Bf3 and slow couldn't be further from the truth t2d, it's probably the fastest playing bf game to date and i truely beleive you'd be pleasantly surprised.
True the beta was absolute and utter garbage but boy is the full release different, go on give it a go!!!

The post was meant to be on the humorous side but i like the idea Spook of going round stabbing people with big nappy pins and i hope we get a patch for that one.

Skyrim may well be a really great game Spook I'm not saying its not but they are just not for me as they require to much talking and exploring,on the other hand so does Zelda but for some strange reason i just adore those games and always have the patience to complete them.

Jorkilla im glad you thought the beta was Pants because thats the reason i ditched this game as i could not see it been any different,may be one day when I'm bored stiff i may try it but having not liked previous games then I'm in no rush especially when there is so much out.

Metro in real game is nothing like the beta, better textures and the glitching appears gone (XBox that is)

Breaking into the tunnel system is fun, and worthy of any of the MW3 choke points.

Even the tanks have a boost (sprint) button now

Metro is awesome, it is a very frantic level, trying to hold point B on Conquest is a logistical nightmare but if you do it and have either A or C you can keep it locked down nicely. Same with Grand Bazaar that level is very fast paced on Conquest, trying to keep the Alleyway when you have an RPG zipping past your ear every 2 seconds is pretty tough.

T2D, I told you about Skyrim lol my exact words I believe were do you have the patience for this, but I suppose you have to at least give it a go to see if it's your thing but we all know you pretty well now and know you like bright colours moving fast with little to no thought involved, have you tried Mario Kart?

Ho Ho Jaxx

Actually i enjoyed Mario Kart Briefly like a lot of games they have to be classics for me to finish them and you you guessed didn't finish this one either.

I new also Jaxx that Skyrim would be to deep for me and a very long game with much to do but you have to have a go when a game like this gets such fantastic reviews.

Suppose i like blowing things up and killing things and thats why i like MW and silly games like Saint Row The Third.

If Skyrim was the only new game and there was no others on the horizon and no MW then i dare say i would persevere with it a lot more.

Turns out my girlfriend has bought me MW3 so that can be crossed off the list
I've just picked up F1 2011 as I haven't played any F1 games for ages. I tried the Demo of Forza, thought it was good but still a bit too arcadey so am happy enough with GT5.
Battlefield 3 can wait for a little while...

To the other suggestions - Skyrim isn't my sort of game and I never really got on with Saints Row. LoZ I would love to play, but I have one issue - no Wii

but I suppose you have to at least give it a go to see if it's your thing but we all know you pretty well now and know you like bright colours moving fast with little to no thought involved, have you tried Mario Kart?

Yeah mate, I understood the humour. I was laughing hard but my own response did not come across as it was intended so well. It was a gentle mickey take but sounded a bit too scolding which was not intended at all.

The nappy pin idea is all right I thought. Can imagine plucking people's eyes out with it.

Jorkila is right about BF3. Some maps are fast and frantic and there's little reliance on armoured vehicles overall (which is a shame as I'm great in a tank!). You'd love some of the more infantry based maps and there's plenty of modes like squad deathmatch that might work better for you and rush.

Skyrim is pretty tedious in terms of listening to the NPCs drivel on about their circumstances. Like I give a toss? Just tell me what you want me to do and let's get on with it! It's a godsend that you can skip sections of dialogue and cut to the chase. I used to use the subtitles for this purpose as you could be sure you wouldn't miss anything important.

I played Skrim till gone 3am this morning and only had 4 hours sleep. I'm going back in in a minute so if you don't hear from me in a while it'll be because I've died of exhaustion! Still a way off from that I think as I think I will be going to bed early tonight!

Nothing wrong with your response or humour mate keep it coming as i love a little forum banter.

Yourself and Jorkilla are doing a fine job in convincing me to take the plunge here regarding battlefield 3, i was tempted by Assassins tomorrow but that is not exactly getting fantastic reviews .

Saints Row and Zelda end of the week and Wednesday i might just go out and get Battlefield 3 because i know that i would enjoy it far more than Skyrim but never as much as MW3 .........

If it played like the limited amount of time i spent with the Beta [about 2 minutes] then it will be another waste of money,but then again I've done quite a bit of that this year alone.

is Assassins not getting good reviews? Loved the last two, thought they were fantastic a bit different from the norm.
