What a different time, and yet somehow the same..
Already played this one (on PS3, a lifetime ago), and i guess i bought it to replay on PC at some point, but it was only the recent achievements added that really pushed me towards it.. i think i was also just in the mood for an uncomplicated Ubisoft open-world
Far Cry 3 still has a good bit of style; you can see they were flexing their creativity a bit, with the vibes of The Beach, sprinkled with the Alice in Wonderland references, and the light commentary on video-game violence being enjoyable (even if that enjoyability ends up making it sound a bit hollow)
Gun-play is still pretty solid, and Vaas is still such a believably unhinged villain. I haven't played any other Far Cry after this, as they all seemed like they were just trying to recapture this one.. maybe i'm being prejudiced though
Was also expecting to replay Blood Dragon, but my achievements synced across as soon as i opened it, since i actually played that one before on PC
