Looks like I won't be buying Battlefield 3 after all.

I officially hate EA now.

U are not the only one, I guess I won't either, and to make this worse I hate how steam collects personal information, although i gave them fake name, spam email address and telephone number in Bhutan, this still does not prevent therm collecting and selling any data they come across on my pc.

O yes and Google also demanded my telephone number before i can proceed to my account, I mean if this isn't intrusive enough they want your phone number as well, this time I gave them number for British Embassy in Tunis.

PPL, never ever give your personal info no matter how well intended, these greedy evil corporations will do everything and anything to rip you off under disguise of offering good service. I am warming up to pirated software more and more now. At least they remove these invasive tracking viruses from games and software before they share it on torrents.

Man, Uncharted 3 is going to be awesome. Can't wait for it. Uncharted 2 was my first PS3 game.

So I got the Battlefield 3 beta installed last night and I must say so far, so good, it's really living up to expectations and the map and game mode they've released to begin with 'metro' / rush are apparently the 'worst' of the bunch according to the alpha and closed beta testers, which means even better things to come with Gold. Really loving the graphics, they are just stunning when turned up to 'Ultra' (and yay for finally having a PC that can handle those settings) and also liking the way the weapons handle so far, though they feel a little light, I guess I'm just going to have to wait for all the unlocks so I can get them upgraded with rails, sights and attachments.

Would encourage people to give it a go, available to download and play until the end of next week on all platforms!

Interesting trailer that poppped up today:

I've played beta and the game turns out to be really good.

Also I wanted to mention Deus Ex: Human Revolution (unfortunately late), I told to say something about it after finishing. This action-RPG was one of the best games I've played in my entire life. The plot was intricate and absorbing. The gameplay was overally good , console-like steering (played on PC) wasn't a problem for me. And it's not a game that takes a position : for or against human augmentation, they present gamer many reasons to take one or other route and belief, totally imparial, your game - your choice.

^Oh man next week literally cannot come fast enough. This game is going to take over my life!

[wjfox]

I really, really, really hope this game is available on Steam. There's no way I'm using Origin.

I finished DXHR recently (followed by Rage). It was... good.

Not quite great, not quite as excellent in the scale of the world as the original. But surprisingly, remarkably good. The developers really did make an effort -- with considerable if not complete success -- to replicate the multiple approaches to solving problems. The GOTY edition with all the DLC will be one of the games every PC gamer should own.

Now I'm waiting for Skyrim. Call of Modern Battlefield 3... eh.

[Dead Redshirt]

I'll likely pick up the GOTY edition at some point then I have so many games I want to play, including ones that were released before I got my PS3.

[Caiman]

I’m playing EVE Online again and with Battlefield 3 coming out this weekend I really don’t think I am going to find time to do another playthrough of DEHR any time soon, though at some point I do want to try and complete it without killing anyone (where possible). Not that I’m an achievement sucker but that’d be a fun one to try and get. My first play through was pretty violent, let’s just say my trip to the police station was a lot more violent than Arnie’s in Terminator I noticed the new DLC on Steam, I may well pick that up and give it a whirl this week, actually.

Watch in hi-def.

[Logically Irrational]

Not really news, but something to think about for the next Xbox.

Real Steel is set in 2020, so it's plausible it would still be popular. Just as likely that this doesn't mean anything at all.

I hope the next Microsoft console is called the XBOX 720. I guess they will though, since it'll be a bigger number than 'Playstation 4'.

In other news, my 'Battlefield 3' pre-order on Amazon has chanegd to 'dispatching soon' - hope I get it by Thursday (release date is Friday 28th here, I know the US has it already )

Enjoy having your personal details raped by EA.

On August 24 2011, EA revised its End User License Agreement, removing several of the controversial sections.[28] They released a statement saying that they had no intention to sell marketing data to third parties, nor install software akin to spyware on its customers PCs.[28] The specific changes to the EULA removed EA's right to transfer collected personally identifiable data to third party users.[28]

^From wikipedia.

At worst, they might scan my hardware and send me some crap emails trying to sell games targeted at my spec. I’ve had origin on my PC all year and my world hasn’t ended yet

[wjfox]

You have no idea how much I want that game. I have a GTX 580 so I could play in ultra settings with 40 fps... 1920 x 1080 resolution...

I think I'll have to just give in, and install it.

Sigh.

I've been playing Battlefield 3 for the last 4 hours. It's just amazing. More later
