how far are you in the 2015 GOTY?
are you going for 100% completion?
also, JC3 thread
>>319662128
damn that fucking webm
I might just buy this game to hold me off until crackdown 3
>GOTY 2015
It's basically Just Cause 2 with a wingsuit. JC2 was amazing when it released but now it's just stale and boring.
>>319662128
How can you guys enjoy this garbage game? Damage on vehicles isn't even dynamic. It's literally a trash sandbox
>>319664245
>they didn't make any unnecessary changes for the sake of change
>they improved on what was in JC2 with a god-tier wingsuit and new map to explore
it feels good to win every now and then, /v/
it's fun but it isn't GOTY
it's good to fuck around with from time to time
i'm probably going to get more time out of guilty gear and DMC4SE
>>319664587
see, that would be great if jc2 was a good game.
>>319664796
>not getting pure satisfaction from every huge explosion
>>319664796
bait
>>319664587
Are you in every fucking JC3 thread?
>no dodge
>no running
>can't throw explosives
>map is still empty and boring as fuck
>unoptimized mess
>>319665397
this is my first just cause 3 thread in a while
glad to hear that others share the same opinion though
>no dodge
why the fuck would you ever want to do this in jc? are you going to ask for cover as well?
>no running
this does suck, but it isn't as nearly as bad as it could be since the grapple is much easier to use
>can't throw explosives
agreed, its dumb
>map is still empty and boring as fuck
I don't have a problem with it, would like more landmarks though
I'm not saying the game is perfect since no game is but it's still a superb sandbox game
>unoptimized mess
Haven't gotten it yet.
How is the map. It's not THAT bad right?
>>319665852
its less fun than JC2, but it isn't bad by any means
Have they patched the performance issues yet?
I wish I had the longer lasting ones

>>319662128
So clearly this thread is mostly shills..
But if I've absolutely never played a JC game, will this be fun? It is basically JC2 sith a wingsuit, right?
>>319662128
I'm not that far in 2015 GOTY yet. I'm still in Kiryu's chapters since I'm trying to do all of the shit you can do
>are you going for 100% completion?
Maybe. Depends on the bullshit casino minigames and pachinko shit
Looks like more of JC2 and I got bored of JC2 after a while so I'd get bored of 3 instantly desu senpai.
>>319667364
>But if I've absolutely never played a JC game, will this be fun? It is basically JC2 sith a wingsuit, right?
basically but if you've never played a JC game before, that shouldn't matter
>going for 100%
It's not fun, just tedious.

>>319667421
should i get into the yakuza series
i've always been curious
>>319667534
The general consensus is that JC2 was pretty great and JC3 is too little too soon. I understand franchise saturation and hate when a game is released while I'm still burned out from it's predecessor. Since I'm not fried from JC2, that's probably why this game would be fun for me.
>>319667790
>too little too soon
It's been 5 years.
>>319667612
>spamming parachute toggle instead of just using the wingsuit
You what
>>319666771
nope, but they've stated they're working on it.
Still waiting for the free version.
>>319667763
It's a kinda goofy series of games and not at all like GTA (which they are always compared to), but gosh darn do I love them. They have so much going on in them and fun as fuck battle systems.
Start with Yakuza 3 or Yakuza 4. In both of their main menus, there are Reminisce options, where the game will give you a TL;DR on all of the previous games plot and characters. I recommend Yakuza 3 because you play as the main character Kiryu all the way through, whereas Yakuza 4 starts out with Akiyama, then Saijima, then Taniguchi and finally Kiryu (who is a fucking OP badass). It's neat to know why he is such a friggin boss.
That being said, Akiyama is the fucking best.
>>319667897
Faster way to change direction.
Is it just me or is the main island not "filled" as the other 2?
I just finished the main story and liberated everything yesterday, and it feels like I had less fun liberating the main island compared to the first two. The first map was the first thing I experienced, so it's no surprise I enjoyed it, the second island added some EXTREME hills and caves to vary things up, and it succeeded, but I feel like they dropped the ball hard on the big island.
>>319668121
Thanks, anon.
I'm assuming 1 and 2 don't hold up quite as much anymore.
>>319667421
You know, I really like how Yakuza characters look.
They look like real people. Not graphically, but design wise. Other than Kiryuu, who has the perfect video game face, They look like they can be based of some random nip actor. They have just enough "imperfections".
>>319668173
wait for Yakuza Kiwami. It has just been announced for Playstation 4 and is a complete overhaul of Yakuza 1.
We will get Yakuza 0 which is a prequel to the series, if you play them like
>Yakuza 3 and or Yakuza 4
>Yakuza 5
>Yakuza 6 (hopefully)
>Yakuza 0
>Yakuza Kiwami
it really shouldn't be a problem. I started with Yakuza 3 and the game perfectly explained what I had missed in terms of story.
>>319668321
a bunch of them are real actors, actually
>GTX 760
>Every explosion makes my fps go from 60 to 25
Great.
>>319667871
Just going by what people are saying. I haven't even payed attention to the JC games until now. I know nothing about them.
Why is this game getting such a bad rep then?
>>319669113
Because they are playing on consoles or toasters and every game that isn't the second coming of christ is total garbage.
>>319669113
Because you can't pirate it and it has performance problems
>>319668614
770 here, we're both above min requirements. Hoping patch fixes issues like this. A big explosion will typically just freeze my screen for 3 seconds before picking back up at 60fps, shits retarded.
>>319669113
'Cause we're on /v/. It's fun, it improves on 2 in every single way. The big issue is the performance, if that doesn't get improved in a big way it will be a really big stain on a fun game. And the people who say it's boring or empty? In my opinion they just aren't trying to find the fun.
>>319664245
>JC2 was amazing when it released but now it's just stale and boring.
It was just as stale and boring when it was released.
>>319669421
This what I was thinking and it's reassuring to see the same opinion.
Thanks, anon.
I'm having a ton of fun with it, my only complaint is just that jets make the whole game so trivial. I've been carpet bombing the hell out of the main island and i can usually just liberate the small outposts with one pass and larger bases with a few more. I really wish they had fighter jets come after you if you were also in a jet instead of just helicopters and tanks.
>>319662128
>GOTY 2015
Basically Just Cause 2 with less fun and less things to do. Also runs like shit
How would this game run on a 560ti card with 8 gigs ram and i5-2500k processor?
I've never had an issue running any other game, though obviously I can't max every game out there. And I don't buy a whole lot of brand new games.
>>319669113
because most of the JC2 owners bought it for $2 on steam and now they're mad that they have to pay full price for a game
>>319669829
Especially since JC3 doesn't feel like a full price game.
>>319669884
feels like a $60 game to me, anon, just like JC2
don't worry though, in a few years it'll be cheap enough so you'll be able to buy it
>>319669113
I think because there's a group of people who need quests and NPCs in sandbox games, and don't understand the concept behind being given a fuckhuge sandbox, a bunch of toys, and told to play around.
The people who dislike Just Cause 3 are the people who disliked Just Cause 2. And they were never the target audience. They're butthurt that the core gameplay didn't change to meet their ADD needs, and that the game still caters to people with imagination who like to fuck around with fun mechanics.
>>319669963
>few years
>picking this up from the bargain bin later this winter
>>319669884
It feels like the $30 that any sane person bought it for
>>319669809
Probably well. It runs on a 750 ti and i3 at 30.
>>319665852
nicely divided up, smaller eastern islands are easy, chain of islands in southwest is a bit tougher, things get pretty difficult on the enormous main island
as you advance different types of bases and shit to explode starts becoming more common
>>319669796
>more tools
>bigger objects to blow up
>longer lasting and cascading explosions
how less fun plz explain?
>>319669654
do you even understand what fun is?
>>319669809
wait for patch
>>319662128
want to get it but the user reviews say that it runs like shit
>>319670010
Spot on. Some people need a quest line for sorts to play a game and some people just need a sandbox
This game will be praised a few months from now once all the withcher fans get tired of talking about it
>>319670403
It either runs fine or it's a stuttery mess, and build quality doesn't seem to make a consistent difference.
>>319670216
>more tools
There are the same exept you can't ride cars anymore like in JC2, you just stand on the roof like a moron
>bigger objects to blow up
Apart from the huge mining "saws", everything is the same. Man there is only 100 locations to blow up when there was 300 in JC2
>longer lasting and cascading explosions
That's the only point I agree with.
>>319670285
Some people have a huge backlog of games, and look at games as a checklist. A shocking amount of people on here don't play games for fun, but just play them because of some strange self-imposed obligation to play what they own or what is out, and beat it and move on. These kinds of people, among others, are some of the people who hate games like Just Cause, because there's no REAL goal or objective, and that doesn't jive with their playstyle of "finish and move on".
Another group of people who dislike the game are people who think the only things you should be doing in a game are things the developer purposely put there for you to do, so no self made challenges or anything like that. To those people, that's "artificial fun" because you're making it yourself, and it didn't actually come with the game or some shit. The game therefore lacks content, because all the fun and interesting shit you can do with your tools and vehicles and weapons doesn't count as actual content, because you're not given any kind of mission in which you need to do such things. Shit, in JC2 I could play for hours, just trying to fly under bridges at top speed, and see how many REALLY low ones I could do before dying. Those people would never do that because there's no mission or race that tells them to.
>>319669745
You don't even need to get that creative. My memorable moment from yesterday was just, in the middle of blowing up a big base, I happened to have the opportunity to tie a guy to a truck and then drive the truck off a ramp with him still attached. I popped my chute and watched him fall 300 feet while shooting rockets at a fuckhuge satellite dish and dodging bullets
>>319664040
>that awful fps
How can console plebs even play this shit
>>319667612
What is this image about
>>319670971
You're not actually having fun though, your brain is just making you think you are.
>>319671013
That's a webm of a gif
>>319662128
that looks fun as fuck.
>>319670771
Just being able to draw objects together with your grapple is a new tool that adds shit tons of options for destruction.
Have you looked at your gear mods? There are lots of cool new tools, and modifications on the ways the old ones work that allow for creativity beyond JC2.
I guess we just disagree about the objects, I'm only a few hours in and it feels like there are far more large, hard to destroy type objects, the giant satellite dishes, the big radar towers
>>319670403
>>319662128
The game suffers from a huge memory leak. I'm about 4 hours in but holding off now until they fix the frame drops and fluctuating fps.
Mario is top tier
>>319670929
You might be backwards, developers forcing you to do something is artificial fun. Have you ever tried playing a board game without house rules?
>Select all images with trains.
>>319671060
Hey, you could say the same about sex.
>>319671393
I finished the stoyr while ignoring the mods and challenges. I then started paying attention to them and I'm surprised on how much extra gameplay the modifications bring
and the challenges are actually fun
>>319671520
I'm not saying anything as a fact, just so you know, just trying to explain how these people think.
>>319671684
How the fuck do I destroy a base using just a fucking truck? Also, how do I use the gun turret in the APC?
>>319671393
Yes I looked at the mods. I 100% the game. I don't like much this gear mods thing, I mean you can't even aim ou brake with your wingsuit at the beginning of the game. I have to unlock the aiming option, seriously.
Lots of the mods are just upgrades like instant explosions, homing, more munitions or boost for vehicule. The only mods that I found cool was the one that transform GE-84 in rockets, that one is pretty neat.
>>319672324
the explosion mod that added rockets to is top-tier though
>>319672019
To use the turret from the vehicles you have the long press the button to get in. That's written when you get near the car tho and even said in missions...
>>319672553
>long press the button
hold it down? Okay. Yeah I must have missed that.
>>319667612
Something about this picture is really unpleasant.
>>319672670
Yep, if you just jump on the car's roff next to the turret, it will be written near it
>>319672670
dont worry, I spent a good 5 minutes trying to get into a turret yesterday. I guess that's what I get for ignoring tips
>>319664040
>not showing the landing
fuck off
Are the missions fun in this, unlike JC2?
>>319674264
Reasonably, the characters are much better
>>319662128
Everything else I've seen of this game make it look like a rehash but damn that webm is amazing
>>319674352
Next thing you're going to tell me the voice acting isn't shit, too.
>>319674671
he's right though. the characters are actually interesting and have personalities. the cutscenes were fun to watch
and the voice acting is normal video game level. its' not shit and its not great
>>319674671
The voice acting isappropriate
