Battlefield V

Fair enough mate. I think what you describe is a £20 game not a £35 game from cdkeys. Just because it's a BF game doesn't compel me to pay a very high price unless the game is special. It's just not special enough from what I can see. Monster Hunter, that's special, it warrants the price tag. BFV is a fraction of that quality.

Whoa now, let's not talk quality on a game that locks to 60 FPS vsync, low res textures, post processing out of the 90s, and no 21:9 support by default... :roflmao:

That's another discussion entirely, but MHW is far from without its faults as a console port. May not bother you, but the technical failings were a constant pain in the backside / deterrent for me!

What it is though is very unique, and the gameplay is great (when it works as intended :norty:). I think that's more what you mean anyway? It certainly stands out, whereas BFV is 'just another FPS'. No argument there! Have really enjoyed my time with it, despite the above

Back on track with BFV, the pricing point is a very valid one indeed. And yeah, I can see many more people jumping in if this were to cost only £20, it does make it easier to forgive the flaws, or at least put up with them. Instead we end up with many people just saying no, and many more sitting on the fence, unsure. There's likely quite a big psychological difference between a game that costs sub £20, and a £40+ release.

I tend to rate AAA £50 games on how long they keep me hooked. ;-)

The last 2 BF I bought I yawned after 20 hours. They were just yawn the same old same old. Even BF1 at a fiver is still same old but runs nicer on today's hardware compared to my old rig with BF4.

And BF3/3/1 all have amazing amounts of nice guns.

MHW just has so much going on and you can play in so many styles, it's ridiculously complex or extremely simple. It is a great game. And it gets over 90FPS on Ultra on a 1080Ti and looks amazing.

That said your points are valid Ben, BF fanboy!
