Only 15 years ago? Jeez, that game feels ancient by now. The kinda game us old nerds bring up whenever kids brag about FarCry 3 and up.
I hope I'm not the only one who loved the gun jam mechanics? Or the way a NPC friend could drag me out of combat if I died, and only give me a basic pistol? Gamers today are so inconvenienced from setbacks and accidents outside their controls. Losing equipment just doesn't happen anymore. And if it does, its called a survival game or survivor mode.
It got so much hate for the jam back in the day (and a lot of other stuff too) but I loved it. It's still by far my favorite Far Cry. The new ones are way too cartoony.
I played it a few years ago and distinctly remember not getting jams (maybe 2-3 the whole time) I was just conscious about ensuring my guns weren't in disrepair.
One of the best moments I had was with a gun breaking. I was mowing down enemies with my machine gun and that thing flying apart was just so comedic in its timing
