    I've liked them all equally well, each for different reasons ... actually the same reasons the environment and game play.

    I did not like the re-spawning guard posts of FC2, but that is probably the only real gripe I have about any of the 3 (or 4) FC games.

    I probably go more for the tropics and jungle than the highlands, but I was surprised how much I liked the Kyrat environment. A pleasant surprise.

    Dude, you saved me from saying all that. Got to say I would love to see FC2 redone with the positive elements of FC3 and FC4. Imagine being able to go on Safari in Africa to get pelts for crafting?

    Did I ever tell you the definition of Insanity ?

    I liked Far Cry 3 more as Far Cry 4 has too much shadows and because of mountains much part of are is inaccessible.

    So I would go for Far Cry 3.

    Because of the addition of Outpost Master, Hostage Rescues, Fortresses etc., I would say FC4 was better. I thought the main missions superseded the ones in FC3 too.

    The only aspects about FC4 I didn't like were the unrealistic Reggie and Yogi missions and the Shangri-la ones. Another slight gripe was that it was too easy to make money. I stopped fleecing dead enemies in the end.

    FC2 has the most challenging and rewarding combat system though, despite it being the most annoying of the three. I had to play it twice to fully appreciate it. Is it a rough diamond? Well it's certainly rough but falls short of being a diamond due to various irritations. Definitely warrants a 8/10 as does FC3, with FC4 at the summit at 8.5/10.
