Microsoft Most powerful console available. The Xbox is doing well on its homecourt, but on the road sales aren't dominating. |

Far Cry 3 - Saved the best for Last?
![]() Far Cry 3 doesn't come out until December 4th, so the thread is a little premature. But from what I've seen from the videos, and the things I've read in reviews/heard on podcasts. Far Cry 3 the last big video game release of 2012, might just be the best of 2012. Reviews:

Looks pretty sweet. I'll probably pick it up once I finish the other games I still haven't completed.

Same here but I do play on the PC. I just don't let it dominate my money or play time by trying to keep up with the newest games running on my machine. I mainly use it to play games that work better on the PC like RTS and Civilization type of games.

Doing all settings on High with DX9 gives me consistent 50-60 FPS. Good enough and the game still looks great. I just wish I had the rig to max this game on Ultra.

i5 2500K @ 4GHz
GTX 580 1.5 VRAM 16GB 1600 RAM I would be fine at 1080p but 1440p is pretty demanding and my 580 doesn't have enough VRAM... if I knew better I would have gotten a 3GB version when I built my rig. Also one of my 580's shit the bed. I haven't done much testing to see if it's just the card or possibly the mobo's PCI-E slot got screwed.. too lazy. lol I'm just going to deal with it. Next upgrade will be the GTX 700 series. |

1.5 ain't enough for those high resolutions, mayne. I went nuts and got the 4GB 680, but it was worth it for the 5760x1080 greatness.

I didn't even know they made a 4GB 680... damn. How do you like triple monitors? I tried it and it was cool but I much much prefer a single 27" at 1440p. |

I enjoy cheating in BF3 online lol
I currently have been using the power of my PC to play Crusader Kings 2 though, which consist of maps and menus only.

Crusader Kings is basically Game of Thrones: The Game. It isn't about controlling a country or army, but rather about controlling and expanding your houses influence and size.
I told Jag yesterday, but I had a mentally retarded daughter who also happened to be a dwarf. Yes, mentally retarded is actually a trait in the game. Anyway, like a good father, I was trying to marry her off to a prince so that one day she might become queen and have me some kingly grandchildren. Well, king wasn't hearing that. So, I send my spymaster to his country. 3 years later, she sends word that the king is actually a homosexual. I use that as leverage to get in there and marry that girl off. Some years later, she died in a "mysterious accident" before she came of age to marry. The game basically always has multiple threads like this playing out all the time.
