I got a copy of Rocksmith, and a copy of Saints Row: The Third

Holy SHIT is Rocksmith a fun way to learn guitar. Like, I went from plinking poorly on a few notes, to practically "mastering" (ok, far from THAT, but I'm doing fanstastic) Queens of the Stonage's "Go With the Flow" Rhythm guitar.

EDIT: Basically, I've unlocked the hardest tier of notes for Rhythm on the song, and I can play 95% of the notes and chords.

@Humanity: Definitely has to do with whether your friends are playing it or not. I'd be the same, I think, with every battlefield if I didn't have friends playing it with me.

@big_jon: The M27 IAR is the best of them all, but it's hardly an LMG.

*Also, stop using the damn M60, that gun is WAY too unwieldy to be used offensively.

I remember when the M60 was brokenly awesome in Bad Company 2 before it was nerfed to hell....is it really that bad in Battlefield 3?

It's not THAT bad, but it's seemingly worse than most of the LMGs. Also, I remember those days in BC2. That thing was borderline a sniper.

Count me in?

Reviews 2 days after launch...

Pretty much this. I'm loving the game, but reviewing an MMO 2 days after launch is like reviewing the demo of a game. Reviewing it off the beta gameplay is like, well, reviewing a beta.

That being said, I'm loving the game so far, despite some minor flaws. I just think this is rediculous.

@Bourbon_Warrior: @bushpusherr: I use to play cs, an cs:s for real money be it in tourney's, or gambling on matches against other teams. I've played enough FPS games throughout my life to be quite good, and probably better then you and most people on this site. Its not arrogance its the confidence in my skills to bet 100$ on a cs match time and time again.( My part-time job in high-school) And yes cs does translate to every fps, since most modern fps game are piss easy compared to the games of old. I twitch that gun like a crazy person, and probably am after all that time in seedy dark rooms filling my wallet with cash.

Also if you think the hit-boxes in this game are fine, you've never played an fps on any competitive level.

I'm going to shock the fuck out of you with this, but CS and CS:S are bad examples to compare this to. They are both great pc games, and are both played consistently to this day.

The issue is that both of those games have guns that work via Hitscan, aka instantaneous travel. In BF3, the guns all have bullet drop and muzzle velocity, meaning travel time, damage reduction over range depending on the gun/ammo type. Also, the guns in counter strike do have kick and recoil, though it's not as severe as it is in battlefield. CS's guns are more akin to Call of Duty than the recent battlefield games. Couple the increased recoil with bullet drop and muzzle velocity, and you've got yourself a HUGE number of factors that affect accuracy for the player.

I'm not saying this game is without its flaws, but this was a really bad comparison to make, you being skilled or not.

*Also, stop using the damn M60, that gun is WAY too unwieldy to be used offensively.

No thanks, I'll wait until we get a version with a better battery and a second stick built in.

...Oh, wait

FFXIII got a 39 from famitsu. I don't trust famitsu much.

@Eurobum: I wasn't aware that AMD drivers auto updated. in fact, I'm fairly sure they don't.
