speaking of which, I wonder if I can completely destroy all chaos objects in a base only using cows and exploding barrels 
Liberated all locations, collected all vintage parts & all diary tapes, lit all shrines, and visited all tombs. Was about to pick up the last diary tape when something very unusual drove past: a red hatchback with a deer running in place on its roof.
Can’t blame him. Running on a treadmill gets really boring.
I’m resurrecting this zombie thread (ok, it’s only a Zombie Light) because I just finished this game last night. All in all this is a really great game. The overwhelming problem is of course the time it takes to load; but beyond that it is really fun. Did any of you previous posters ever finish it?
My pros and cons:
*Load times are bad (I played on PS4); but once you got used to it, it was easier to deal with.
*Some of the challenges are hard, and I don’t see how anyone got 100% of the gears on some of them.
*Cars are difficult to drive; but this is definitely counteracted by the ease in which you can fly around with the parachute and the wing suit.
Personally I don’t enjoy games where you have the ‘boss levels’ that require twice as much skill to get past that place in the game; only to start you back at the beginning of the battle when you die.
- One of the things I really liked about JC3 was that when you died, you more or less went back to where you left off. In other words, good automatic save points.
- The game encourages you to think outside the box. This is especially true in some of the challenges. i.e. in machine gun challenge, you might assume you need to try to use your hand held machine gun; only to discover the challenge is a lot easier just by grappling across the map to hop in a Navajo Helicopter and knock out the challenge that way.
- Some of the challenges encourage replay. So you earn gears for how well you do in a challenge; in some of the races, you have the option of selecting a better vehicle once you’ve saved that vehicle to a garage. Likewise a few gears might earn you better performance tool (i.e. NOS/Nitro) which will then help you do better the next time you play.
- The story line was compelling enough, yet not too complicated. At the end of the day it’s about taking back over from an evil dictator. Nice and simple.
- Once you complete the game you can turn settlements as ‘un free’ again so you can enjoy the challenge of freeing that settlement again.
Anyway this is an old-ish game, but since there has been nothing new lately that falls into my enjoyment or interest; I pulled this out and played it from beginning to end over the last few weeks.
I finished it a few weeks ago I wasn’t as pleased as I thought with it.
I loved JC2 to pieces and went out of my way to finish it completely, achievements and all. It stayed on my 360’s HD for age so I could fire it up and rattle through a few of the challenges.
JC3 just felt lacking in comparison, as if they whisked away a tonne of content for DLC. The north of the map was massive but surprisingly empty, like a lot of copy/paste of the dingiest objects. With a few less fun missions, the rest of the game felt like too many random challenges.

Ditto - except that I haven’t bought, but 100% sure that I will. I’m just so caught up in FO4 and Elite Dangerous I don’t want to divide my attention even further.

Oddly, I played Fallout 4 last night, and haven’t touched Just Cause 3 in at least 8 months.
But it isn’t because I didn’t like JC3; I did, very much. But I got to a rage-quit point on one of the very last story missions, where you have to first defend a wall and it’s supply caches from soldiers and jet aircraft; then chase a helicopter (on a motorcycle, I think) and shoot it down.
I failed the “defend the cache and shoot down the jets” part about 15 times over 4 play-sessions. I finally was able to get past that point, and shot down the helicopter, and listened to the dying guy’s monologue…and the game never progressed past that point - no “mission complete”. Just me, next to the burning wreckage, waiting for something to happen.
Yep, I finished the main story last year. Started playing the DLC then got distracted by a new shiny game. I might go back to it now because I have a PS4Pro and boost mode helps to smooth out the frame rate drops.
The world, the grapple hook and the destruction is great fun, they really need to make “Just Cause 3 Online” with multiplayer and they would rake it in. The shenanigans you could get up to with the grapple hook with multiple players would be insane.
There’s JC3 multiplayer, but it’s PC only.
Yeah I knew about that, but its an unofficial mod… so that makes it even more bizarre why the developer doesn’t purchase the source code to the mod and employ those people and then polish it up and make it an official patch on all platforms. The work is already done.
GTA V is still selling like crazy four years after release because of GTA Online. ( I just checked GTA V is still in the top 5 best selling games on PS3 and PS4 Feb 2017 Stats).
Finished it, but that was arguably the worst thing I could have done.
The final boss battle was total junk. He has a ship that’s basically invulnerable to anything you can throw at it, except for x number of seconds. It was so bad that I ended up running out of ammunition mid-way through the fight and had to resort to the infinite C4 - which means I had to grapple to the ship, plant the C4, and detonate it, all within those x seconds.
The rest of the game was great, though. “Here, blow up this facility.” And you could approach it any way you want to, with a wide selection of weapons. Not quite Red Faction levels of play, but still pretty good. The actual story missions should totally be skipable (the writing’s not good, and there’s too many ways to fail the objectives), but the sandbox lives up to the hype, and I spent hours gliding around with the wingsuit.
Yeah I really liked the wing suit challenges, one of the best parts of the game. Might have to purchase steep, looks promising on that front.
