=VG= Murderface0151 Posted November 7, 2011 at 12:34 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 at 12:34 PM +1something that really hurts BF3 is the way you open the game.. so complicated and glitchy. couldn't have taken a worse move if they had tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted November 7, 2011 at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 at 05:45 PM Well recieved from critics.....The critics of the game I listen to are players, and many of them have problems, some still.I also hear rumors about many who pre-ordered and had more than payment to Origin for the game, and that when they complain about this overcharging/duplicate charging, they come back to find they have been banned by Origin from every Origin game, and their accusations are called lies.

=VG= Outlanders Posted November 7, 2011 at 07:55 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 at 07:55 PM I don't think it's Dice's fault.EA got the money so, developers more like slaves nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terremer Posted November 7, 2011 at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 at 09:09 PM =VG= Outlanders LAN_WROTE ...I don't think it's Dice's fault.EA got the money so, developers more like slaves nowadays.EA is notorious for this kind of shit. Activision is no better, hell, most producers are just in it for the money. The only goal of the developers is to make a good game. However, when you have a producer at your throat every minute of the development process, you cant always achieve that goal. It said in the article that they switched the engine halfway through development..what you see here is DICE trying to make it their way and getting shafted by EA. They wouldnt just randomly switch from PC engine to console engine (that seems like it'd be a shitload of work to convert everything mid-job), and it said they had to meet a time restraint (EA).Oh, and Origin is purely EA trying to steal market share from Valve (Steam) and other digital distrubutors...i don't support Origin or battlelog one bit.ive enjoyed the game, but yeah, it could be better. I feel like its a vast improvement over BC2 gameplay wise, but its still got that same kind of feel where everyone camps around, abuses certain loadouts, and such.lol this is turning into a fucking essay..well..as a last note, i'm really fucking excited for the Karkand map pack...hopefully it'll bring some nostalgia into BF3...things like the karkand pack are dice's way of saying "Sorry about the console shit, but heres some BF2 nostalgia for you!".lol one more thing...this is the reason that im not having anything to do with game development...i'm pursuing a degree in computer science, but i dont want to have to deal with this shit!

suomikeizari Posted November 8, 2011 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 at 04:04 PM all the hate towards DICE on BF3BLOG... It's not DICE that forced this thing thru, its EA.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted November 8, 2011 at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 at 05:15 PM Yea, this is an administrative problem from EA, not DICE and their development team. The got raped just as bad as the people who were charged twice for the game, who upon calling to complain, were promptly kicked out of the sleezy motel room without even getting cab fare or a decent chance to reapply their lipstick and eyeliner.This is just like what happened to Indiana Jones in Peru.!fuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
