They need to make it like Farcry 2. I remember due to the epic 1st person-ness I was once COMPLETELY immersed. Like for real, I literally thought i was there, most immersed Ive ever been. (Excluding Morrowind ;D)
I know how ya feel.
The healing animations where you would say, pull shrapnel from a part of your body, and the way the camera would shake. It felt really immersive. I hope Far Cry 3 does the same.
