FC2 is also a good but it has some bugs which can detract from the overall experience and the whole idea of degrading weaponry becomes problematic when you just wana shoot stuff up. BUT it did introduce the awesome fire mechanic which is even better in FC 3.
No. You don't understand. Why your weapons get weaken because you suppose to spend diamonds to buy weapons. You got a weapon which is very strong like one that used in late game, then you can use it like you own it? No. Doesn't make sense, Like radio towers in Far cry 3. In that game, spending money is almost worthless. But in Far cry 2, every part of the game makes sense. Even the parts of illness and long walking that people whine about. Illness is just a bonus mission, it's not optional it forces you to do but, make sense because of in Africa. long walking is making sense too. You either choose facing a danger to get supply, or taking a bit of time to avoid fights. Seriously, hate walking, but wanna play an open world game? I don't get what these people think.
In far cry 3, the mini map indicates everything. treasures, and even enemies. You drive through almost plane fields, looking at the mini map, stop the vehicle, gather the treasures. But they prepared a high budget but you suppose to look at the tiny little map almost always? Doesn't make sense. You can turn off the mini map but now when you wanna know where you are, game poses. They downgraded map. 2's was much better.
Every part of FC3 doesn't make sense But people loved it because of the cartoon like characters, dramatic cut scenes, talking emotional protagonist, easy game play like stealth stuff and the mini map, many easy mode add-ons which are called "leveling". If you just wanna beat enemies, worth it but like me, an old school gamer, 3 was just a nightmare. It's all my opinion but 3 was just CHILDISH CHEAP BOREDOM for me.
Sorry for a long text. I quoted yours but I'm not pointing only you. I just can't stand how 3 was stupid but beloved. But I understand this is modern game's age and people just love beating games without strategies or challenges. Even there's a game of mashing buttons to win people would love it if the elements other than gameplay look neat I can say.
I understand why it happens and it's suppose to show a more realistic take on travel and survival but it's an FPS, more time and effort should have been made on improving gun play rather than on all that stuff. That's all I'm saying. FC 2 is a good game but it lacks the tight shooting of the original or the more accessible and honestly, more fun elements of FC3.
Each to his own I suppose.
