Both are great games, I'd definatly get both. FC3 first then Xcom though. Xcom didnt last very long for me and was fun but did kind of drag out and I couldnt play it for more than a couple hours at a time. I just got FC3 a few days ago and its alot of fun (IF I COULD FIND FREAKIN PIGS)

I'd agree, and I've never played FC3. XCom is fun, but it's very shallow, with fairly limited replayability. I found that halfway through my first game it was already feeling repetitive.

XCOM was one of the most highly addictive gaming experiences I've had in a long while. It is also perfect background noise fuel.

Farcray 3 has a lot of annoying things. The mission design is tedious (oh look another burning/collapsing building!) and I have had 2 bugged scripts so far meaning that I had to load to an earlier save

Some of the NPCs are well done, Buck and Vaas especially but in both cases the end result was just silly. The former made no sense and in the latter I'm still not sure what the hell happened.

Its a good 'open' world, aside from those damned radio towers, but the missions have become a chore which is a shame as the story started out well (for an FPS game at least).

Also the quick time events are no fun at all.

Are you sure that the saved game thing is a bug? This is a game designed for consoles after all.

Animals aren't hostile unless you are just about on top of them and as they make a lot of noise its easy to just avoid them. The hunter quest for the golden tiger is an excersize in frustration though, I died soooo many times.

I know, right? I got lucky by making it on try 5

1 try only. That potion that boosts damage is very useful ^^

Oh, the tv we have here is so crappy I cant read the little text so I have no idea what the syringes do besides the green one. It sucks too because I enjoy it but id enjoy it more if I could read about the water buffalos and other bs
