New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Wrong thread.

@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.

I know but I spent a lot of time in early 2012 playing it. If you're just talking about games released in '12 then you're right lol.

Playing walking dead right now. That another good one.

Hell yeah it is.

I was playing that for a while and got away from it for whatever reason.

I liked it, need to get back into it.

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.

Same here, I just love that game franchise.

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.

I've been playing FC3 for a few days now, I like it but I can see what you're saying as far as the time commitment. The other day I was playing and all I was doing was hunting and crafting, and before I knew it an hour and a half wizzed by. I've gotta get back to the missions. Plus I get distracted just f'ing with the pirates. Fun game.

Do you need to play 1 and 2 also or is this a stand alone?

I think Walking Dead won the VGA award for GOTY. A testement to its greatness as well as the weak year that was 2012. I mean it's great to see an underdog win it but at the same time it has to be an indictment against the weak competition.

Mass Effect 3 should have easily been the top game in 2012 and they blew it with the crappy ending, that's now okay but no where near where it should be (there are other issues too but the ending is the one that sticks out the most). I can't help but laugh at how I kept telling myself before the games release "theres no way anyone could screw up a Mass Effect game."

Either way I was happy to see the Walking Dead get some recognition as it's a great game. Speaking of which I need to get back into it as I'm still stuck in Macon. lol.

It stands on it's own, I never played 1 or 2

Yeah same here. I like the game but I find I only really play it when I'm totally bored with everything else. It's just not a go to game for me.
