I still remember being amazed by Codename 47, Hotel Galar is still my favourite moment in the series.

I picked up the new one by the way.
I dunno. It has some good moments. When you actually have a contract, that's fun. Like I said before though, it feels more Splinter Cell than Hitman. The game doesn't feel as much about the jobs as it does about sneaking past guards. It's like one level of a job to 3 levels of getting across a room or a street or whatever.
Even then, the contracts aren't as good. That one in the club. I'm walking around trying to eye up a way to kill the guy. I see the control for the fault disco ball so I'm like ok, I've got to bait him there or maybe he'll just go there by himself. So I decide to follow him for a bit to see what he does. Then he walks an empty toilet by himself and it's just like "oh... well ok I guess that works".

I went in through the window upstairs and picked up a silenced pistol. He goes for a lapdance later and I just shot him in the face after the girl left,

I agree, it's too similar to Hitman 2 for my liking, but Contracts mode saves it a little.

Anyone played Planetside 2? Watched a few youtube videos of it and downloaded it but yet to play. Looks like a futuristic Battlefield but with 100 times bigger maps.

Playing through Uncharted at the mo, it's pretty good but there just seems to be hundreds and hundreds of enemies. You kill a shitload and then more and more just come. I thought it'd be a bit more adventurous.

U1? It has that problem. U2 gets a lot better.

Gave it a go and it's a cracking game from the couple of hours that I've played. First things to do are to get a thing to hold 2-3 weapons and save up the money to buy a bow.

The Uncharted series is great, apart from all 3 endings, which are trump

Spent about 10-15 minutes contemplating between Black ops 2 and Farcry 3. Ended up going for Farcry seeing as im not much of an online gamer anyway and definitely don't regret it. Amazing game so far, gets the right mix between sandbox and story telling right and the ability to play either stealthily (ala Hitman style), sniping from a distance and going all guns blazing. Definitely one to reccomend.

Farcry is brilliant, but you have to be into them sort of games to enjoy it, the story is great too, its so easy to get into the characters head which is always good (especially for me, as the lead character is called Jason

)

Endings or bossfights? I agree with boss fights, but the ending to 2 is just fine imo.

Tad annoying when you're sniping and a bloody tiger sneaks up and kills you

Love the wild life though, adds so much to the game.

I was sneaking into an enemy base, took out the sniper on the roof and disabled the alarm, used my camera to identify all the targets and got ready to take everybody down. Next thing I know a tiger has ran into the base and killed everyone. I just sat their watching it all until everyone died and took the spoils once the tiger returned to the jungle. One of my all time favourite gaming moments.

I just found out Farcry 3 has a bow in it so I bought it. I'm going to try going through the game just using the bow, the flare gun and melee weapons. It probably won't work but you have to make your own challenges in life.

It is awesome. I haven't used a weapon other than the bow apart from before I got it and main story missions where you don't have a choice. So much fun hiding in a bush and sniping the whole compound with a bow.
It seems kind of like Skyrim only less tedious and with guns and drugs.

Anyone here played Hotline Miami yet?

I just started it today and am loving it so far, the soundtrack is excellent, manages to create a huge amount of atmosphere in what is pretty much just a top down 2D game with the most basic graphics.

This. A really good game, far better than Far Cry 2, which was a bit frustrating for me.

Far Cry 2 was shit.

I've not yet came up against a Lion or Shark yet in FC3. I'm scared.

I did come across a bear. He ate a full round of AK47, then me.
