I really don't want to attack Far Cry 3, because I bloody love it. The problem with listing what a game gets wrong is it can start to look like an attack. I argue the first half of this below, with the second half tomorrow. And I also argue that Far Cry 3 contains some of the stupidest mistakes imaginable - in fact, beyond imaginable, because there's no understandable way they could reach the finished game unless it were in fact coded by angry, angry tigers. I argue that Far Cry 3 contains some of the features for which we've spent our years screaming at the sky, a real understanding of why fun can be more worthwhile than realism, emergent play, and angry, angry tigers. Overall it is undoubtedly an absolutely stunning game, ridiculously fun and utterly engrossing. Far Cry 3 is a game of enormous juxtaposition.
