> [@Raza](#): > > protect-a-person-while-they-hack-the-terminal Something like this is present almost right off the bat: there’s a remote hacker who needs Rico to stay near a console or they’ll lose the signal. “Near” is a pretty wide range, though, which enables Rico to dodge grenades. There’s also a nearby weapons crate containing a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher; the former is quite useful for taking out a sniper who shows up. All this kept me so busy that I didn’t really notice the timer. ---

Went back to the first village, the one visited during the first mission after the intro. I guess there are a couple of chaos targets somewhere; 0% is displayed after the name. ---

Hm. According to Reddit, the percentage has to do with activities in the nearby vicinity rather than the location itself. This seems to be confirmed by completing a specific activity near that factory raising its percentage to 33. ---

Okay, yep, stupid timed missions are present. Drown 10 cars in five minutes and they’re scattered all over the damned place? 'Nother game I have to cheat at to finish. ---

At least they tried to be helpful by having a checkpoint at 5 cars, but they did a half-assed job by not moving the spawn point closer to the rest of the cars. I can’t even get to the other side of the harbor in 2½ minutes! ---

I really appreciate the updated reviews. It sounds like, as much of a Just Cause fan as I’ve been, JC4 isn’t for me, if for no other reason than at my age doing timed missions is difficult and rage-inducing. Thanks again. ---

Don’t get me wrong; the game is fun enough for me to find a “god mode” mod for pausing that timer. I’ve only found one other maddening mission so far, one with a countdown timer where you have to learn the pattern of flying objects and shoot them down with a flak gun. Had some fun using the flak afterwards to blast baddies off a nearby road. ---

Much less annoying with WeMod freezing the timers. ---

I wonder what the height limit is. 3000 meters and still climbing… ---

Passed 4000 meters; there’s a dogfight going on below me. ---

You’ve all probably seen this before but a fun Penny Arcade comic > **[Cow Attachment Syndrome - Penny Arcade](https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2015/12/04/cow-attachment-syndrome)** > > Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary. ---

Lost my ride around 5500 meters. ---

It sounds like, as much of a Just Cause fan as I’ve been, JC4 isn’t for me, if for no other reason than at my age doing timed missions is difficult and rage-inducing. If you do get the game at some point, skip the Los Demonios DLC. The crossbow is really nice but the missions are nuts. Like, approaching VVVVVV level nuts; even with God Mode active, those ancient horrors are still really annoying. ---
