Ya it's a shame about the hard freezes, but other than that I haven't noticed any other issues.

It took a little bit to get used to the new maps (it always does with each version), but I really like the variety and uniqueness of the maps and the way they can change as matches progress. Had a cool WTF moment on Paracel Storm when I heard a ship's horn wailing and turned around only to see a giant battleship crashing onto the beach I was on :shock:

Can't wait for PS4 version.
Are you doing the $10 upgrade thing?

Ya. Wasn't going to bother with the ps3 version, but I took advantage of the $10 credit when you spend $50 promo on PSN making the upgrade basically free.

So you're on the PS3?

I have the 360 version and here are the problems me and everyone else has faced:

Graphics/textures are terrible, looks like you're playing an old Bond game.
No party or squad system to play with friends.
Constant freezing, usually always with the Support class.
Some weapons iron sights have no hole.

When you put all these issues together it makes the experience a joke.

It's a good incentive for sure. I wish they would have done it with NBA 2k14.

You should get Fire Emblem Awakening as well. Fantastic strategy RPG and my favorite game on the system.
Eh that sounds too good to be true, to be honest. I can't be fucking around with much outside of speed chess or nostalgia grenades.
Fire emblem was the game that got me to buy a 3ds

I'm getting an XB1 and don't really care. I've looked at the PS4 and XB1 comparisons for BF4 and honestly can't tell the difference. I'm betting any casual gamer won't either.

I guess XB1 has some upscale feature built in that really helps with this though.

That's awful. The CoD demographic is juvenile enough as it is.

What's the title? I love me some Rayman. Those games are a triumph in art style and polish.

Rayman Fiesta Run

Did you ever play Rayman Jungle Run? It is probably my favorite mobile game of all time.

Well, his grandma said she was going to get it for him since he got all A's (he's taking mostly AP classes as a freshman in high school).

The plus side to this (besides not having to fork out the dough myself) is I can now use his "old" 3DS.
