I pre-ordered Battlefield 5, or V if you want to run along with the stupid roman numeral idea, right after the alpha testing. It was very strange to do that so early because the last game I pre-ordered was BF4 and that was a total disaster after release day and I never pre-ordered a Battlefield game before or since. Though the alpha had it’s flaws I saw so much more in this Battlefield game that I haven’t seen in a long, long time.
Battlefield Hardline has now been out for just over three months. It was released March 17th, 2015 and was a game that I thought was a bit fun and enjoyable, but was not something I was going to pick up because it did not have that perfect feeling in the beta that I said had to be there for me to purchase. Being burned on the issues with the Frostbite engine three times already, I decided to wait. In that three month time period a patch has been released as well as the first DLC, that is except for on PC due to issues. The game has gone on sale two times that I know of and the last time was at the price point that I said would be reasonable, which is $30. I did not pick it up, however, due to one thing….player count. (more…)
