Far Cry 4 is the safe bet, mgsv is getting mixed reviews from users.FarCry 4 is less nerdy, more getbig style, from your posts I suspect you'll like it far better of the two.

Play FC4 now as it can be had for about 25 bucks.

Grab MG when it drops in a few months to $30.

Picked up "Last of Us" for ps4, recently. Have yet to play it. Anyone familiar?

when I was but a child I used to play a system called Intellivision and a game called Astrosmash. I could sit there and play 12 hours on the same game easily, building up unlimited extra men. I dont know a thing about systems these days

I just bought mario 3d world yesterday and played some.

To me it isn't quite as good as the mario galaxies, but it does have a lot of charm.

Mario maker I don't know about, I prefer the 2d mario but it could get a little redundant just playing a bunch of levels without a tiny bit of story and context.

Sadly, I have a sense of guilt when I play video games for any significant extent of time. This is quite the turn-around from my pubescent poopsocking days, sayeth I.

lol this has to be a joke... mgsv is getting rave reviews from EVERYONE because it is patently one of the greatest games ever made.

far cry 4 is a good game, but not on the same level, not even close, IMO.

why even make recommendations when you haven't played either game...

Far Cry 4 is pure shit, just like Far Cry 3.

The True Adonis:
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.
