[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Honestly? Because mp games just aren't the same when your friends aren't playing them. I don't want to make friends with randoms online(especially because they are gamers). The other kicker is that I'm getting tired of FPS and samey games. BF3 is very battlefieldish. It doesn't really do a lot of progressing for the series. Sure it's visually impressive, and the guns feel nice, and the vehicles are always fantastic. The scale is there, the jets are back(and not the bullcrap that they were in BF2), and all that jazz. But at the end of the day it still plays a lot like battlefield. Not bad(I think the game is quite good). I just don't care for it. It's not getting my juices flowing the way Unreal 2k4 did in 04 or Counter Strike or Battlefield 2142(my first run with Battlefield). jg4xchamp

You sure are hard to impress. I'll promise you one thing - it's all downhill from here. Better savor it now.

FPS wise? nah. I'm a believer in the adige(or whatever) "if a door closes, a window opens". If the Battlefields and Unreals of the world are on their down turn, than something new is going to come out and be a crap ton of fun and make me forget about the old days. Team Fortress cIassic was never my thing, but I loved TF2.

Yeah I had so many good memories with Combat Evolved in coop play, and some of the coop games of last gen. But after Left 4 Dead? after how Gears of War lends itself better to coop? meh Suddenly just letting me play the single player game+friend doesn't do it.

Besides it's a varied medium. If one entire genre stopped being interesting, I have plenty of others to invest time into and effort into. On the other hand one of my friends wants to get Diablo 3, and I'm like why?

Edit: As for the hard to impress stuff, not really compared to some of the dweebs on this forum. I'm just intolerant of sh1t that bores me. I'm giving up part of my free time, I'm playing x game over doing something else, I put my money into this(even if it's mostly renting, and steam sales)..and you decide to bore? Get the f*ck out. Not that BF3 is boring. I'm just one of those people that prefers to do MP with friends than randoms.

BF3 isn't an innovative game by any stretch of the imagination, at least not design wise, it's big selling point is on graphics/audio/physics but little touches like the movement system(parkour) and suppressive fire are nice. If you want a big milestone type FPS then Gotham City Impostors is possibly your best bet for an already released game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdbPQeouj5U&hd=1

Are we not allowed to enjoy first person shooters on consoles?

No. It's unmoral.

Well I'm doing it anyway and I LOVE IT.

You use a controller long enough you get good with it. It's just like anything else. I use 3500 dpi when I play CSS and League and I have no problems going back to consoles.

I have a super fun time playing BF3 on my 360 (come at me hermits). The problem is the rent-a-server thing because of the damn price.

Welcome to dedicated servers.

PC gamers have been paying for them for 20 years.

Unlike P2P, dedicated servers require external hardware. It's pretty awesome that console players can even have their own servers. That's a huge benifit of PC gaming that has been brought to the consoles.

I'm just hoping I can filter rented servers out (I haven't played BF3 since the update).

...and it doesn't appear that you can.:(
