Draconian Guppy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Mindless fun, I enjoy stealing military airplanes and just bombing the hell out of military headquarters all round :) Also runs much better than GTA... cities are empty though?

DrCheese Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 The game is fun for about 3-4 hours and then the 'fun' just drops, NO decent story to keep you interested, NO implementation of proper physics to mess around with bodies and watch how destruction unfolds, completely over-the-top features that let you explore so fast, you feel like you've seen "everything" a bit too quickly. By everything I mean the most obvious areas, going over the same copy & paste terrain is not exploring. The engine is amazing and it's a bloody shame it was wasted on a game like this. Yeah... I got this yesterday after playing the demo for a while. I'm 5 hours in and I'm bored to tears already. There's only so much blowing up stuff and then running from the cops you can do before you die of boredom. Without a decent story there's just no point, no goal. I've flown around pretty much the whole map, blown up virtually every type of object at least once. The faction missions are just dull. I played/completed the Saboteur recently on the PS3 which had the same idea, i.e occupied WW2 Paris with a ton of Nazi emplacements to destroy, but that had a semi decent story linking everything together, meaning you blew up stuff as a side quest and not the primary goal which kept it fresh. You did it because you wanted to do it and not because you was forced to. The game also had a decent soundtrack whist driving which for some reason, Just cause doesn't have. A shame, I really enjoyed the demo but I don't think I'll bother much longer with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm renting it and I think it's good, but I will get bored of it soon. It feels like Crackdown mixed with Spiderman. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tablet_user Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I passed on this game because it will not run on XP at all... their loss. lol thier loss. Somehow i doubt people that wont pay to upgrade thier pcs are a threat to thier game sales. As for the game, it was fun for sure but the car handling was down right stupid. The driving was definitely a last minute addition before releasing the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I passed on this game because it will not run on XP at all... their loss. Pretty sure it's a DX10 game?.... and there is no DX10 on XP.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah, it's no fault of the developer. XP just uses old technology that today's games are beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Pretty much. It's also likely that those who have the system spec required to run the game are already running Vista or above so dropping XP will hardly affect their sales massively. I played again a bit earlier, It's also getting damn annoying clearing out a base only to be forced to run around it for 5/10 minutes finding the last box/thing to blow up. Again, the Saboteur which I played recently let you bring up a map that would show the average location or they appeared on the minimap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrCheese Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 ya I do, it's those damn upgrade boxes that are a pain to get. The arrow that appears is near enough useless given that usually you are right on top of them before it starts moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 26, 2010 You do know the Wifi signal symbol thing on the top left corner of the screen is like a Proximity detector for the upgrade boxes..

Where can I find these military airplanes? Military airplanes of course are on the military airbases (the ones with strips). The G9 Eclipse can be found at several of them.

chaos mage Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I believe I'm at 55% world completion. I plan to pass at least 75% before starting the game on a harder difficulty muahahah I really don't get one of the achievements. I'm sure I'd have to find a guide.

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 26, 2010 I've seen a few floating turrets and whatnot, plus the fact that Rico ragdolls like crazy occasionally which is really annoying. And getting aeroplanes to go backwards is finicky. I can do it SOMETIMES but I'm not quite sure how. :p But other than that it's pretty swift.
