My Thoughts on Stuff!: Games, Games, Oh so many games!

Games, Games, Oh so many games!

With so many titles being released at E3 the question on my mind is.

What do I want first!



Out of the three front runners (BF3, MW3 and Skyrim), my vote is cast on BF3. Being an avid Battlefield 2 player, I have been long awaiting the next game in this series. I thought BFBC2 could be the next amazing game but it was a let down in my opinion, after unlocking every weapon at level 30 (no lifed for 2 weeks) I grew bored very quickly!

This is where games such as the Call of Duty series and Battlefield 2 shine. In BF2, it took AGES to unlock the next weapon, I played for around a year and never unlocked them all. And with the prestige option in the recent CoD games, it allows the player to have something to strive for. I hope BF3 gives me something to strive for.

I will not be purchasing MW3 as it looks far to similar to MW2 for my liking, and with dedicated server not being confirmed for PC, it is a definite no in my books. You would think IW would have learnt from their mistakes with MW2 on PC.



Skyrim has completely flown under my radar as RPG's are definitely not my strong point. I owned Oblivion on PC for a while but due to my impatience I used cheat codes and lost interest in the game. I also feel that a 300+ hour campaign is far too much for me!

On a final note, I feel that an unnoticed gem has arisen from E3. This gem, being Payday.



Lets face it, who hasn't dreamed of robbing a bank and getting out with millions of dollars! Well this game allows us to make that dream come true. I am eagerly awaiting the release of this game! Possibly more so then Battlefield 3.

What are you eagerly awaiting?

  1. Being the lover of CoD that I am, it's hard for me to admit that BF3 is going to be better than MW3. But I do admit to this, because it seems like MW3 is just a continuation of MW2. Sure there's gonna be new story to it, but I don't think there will be any difference in game play.

    Excellent review!

  2. I'm waiting for BF3. The CoD range just isn't interesting any more. Battlefield is a more teamwork-oriented game, and that's what I like about it; Call of Duty is just running around and killing everyone, which gets boring after a while.

  9. God I can't wait for Heist. Also Battlefield 3 looks to be shaping up for something really good.

  10. Payday looks like a L4D mod. Looks like fun though. I love teamwork games.

  11. I love the idea behind payday but it sounds like it could easily fail, I hope it turns out good as I plan on getting in on that heist.

  12. Payday sort of just struck out of the blue for me, too. Looks great, and the idea is priceless - although its been done before - the "Heist" mode in Twisted Metal, I believe.

    Either way, not a bad lineup, and I can totally see why you're dismissing both Skyrim and MW3.

    Personally, the game I'm hyped for now is Overstrike. We need more games that don't take themselves seriously.

  13. @Lintire wow, thanks for telling me about overstrike! It looks like great fun!

  14. I am looking forward to Skyrim so much, BF3, not so much since I already know I will suck at it, and sadly, it probably will not be as good as they are trying to make us think, especially if they go with yet another MW clone..aka Bad Company 2. Payday looks interesting though.
