Pc was BF3's lead SKU except when it wasnt

[CptStern]

"We said originally that the PC was the lead SKU of the game, but in mid-production we switched to console as lead platform to make sure we could get all the versions done for release"

oh boy the shits about to hit the fan

Kotaku? Aren't they the Fox News of gaming sites?

 

[CptStern]

lol every gaming site is the foxnews of gaming sites. they're all horribly written

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I was going to ask which are the most reliable. Reddit seems to favor RockPaperShotgun and Joystiq.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Jostriq is eh.

Destructoid, RPS, Gamesindustry.biz and escapist are p. good

 

[ray_MAN]

Sensationalising.

To me, all that means is now that release is here, they can continue to work on polishing up the game the way that they intended.

There's no doubt that it was a rushed release due to the urge to get the game out before Modern Warfare 3.

Kotaku is run by the Gawker Media network. So yeah, pretty much the Fox News of gaming sites.

 

[Dynasty]

Hardly a problem or reason to get annoyed. It's not like the PC version is some shoddy port *eyes RAGE and Crysis 2, shaking fist*.

10 million copies in like 3 days.

 

[Shakermaker]

It balances out nicely though. FOX on the right and Gawker on the left.

 

[B_MAN]

does it really matter? the games plays great on PC, aside from some missing features that'll hopefully be patched in

some missing features that'll hopefully be patched in

All my gaming experience collectively says, "Don't hold your breath."

lol Like we needed a confirmation. The terrible user interface and the scaling of the maps alone are all the proof you need.

This wasn't already obvious?

Yeah, I didn't even know it was proposed as being the PC's game. Playing the game, you can tell it's a console port.

 

[Dynasty]

I dont see how. The only ''port'' I can see that is obvious, is the loading screens during the campaign. Now and again it will mention ''push START''. Oh come on.

I didn't know consoles had 64 player servers and same sized maps.
