Last i bought was GTA 5 at the end of last year, very good, probably the overall best in the franchise... I honestly don't care much about videogames of today, except for few franchises like The Elder Scrolls, GTA, few others... I'm all for 90s and early 2000s videogames, when they actually had great gameplay, storyline, atmosphere and so on... Today game creators got lazy and they mostly rely on the mainstream formula of super graphic and action, nothing else, void games... Example, how Capcom butchered and destroyed the mighty Resident Evil franchise is a bad joke...

By far the best game I ever played has been South Park: Stick of Truth, but you have to really like South Park to appreciate it.

Far Cry 3=Garbage.


The game is way too thin, every thing feels the same, the outposts do not vary at all.  All you need is a Silencer on the Sniper Rifle and its easier than shooting fish in a barrel.  Pointless.  The story is garbage and plays like a cheap novel or C movie (more like F movie, not even worthy of VHS).  It REALLY is that bad.  You get powerful weapons from the start just by going to the towers which are annoying as all hell, waste of time to climb.  So boring.  The "idols" and "memory Cards" and "letters" you find add absolutely NOTHING to the game and the dead Asian soldier in every location looks so silly.  The cars do not vary, the wildlife AI is dumb as bricks, the trinkets you find are tiresome.

Furthermore, in FarCry 3 the extraneous shit (not that there is any really) is the only thing that is okay about the game (and it really is shit still since there really isn`t much to do at all).  Get rid of that, and you have an even shittier shit game.

The environment is not that great and there never really was any kind of ecological feel to it.  The sharks were more or less cartoon like and the random alligator attacks that you can escape just by hitting the button fast are a joke.  Then you have the bow and arrow which is just as powerful if not more powerful than the Rocket Launcher  ::).  I like how you can shoot a bear in the head with an exploding sniper rifle round and it doesn`t kill it.  ::)  Just moronic. 

The shooting is nothing new or different from any other First Person shooter.  What stealth mechanics? The one where you have an unlimited amount of magical rocks in your pockets to throw in order to "distract" the enemy.  Oh brother.  ::)  Yes, the eye-roll again.  Or that you can literally walk around the outposts in crouch right in front of everyone and they somehow don`t see you?  hahaha

This isn`t a story about an ordinary guy rising up at all.  Its a mish mash of the shittiest Grade F movie cliches thrown together in a loose toilet based narrative and flushed around like the piece of fecal excrement it is.  The characters are worthless and thin, bro this bro that all taking place with dumb contrived scenario after the next and on and on and on. 

The whole thing falls apart because it was never together in the first place.  Its really an exercise in monotonous stupidity with nothing really to offer at all.

No, I'm saying if some people choose to do that as a past time, what harm is it doing people like you? Read up on anxiety disorders then you might understand it.

You should get a ps3 you missed some really great games, metal gear solid, uncharted series, killzone series, infamous series, resistance series and the last of us was one of the best games of this generation.

Yes, uncharted 2 sets the bar for narrative , character development, writing and a thousand other things.

Im a game developer and the lessons to learn from uncharted 2 about making a great game should be very obvious... Sadly the people big companies put in charge of multi million dollar projects don't usually share that perspective which is why we have so many craptastic single player campaigns :(

No idea, but their bad is still a thousand times better than most companies good.

I assume things there aren't copacetic as their former creative director now has an office down the hall from my cube, and they lost some real talent lately (and also hired some absolutely awful hacks I would never have expected to end up there)

Was that the woman that left recently?Or was she the script writer.Dont get me wrong, still good action, but forgettable story, very incohesive.

I've really enjoyed all of Naughty Dog's recent stuff.
Uncharted 2 & 3 were both absolutely immense and The Last of Us was also an incredible gaming experience.

I didn't like the cartoony driving aspect of GTA 5. I'm one of the few that hugely preferred the more realistic dynamics of GTA IV.

Of course, COD and FIFA are always number one when I have my mates round.

i think it's better than all the games you listed

the story is bad?  what was good about the story in gta 5?  what is fun about skyrim?  that game puts me to sleep

my top 3 are the last of us, uncharted 3 and far cry 3
