Multiplat Just Cause 4

It seems alright so far, but I'm barely past the intro mission so we'll see. Was it the gameplay or the story line that left you cold?

The stories have basically always been the same. Dunno, maybe just too much of the same.

Although when I played the last one I had some overpowered DLC weapon from the start that made everything more fun.

I've never thought about the story. These games are just dumb fun sandboxes where I reenact my favourite action movies.

Got this cheap, I played the hell out of 3 when it was on PS Plus, am looking forward to many hours of mindlessly destroying stuff

How does it compare to JC3?

This is probably the biggest issue with 4, there's not the same incentive to go around blowing shit up. At least it didn't feel as satisfying as in 3 for some reason.

Yeah, I'm a couple of hours in and I still haven't really worked out how the whole 'mindlessly destroying stuff' equates to gaining territory. In 3 you'd get a nice fanfare and a propaganda speech, and I must say I miss that. I like how it feels like being in a proper warzone though

Okay, having played this a fair bit over the past few days, I can see the problem with it as compared to 3, and that is the balance between missions and the free range territory thing, in 3 you could pootle about destroying bases at your leisure whilst doing the odd mission here and there, but with this one you actually have to do missions to clear bases as well as doing story missions. Not only that but you have timed missions as well, and I hate timed missions.

So yeah, very glad I didn't pay full price with this one, as I've barely started the story and I'm already completely fed up with it. A pity, because I really liked a lot of it, but those base-clearing missions are just bullshit.

Wasn't so bad, got it cheap a few months ago. Good fun at the start but it just seems the whole game is 'go here, blow this up, flip some circuit breakers, repeat.'
Got really repetitive after a while.
