I've been having trouble getting into games nowadays. But, when I discovered this game and started playing it, I hardly could/can stop. It is so fun and ADDICTIVE. There's so much to do and explore that you just wanna keep playing. I've put in 18 hours into the game and I have only uncovered maybe half the map. In my opinion this is the BEST sandbox style game ever.
This game runs so well on mu ps3. This was actually my first digital copy game. Best part: you can make game play videos within the game and it works fine! It doesn't even lower fps much on the video. I've done one crazy AA missile dodge and made it crash in a bridge pilon while watching behind my jet plane...so cool,I have it on video thanks to the video recording feature 😃 lot's of fun with this game. View distance is surprisingly big too
So, would anyone be able to tell me how Just Cause 2 is on 360? I know some, if not all of the video was from 360, it said so at some point. But short clips don't really show much. How's the pop in? How's the loading? Slow down? Is there less stuff overall? Things like that. Reviews rarely seem to mention specific versions unless it's just "PC is better", which doesn't actually tell anyone anything. And I know for a fact console versions aren't quite as good as the PC versions, which usually are the versions being played in a review.
Mines a free digital copy, but it runs well. I'm sure if you blow up too much stuff, it'll lag, but otherwise, loading times are good, and it runs well.
I just realized that I've played the 30 minute long demo at least 15-20 times, which means 7-10 hours! Even the demo, with no fun missions, just a small area available, and no really tall mountains to jump off, is so ridiculously fun, that it just blows my mind! Definetaly getting this game!
I'm thinking of buying this. One of my favorite aspects of the GTA series was the hidden packages/tags/flying rats ETC. Does this game have anything along those lines?
This is a beutiful game with a high frame rate and very little to no hiccups, even at crazy speeds. Drivng off the highest cliff at top speed, reacts just as well as leisurely walking the streets. And the size is tremendous, it has to be as big as gta4 and rdredemption combined. Bottom line this game is extremely underrated, it deserves at least a 9.3.
Judging on what he said I'd say it was an 8-9/10 Pros: Awesome Gameplay Huge Scale Do anything you want Cons: Glitchy/buggy at times Targetting system sucks
You can capture video gameplay on the PS3 version and save it on the XMB so you can copy it to your computer that way. Or you can upload directly to RUclips. But that's only the PS3 version.
Nem33 Yeah, the game is fun, but with planes and some vehicles I feel like the controller is a superior option. So what I do is I have my Xbone controller plugged in, so when I'm on foot or parachute I can aim more effectively, but while I'm driving I can more precisely land and stuff, since the keyboard controls while landing in planes is kinda wierd to say the least.
@majjuus i know, the firetruck isnt even that shape. the vechile shown is a gang vechile, folks. the real fire truck actually looks like a fire engine.
@Vampheric, and yes THIS IS MY HOBBY and I love it to death...whenever I'm not gaming I'm collectiing, hunting, doing research on the very best across a variety of different platforms. It all started with just one simple game I wanted called Super Mario Bros.2 (Nes) and never stopped since. So yes it's a never ending game obsession and a lot of people have it. Understand that a lot of these are for collective purposes whenever i don't have duplicates. The classics are the best of all time.
Great review Kev, and happy birthday, reviewing on your bday lol. Its a shame this games controls are messed up, I played the PS3 demo and hated them. It could have been a AAA title and more. Hopefully, the PC version won't have an issue like the consoles do.
they are both very good, if you had to choose I'd go for Just Cause 2. There is something special about swimming in a pond, racing through the woods with a bike to find a street, switch to a car to drive to the airport, capture a big plane and basejump back to the little pond :) I didnt have any problems with the targeting though^^ PC version.
How does Just Cause 1 compare to this new one? And if this one has 400 miles to roam around, how many miles does the first allow you to conquer? I'm asking because before I play a sequal, I must play the first and I have never played Just Cause so yeah.
@UltimateFighterOwnag in a interview i watched the guy said u just gotta do like 2 or 3 missions then you can go anywhere on the map without HAVING to do the missions to unlock new places or something like that
@Flunkorg You're right. Especially some smaller villages and smaller military bases are exact copies. Maybe you already had a higher percentage when you decided to stop playing than I do now. I completely understand why you would get bored, but I'm not bored yet. I've pretty much seen every street in Liberty City, but I have barely discovered 50% of the settlements in Panau.
The only real issues I have with JC2 are, No cover system, The jumping is a little floaty and the Helicopter is a little slow and the planes are hard to control at times. But this game is SWEET!!!! the graphics are very good and its fun to play.
@mysterykcad it depends. if you like bad people, mafia things, strange things to happen, and crime, gta4. if you like GIANT places, awesome cars, endless jetpacks, bad aiming system, and awesome but strange things to happen, just cause 2. i have gta4 but im planning to get just cause 2.
@MassTV94 they stopped putting the ratings in their videos so they get more site traffic. you can go to the review pages directly from the info box on the right, so at least its painless.
@DudemanofAwesome Yeah there are these collectibles scattered all over the map that are not just fun to find but they also help you in the game by allowing you to upgrade health, weapons and vehicles.
@blueice 14633, what grade A games have you played lately? if you think this is superior quality material. I say BIOSHOCK 2, BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2, FINAL FANTASY 13, GOD OF WAR 3 (even 1 and 2), NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 (or any damn ninja gaiden), TATSUNOKU vs CAPCOM (Yea a damn wii game) ARKHAM ASYLUM(Older game) etc. are grade A quality material bud. Now keep in mind these are the games I'm used to purchasing and playing, so to me this was a big step down, not saying you can't enjoy your stuff
3 things would make this game much better: 1. The police shouldn't spawn so quickly. 2. A replay camera with the last 30-60 seconds of action would be a blast to play with after causing big explosions. The ability to save those clips and copy them from console to PC would be great too (and result in viral marketing videos for the game). 3. When you hit a motorcycle with a car or truck, the motorcycle should wipe out, dammit! They never tip over making the getaways much less catastrofun.
however jc2's targetting system is awesome for cool ass stunts, i mean, how awesome is it, when you brake your car, make it spin 720 degrees in front of 3 guys, and stunt jump out and hold down the trigger?, awesomeness happens
I have not actually encountered any of the bugs that they have pointed out. Also the accuracy seems fine to me although I use PC which means aiming is actually possible.
I don't mean to sound mean or anything, like I like cheerful people but that guy reviewing Just cause 2 is wayyyyy to happy. Even when he is talking about the bad parts. Great game though truly awesome :D
@richdude37 I think you should get Just Cause 2, but thats just my opinion. You should look at videos from each game and see which one you like the most.
the mission with BOOM BOOM had the funniest dialoge i had ever heard. Such a great game. If you missed it on steam summer sale, its 5$ on gamestop right now. Keep an eye out for the multiplayer mod too
this games fun but it does have pains in the ass like having gun but no way to buy ammo, having no reverse on planes or having the cops on you for no reason
Got this game 2 days ago absolutely love it, only problem with it is its hard 2 get some of the locations without a helicopter or plane and helicopters are boring-ly slow and jets are hard 2 manuever
@EHEHEHEOIL, Final Fantasy 13 might have a difficult fight system but that does'nt make it a half ass unpolished game. Big difference between the two, but I understand you.
@nmgh101 You can't really compare the two. GTA 4 is very serious in tone and JC2 almost feels like a cheesy B-movie. However, I do think Just Cause 2 is more fun overall. It's MUCH bigger than GTA 4. It's also more colorful and the world just offers more variety. It lets you do some insane stuff that GTA 4 doesn't offer. As much as I love GTA 4, I was dissapointed when for instance I found out you couldn't fly airplanes.
@mattroks101 What really ticks me off sometimes is to get over a ledge or a wall you have jump or use the grapple hook. This game would have been so much smoother if they implemented an auto-grab ledge thing. Other then that the infinite parachutes are great. My longest fall was about 3 minutes, geez!
I'm having so much fun playing this on Backwards compatibility on Xbox one
+Matthew Edwards Having fun playing this on my PC:)

+TXF It's runs pretty well for the 360, better than my crappy PC at least.
So does the 3rd game offer more destruction or more of the same just better textures?
The only minus is that JC2 is TOO SHORT!
Just 7 REAL story missions...
Another minus should be driving.
@@yagotevez-prog oh, i didn't know that, thank you for it, now when i go buy my JC2 i go remember this

Man I dedicated lot of time in this game to find all hidden crates & supplies artifacts etc
No
is it normal to have 60-90 fps with geforce gt 520? and lowest settings?
Yes...depends also on the CPU. It's not a very new game you know...
This is the best open world game of that generation.
They did

It's a 10
@@smek4254 yo. You really just comment on a 9 year old comment?
Yup nostalgia is timeless
Judging on what he said I'd say it was an 8-9/10
Pros:
Awesome Gameplay
Huge Scale
Do anything you want
Cons:
Glitchy/buggy at times
Targetting system sucks
The song at the end is Propane Nightmares by Pendulum if anyone is curious.
so is this like a free roam, sandbox game or something or is it just a really big environment for each mission? looks cool either way.
You can capture video gameplay on the PS3 version and save it on the XMB so you can copy it to your computer that way. Or you can upload directly to RUclips. But that's only the PS3 version.
As for the aiming difficulties, I have none of these problems on the PC version, maybe due to mouse aim being more accurate.
Good to know I just got this for PC
Nem33 Yeah, the game is fun, but with planes and some vehicles I feel like the controller is a superior option. So what I do is I have my Xbone controller plugged in, so when I'm on foot or parachute I can aim more effectively, but while I'm driving I can more precisely land and stuff, since the keyboard controls while landing in planes is kinda wierd to say the least.
Champturn I play on console, and I have no idea what the reviewer is talking about, in terms of the aiming.
@majjuus

I dont get why they say the aiming is bad, it practically aims for you when the target is even sort of close to your cursor....
Just an absolutley amazing Game!!!!!'so much to do and blow up!!! They better make a just cause 3!!!!!
Dylan Ginther
Aaaaaand, here is 3 and now goes 4. Man they should make a just cause 5!
@Akshay Nakar JEEESUS
@patriotsfan12hab was the ending sweet? im almost to the last mission i think
Great review Kev, and happy birthday, reviewing on your bday lol.
Its a shame this games controls are messed up, I played the PS3 demo and hated them. It could have been a AAA title and more. Hopefully, the PC version won't have an issue like the consoles do.
Which is better: the PS3 or the Xbox 360 version of this game?
@invalidude it IS in HD
you just have to wait for an hour or 2.
they are both very good, if you had to choose I'd go for Just Cause 2. There is something special about swimming in a pond, racing through the woods with a bike to find a street, switch to a car to drive to the airport, capture a big plane and basejump back to the little pond :)

I'm asking because before I play a sequal, I must play the first and I have never played Just Cause so yeah.
The game is free until the 15th
@UltimateFighterOwnag in a interview i watched the guy said u just gotta do like 2 or 3 missions then you can go anywhere on the map without HAVING to do the missions to unlock new places or something like that
IDK what they are talking about when there are audio problems. I haven't gotten any.
It was 75% off on steam. Worth it!
It's my favourite game of the current generation. Can't have more fun than this...
should i get this game?
@Flunkorg You're right. Especially some smaller villages and smaller military bases are exact copies. Maybe you already had a higher percentage when you decided to stop playing than I do now. I completely understand why you would get bored, but I'm not bored yet. I've pretty much seen every street in Liberty City, but I have barely discovered 50% of the settlements in Panau.
Pretty good game, the 3 things keeping it from being a great game is mission variety, landscape diversity, and fast travel.
How does this compare to saints row 3. I have both but don't know which to start first
what should i buy fifa 11 or just cause 2?
please awnser
is there is any sort of multiplayer?
Should I get this
@Jordan99T can you enter buildings? it doesn't matter much, ofcourse.. but I've always like that in games!
@MrSoupyBalls nope... now i have to wait for 2 weeks because they going to get it... how about u did you get it??
what should i buy just cause 2 or mafia 2?
please awser
that whole thing at the start about the helicopter, you can do all that in prototype, except the parachute part.
Yes, it is.
And why are you making that question?
Does you think time make games worse?
The only real issues I have with JC2 are, No cover system, The jumping is a little floaty and the Helicopter is a little slow and the planes are hard to control at times.
But this game is SWEET!!!! the graphics are very good and its fun to play.

I should mention that I also want to buy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

WHAT IS THE MUSIC AT 0:14 CALLED?!?!

@invalidude they do upload it... It needs to procces before its in hd.
It is, just wait... In a few hour it will be HD, for the minutes it will not be HD to make the upload as quick a possible.
release date for this game?
I don't mean to sound mean or anything, like I like cheerful people but that guy reviewing Just cause 2 is wayyyyy to happy. Even when he is talking about the bad parts.
Great game though truly awesome :D
If you think about getting this game, right now there's a sale on steam, 75% off, making it 5 Euros/6 dollars.
Is this game worth it for 20$?
u can turn them off by clicking the bottom right button on the video
this is a very accurate review in my opinion, this guys a good reviewer.
@richdude37 I think you should get Just Cause 2, but thats just my opinion. You should look at videos from each game and see which one you like the most.
When I was playing, I drove this one car off a HUGE Cliff. It was awesome.
It is in a bundle which costs 7,5 dollars right now.
the mission with BOOM BOOM had the funniest dialoge i had ever heard. Such a great game. If you missed it on steam summer sale, its 5$ on gamestop right now. Keep an eye out for the multiplayer mod too
hmm...i dont know if I should get this game..cuz i like guns and if i use em and not hit anything that'll just piss me off. but it looks really fun
subtiles?
I don't care if the voice acting and story sucks. For a game like this, all I want is pure and thrilling fun. Just Cause 2 does that perfectly!
@WorthyFail i think he means when it locks on to random enemies for no reason.
Still don't know what to think about this game...
@zolleen The story mode is not short. Not really. It took me 38 hours ish to beat all the agency/faction missions.
or maybe you could wait till it processes hd through youtube?
this games fun but it does have pains in the ass like having gun but no way to buy ammo, having no reverse on planes or having the cops on you for no reason
@KubaBooba That's why the developers were smart enough to allow extractions at any time to any place.
should i get this or far cry 3??
@The1337guy1 what platform?
The subs were a neat touch. Kevin best GS reviewer.
Got this game 2 days ago absolutely love it, only problem with it is its hard 2 get some of the locations without a helicopter or plane and helicopters are boring-ly slow and jets are hard 2 manuever
trust me, this game will have you playing ALOT! ive played for 16 hours of jus screwen around and im barely 20%.
@EHEHEHEOIL, Final Fantasy 13 might have a difficult fight system but that does'nt make it a half ass unpolished game. Big difference between the two, but I understand you.
Hmm, not sure if that was a firetruck...
So this is alot like if you were Venom in Spiderman, swing, terrorize people, glide etc
anyone ever tried grappling a soldier to a gas bottle and shooting the bottle? use the larger gas bottle for the full effect
i played the demo, i didnt liked it, its like another mercenaries, am i right?
No multiplayer, bad target system, high mission frustration level... Sounds like something that I should let go down in price first.
