Who ever decided that a server browser was the best way to join a game anyway? I Just want to play a game with my friends! I don’t care what server I’m on. The same happens with Bad Company 2 on PC. Any notion of playing strategically as a team goes out the window when you have to be careful what you say. On one hand that’s great because the server is free to balance teams but it sucks when you want to play with friends you’re chatting with on Skype. It would seem that friends playing together is regarded as team stacking in Team Fortress 2. Such a simple game but the story gripped me – help a developer rid his computer generated world of viruses! Loved that.Ĭatch you all in Killing Floor, L4D2, or most likely anything but Battlefield 3… It’s even better coop!Ĭlosely following that game, I have to admit the many hours I put into Darwinia were a pleasure too. There is so much silly and creative fun and idiocy in that game that it’s a pleasure to play. Skyrim kept me distracted for a few hours over the Christmas holidays but it’s Saints Row the Third that is my favourite game of 2011. There is a ray of light, for me at least. I’ll still jump into a game (on PS3) if anyone wants but the heady excitement of the early days has already worn off. I’ve let my Xbox Live subscription lapse, and I’ll probably trade in the Xbox version of BF3 for store credit. Do you feel the same about Battlefield 3? The latter game only came out in September! Veterans of PC gaming gush about Battlefield 2. It wasn’t always a rosy relationship (remember C4 on the MCOM stations?) but it took over a year for me to become as apathetic towards it as I am about Battlefield 3 now.

Now I think he’d probably pick up Skyrim and go adventuring by himself wielding swords and magic fireballs to defeat his foes! I guess it couldn’t really, could it? We were expecting a game that would be the second coming of Christ in gaming terms, weren’t we? If Jesus played any game, he’d choose Battlefield 3. The trailers promised massively destructible environments and so much more but the final game did not live up to the hype. It’s the game that many people upgraded their PCs for but Battlefield 3 isn’t the darling that Bad Company 2 was, at least for me and the guys I play with.Įxpectations were high for this game.
