Battlefield V (PS4)

Great graphics very good single player and multiplayer mode

Fantastic. Plays very similar to BF4. Much better than BF1. All DLC being free is such a good decision. Gameplay is strong. Rewards team players. Time to kill (TTK) is faster than previous games which makes play faster and makes you play more tactically, using cover etc. and therefore no need for a hardcore mode. Few features still to come, but I like that it will be regularly added to, keeping it fresh. Ignore the bad reviews. It’s very immersive and it’s not a history program. It’s supposed to be fun, and it very much is.

Visuals: as always the frostbite implementation here looks stunning, especially for metal based material work and Battlefield destruction. Other areas like character models and distant detaila look abit backwards. Overall I found myself stopping every now and then to admire the visual effects of the devastation caused to the game world. Gunplay: great. Found a good balance between feeling like cheese and being over simulation to the point where it becomes stupid. Campaign: plain boring. Undeveloped, and just done to try and say it has a single player mode. It is half an effort, and just feels like an offline multilayer mode. I really think this is no fault of the developers at DICE, as I know they can do a very good job. Battlefield 3, and the Bad companies were pretty good - and the developers are talented. No developer deliberately makes a game terrible. Pressure from EA to focus on multilayer, becuase apparently nobody wants to play single player games... *cough* God of war at 11 million, spiderman at 13 million, Zelda BOTW at 15 million, uncharted 4 at 17 million, witcher 3 at 20 million, Horizon at 10 million..... *cough*. EA's excuse for the underperformance of Battlefield V was targeted at an over focus on campaign (face palm) which is a completely stupid notion. The reason why it failed is becuase you did not focus enough. Multilayer: The best War game out there. The crown from battlefield 1 has been taken by this game. Firestorm (Battle Royale): not that bad, can be fun, can be plain boring. Frustrates me when you are out into a match and there are some who live and breath firestorm know each and every good kill spot. It should be ability matched. For example I'm a decent gamer, but I don't stand a chance against someone who has sent the last hundred days studying the firestorm map. Team mode is equally frustrating as if you don't have a party then you are severely disadvantaged. This game has its moments, and overall is better than Battlefield 1 (is it??). Should you buy it?... Well if you like the all out war of battlefiled then go for it. if you are buying it becuase you want to tick all of the single player, multilayer and battle Royale boxes, then you can probably give it a miss. If you are buying it for single player... Then ask yourself if you have played Battlefield 4 and 1, if not, then the gameplay may be interesting to you. If you are familiar with games like this, then this will be boring. EDIT : After some serious reflection. This game turned out to be, after content updates, one of the, if not the best BF game. Just with a really forgettable campaign.

Graphics? Stunning Audio? Immersive FPS? Positively challenging but faster than usual Campaign? Moving and genuinely a worthwhile story Multiplayer? Uninteresting, unrewarding and unfulfilling Price is the main consideration in my opinion, if it were £25 it would be a good game. However at £50 it’s a large disappointment. Call of Duty may not be what it was in terms of FPS Gameplay but it’s giving customers a whole lot of game at the least. This year’s instalment of Battlefield feels unfinished. The campaign is brilliant in all aspects except it is short. Multiplayer is the real issue here though. After making a u-turn on “pay to win” mechanics such as DLC weapons etc. They appear to have forgotten about weapon upgrades unlocked by actually playing the game you bought. No weapon attachments are unlockable or offer any advantage except cosmetically. You have almost all of the best weapons from the get go and none of the weapons really offer variety. The new game modes are ALL variations of Domination, all involve capturing flags. The maps themselves are forgettable also, as you don’t really need to interact with them. Too much open area and not enough classic fighting from cover. All in all it looks like Battlefield but doesn’t feel like it.

Ignore the CoD fan boys. This is brilliant. And yes, I have played both for a long long time, CoD since it first started. This Battlefield feels so much fun. And it is. From the weapons, map design as in you can use ALL weapon types as intended. I generally play TDM as it's very fast paced but the maps still isn't boxed in like CoD is. It's also easier to 'aim and hit' than previous BF games, making it better for beginners. And when you are in a roll it's sooo much more fun than CoD. Bin CoD like I did, literally, and buy this. It looks stunning as well, not like an upscaled PS3 game like BO4 is!!

I was very sceptic about BF5 when the reveal trailer came out. I wasn't even interested to try beta and left it until 3 days before beta was over. But when I tried it I loved. Yes, it's different from BF1, without a doubt, but so far I have only few issues, i. e. inability to join friends' game if their squad is full and some glitching. They are too minor to spoil the whole experience and I am quite sure they will be addressed sooner or later. I am not going to list all the excellent features Dice implemented, there are plenty of articles written about this already. All I can say is the squad play is crucial for enjoying this game to the fullest. P.S. Last COD I played was Modern Warfare 2. I played all Battlefield games since Bad Company.

Amazing game, no words can describe the level of fun you have, specially with friends. Large maps were you can have epic battles with tanks, planes, on foot. It really blows my mind how EA have manage to create such a good product. You will not be dissapointed with this game, it is full of updates were they keep adding weapons, stories, etc... Would recommend if you are into FPS.
