Just Cause 4 Reloaded

I bought JC 3 and 4 as a package deal about seven months ago and I went on to platinum JC 3. Is it the best game ever? No (specifically because some of the gear challenges/protect missions) BUT I had an insane amount of fun playing it! I went through my catalogue today and decide you know what.. let me go and play JC 4 and see what it’s about. Surely it is as good as JC 3 was at minimum right? RIGHT? Boy was I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrong. This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and a complete embarrassment to even play after JC3. To think that I’m playing this after years of patches… I can’t even imagine what people felt like when it was first released. Just to speak on the first 30 minutes comparison to JC3: WAYYYY worse intro like not even comparable. WHY AM I DOING A HACK AND WAIT SEGMENT IN THE INTRO TO THE GAME???? graphics some how look worse??? UI is still totally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on main menu so it’s all zoomed out. It seems they cared more about putting trees everywhere then good textures on buildings?? And I havent even had the displeasure of finding out the new system for liberating areas which I hear is ass too lol I am actually astounded that this would be released like this lmao fantastic way to kill a franchise hooollyyy ♥♥♥♥ DO NOT BUY THIS BS

bad graphics but enjoyable

JUST CAUSE 4 - HONEST REVIEW- coming from someone who has played through just cause 3 and 2 twice i wouldn't say that the game it bad , no , its amazing ! but not when compared to jc 3 the game offers a lot , even though things like no detonators , dual weapons and holding upto 3 weaopns thing weren't really there.. what i liked : -> the wingsuit felt SMOOTH ! dayum -> the biomes got peak design -> i found those little weather design pretty interesting -> this has better vehicle handling than jc 3 -> the gunplay is amazing -> FLYING FREAKING COWS ! WHO HATES FLYING COWS !?! absolute banger -> best f-ing around in all of just cause series -> the graphics and visuals were actually good what i didn't like :- apart from mentioned gameplay stuff , -> you do repetitive tasks to free a province , no more boom boom bam bam progression -> the hostage extraction missions are a bit boring -> the game crashes on the first launch and i have to open it again and it runs -> there are spike lags sometimes [ i was playing everything maxxed out , 70 fps overall , i noticed these spike lags even in low setting configs ] -> rico prolly has an identity crisis -> the nitro on the vehicles [ especially bikes ] sometimes bounce you off which is kinda goofy and fun but not on serious occasions SO, if this is your FIRST JUST CAUSE.. YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THIS ! ABSOLUTELY ! go for it ! its cheaper during sale ! and if you played jc 3 or any other jc ( other than 1 ) you'll immediately notice what i said but wouldnt hate it at all and is ABSOLUTELY WORTH YOUR TIME so I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO EVERYONE..

They had the perfect game with Just Cause 3 to ruin it with allegedly innovative gameplay, story that I forgot entirely, "better" enemies that never mattered and conquering grounds which felt weird. Also the praised weather physics hardly mattered that I'd need to mind a tornado.

Played it fine a few years ago and wanted to pick it up again, but it freezes on High End Hardware with every Fix you can find. Not playable! Do NOT recommend!

[DISCRETION!, scroll all the way bottom for TLDR unless you love hearing my complain. be entertained for what is worth] it's JC2 with a bit of JC3 minus JC3 and added with bugs and crashes for flavour (you actually need to restart your PC to have control again, force close does not work). Looks worst than JC3 somehow in quality, story writing is the same one you can find in disney movies maybe the biggest red flag was that they took 7 years to make this, 4 at most for any kind of game development but guess the last quality game was middle of 2010s, seriously there is barely any expression in the storytelling i cant tell if anyone is pissed or happy because all i saw was some pixelated faces ON THE HIGHEST GRAPHICS SETTING THE GAME ALLOWED, JC3 HAD MORE DETAIL AND FACIAL EXPRESSION THAN THIS, THE VOICE LINES SOUND SO FORCED JUST TO CONTINUE THE "plot" WHICH I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS THE PLOT how did we went from high tech stuff from jc3 to some slap together 2000s technology and add some chrome paint to say its high tech? how did we went from casually letting the game world culture flow to looking like it was made by 16 year olds who didnt know what gaming is and only best experience of creativity was disney movie plots they watched when they were 9? just for comparison in just cause 3 when you start off it was a slow casual plane ride into medici, you even if you dont know just cause series other than cover page explosions will take it casual seeing it before it gives you a slow but learnable introduction, shoot with rpg, use parachute a bit but mostly grapple before you start to have your wingsuit in 5 minutes and free to do what you want in just cause 4 suddenly we are in a mountain wanting to do vengence for some reason (older players in jc2 maybe know why, i dont all i know was this merc group is very bad bad no good), from slap start you are forced into a locked in keybind to move before you could fire a gun not like jc3, grappling for some reason they needed to change it to be more complicated to use and less versatile (this part is much MUCH later) and you have to do this "please follow along and go here" mission for about 10 to 15 minutes before you are free to do as you please. NEED I REMIND YOU HERE! you can only clear the regions by.... G R I N D I N G destruction via any big red painted stuff. thats right... you FFFFFFFF... GRRRRIIIIND THIS SSSSHHH TO PROGRESS. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF JUST CAUSE NEEDING TO GRIND MY AAAAAA. ALL I DID WAS DESTROY BUT NO HERE I NEED MUNITION WORTH ALL 3 SUPERPOWERS TO GET ENOUGH TO "clear the region" OH THATS RIGHT I FORGET TO TELL YOU! REFILLING AMMO IS BY "per magazine worth" IF YOU HAVE THE SAME GUN, NOT THE WHOLE THING, YOU CANT MASS ORDER REFILL EITHER ITS LIKE THAT AMAZON PACKAGING OF PUTTING A SMALL THING IN A TV SIZE BOX. ANY VEHICLE WITH WEAPONRY HAS L I M I T E D AMMO WOW WOW I CANT DO MY AIRSTRIKES ANYMORE WITH THIS. IT WAS INFINITE FOR JC3 WHY IS THIS A ISSUE?!?!?! remember what you read before this long long paragraph? no? in jc3 you can do whatever you want after introduction 5 minutes even if you dont have your wingsuit and the mission doesnt need you to do a world tour. jc4 you only have it to go here, listen a bit, go there, pew pew here, hold this objective for like 3 minutes. ALL THAT to get out of a mountain, for you to do another go here, listen a bit go there, pew pew here. and then you get your wingsuit... and then you have no idea where you are and what you should be doing. let me tell you something interested reader of my complain... if you were a new guy who has zero idea about just cause series and heard that this is the latest one. you think you will enjoy it? you think this was the best just cause you ever had? i will tell you this. this was not even worth it for me, it was only made WORTH IF you bought the wingsuit jet system which is a worse copy of the bavarium wingsuit in jc3 and a mech which was copied from the prison island dlc as well, i had to pay 5 extra picomicos from a already heavily discounted base game from 7 dollars to pay a total of 12 micmillos, ONLY THEN it was barely fun. ...also if you are fast enough you can actually finish this from morning to before midnight because the actual story is very short, most of the time is getting enough to clear regions. i did in within a week instead... never in my just cause experience grinding was fun, the fun was suppose to be destroying areas of control, not unlocking it the too long didnt read part: TL:DR of my experience for loving JC. get JC3 if you want the last true JC, get JC4 if you just want some closure on what was the sequel and then memory wipe yourself after experiencing how bad it was... my brain is fried from writing... my curiousity of this "sequel" has been satisfied, i wish i didnt bought it. too late for refunds anyway... call this poorly reviewed if you want you will never experience what true just cause is until you play jc3 only redeeming thing is explosions looks good minus gas station, that got nerfed a lot ...also if you are wondering why i keep paragraphing because all you will see is a wall of text, this is still a wall of text but "readable ish"

Жаль, что серия Just Cause загнулась. Сюжета нет, персонажи не раскрыты, антагонистов показали в начале игры и в конце, а финал вызывает только кринж. Вообще нет ощущения, что это сиквел. В игре есть метка "глубокий сюжет", это какой то стёб? Задания в игре как сюжетные так и дополнительные это тупость лютейшая. Они все одинаковые, нажми на кнопку и выключи генератор, всё !!! Желания делать их вообще не возникает. Челленджи для дцп по типу "пройди 400 одинаковых гонок", где даже никакого вызова нет, вызывают только желание удалить игру. ИИ тупорылейший. Противники либо стоят столбами, либо бегут под пули с уверенностью npc из 2000 года. И бежать они на вас будут просто бесконечной кучей. Ладно бы фиг с этой бесконечной толпой, но тебе даже не дают сражаться с ними!! Имбецил гг умеет носить с собой только несколько обойм, которых хватает на 10 секунд, а потом ♥♥♥♥♥ ты как ошпаренный бегаешь из угла в угол в попытках найти подходящие для тебя патроны >.< Зачем то убрали мины, гранаты и пистолеты. Нормальных рабочих стволов всего несколько, а остальное оружие просто больная фантазия шизоида, которым нормально пользоваться невозможно. Ездить на транспорте тот ещё квест. Езда и так никогда не была сильной стороной игры, но в четвёртой части как будто собрали всё самое худшее из предыдущих частей и соединили в один кошмар. Мир стал больше, но он абсолютно пустой и бездушный. Исследовать его неинтересно и вообще нет никакого смысла. Базы стали больше, а разрушаемости почему то стало меньше. И графика в третьей части намного лучше и сочнее. Если сравнивать предыдущие части с четвёртой, то она буквально хуже во всём. Полнейшая душная херота, не советую брать даже по скидке, вы просто испортите своё впечатление от серии.

not as bad as people say it is. i like it more then i do just cause 3, but its a shame you cant reactivate all of the tornados and sandstorms/ also i recommend getting the complete edition when its on sale

I am a fan of the series but I have mixed feelings about this particular game. Good things: - Beautiful map and nature. - Graphics and visual effects. - Optimization. - Character interacts with objects very naturally. - Feature-rich grapling hook. Bad things: - Killing enemies is an absolute waste of time becasuse they respawn constantly. - Weird key bindings and lack of full mouse support. - Cars feel like toy. - Weird FOV and it cannot be configured. - Weird camera. - Constantly repeating phrases (I especially hate using copters because the character sings the same star wars motive every 2 minutes). - Irritating music. - Unstable on Windows and doesn't run in Proton on Linux. - Cannot care less about the plot and the characters. - Using vehicles is almost pointless because the character is much more powerful. It feels similar to JC3 but is less polished and more irritating.
