Just loaded the new game. Can’t even connect thanks to full servers. Of course Day One issues are to be expected, but the biggest problem with this is you can’t play singleplayer. You can’t set up your keybinds. You can’t set up your graphics settings. That’s just irritating and pretty shitty design. Always-on connections for the loss.
E: LOL, and this is why there isn’t a gaming “community” and I leave VoIP/in game text chat off. Comments are “Fuck you for trying to play a game by a popular studio.”
It was truly glorious, for BF3 and BF4 I helped run a server and we had that thing full with 64 people from 5pm to 3 am everyday.
I mean if every server in the world was full, though, so you could not play the game until one opened up. Essentially waiting in queue but without any automation. That would have been nuts. The oldest game I remember having a queue to connect was Anarchy Online. Before that, the only kind of queue for a game I saw was waiting for a group to move on from a boss spawn in EverQuest; but that was just player to player etiquette due to the unfortunate design of the game.
