So who got this and what do they think of it?

BF3 looks like it could be the best shooter this year.

It looks alright, but the story (for some odd reason) doesn't interest me. Although the idea is original, idk, I guess I've had enough of the mainstream FPS formulas. I'm tired of games having the same features and controls as the last one I've played. It is a great game, but I would love a super-original trend-setter, like Halo was back in the day.

I am buying BF3. No doubt. The only modern series EA has that is any good is back! :D

I like the new way FPS's have been going, I love Bulletstorm, although I don't own it, and Killzone 3 improves on the great old Killzone formula in many ways.

The thing I miss most about the Playstation: the PS exclusives. Sony didn't just churn 'em out, they thought about them and worked on them... sigh.

Today it's literally impossible to make an FPS without borrowing at least 1 idea from somebody. If I made a game where the campaign was to stop aliens from invading Earth, then I can think of several things I would be copying:

1. Aliens- would be borrowed from Halo
2. FPS- would be borrowed from Doom
3. Game- would be borrowed from Pong

That's 3 things that can be considered being copied.

As long as they didn't copy right it, its okay.

Yes, but then there are things that could be EXPANSION packs to the original games. I didn't say "I hate people borrowing anything", I said I hate unoriginal things. Mainstream things.

After a ton of CoDs, clones, and games in similar times and settings, I want to get away from all that. I want creative things, less shooting galleries, unrealistic cartoony gore, unique weapons, innovation, all sorts of those things. Call me a progressive, I don't know, but I could never appreciate what is "current" in gaming. For as long as I was gaming, I only appreciated the brand-new things or the old things. Maybe it's just me. :P

The story is very similar to a game called Freedom Fighters.
