James giving up on BF3?

I dunno Wilk, I'm not selling it or anything - but my desire to play it has taken a drop after that latest patch.

I'm sure I'll be back on at some point - but I think I needed a break anyway.

I agree with all that was said about Sony, but I think the missing ingredient in that discussion about PvZ may have been EA.

Gutted that this episode was not titled "Muskrat Confidential."

BTW, I think the show Pete was referencing there was Meerkat Manor, which features no muskrats.

Meerkat Manor! Yes.

Also, PvZ is owned by EA now (who bought popcap), but SOE is actually the publisher of the PSN/Vita efforts, due to a deal signed before the Popcap buyout.

I only managed to put 9 hours into bf3, after putting about 300 into bc2. So I totally agree with you, Pete, on that shit.

Driving an atv across a field at a million miles per hour (or kpm for you non-American weirdos) bouncing around like a mad man thinking you are going to spill only to bail right outside flag and pull your gun and mow dudes down...

Bf3 never does anything close to that. It's slow moving tanks, dense levels with no sight lines, sniper rifles that suck and shotguns that are godlike, and air battle with jets that has absolutely no fucking bearing on the battle below, a lower level of destruction on maps that aren't nearly as cool anyway.

To get good at bf3 what you need to do is play tdm, find a corner that you can't get shot in the ass in... and fucking camp it. And that's exactly the formula for success in COD. And I'm not sayin that's not fun, it is, but it's not unique. I felt like bfbc2 was unlike any other shooter on consoles. I don't think that's true of bf3.

Yeah, I just played a few rounds of bfbc2, the freedom in the game is awesome. Fuck BF3.
