I was wondering if anyone has experience playing PSN digital copy of the game. Some recent 3D games (like GTA V) preformed better on PlayStation 3 discs because they could stream data from the BD and the HDD simultaneously. This game might not be as taxing but I was wondering if anyone has noticed performance differences between the versions.
In Ontario the game sells for $65+tax on disc, and PSN sells it for $60 and taxes are not applicable. The difference is over $13.
It would be nice to be able skip the Windows license for the few PC games I play. Currently I have a Windows 8 partition, but having to pay over $100 for the OS is a bit much.
I'm nearing the end of my second EW playthrough and first-ever classic run. Other than a couple freezes I've had a great experience. This is an all-time favourite for me. It's thrilling and challenging and fair. It can frustrate me or make me feel like a badass. It's a strategy game that plays great with a controller.
Enemy Unknown (PS3) was my first XCOM experience, and as good as it is, they added so much to Enemy Within! The MECs, Gene Mods, Medals, and enemies give you more to play with. The missions associated with Covert Operations, Site Recon, Operation Progeny, Operation Ashes and Temples, and the Slingshot DLC beef up the mid-game. The many new maps add much-needed variety.
Seems like a bummer for everyone who has the game. These hard dates probably contributed to the rush-job feel, it never should have been released as it is. Personally I'll be waiting a few months on a PlayStation 4 and Battlefield 4.
I will say that EA did an excellent job supporting Battlefield 3 with balances and patches for the vanilla game, and many incredible game-modes and maps with Battlefield Premium / DLC. $60 for the game and $50 for Premium is a lot of money, but over the last two years I certainly got my money's worth.
