I can see how it can be difficult at first, but once you get more ammo bags, better guns, and more health the game becomes pretty easy.

The game doesn't really require stealth.
When I played it I just ran and gunned it.
If you get surrounded you could die pretty easily, but it isn't hard to avoid.
Far Cry 3 kept me entertained for a while, but it got very repetitive and dull.
Sure, it has a nice big open island, but all you can really do with that is conquer towers, camps, and hunt animals, all of which is doing the same thing over and over again. Like Vaas puts it, it's insanity.
I didn't even care much about finishing the game once Vaas died. He was the only thing I looked forward to about the game and his death was so anti-climatic.
The game also becomes very dull once you go to the second island. All you can do in the second island is the exact same things you did in the first.
So it really looses all of that "open world exploration" charm.
At the second island I just wanted it to end.
Not to mention the QTE "boss fights".
You didn't do anything but press a button and watched the cut scene that accompanied it.
I liked/enjoyed the cut scenes and all, but not getting proper boss fights was pretty disappointing.
Do not even get me started on how much I hated Jason and his friends.
Maybe they made them unlikable on purpose, but I hated having to rescue such generic and dull characters.
Jason's older brother would of been a better protagonist. Hell, even his younger brother would of been better.
Every time Jason talked I wanted to punch my monitor. I am not an angry gamer by nature, but he brought out some rage in me with every word he said.
I was not a fan of the endings either.
I remember reading that the ending got leaked so they had to change it. I don't know how true this is, but the endings they stuck with were not that great or memorable for that matter.
I'd give Far Cry 3 a 6/10, 7/10 at most.
I'm not saying it was bad. I'm saying it has wasted potential and it isn't a very memorable game.
I usually HATE stealth based games, but loved Dishonored. Actually on my first playthrough I was dumb and killed nearly everyone. Died a ton of times. Well duh. On the 2nd playthrough I finished without killing anyone. Couldn't go undetected though.
I started Far Cry 3. I think i'm rushing though things and don't know what i'm doing. I only have 1 gun and died about a dozen times. Everyone gangs up on me and calls for backup. Oh well. My only accomplishment was getting a whole 1 radio tower found. I always run out of bullets too. In one area I think I died within 10 seconds. Obviously need to build up my character a little. Maybe it's like Fallout 3 where you're fairly weak at first and then it gets easier and easier.
Another game that did stealth well was Uncharted 2. I must have played through that about 6 times.
