Far Cry 3 is fun as fuck. Really regretting that I bought Hitman: Absolution before it though, that game's a pile of shit compared to the classic Hitman games. Going to be seeing how much I can trade it in for.
Do you find new Hitman too easy/easier than the previous games?
It just really, really annoys me that the challenge in the previous games was always figuring out clever ways to gain access to otherwise secure areas, and now it's suddenly more about just not being seen at all. The disguise mechanic pisses me off, there's no reason one cop, surrounded by other cops, should notice me when I'm wearing the same thing and I'm 25+ feet away... not to mention it makes no difference if you're wearing stuff that covers your face.
Plus there's the cutscenes, the booming Inception-style BRRRRRM soundtrack, and all the stupid missions that are just sneaking from point A to point B in a game series that's always been about open levels. Like foureyedjim said, it's not really that bad all in all, but it's not Hitman -- I just played through Blood Money (which is great), so as soon as I found myself in a rooftop chase sequence with a helicopter blowing everything around me to shit I was super over the whole thing.
I'm just stoked they're releasing 3 of the classic ones with HD graphics. I'm ready to buy the shit out of that and forget Absolution ever happened.
