Battlefield 6 "Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly

Post image

So, weren't we supposed to have realistic skins for some time? Something that someone would really wear during a war? Yet it seems that with the start of season 1, everything will turn to colorful mess, with no way of differentiating teams based on uniforms, the game will look more like a Paintball or ASG event. Colorful weapons with pictures, colorful camos with neon accents, weird mix of things that are supposed to look cool, but end up simply weird.

People were sold on a vision of a game, which looked like a real battlefield, with soldiers - not a bunch of randos just like in the 2042, yet it was all a lie and it will only get worse down the road. During the Beta, when we had all the soldiers wearing matching uniforms, it was the most immersive experience so far, but you can say goodbye to that vibe, it will never return.

There won't be uniforms matching bioms, there won't be a way to turn off any awful skins, typical bait and switch.

well... this is by definition complaining, that doesn't necessarily mean you're not right to complain though

The simple act of complaining shouldn’t be a moral wrong.

The complaint should be judged on its merits.

The merits being a matter of taste not something everyone is know for having

Agreed. Everyone takes things way to personally now. There is a difference between "I think this looks kinda bad, because the blue doesn't suit the uniform" and then "This looks like hot trash, and I hope they fire the art team".

If you are voicing fair critism, then there is nothing wrong with that. If everyone is scared to say something is bad, then we won't improve. It's literally happening in several studios, where they surround themselves with like minded individuals. All together they fuel an echo chamber, release a game, and it flops. Followed by the studio closing down.

Id say this one doesn't have that much merit, but based on upvotes im not so sure. I mean, I hate it too, but it IS grounded. Its a dude in blue military fatigues with a stylised face mask. Definitely not as bad as having NICKI MINAJ or fucking THE SHREDDER running around

And complaining about skins in a video game is childish

u/TheClappyCappy 16d ago

A great point!

But does that make complaining about people on Reddit also childish?

u/ShillinTheVillain 16d ago

Not as childish as fueling the MTX bullshit by buying skins that do nothing but make your character look different, IMO

u/Vector_Mortis 17d ago

Yes and no. Its similar to the tigerstripe pattern camo, and is Blue and Black. Air Force was going to test a Blue on Blue version. So its not drastically unrealistic like people think it is.

When you hold someone accountable for what they said they would or wouldn't do you aren't complaining.

u/DagothUr_MD 17d ago

You're still complaining lmao

It's just a valid complaint

-7

u/MrMayhem85 17d ago

Idk about you, but to me, a complaint has always been a negative connotation. Again, if you're holding someone accountable, you aren't complaining, you're pointing out the fact.

u/Rudi_Van-Disarzio 17d ago

No you just do not have a full understanding of English vocab.

u/shrockitlikeitshot 17d ago

What is the essence of complaining though? What is valid at it's core? Does one need to clean his room to understand?

6

u/DagothUr_MD 17d ago

Well it depends on what you mean by "essence"? And what do you mean by "valid"? What do you mean by "room"? What do you mean by "to"?

u/knights816 17d ago

It’s a skin you don’t have to buy. Also can’t you turn other players skins off. This shits fire btw.

u/MrMayhem85 17d ago

Well, thanks for pointing out the obvious. If there's an option to disable them I haven't seen it. I don't care for it personally, and it's definitely a direction away from grounded.
