Battlefield 3 no longer for casual gamers?

Battlefield 3 no longer for casual gamers? by igirisushinshi
Hi Guys,

A video suggesting that rush mode in particular on Battlefield 3 is so predominated by high level (not necessarily good though..) players that they make the casual gamer (ie. me) feel over whelmed and ultimately don't enjoy the games.

It might just be me being shit at the game though... Feel free to share your own opinions.

Thanks for watching.

Battlefield 3 Aftermath: 70s trailer by igirisushinshi
Hi Guys,

Everyone seemed to like the original 70s trailer I did so I thought it worth doing one for the recently released Aftermath DLC.

Thanks for watching and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Battlefield 3 Aftermath: Let's Smoke These Fools

Battlefield 3 Aftermath: Let's Smoke These Fools by igirisushinshi
Hi Guys,

Played Aftermath for about 2 hours on Friday night. And this was the best round amongst many enjoyable ones. So 10 minutes and 38 seconds of unedited gameplay with our team steam-rolling the opposition. And I played pretty good too.

The audio comes courtesy of MuseOpen (http://musopen.org/) and Incomptech (http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/). If you needs the link then send me a message on YT or twitter and I can point you in the right direction.

Battlefield 3 Aftermath highlights

Battlefield 3 Aftermath highlights by igirisushinshi
Hi Guys,

The more I play Aftermath the more I enjoy it. Scavenger is great because everyone is equal. And Rush mode now feels more balanced and *almost* as fun as Bad Company 2.

Music courtesy of the awesome Incomptech website.

Thanks for watching.

Battlefield 3 Aftermath Rush on Epicentre

Battlefield 3 Aftermath Rush on Epicentre by igirisushinshi
Hi Guys,

A few thoughts on Rush mode on the new Aftermath dlc. And my opinion so far is pretty positive. I've played a few more rounds since I recorded this and my opinion is that it $h1ts on Armored Kill rush for sure.

And the map is definitely Epicentre, not Markaz Monolith as I claim over and over again at the beginning of the video.

Played Azadi Palace on Rush last night and it's also an excellent rush map in my opinion. Unlike Alborz Mountain where I spent most of my time running and not shooting!

Thanks for wathcing guys, I hope you enjoyed it!

Battlefield 3 Aftermath Scavenger commentary

Battlefield 3 Aftermath Scavenger commentary by igirisushinshi


Hi Guys,

With a few rounds on Aftermath under my belt I thought I'd share a few early thoughts on this pretty awesome new DLC from DICE.

Map is called Talah Market and its very promising so far. I'd say Armored Kill was like DICE were hungover when they decided what it was going to be about. Aftermath is like DICE have spent the last two months playing Bad Company 2 and have figured out how to put the fun back into Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3: Scavenger mode

Battlefield 3 Scavenger mode by igirisushinshi


Hi Guys,

No commentary I'm afraid on this video just raw gameplay. The map is Azadi Palace. I wanted to upload this as quickly as I could because most of the Aftermath footage I watched yesterday was poor quality. So I wanted to show that the PS3 can look pretty good sometimes ;-)

My first match on Scavenger mode. Interesting and very different to Rush. Mainly its Conquest Domination with random weapons. More spawn points on similarly sized maps. Which makes the matches pretty frantic! At least the idiots can't camp with a sniper rifle either.

Have another match to upload which I will do a commentary for. Can't wait to try Rush mode on these maps, from what I've read and watched they're a lot of fun.

Thanks for watching and I'll have the next video up soon.

Monday Humour - A Battlefield WTF? Moment

Powered by Dailymotion

A shift in attitude

I've been playing online FPS almost exclusively for the last 18 months if not a bit longer. Going back to February 2011 when I bought Killzone 3 I haven't played much else other than online FPS games - Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3 and even Modern Warfare 3 occasionally.

But in the last few weeks I've grown weary of these. Mainly I suspect because a I don't get much time online these days - maybe 2 hours a week - which means I'm not very good.  So I get my as kicked an awful lot.

I can't for example remember the last time I won a round of Rush on Battlefield 3. Or even went plus figures on BF3 in Rush mode.  I don't expect to win every match or normally care that I don't finish in plus figures. But to repeatedly keep losing and taking a thrashing at the same time has gotten boring.  The only game type I enjoy on BF3 these days is Conquest Domination. Which I still seem to do well at.  As for all the other game types I'm either really shit or just get crap team-mates who don't go for the objective. Either way when I'm the only one pushing to get to the m-coms it gets tedious. And in fairness I've never really enjoyed Conquest all that much unless playing with friends where talking on the headset distracts from the monotony.

Likewise in Killzone 3 - last time I played it was 2 vs 5 and my one and only team-mate stood right to an opponent and neither of them was shooting their "enemy". Instead they BOTH shot me. So that was a waste of time. Which is a shame as KZ3 is still a very pretty game and plays beautifully. When its more than 4 a side that is.

So I'm shit at Battlefield 3 and no one plays Killzone 3 any more. And until COD gets dedicated servers I wont be putting any time into that game either.

So what does this mean?

Well I just acquired a copy of Dishonored from a colleague. And I've also got InFamous 1 & 2 on my hard drive. And Just Cause 2.  So I'm going to stick to offline single player games for a while. I had considered a look at the new Medal of Honor game but EA decided to shaft us PS3 owners and make the beta Xbox only so I wont be bothering with that.

I'm about an hour into InFamous at the moment and am enjoying it on the whole. I like the fact I'm enjoying a game without guns for a start...  I've already reviewed Just Cause 2 a while back but am also going to finish it some day soon.

But for the foreseeable future I'll be playing Dishonored. Its received excellent reviews and I'm looking forward to playing it. From the videos I've seen it reminded me in some ways of Tenchu back on the PS1. Stealth kills (which is what I'll be aiming for) require patience and sometimes even planning.

So I'll be leaving the battlefield alone for a while. See you guys in Dunwall!

Remembering Battlefield

Hey Guys,

I know its been a while since my last upload. This video was originally submitted to Pixel Enemy Revive. Sadly it didn't make the cut. But here it is - I did spend quite a lot of time on this cutting it together and choosing the music so it seemed madness not letting you guys have a watch.

The second audio track (the bit behind the Battlefield 3 clips) comes courtesy of Fixate Records. The track is called Broken Bone by a guy called Jim Ross and can be bought at a very reasonable price from here: http://www.beatport.com/track/broken-bone-original-mix/3285260.

Not sure about my next vid - been playing a lot of single player games recently and Dishonored arrived in the post today so I suspect some action from that will be next.

Battlefield 3 - The 70's trailer

I had a lot of fun making this video so I hope you guys enjoy it!

Armored Kill - Live comm on Death Valley (Rush mode)

Hey Guys, thought I'd a live comm on my first decent stab a round of Rush on the new Armored Kill map Death Valley. Plus a few thoughts on the crushing defeat I suffered twice on the trot on Bandar Desert - the biggest Battlefield map ever.

Armored Kill - Armored Shield Conquest gameplay

Hey guys, in an effort to get this uploaded as quickly as possible I haven't done a commentary - it was my first game so I didn't a lot to say. But will do some commentary for the stuff I record tonight.

Battlefield 4 - My thoughts and some other news

Hey Guys, just a few thoughts from me about the recent announcement of the existence of Battlefield 4. And more importantly the lack of Bad Company 3! And a few words on why I haven't been uploading as many videos as I'd like recently.
