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.

Wait until you get set upon by a crocodile, I possibly whimpered

I encountered a crocodile for the first time. I was swimming with one had and taking a quick drink of my brew with the other... lets just say my brew went fucking everywhere.

I'm planning on treating myself to a new Xbox (my old one is four years old and the disk tray is fucked) and am only really bothered about getting FIFA 13 with it, but am thinking of getting a few other cheap(ish) ones as well. Any recommendations? Looking for 2-3 games under £20 each.

That only happens on the easiest difficulty, Ive only just managed completed it on Normal and its not as easy as that video makes out.

No, I think you're missing the point. The video highlights bugs. But it doesn't do it very well. In fact a lot of the things in that video he would've got shot to fuck just after the cut. Some of the reactions are a little off in the game. Particularly in set pieces as you can see from the parts where he's killing those doctors. I've not really experimented much with the tunnel vision but it seems oretty bad in this video. Haven't really tried to exploit it like that though so nothing I can say there.
That king of Chinatown kill is awesome though. Either incredibly luck or he knew exactly where he was going to go and planned that out. It does look dodgy but notice how noone other than the guy he kills sees him with the knife. Other people get suspicious as you can see from the minimap. Oh, and the ice cream truck in the desert is an easter egg.

Really though, the gameplay isn't the problem with the game at all. There are small bugs and some things which are seem gamey when you watch it like that, but you don't notice it when you're playing it. The problem is that the second act (from part in the hotel to I don't know where because I got this and Farcry at the same time and Farcry is better) is like the opposite of a Hitman game. Most of the time you're trying to avoid getting caught rather than plotting a hit. It's a solid game but I stick the thing I've said the whole time, it feels more like Splinter Cell than Hitman. A good Splinter Cell game to be fair, but still. It's decent enough thoough.

If you're interested in getting it, wait to see if it pops up as one of the daily deals on the Steam sale. If it does, then get it.. If not, then the generic sale price of £22 of it is probably a fair price but I wouldn't go for it at full whack.

Yes, but the difficulty just makes the reactions of the player slower, so if your on easy then they're gonna take years to react, whereas if that video had been on a harder difficulty, the guy wouldn't have stood a chance.

But yeah, every game has its bugs too.

No, in that gardener kill, he wasn't detected by the other guy at all. I actually did it today in a similar position and the same thing happened, the cone of vision for AIs is pretty small but that's not really a bad thing. It is a game after all, if it was that realistic then you'd have to do everything perfectly.

Daggerfall is so bullshit though. You can enter a town which is surrounded by snow and when you leave it's covered in lava. Crap randomly generated outdoors.

Yeah. Bethesda can say want they want about Daggerfall, it wasn't really that big. In terms of places they actually designed... it's like saying Minecraft is big. It is. It's fucking massive but it's all procedural. You can't compare that to Just Cause 2.
I've played Fuel with a friend btw, I don't know how many people bothered to get it. The world is ridiculous. I mean really, we decided go on a drive somewhere and it took us about... I don't know 40 minutes to get about a 6th of the way across the map pretty much just going north. Plus you can offroad it and you have to scale mountains and shit. It would've been really fun if the cars weren't complete shit.

My inside source tells me that the next Lego video game is going to be Lego Marvel. If anyone's interested. I'm sure noone is, I just like the idea of having an inside source.

Since Blockbusters is going out of business I thought I'd check out the sale. Got Halo 4 and Red Dead Redemption (inc. Undead Nightmare) for £32! Was going to get F1 2012 too but my mate reckons it's crap.

I don't know how anyone can define a game such as this "crap" like, what did you expect? Its a Formula One game, your going to get nothing but a Formula One game, with excellent graphics and real features such as kers/drs/penalties, if you've ever played F1 2010/2011 then 2012 is a major improvement on both joined together.

Its not a crap game , if your an F1 fan.

Yeah, F1 2012 has been improved LOADS, so if you liked 2011 you'll love 2012.

The penalty system for F1 2012 is fucking annoying though, you can be forced into a collision and be penalised for it, and the AI gets way with murder. Also, the online multiplayer can be ridiculous sometimes.

The recent patch fixed most of that, i don't really have a problem with Penalties, not like i did when the game first came out.

I've bought about ten games in the last week and I can not maintain playing one for more than 20 minutes. I don't understand what's wrong with me now.
