    Far Cry 3 is pretty damn good. Played about 4/5 hours just now got to the second Radio Tower.

    That is all I have done is go get radio towers. I have all of the weapons unlocked now.

    If they don't make Hearthfire and Dawnguard free, I won't be getting them. I may not get Dragonborn either, just out of principle.

    They won't be free. Neither are really worth getting anyway.

    If you get Skyrim on PC then there really is no point.

    I've done 3 radio towers so far. That includes the first one when you start the game. I've been mostly exploring just blindly, instead of doing missions. I want the game to last a long time.

    That is what I'm waiting on. Waiting until I get my PC, and then they can take their little DLC's and shove them up their ass. User created mods are always much better than developers DLC's.

    Out of principle? Some of you crack me up. I'm gonna play the hell out of it and will enjoy every minute of it. The DLC being delayed hasn't been that big a deal for me. I have been busy and there have been other games to play. I'm not gonna cheat myself to prove a point no one cares about.

    Overpriced for what you get, and Bethesda screwed over the PS3 community. Instead, I'll wait until I get my PC, and download mod after mod while I sift through thousands of mods looking for the ones I want... for free.

    I have already played both and neither are worth a buy IMO. Dawngaurd was not bad but was fairly short.

    Hearthfire was just made it so you could build a house. It was pretty worthless though. You were very limited by what you could do. Also all of the display cases were glitched.

    I can understand not buying it because of what they did to the PS3 community with that game. Aside from being overpriced in your opinion I am not sure if paying for the DLC is part of your principles gripe or you think it should be free because of how they screwed the community over. The viewpoint of wanting DLC to be cheap and/or free always baffles me though. It is like people forget developers need to make a significant enough profit on it to keep operating, and for there to be future support for the game.

    DLC that XBOX and PC have had for what... 6 months... shouldn't be full price 6 months later. Hell, full retail games drop in price after a couple months. DLC, which is highly overpriced($20) for what you get, shouldn't be full price after screwing over an entire community for months. The freezing issues, frame rate drops, glitches... Skyrim on PS3 has been a disaster. I still love the game, when I look passed these issues though. Great game at the core, and I can't wait to play it at 60 frames per second and top notch graphics on PC.

    Gotcha, yeah it probably shouldn't be full priced, but they aren't going to make it free either. Have to justify it to the bean counters upstairs regardless of how they have treated the community.

    Haven't looked at the video of that one. I am going to wind up using the plasma cutter primarily anyway, so it doesn't really matter where I get it.

  • Just a reminder the Spike VGA's are on tonight. There are some big games that are debuting trailers and maybe even some new accouncements.

    Also since we were talking about Fallout 3 today I figured I would share one of my nerd items.

    Hurry up and get on the PC. You're missing out. Far Cry 3 is stunning with how good the graphics are on it. I'll post a pic later on.

    I have been meaning to take a screen shot but just keep forgetting. It looks pretty ridiculous.

    Yes they are all on PC. I think the original Bioshock is one of the best games of all time. Shooter/RPG type games.

  • Speculation that Phantom Pain is actually a Metal Gear game. Certainly looks like it.

    New property The Phantom Pain has been announced, but it could just be a coded trailer for Metal Gear Solid...

    I just cannot agree with this.

    What are the time periods they are using, do you know?
