Man Hardline looks fucking terrible, on multiple levels.


Also it makes me want to re-install Driver:San Francisco.


Also... WOOP WOOP

I don't even know why they bothered releasing it once it missed holiday, unless they simply had too much money invested not to. Hardline was nothing but a half-assed cash grab meant to fill a hole in EA's 2014 holiday lineup for "modern military shooter."

I imagine they'll buy off a bunch of streamers to scream and hoot about how it's the next Jesus (like Wildstar) and then after a week or two it will vanish.

I think they wanted it far away from battlefront that is why they released it now

How to get around controversy BF Hardline edition:

You get more points for arresting guys instead of just taking them down. Then you ignore their rights anyway.

Also this game looks bad. Does not seem fun to play at all.

I really want to see how Naughty Dog would handle a buddy cop game. I think they would knock it out of the park.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think I like BF Hardline...

 

[Xater]

It's all part of the balance

Things like this make me reconsider if games are really art.

 

[newjeruse]

Cool that they put random white guys in the hood to racially de-charge the game.

GBeast studio update

 

[Patryn]

Wow. Just started watching the Hardline QL and the game seems about as morally repugnant as I thought it would be. Seriously, Battlefield should have never tackled cops, because it really doesn't fit what that series is.

 

[strafer]

Battlefield must be the only game with fucks in every sentence.

 

[LurkerPrime]

GBeast studio update

Meh.

Studio GBEast isn't the same since Alex murdered table-chan.

Hah, I can't believe Jeff got the middle finger spot on like his first one. Seems pretty lucky.

[The_Hitcher89]

Anyone else getting massive frame drops in the player recently? Happening no matter what I do with the settings

edit: hmm, seems to run fine in IE

 

[Aaron]

Hardline's single player just looks like long stretches of boring.

Looks like a job for Time Allen.

Speaking of....Anyone else see that Tim Allen post in the 'Little known celeb facts' thread in OT? I was instantly hoping someone sent an email to bombcast and of course I'm too lazy to do it myself.

 

[Teddified]

I could see myself getting BF Hardline down the line for cheap. As long as reviews show that the story is mostly ok, and fun. I don't think I'm really interested in BF MP(or any really) much anymore though so SP being good would be the only reason for me to buy it in like a year at a cheap price.

Maybe the star wars game could change that, but I'm not gonna touch that game at launch.

I'm going to see how people take to the campaign as BF4's campaign felt like it was made by 3 drunken garbage cans with a budget,

the online alpha and beta were both interesting but they both just made me want to play BF4 online instead.

 

[Corgi]

with how fast BF4 dropped in price on PC. will check out hardline when its $10 in a month or 2.

 

[kvk1]

Tim Allen is on GAF?

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

 

[KingKong]

good lord, who do they get to write the dialogue in these games

 

[KnightHart]

I think I like BF Hardline...

Yeah I'm kinda with you there. The single-player looks alright... I guess. But it at least it looks more interesting to play than what we got in BF3 and BF4. Hell, I put somewhere near 200 hours into BF4 and I enjoyed playing the BF Hardline beta so it almost seems like a no brainer to pick it up at some point.

Whoop whoop

 

[Myggen]

Now I'm imagining how three drunken garbage cans would act in different situations.

Heh, I only need to beat the Campaign of BF4 to get the platinum for it. Because of the save issues I didn't mess around with it when it launched. And I just can't seem to bring myself to start it because of how bad it seemed. I'll probably do it eventually since I'm a crazy person and since I own BF4 digitally.

Was, but got banned for dropping his knowledge on what women want.

I played through it about a month or two ago and didn't have any save issues on the PS4. Just know that the campaign is pretty bad and that it might have the worst checkpointing system for a FPS in recent memory due both to the lack of them and where they're occasionally placed.

also, there's a pretty big callback to BF3 so i guess you might get something out of that if you played BF3

I can't wait for the stormtroopers in Battlefront to curse up a storm!

Yeah I'll do it eventually, but I just started up Fallout 3(for the first time) recently while I was already in the middle of another game so I'll probably be backed up for quite awhile and have no enthusiasm to dig back into BF4.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I really like the idea of Hardline's single player, but this isn't a battlefield game at all.

I'd like to see EA take some of the concepts here and make like a Law and Order/CSI (episodic would work great in this kind of situation) kind of game since they have the budget to make a really flashy and cool product.

But that would also involve good writing....

 

[ReginaldXIV]

Drew fighting The End is going to be hilarious. It would be even more hilarious if he doesn't finish him in the episode and then they come back to record after a week and he dies of old age.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

i wonder if battlefront will have the new lightsabers

 

[BreezyLimbo]

guys should I get Chinese food or pizza(pepperoni and pineapple) today? It's very important and the bombcast talking about pizza is making me have second thoughts

Chinese.

I've been jonesing for some Kung Pao myself.

Well if you're considering pineapple on a pizza, you might as well feast on the flesh of the innocent like the monster you are.

 

[Owlowiscious]

So Chinese, huh? That means I have to actually get out of the house And I'm feeling laaaaaazy. CHINESE IT IS. Now I'll be able to properly watch the Hardline QL.

Get a pizza with just sausage. Show the world that it can be done.

Reward yourself with a large container of Hot & Sour Soup for the exhausting act of leaving your house.

You've earned it.

 

[Myggen]

At least playing that Run the Jewels song during that moment was a pretty inspired choice, Battlefield Hardline.
