So I recently got Far Cry 3 and have been having a blast playing that game. The stealth takedowns are absolutely epic, the landscape is BEAUTIFUL and uber rich, the npcs aren't brain dead stupid like in some shooters, etc.
The only complaint I have is that for the most part the crafting system is a waste of time. Point in case- syringes. You can craft syringes that either heal you or do special things like temporarily enhance your senses, make you fire resistant, etc. The problem is you come across health kits and the herbs to make healing syringes so often that you practically have no need for the other recipes (with the exception maybe of the underwater breathing one) because you easily can have 10 healing syringes and like 30 green herbs on you at any time. Cross that with the fact that crafting outright pauses the game and it feels like you never need anything else but your bullets and the cash to buy them.
