Just Cause 3 is out – and according to those who revel in wanton destruction of physically-based, virtual worlds, it’s a riot. It has been let down a little but a few technical issues though. It’s not been everyone’s experience mind you, but many players have had issues with bugs, glitches, unbearable load times and frame rate issues.
For those people, it’s been enough to hamper an experience that’s really built all around being fun, and not taking itself particularly seriously. Developer Avalanche has said it is working double time to fix these issues. They want to make the game “as awesome as possible”
“We know that some of you are encountering some technical issues – we’re looking into them all and we’re fully committed to providing you the best possible experience,” said Square-Enix Global Communications Manager Petra Opelova on Steam.
Unfortunately, there’s no word on when that patch might be coming. The game’s in need of proper SLI support (like most PC games these days, it seems), and crashes to desktop for many other PC players.
“We know you’re going to want specific information on when a patch will land and what will be fixed – we would love to give you that information, and we will as soon as we have it. But right now, a little over one day since we launched, we have huge numbers of players in our enormous game world and we’re monitoring all the data coming in.”
“We need a little bit of time to recreate some of these issues and build fixes. Rest assured though – we are fully committed to making Just Cause 3 as awesome as possible. We already know loads of people are having a blast with the game but we’ll do all we can to make sure everyone is laughing and smiling as they play.”
The PC version’s also been lambasted for its use of Denuvo’s anti-tamper technology (which many keep insisting isn’t DRM, though frankly, that’s just nomenclature). That’s the publisher’s wont of course – but Denuvo makes it pretty hard for the game to me modded. If you’ll recall, Just Cause 2 on PC was a modder’s paradise, with some industrious tinkerers even adding in a multiplayer mode.

10/10 wont bang…
Will get the GOTY edition, this has Batman’s lack of optimization feeling all over it.

I got my JC2 with a lot of dee-ell-see for $7.50 back when the rand/dollar was still awesome, so basically paid less than R100 for it, and lemme tell you, buckets of fun.
I see no reason why I have to pay full price
WitWolfy
December 3, 2015 at 08:10
Like wise I bought it on PS3 back in December 2011. Paid like R170 or something with all its DLC.. havent played it yet though.. Will get around to it as soon as I get tired of Forza 6.

December 3, 2015 at 08:10
I think buckets of fun would be a reason to pay full price. 😉
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:12
Will wait until it is fully patched etc. Besides, I’m already having buckets of fun!
miaau
December 3, 2015 at 08:19
yes, but no. I think the buckets of fun was partly dependant on a streamlines experience.
Captain JJ 4x
December 3, 2015 at 08:27
Hence the wink 😉
Though I tend to not have buckets of fun when the game isn’t steamlined.

Hammersteyn
December 3, 2015 at 08:23
Frost ranks 30 and excalibur.
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 08:29
I still need one part of Frost XD
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:35
I need Rhino Prime helmet and then I’ve got the upgraded version!
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 08:38
I only have the chassis or systems of Rhino P
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:07
I got chassis, systems and BP of RhinoP last night
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:43
We will get that helmet soon
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:44
Agreed, TONIGHT!
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 09:30
I have another bp, chassis & system spare.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:42
ANOTHER?
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 09:52
Yeah. I did a fair amount of void farming in Oct heh.
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 09:54
I’ll give you some Plat for it 😛 (not a lot mind you :P)
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 09:58
lol. The first time I’ve ever got plat for anything. 😀
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:59
Around here we pay in Vacuum mods xD
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 10:14
He offered me prime parts, “got it”, “got it”, “got it” lol
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 10:21
Talking about parts, guess who is now sick of T3 Def… this guy!
Ash MF P
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 10:26
I need Ash parts too
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 11:02
It’s probably quicker to get his prime now than the regular one.
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 11:10
Much easier 😛
Also these new sortie missions are epic, the 3rd one is lvl 100 enemies xD (watching the dev stream now on youtube)
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 11:11
Yeah. All hail corrosive projection, and Nyx. Let them kill themselves hehe.
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 11:12
Although I can just imagine the raging that’ll happen in pub missions from all the “pros”.
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 11:15
Hahaha I will be running CP with a link Trinity all day xD
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 11:34
Yeah? Do elaborate?
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 11:36
The normal one is stuck behind 8 player raids, so getting it from normal 4 man void drops is faster ATM
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 11:57
Ah, I see
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 11:40
Ash parts only drop from Grineer manics.
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 10:38
Now you know how I feel about excavation missions. 30k cryotic is a lot of farming. Even with a booster lol.
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 10:39
whats with all the cryotic? was it for trinity?
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 10:56
Her, and Knux research. Which is also the reason I went Tellurium farming this last weekend.
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 10:12
HAHAHA
Hammersteyn
December 3, 2015 at 08:52
I can now move on to Frost Prime. Off to google I go
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 08:53
The prime vault opens 8 Dec then you can get Frost P until Jan 2016
Hammersteyn
December 3, 2015 at 09:11
…k no idea what this means XD
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 09:18
O good I thought it’s only me 🙂
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:42
Frost P was removed from the game a while back, so now its coming back for a limited time 🙂
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:15
You need to help me farm that pls
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:24
We all gotta jump in together, that way we don’t waste keys. That reminds me, I have to farm some aditional keys before then 😛
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 09:29
As long as parts aren’t hidden behind t3/4 captures or exterminates I should have enough.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:41
I’ve got a metric ton of keys, we should be good
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:42
Just 1 part of my Trinity P took 40 keys 😛
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:44
WAT?
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:48
Had terrible RNG
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:53
So bad you would have come seventh on random.org
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:53
Twice
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:56
*seven times in a row
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 09:59
Frost P & Reaper P. I’ve either got half or a quarter of Frost, need Reaper’s blade.
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 09:59
Also need reaper blade and one part for latron
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 10:26
How many WF slots have you got?
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 10:28
Well let’s see. I have 25 frames and many, many more weapons. ;P
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 10:41
TWENTY FIVE?
Masehare, I only have 5
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 10:58
There’s 26 frames excluding primes and the new one in U18.
Ottokie
December 3, 2015 at 10:59
On 21 atm, just need to start some hiding behind quests
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:12
Nah with all the warframe reading I need to do, I will only be able to start playing JC3 when the game is fully fixed 😛
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:12
What have you learned thusfar?
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:16
Not enough, my frame is only level 12, and so many upgrades and cards I need to get to.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:18
I’ve got PLENTY spare mods if you want some nice things
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:22
Thanks , leveling does seem to go quickly at the moment, will let you know , but luckily I do have a trusty Hammersteyn as a medic which helps.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 09:23
You know that is going to come back to haunt you
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 09:28
I ain’t scared of no ghost

December 3, 2015 at 08:22
lol same, but I was poking the master race beehive
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:33
XD.
I need the Rhino warframe that is all I want right now, to google I go.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:34
I really like the Rhino. Nice for solo, and nice when you need to level up weapons
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 08:40
Rhino is easy to get. Rhino Prime on the other hand…
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:43
Microtransactions 😛
Just finished the “tutorial” last night, so that is good that it is easy.
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 09:16
LOL! Nooooo, I just picked it up by killing the Jackal on Venus.
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 09:27

Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 08:50
Drops from the Jackal on Venus.

I waited so long for the U18 patch, It never went live.
*I see on the main website it has launched 😛
WitWolfy
December 3, 2015 at 08:12
God bless Steam refunds. Will make devs wake the fudge up and actually make playable games in the future! Wish consoles had this feature too.

This hasn’t completely grabbed my attention quite like the other games. Plus I’m still nursing three other games at the moment, after which I will have quite a few others to get to. So this will have to wait.
WitWolfy
December 3, 2015 at 08:14
Like wise.. I still have to finish Batman AK too!!! That game has being hanging around on my PS4 HDD for months, too scared to delete it, thanks to all the updates it got of late.
Alien Emperor Trevor
December 3, 2015 at 08:20
I had a look on Steam last night & there’re quite a few people bitching about how buggy it is. Funnily enough R6 Siege seems to be very well received, very few complaints about that.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:26
Pity about the ONLINE Terrorist hunt
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 08:30
You can lonewolf Terrorist Hunt.
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:31
That is a nice add on but for R800 (console) hell no.
Admiral Chief - CHAAARGE!
December 3, 2015 at 08:34
I read you need to be ONLINE for that
VampyreSquirrel
December 3, 2015 at 08:38
You HAVE to be ONLINE to go into the menu, (As far as I know), I haven’t started the game up without my internet connection.
Captain JJ 4x
December 3, 2015 at 08:28
All the complaints are from old school Rainbow Six fans that can appreciate that it’s not Rainbow Six.
All the other reviews mean nothing to me 😉
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:31
It’s a shell of the real rainbow six franchise, I will only give it a try when on special.
Captain JJ 4x
December 3, 2015 at 08:39
I probably won’t bother unless it’s gifted to me. MP only doesn’t interest me.
Ir0nseraph
December 3, 2015 at 08:44
I wouldn’t mind playing a few TerroHunts with friends, but not at it’s current price PvP isn’t my cup of tea anymore.
Captain JJ 4x
December 3, 2015 at 08:47
I’d also like Terrorist Hunt, but I’ll pay R50 for that, since it’s all part of the game that I would use.
