I like bethesda games, i just hate their combat. Always clunky as hell.
Bioware writes some good stuff, and a lot of cheese to go along with it. I like their games but would like a more open world and a spacebar that wasn't trying to do so many things at once. Far Cry 3 has a lot of elements of a game like skyrim with some assassins creed thrown in with good FPS combat. It's why I am still up at 3 a.m. Beautiful game, too. Huge open world that looks amazing. The story is pretty good so far, too. And yeah, I still have several games from steam's winter sale that I haven't touched yet. |

Apparently Far Cry 3 is Skyrim with guns.
Gonna have to check that out when I build my next box.

You should grab Just Cause 2. On steam for $2.99 right now which is too cheap to pass up. And it has a huge open world and some great gameplay. Everything in the game is over the top. From shooting your grappling hook and helicopters and reeling in and taking them over to the story, which is fun, but full of cheezy characters and cliches.
I cannot recommend that game highly enough at $2.99. |

System Shock 2 is less than 3 dollars right now. I'm picking it that game up. Again.

I did download Tomb Raider yesterday. Still engrossed in my latest go-around with Skyrim, but I'll give it a look at some point. |

Skyrim with guns would be Fallout 3, which was a great game, but again with the clunky combat from bethesda. Let me stop and look at my wrist and tab through a bunch of menus ever time I want to do anything, including kill something. The story itself is more linear in FarCry 3, but there is a ton to do off mission, and I like the combat better. |

You're going to be disappointed if you get into Far Cry 3 with that thought process.

The only real similarity is that they give you 3 islands you can free roam on. Comparing that game to Skyrim is a slap in the face to Bethesda.

That's pretty cool, though. Are the islands devoid of story/interesting NPCs/side quests?

There are no interesting sidequests because there's nothing interesting on the islands. The sidequests consist of hunting challenges or killing the same bad guys over and over. There are the "get from point A to point B on this vehicles under X amount of time challenges" too. The main story is pretty cool, though. It's a good, fun game, that's for sure, but it just doesn't compare to Skyrim.
