This is a sanction note. I believe far cry isn't a good game, yet history has proven me wrong. When we take a look at far cry 1 or 2 or when we play them, we feel something very interesting. This hardcore way of seeing modern time fps, this everlasting unpredictability, this bizarre mixbag of infiltration, gunfights and environmental control... This is a unique proposal. When you play far cry 3, wether you play it in 2012 or 2023, you have a strange feeling that nothing matters. All the game can be played with the smae bow or sniper without at any time having one reason to pickup a shotgun or a grenade launcher ? It doesn't matter. You have to play the game with the x button always pushed to spent half of your playtime in looting animations and struggling against your way too small inventory ? It doens't matter. Gunfights aren't intense, gunfeel is poor ? It doens't matter. Stealth is that uninteresting but that quicker than loud that it becomes a go-to unfun fast problem resolving swiss knife ? It doesn't matter.

Plus, I did not find Vaas that good as an antagonist.
This game isn't for me, I recommand you play the first two far cry. If you liked far cry 3, all its sequels are the same game.
