About time CM is finally coming out, when was that first announced like 3-4 years ago? Feels like i've been hearing about it forever, Last Light sounds good, i'm wondering if Prey 2 will ever see the light of day, oh yeah and Splinter Cell: Blacklist also comes out next year.
Back to the game, another cool thing is the skills system, you earn XP for killing enemies in certain ways(I.E. stealth takedowns, headshots, grenades, etc) and you can upgrade your character in various areas, like being able to hold more syringes, being able to stay underwater longer, taking less damage from falling. And you don't have to grind all the time to earn XP either unlike most games, i've been playing normally and i've already gotten quite a few skills so far. I also like that you can heal yourself indefinitely even if you run out of health syringes, and it's pretty easy to craft most syringes, as plants are all over the place and once you've increased your rucksack's carrying capacity with animal skins, it's quite easy to get through enemy encounters without too much trouble. It feels like Ubisoft really went out of they're way to avoid making this game frustrating like FC2 was at times, which makes me respect them a whole lot.
As for the story, it got really interesting today, turns out Vaas isn't the most screwed up villain, he has a boss named Volk and he's said to be even MORE crazy and evil, and i also met a some CIA guy who wanted me to torch a bunch of weed fields(similar to the mission in Instincts), and oh man was that fun, you get a flamethrower and you can also craft fireproof syringes which once used, let you burn everything in sight without having to worry about dying yourself, you're burning and blowing everything up while kickass tribal music is playing in the background, so far FC3 is a serious contender for best game of the this year.
