I love PvE, in fact I ONLY play PvE titles where they are designed to be played alone, with bots, on the same maps as competitive MP. But, this sounds more like playing single player story driven missions which are always linear and hand held, not for me...too boring with zero replay value.

On another note - who exactly was this video made for, a bunch of 12 year olds?...I guess that's who makes up the majority of their market now because as far as I'm concerned this is an insult to my intelligence.

Why Bethesda wishes to cross this line and force Nvidia users to not purchase their new game is far beyond my understanding. But all I can do is promise them this: if there is any technical performance disadvantage for Nvidia/Intel machines over AMD based machine then I will surely not be buying Starfield. it is THAT simple.

If they want to charge me half price vs what AMD players will pay so that I'm willing to put up with lower performance then that's another issue to be considered, but I'm sure that's not the case.

After reading some of these reviews and also having played the demo both times they released it...I have to say that I simply cannot believe these to be honest reviews. They MUST be paid adverts. The game, IMO, is pathetic...in terms of physics, mechanics and being a satisfying experience. I could not believe just how bad it felt to play on PC.
Simplistic? Umm, that would be way too forgiving of a term to describe it how it felt to play this game. I prefer to use the word PAINFUL.
I have zero respect for the people who printed these mostly positive reviews. It just really disgusts me.

Trust me when I say that for gaming adults, the only way you could consider this trash fun is if you are sitting in a waiting room waiting for your doctor's appt., or sitting in your car waiting for your wife to exit the pharmacy. It should be free to play, and it should only be available on mobile platforms...period.

A generous offer, and certainly appreciated.
It's a shame that other publishers don't stand behind their work like this. I'm impressed by this company, Eagle Dynamics.
Thanks guys & much respect!

Hell, I think I would probably get this when the price comes down a bit just to play with the bots

Umm, what bots? There has been no announcement that bots will be in the game.

I've actually been one of the minority waiting for well over a decade now for bots to make a return to BF MP maps and the confirmation that there will be no SP campaign (thank god, because a linear hand holding trout pond is not my idea of something worth paying for) is actually a step in the right direction in getting those bots back (ala BF2142).

If they're doubling the size of the maps, then it could work that way...yes. But this is not something I am aware of. If the map sizes are not significantly larger then its just a matter of mathematics where you're sticking twice the amount of players into the same size maps and making them fight over smaller sectors now...think of Domination in COD, then make the map 5x larger so you can add more ABC capture points in various zones or sectors. The point is, once you arrive at the zone where you want to start capturing it will no longer play like the Conquest of old. Again, because you are vastly increasing the amount of players on a similar amount of total map area.

But, if they substantially increase the map area size then I could see your point. But I doubt that will be the case due to serious performance issues.

@fuijiJuice

No, every BF game in Conquest mode has always had only 1 capture point (per sector of the map). Now there will be multiple capture points PER SECTOR, with multiple sectors. So for instance instead of capturing point A, B, C, D, E...you will now be capturing points A1,A2,A3;B1,B2,B3;C1,C2,C3, etc.

This sort of change obviously means alot more action and chokepoints per map (helooo McFly, COD wannabe?)...which to me sounds as if the BF franchise is messing with a game mode which has always worked. Why fix it if it was not broken? I just prey this new Conquest variant is optional and that they leave in the traditional way of playing this mode. Taking out or removing the original way of playing Conquest is a nail in the coffin for sure.

Reading about how the new Conquest mode is now going to be made up of multiple capture points instead of just 1 leads me to believe that the action will be much faster than previous BF games and perhaps more COD'ish than ever before? Was not happy to read about this really. In fact there's no way in heck I will be pre purchasing anything at all at this point.

I've also been waiting for them to put bots back into private matches, so there's PvE on all the multiplayer maps (friendly and enemy on a locally hosted server so you can play small matches with friends against the bots on all the MP maps).

Yes, but please put the bots back in the game...really miss playing PvE in BF on MP maps.

1 word for this video tells me all I need to know about the developers work ethic: LACKADAISICAL
Guess I'll be taking this one off my list of intriguing things to keep an eye on since the developer doesn't have the ability to sell a bottle of water to a man dying of thirst in the desert.

Same here...if a game can't do PvAI in a multiplayer environment then I don't buy.

Nice pre-order deal, but do they have anything better on offer for consumers WITH a brain? You know, like pre-ordering for a lower price than it will be after it's released?

You'll also notice no mention of bots for off-line team deathmatch.

...if cheap, lazy developers can't be bothered then I won't be either.

when they put the bots back in (ala BF2) I'll buy back into the series, but until that day comes I just can't be bothered.

should be called call of unreal tournament since that's who they're stealing from...15-18 year old tech, wow exciting...im pumped? pfft!

Nope...I really DO NOT "dig" action driving. I dig SIMULATED driving with SIMULATED physics. This looks as if it's going to be a hit with the 10-15 year olds.

I'd much rather spend my money on a TDU3 (with TDU1 physics or better), thank you.

...would have bought it 6 months ago at full price if it had bot support (like so many thousands have asked for through the years).

No bot support = no sale

"Bots? You sir, need to be waterboarded."

...and there it is folks, the next generation of political genious' coming your way. How refreshing...so what's next on your list of ways to punish those who aren't your mirror image...maybe the gas showers?

...moron

I am fine with no SP. Just give me MP modes with bots.

Agreed 100% - a single player "campaign" for a BF title is simply too far away from it's roots and it's core gameplay mechanics. The SP portion SHOULD always be the Conquest maps from MP with BOTS.

is there coop mode in this, where you can play against bots on an LAN by yourself?
