Having tried BF1 again this afternoon I have to admit that BFV is not that appealing. Playing the Alpha showed there was a difference between BF1 and 5 but after the initial ‘Oooo, a new map’ feeling wore off they had a similar feel to me. I know that I play BF1 more as random than with folk I know but team work seems nonexistent. What is missing is the fun.
Playing BF4 later today was much more fun even if it was on familiar maps that I have played hundreds (if not thousands) of times before. I may be on the losing side and have a ridiculously bad k/d at the end but I had a lot of fun and it made me smile. A lot. I have never had that in BF1.
£70 (or even the £55) seems a lot for something I may not play much. So far, BF4 costs about 1.3p per hour, BF1 is currently 70p per hour. BF3 was similar to BF4.
