I'm becoming more and more thankful for having passed on this. I'll rent it or wait for bargain bin if anything.

I must be the only one here that had to stop watching halfway through because of how annoying he was lol. I didn't agree with half the stuff he said.

He certainly isn't for everybody, I'd rather watch him than any of the big review sites that clearly have no consistency or back bones when it comes to their reviews. I just think he's funny tbh rather than an authority on games, he does say he isn't really a reviewer. Although I have bought a few games I usually wouldn't have going on his worth a buy videos. Out of interest, what did he say that you didn't agree with?

Well, I'll do a short list.
Quick time events - There's like two in the entire game.
Cutscenes - Yes there are a lot but they're no different than having them take place in game. Didn't take me out of it and yes, made it more cinematic.
Pretty much anything he said about online. It sounds like he yearns for old school battlefield games. That isn't to say that 3 was ****. Online was awesome. He complains about running into combat within 4 or 5 seconds but that's only possible on smaller modes. I played heist and conquest and I was running for like 2 minutes because all the vehicles were taken before getting into combat. No one wants to spend that long before fighting enemies so that comment makes no sense.
He talks about enemies and teammates spawning right on top of him like it's ridiculous but thats been a thing of battlefield for years, spawning on teammates or at capture points that they hold. Or talking about people hiding on the map or in doorways or Windows and shooting you.
Basically the more he kept talking, the more it felt like my dad was talking after picking up the controller and trying it and h. Doesn't play video games. He sounds like he hasn't played any of these games in the last decade.
I will admit though that the enemies in campaign are a piss off. I can shoot them in the head with a 5.56 or 7.62 round and they Wont die. Basically I have to have my weapon center of mass and let the recoil pull the weapon up to hit them enough.

Welp, only have 3 achievements left and they're the multiplayer ones. Hardline difficulty was a joke. Did it on my second play through and since I had done all the warrants on normal, there was no reason to go quiet so I rampaged through it with the M240B and a desert eagle. Slaughtered everyone and only died a few times.

I have to say game modes matter for this. I love conquest for the big maps and it's a blast to always go running around and never seeing the same exact action twice.
I've been playing a lot of hot wire and when you have a squad, it'd easily the most fun in bf I've ever had. Yeah, I don't understand that comment about squad spawns, he'll it averages to about 100 bucks per spawn. I got about 3k in one game just on spawns alone. I'm definitely not going to complain.
I will say this game isn't BF 3 or 4 or even BC. But hell this isn't the same company. Honestly, while I like Visceral on Hardline; they should focus on another Dead Space.

yeah, the modes definitely matter. I was playing blood money last night and it was so much fun. It's like capture the flag and domination rolled into one.
I agree, although I'm not sure they had much of a choice in the matter. I think EA made visceral do hardline and now EA has them working on a star wars title. I'd easily give up hardline and that star wars title if it meant a current gen dead space.

Yeah, it's hard to argue with anything he says. As a BF fan it is a shame, but I guess there are plenty of other titles out there to tie us over until EA sort their stuff out. I have a huge steam library, most of which has never been played. Now might be a good time to start on stuff like dishonored finally.

He makes a lot of great points as usual and I completely agree, this should have been an expansion pack rather than a full game. It would have been mind blowing as an expansion. I'm really just playing this now to kill time until MKX comes out. I highly highly doubt I'll be buying premium like I did 3 and 4.
I rented this and beat the single player over 2 days. It was ok. Not horrible, not great. It definitely was a change from past games. I didnt try MP so I can't give an opinion on that. But based off of single player, I wouldn't pay full price for it.

I was planning on picking up this game when the price drops. I see Best Buy and Amazon have Battlefield Hardline on sale for $39.99.

1 achievement left and its the most bloody annoying thing ever. I have to do a bunch little requirements to unlock a weapon of which I need to get 25 kills. Now one of them is getting 15 ballistic shield coins. You get a coin for every 100 bullet deflects. Now the best parts are that, your shield can be destroyed from being shot too much. shotguns that fire multiple pellets only count as 1 hit, players aren't stupid, if they see you and shoot you, you'll get maybe 5 hits before they run up and either shoot you or throw a grenade or Molotov. The best part is you have to be completely parallel to the enemy, otherwise they'll kill you instantly. As well, I could have a guy 30 feet away shooting at me and his buddy who's 4 feet to his left somehow gets the angle on me and can kill me.
The real world equivalent of hardlines ballistic shield is a six inch by six inch styrofoam sheet.

I am literally doing the same thing just on PS. This is easily the most retarded thing ever. I have spent two days of playing just trying to get the camera coins. **** this trophy.
