I dont think anyone said it sucked, i think they said "Cool, but hows the multiplayer" in a not-giving-a-shit tone.

So basically an action movie.
Thank god someone else realized this. Not only that, but CoD4 established them as even more shattered nation than in real life, one unable to handle their own domestic problems and had different factions squabbling for power. Ultra-nationalists and all that.dagill said:While pretty linear and easy to understand, it didn't actually explain a lot of the back story. But it made a fuck ton more sense than MW2, because it didn't involve a broke outdated, barely powerful nation invading somewhere 10 times more powerful.
Well it is obviously because they all got together after finding a single dead American terrorist among several dead Russian terrorists which obviously gave them a link to America being their enemy. Duh.Frostbite3789 said:Thank god someone else realized this.

Somehow that got solved and they got all their ducks in a row enough to invade the entire western world. Like, I can get into a fun, explode-y plot as much as the next guy, but if you can't even be assed to follow your own universe continuity, I can't be bothered to care about your story.
It's weird how I absolutely loathed Homefront for its scripted nonsense, yet I can forgive BF3. I've actually given this some thought. In a lot of ways, BF3 and Homefront are uncannily similar. I gave both games an honest chance (I was actually very much looking forward to Homefront to begin with), yet something about that game just rubbed me the wrong way. I think BF3 just does everything else right. Looks, sounds, feel, missions... just a few drawbacks that can be a real dealbreaker for people.Furioso said:This game has the worst possible kind of linearity, the kind where you think you can do more but can't, for example, if you are with your squad shooting at some shapes over yonder, a smart tactical person would think that flanking is a good idea, however you are quickly informed that if you go past this line you will lose, I know its a battlefield game and therefore the single player was an afterthought, but whoever designed this clearly liked Homefront a hell of a lot more than everyone else, it has the same problems
Yea but if I wanted to do something that looked and sounded great I would watch a movie, TotalBiscuit said it best when he said "This is Heavy Rain the war simulator"Duffeknol said:It's weird how I absolutely loathed Homefront for its scripted nonsense, yet I can forgive BF3.

Heavy Rain was an awesome experience too, imho.Furioso said:Yea but if I wanted to do something that looked and sounded great I would watch a movie, TotalBiscuit said it best when he said "This is Heavy Rain the war simulator"Duffeknol said:It's weird how I absolutely loathed Homefront for its scripted nonsense, yet I can forgive BF3.

Yea, so did I, the point I was trying to make was that it does not work at all for this game, where all I do is press a button every few seconds to win, press button to get in turret, hold trigger, move on, press button to not get shot by jet, press button to fire at landed jets, press button to not be killed by ratDuffeknol said:Heavy Rain was an awesome experience too, imho.Furioso said:Yea but if I wanted to do something that looked and sounded great I would watch a movie, TotalBiscuit said it best when he said "This is Heavy Rain the war simulator"Duffeknol said:It's weird how I absolutely loathed Homefront for its scripted nonsense, yet I can forgive BF3.
