Picked up Just Cause 3 during PSN's Black Friday sale and I am glad I waited. For frame of reference, Just Cause 2 was one of my favorite games last gen. The current iteration is just a big ole' disappointment. Assets are copy and pasted to the point where whole bases and entire towns are duplicated. Too many missions are either escort or defend. Enemy a.i. is as dumb as ever and will shoot down their own helicopters to get Rico. Alert status goes from one star to five in seconds, and reinforcements appear instantly. The challenge missions needed to unlock gear are the most derivative and boring I've yet seen. The final boss battle is lame and [spoiler]consists of shooting at a helicopter with rockets at set intervals.[/spoiler]The constant stuttering doesn't help. How did this game go so wrong?

My dad used to love those games, probably still does. It always seemed like copied assets to me, down to every single little thing. It was always just mindless action and explosions/grappling hooks. Never really vibed with me, the series as a whole.

Nobody caaaaarrrrreeeesssss

Of course it's bad the 2nd one was only good because you could attach shit to shit. So in fan service they made it so you could attach shit to more shit in the third one, it only exists to mess around and have fun, I'm just waiting for JC3 multiplayer

I didn't care much for JC2, JC3 though is just mindless fun.
-
How much?
-
So you dislike JC3 for those reason, yet JC2 has all of that stuff?

That's funny I'm playing JC2 right now. Trying to do one of the aerial checkpoint challenges I still don't have a current system so I haven't tried 3 yet but it looked super cool from what I had seen. That's a shame it isn't that good though, the second is magnificent. I guess I'll have to wait for a new Red Faction to get my destruction on properly.

Edited by Lil Cobravert: 12/6/2016 6:44:20 PMI loved Just Cause 3 because it was a fun game. The game had the best chaos engine. Explosions left and right, chain reactions from blowing up a car to igniting a fuel depot. Plus, I could follow the story and remember the characters. Now I get what you're saying, but I looked at the game for what it is... fun.

Weird how you're annoyed with many of the annoyances in 3 but seem to forget that the 2nd has some of these as well. Granted the 2nd wasn't a technical nightmare, but many of the issues you speak of, are apparent in 2
