I stated playing battlebit and I don’t even consider bothering with mainstream titles anymore. This release is garbage, the last 5 releases have just been progressively worse and worse, like hey even bother?

It feels like I have more fun in 1 game of battlebit than I did over the entirety of my 200+ hours of BO2, which was the last mainstream shooter I played that didn’t feel entirely like a waste of money.

I bought battlebit but the audio didn't work, so I refunded it :(

That’s crazy, I’m playing on linux with no issues hahaha

It is still early access, so if the issue hasn’t been fixed already I’m sure it will be before too long!

Battlebit was one of my faste fastestest refunds. Such a bad game.

As someone enjoying it tremendously, why?

The gameplay is smooth, there is a plethora of maps and modes, teamplay is encouraged but not strictly needed. Mapsize ranges from 16v16 to 127v127.

The only arguement i could see is the low poly graphics and that's like, what did you expect?

Bad graphics, bad gun balance, bad gunplay, bad community, too many unaddressed bugs, reporting system is very bad.

Did you play like, AT launch? Battlebit has by far the best gun balance of any FPS I’ve played in recent memory. Every single gun I’ve used is viable, it just depends on playstyle. After the SMG nerf it’s a wildly even playing field.

What’s your problem with the gunplay? It’s the same as every other FPS game out right now. Staged reloads, handling that makes sense, bullet drop + travel time... literally what is there to complain about here?

I could go on but this is turning into a rant, and I have a sneaking suspicion that you’re some rogue COD stan and I might as well be yelling into a void. Either way it’s valid to like what you like, your tastes just heavily confuse me lol

The majority of the videos on the game are about how bad the game balance is. There should be no surprise that only 2/3s of the reviews are positive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's just not true, the game is at 89% positive. The game has gun balancing problems, but so does every shooter ever. They regularly release patches to shake up the meta.

Why are you using youtube videos and not actual game reviews as a metric for how good the game is? The videos stay up forever, reviews are MUCH more likely to change to reflect changes to the game.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The videos are recent and show issues with the game.

Reviews tend to be put up and almost never changed.

my experience is the exact opposite, but i won’t invalidate yours! end of the day you’re free to enjoy what you want.

i may think your take is stupid and wrong, but it’s still your take to have! lol
