@ Miek, how ironic then that consoles have aim assist to account for the crudeness of the game controller.

"As engrossing, fulfilling and varied a sandbox..." It's NOT a sandbox, it's called an "open world" game. Why doesn't anyone in the IT industry, especially even game reviewers, understand this?

An "open world" game, like Far Cry 3, is designed to place as few restrictions as possible on the options for gameplay and adventure.
