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?[/quote]
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.


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 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.


That friend was actually your brother.. so it felt kinda good saving him. I couldn't have cared less about the other friends though.

I kind of liked the ending, it forced you to either choose to resolve your primary mission, or continue on the path you've been going down the entire game, the way of the warrior.

I have that game and like it. No lag like crappy black ops II has.

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.

No, I'm cereal.

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

Tbh I don't really like Far Cry 3 either, but it's more a matter of personal preference.

I don't like the jungle.

I don't like modern pirates.

I don't like being stuck on a jungle island with pirates.

Granted, I haven't played the game, but videos of the gameplay are enough to put me off.

They accepted mine. The plastic still surrounded the game and I hadn't even taken off the preorder codes on the back.
The person I gave it to had to ask his superior what to do with it before giving me the store credit though.

Well they went against what they're supposed to do. I'm tempted to call bull-blam!- but Gamestop doing something unethical doesn't necessarily surprise me.*

The only reason I'm even aware of that policy is because I won a CoD game in a raffle there once and gif I could just give it back for store credit and that's when they told me.

*I'm not on the "omg I haet gamestop" bandwagon, either, it just wouldn't surprise me is all.

No I had it since preorder having been a huge Halo fan since 2001. I just never bothered to open it because my brother had his copy, so I played his (we live in separate houses sometimes so we have to buy games for both of us). After having played the multiplayer and campaign, I didn't really feel like I was playing Halo. Plus the normal character models in Flood were gone.

not kidding man. I play ME3 multiplayer at least 3 times a week. I love it. It's fun coop with friends and the difficulty levels get really challenging. Gold and platinum are there for those that want a hardcore time. It's just different from most other online multiplayer games that have come out this year and I love it.

The mutliplayer never really sucked me in but playing the Campaign on insanity is very fun and reminds me of Halo 2 AI on legendary. The plot holes at the end were never enough to sway me away from playing the game because I felt a sense of resolution after beating it knowing I defeated the reapers.

But..But burning all the weed with the flamethrower.

Agreed. Never had so much fun with a flamethrower.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Dishonored is a short but rather interesting game. It has a bit of RPG elements in it (upgrade your equipment to carry more items, zoom farther, etc.) and you can gain powers for your character (possession, "teleportation", stopping time, etc.)

The game can be played without killing a single person, including your main targets you have to assassinate, or just killing everybody in sight. Be warned, your play style will affect the ending in three different possibilities.

I don't think they'd even buy the game from you at cost. What I'm saying is, that even if they were going to sell the game at $65 (which is still less than the amount they sell it for according to their website), they wouldn't give you $65 of credit for it. They wouldn't make any money.

That's not how Gamestop operates. I'll quit posting off-topic in your thread; I just think you're being a little dishonest with everyone.

That said, I think this year had a handful of good games, like most years. I wish the 360 had a few more first party exclusives, bur I enjoy the console and its games nonetheless.
