I think part of my perspective on 3 is mired by having played it at launch when the shooting was just a tiny bit off and sticky, I know it had to be because it was addressed and resolved in a patch but it contributed to my overall opinion of 3 being inferior to 2.

Aside from that, the story in 2 is better if simply because it's, well, simpler. The goals and motivations of all the players was apparent, the stakes were clear, it was all around a very clean experience. Now I do feel the villains in 3 were better I also feel they didn't come close to their potential largely because the plot their plot didn't make a lick of sense which undermined their character. Not to mention I never really understood the dynamic between Marlowe and Talbot, in part due to them disappearing for large tracts of the game and even when they are there together they have almost no chemistry.
