Whats Your "Destiny"

Get prepared because here comes a rant boys. Ill start off with putting it out there that we waited four years for this game to be published, four years Bungie and this is what you give me. An online first-person shooter with  in and out random matchmaking, sounds like a pretty innovative idea right? If only it was that simple. The raids are filled with ordinary bosses junked up with light years of health and incorrectly coded minions. Fair enough every game has its errors and we can stand shooting about 20 minutes worth of clips into a boss before it dies. That is until the end game raids, Bungie describes these raids as too impossible for you and a bunch of randoms, which means these bosses are going to have a butt tonnes of health, so as an executive decision Bungie forces to you to find five of your own friends before you can do the raid.

Oh so you actually manage to find some real friends and do these raids well great because all of that time you spent PvEing counts for nothing in the multiplayer, that is if you can bear the search times.
Once you do get in a game then most of your time will be spent dead because its completely unbalanced.

Hating the multiplayer you still try and trek on to the highest rated part of the game, the giant worlds. They look beautiful and all but they probably still would've looked the same on one of the last gen consoles anyway and the only objective of each world is, find the five chests and you're done now go move onto the next world.

Extra note: don't bother playing the game on a harder difficulty because you get jack for doing it..

On a Serious Note

Could you believe it? Neither could I. But seriously there's going to be more 100% serious reviews on this blog and they start now with one of my most loved games, "Far Cry 3". Yep that means this review is for those people who are a whole two years late to the party. Far Cry 3 starts you off with a great tutorial, to bad you wont use half of the information later in the game, as for location your somewhere in the India ocean, on an island filled with drugged up junkies and psychotic 'pirates' which is just about as original as a game can get.

The story of the game is at times hard to follow but if you put in the effort to try and stay tuned with it you wont be regretting anything. As for the plain way to say the whole story in a bundle, rescue your friends from the baddies.

Moving onto the soundtrack, the game features hip-hop, dub step, retro, classical and dance, a weird combination right? You would think that would never work but it all aligns so well with whats happening. A+

Ohhh the dreaded part of any Far Cry 3 review, the character model. In the game you play as Jason who you start imagining to be this tattooed up athlete,  that is until you realize that he is one of the supporting cast for Jersey Shore, the man obviously brimmed up with fake tan and steroids. We'll call him a behemoth at best but alas we cannot have the great game without Jason so my advice just don't open too many menus.
