Just Cause 3

Gentlemen, there comes a game that every so often sets a new benchmark for the industry. A game so significant, that it will be copied for years to come. I can say with absolute hyperbole,ultra-hype, little evidence and even less sense that Just Cause 3 shall be such a game.

 

Here’s the official synopsis of the game, via Game Informer:

just cause

It’s been more than four long years since Swedish developer Avalanche Studios released the outrageous open-world game Just Cause 2. Players gravitated to gunfights atop moving vehicles, the versatile parachute, and the innovative tether that could link nearly any two objects, humans, or a combination of the two. The 400-square-mile world provided the ideal backdrop for players to go nuts, with many players hitting the 100-hour mark to earn 100-percent completion or to simply goof around with the wild physics. The mod and YouTube community kept interest in the game alive for years after launch and eventually pushed sales to more than six million units.

In 2015, the beloved series returns with Just Cause 3 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. We got the chance to be the first people outside of the studio to play not just 10 or 20 minutes, but several hours of the game. The time flew by as we tried out the vastly improved parachute and grapple mechanics, terrorized the latest dictator’s well-defended bases, and soared through the sky with the all-new wingsuit. Just Cause has never played this smoothly, and as you’ll see in the cover story launching digitally today, it’s never looked this good.

Are these…tears rolling down my face? Yes, yes it is. I won’t deny that Just Cause 2 had quite a few design issues, but these were largely glossed over by some excellent gameplay and the aforementioned combo of parachuting and grappling around stages. Just Cause 2 was delirious, stupid fun. I’m hoping that the second sequel takes those ideas, and runs wild with it.

    SOLD! I always wondered how Capcom couldn’t make a decent Bionic Commando game when we have Just Cause.

      Don’t mention Bionic Commando, it will always be too soon.
      I never liked the insane enemy spawns in the original Just Cause so the sequel is still in my backlog 🙁

        That is a sin against fun… you must correct it, and play JC 2.

      JC2 was awesome and the map was bigger than GTAV. I can’t recommend it enough. Planes,cars and guns are all accessible through your PDA. You get a carnage bonus for blowing buildings,vehicles and enemies away. Also blowing up all buildings in every single base (and there are tons) using C4,rocket launchers,helicopters or miniguns is an extremely fun little side mission.

          The grappling hook is what clinches it. Falling to your death? Up yours physics I’ll just grapple the ground before I hit it.

          Another thing I did was hang about an airport and tether Boeings to the ground as they are about to take off. My own personal 9/11 😀

          I mean Wolfenstein,Infamous and Shadow of Mordor is my top 3 for this year. FC4 should be pretty good but I can’t think of anything else off hand.

            Haven’t played Wolfenstein nor Infamous, but Shadow of Mordor was quite good. Next on my list is Civ Beyond Earth.

    Ill most probably be labelled the most uncool person of 2014, but I found Just Cause to be a seriously boring game. I really tried to get into but nah just couldnt. Just Cause 2 was worse. So not looking forward to this one, but to everyone who loves this game….. Enjoy it when it comes out!

        Cant agree even more with you on that. The controls was beyond bad. I refer to myself as a good gamer. Not expert level, but have been playing games for years now, but damn… the controls of JC2 was so bad I couldn’t get past the first 20mins in the game. It was weird how bad the controls were.
