New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

I'm definitely way past being burned out on Call of Duty. I have MW3 but I might as well sell it now while I can still get something decent for it. I've barely played it.

Think I'm burned on shooters in general. Haven't even played BF3 much lately.

At least Tryarch is trying something different by taking it into the future. Infinity Ward has lost their mojo I think. MW2 and 3 are the same damn games, it's like they didn't even try with 3.

I have a buddy who's been in my ear about giving Skyrim a shot. Think I might try renting it and give it a whirl.

I have a $20 that says you don't like it.

Skyrim is one of those games where you have to invest a large amount of your free time in it if you're ever really going to take advantage of what it offers. I spent a lot of time playing it too, and as soon as I was done with the main storyline missions I was done with it.

I would tend to agree, but my friend who is trying to talk me into trying it has the same taste in games as me. Shooters or sports games with some GTA mixed in. That's why I'm willing to give it a try.

Well you did last longer in Rockstar's RDR then I did. Good god running my horse around in real time from Miss to CA made me want to go do my real chores.

I would like to say one thing here.

F... Games developed for PCs and Consoles at the same time. I prefer PC gaming for the most part. Gaming companies have been trying to cheap out by making one version for both and the controls are jacked on a PC. We've already seen Skyrim (even though I didnt like it) and Diablo III butcher their controls for the console market.

Im fine with them both having the game, but dont make us use the same types of controls and UI layout.

Anyone play The Witcher 2? I see it's getting some good reviews.

I hate PC gaming you always end up with a controller that could fly the Enterprise.

I hate PC Gaming right now only b/c Lucas Art decided to bring Knights of the Old Republic III only for PC. Bleh.
