttk

[candid cosmos]

cod never felt the same when they released advance warfare

[desert elbow]

The gunplay is fine casually

[arctic grove]

but i highly doubt 2042 will sustain more than 2k players on steam by the time season 1 drops

[rugged citrus]

bf1's ttk was a little slow, bf4 perfected it

[dim blade]

MW19 was one of the best CODs of recent time

[arctic grove]

its already on life support

[knotty iron]

at least vanguard was optimized

[dim blade]

So good that Vanguard is pretty much a reskin of MW19

[foggy crest]

u can have your opinion i can have mine because i am saying by my experience

[desert elbow]

Eh it definitely has potential to get its launch player count back

[desert elbow]

Fair enough

[rugged citrus]

optimised? i dont care about that when i get bored of b-hopping airplanes with insta kill 5000 rpm smgs on 5 meter maps

[dim blade]

100k? Doubt it

[foggy crest]

[arctic grove]

while i do agree that mw19 undoubtedly has the best gunplay, movement and graphics in the series but the maps are the worst in cod history

[desert elbow]

Battlefront 2 managed it

[knotty iron]

i mean i like to play with high fps too haha

[dim blade]

I disagree, i like the maps, deviated from the typical 3 lane copy n paste that other CODs had

[foggy crest]

it is wayyyyyyyyyy more optimised than 2042

[arctic grove]

it allowed campers to flourish like never before and the visibility made the game shit

not to mention the stupid doors

[rugged citrus]

still doesnt change the visibility problems, ttk, movement, BUGS BUGS BUGS

[foggy crest]

dude that guy in that video is seriously mad man i dont care about anyone but just for him only for him this game must become good

[desert elbow]

If the visibility was made better the graphics would be worse, doors were awesome in mw2019 imo

[arctic grove]

im just as enraged as he is

[desert elbow]

Changed the pace

[arctic grove]

its honestly beyond sickening and disgusting at this point

[rugged citrus]

even bocw > vanguard

[candid cosmos]

i highly doubt bf2042 is gonna live past 2022

[rugged citrus]

vanguard is the worst cod ever, the vanguard defenders are the only reason cod is alive right now

[foggy crest]

visiblity is ok i cant see players in BF1 tooo m movement is best and bugs hmmmmm BF players should not even talk about it

[arctic grove]

visibility is kinda shit on bfv too because the player models blend in so well

you have to look really closely at times

[rugged citrus]

wait? DO YOU KNOW WHAT 3D SPOTTING IS

[foggy crest]

BF V TAA is soooooo bad

[desert elbow]

They fixed that by adding player lighting later on

[rugged citrus]

if you dont know 3d spotting dont play bf

[arctic grove]

its still bad

[foggy crest]

do u know the map devastation blue map

[arctic grove]

its better than launch but still bad

[rugged citrus]

i didnt play bfv much

[foggy crest]

🤣

[arctic grove]

thank god you can disable it if you got an nvidia card

[rugged citrus]

i played it a little bit but back then my pc was shit it had a 1050 ti couldnt run the game at all

[arctic grove]

its insane how well bfv runs

[desert elbow]

They use photogrammetry in Battlefield too, even in 2042

[foggy crest]

really ?

[arctic grove]

if they did in 2042 then its an absolute fucking joke

[rugged citrus]

wow its so funny, on my 1050 ti i7-8750h old laptop i got 50 FPS ON 720P AT LOW

[arctic grove]

I’m convinced that if they reskinned bfv it would’ve sold better than the current

[desert elbow]

…that’s not how photogrammetry works lmao

You can’t have bad photogrammetry

[arctic grove]

you are telling me that 2042s environments look as good as bf1s?

[rugged citrus]

breakaway's photogrammetry is terrible but i cant blame them because due to the pandemic and common sense they wouldnt go to antarctica to set up observations

[arctic grove]

are you high?

i doubt this game uses photogrammetry

[desert elbow]

The vegetation is a huge step up, tessellation and lighting was downgraded a bunch though

[arctic grove]

and even if it does its awful

[desert elbow]

It does though

[dim blade]

screw these covid regulations, let it be busniess as usual until everyone on earth has antibodies, the weak ones die, survival of the fittest

[arctic grove]

do you have any source?

[dim blade]

Ok maybe a touch too far XD

[desert elbow]

Breakaway’s graphics are amazing imo

[arctic grove]

the ice looks like a plain white texture slapped on a slab of concrete

[desert elbow]

Something about it just looks so real, I think it’s the colour grading

[rugged citrus]

yeah, but i doubt they use photogrammetry even without breakaway is one of my favorite looking maps in ALL OF BF HISTORY

[halcyon fjord]

Is this battlefield 5 server?

[desert elbow]

Yeah, that’s snow boss

[arctic grove]

They should buy a u-2 or blackbird and get high res images

[rugged citrus]

wouldnt that cost more than EA's net worth?

[arctic grove]

probably

Lemme look it up

[grizzled whale]

you underestimate how high that net worth is

[rugged citrus]

ea said bf makes only 10% of their green paper, less money = less priority so i doubt they'd get a drone or a jet just for photogrammetry on a map

[halcyon fjord]

Does battlefield 5 still have firestorm mode?

[arctic grove]

No they have enough

[desert elbow]

Yeah but there aren’t many servers

[arctic grove]

with 10% it’s 1b, so that’s 30 blackbirds

[grizzled whale]

and only like 10 people playing

[topaz solar]

Hate the night bird in this fucking game

[rugged citrus]

still, ea's priority is on who makes more money

[topaz solar]

Always vehicle campers and shit lol

[grizzled whale]

a "new" blackbird would cost around 250 million

[knotty iron]

i just discovered that santa was invented by cocacola

[rugged citrus]

they wouldnt buy a recon plane for photogrammetry on some puny insignificant franchise they dont care abiut

[arctic grove]

They probably have secretly built the next generation so they don’t need the old ones!

[pseudo depot]

hello

[desert elbow]

Nah coke didn’t invent them, they were just the people who first associated him with the red outfit I believe, I might be wrong though

[arctic grove]

also fun fact, none have been shot down on missions but over 1/3 have been broken in excercises

[knotty iron]

hi, xieee xuao piao piao

[halcyon fjord]

Oh

[grizzled whale]

by now we probably have orbital cannons on mars, no need for blackbirds

[pseudo depot]

how are you all?

[arctic grove]

Who knows what the US is doing with its military budget

[foggy crest]

wowww i am drinking coca cola

[knotty iron]

thats a fact

[dusky blade]

I’m drinking up and go :)

[rugged citrus]

thats a fact is a fact

[foggy crest]

thanks to all the santas out there

[desert elbow]

I’m doing pretty good thanks, yourself?

[pseudo depot]

NO

[knotty iron]

[arctic grove]

but china will overtake the us soon

[foggy crest]

no denying that man

[grizzled whale]

get ultra green, its god tier

[arctic grove]

the us are gearing up to invade china prob

[pseudo depot]

i'm not good at English.

[arctic grove]

They won’t win

you certainly dont give that impression

china have hypersonic missiles capable of Mach 5

[knotty iron]

have you heard of google translate?

[pseudo depot]

i'm eating rice.

[knotty iron]

welcome to the rice fields mf

[pseudo depot]

yes

[arctic grove]

the us probably do as well but its all in secret

[foggy crest]

this message will get deleted but on FEB 3 ISIS leader got killed by US special operation commandos in syria

[grizzled whale]

Scared fortunate son noises

[arctic grove]

thats true

[arctic grove]

Wouldn’t really make sense to keep it a secret, if the Chinese think they can destroy the us without getting nuked back they will

[knotty iron]

i was sooo hyped when the trailers came out for bf2042, its literally my first ever preorder

[arctic grove]

i think we should start talking about 2042 again before some mod comes in and mutes all our asses

[foggy crest]

i am sad for all those rice that got destroyed in vietnam war

[arctic grove]

i dont think the us and china will necessarily go directly to war

[foggy crest]

mods can airstrike

[arctic grove]

Probably another Cold War

it will be proxy wars

[grizzled whale]

they wont, it will be nukes flying

[arctic grove]

And rice farmers

[foggy crest]

sad man

war is just sad

[arctic grove]

The us couldn’t cope with the guerilla tactics so they just decided to destroy every village

[shy bronze]

You’re all acting as if you’re a military advisor. Yikes.

[arctic grove]

what if i said i am?

[shy bronze]

What’s your EO then

[arctic grove]

Im not in the military but I will be joining after uni

It’s just a general interest I have, I’m aware I only have surface knowledge

what the fuck is an eo

[arctic grove]

But if we were in the military we wouldn’t know about americas tactics/secrets would we

[halcyon fjord]

Battlefield 5 still worth in 2022?

[arctic grove]

Which is sorta what we were talking about

[bold steppe]

[torpid vortex]

when you find out God is really like a morally invested Les Grossman saying let the nukes pop off 1 at a time slow like a whole lot less shit than just a conventional deployment who really wants smoke though but acting like they really want smoke they should get it

Not really you’re just a poser

[arctic grove]

[grizzled whale]

that would be MSID

[arctic grove]

Are you American?

micro-star international designation?

[shy bronze]

@grizzled whale MSI is military service ID.

[arctic grove]

no real military personal refers to people in public as "civi"

australians do because their world is upside down

you know whats ironic about dice

[knotty iron]

this is just how it works sometimes

[shy bronze]

Dice should be kicked from EA, the bulk of their money comes from other means

[grizzled whale]

ive never met someone whos actually in the military that feels the need to flex with it, people who do often arent actual military

[shy bronze]

Where the fuck did I flex?

[knotty iron]

ive played airsoft with military veterans

[shy bronze]

That I said my EO?

[arctic grove]

dice stands for digital illusions ce

the evidence has been there from the very beginning

[arctic grove]

I played paintball with my uncle and he demolished me

[knotty iron]

i have airsoft clips on my channel, taba99 if anyone is interested to watch quality content 🙂

[still vault]

Luckily, being in the military or not is not really that relevant for ones ability to play 2042

[foggy crest]

👀

[knotty iron]

i demolish many ppl

[arctic grove]

noooooo!!!! dude you have to be in the military to be able to play 2042!!! how else would you enjoy the guns when they go pewpew and all the strategy!!!

/s

[foggy crest]

and rendezook

[shy bronze]

Then don’t claim to be a military advisor when you’re some random

[arctic grove]

you need to be a real member of the air force to be able to pilot the planes/jets in bf

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/ironic-star-wars-chode-gif-5274592

[arctic grove]

I have lots of respect for people in the military but not for people who think it makes them better than everyone else

[arctic grove]

who would ever believe im a military advisor anyways

[shy bronze]

I’m a corporal? What of it?

Do you want my hash as well?

[knotty iron]

there was a popular video of a airsoft game in america 2 dudes came up to a guy saying ''you want to fuck with 2 guys from the military right now?''

[foggy crest]

imagine if this was the eligibility for BF games

[knotty iron]

no shame

[still vault]

Ok lets just drop the whole personal military employment discussion. If you want to continue it do it in PMs.

I am not anti-fun. But I don't think 2 people arguing about personal employment details is fun.
I do however tend to keep my fun somewhat relevant to the channels, so 2042 fun here, general fun in the #general channel and ofc. cursed cat fun in #877847689088335893

i put my real name in those first and last name boxes though like on steam or sth

not like its public anyways

[rugged citrus]

i only put my quick nickname i thought that was personal info

[arctic grove]

you know what scared me once

while playing bfv i was shitting on the other team

and then some guy on the other team called me out by my real name

I once played bfv whilst shitting

no like actually my real name

[dim blade]

the correct reaction is: I already knew that, silly

[knotty iron]

your details are not that personal, there is always a way, but there is no point of someone tracking you down, only to scare you, if you are no someone rich

[arctic grove]

i went onto origin and my ea acc settings to check if i accidentally made my name public or sth

the correct reaction is to give him your address so he can come and play chess

and it was private so idk

was just really bizarre

[dim blade]

Tracked IP, got geolocation, maybe name was attached

[knotty iron]

go watch cod bo2 african warlord, old videos of him tracking down and scaring ppl

[dim blade]

oh i remember those vids lol, good times

[arctic grove]

im pretty sure ips dont have real names attached to them (unless i spaced out during informatics class)

[knotty iron]

yes, good times

[dim blade]

No but your geotag might have, geotag which you can get with IP

[arctic grove]

you learn something new everyday

[knotty iron]

i mean i dont care if someone tracks me down, whats the point, i would be like, yeah please come see me, i need friends hahaha

[arctic grove]

i mean i dont see the point either

[knotty iron]

im not rich

[arctic grove]

im just a normal middle class guy

[knotty iron]

thats why the only purpose of tracking a normal person is to troll them scare them

[dim blade]

One thing is to track someone, its a whole another thing to actually go there in person lol

[knotty iron]

so you cant shittalk them

[arctic grove]

he cant track my real location though just through ip geolocation lmfao

geolocation is just an approximation

[dim blade]

Yeah well if someone said your name, state or province and possibly even your street name it would still be prett yscary

[knotty iron]

yeah but the point was i dont really care if he says my personal info, i would say wanna be friends?

[arctic grove]

i would honestly be kinda scared

if someone went THAT far

[knotty iron]

bruh, i had sleep paralisys 2 days ago for the first time

[arctic grove]

i would lose my shit if someone said my real address in game chat

[rugged citrus]

how is my new EA name: ItsShaunBeWarned

[arctic grove]

and real name to go along with it

[rugged citrus]

yeah i know pretty cheesy

[knotty iron]

i wasnt that scared in fact it was interesting, a thief like figure outside my room door started banging the door, in 20 seconds it was over, i wanted it to last longer hahaa

[still vault]

Just to point out the obvious. Disclosing other peoples personal information on here is not allowed 😉

[arctic grove]

what the fuck

how

[knotty iron]

i could not move but was conscious, its called sleep paralisys

hallucinations

[arctic grove]

muted

[dim blade]

shit

[arctic grove]

i thought that was real for a sec

[dim blade]

He is onto me, i gotta approach this with stealth

[arctic grove]

He was getting probed

today i also kept hearing weird noises at like 4 am

[rugged citrus]

i was once playing MC on my SMP forgetting i installed a chat plugin that allows you to chat with other servers using the plugin and i freaked out when i was alone and someone said "sup" in the chat

[knotty iron]

nono, sleep paralisys is real, and for some ppl is very scary

[arctic grove]

and i had just woken up from a bad dream

[rugged citrus]

had it once, very traumatizing

[knotty iron]

but i dont get scared easily

[arctic grove]

i dont recall having sleep paralysis in recent memory

[knotty iron]

it was interesting for me

[arctic grove]

but i do recall having lucid dreams

or at least dreams i can actually control to some degree

It's just because your brain turns your body off when you sleep and it's possible to wake up without your brain flipping the switch back

[dim blade]

idk why but my scariest experience was being in the woods at night with just a flashlight for illumination, and then a tree branch fell

[arctic grove]

i would just fucking run lmao

i hate walking around in the park at night

i always look behind me out of paranoia

[dim blade]

it jolted me a bit but i didnt really get that scared

[arctic grove]

i dont look like it irl but im someone who is scared of the dark to the point of paranoia

like when i open the house door at night i fucking run into the house

and try to close the door as quickly as possible

[knotty iron]

i have plenty of lucid dreams that i got bored of it

[arctic grove]

i think one lucid dream i had was about time travelling

[knotty iron]

i wanted to experience something new, and i had sleep paralisys for the first time

[arctic grove]

where i travelled back in time to when my grandpa passed away

[knotty iron]

they say sleep paralisys is a shortcut to lucid dreams if manipulated in some way

[rugged citrus]

MEDIC

[knotty iron]

we are getting in some deep shit here hahaha

[arctic grove]

and then i got to uncover how he died (apparently)

and then my friends got the jist of it and then also started disrupting time lines which ultimately resulted in a paradox

[rugged citrus]

dont remind me of my grandpa please lets not talk about it

[arctic grove]

fancy shit actually

[knotty iron]

[arctic grove]

i felt kinda responsible at the end of the dream though creating all these paradoxes and messing up the timeline

[halcyon fjord]

Is Bf 2042 going to be free?

I seen somewhere

[knotty iron]

unsure

[arctic grove]

this lucid dream sounds eerily familiar to steins gate lol

was my brain telling me to start watching steins gate

[knotty iron]

you guys like airsoft?

[arctic grove]

laser tag is fun

[torpid vortex]

Sleep paralysis is like 2/10 I was in a lightning storm, that was heating me up, then it was in my living room, through a wall outlet, I could hear it around the corner because I was taking cover lol sounded like buzzzzzzzzz couldn't even peak at it my room was like blacklit. Won't scare me again though I'm ready

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOk0dI396BE&t=25s this is my best pistol killstreak ever, it was fun

[arctic grove]

i remember the first time i played laser tag it was with quite heavy guns

and with sights and stuff

[knotty iron]

for some ppl is scary for some like me was interesting

[knotty iron]

airsoft is more realistic

[arctic grove]

was reaaaally damn cool especially considering i was playing a lot of bf at the time

was in 6th grade

[tribal terrace]

anyone else seeing a creepy ass man in sleep paralys?

[grave linden]

Nowadays I'd rather go to 6th grade then play bf2042

[knotty iron]

i caught 2 cheaters on that video of the opposite team

[arctic grove]

fun times

[knotty iron]

i shot one guy on his small jhonson, and he did not call it

[arctic grove]

elementary school was quite fun

[rugged citrus]

you guys still in elementary? hell you need to be atleast middle to play BF

[knotty iron]

he said when he was

[rugged citrus]

oh ok

[knotty iron]

im working from home, and playing games in the meantime chatting in discord lol

some say cocacola invented santa, but i think they kidnapped him to make only the sponsors

[rugged citrus]

coca cola didnt make up santa, they just popularized him and gave him his white beard and red dress

[knotty iron]

he was actually a convicted old man haha jk

[arctic grove]

He got hooked on Coca Cola when it had cocaine in it

[knotty iron]

hahah

[arctic grove]

im studying from home because school burned down (not a joke)

[knotty iron]

damn

[arctic grove]

some dude thought arson was funny

funny enough not a single news outlet here covered it

[knotty iron]

yeah but its inappropriate here

[arctic grove]

in this channel?

[knotty iron]

in general

[dusky blade]

Eh

Discussing a topic shouldn’t be considered inappropriate

[knotty iron]

i mean what i wanted to say its depressing

can be avoided lol

negative and depressing stuff

[arctic grove]

it happened during the holidays though

so no one was there

[knotty iron]

thats good to know

[arctic grove]

thank god it didnt happen during prime time

[knotty iron]

that needed to be clarified

damn, i want a black panter as a pet

in russia they have bears and panters like wtf

[rotund cloak]

u watch too many movies, they probably dont

[grizzled whale]

i want an ironman as a pet

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2yds1veuBE whats this then 😄

[foggy crest]

U want head pats ?

[rotund cloak]

i can bet there is video of american who has tiger pet

[knotty iron]

black panter is cooler than tiger

its like a bit cat but not that big like a tiger

[rotund cloak]

how u are saying it is like every single russian has black panter as pet

[knotty iron]

they are crazy you know

[rotund cloak]

no they aint, they are just normal ppl just like u and me

[knotty iron]

im ironic

[foggy crest]

Exactly memes making people go crazy

[rotund cloak]

mostly media, memes are just sarcasm and everyone knows that

[knotty iron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luo3KfObpfs Grizzly bear becomes man’s best friend, comforts and hugs him

[foggy crest]

I wish I can send you an image of a cute bear

But I can't no rights

[rotund cloak]

u should buy it as nft

[knotty iron]

you have a bear fetish?

[rotund cloak]

and than u will have rights

[foggy crest]

Huhhh

Who hates bear

😔

[rotund cloak]

i do

[foggy crest]

I know you love bear

[knotty iron]

i do not hate them but they are so deadly, rip you apart

[echo hill]

2042 ACTIVE PLAYERS L

[knotty iron]

how many are there, 2000 active?

[foggy crest]

Yeah I don't think a bear will kill me I am sooooooooo skinny

[echo hill]

probably idk, haven’t touched the game in months

[knotty iron]

bones are good too

[foggy crest]

🥲

[echo hill]

It’s poo poo, rather shit myself in public than stoop down. I’d say I’ll wait till it gets good but there’s no new content until summer 🤡

[knotty iron]

im 15 kg overweight so he will be peeling my flesh for a bit

[echo hill]

I feel like an idiot for buying

[knotty iron]

how much

[rotund cloak]

try refund

[knotty iron]

if you got it from steam try refunds

[echo hill]

lol no, played too much at the start, tried so hard to like it

[knotty iron]

how many hours do you have played, you know steam can make exception for battlefield 2042 right?

[rotund cloak]

i liked it for a bit, than i got bored

[echo hill]

like 200 or something

it’s way over

[rotund cloak]

it is what it is, sometimes u get got

[echo hill]

Should have just burnt my money instead

[knotty iron]

shouldve request it sooner, i got my refund 90 eur after release, played the early access

[solid cave]

dont be sad, this how things work out sometime

[knotty iron]

if you cant get refund just try to enjoy the game then

[lilac plinth]

How many players on line from PC-ps5-xbox?

[dusky blade]

Lmfao

[knotty iron]

:D, no thats not how it works sometimes 4fun4fun

[echo hill]

2042 🤡🤡🤡

[dusky blade]

This is just how things work out sometimes

[knotty iron]

yeah, good that you deleted the message

[rotund cloak]

how can u enjoy somthing if u dont enjoy it, dont force urself to enjoy somthing, if its not fun now it wont be fun even next time u play it

[knotty iron]

i mean if he has the game and cant get his money back, he should try to enjoy, or he cant just dont play it

[rotund cloak]

thats 60gbs of free space for any other game that he might enjoy more

[knotty iron]

just uninstall lol

is it 60gb? wasnt it 80?

[rotund cloak]

no idea

48gbs

[still vault]

Probably varies depending on PC client of platform

[solid cave]

Just think you will not preorder any games in the future. Lesson learned with a 100USD

[rotund cloak]

why would u ever pre order even if game was good

[solid cave]

I guess the sole appeal of preordering is for the sweaty peoples that wants to rank up fast before anyone

[lost bloom]

I launched bf2042 first time and I deployed to a area control match, was it with real players ? newbies? cause it was easy to gain , and we won US 162 something vs RU 0

[bold steppe]

or you just maybe pre ordered the worst game of all time, would have been better if pre ordered elden ring, horizon west or gran turismo 7

[rotund cloak]

dont pre order anything

[bold steppe]

or waited for bf2042 reviews before buying it maybe since the reputation of EA is always being shady like this

[solid cave]

why taking the risk of preordering something with no guarantee of being good

[rotund cloak]

why would u pre order elden ring

[bold steppe]

but yes dont pre order anything to be safe

[solid cave]

unless they have amazing collector edition or something

most of preorder contents are worthless anyway... litterally no point

[bold steppe]

because its developers are from software and they care about their game as well as customers and they test their games heavily before releasing and have a legacy of releasing polished bugfree games, also i ordered an edition with official tshirt

[still vault]

Rarely see a collector edition that is worth it. If the game is worth it to go get knickknacks you can get more and often better things for your money after the game is out.

[rotund cloak]

so u just trust company, but have u played it or know anyone who played it, also d2 sucked so yea

[bold steppe]

yeah they put out close network test playable for hours by everyone

there are tons of gameplay videos of it on youtube and everyone has but good things only to say about that game

[rotund cloak]

never trust companys

[bold steppe]

ds2 was not as good as ds1 ds3 sekiro or bloodborne or DeS,

[bold steppe]

credit must be given where its due

[solid cave]

There was this idea I think in the past of contributing/donating to the developer by preordering it

[empty bloom]

that’s one bad game weeb

[arctic grove]

[solid cave]

but now that it became a multi-billion mainstream industry that sorely focus on profit. Frankly it is disgusting how they try to monetize things like beta tests and so on...

[rotund cloak]

what

[bold steppe]

it was against bots

[solid cave]

video game industry is dead and anything coming out of it is not worth my time

[rotund cloak]

no its not, its more alive than ever tbh, having bad games is part of it, not everything can be good

[bold steppe]

lol what?

[bold steppe]

this is the most rapidly growing industry,

[solid cave]

for the kind of games I appreciate, it's very dead

[bold steppe]

what do you appreciate?

[rotund cloak]

what kinda of games

[solid cave]

realistic games in FPS, TPS, RTS format

[bold steppe]

try insurgency sandstorm, world war 3, ready or not for FPS

[rotund cloak]

rts kinda dead tbh

but still u have some out there from AA devs

and with microsoft owning blizzard now u might even get starcraft

they aint shy of rts, aoe4 is proof of it

and isnt new warhammer game coming out

[solid cave]

I really miss games such as Battlestation pacific

BFs before BF5

Older Sims games
