Come on, a whole new Battlefield game dropped. What, no discussion? Am I going to have to make a Symthic account or something?
Anyway, I'm mostly liking it. Trying to learn choppers better than I have in previous games. It's been a tough process so far.
Heist is lots of fun. Conquest is kinda meh. I'm enjoying the no respawn modes.
Sharing PS4 stuff is a little more tedious than Xbox One, but here's a couple of clips.
A round of Rescue, clearly I have a future in professional CSGO with my epic skills:
YOLO final spawn in a round of Heist:

I am in doubt whether to buy it, at first for the single player right now (have very limited access to internet at this time), and maybe later for some multi-player as well. Is it worth to buy it for the single-player alone? There are not that many FPS games on the horizon for PS4, so I thought why the hell not.

Atrocious maps, reminds me of MW3. 24/7, 360 degree paranoia, because you never know where you're gonna get shot from. They decided it would be a good idea to put as much pointless geometry everywhere so in buildings you can't even be sure there's someone in front of you. Guns have laughably bad balance, but welcome to every FPS game these days. Still, having a gun with 1200rpm and 3HK, even if it's only at close range, is really stupid, even for bad devs. K10 is basically like running around with SoH akimbo FMGs in this game.

Does it make me a bad person if I want this game to flop?
The premise of being a cop mowing down American citizens puts a sour taste in my mouth.

These guys are stealing cigars and selling loose cigarettes. Reaching for their registrations and stuff. Horrible things. They totally deserve it.

The single player isn't doing much for me, but I only played the prologue and first episode. Way too much sitting around waiting for in game 'interactive' cut-scenes to stop, way too little gunning down baddies. But if you want more of a stealth game, maybe it's your thing.
As for the recent controversies about police and deadly force, I think it's a pretty silly thing to worry about in the context of a video game. Especially if you play games where you end up on the russian team and gleefully gun down US service members. It's cops and robbers for christ's sake. Just shoot people, it's not real life.
I agree that buildings can be tough to clear, and it's hard to see people. But that doesn't seem new to BF to me, the nature of the spawn system means one person can flank you and conjure an entire squad out of thin air.
As for weapon balance, meh, I think a dominant close range SMG is a good idea. Tough break to you if you want to win CQB with an AR. Shotguns feel nerfed since the beta to me, to where they're useless though.
This game is no Titanfall, but surely it's a better time than Advanced Warfare.

There's police SUVs with mounted miniguns in this game. I'm starting to think this is a satire done too well.

Had some fun in the Alpha and Beta, but no purchase right now for me. BF4 scratches that battlefield itch. Hardline still seems like an expansion to me, rather than a full-fledged $60 game.

It's like Visceral had all these good ideas in making a solid interesting cops and crooks FPS, but had to throw them all out the window once they realized they had to make a Battlefield title. If it somehow does well, it'll probably be because it sold well on the consoles. Visceral might even get to stay to work on another game at that point.

Shotguns are super nerfed, as well as choppers main gun. They are both shooting #8 bird shot.
