Battlefield 3 - Page 105

Uber_Tiny · Oct 24, 2011, 02:18 AM

I'm surprised it got that score from everything he said was wrong. It's like a passive aggressive review and from what I just read it sucks, but it's great because of x,y,z.

He kept referring to the MP being awesome and that's what the game is really about. It seems as if they pointed that review on the MP and not what the review was supposed to be about. That or EA said write it like this or else, which I wouldn't pass by them.

IGN - 9.0
Gametrailers - 9.2
Both for the PC, both complaining about the singleplayer.

Chubz · Oct 24, 2011, 02:25 AM

What is it with so many of today's reviewers and the complete lack of information they provide? I feel like what they said was what I'd known about the game for many months now. I'd like to hear more about how it compares to past Battlefield titles, how large the maps are in comparison to oldies, how the netcode and hit detection were, and much more.

8.0 Presentation
The multiplayer’s robust, the browser-based launcher works well, but those who don’t play online won’t find much meat in the other modes.

LOL I BUY BF3 FOR THE SP

Quote:

9.5 Sound
You’ll hear every bullet whizzing by your head, and the crash of rubble all around you.

MW2 got a 10

Quote:

9.5 Graphics
Frostbite 2 shines in multiplayer, single-player, and co-op.

MW2 also got a 10 for the graphics.

Quote:

9.5 Lasting Appeal
Multiplayer unlocks will keep you chasing the dragon for months.

Take a wild guess what MW2 got.

KAC · Oct 24, 2011, 02:39 AM

Purchased from Amazon for 50 smokes. Should've gotten in earlier at 42. Oh well.

**nutcrackr** · Oct 24, 2011, 02:39 AM

IGN reviews are often bad in terms of information. This one not much above the standard I guess at least he mentioned some things he liked. Better than BC2's review, barely.

Dave · Oct 24, 2011, 02:40 AM

sandbags look better in the gametrailers review

Dave · Oct 24, 2011, 02:44 AM

personally i'd rather see some benchmark/image quality reviews.

edit: i must say it is nice to see PC reviews coming out first. maybe the console boys will join the glorious pc gaming master race now.

The gamespy review said the commo rose was next to useless

All these reviews seem to have been done over 3 days with EA representatives and other reviewers filling the servers.

KAC · Oct 24, 2011, 03:12 AM

Hey gays, what is commo rose. lol I don't know.

Edit: NVM. ****ing acronyms.

Mw2 was also released 2 year ago, black ops did not get the all 10s treatment.

nah, cause it would require them to upgrade PCs, and grandma won't be happy shelling out cash for PC upgrade if she JUST bought them the game...

I wonder if the sp is as bad as they claim or if it simply was not cranked up to 11 100% of the time like cod.

**nutcrackr** · Oct 24, 2011, 05:52 AM

Well it's probably similar quality to BC2, which was pretty crap imo. Seems they don't have the wacky humour in this one.

Fuku2 · Oct 24, 2011, 05:58 AM

I kind of liked Bad Company 2 single player.
Yes, BF3 seems like on rails a little too much just like BC2. Shuffled down a path over and over again.

I didn't really have too much of a problem with this in BC2.
What are you going to do? Take over a village and be told to take out some tanks up ahead to secure the next objective only to veer off the path to buy some mangoes in a mini-game that lets you quibble over the price?

It's a game.

I agree the use of quick-time events should be lessened. Just let me at the game with my own skills, however crappy they might be.

demo · Oct 24, 2011, 06:39 AM

Yeh I didnt mind BC2 SP either, but I thought MW1 for instance was better.

BF3 SP will be ok, at least better than BC2 and Blops imo and good enough to play through and get a feel of the game for MP, along with nice shiney graphics.

Have any of the reviews mentioned the extra graphics settings, iq and performance?

Looking at your specs, I don't think you need to be asking.

Fuku2 · Oct 24, 2011, 06:49 AM

demo · Oct 24, 2011, 06:55 AM

Well I just wanted to know about tessellation and improved iq etc. and if it looked any better than the beta really.

Did you not play the alpha or the beta?

edit: I guess you did

I'm sure it will look better that what we have seen.
Cut down on the choppiness, improve some of the bad textures. and other stuff/

I hope.

demo · Oct 24, 2011, 07:07 AM

Yes, I was wondering if it looked any better than the beta though, I thought I heard it was to have extra options/higher level of iq included in the final game?

Fuku2 · Oct 24, 2011, 07:10 AM

I can't really answer that until tomorrow.
I think it might but from what I've played it's pretty good already.

Mangler · Oct 24, 2011, 07:18 AM

Hmm, I better get the 360 version, since that's where you will find all the skilled players.
