Destructoid gives Battlefield 3 7.5/10
« on: October 26, 2011, 08:22:21 PM »
[float=left][attach=1][/float]Destructoid has posted their review of Battlefield 3 and it's... A little less kind than some of the others.  Single player, gameplay, the battlelog service: All are in their sights on this one and while I haven't played the game myself I have to say their complaints sound like good complaints to me.  As much as I hate to say it something gives me the feeling that COD won this round.  Check it out:

The name of this catch is Battlelog, and it's by far one of the worst ideas in videogame history.
Yeah, from what I've seen I agree with him. Forcing people out of the game to change servers is just too plain dumb.

Fortunately I have Uncharted 3 in the queue for my console gaming. It'll be a much better purchase.

Damn shame though that BF3 is having all these teething problems. It had the potential of being a really good modern war game. Instead it's something...lopsided.

Well maybe if they get enough bad rep, they might get rid of the battle log thing. Maybe even let it interface with steam. DoW dropped LIVE. Maybe EA will see that letting it go to the Steam market will do them more good. Thats just wishful thinking though.

There is enough hype to guarantee they make a good unearned profit off this. Anyways, no skin off my teeth, I won't be buying it so it doesn't really matter. :)

That Jim Sterling fellow has a reputation for attention seeking by giving popular games relatively low scores. Not saying his complaints aren't legitimate in this case (haven't played the game), but it's something to be aware of.

To be fair, most things get 9.9 when they ought to get more around 7.5.  I personally think no game should ever get 10/10.  Perfection is never achieved, only striven for.

This review is crap. This is whining about menus not gameplay.

That same guy gave a perfect score to the game "Deadly Premonition" If you are not aware of it, read here and here.

7.5 is a lot more than it should get, i'd give it a 4

LOLOPINIONS.  Granted, you're not the most objective source, given you hate multiplayer with a scathing passion :P

True, but that doesn't mean the game is bad, it just means EA is a bunch of pricks.

Yeah. EA are a bunch of dicks, and yes the game is awesome. sadly there are those pesky unnecessary services that are required for you to play the game.

This can be by-passed by playing console version, but then you lose the size of the PC battles and the Intense Graphics.

Sounds to me like EA is trying to push the console versions in a way. Also, it is well documented that the people at EA are a bunch of douche-bags.

The fact that EA is patching console before PC says that they are getting a LOT of money to support the console version first. I remember 6-7 years ago when Battlefield 1942 was out and everyone loved EA and Dice, now EA has corrupted Dice in addition to itself.

There really isn't much you can do about that anyway though.

You folks do realize that Battlefield 3 was designed SPECIFICALLY with PC's in mind, don't you?  From all accounts, the console version is having far more problems than the PC version, at least as far as server connectivity goes.

Of course, which means we should be getting the patches first since they'll be simpler. :P

jeez, so much hate toward a game that you haven't even played yet.
If you're that worried about it, rent it or play it at a friend's house before you decide to buy it; make your own judgement on the game.
