Far Cry 3

With Farcry3 they have made a great in game editor for people to get creative on just like the elderscrolls and minecraft etc... I have a link below here that tells you all about it and what you can do, i suggest you give it a read and give the game a buy. It is repetitive after a while but the environment is just beautiful and it really is a paradise you are stuck on. Again this in game editor can be compared to Transmedia through learning and scenography, i know i keep saying this but i keep finding games that i can talk about because they do this! FarCry like assassins creed also has a short animation that happens when you reach the top of the radio tower, this allows you to quickly view around the island and see a beautiful quick cinematic of what the environment has to over and the places you can explore. Ubisoft has put some great detail into the little things and the textures are fantastic, however sometimes you can tell that things have been duplicated and they have got lazy in places as it's such a big game map. For some reason this is more noticeable in FarCry 3 than it is compared to Skyrim. The only reason i can think why is because Skyrim's prettier? And this distracts you with majestic mountain ranges.

Here's some screenshots i grabbed from the net showing how the island is set out and the realism of the game.
