Weekend Confirmed 86 - Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Saints Row the Third
by Garnett Lee, Nov 11, 2011 11:11am PSTThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 arrived this week and the Weekend Confirmed crew takes a little break from playing them to share their stories from the games. Wouldn't you know, a cold bug seems to be sweeping through the offices as well, laying out Xav and sapping Garnett. He carries on, though, joined by Jeff and Christian because the show must go on. And boy does it. Saints Row the Third also got into the mix of what we've been playing and we take a look at whether it's odd to play portable games from the comforts of our couch and what we learned about Mass Effect 3 from the beta that briefly leaked out on Live. As always, we wrap it all up with Finishing Moves and our football Tailgate.

The game ACTIVELY lies to you. You can pour bullets into an enemy, hash-marks and all, have them kill you in one burst, and then the kill came shows you apparently didn't even get a shot off.
I'm only playing this game with friends, and I already hate myself for spending the $60 to keep this mediocrity machine powered.

Also neither of these issue were in CoD4, it got progressivly worse since MW2.
(Just another point to show that these games get worse and worse.)
