if you haven't, please play just cause 3. it is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made and the entire premise is: ok here's your grappling hook, parachute, wingsuit, bombs, and guns, now go blow up every thing and/or person with red on it. there is a story (and it's decent) but who cares, you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.
It's also a beautiful game. I would spend hours just zipping around and taking in the scenery. Thanks for the reminder that I need to replay JC3
true, and it looks that good without trying to shove raytracing and stuff like that down your throat so it runs smoothly on real computers and not just Nvidia's latest cash grab.
I'd also say 2 is worth it. Not as good as 3 but still a load of fun... Ah man, I might have to reinstall, I almost forgot about it until you said this!
2 is absolutely worth it, but man 3 is probably one of my favorite games ever.
the story is much better in jc2 but it's so hard to go back to with how well executed the movement was in 3. it's a shame they skimped on the writing.
like, the final boss in 2 is a fist fight on a flying cluster of ICBMs. the final boss in 3 is... a helicopter.
yeah the story isn't amazing but everything else is the best ever made
I can't even play JC4 because JC3 was just so good. Why the hell did they change the formula in 4? The missions are boring as hell in 4. They kept the "fight these guys," "open these doors," "release these prisoner" missions, but I have yet to be tasked with destroying, well, anything. 😮💨
The only thing in 4 I liked more than 3 was that the rocket things you can stick on stuff can be used multiple times and don't automatically explode, so you can use them to fly a car without fear of blowing up.
JC3 is fun to just spend hours dicking around in, or seriously investing it with the gameplay. It's honestly amazing how good of a game they made around the concept of "blow up some shit, and then blow up some more shit"
100% agree. JC3 is a gem of a game
