Understandable, but we just have to accept it and move on. Madden gets bought up like crazy here in the US and im sure when Euro's look at our best sport game list and seen Madden NFL they say "wtf...American football is rubbish, this list loses all credibility" lol.
You'd think that but there is probably different criteria. I can say with certainty however that the PC and Console versions of BF3 are so different that just cause it won on PC wouldnt mean it should win on Console. Not only the typical PC advantages like graphics, but the maps are smaller and theres only 32 players on consoles. And before anyone gets angry at Dice for that, its cause of that console you love so much. It has so little RAM that it can only show you so many things at once. And to not have the game look like crap and remove destruction 2.0, they have to shrink map sizes and amount of player size. Disadvantage of having like 512 bytes of RAM. Sad considering RAM is so cheap you can buy 8Gbs for $40 for a PC, yet with current Gen consoles your stuck with a pittance.
Lol Steam doesnt = PC. Its a service, if more services want to come out and offer huge sales and discounts and free games (already gotten 2 free games from Origin) then i am more than happy. Do NOT punish Dice for the troubles Steam and EA are having.
First, its been proven Origin isnt a memory hog, they are equal in RAM usage and if anything sometimes Steam uses more. Second, article on this site with the Steam leader "Newell" saying things that do not coincide with a "EA pulls all games off steam cause they want to be exclusively on Origin!" opinion. Third, more ways to get games means more competition, even if the option currently available is great (steam) that doesn't mean adding others to the mix wont make them have to compete harder.
PC gaming will survive without your little boycotts. Anyways EA is so huge and greedy that no matter the size of the boycott they wouldnt acknowledged that they made a mistake and put games onto steam cause of small sales. Steam crybabies are just as bad as console crybabies that you look down on so hard. Get over it...not all games will be on your client, cry me a river you need to create another account and download a new program. Most likely you have a i7 2Tb 8Gb of DDR3 PC anyways, ur PC can handle Origin and you'd need to use that EA account to sign into BF3 anyways even if it was on steam.
Yay, i swear they need to publisize this game like crazy, and on the commercial they need to have a scene where they show all the awards they have won. This game has won so many "best" awards from Comic Con and GamesCon and etc. Might grab some people not familiar with BF interest and make them check it out. It would me if a game popped up i hadnt heard about and i saw it won best in show at comic con/games con and best PC/Console game and best Shooter/RPG/ etc game. Id wonder what all the fuss is about and check it out.
All i have to say to ANYONE that complains about this....this is the side affect of playing on a Console. Im not saying "PC RULEZZZ!!!" Im just saying, consoles have always been behind computers, and currently are very behind, and the biggest reason is their RAM. The PS3 has either 256 or 512mb of RAM, and the 360 is similar. Now with GORGEOUS games coming out that have maps full of customization (destructible etc), that RAM limitation makes the game take a HUGE hit in quality on consoles. BF3 has been the biggest example of this because the game is so gorgeous, has things like destruction and unlimited light sources and huge maps. So the console versions HAVE to be limited compared to their PC counterparts. Side affect of playing a gorgeous huge game on a console.
In going to the site, and even how this article is worded, it appear you cant purchase them for free to save/own...but only view them in their entirety for free. So basically you get to read them all today but not keep them.
Lol one of these reviews...is more biased than the others...one of these reviews...doesnt belong. lol PC gamer...seriously? when your 80 and all the rest are
Kinda a sucky preview. It only shows once and in a small way, the "instinct" ability. Besides that not much happened that was unique from blood money. Not saying blood money wasnt amazing, im just saying if im gonna see leaked gameplay i want to see the stuff that makes the game different. Disapointed with the animations, how he picked up the sculpture and when he smashed it into the guys face. How it popped into his hand and how far his hand followed through when smashing it. But its not the final game so maybe that will be ironed out.
@KatanaVx I dont know about green tracer rounds, but you are right, they arent used by everyone. Typically they are used every other third round (or something similar) in the big truck mounted guns, 50 cals and such. However maybe in the video thats where the tracers were coming from? The humvees might have had mounted 50's
