I forgot to post this the past 2 weeks but im back. This past week a I played through the Demon's Souls remake to get ready for Elden Ring DLC. I also played some Binding of Isaac on the side. Haven't watched the Summer Games Fest, but everything I've heard is that it's been dreadful.
BF4... went back to it recently... what a fucking game.
Sometimes when the tanks are rolling in, the choppers are flying above, everything's exploding and you're running through it all, it really does feel like you're in a movie. ONLY IN BATTLEFIELD is so true, and it makes me so sad that they've managed to fuck the franchise up so badly by trying to jump on the hero-shooter/battlepass shit.
I also think BFBC2, BF3, and BF4 feel extra visceral because they're depicting (a roided up version) of conflicts that I've seen on TV and that have happened in my lifetime. I mean, BF4's slightly futuristic but it still feels within reason.
