Battlefield Hardline Deluxe Edition – PlayStation 4

These aren’t the droids you are looking for……
This game was ok, i played it for hours in the beginning but I quickly became bored. I can’t quite put my finger on why, I love playing BF4, even today I play BF4 for hours, yet Battlefield Hardline felt like a faked forgery of the Battlefield brand.This gave has features where you earn money and then make purchases, but the purchases were bland and after a while I just didn’t care about buying anything. You get a loadout that you love and you could care less about buying another gun which may be worse than the gun you are using.I would get this game for something to pop in once in a while, but expect a fast food meal, nothing to sink your teeth into.

BattleField For Life
BattleField For LifeI haven’t seen a better multiple player game in ever. The size of the maps, players, weapon and vehicle choices are second to none. Dice an EA know how to make a great game and keep you playing. Don’t get too addicted.

PVE – Don’t bother…
First of all let me just say I’ve only played about 4 hours into the story of this game. This review is only from the single player aspect of the game, and is not reflective of the multiplayer experience. After I finish the story and begin PVPing, if I think the game is worth of additional stars i will update accordingly.I am a huge fan of the entire battlefield series, and I’ve owned every single game, sometimes buying more than one copy to play on PC and PS3. I’ve bought copies for friends too. I was a premium member of both BF3 and BF4 on both platforms, so I think it’s fair to say I am a well established fan.This game misses the high standards set by previous games. There are several disappointing aspects of the game in some key areas, that the other games never had.I’m half way through the story line and dissatisfied.They kinda killed the whole point of the game, its a FPS… without the shooting.During the story, completing a perfect mission means never firing your gun. It is all too much like a simplified Farcry 3 or 4. There is no large open roaming but there is a mission area with roaming guards that you are best to take out one by one by sneaking around and knocking them out or arresting them. It even has alarms that if activated bring in more enemies, but unlike farcry you cant simply use a suppressed rifle to snipe the alarm box, because the suppressor just seems to decrease your damage output, not allow silent kills.In fact using a sniper rifle, suppressed it takes more than one headshot to kill an enemy! So precision sniping is out, and it takes 3-4 body shots to kill as well. Not very fun with a bolt action rifle and several enemies coming to kill you.If you dont want to take the stealth tactic and you want to have a glorious gun battle, well it’s extremely difficult to do because atleast on the hardest difficulty, it takes about 6 pistol or machine gun shots to bring down a bad guy. The higher power pistols (Desert eagle, or large magnum) still take 2-3 shots per kill too. Normally that would be fine, but you have a realistic amount of ammo, about 40-50 rounds for your pistol. So that means you cant really fight more than 5 enemies at a time. The enemies move after you when gunshots ring out, so picking up additional ammo is fairly difficult or even impossible at some points. Yes you have a secondary weapon, and you might be able to use both to get those 5 guys down, but you are going to run out of ammo even more quickly with it.There are many things in general game mechanics that have annoyed me as well, that I never saw in BF3 or 4.For starters the story is terrible so far…It’s just awful, too contrived and far fetched. I wont spoil it, just trust me it’s awful.Realism is missing, in one point you perform a getaway, driving while your partner is shooting, which I thought could be fun at first but I was wrong. The enemies also shoot back at you and drive faster, a bad guy hanging out the window shooting while his car drives through barriers, trailors etc… the guy never so much as ducks in the car. Then the car spins out hits a barrier and explodes…disappointing. Also why is there so much crap on the highway anyway?At a few points in the story, I’ve had no idea what to do next. This was the first thing that annoyed me. I am walking in the hood looking for some guy, and talking with my new partner then she just says “I guess you know your way around here hu?” and I respond something like “not really i guess im a little rusty” and my partner stops walking. That’s it…what do I do? I haven’t found a way to view the current mission objective. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do, and my partner wouldn’t budge. There is nothing on the mini map that even gives a clue. No periodic reminder of the objective either. Just nothing. After I considered restarting this checkpoint because I thought it was a bug I eventually found oh, i just needed to explore, would’ve been nice to know what I needed to do.At a separate point in the story I broke the mechanics a little on accident…You have to watch someone walk through a building and you must identify a certain person, well using my scanner i got ahead of the guy im supposed to watch and found the suspect long before my guy could get to him. Me marking him was apparently some sort of marker, so he moved to a different room from where he was standing. Well when my guy got to where the suspect was originally, he still had the conversation with the empty space. It was disappointing.The graphics in general are pretty good on PS4, but nothing unexpected. When you do get into a shootout, shooting through obstacles is pretty neat. And the gunfire mechanics is really well done. The shotguns especially feel pretty powerful. But even in the graphics there are some noticeable bugs like during a couple cut scenes one or more character has ‘seizure eyes’. Their eyes move back and forth quickly at times.It gets two stars because the gun fire and graphics, but loses 3 based on bugs, lacking general mechanics and terrible story.

It is pretty fast pace and you always have to be on …
battlefield took a different direction than the other war battlefields. This was more of looking into it as a cops point of view. Multi player is actually where it is at for me. It is pretty fast pace and you always have to be on the move. i enjoyed this game a lot. also when i got it in the mail it was on time and in great condition really awesome

Son was impressed with the graphics and thought the game is great

Excellent game shame it wasn’t the right version for this country
