There's a lot of roll your eyes about going on here, but here's a few random things I like:
- NPCs giving you little tips about nearby mini-missions
- putting your gun away allows you to wander the occupied island anonymously
- people make fun of you for wanting a normy life

random things that are terrible:
- every single car honks at you
- too many guns. I want like five, not fifty.
- gratuitous knife animations
- puddles on hills
- Far Cry 1 had plants that bend around you. What happened to that?
