So this turned out to be better than the second one.
You all told me it would be awful
>>345317478
i havent played because i feel that it is indeed worse than the second one
>>345318992
It's Just Cause 2 but improved in everyway
It's better, but they can't make it perform properly on a phenom x4 and a 960, so..
I hate to say it but the dlc adds a lot of great stuff
>>345319535
True. The Jet pack and the Mech are good additions. I wonder what they are gonna do with the Sea DLC.
>>345317478
No, it's far inferior.
No rolling
No sprinting
No throwing of triggered explosives
Max amount of tr. explosives you can throw is like six
They've thrown in structure (destroy area, get some challenge mission)
Upgrades replaced by mods which mostly suck
No agency weapons or vehicles (tuk tuk boom pell silverbolt quad rocket launcher)
No great places like a gigantic city, vast desert, skull island, race track, big airport and much more
Lack of variety in things you can blow up
>>345319894
>No rolling
Fair play it is annoying
>No sprinting
Irrelevant now with the use of the wing suit/grapple
>No thrown triggered explosives
You get mods that can change the grenades. Long fuse, glass grenades, homing grenades etc
>Make tr explosions
Yeah but you never need more than 6 and now they can act as rocket boosters
>Structure
It's good that you have stuff to do after you've destroyed the base
>Mods
Yeah I hate the fact that you have to do challenges for the mods but its better than stuff being handed to you on a silver platter
>No agency vehicles or weapons
You can get weaponized vehicles and all the special weapons are essentially agency weapons
>No great places
Fair point but the actual bases are much better in comparison
>Lack of variety
You wot? There's much more variety
>>345319894
The rolling in 1 is irrelevant to gameplay.
The sprinting is such an awful pace, it is also irrelevant to gameplay except that the walking pace is so awful.
The game plays fine without tossed explos.
Isn't that amount more than 1?
>They've thrown in structure
Like.. made the game more structured? OK. It's honestly still just taking out bases.
Mods are fine except that they're unlocked with challenges. The gameplay is way better with all the options than 1, so there's no reason for complaints.
Etc.

JUST
>>345320864
I4m sayign in game like this structered CONTENT is BAD
>>345319620
I haven't played any of it yet, but if they make a bunch of underwater bases and like guarded research labs you can dive and get into to, I'm buying it.
>>345320935
>Map is smaller
But that's been proven wrong since day one
>Graphics are bad and costly
Wrong. One of the best looking open world games on the market
>DLC my shit up
3 content packs which add valuable stuff to the game is bad? It's not like they are asking for £30 for some new skins. One of the dlcs and drones, an airship and a fucking jetpack and another one adds a Mech with a fucking gravity gun and a new island. No idea what the 3rd DLC is.
>>345320957
So you're shitposting? Okay got it
>>345321148
Game looks pretty bad. Made by the b-team.
>>345321148

No doubt that we will find out Eden has underwater bases. It makes the most sense

>>345321212
How does the right look better than the left? The left has a further viewing distance and colours
>>345321212
JC3 has unquestionably better graphics, but it doesn't LOOK as good.
I am not going to buy a single game that has Denuvo.
It doesnt matter which game it is.
>>345321272
JC2 was like too and was even worse in that regard.
>>345321446
Runs like shit on PC anyway. They haven't fixed it.
>>345317478
Its fun enough but Medici is inferior to Panau in every way except caves.
>>345321591
At least JC2 had a lot of variety. It has the better map, by far.
>>345321634
I agree with that regards. I wish Medici had a large civilian airport at least.
>>345321212
left is clearer, more realistic and feels refreshing compared to the opressing brown and bloom on the right.
jc3 just feels better visually. beter
>>345319894
>No throwing of triggered explosives
It's a fucking snoozefest and shallow as fuck. Can't believe I bought that trash.
to me the lack of most basic mechanics like crouch, sprint and roll made the combat very lacking, you either just show yourself while shooting and hook away to somewhere far to replenish, no way to take cover since not even waist high stuff can help you.
The vehicle combat is cool, especially the boats, but the infantry combat is so fucking basic.
>>345317478
I liked it, but the same problems I had with Far Cry 4 I had with Just Cause 3, the gameplay was heavily improved but the story was significantly worse than its predecessor.
The story in Just Cause 3 felt like it was tacked on at the last second
>>345322338
>to me the lack of most basic mechanics like crouch, sprint and roll made the combat very lacking
It makes it fucking unplayable. Ive never played such a shallow shooter. what the fuck were they thinking?
>>345321625
All they care about is piracy to get better sales.They dont give a fuck about how it runs and peoples joy with it.
What they doesnt realize is by using Denuvo they fuck their sales worse than piracy would.
>>345317478
That's not saying much. I think I only played the second one for like an hour. Boring.
i dont understand why the map is tiny, it takes like 15 hours to clear all bases and villages, but at least theyre much more fleshed out than in 2.
also the performance is fucked
>>345322964
It's not tiny. It's bigger but you can travel faster
Buttmad pirates
>>345317478
It is indeed better, but the poorfags of /v/ shit on it since they pirate denuvo
Yeah no, if you think that 3>2 then your taste is irredeemable, factually provable shit. Building on what other smart anons have already said:
>no rolling or sprinting
>explosive charges can only be placed at arm's length, and placing each one takes a brief, irritating pause
>mod system is fucking irritating and requires you to constantly pause and unpause the game to toggle mods that you don't always want on, not to mention that it forces you to play all varieties of mission (including ones that suck) to unlock all content
>biggest city is less than the size of a single DISTRICT of Panau City
>easter eggs and special locations of interest, like JC2's giant radio dish, mr. snowman, dead whale, hot air balloon, etc., etc., are few and far between, and the few that do exist kind of suck (like the doge meme easter egg)
>infinite C4 and steroid grapple feel like lazy fanmade mods that utterly break the game while adding little fun

>optimization is among the worst I have ever seen in a game. Look at the game's steam reviews and you will see people with all kinds of high-end PCs complaining about inexplicable framerate drops
>Denuvo makes modding the game difficult and new DLC patches break many old mods; this comes after the developers promised expanded mod support for the game (a total lie)
>world has no real locations of interest like Mile High Club or the giant cliff in the desert that JC2 had. Everything in JC3 is small metropolitan cities or countryside villas

It's way too oversaturated.
It's better in terms of movement and characters. But world, most of meachanics, upgrades system and final mission are all much weaker than in the second game.
Okay
>>345324884
>Watch Dogs-tier driving
This. I stopped playing because the vehicle controls and handling was fucking shit.
>>345324130
They didn't patch a fucking thing, runs as bad as in release.

>gimmick wingsuit with which you are going to smash into the ground constantly since you need to jump from really high places to use it and fly a significant distance
That one's on you, wingsuit is extremely fun to use and very efficient in getting anywhere, but it takes effort to master it. If anything, wingsuit was the biggest improvement 3 had over 2.
>>345324884

I don't know what went wrong.
2 was incredible, it looks great and is somehow optimized well enough for me to install it on my smart fridge and have it work just fine.
Any computer can play 2.
My actual gaming computer, granted falling a bit behind in updates, can't hold a stable framerate playing 3 on low graphics.
>>345324884
>went out of their way to hire the worst VA's in existence
Jesus christ this.

I can't remember anything about Just Cause 1/2's story. The only thing I remember is the part at the very end of 1 where you're free falling with the villain and you strap a bomb to him.

kek this
There's no fucking motivation to keep playing the game after climbing the highest point of the map and destroying a base.
What's everyone's problem with using challenges for upgrades? Most of the challenges are pretty fun, and it's all the fun ones that the more necessary upgrades are behind
Just Cause is a shit series and 2 is among the most overrated games of all time.
>but anon! You can GO ANYWHERE and BLOW UP ANYTHING!
Oh sweet I can go to one out of five or so different locations which are each copy+pasted hundreds of times and blow up the same set of shit. I may attract some enemy attention, but that doesn't matter because they're all extremely easy to kill and getting away from them takes no time or effort. After that I guess I can go look for some 'hidden' collectibles which are all already marked on the map.
>>345325857
>>345326162
This.
People are just surprised the game wasn't absolute garbage when they paid $1 for it since it was constantly on sale.
Not to mention poorfags who were happy something relatively new ran at something higher than 10 FPS on their Voodoo 3s.
>>345321212
>console comparisons
are you stupid?
>>345317478
too many people who never played 2 jumped in and complained about things that were always in the series because they expected something completely different and jumped on a hype train without knowing where it was headed. and of course there's always shitposters trying to fit in too hard by bashing any new release with a decent sized following
>>345325857
Holy fuck. No wonder i enjoyed Mad Max more than Jc3. With how barren the main landmass is in jc3 i feel like the game got shafted in favor of Mad Max.
>>345326162
>>345326391
how to spot retards with no imagination what so ever.
>>345326010
It's literal grinding in a sandbox game. Also, having to replay the same mission just to get all the gears isn't that entertaining. Maybe it's just because the game is performing like a brick trying to slide on carpet though, yet there's no reason to suggest trying to do remedial shit to unlock the fun tools is neat.
>>345327071
>imagination
If the game isn't entetaining on it's own, its not a good game.
I'm not going to spend 300 hours destroying the same 4 bases over and over again.
>>345321212
Ew whats with that blur on the right? Looks like someone smeared grease over the camera.
>>345327071
I have ~40 hours on the 360 version. I can put up with so many mediocre games but I will not go to bat for Just Cause 2.
At least JC1 has somewhat of an excuse to be devoid of meaningful content. A studio 3-4 times the size should have been able to make a decent sequel.
Didn't bother with 3.
>>345327001
Yeah, Avalanche trusted the more experienced Stockholm studio with a movie tie-in, while they gave their old IP with brand recognition to their brand new New York studio that had never made a game before. No idea why they would do something so bizarrely stupid.
>>345327110
Unless you're consistently shit at a challenge, you shouldn't have to replay them to any great extent, since the gears requirement to unlocking all the upgrades is lower than the max amount of gears you can get (I think each challenge type lets you get all the upgrades with around 3-4 gears on each challenge, but I don't know the exact numbers)
>>345327193
yeah, not when all you do is gun people down and don't try to actually experiment.
>>345328080
Deep upgrades require a lot of gears, and the challenges are locked until the story.
>>345325857
Mad max was a good game, didn't deserve to be half as good as it is
I dumped like 60 hours on it, it's really fun and full of little details
>>345326010
Because I don't want to play the shitty campaign.
>>345328174
*which is just more grinding bases.
>>345324884
Just want to point out on the last point, only one of the JC3MP mods has been cancelled, there's another one by a company called Nanos which has the blessing of the devs to get around Denuvo or something
>>345328218
It was a generic modern sandbox with a Mad Max skin.
Literally the same game WB and Ubisoft makes over and over.
>>345328218
60 dollars? You're a madman. I bought it for 15 on release and literally played only 2 hours max(puns). Game got boring fast for me.
>>345328291
The cancelled one was the one made by the devs of the JC2 mod.
Who knows what the others will do.
>>345324029
You cant be nostalgic about some game from like 5 years ago lad.
>>345328426
I know, it's a damn shame as I really liked those guys, but here's hoping we get something at least. The vehicles in 3 should be pretty fun in MP, the plane you can drive inside of, the amphibious ATV, the ferry, the trains etc.
>>345325214
>I stopped playing because the vehicle controls and handling was fucking shit.
Have you even played JC1? I have the feeling nobody here did. The control were so shit.
>>345328342
60 hours, not dollars you dweenie
>>345328713
Nobody is defending JC1. JC2's handling was fine, you could actually move and turn at high speeds without eating shit if you were a decent driver
in JC3 you spin the fuck out if you exceed street-legal speed
>>345328324
Thing is youre right and I usually hate this kind of games
It's good because the side missions are pretty varied, customising the car was fun, and it felt good to slowly free the entire wasteland from the enemy influence
Unlocking the interceptor at the end of the game felt good af too, but I guess i wouldnt had enjoyed the gane at all if I wasn't a mad max fan
>>345317478
It was good, mindless fun, though I didn't like the forced pistol dual-wielding.
desu if not for the memory leak issue making you need 16gb of ram and the lack of unique locations (no desert, no civvie airport, no flying bar, no big race track, etc) it'd be a straight upgrade to the second game
>>345328973
Was there a big racetrack in 2? Legit curious, I played the game for over 100 hours and never found it
>>345328873
I'm not a Mad Max fan - not even seen Fury Road - still had a lot of fun playing the game, sunk nearly 40 hours into it. It's nothing special, but it's a tight, enjoyable experience with rather nice world building and interesting gimmicks.
>>345329081
Two, actually - one under the link road to the city and one on the North coast. The city one's a regular racetrack while the north coast one is an offroad spot.
>>345329415
What the fuck
Thanks, time to reinstall
>>345328873
I feel like WB forced them to integrate certain game play elements so that the game would have a broader appeal. The arkham combat for instance doesn't really make sense in a mad max world. Where are the enemies with guns, bows, and crossbows? Apparently the team sat down and watched all 3 films and even read the script to fury road. How the fuck do you do that and get the mindset that everyone but max has a ranged weapon.
>>345329159
>not even seen Fury Road
Anon, do yourself a favor and stop whatever you're doing and find a means to watch it. You're missing out mate.

>>345323237
This desu. Just Cause 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, and while I enjoyed 3, it doesn't come close to how much fun I had with JC2. Wingsuit is awesome though.
>>345329871
Yeah I can see what you mean, very few enemies use ranged weapons (arpoons and Boomsticks)
Managing water and gas was fun tho (even if I never actually had to refill my gas tank, I wish scavenging for gasoline was more important)
Also, the first part of the game it's way more tedious and linear than the second half, the first zone is drained ocean, so there aren't many interesting structures
Exploring the desert and the hidden underground structures was fun
>>345324884
>gimmick wingsuit with which you are going to smash into the ground constantly
Wingsuit is easily the most fun addition to the game, you need to get better.

>>345331971
Hitman is episodic trash that only has one good map.
Doom was nice, but really forgettable.
Never felt like replaying it, and I don't think I will in a very long time.
