I've played far cry 4 on/off for a few years on the ps3. Didn't "beat" everything because it doesn't always show what missions you haven't done as far as side quests, races etc.
I started playing far cry 3 on ps3 recently and actually found it a lot more interesting. The story was more than just a war between two factions. You're trying to find your friends. From the beginning it actually seemed like a more in depth game. I found the fights happen a LOT more often as in if you kill one if the "enemies" many more will come to replace that character.
Pretty interesting game and very enjoyable so far. At my rate zi should reach the end in another 2 years. Might give far cry 2 a shot after that if its available for ps3.
The notably most annoying thing about this console and games.. I understand that there probably isn't a lot of oem hardware available in terms of controllers and so on... but is is extremely frustrating when you're in the middle of a battle or a fight and your character keeps turning left. Trying to remember to turn right after turning left isn't a legit solution
I bought a couple aftermarket controllers that had the same problems.
The game is great, make sure you have a decent controller and nothing else to do for a Saturday, it will keep you busy.
