@richardfitzinya - you should have read the review...or even watched the video, and just listened. He clearly states he played through in 3 hours.

It would be nice if it had a coherent story in SP. BF3 was like a book with 30 chapters but only 1, 5, 12, 13, 18, and 29 were complete at release time. It looked sloppy and hastily thrown together, except for the opening scenario ( which was the original game play trailer ) which, like this - looked great in the early trailer.

I would rather see the next Bad Company.

"I understand the frustration of a studio that makes a dynamite single-player game seeing players treat it like a glorified rental." I still only buy used if: 1) it's an old, unavailable game; 2) it's going to make Bobby Kotick money...I may be adding other CEOs to this list soon. However, the quote from the article points out another trait I have developed - I would argue that most software developers have abandoned the 'dynamite single-player game' and, instead, push out extremely short, disjoint, unfinished works that are a kick in the teeth to their customers. It is because of this trend that I find myself, more and more, waiting for the price to drop to \$20, or less, before buying a game. I still buy it new but developer CEOs are satisfied screwing me so screw them. If the game is good: decent campaign, decent length and story, I always buy when released. But, increasingly, more and more releases fail these criteria so I wait until the price reflects something closer to its actual value. Asking more while giving less is no way to conduct business, and developers have no one to blame for lost income but themselves.

I am amazed this article does not include a comparison on how Sony's pitiful responses look much better when viewed via an xbox connection versus a ps3. I second the notion that @phantasm_x has offered the most intelligent response to this drivel. But Tom, for the last two paragraphs alone, you have my pity. You have shown yourself to be unworthy of being numbered amongst the human beings..

From the Matrox MX02 website: "Matrox MXO2 Mini features a 10-bit hardware scaling engine that works on capture and play out to let you perform realtime HD to SD downscaling, SD to HD upscaling, and 720 to 1080 and 1080 to 720 cross conversion..." Add this up/down scaling feature to the fact that my desktop monitor doesn't have the same graphics qualities as Billy's laptop and it becomes impossible to tell what/whose differences you are actually viewing in these comparisons. Some of these screenshots that are supposed to be lighter actually look somewhat darker to me in some areas and vice versa. What RGB, reference Level, bright white, black, and HDMI color space settings are being used - limited, full, exapnded, on, off, etc, etc, etc.... these settings can also affect the "look" of various games - even the same games depending upon how extensive development was carried for the particular platform. People have what they have and play on what they play on. These comparisons are far from definitive and, as such, of very limited usefulness.
