    hello guys and gals me mudar and uh you
  • 00:00:03
    know ladies and gentlemen EA Games
  • 00:00:05
    challenge everything that was a slogan I
  • 00:00:07
    remember back in like every PlayStation
  • 00:00:10
    2 game that I was kind of digging into
  • 00:00:11
    and for a while you know I will just say
  • 00:00:13
    it like so you know when I was making
  • 00:00:15
    the Ubisoft video there's always one
  • 00:00:17
    game people remember from some of these
  • 00:00:19
    big monolith Pro Publishers and you know
  • 00:00:22
    nowadays it's kind of easy to rag on
  • 00:00:24
    them because of literally them straight
  • 00:00:26
    up not liking gamers in a lot of cases
  • 00:00:29
    uh the other I was reading some insane
  • 00:00:31
    [ __ ] about Dragon Age apparently EA
  • 00:00:33
    thought that the Dragon Age Veil guard
  • 00:00:35
    dog poo that they released would have
  • 00:00:37
    done better if somehow it was a live
  • 00:00:40
    service game so according to an earnings
  • 00:00:42
    call right where they were talking about
  • 00:00:44
    why they didn't do so [ __ ] well
  • 00:00:46
    quarter 3 was not the financial
  • 00:00:48
    performance we wanted or expected we
  • 00:00:51
    know as a leader in global entertainment
  • 00:00:54
    great titles even when built and
  • 00:00:56
    delivered with polished execution can
  • 00:00:58
    sometime miss our financial expectations
  • 00:01:01
    maybe it's because you have your
  • 00:01:02
    expectations like that of square enex
  • 00:01:05
    where it's like yeah we're not making
  • 00:01:07
    like billions I guess or something uh I
  • 00:01:10
    guess that IP is just a failure yeah
  • 00:01:13
    Sleeping Dogs Wait you tell me that
  • 00:01:15
    doesn't sell as much as Final Fantasy oh
  • 00:01:17
    man we got to we got to accit DSX isn't
  • 00:01:21
    as popular as Final Fantasy clearly it's
  • 00:01:24
    an irrelevant franchise just throw it
  • 00:01:25
    out into the mix never make it
  • 00:01:28
    again godam damn do I hate AAA gaming
  • 00:01:31
    sometimes in order to break beyond the
  • 00:01:34
    core audience games need to directly
  • 00:01:36
    connect to the evolving demands of
  • 00:01:38
    players who increasingly seek shared
  • 00:01:40
    World features and deeper engagement
  • 00:01:43
    alongside highquality narratives in this
  • 00:01:45
    beloved category so it was this quote
  • 00:01:48
    that a lot of people were wondering whoa
  • 00:01:50
    what do you mean shared World features
  • 00:01:53
    that equates to life service experiences
  • 00:01:56
    now I want to just Begin by saying that
  • 00:01:58
    again I'm not like a live service hater
  • 00:02:01
    or anything like that I played games
  • 00:02:03
    that are actually popular live services
  • 00:02:05
    for crying out loud I've played Rainbow
  • 00:02:07
    Six siege for years I mean not as much
  • 00:02:09
    these days but I played it pretty
  • 00:02:12
    actively I would say 2018 2019 I was a
  • 00:02:14
    Rainbow Six Siege gamer for a while and
  • 00:02:18
    of course when it comes to live Services
  • 00:02:20
    obviously Grand Theft Auto online is
  • 00:02:22
    significantly popular it is a live
  • 00:02:23
    service MMO but again EA games through
  • 00:02:28
    BioWare it which by the now is
  • 00:02:30
    effectively at it's like you know grave
  • 00:02:33
    we're talking about apparently less than
  • 00:02:35
    100 employees work at this company and
  • 00:02:37
    it's like an actual former shell of
  • 00:02:39
    itself apparently Mass Effect 5 I think
  • 00:02:41
    is just touching things like
  • 00:02:43
    pre-production or getting into act I
  • 00:02:45
    don't even think that game is going to
  • 00:02:46
    see the light of day I would be shocked
  • 00:02:48
    if it does but bioware's only duty was
  • 00:02:52
    not Dragon Age obviously if you remember
  • 00:02:54
    Anthem came out a massive life service
  • 00:02:57
    experience by the way and I'm sure if we
  • 00:02:59
    asked EA intelligent business Harvard
  • 00:03:01
    graduates uh how successful this [ __ ]
  • 00:03:04
    game is they tell you oh man it's got
  • 00:03:07
    you know all of 20 [ __ ] people still
  • 00:03:10
    on it all right yeah this live service
  • 00:03:12
    experience didn't really do like million
  • 00:03:14
    didn't do Gang Busters did it you know
  • 00:03:15
    doesn't have millions of active live
  • 00:03:17
    players I was expecting with all of this
  • 00:03:20
    live service intelligence thrown into it
  • 00:03:23
    probably should be sitting at two
  • 00:03:25
    billion active players every single hour
  • 00:03:27
    but you know unfortunately I guess I
  • 00:03:29
    guess some some intellectual missed the
  • 00:03:31
    mark over there now anthem is not like a
  • 00:03:34
    terrible game it's a game that has some
  • 00:03:37
    real actual like effort put into it like
  • 00:03:39
    I can actually see like why some people
  • 00:03:41
    really enjoy it the shame is it's a game
  • 00:03:44
    designed to again be more for the life
  • 00:03:46
    service Community where you log in every
  • 00:03:48
    day you get your dailies you do
  • 00:03:50
    everything it almost feels like there's
  • 00:03:52
    so much mobile game involvement so much
  • 00:03:54
    thought processes put into people
  • 00:03:57
    constantly doing the same content over
  • 00:03:58
    and over again just to grind for better
  • 00:04:01
    and better riches right I guess if you
  • 00:04:02
    played any mobile game it's kind of like
  • 00:04:04
    you know I grind so I can get five
  • 00:04:06
    pieces of [ __ ] and I can fuse those
  • 00:04:08
    together to get a lump of [ __ ] and then
  • 00:04:10
    I can use the lump of [ __ ] to generate
  • 00:04:13
    slightly better gear and I keep doing
  • 00:04:14
    that over and over and over again like a
  • 00:04:17
    [ __ ] lab rat until eventually I have
  • 00:04:20
    the highest possible gear score and then
  • 00:04:22
    that's it that's my that's gaming for me
  • 00:04:25
    now obviously I don't think most gamers
  • 00:04:27
    are really looking too forward to that
  • 00:04:28
    especially those that buy $60 uh single
  • 00:04:31
    player or like you know community
  • 00:04:33
    experiences now Dragon Age I talked
  • 00:04:36
    about this in the Ubisoft video it's
  • 00:04:38
    funny as hell when you play this game
  • 00:04:40
    because even the gameplay like forget
  • 00:04:41
    about all the politics and and
  • 00:04:43
    everything around it the game play is
  • 00:04:46
    [ __ ] boring okay it's somebody that's
  • 00:04:49
    played through a majority of that game
  • 00:04:51
    I'll tell you right now the first like
  • 00:04:54
    six let's say first 15 hours of the game
  • 00:04:56
    right which are probably the most
  • 00:04:57
    pivotal important sections if the combat
  • 00:05:00
    just the combat isn't exciting okay what
  • 00:05:04
    makes you think people are going to
  • 00:05:05
    stick around and you might be like bu
  • 00:05:06
    muda it gets better you know by the time
  • 00:05:08
    you reach level 20 Level 25 when you've
  • 00:05:10
    gotten through your skill trees bro
  • 00:05:13
    getting to level 20 25 is where you need
  • 00:05:15
    to spend 15 hours of your life into dog
  • 00:05:19
    if the first 15 hours aren't fun I'm not
  • 00:05:22
    going to do it I'm not going to go all
  • 00:05:24
    the way to level 2025 you catch what I'm
  • 00:05:26
    saying this is not Final Fantasy 13
  • 00:05:29
    where it's like Moody you just have to
  • 00:05:30
    get to like chapter 13 before things
  • 00:05:33
    finally get good bro chapter 13 is the
  • 00:05:35
    end of the [ __ ] game okay it's the
  • 00:05:38
    end what do you mean it gets good what
  • 00:05:40
    the credits roll and I can finally
  • 00:05:42
    uninstall this oh yeah the game's
  • 00:05:45
    amazing then absolutely perfect wow 10
  • 00:05:48
    out of 10 finally I reached the end let
  • 00:05:50
    me uninstall this pile of [ __ ] that's
  • 00:05:53
    the reality of it okay if your if your
  • 00:05:55
    game isn't engaging or fun and again
  • 00:05:57
    this is my opinion it's objective yeah
  • 00:06:00
    people are going to obviously be a
  • 00:06:02
    little bit questionable about it so yeah
  • 00:06:04
    when I saw this live service thing I was
  • 00:06:06
    sitting down and I'm like dude again
  • 00:06:08
    it's like the most outof touch
  • 00:06:10
    Executives working at these companies
  • 00:06:12
    who literally cannot understand these
  • 00:06:14
    games fail because they're again not
  • 00:06:17
    even close to an actual expansion over
  • 00:06:19
    games like Dragon Age Inquisition which
  • 00:06:21
    was like a PS4 launch title a PS3 title
  • 00:06:26
    we are not even producing games that are
  • 00:06:28
    taking real advantage of the PS5 we are
  • 00:06:30
    producing games that really feel like
  • 00:06:33
    hampered neutered life service co-op
  • 00:06:35
    games that now have these stories
  • 00:06:37
    attached to it that just feel like
  • 00:06:39
    they're PS4 games with slightly higher
  • 00:06:41
    resolutions and maybe some Ray tracing
  • 00:06:43
    haphazardly thrown in these are not PS5
  • 00:06:46
    games these are not actual improvements
  • 00:06:49
    right you think when you play a game a
  • 00:06:51
    decade down the road there would be
  • 00:06:53
    something pretty massive something
  • 00:06:54
    pretty changing but there isn't and
  • 00:06:58
    that's one of the problems that I think
  • 00:06:59
    people have when it comes to these video
  • 00:07:01
    games the teams involved have shifted
  • 00:07:04
    and changed so much throughout the years
  • 00:07:06
    that Dragon Age might as well be titled
  • 00:07:08
    as something different because even the
  • 00:07:10
    original Dragon Age team doesn't seem to
  • 00:07:11
    give that much of a [ __ ] about this new
  • 00:07:13
    Dragon Age stuff that comes out but even
  • 00:07:16
    beyond all of it like the other thing
  • 00:07:17
    that I saw coming out that made me laugh
  • 00:07:19
    my ass off was this Sims Legacy
  • 00:07:22
    Collection okay now I'm somebody that's
  • 00:07:24
    a fan of the Sims and the moment you
  • 00:07:26
    start seeing mixed on Steam you go oh
  • 00:07:29
    boy boy what's going on here and
  • 00:07:32
    unfortunately it seems like the Sims 2
  • 00:07:34
    actually has some performance issues now
  • 00:07:37
    how the [ __ ] does a game that was
  • 00:07:39
    released in 2004 have performance issues
  • 00:07:42
    in the year
  • 00:07:44
    2025 well according to a few of the
  • 00:07:46
    reviews for this it really led to a lot
  • 00:07:48
    of issues that came with this Legacy
  • 00:07:50
    Collection now they released these games
  • 00:07:52
    again these are old PC games' 04
  • 00:07:55
    apparently there is no UI scaling at
  • 00:07:57
    resolutions of 1080P and O So mind you
  • 00:08:02
    modern resolutions like 4K monitors
  • 00:08:05
    1440p monitor 1080p monitors if you're
  • 00:08:07
    not even scaling to do that should
  • 00:08:10
    people spend by the way $40 on this when
  • 00:08:16
    I'm not advocating piracy but if you
  • 00:08:18
    have like older discs existing I'm sure
  • 00:08:20
    you can find fan patches that work
  • 00:08:23
    better than the official [ __ ] that EA
  • 00:08:25
    makes so apparently there is even worse
  • 00:08:28
    for the pre-rendered neighborhood view
  • 00:08:29
    which seems to be presented as a small
  • 00:08:31
    low res window in the center that they
  • 00:08:33
    couldn't even like up they couldn't even
  • 00:08:36
    think of throwing that [ __ ] into like an
  • 00:08:38
    AI upscaler and then putting it into the
  • 00:08:40
    game no no that would require effort Eda
  • 00:08:44
    that would apparently require them
  • 00:08:46
    giving a [ __ ] crashes at launch and
  • 00:08:48
    after assorted durations of playtimes I
  • 00:08:51
    mean that's just part for the course I
  • 00:08:52
    mean [ __ ] you're trying to what play a
  • 00:08:54
    PC game in 2025 going to have to deal
  • 00:08:56
    with lack of modernizations Q fix or
  • 00:08:59
    even basic [ __ ] like steam Cloud saves
  • 00:09:02
    bro you know how many [ __ ] dudes
  • 00:09:04
    would play this [ __ ] on their computer
  • 00:09:05
    and then be like well time to go to bed
  • 00:09:07
    let's bring s you don't even have clout
  • 00:09:10
    saves in
  • 00:09:12
    2025 how much could it have been how
  • 00:09:16
    much effort could that have been
  • 00:09:18
    retention of known bucks from the
  • 00:09:20
    original rele I mean that's just
  • 00:09:21
    hilarious like not not even fixing any
  • 00:09:24
    of the issues from the original games
  • 00:09:27
    you know you can tell the game company
  • 00:09:28
    doesn't give [ __ ] just by reading the
  • 00:09:30
    system requirements you're telling me a
  • 00:09:32
    game released in 2004 The Sims 2 by the
  • 00:09:34
    way requires 4 gigs of RAM you know a
  • 00:09:38
    lot of people are using 32bit Windows at
  • 00:09:40
    the time they couldn't even the
  • 00:09:41
    computers back then didn't even know 4
  • 00:09:43
    gigb of ram existed [ __ ] was like
  • 00:09:45
    Plato's allegory of the [ __ ] cave the
  • 00:09:48
    computers all were sitting in blindness
  • 00:09:51
    one [ __ ] updated to 64 bit went
  • 00:09:54
    back in and they were like nope this
  • 00:09:56
    doesn't exist that what and then you at
  • 00:09:59
    the graphics for this too like the
  • 00:10:00
    graphics requirements NVIDIA GTX 600
  • 00:10:03
    nothing says I gave a [ __ ] about
  • 00:10:06
    optimization then requiring a graphics
  • 00:10:08
    card from 2012 for a game literally
  • 00:10:11
    released in 2004 okay that is actually
  • 00:10:15
    wild I'm sure the way that these things
  • 00:10:17
    are done is somebody at you or EA or any
  • 00:10:20
    game game publishing firm goes into like
  • 00:10:22
    the the tech closet somewhere in the
  • 00:10:24
    site digs out the dustiest oldest
  • 00:10:26
    [ __ ] computer from like from like the
  • 00:10:29
    the Clinton Administration sticks that
  • 00:10:31
    [ __ ] down onto a desk fires it up thing
  • 00:10:34
    explodes like a dust ridden IED and as
  • 00:10:37
    long as they can see the splash screen
  • 00:10:39
    whoa congratulations throw that [ __ ] up
  • 00:10:42
    on Steam boys what is the minimum
  • 00:10:44
    requirement Windows 10 in what Universe
  • 00:10:48
    does Sims 2 require Windows 10 [ __ ]
  • 00:10:51
    could run on XP you might as well just
  • 00:10:53
    give actual requirements cuz I'm pretty
  • 00:10:55
    sure this game is just a slightly
  • 00:10:57
    patched and I say slightly pached
  • 00:10:59
    version of the original binaries 17 Gigs
  • 00:11:02
    available space what the hell did you
  • 00:11:04
    stick on here A whole bunch of Sims rule
  • 00:11:07
    34 on the drive that's inaccessible I
  • 00:11:09
    doubt the game is even close to half
  • 00:11:11
    that space requirement but I'm being a
  • 00:11:14
    little too wild okay obviously I'm
  • 00:11:17
    trying to expect EA to put effort into a
  • 00:11:20
    game and and they won't they don't
  • 00:11:22
    really care like obviously there's like
  • 00:11:25
    shining examples where games like Mass
  • 00:11:27
    Effect legendary edition actually do
  • 00:11:29
    have some effort put into it and they
  • 00:11:31
    release a pretty solid release right
  • 00:11:32
    there but the Sims nah I mean to be fair
  • 00:11:36
    The Sims Community or at least most of
  • 00:11:37
    the community is so technically literate
  • 00:11:39
    when it comes to this game that for them
  • 00:11:41
    this is like already amazing for anybody
  • 00:11:42
    that has actually played some PC
  • 00:11:45
    games I mean obviously you would look at
  • 00:11:47
    all these issues as serious actual
  • 00:11:49
    issues involved so again going in
  • 00:11:52
    further into this situation too one of
  • 00:11:54
    the other things I saw with EA that had
  • 00:11:56
    me a little Blown Away was Apex Legends
  • 00:11:58
    now for those of you don't remember uh
  • 00:12:00
    Apex Legends abandoned Linux like 3
  • 00:12:02
    months ago uh apparently Linux had a
  • 00:12:05
    cheating issue right you couldn't really
  • 00:12:06
    monitor a lot of the cheaters that well
  • 00:12:08
    and obviously Apex Legends decided to go
  • 00:12:10
    from you know 91,000 and this isn't
  • 00:12:13
    Linux people leaving like there was no
  • 00:12:14
    way there were 20,000 Linux users
  • 00:12:16
    playing Apex Legends on Steam but uh in
  • 00:12:19
    amongst other issues actual cheating
  • 00:12:21
    issues uh which have remain unresolved
  • 00:12:24
    from everything that I've been reading
  • 00:12:25
    with their updates yeah that's what's
  • 00:12:28
    causing your game to effectively dry out
  • 00:12:30
    and again I wanted to bring this up
  • 00:12:32
    because usually anytime you deal with
  • 00:12:34
    like these windows [ __ ] who are
  • 00:12:35
    always like I'm glad those Linux
  • 00:12:38
    cheaters left bro I'm sorry to say most
  • 00:12:41
    of the cheaters are playing Windows okay
  • 00:12:43
    the cheaters don't even want to waste
  • 00:12:45
    time switching to the penguin all right
  • 00:12:47
    that's just a cop Fest from these
  • 00:12:49
    companies to remove an established
  • 00:12:51
    player base people who spend money to
  • 00:12:53
    play these games and have spent money to
  • 00:12:55
    play these games from their systems
  • 00:12:56
    because they're too [ __ ] lazy or they
  • 00:12:58
    just do not care to support the most
  • 00:13:01
    basic anti-cheats that already have a
  • 00:13:03
    lot of the work done for him but this is
  • 00:13:05
    a argument that I have with my I'm
  • 00:13:07
    literally Shadow Boxing like I can't win
  • 00:13:09
    this argument okay it is what it is but
  • 00:13:11
    again the last thing that I wanted to
  • 00:13:13
    see with Battlefield this one blew me
  • 00:13:15
    away so one of the last I think Hail
  • 00:13:17
    Marys that EA kind of has and I say hail
  • 00:13:20
    Mary it's not as if they have like all
  • 00:13:22
    these sports games that like print money
  • 00:13:24
    for them yeah apparently Battlefield
  • 00:13:26
    Labs is now a thing ladies and gentlemen
  • 00:13:28
    and apparently they've got four studios
  • 00:13:30
    around the entire globe that are
  • 00:13:32
    basically working together to make
  • 00:13:34
    Battlefield games now EA's big franchise
  • 00:13:37
    for me is Battlefield it's a game that
  • 00:13:39
    I've been playing since I was literally
  • 00:13:41
    before puberty actually I played
  • 00:13:43
    Battlefield 2 I played Battlefield 1942
  • 00:13:46
    I've been playing the only Battlefield
  • 00:13:47
    game I probably didn't play and that's
  • 00:13:50
    because my integrated Graphics couldn't
  • 00:13:51
    run it at the time was Battlefield 2142
  • 00:13:54
    but rest assured Battlefield 3 was the
  • 00:13:56
    game that made me want to actually build
  • 00:13:58
    a gaming computer so I could play that
  • 00:14:00
    game on an actual PC as opposed to the
  • 00:14:03
    360 that literally felt like a neutered
  • 00:14:05
    experience and of course Battlefield 4
  • 00:14:08
    remains one of my favorite games ever
  • 00:14:10
    [ __ ] made shooter wise and in fact it
  • 00:14:13
    was such a good game by EA so much care
  • 00:14:15
    put into it that like not only you had
  • 00:14:17
    perfect progression without making the
  • 00:14:19
    game feel like a microtransaction ridden
  • 00:14:21
    [ __ ] hole but you also had a lot of
  • 00:14:23
    thought put into the maps I mean to this
  • 00:14:25
    day I don't think there is a map as good
  • 00:14:27
    as siege of Shanghai from Battlefield 4
  • 00:14:30
    in anything that they've released since
  • 00:14:32
    then since then and that was a game that
  • 00:14:34
    had things like Levolution in every map
  • 00:14:37
    where in Battlefield like four you could
  • 00:14:39
    in siege of Shanghai you could see the
  • 00:14:41
    actual central tower destroy in front of
  • 00:14:43
    you and you might be like well that's
  • 00:14:45
    just a pre-baked animation I didn't care
  • 00:14:47
    it looked good it changed the map made
  • 00:14:49
    everything Dusty made it feel like I was
  • 00:14:51
    in a battlefield and you know the
  • 00:14:52
    funniest thing is that ran on a
  • 00:14:54
    PlayStation 3 and it only got better you
  • 00:14:57
    know dice EA actually put a game
  • 00:15:00
    together that people could be proud of
  • 00:15:01
    and yes it did have issues at launch
  • 00:15:03
    like matchmaking wasn't exactly perfect
  • 00:15:05
    but overall I would say very very fun
  • 00:15:09
    experience and since then Battlefield is
  • 00:15:11
    a franchise that I believe is a little
  • 00:15:12
    bit too much more casualized it's one
  • 00:15:14
    that has kind of lost I would say the
  • 00:15:17
    original it's kind of like Halo where
  • 00:15:19
    maybe it's like tuned itself into a way
  • 00:15:21
    to appeal to like the masses completely
  • 00:15:23
    forgetting the gameplay Loops that it
  • 00:15:25
    built initially so yeah Battlefield 2042
  • 00:15:28
    was last one that came out I I kind of
  • 00:15:30
    enjoyed it at the time when it released
  • 00:15:32
    when I played with like hug bees but
  • 00:15:34
    then I remembered I played that game at
  • 00:15:35
    launch with friends okay and to be
  • 00:15:37
    honest getting tortured and Pyongyang
  • 00:15:39
    while eating pck [ __ ] off the street is
  • 00:15:41
    actually fun as long as you're obviously
  • 00:15:43
    with friends now since then I've been
  • 00:15:45
    playing Battlefield 2042 pretty recently
  • 00:15:47
    some Battlefield 4 even Battlefield 3
  • 00:15:50
    heck might even install Battlefield 2
  • 00:15:52
    and play some online on some private of
  • 00:15:54
    you know Community servers and I'll have
  • 00:15:56
    a great experience at least there
  • 00:15:58
    playing a game like Battlefield 2042
  • 00:16:00
    shows me just how much they have not
  • 00:16:03
    expanded this game the maps again just
  • 00:16:05
    do not have that same level of fun as
  • 00:16:08
    Maps like laning Dam from Battlefield 4
  • 00:16:11
    uh siege of Shanghai obviously and of
  • 00:16:13
    course one of my favorites flood zone
  • 00:16:16
    these are all maps that existed in Prior
  • 00:16:18
    Battlefield games that actually appear
  • 00:16:20
    to have care and effort put into them
  • 00:16:22
    and obviously Battlefield 20 2042
  • 00:16:25
    doesn't really seem to have that level
  • 00:16:27
    of care put into it and the progression
  • 00:16:29
    really isn't all the way there this
  • 00:16:30
    really feels like again a a game
  • 00:16:32
    franchise that's going back in time so
  • 00:16:35
    anyways Battlefield laps comes out and I
  • 00:16:36
    feel like it's the last Hail Mary for
  • 00:16:39
    this franchise where like they're
  • 00:16:40
    apparently trying to release a new
  • 00:16:42
    Battlefield game sometime in 2026 that's
  • 00:16:45
    going to blow people
  • 00:16:46
    away and there is some new footage
  • 00:16:49
    that's come out and this footage has
  • 00:16:50
    gotten at least some Gamers a little
  • 00:16:52
    riled up so there have been 12 seconds
  • 00:16:56
    of footage released for this game and uh
  • 00:16:59
    I want to show you guys what I think is
  • 00:17:01
    re really important so obviously I want
  • 00:17:03
    to point out this is pre-alpha gameplay
  • 00:17:05
    sub gamep playay subject to change now
  • 00:17:08
    typically when I'm at the pre-alpha
  • 00:17:09
    stage uh I'm sure it's going to be very
  • 00:17:12
    subject to change all right so let's
  • 00:17:14
    look at what they've got in the let's
  • 00:17:15
    see what the labs are cooking here let's
  • 00:17:16
    see what the uh let's see what's going
  • 00:17:18
    on in those test tubes and beers oh they
  • 00:17:20
    got the Battlefield 3 theme soldiers
  • 00:17:22
    running around with guns oh boy building
  • 00:17:25
    destruction woo baby rocket launchers
  • 00:17:28
    who
  • 00:17:30
    now you can sign up for this and I've
  • 00:17:31
    tried doing it but apparently the the
  • 00:17:33
    queue is like 200,000 players large so
  • 00:17:35
    obviously people are excited there
  • 00:17:37
    there's a bit of excitement from Gamers
  • 00:17:39
    and again to be completely real uh I I
  • 00:17:42
    would Reserve any form of excitement for
  • 00:17:44
    myself remember this is like Early
  • 00:17:45
    Access gameplay the fact that you know
  • 00:17:48
    guns being shot uh players running
  • 00:17:50
    around and destructibility that again
  • 00:17:52
    the battlefield franchise is not neww
  • 00:17:55
    this has been happening since Bat
  • 00:17:57
    Company 2 on the Xbox 360 is enough to
  • 00:18:00
    excite people again like just the
  • 00:18:02
    prospect of of EA Dice and a lot of
  • 00:18:05
    these organizations that work at EA just
  • 00:18:07
    basically saying yeah we're going to go
  • 00:18:09
    back to Battlefield 3 we're going to go
  • 00:18:10
    back to Battlefield 4 just shows you all
  • 00:18:14
    right what the gamers actually crave
  • 00:18:16
    what they want but you know ultimately
  • 00:18:18
    at the end of the day for a company like
  • 00:18:20
    EA it's going to actually be ruined and
  • 00:18:22
    again quote me on this when this game
  • 00:18:24
    releases this game probably will be
  • 00:18:26
    ruined because they're going to have
  • 00:18:27
    this insane Focus on the life service
  • 00:18:30
    the hyperfocus on like monetization let
  • 00:18:32
    me tell you why a lot of these big
  • 00:18:34
    Shooters fail as soon as they come out
  • 00:18:36
    of these life service experiences
  • 00:18:38
    usually and again I'm going to bring
  • 00:18:39
    Halo infinite as an example when you
  • 00:18:41
    release a live service shooter typically
  • 00:18:43
    these companies release games as like
  • 00:18:46
    minimal viable product or Early Access
  • 00:18:48
    or you know products that are
  • 00:18:50
    functioning games but they don't have
  • 00:18:52
    all their content from day one so back
  • 00:18:55
    in the day when games like Battlefield 3
  • 00:18:57
    or Halo Reach came out these were full
  • 00:18:59
    released games they came with their
  • 00:19:00
    campaigns they came with their
  • 00:19:01
    multiplayers occasionally they would
  • 00:19:03
    come with some sort of like PVE uh in
  • 00:19:05
    Halo's case it would have like Forge
  • 00:19:07
    World they would have like custom games
  • 00:19:08
    they would have the entire Suite ready
  • 00:19:10
    to go and that meant players actually
  • 00:19:12
    got a functioning full complete
  • 00:19:15
    experience for $60 on launch and then
  • 00:19:17
    typically after a month or two map packs
  • 00:19:19
    would start to be released for again
  • 00:19:21
    paid Services you know $10 $15 $20 packs
  • 00:19:25
    that people would buy and add on now in
  • 00:19:27
    this case of live service I'm totally
  • 00:19:29
    cool when game companies release map
  • 00:19:32
    packs for free so nobody's sort of like
  • 00:19:33
    segregated in these communities and
  • 00:19:35
    obviously the way they subsidize It Is
  • 00:19:37
    by releasing cat ear or goofy
  • 00:19:39
    microtransactions that whales end up
  • 00:19:41
    buying who subsidize the cost of DLC for
  • 00:19:44
    the general player base so everyone
  • 00:19:46
    plays together everyone stays together
  • 00:19:48
    and the company still makes good money
  • 00:19:50
    by selling bacon themed gun skins okay
  • 00:19:53
    because people will buy that [ __ ] I've
  • 00:19:55
    bought gun skins because I enjoy games
  • 00:19:58
    especially if game developer and
  • 00:19:59
    publisher treats me right but the
  • 00:20:02
    problem with games like Battlefield and
  • 00:20:03
    the games like Halo nowadays or I would
  • 00:20:06
    even say as far as Call of Duty
  • 00:20:08
    eventually at some point too when you
  • 00:20:10
    release these games as minimal viable
  • 00:20:12
    product meaning that they have a very
  • 00:20:14
    very minimal multiplayer Suite with not
  • 00:20:16
    as many Maps as one would like I would
  • 00:20:18
    say these games release probably at the
  • 00:20:20
    state of 50% of their overall content
  • 00:20:22
    than games that released a decade ago
  • 00:20:24
    like Battlefield 4 and you can play them
  • 00:20:27
    and play them and play them and
  • 00:20:28
    typically the release drip for content
  • 00:20:30
    is so long and so far off that the
  • 00:20:33
    player base usually tapers off well
  • 00:20:35
    before they're releasing their first
  • 00:20:37
    seasons and then content and content on
  • 00:20:39
    top of that the only real successful
  • 00:20:41
    shooter that I've actually played that
  • 00:20:43
    matches this model well I would say is
  • 00:20:45
    probably Rainbow Six Siege the first two
  • 00:20:47
    three years of that game they were
  • 00:20:49
    releasing DLC like expansion content
  • 00:20:52
    every season and of course people kept
  • 00:20:54
    getting engaged they released a full
  • 00:20:56
    game day one a full multiplayer
  • 00:20:58
    experience and they just kept adding
  • 00:20:59
    from there and I don't think Battlefield
  • 00:21:02
    is going to be able to recreate that
  • 00:21:03
    unless the companies at EA the labs
  • 00:21:06
    actually understand that and they
  • 00:21:08
    understand the respect of the consumer
  • 00:21:09
    and the respect of the consumer's time
  • 00:21:12
    right there if this game releases in a
  • 00:21:14
    similar state to Battlefield 2042 as a
  • 00:21:17
    minimal viable product with people
  • 00:21:19
    clamoring for content for quite a long
  • 00:21:22
    time before it actually gets delivered
  • 00:21:24
    it will die and again I'm not Nostra
  • 00:21:27
    [ __ ] damus for thinking so okay I'm
  • 00:21:29
    just somebody that has been in this
  • 00:21:30
    gaming space for a long time my whole
  • 00:21:33
    life and I can tell you the actual
  • 00:21:35
    issues that exist there and I can tell
  • 00:21:37
