I just bought the thing i ain't putting more money into it.

DarkTower8055170d ago

EA...tsk, tsk, tsk. You greedy bastards.

ASSASSYN 36o5170d ago

That is why it is free with VIP access.

Rob Hornecker5170d ago

With your purchase of the game,you may have noticed the extra card in there for a VIP access. What you saw listed in this post will be FREE to all PS3/Xb360 owners that use the code. I feel this is a GREAT selling point. I don't see MW2 doing this and from what i've seen about MW2's upcoming DLC it will be a rehash of current maps and a few from the 1st MW. With no price set yet ( 800- 1200 MS points??? )

The other thing I liked about how they sold BF/BC2 is selling the limited edition for the regular selling price and truly giving us something useful for it. In the case of MW2 you had the stock copy,the limited edition with a code to D/L the 1st CoD ( BORRRRRRING! )for $20.00 more,and the over hyped and still can be found prestage edition with bunch of worthless books,CoD1 dlc,and cheap-o nightvision goggles
.

I think EA should be cheered for how they handled the release of BF/BC2. The PS3 beta,playable demos for the PS3,360,and PC and putting out constant updates to the media. BRAVO!!!!

My only complaint with BF/BC2 is that there seems to be one less class missing that was in the 1st BF/BC...The Specialist? Maybe this will be added in future DLC releases. Other than that I love both the Xb360 and PS3 versions of the game!

Shotgun_Roamer5170d ago

Let us not forget that for BFBC1 DICE released a free map-pack and game mode as DLC. Plus, they chose all the maps by letting the players vote from them, if anyone won't charge for DLC, it'll be DICE. But what do i know, I'm just a guy posting on N4G

SuperbVillain5170d ago

if you preordered it your copy came with a code to get FREE DLC...if you didn't preorder the code is 15 bucks.

FragGen5169d ago (Edited 5169d ago )

Sweet: more sh*t to buy!! I (heart) spending money.

You know that the PS4 is going to have a vending machine dollar bill acceptor built right into the unit, right? Please insert $20 to play the other half of the game you already "own".

@Rob Hornecker: This "extra" stuff is DRM, dude, it's not some gift from the publisher. Your $60 paid for it. It's content they developed as part of the main game but keep off the disc to force registration and lock down your game onto your online ID. As far as DRM goes it's not too bad, but let's just be honest with ourselves as to what it is.

...for additional content as long as it feels like value for money, e.g. map packs that actually contain great maps. However, I hate buying additional maps if no one else is...

acere5170d ago

alms everytime i ride the helicopter , mi ps3 freezes , cmon im return this game soon if this dont get fix, is unplayable, cant ride the damn ting,it happens when i go int fpw and and like fly in some direction , i have a 60gps3, ..... sad

KingKiff5170d ago

I highly doubt you actualy own a PS3 and have played this game as it is not out yet.

6 more hours on steam is the earliest.

Fail

harshtruth5170d ago

to 3.1 the game was out here about 18 hours ago as it has a street date of mar 2nd in the US and gamestop opens around 10am

Dave13515169d ago

my advice would be to get a better playstation as your is clearly broken, mine hasnt froze

Why is everyone whining? if you like the game buy the DLC, if you dont like it you dont have to buy it.. simple

Its free anyway if you got the special edition

JBaby3435170d ago

I can't wait to jump into this game. Download content will be taken cautiously as always.

XDF5170d ago

So what is with all the milking talk?

Rob Hornecker5170d ago

Hmmm,Either he's a cow?,or has a sever lack of vitamin D,or perhaps saying that there going to milk the game ( and Us ) with DLC???

FragGen5169d ago

Actually, you're behind, dude. They just announced two new level packs for God of War IV.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga65d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics65d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend64d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long65d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons65d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor65d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5264d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60264d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7265d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor65d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

OtterX139d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled139d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa139d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno139d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast138d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial138d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72403d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel403d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon403d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim403d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai403d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341403d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313403d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra402d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai402d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra402d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade402d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno403d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149403d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop403d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb402d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole403d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled403d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
