New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Anyone have thoughts on Far Cry 3 or Dishonored? Trying to decide which one to pick up.

Far Cry 3. I can't say enough good things about this game. My only complaint is I never have enough time to play it during the week.

I played Far Cry 2 a couple years ago, and I thought it was okay despite the lack of fast travel points, the constantly respawning enemy checkpoints (making travel much longer) the annoying malaria that kicked in the middle of the gunfights and your gun constantly jamming due to wear and tear.

The good news is that Far Cry 3 has none of that. In fact, there isn't a single thing about Far Cry 3 that really annoys me so far, and I'm about halfway through the game. There's so much to do too, and it constantly keeps you on your toes because of the pirates and the wildlife that will attack you if you're not in a vehicle. And with fast travel spots all over the map, if you don't want to drive a long ways to a mission site or something it makes it super quick getting there.

Long story short, Far Cry 3 lives up to the hype, for me personally.

Looking forward to the Skyrim add-on's this weekend.

Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn.

Thanks. I'm kinda leaning toward FC3 based on everything I've read so far.

Finally finished Hitman and the Uncharted series. Picking up Far Cry today after work. Twins dont come home for 2 days so i should have some time to get it started.

Good riddance to 2012. One of the worst years in recent memory for video games.

I just started it, according to Steam I've played it for a grand total of 2 or 3 hours, and most of it was me just leaving it on and replaying the opening a couple of times trying to calibrate the graphics. It's alright though. Main reason I got it was because I loved the character of Vaas. It's been awhile since we've had a villain of his caliber in a game.

Foaming at the mouth for GTA V.

I thought it was supposed to come out at the end of this year but it looks like it won't be til March.

I thought this year was a decent year for gaming, at least it was personally. I started off with Skyrim, and that was ok for a while, at least when I had time to play. Then Madden came out and that occupied me for a little while, but tbh the bulk of the time that I play Madden is during the NFL offseason. This fall was excellent for me, first I bought Assassins Creed 3, which was good, then I bought Hitman, which I loved, and then I bought Far Cry 3, which I am really enjoying as well. I'm looking forward to next year too, although the only game I'm planning on buying next year is GTA V (awesome trailer D-Rave).

GTA V along with Bioshock Infinite should help get 2013 off to a good start

Playing walking dead right now. That another good one.

@Mooby Skyrim is 2011 not 12 :D

Steam sale was ridiculous this past week. Kept buying games I didn't need. LA Noire, Farcry 2, Doom 3, GTA 4, GTA 4 DLC, Left4Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Witcher, The Witcher 2, Assasins Creed 2, None of which was more then $5 save ones that were bundled $7.99. Lol I'm not going to play half of those games.
