Err... how do I download this? Got the Premier thing just now.
EDIT: nvm, reboot to Origin did the trick

I feel like their release strategy here is going to backfire. The slow trickle release which initially requires a subscription for the first roll out is just going to kill any potential hype train that would have otherwise net them lots of sales.
I feel like a large amount of potential players will see reviews/streams/social media/etc this week and either:
1. Subscribe to EA access premium for a month, play the game until the sub runs out, unsubscribe and then never bother to purchase the full game.
2. See that to play the game now requires a subscription, decide to wait for official release and then ultimately not buy the game because the hype has died down by the time the actual release date rolls around weeks later.
True fans of the series will of course buy this iteration as usual but I really feel like EA will lose out on a lot of sales from buyers on the fence or impulse purchasers from this release method.

10 hours is alot of unlocks.
Specially if you find a gun that you really like.
And seriously 15 bucks isnt that bad if you really want to get the game early....and whatever else is on premier.
Dont see why it now suddenly matters, Access had been arround for some years already And the full release is not weeks later. Its in 12 days.
Explosions and shit after planes went by had me like FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
Cant replay the intro video anymore. Had to Alt F4 because it lagged so hard, and now i cant watch it again. That sucks.
So far yeah its solid. But we dont know what the chokepoint map/locations are.
Game looks nice also. Nice and sharp. Better then BF1? Dont know. They just looks different so difficult to compare.
If they're anything like me I find the whole concept of watching other people play games unappealing, just something I never grew up with or adapted to
Thanks I have it preloaded on my X. I thinking of going HAM this time and buying the new Sony A9F, lol.
I hate games that do that.
Need to be able to see/play prologues over.
I believe the microtransactions in this are purely cosmetic.....its a first person shooter you cant even see your soldier so i wouldnt even be pissed at the cosmetics they have in this game.
Nice
I hope enemies are a little easier to see in darker areas now, I think dice mentioned they were working on that
Find someone who isnt a "character" scroll down and find someone who doesnt put themselves as the main focus of the stream. I do it just to get a sense of a game if I am on the fence about buying
Some streamers can be really good, which is impressive to watch.
Some streamers can be highly educational, which is useful if you want to learn the game.
Some streamers can be really funny, which is entertaining.
However, the streamers of Battlefield just play the game. They aren't mechanical gods, they aren't experts and they aren't funny. Most of them are just random dudes playing the game, nothing more.
You can see why it matters in the last two pages of this OT. People are saying things like "I have no other reason to subscribe to EA access other than to play BFV early". The impact of the game's release is deadened by the huge gap in release dates. We'll see a deluge of media on it for the next few days and then the world will move on. From a marketing perspective, I would think a company would want players to be able to purchase the game they just read a review about or saw on a stream.
As an example, I'm a casual Forza Horizon fan. To play Forza Horizon 4 early, I signed up for a 14 day free trial to the Xbox game pass. By the time my 14 days were up, I had had my initial fill of the game and due to launch issues with the game, I've decided to wait to purchase FH4 until it's on sale at a later date. Its possible I won't buy FH4 for another 3-6 months or maybe even never at all.
Imagine if Bungie released D2 12 days early to people paying for a game pass subscription. The hype on release of that game was enormous and millions bought in. Within 12 days, all of the ugly issues associated with the D2 release had surfaced and people were eviscerating the game in the media. If people had to either subscribe or wait 12 days for D2, it would have had a significant negative impact on sales. In fact, the PC launch of D2 was a total dud because of the delay and subsequent bad media.
I'm a huge BF fan and will be buying this game regardless. I'm just concerned they will lose out on a lot of sales.
On the beta I felt like DICE got in touch with Nolan to borrow his Dunkirk sound library.
You gotta hand it to DICE. They did an amazing job after the messed up reveal.
Spectating games while I do a few other things. This is truly Battlefield at it's purest and I love it.
Dont think it will matters. And like i said it happens for years now. Doesnt mean you are wrong tho. I have a different opinion on it. :)
I'm still having a hard time adjusting to no 3d spotting :(
I miss those pizza slices on the mini map.

Damn this map looks great. Jumping from the plane, taking out the AA guns.
