Re: Just Cause 3 (PC/PS4/XB1)

Is there a way to get a rebel to drive you around? I'd love to drive around blowing **** up with a mounted gun but can't get one in the car to drive me

Picked this up since I finished the main story of Fallout 4.

While it was downloading last night, I played around on Boom Island. Can tell this is just gonna be a "turn the brain off" affair. This realization came after I drove my car off a cliff, jumped onto the roof, and landed perfectly while still standing on the roof. OK then, just point me to where I start blowing things up.

Post patch...load times seem quicker for sure

I'm starting to see the frame rate drops though...not a huge deal but a little annoyinf

It's pretty cool that Manu Ginobli is your old friend. How many time's are they gonna make the "It's me, Mario!" joke?

This is definitely a game to throw on a Spotify playlist for.

Thanks for reminding me about Spotify on PlayStation. I tested it out this morning with Mad Max and it works really well.

So, PS4 owners, how long does it take on average to load the game from the main menu all the way to play it? And how long does it take to load it after you die?

The wife wants to get a game for me this Holiday.
I'm tossing back and forth between a sports game (NHL16 or PES16) or an adventure-type game.

I don't want a game that's too indepth or will take hundreds of hours to complete.
I'm looking for a simple, fun game to kill some time with.

Would you guys recommend JC3 for someone looking for a game of this type?

Money - this is the perfect game for you than. While the story line is there, the game allows you to do you whenever you want - without penalty.

Re: Just Cause 3 (PC/PS4/XB1)

I've seen a lot of negative views of this game, but I'm just wondering how. Once you get them down, the controls and what you can do are so amazing. I cleared out half a huge military base from the air by parachuting around and slingshotting off of the various surfaces. I get that it isn't much of a challenge since you can take massive damage without dying, but does every game have to be a realistic gunfight? This game isn't that. It's a game where you can do what you want and go up against your friends' scores in various challenges and things that happen naturally during your reign of chaos.

This is also easily the best use of vertical space I've ever seen in a game. Whether I'm free-falling, parachuting, wing-gliding, flying a plane, or flying a helicopter, I feel like I'm in the most control everywhere out of any open world game I've played. Once you get used to using your vertical space, the sky's the limit (no pun intended). And don't get me started on the fun ways to use tethers once you figure out what's going on there...

Is this the best-formed open world in regards to NPCs? Nope. Is this the best story? Nope, but it moves you around the open world in a logical way while providing some laughs. Is this the game of the year? Nope. Is this game a ton of fun? HELL YES! Some will say it's not worth full price, and that's fine, but I know I'll be putting in enough hours. But anyone who enjoys fun factor in their games should pick this up at some point.

My only gripe about this is that there isn't a co-op option. If there was ever a game for you to team up with your friend(s), this would be it.

I think the best way I can describe the randomness of this game is: I came up on a small outpost without any rocket launcher ammo or grenades on me. There was a sphere tank, so I walked behind the guy at the gate before I had heat, placed an explosive mine on him, attached a tether to him and the sphere tank, zipped him up there, and set off the explosive. This, in turn, destroyed everything else in the outpost in a chain reaction of over 10 explosions. Welp, that was easy

Hands down the most fun I've had playing a game this year. It's not the best game I've played the year, that honor goes to The Witcher 3. But JC3 is just plain fun. A great stress reliever. And the map is HUGE. I can't imagine anyone not liking this game. To me that's saying you don't like fun.

Some people get really creative with this game:

I've been sneaking in some game time while the kids are playing with their toys. I keep coming back to this one...

I just took the lead on the Online Leaderboards for driving over 180km/hr for the long time...with 3:15, previous leader was at 2:16 with 3rd best around 0:45!

Makes an old man feel good haha

Re: Just Cause 3 (PC/PS4/XB1)

I'm not sure how the leaderboards work, surely I'm not top x in the world, feels like I'm tossed into a smaller group of people to complete against. Either way I don't care, it works and I've tended to go for besting my personal best when the notification pops up.
