Look, I think I’m a reasonable guy. Some of the missions seem bad until you discover the correct way to complete them.
Like in level 14, you have to infiltrate a boat, but for some reason the guys with bazookas know exactly where you are from a long distance, so picking them off with a sniper isn’t an option. It wasn’t until I realized you need to hang glide onto the boat while shooting at the bazookas (which is the coolest thing ever) that the level made itself clear.
However, level 13 is a tedious chore to get through. No open areas, just hallways and bunkers. Enemies that take an entire magazine to kill, and yet they only drop 10% armor each. And the final sequence doesn’t have any health packs so you have to sprint past some of the enemies and pray to Satan that the last bad guy doesn’t lunge and kill you. Even as good as the gunplay is, some of the enemy types are just a pain.
Far Cry is a choppy, uneven game, but I would never call it boring.
