What's everybody's opinion on Battlefield V? I've heard mixed results. Worth the purchase?

It is $30 at Target. Give it a shot. If you like it, cool. If not, you can trade it in to Gamestop for $30 trade in or at least $30 in cash at Amazon.

Based on what I am seeing, it looks like Battlefield 1 and I guess that is ok. I hate to say it but I enjoyed Battlefield 4 and in some cases Hardline more than Battlefield 1. A lot of people are just complaining that there are too many people playing as women and some historical inaccuracies.

Just wanted to include some of the earlier releases (forgot about them til I went on Amazon)
1.) Witcher 3
2.) Middle Earth: Shadow of War - similar to Assassins creed combat/gameplay
3.) Evil Within - good horror game
4.) Dying Light - good zombie action game
5.) Far Cry Primal (woolly mammoths) & 4

Witcher 3 is on my list even though I have it on PC. It is more what I call a "couch game" so am looking forward to playing it on a big screen 4k display. Evil Within 1 and 2 are both on my list. Speaking of horror games the Resident Evil 2 remake will be out in January and haven't made up my mind whether to get it on PC or PS4.

Meh, that stuff doesn't bother me. I mean, it's a video game. lol Some people take things way too seriously. Anyways, I just bought it. I've always enjoyed them so I figured I would just give it a whirl. I still think Battlefield 3 was my favorite overall. Good times playing that one.

I've heard Battlefield is fine. But just fine.

 

[SlammedZero]

So, I'm enjoying Battlefield V. It's not bad. I am having fun with it. Feels kind of like Battlefield 1 though.

On another note, I happened to find a nice glitch the other night. I was in a tank and decided to get out. Once I exited I started falling. I pulled my parachute and ended up in some water underneath the map.

I managed to do all the maps in that back in the day ( hides back under the rock)

Missed it, what channel was it on?
I figured the winner would be Red Dead 2.

 

[Lutonio]

Can't argue with this.

RDR2 has only been out 2 months and the online just left the beta stage

Yes am aware, still a very awesome game though.

It said beat out RdR, Spiderman and Assasins Creed so it was a finalist. Haven't played it yet (Red Dead), but I would go with God of War also. It's the only linear game of the group which is a total flip flop from the older days.

Do you have PSN or Xbox live? The game should ask you when loading up if you want to download the most current rosters for online play but do have to restart your franchise, etc.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Glad to see God Of War won Game of the Year. It should have. It wasn't even close.

I like Red Dead 2 a whole lot. Great, great, game.

But nothing has even come close to touching God of War this year.
