What actually went wrong with this game?
I mean the capital city has 5 streets big compared to the GTA sized city of 2 and there were no interesting landmarks such as the mile high club.
How did he game come to be such a bug disappointment.
I couldn't fucking play it is what went wrong. I picked it up during the Square Enix steam sale and I could not for the life of me get it to run. I tried every fix I could find online but apparently the game is fucking unplayable on gtx 970 cards, I'm not even the only one who had this problem.
I had to refund it. Shame too I spent hundreds of hours in 2 it's in my top 10 favourite games.

I didn't have that issue on ps4. But the game was nowhere near as smooth as just cause 2
>final boss is a helicopter
Seriously though the gameplay peaks about a third of the way in with the introduction of Bavarium vehicles, and then its just more of the same couple of missions over and over until the story just eventually kinda stops. The environment was better, but there were next to no setpieces compared to 2, which gives you a different thing almost every mission.
>just cause 2 well known for being one of the most well optimized games of all time
>just cause 3 was a clusterfuck optimization job

gta5 is actually interesting and well designed. JC is a bunch of crap thrown on a map
>>331797448
JC is all about just make you map as big as you can.
>>331794467
idk but wingsuit flying is comfy as fuck.
>>331794785
I played it with frame drops into the 40s on my 970/4790k. You may have just had a shit cpu/didn't meet ram requirements/OS?
I'm actually mad that they tried to pass this off as the capital

The people who made Just Cause 2 worked on Mad Max instead.
JC3 was literally the B-Team.
>>331799343
Makes sense, Mad Max was great.
>>331794467
they said fuck performance and the customers, lets cram three layers of drm into it. everytime there's a new patch it sounds like something else breaks based off how mad people get about the announcement.
>>331794467
I'd tell you if i could play it.
>Chaos has no function
>No side factions missions
>All upgrades must be done via racing and diverse boring side missions.
>3 Huge bases
Not even modding can save this game
>>331800198
>implying you can mod it, with denuvo drm
>>331794467
Even the PS4 version is a sideshow when there's more than 3 enemies/explosions on screen, which is quite annoying considering making things go boom is the entire fucking purpose of the game.
Also, everything looks even more the same than JC2. I swear I've blown up the same exact base twice.
Other than that it's pretty fun. Less cringey voice actors is probably the biggest improvement.
>>331794467
While playing I felt it was terribly empty compared to JC2. The main island has virtually nothing in it's top two thirds and the there are ZERO bases or towns in the mountains. Then Square-Enix announces the "Land, Air and Sea Season Pass" It's clear now that they cut content from the main game so it could be sold at a premium as DLC and it will be a long long time before I buy another Square-Enix game.

The best things in this game are:
>explosions
>wingsuit
>motherfucking waterplanes in tropical setting (comfy as fuck, always felt like vacation)
>those huge excavators you can destroy
>rocket upgrade for your explosives
>the ropes
The worst things are:
>the random encounters were completly pointless
>no big city
>things respawned way too fast
>the story was weak
>everthing he said >>331800198
>>331797341
>meanwhile madmax is one of the most well optimized games of recent year releases
too bad the "A team" had to work on it because they though there would be hype because of the movie.. JC3 was made by some leftover avalanche devs and it shows
I wouldn't know. It won't play on my computer. I shouldn't have gotten an AMD card.
so, is madmax worth it? how many hours did you get out of it?
>>331800582
Actually no, there's more...
They took out the minimap which makes it easy to become disoriented but left space for a huge speedometer like it matters at all how fast you're going, it's not like you can get a ticket.
there's no health meter which makes it impossible to tell when you need to pull back from a fight.
Aircraft are practically useless because every base now has SAM sites and you get shot down almost immediately.
There's no dodge function anymore.
The Day/Night cycle is wonky as fuck it's like high noon 90% of the time then becomes night for like 5 minutes.
There isn't as much reason to explore without upgrade pickups or hidden gas pipelines etc.
I enjoyed it but I won't go back to it in the future when I could play JC2 instead and again I won't rush out for any o their future products because fuck the trust is just broken.
>>331799235
this made me really sad.
i was expecting some huge ass city.
instead i got some small ass city
Not only is vanilla JC2 better, but JC2MP is one of the coolest accomplishments in the history of video games. It had no chance.
JC2MP+VR support is going to kick ass.
locking all of the upgrade points behind shitty, tedious challenges killed the game for me. I can't believe they thought that was a good idea and didn't put any other workarounds in there.
>>331797341
Dude the game crashes if you turn on decals and the nagative mouse acceleration is crazy
Also borderless windowed isn't natively Integrated
It ran fine on a gtx 760 at 1080p 60fps, but for a game from 2010 that's a given
>>331801573
The skyrim of GTA clones
>>331801147
Around 30 - 40 hours to finish the main story and upgrade my car with the strongest engine. There was more stuff to do but once I had the engine the repetitiveness kicked in. Will play it again someday, though, since I enjoyed it quite a bit.
>>331794467
>What actually went wrong with this game?
the game ran like shit because of Denuvo
the lack of new content
nothing is really new or exciting, its basically Just Cause 2.5 except with ass loads of DRM
>>331801147
you can easily get 30 hours of it before you get sick of it. if you absolutely love collecathon busywork though its a 70+ hour game minimum.
>>331801147
I've got about 90 hours into it and it was a blast the entire time
