Re: Should You Buy Battlefield 3?


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
I am getting it on the Xbox SPOOK.

T2D, I care about them and a lot of other people do. I know God of War and Unchartered are good games that's why I want them, but I'm not going to spend hundreds of pounds on a PS3 just for those 2 games. I just meant if there was a better point system on the PS3 I might be more inclined to get one and get more games on it, although Xbox Live is far superior for the online experience in general I think anyway so that's probably not going to happen. If I had a lot more money then I wouldn't care, I need to win the lotto....

Ok i understand but personally i was enjoying games just as much before trophies came along and achievements .

If you like trying to get all the achievements then i can see your point,i don't even bother trying to do the achievements in any Cod game never mind every other game i buy on the market.

The only achievements i do unlock are the ones you get from just playing the game.

God of war and Uncharted are not the only reason to own a Playstation Jaxx and there are far more exclusive games i could mention,one thing i will agree on is that the Xbox live service is far superior than the Playstation counterpart but that is to be expected since it's a paid service and another reason why i choose to get MW3 on a 360.

Funny thing is every game i bought about a year ago my preference was always for the Playstation with any multi platform title,now after so many bad Playstation ports been inferior i tend to buy all my games for the 360 and only the exclusive game for the playstation. wink

I am going to be really interested in your thoughts and opinions regarding Battlefield 3 once you get it as i know you prefer this to MW and Cod games in general.

Re: Battlefield 3 Metacritic User scores.


[re: time2die] [link to this post]
 
So we all know im on the fence regarding this Battlefield 3 game so i was taking a look at all the negativity from users on Metacritic.

Now before you Battlefield supporters pipe of im not coming on here slamming the game just curious as to what these people have to say.

There are a lot more people on Metacritic that think the game is awesome but the biggest gripe form those that don't like it is the single player game is rubbish and EA online way of playing it called Origin which most of the PC gamers think is total garbage.

Not been a PC gamer for some years now and not really tied to one publisher such as EA is this Origin as bad as it sounds and what is it that gets your back up if you have been using this system to play Battlefield on your PC.

To be fair it matters not how great a game is there will always be people that will go on sites like Metacritic and dish the dirt,sometimes it may be fair and justified but other times its just pure hatred towards a developer or publisher such as EA or Activision.

I expect the same sort of reviews and moans and groans about MW3 in about 1O days and this thread is not aimed at dishing the dirt on Battlefield just the way it seems to be such a mixed bag of scores from amazing to basically dire single player and online.

Lots of them on there saying it still plays like the beta flaws and all with constant server crashes ,server hackers and terrible hit detection in some cases.

Mate i have bought plenty of games this year that have turned out to be total garbage that is true and if you think I'm doing a lot of humming and harring regarding Battlefield then wait until MW3 is released.

Battlefield 3 and MW3 are 2 of the biggest game releases this year and all i am doing is posting what Battlefield fans are saying about this game.

I dont have the game and I'm not buying it so they are not my opinions just thoughts of other people that have the game and there views on how they think the game turns out.

Yeah i go on about this game and MW3 all the time which is to be expected and also rave on about other games besides these two.

Next week i will probably rave about Uncharted 3 and a week later MW3 good or bad and then some saints row the 3rd.

You have more than likely guessed I'm not in the Battlefield supporters club but when i watched this game about 5 months ago i was more excited to own this than MW3 .

Now after the beta and the reviews and thoughts of others I'm not that interested and thats why i post what others have to say.

As i said in the post most of the peoples reviews of Battlefield 3 are on a positive note and the ones that don't like it are around 10%.

To be perfectly honest mate i repeat myself quite a lot but all i am basically trying to do is keep the gamig forums active and alive because on many occasions you can virtually go a few days on here when nobody posts anything.

So if what i post makes you reply then thats a start isn't it,shame its in the T2D you obviously don't like the game scenario.

Not my problem or fault that i prefer MW games and others prefer Battlefield,i would have very much liked to have gone to a game shop and picked this up tomorrow but because i have never been a great lover of the game and the fact that a few Battlefield veterans don't like it then that has helped me decide.

And don't get me talking about Duke Puke em because i could write a book tongue and yes i believed in the hype and bought the game based on the experience i had with the PC version of the game many years back.

I watched some 720p videos of the optional texture pack, and what a difference. The things like dynamic reflections in car windows and shine off of tiled walls stood out in the beta, with better texture are even more amazing.

Amazon has dispatched game, so maybe this weekend, but as am away until Sunday its no biggie

Think the HD install makes a difference unless your one of those millions that have the basic xbox 360 console with a 4 gig flash drive then your out of luck because it will only install to a hard drive.wink

Any fool buying a console with only 4GB of disk capacity was not looked ahead, just at the price tag there and then.

Given low price of flash, about time that the 4GB XBox got an upgrade to 16 or 32GB and another price cut.

Thats the problem people think they are getting a bargin then realise like my mate who bought one that he now needs more storage such as a hard drive.

Now its costing him more money than actually buying a 250 gig xbox 360 in the first place.
