warm comments on What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?

Most recently Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders.

I think Battlefield 6 is basic enough to capture the stray call of duty crowd, but it's very dumbed down and not at all a Battlefield game.

And Arc Raiders, as I have said in another thread, is incredibly bland. I think thats hyped and popular because it's the first real taste of an extraction shooter for consoles.

Battlefield 6 is just another modern era BF game. They killed the squad mechanic and made the series all about 'Battlefield moments' it's just chaos now.

Arc Raiders, I think is all hype, Extraction shooters are an uncomfortable experience that most players don't enjoy, the honey moon era it's going through at the moment with peaceful single player lobbies is already showing cracks, it'll turn into Tarkov soon.

There's no Battlefield moments is the problem. It's incredibly soulless and basic.

The gunplay is just awful, no gun has identity, they all just feel so similar. Point and shoot, hope the enemies dies before you do. No skill in it anymore.

The maps are so, so, so bad, they have zero flow and are clearly made to try and support every single gamemode, same problem BF4 had, but at least that game executed on a few.

Teamplay, as you say, is completely gone, they want everyone to feel special at all times rather than them having their moment. They could completely remove classes and it would make no difference to how the game plays.

And Arc... yeah, the falloff is inevitable, that's the most generic looter/extraction shooter I have ever played.
