Just Cause 3 is out tomorrow, and I’m not really allowed to tell you anything about Avalanche’s sequel until around witching hour tonight. However, I am allowed to show you things. Things like grappling to a helicopter so that I can steal it to blow up another helicopter. Or using a wingsuit to endlessly fly around Just Cause 3’s massive map. You know, normal run of the mill stuff.
So here’s 20 minutes of me doing absolutely nothing and everything in Just Cause 3 at the same time. There’s no story missions so there’s no need to worry about spoilers (in case you were?). There is a good look at town liberations at work, which factor into a decent amount of what you’ll be doing around the islands of Medici as you attempt wrestle control of the land from Dictator Di’Ravello. He’s not a nice guy.
There’s a few irksome things about Just Cause 3 that I’ll detail in my review, but there’s also a lot that is just incredibly satisfying to do. It’s also a massive game, and I feel like I haven’t even come close to searching every single nook and cranny that Medici has to offer. I have however found the highest mountain top I could and flown for minutes on end with my wingsuit. When I wanted to take a break from blowing stuff up of course.
Just Cause 3 is out tomorrow on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Never before has a single word had so much impact in a title as here.
“UP”

Thanks man.

seeing this series for the first time this looks like prototype, without the monsters?
Hammersteyn
November 30, 2015 at 10:58
Also no super powers. Just guns, vehicles, grappling hooks and a lot of gravity defying tricks and tons of explosions
Mark Treloar
November 30, 2015 at 11:00
He does have a super power. The power to not have his arms ripped off. Speaking of Super Powers, anybody seen the debut of Luke Cage?
Hammersteyn
November 30, 2015 at 11:11
Where? Is he getting a movie?

Jessica Jones on Netflix
Ir0nseraph
November 30, 2015 at 11:23
I am at episode 6 now , not a bad show but Daredevil was better, and Luke Cage is looking like a winner.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:24
Daredevil is the best!!
Okay, but I should probably check out Jessica Jones also 😉
Ir0nseraph
November 30, 2015 at 11:28
Daredevil was definitely the best , and season 2 I hope keeps it up.
But watch Jones not bad at all, kinda dark and I was losing interest abit but episode 6 has me reeled back in.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:29
Cannot wait for S2 of Daredevil. Little bit worried about them bringing in other characters and getting it wrong…just look what that did to Arrow.
Ir0nseraph
November 30, 2015 at 11:31
I think it could work actually, the Punisher I think is a good fit and I hope he gets his own show.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:32
Yes. Hell yes. And with this direction of decent violence we can expect a Punisher in the likes of the one from “War Zone”, which was imo way more true to what he’s all about.
I’m just a bit nervous about Elektra.
Ir0nseraph
November 30, 2015 at 11:35
War Zone was awesome, didn’t even know she is popping in too, yeah they need to be careful not to add too many too soon.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:37
Arrow started great because it was one dude doing the covert and strategic approach.
Not it’s turned into a circus group competing for the best acrobatic skills….not to mention it should be re-labeled as “the series where everyone dies….but doesn’t”
Ir0nseraph
November 30, 2015 at 11:39
XD.
True Flash is currently better, I have some hope for the new spin off, and it was a shame Constantine couldn’t last.
Strange how Marvel Goes light side on the movies and dark with the new TV show, and DC the other way around.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:40
I’m loving The Flash now. And Supergirl is also better than Arrow.
Constantine…was the best of the bunch. Really sad that ended.
Dude, you said exactly what I also always think about Marvel and DC movies vs series.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:42
Weird, I rate Arrow better than Flash (but Flash has picked up speed now, hehe) so they are almost on par at the moment now for me.
Supergirl…..not sold on it yet
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:43
Arrow lost it now that he has an entire entourage for me.
Seems more theatrical than actual action. The quality of filming has also gone down a bit.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:46
Aye, I really don’t like the whole “team arrow” charade. Probably why I’m not giving Arrow and Flash full marks, is because of the “YAY GO TEAM!” nonsense.
Arrow still has a good story, Flash as well, but Supergirl? Nopey nope. (granted, I’ve only watched 2 or 3 of them)
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:48
Arrow has a good story? No way. It’s soooo overused and bland as hell.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:50
Yes it has. I’ve seen MUCH worse. The whole flashback thing can get confusing for lesser minds
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:51
Lesser minds that find that confusing must be under 5 years old.
The Flash’s multiverse is a nice touch though. There are way too few series with time-traveling in.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:52
Well this is not time travel, but yeah, it adds a nice touch to it!
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:53
Not time travel?
So when he ran so fast in season 1 and traveled back in time it wasn’t time traveling?
MIND BLOWN
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:56
No man, we are talking about S2 here, S1 had the time travel things (which was awesome)
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:57
I wasn’t talking about S2. I was talking about the Flash overall. He’s so fast he does two seasons at the same time. Dun dun dunnnnnn.

November 30, 2015 at 11:59
Arrow has Felicity! Your argument, is invalid!

Aye. Not a bad point.

I thought you were just stuttering from excitement 😉
Arrow is all about showing off the actors’ and actresses’ bodies.
The Flash is more humble, they ain’t got nothing to prove.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 12:04
That new love interest of Barry is quite cute, barring the underwater breathing difficulty factor…

Alien Emperor Trevor
November 30, 2015 at 11:43
Supergirl is cool. I actually like all the superhero shows currently airing. Arrow’s a lot better this season than the previous one with having a bit more humour.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:45
I don’t know ey. I really loved Arrow but it’s just too much now. The story is completely null now that in the past five episodes three people came back to life. They’re just clutching at straws with little creativity in the storytelling left. It’s quite sad.
The Flash is nice an quirky and funny, so is Supergirl.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:46
Yeah, the whole resurrection makes it seem like the Bold and the Beautiful
Alien Emperor Trevor
November 30, 2015 at 11:48
They’re both building towards the Legends of Tomorrow series, that’s why all the characters are coming back to life. They’ll be gone soon enough.
Captain JJ never changes
November 30, 2015 at 11:49
I know, but that’s what takes away even more from it.
They could’ve planned a bit better. Now they’re ruining one series with terrible storytelling because they suddenly need to bring people back to life.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 11:51
It might be a new line of series….FPS MP, the series, where the heroes keep respawning
Ir0nseraph
November 30, 2015 at 11:51
Close to the mid season finale, so they should all be gone like Alien said, and I hope then Arrow will get back on track, and if they don’t have such a huge cast the production value can get back to it’s original quality.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!

Dammit, forgot about that stupid AW….Gonna level tonight!
(Got the Latron! Now THAT is a gun I like)
Alien Emperor Trevor
November 30, 2015 at 12:07
I leveled that to 30 this weekend too. I got the Latron Wraith soon after starting the game, that was my main primary for ages. Plus I got the prime before it got vaulted, but it’s coming back for a month very very soon.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
November 30, 2015 at 12:08
I need to get more Prime things

Those aren’t too difficult to get. I had 20 or so the other day after we did some void farming. I’ve got an egg sitting there waiting to be incubated.

I’m not sure what it’s all about. I know there’s a trailer for it, but I’ve avoided watching.
