Yeah I did it once, wasn't all that thrilled with it

Since then I've just been playing single seasons trying out different teams

can you trade future draft picks?

You can't structure deals, not sure why they took that out.

Yes you can trade future picks.

Got myself some Turtle Beach x12's and I'm amazed, it's like a whole new experience in games like Black Ops 2.

Anyone have thoughts on Far Cry 3 or Dishonored? Trying to decide which one to pick up.

Far Cry 3. I can't say enough good things about this game. My only complaint is I never have enough time to play it during the week.

I played Far Cry 2 a couple years ago, and I thought it was okay despite the lack of fast travel points, the constantly respawning enemy checkpoints (making travel much longer) the annoying malaria that kicked in the middle of the gunfights and your gun constantly jamming due to wear and tear.

The good news is that Far Cry 3 has none of that. In fact, there isn't a single thing about Far Cry 3 that really annoys me so far, and I'm about halfway through the game. There's so much to do too, and it constantly keeps you on your toes because of the pirates and the wildlife that will attack you if you're not in a vehicle. And with fast travel spots all over the map, if you don't want to drive a long ways to a mission site or something it makes it super quick getting there.

Long story short, Far Cry 3 lives up to the hype, for me personally.

Thanks. I'm kinda leaning toward FC3 based on everything I've read so far.

I've been playing FC3 for a few days now, I like it but I can see what you're saying as far as the time commitment. The other day I was playing and all I was doing was hunting and crafting, and before I knew it an hour and a half wizzed by. I've gotta get back to the missions. Plus I get distracted just f'ing with the pirates. Fun game.

Do you need to play 1 and 2 also or is this a stand alone?

It stands on it's own, I never played 1 or 2
