How the hell is that "good stuff" zh1nt0? Damnit. I should have been playing this last week.

In warmer and fuzzier news (unless it just makes you feel old):

Battlefield 1942 is ten years old today

You'll know when it's out, because you'll have to download something.


That's all I'm saying, yo. If you didn't download something when Origin started...then you ain't playing NODDIN'.


Me, I'mma gonna go back to my game, m'kay?

That fact that you are all getting wet panties about AK coming out tomorrow means that you have all subscribed to the EA travesty which is 'Premium Player'. Apart from the fact that this means that you are all sucking piss from EA's big sweaty root, it means that you get to play AK 2 weeks before men of principle such as myself get to play it. Talk about splitting the community.

Admittedly a part of me is tempted to swallow the blue pill and purchase a 'Premium' account to get access to AK, but I dont think I could stomach having the Badge of Shame of 'PREMIUM PLAYER' appear next to my username. Another part of me is tempted not to bother buying AK at all and adding EA to the list of publishers whose games I will refuse to buy, which is basically any publisher forcing me onto some kind internet based DRM and/or thrid party platform in order to use thier product.....which these days is basically all publishers.

I have over 400 hours in BF3. Paying DICE and extra $50 for premium, in thanks for those hundreds of hours of great gaming, is fine by me.


DRM?

Really?


Can you troll more?:laugh:


Mad because you don't got premium? GET ANOTHER JOB!!! Me, I'mma gonna enjoy the game I gladly paid $100 for.



:roll:



HOw about all those WoW players paying $15 a month for YEARS!!! lol. money is too important to too many people.

I'm pretty sure you need to swallow a different kind of pill:

I was annoyed from the first few words but you really lost me at "men of principle". Total overreaction.

Money is not the issue. Corporations acting like the harbingers of the New World Order is the issue. All this Origin and PREMIUM B$ is just another small step down the nefarious path in which mainstream video gaming is going......

I dunno about you, but I enjoy my games, and don't let little issues like that ruin my fun?

If I want something, I gho and get it, and if it has a cost, I pay it gladly, becuase that cash feeds someone else?


Perspective is everything.


LONG LIVE THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

Man this escalated quickly (already posted a meme, so just going to say this one). harbingers of the new world order? seriously?

If you have a problem with Origin, BF3, or Premium, it's simple, vote with your wallet. And you already have... you own BF3, which means you use Origin. So don't come preaching in here trying to judge us when you're as much of a sheeple as anyone else.

I can't argue with you there, but you might as well get rid of you computer since sweet little Billy Gates is at the top of the global eugenicist heap.

Wow I thought you overreacted before. Even as a basic "consumer getting the shaft" issue Premium is nowhere near worth getting one's panties in a twist. Bringing shit like global politics into it just makes you look like a nut job.

Dude gaming has been going down this path for a long time with the Activition and EA and their business tactics. Get over it. If you don't like it don't play the games. Like Kurgan said. Vote with your wallet. its the only way in corporate environment. You gave them your money, so that is like saying yes I am okay with this. Now they are laughing all the way to the bank.

If I want something, I gho and get it, and if it has a cost, I pay it gladly, becuase that cash feeds someone else?

I work offshore and everytime I come home and want a game of BF3, I am invariably faced with some big fkn 3GB download containing a big pile of add-on pack data which I may or may not want to purchase and of course, also including a massive list of so-called 'fixes' which acctually do nothing to improve the game but instead just changes everything around, forcing me to have to re-discover my preferred kit configurations all over again. Naturally, before I even get the pleasure of having to relearn the game again, I am faced with the inevitable problems getting the p.o.s. to even start up thanks to the new patch etc etc. Life is too fucking short and I am getting pretty fkn agitated by this point, but when I read that only PREMIUM players get to play the new expansion pack upon its release date, an expansion pack which I had plans to buy (and probs still will), I feel that EA has stopped slapping me around like a bitch and has proceeded to ram a poker up my arse saying 'give us yer money....giv us yer money u dirty peon bitch....go on, all your friends are 'PREMIUM'! too poor are you? hahahahaha Loser, giv us all yer fkn money'.

It leaves a very sour taste in the mouth.

Believe me, I do whatever I can to avoid contributing to Billy Gates' global eugenicist antics....But yes, Billy Gates has got us all by the balls. Of course, you can always use Linux but best of luck with cross compatibility with virtually the rest of the functioning business and personal computer world.......and of course....no gaming on Linux.

Patience is a virtue. ;)

Funny thing is, we have a little group of daily players here on TPU, and a few of those aren't premium either, but we all play together just the same, every night, os not having premium causing you issues..well, doesn't float my boat very well. These other guys have no problems at all...I mean sure, some queue issues, but that's rare, beucase we generally paly in servers that have room for all of us.


Perhaps it's just time for you to stop gaming.


Not that I'm defending BF3, no game is gonna appeal to everyone, but you jsut sound angry, and I think BF3 is jsut what you're focused on now. There's a lot of anger in your words, and if a game gets you that riled up...wow. Just wow.

It actually isn't the game itself that is pissing me off. It is the face fucking I am having to take from EA in order to actually play the game I have already paid my money for. Despite all the low attention span bollox that DICE have put into the game such as 10000 odd unlockables, I actually think the game rocks, if they would just finally leave the damn thing alone instead of 'fixing' it every other week.
