I don't think it's that good, the number of bugs are almost break the game

And the most retarded thing about the game despite already releasing a 500mb 'day one' patch is that the game is so retardedly broke. its more broken then the god damn beta...

weapons need rebalancing. - Pistols are going to get some serious rebalancing soon as they are 350% more fucking lethal then any other gun in BF3 in close quarters. no joke...you can play a whole game using just a pistol and you'd just rape shit up.

and maps are still as glitchy as hell. METRO is the worst offender. that map is like fucking quick sand - you fall through holes in the floor and you cant get out of it. and that makes RUSH on that map really really stupid as there are supply men on the opposing side who deliberately get them selves jammed under the map near one of the MCOMs so they just mow you down as you run past BECAUSE YOU CANT SEE THEM.

and theres no joystick support as yet....but hey - it works perfectly fine if you can hook an xbox controller upto your pc in place of the joystick.........In an interview done by IGN or Nvidia - Devs said "how hard could it be?" -- Exactomundo Mr Dev - Really how hard can it bloody be! you said that 2 weeks before the game was released, and since its gone gold - you still havent fixed the problem...how hard can it be indeed.


YES - **BrOkEn** in every sence, essence and meaning of the word. For a game that was so hyped up -its still worser then the bloody beta when released.

/rant

Camping and hit detection is still a huge issue with the game. hit detection has improved since the beta. but i still got killed a few times by an RPG that flew around a 45' corner that i was using as cover and killed me anyway as confirmed by my 3 other clan mates who were crouched in front me within kicking distance. None of them died or took any damage despite being in such close proximity - I just suddenly exploded for no reason

blah blah blah moan bitch bitch nag nag moan moan Origin bitch bitch bitch moan battlelog moan moan moan - the usual stuff.

------


the game is still fun despite this but only when youre playing with mates

Well after playing Forza 4 for a a while i thought i'd tell you how it's different from GT5

PRO's
+Some tracks look much better then GT5 (Although the same is true in reverse)
+The game gives you a lot of free cars
+The Kinect head tracking thing works really well
+The game encourages you to stay loyal to manufacturer's by offering free upgrades and lots of cash for manufacture levels
+Photo mode goes up to 8 Megapixels


Con's
-Game has much less cars
-Lots of cars are in fact DLC
-Game borders on being so easy it almost ruins it (i won a race by 18 seconds on the hardest difficulty level in a car the same spec as one of the opponents, and it was only a 3 lap race)
-Jeremy Clarkson is in the game much less then advertised
-The new Autovista mode is actually disappointing, in reality it looks and feels like the photo mode on NFS Underground 2 (for those who remember that)
-The soundtrack is much worse then GT5 and even the old Forza 3
-A lot of the games races revolve around the car classing system which means they all eventually start to feel really similar

Forgot to mention that Forza 4 also has very questionable Physics in on certain maps, although they are quite good on others, not sure why this is

EDIT:I find the bugs in BF3 are largely dependent on the server your on, and whilst i'm talking about those, does anyone else's quick match button keep sending them to empty servers

Double EDIT: Have you had that thing where BF3 keeps pulling you back to the same spot every time you move more then a few feet away from it

No for quickmatch and yes for the 'pull back' thing...thats one of the main things in the game that gets me killed.

I think its somewhat down to lag - but the only servers i join are only EU ones so my lag cant be that bad.

It tends to happen more if im sprinting across the map. Operation firestorm 64player MP ftw - More players then vehicles which means most of the team spend most of the time sprinting 5mins across the map between capture points. It all gets boring after a while.

I wish they still had commanders in game so you could still request vehicle drops.

The amount of games that come out in the past few months that are really fucked up and broken is ridiculous. Day one patches? MAN was it really that hard to spend another week and make the game playable?

@cheesy- I dont think all the races where stuck to certain classes some of them are like hot hatch races ect. Its always been a bit of a challenge to keep a car in a certain index while improving performance for a certain class or type of race. The 2 games to me felt different; i dont own a PS3 so i buy Forza 4 because thats what i have, you bought GT5 because you have a PS3; whatever im not really a hater i dont think either game is shit i would play either.

My mate refuses to use Libre office because he is "familiar" with excel. I personally think Libre office is just as good if not a tad better, even the layout is similar. My point is, it winds me up when people are just set in their ways like that.

EDIT: LOL same tigger, i was really looking forward to playing BF3 but now im kinda glad ive been forced to wait because my pre order was cancelled. Cheesy i didn't notice the variations you have seen on different tracks, i thought it was pretty consistent but ill give it another go.

i have both consoles so i own both:laugh: , i got to level 44 in the last Forza, and will probably end up somewhere near level 100 in this one, i am also at a significantly high level in GT5

that was just a comparison of the games, i have both, i think they're both great, i just happen to find GT5 a little more interesting at the moment,it's just a lot more polished then Forza 4, which may change if/when they release an update

i don't take sides in racing games, i've owned every single Forza and Gran Turismo title, and most of the NFS titles, and for the most part they were all great

one thing that does irritate me though is the amount of DLC and other stuff (XBOX Live related mostly) Forza requires me to buy, and that makes Forza significantly more expensive in the long run, for questionable benefits

I understand what DLC has to offer...but its stupid selling you a driving game with hardly any cars and telling you to buy the rest after you already paid for the game....

Its like going to a car showroom, buying a car and the salesman only gives you the steering wheel, because the car has been dismantled into 'packages' which you need to buy all of them and have some one assemble it for you so you can actually drive it.


Im against DLC like that.
Most of those cars were probably originally part of the game anyway, but they thought they can charge you £5 per car which comes with 2 extra special paint jobs to choose from so people can tell what a colossal idiot you are from the starting line.

the worst part is they not only put it in the menu , they even let you get to the buy screen, so after you've decided what car you want, what colour you want it, and how you want to pay for it( you can use Microsoft points of course, because paying money to have a car you'll eventually get given for free is really worth it ).you are redirected to a screen asking how you want to purchase the dlc, and if you want to subscribe to a season pass

well... If you could unlock the ALL the cars by getting achievements and stuff then thats fine. fair play if someone wants to jump the queue but i only buy DLC If I really need to or if its cheap.

I bought BC2:Vietnam because it only cost me £5 instead of £10 which it was previously. Map packs - that would depend on the maps themselves, how many maps are there and how much it is - not paying £5 for 3 reskinned maps that originally came out of a much much earlier iteration of the game *cough* CoD *cough* Brecourt *cough*

When i was still putting some serious time into guildwars I used to buy their limited edition costumes time to time during special events. £5-8 a time, but i was bored and some of the costumes looked really really good.

Otherwise, Say no to DLC....Map packs should be FREE and given to players as a thank you for buying the game like they were years ago. At least make it so players can DONATE money instead of just straight out charging for map packs or other DLC.

I'm sure if players thought the DLC was worth their money they would donate.


I recently downloaded a musicians FREE albums (Keith Merrow) I downloaded 3 of his albums and i donated £10 after listening to them a few times.

thats how it should be - If you like the content then please donate.

I was actually planning on going raid soon but I think an ssd is more likely now :(

on a completely unrelated question
does Anyone know how much it costs to rent out a cinema screen for a few hours?

edit:the idea is to rent out a cinema screen, connect up a pc or ps3 and play bf3 or another game on it

I didnt know you had both consoles Cheesy.
Anyway i find that Forza has lots of cars but its mainly quality over quantity, most of the cars in GT5 are premium or standard and standard is ripped right from GT4. To bump up the amount of cars lots of them are just slight differences.

They focused a lot on the lighting this year in Forza, that was a design choice by Turn 10. The mods effect all of the characteristics of the car, an exhaust mod for example will effect the weight and performance characteristics.

Its pretty shitty that Turn 10 make a ton of DLC and make you pay a premium for it, even that they know only a few will buy it. In reality they want you to wait a year and re buy the game of the year with the DLC included. A shitty tactic but its like Borderlands, which ended up cheaper to buy the game of the year with the DLC included, rather than buy DLC separate.

EDIT: The way DLC works in FORZA is you buy the DLC and it unlocks the car in game, you still have to buy the car in game using in game currency but you sometimes get those GIFT cars that they gift to you with cool decals and stuff.

Nah i dont know if a cinema would let you rent out a screen unless it was a local small cinema. Not even sure if you could hook up a console to a cinema projector, if it had those connections or not i have no idea. Im sure someone would find that really sad but i think it would be fun especially getting split screen on the go. The sound quality interests me more than the actual screens.

^^^ Merged ....... It's all in a days work :)

On a different note, sold the freebie 570 for £225, bought another 560Ti, namely the MSI Twin Frozr II, now I have only used ATI over the last 3 years but I have to say this card is awesome, faster than my 6970 with the Gelid (flashed from 6950), I run that 24/7 at 920, although it will do 940 for benching, am running this 560 at 1030 and it gives me 6 FPS more in World of tanks with less heat and power consumption for about 70 quid less..... highly recommended, in fact it surpasses stock 570 performance by a bit at these speeds and totally silent.

£158 for one here http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asu...-bt-shop-online-157-98-shipped-1047499?page=2 if you want to save about £20-£40 on what places like ebuyer are selling it for

and it's Pre-overclocked with a good cooler

Nah i dont know if a cinema would let you rent out a screen unless it was a local small cinema. Not even sure if you could hook up a console to a cinema projector, if it had those connections or not i have no idea. Im sure someone would find that really sad but i think it would be fun especially getting split screen on the go. The sound quality interests me more than the actual screens.

this is where the idea came from

Yeah, i've never actually seen the problem with double or triple post's, it's not as if they take up that much more screen space or something
