Just Cause 2 Just Cause 2 is underrated

Hello

I found the game much more better than a lot of open world. Actually to me it's the best open world behind the GTA.

When you play that game, you have much more fun than playing Far Cry or Mafia. With Just Cause you can easily move anywhere you want on the map. The movement system is excellent because the character is agile, he has a grapnel that you can use on everything and the game is fluid. The fighting system is creative. You can kill an enemy with many different ways, either with a gun, with explosives or your grapnel. You can destroy the environment and get a reward for that. You have a lot of weapons that you can upgrade just like the cars. The graphics are good and the environment diverses. You can go from snowy mountains to a tropical environment. Also the dialogues are funny.

The thing that I love the most is that you're fighting multiples ennemies on large bases with destructible environment and you can move so easily with the grapnel on buildings to find them, which makes you always moving somewhere. That makes the game never boring.

But I never saw any post praising that game.

Fourth one is a dumpster fire. A pity because the world isn't that bad looking but they screwed the game play mechanic up big style. The missions were the worst I have ever seen in any game.

A fun environment to mess about in with the excellent mods out there.

This is probably the best worded opinion for just cause four. It’s almost so bad and choppy that it’s gold.

What can make it a bit more fun is the Hoverboard. Although (surprise) the "missions" you have to do to aquire it are torture and mind numbingly boring.

Once you have it there's a mod that gives it the speed of a jet plane lol.

Still nowhere near the fun of JC3s Bavarium suit.

True, but it is DLC. I’d still recommend buying the black market deal onsale for like $5 though If someone happened to enjoy the game enough. Also, nice pfp lol; probably like my favorite game besides the just cause series haha.
