Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and lost time

I've been busy...so busy I haven't been writing. I have been running a gamut of games, life, and emotions, I haven't had much time for writing.
No more excuses, here we go. If you haven't played it yet, buy Far Cry 3, i can pretty much guarantee that you won't be disappointed. The story is pretty simple to begin with, fun in the sun with your friends on a tropical paradise, but things turn for the worst when you and your friends are captured by bloodthirsty pirates, and I don't mean the ones with eyepatches. You soon find yourself escaping, only to be told find out that you need to save your friends, and the only way is to destroy pirates.
I have only been playing the story mode, working up slowly towards one heck of a tattoo. As you gain experience you start a tree of skills, some more deadly than others. As you choose which skills you want to use, your forearm becomes more tattooed, and you gain respect of locals and free the islands from powerful drug lords. The skills you use depend on how you want to play, and can help you with hunting, which is an essential part of the game.
You hunt for skins, which then can help build better equipment to hold ammunition, or crafted syringes. Different animals give you different items, and there is a challenge to gain a legendary beasts skin as a final upgrade.
In order to continue your revenge, you need weapons, and the locals provide you with whatever you need, as long as you have the cash. Weapons become permanently yours as you open cell towers, and complete missions. You also can upgrade certain weapons, increasing range or silencing them.
As you defeat bases, you unlock way points you can fast travel to. These have stand alone weapon caches, which you can sell miscellaneous items to to make ammo and weapon purchases.
The actual game play is almost exactly like the second with a change that helps if you are trying to get to cover, or get into stealth mode. It is a slide, that you do while running, you slide, and come up in a stealth position. It's great for sneaking up on bases, or in a gun fight getting behind cover.
The feel of the game is amazing, there are animals roaming, some more deadly than others, and you can choose to do challenges and side missions galore. There a few spots that will have your heart pounding, and some that will have you swearing and wondering why you bought the game in the first place. Overall though, if you want to get a game that will last you a while and is fun, this is it!
Dishonored should be up next, I have more to tell you!
Keep on gaming!
