yeah i was off about far cry. For some reason the repeated mechanics actually get funner as the game goes on. It's interesting seeing video games legitimately rival action films in terms of dialogue and set pieces.
Ubisoft really took the assassins creed approach with the 3rd entry. More money then you know what to spend it on, ridiculous amount of obtainable loot, scaling towers to reveal new locations, just an overall streamlining that fortunately doesn't become completely mind numbing.
It's crazy addictive but i still think it misses an edge. Though it does all the mechanics right, none of them feel distinctly far cry. Too much superficial reward and no real sense of accomplishment sometimes.
