Subject: The games on the market this year are horrible. [Spoilers]

I went to Gamestop today to trade in my unopened copy of Halo 4 so I could get a store credit and after browsing the stores selection of games, I have come to the realization that everything is mediocre (in my opinion, before everyone starts flaming). I played Far Cry 3, the campaign only made me want to play it once. I have seen Black Ops II's multiplayer, I'm glad they have stuck by their formula and appealed to their fan base Treyarch and IW have built over the years, but the multiplayer is way too casual and accessible for me.
So far there is nothing that interests me, however, I know nothing about Dishonored or Borderlands 2, so please tell me about those games. I love Fallout 3, NV and Skyrim, so I assume one of those two games would appeal to me.
Or should I even purchase a game this year, instead of waiting to preorder Fallout 4?

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

What didn't you like about Far Cry 3?

Per Audacia Ad Astra

I prefer Far Cry 3 to Dishonoured and Borderlands 2.
Hopefully a potential Man of Steel or Iron Man 3 game will actually be fun to play this time round.

Some story holes made the plot confusing, Jason was the worst character in the game and you have to play as him, and I don't care about some tribe on Rook Island out in the middle of no where. Nor do I care about the friends I saved through out the game because of their horrible character development.

why a murder train?Well, The Blues revolve around trains, and I'm trying to be Blues-y about it.
I think a t-rex sounds better, I mean Murder T-rex. just think about it.

$.50 in store credit.

IMO, Borderlands 2 is excellent. Skyrim is well worth the money too. Lego LOTR looks cool and judging by the first three Lego SW games it'll be brilliant. Havent played Dishonored yet. I hear it's good, but short.

I can agree with you on some points

I think if Vaas had been around for longer it could have made it much much better.

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Yesterday, I picked up Far Cry 3 before me and a couple friends saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. (This was their first time, but my second time seeing it. Was so worth it!) But, I am loving it. I haven't gotten far, but it is great and I'm having a blast!

I completely agree, I really cared more about taking out Vaas rather than taking out Hoyt. After anti-climatically killing Vaas, I really felt no desire to play the main story anymore knowing I was hunting Hoyt.

Tbf, we don't actually know if you did kill him or not so you never know he could be used in DLC/sequel.

As for Hoyt, I somewhat agree but it felt good to save my friends.

Your friend who pilots the helicopter was pretty cool. I thought shooting up one of Hoyt's bases was fun as hell, but after the Rakyat (don't know how to spell the tribes name) took my friends and forced me into one of two very shallow decisions I was pretty much done with the game.

You should check out Big Rigs. Great story, even better gameplay.

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but my brother sold his copy of Mass Effect 3, so I can't play it! I love all the ME's so I was very disappointed when he sold it.
