I still haven't caught up on last years games.

Halo is being made by 343 Studios.

I can't wait for the Zone of the Enders HD Collection. Both are some of my favorite PS2 games.

You need to get back into this! I need people to play with fool!

So I think I am almost done with Mass Effect 3. I am torn on my next gaming choice. So of course I turn to you guys. Here are my thoughts.

- Mass Effect Series Again: Love playing as a Paragon Vanguard with a power focus but I would like to replay as a Renegade Infiltrator with a Sniper focus. My fear is that I will not have the desire to replay so soon.

- Assassins Creed Revelations/ 3: Loved the first 3 games need to catch up especially with 3 right around the corner.

- Dishonored: Looks to be pretty good. Won a ton of awards at E3 and is going to be out next week.

- Guild Wars 2: I know this is a PC game but alas... I love MMOs unfortunately none can seem to suck me in long term. With no subscription fee at least I can always come back. Vidae others seem to still like it months later.

I am mainly torn between GW2, Assassins Creed and ME all over again.

Guild Wars 2 is absolutely terrible. I'm hesitant on Dishonored, anything developed by/published by Bethesda makes me cringe. It does look interesting though, as their games usually do.

Soo.. Mass Effect again!

Well I like Bethesda so that works in my favor at least. As for GW2 why is it garbage? I have heard such good things.

Also what about AC Revelations and 3 as you omitted them from your response.

I always like the concept of Bethesda games, but playing them is another story for me.

GW2 just has nothing to do, that is fun anyway. Dungeons are just a zerg from the graveyard to continue the fight with bosses, as they do not reset when you die. Without the true dps/heal/tank roles, pve is just meh. Raids don't exist. The pvp is just awful. WvWvW is a joke, laggy and super unorganized (my server anyway). It ends up being giant uncoordinated groups that run in to each other most of the time. The battleground/warzone like pvp is decent, but the combat I found to be underwhelming.

I'm not the biggest AC fan, but I'd play AC over GW2. I really can't say for Dishonored as it hasn't even been released yet. It looks good, probably will be good, I'm just hesitant because of Bethesda's involvement.

ImBrotherCain · 10-04-2012, 11:12 AM

Hmmm

Well I appreciate the input. I think I might give ME another shot. If not I will probably break down and get AC Revelations.

Revelations was probably my favorite AC. The first leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, but they've done a good job improving every game.

Raiderz4Life · 10-04-2012, 11:48 AM

I need to buy the other AC's before 3 comes out. Which ones are the MUST play? Cuz there's like 4 or 5 of em isn't there?

Jvig43 · 10-04-2012, 11:52 AM

Not enough Halo 4 talk around these parts.

I'd say the AC2 line of games, AC2, Brotherhood, and Revelations. The first one I'd skip and just watch the story online somewhere.

I really haven't been excited for it since it isn't Bungie, but I haven't followed the development close at all. So, sell me on this game!

Halo 4 shall be epic. We'll need to get together a DC throwdown when it comes out.

brat316 · 10-04-2012, 12:06 PM

I"m take the wait and see approach. Bungie isn't making it, in one sense it can be great if they take a different take on it, on the other hand that different take could be tragic.

Raiderz4Life · 10-04-2012, 12:13 PM

I actually think it'll be better because Bungie ISN'T making it. People forget 343 had a big hand in the franchise. I think they'll totally rock it.

As a studio, they haven't developed a game. That's why I'm skeptical.

Jvig43 · 10-04-2012, 12:34 PM

Agreed, after Reach the Halo franchise needed someone new. Reach was just, so so bad.

So far the things they have added and brought back are enough to pull me back in. I am skeptical of the grenades still (although you have to have a perk now to pick them up off dead bodies) and the melee system (same as reachs, punch someone twice and their dead. They need to revert back to halo 3's system). But the BR being brought back, no bloom with the redicle, new vehicles and tons of weapons. Plus every week they release new campaign missions for four player co-op. Basically CoD's spec ops but new every week and free. Even if multiplayer doesnt pan out, that will alone be worth it.

Raiderz4Life · 10-04-2012, 12:40 PM

The BR is big for me. I used to rock that thing like nobody's business. Then for Reach they gave me a ******* DMR and I was like....what do I do with this??

Jvig43 · 10-04-2012, 12:45 PM

The DMR was one of the worst guns. I remember some bungie tech guy pumping it up like it was this great gun, "if youre a fan of the BR, youll love the DMR" he said. If you were a fan of the BR, you ******* hated that thing because the last shot was ridiculously stupid to hit with your aimer being so huge at that point.

Anyway I am down for some more SWDC clans. Despite Reach sucking, playing BTB with everyone was the most fun I had with that game. So many epic moments.

brat316 · 10-04-2012, 01:06 PM

forget all you youngsters, bring back Halo 1 Shotgun. That shotgun was so powerful. Also Beaver/Battle Creek, I loved that level.

Halo 3 had the widest rang of weapons.

Shotgun/melee combo is fun. Also plasma pistol and melee.

Raiderz4Life · 10-04-2012, 01:12 PM

I still love grenades.

That was the best. That Halo 3 tournament was the great. As the 3rd best halo player (as per that tourney and playing with Jvig not to long ago) I cannot wait to see if we can do it again in Halo 4.

Raiderz4Life · 10-04-2012, 01:36 PM

Better start practicing then. Think I need to buy a new xbox though =/. I also need a wired controller.

themaninblack · 10-04-2012, 02:33 PM

I will definitely be purchasing Halo 4 when it comes out but I am admittedly hesitant about it. I didn't hate Reach as much as this board seems to, loved the custom maps/map building and such but yea I totally miss the BR. Will probably be down to play with y'all when it comes out.
