    THE greatest game, OF ALL TIME. They perfected the destruction physics, and those who complain, it hasnt been fully released! There are more guns, an uber-massive map.

    Just Cause 3 takes the best parts of Just Cause 2 and makes them a hell of a lot better. Improved grapple hook that lets you fire multiple, letting you grapple 2 objects and pull them together. They also added a wingsuit that makes traversing the many islands exiting and beautiful...and of course you have the explosions that look absolutely stellar.

    Just a ton of fun, the grappling hook is absolutely brilliant. This game is a ton of chaos and a giant physics sandbox. Reached a lot of expectations.

    Just Cause 3 is an amazing game. The reason a lot of the negative reviews exist is because those people are looking at Just Cause 2 through rose tinted glasses. Having to be online to play the game is a load of crap, you can play the game in offline mode. I'm playing with a mouse and keyboard with the controls being about as good as wasd controls get.

    The gameplay is very good. Driving is hard but turning off vehicle camera auto align makes it a ton easier! Flying around with the wingsuit is awesome and when you get the hang of it is really really easy. Rebel drops work incredibly well and quickly. The explosion are everywhere and I have yet to get tired of them.
    On AMD the game seems to run bad, but on my 970 and an i7 3770k I'm running ultra 70-80 fps with some frame drops when I have have an entire city exploding.
    If you've never played JC2 then get this game and you'll enjoy the hell out of it. If you have played JC2 then stop looking at it like JC2 was made of solid gold and enjoy JC3. Don't think the game will hold your hand, experiment and see if you can attach rockets to a cow and see how far it will fly. Enjoy the game!    … Expand

    I think that Just Cause is better than Grand theft auto(this is just my opinion).I never played GTA and never will.I don't like games where you play as the bad guy.That's exactly the reason I prefer Just Cause.Rico is a hero.Well maybe he does kill some civilians here and there,but at least he saves the world.

    I don’t want to review this game because I have so so so love in this game and this is one of the best game and masterpiece installment in this franchise.

    1. Soundtrack Soundtrack is intense and it’s orchestral and arrangement that gain motivation to play this game. This is one of the best soundtrack in 2015 and I give it 20/10 for soundtrack. 2.

    2. Story This game is far the best and cohesive story in this franchise. JC1 and 2 didn’t improve Rico’s relationship but this game that have his old friend to save Medici. Dialogue is one of the less swearing words than any games. Story is so satisfying for me.

    3. Theme
    The strongest theme in the entire franchise. JC 2 is literally not better in it’s core theme. The theme is about freedom. This game completely show the freedom for Rico’s country. So I give it 20/10.

    4. Gameplay Gameplay is the same as JC2 with more improvement. JC2 is good but sometimes jarring and spinning camera. JC3 has better gameplay and satisfying traverse in open-world environments. I love this game and I give 10/10.

    5. Boss Fight This boss fight is so easy for pro and difficult for starters. But it is so so so rewarding and satisfying when you beat the boss fight. In personal, this boss fight is the most favorite thing in every boss fights.

    Awesome game. So far I'm 10 hrs into it and I've liberated the entire first massive area, which looks to be the same size as like 1/8th of the other massive island and 1/4 of the other one. So..... a little bit scary how massive the world is. Though as usual it's the same affair as with JC2. Shoot everything that is red.

So..... a little bit scary how massive the world is. Though as usual it's the same affair as with JC2. Shoot everything that is red. Blow it all up and watch in awe as everything explodes and collapses all over the place. It's more of a physics and explosions sand box with beautiful looking water and some sexy machines and weapons to be unlocked. The same infinite parachute and grappling hook are here, but now there's a wingsuit. And I am really addicted to doing all the wingsuit challenge courses. Story is one massive parody of gaming, itself, and silly movie plots. But what it delivers this well enough to entertain you. Definitely recommend it. Although I will point out that other people seem to be complaining about performance. I haven't had any issues on i7 4770K and 770GTX with 16GB ram and installed the game to SSD. Load times are ~10 seconds. In the entire 10 hrs I had 1 crash to desktop, but upon reloading the game there was an autosave right where I was so I lost no progress. I had to set LOD and Shadows to medium and get ~40-45 fps, with some slow downs when Heat hits Level 5 dipping to 30 fps. Hopefully they can improve a little bit as it feels like any lag is due to the online tracking of almost everything you do, highest altitude, most headshots, longest free fall, most kills with 1 grenade etc. and compares this to your friends.… Expand

    Stunning graphics and atmosphere. Very explosive gameplay. If you've played JC2 you'll know what to expect. It's an incredible sandbox that allows all sorts of weird creations and adventures. 9/10 would splode again.

    Ok, yes the launch was less than stellar. To those of you who are nvidia users make sure you get the latest driver. New driver took the game from broken to stable. I still get some frame rate slow down when there is a whole lot of explosions and physics damage going on, but only when the fit really hits the shan. So performance isn't terrible for me, just leaves a little bit to be desired.Ok, yes the launch was less than stellar. To those of you who are nvidia users make sure you get the latest driver.

    The game is awesome. I think it looks really good, map traversal is way more fun than in JC2. Vehicles leave something to be desired. I've been playing GTA lately and the cars and bikes are quite inferior. Not terrible once you get used to them, but not awesome. Now, what you can do with the cars is a different story.

    To those complaining about plot, and voice acting, you're missing the point of this game. I had the same issue the first time I picked up JC2. I put it right back down because the voice acting was so terrible, especially that indian(?) girl leader of that revolutionary group, omg I hated her so much. But whats true of all games is 10x more true with Just Cause, the plot is truly just a means to get you to go do some crazy action movie sequence. This game at its heart is a physics playground, and in that respect JC3 is very successful.

    One of the reviewers said it and I agree, you need to be able to come up with your own fun to enjoy this game. If you are a gamer who often finds themselves trying things, "I wonder what will happen if I do this", then this is the game for you, because chances are, this game will let you do it, and the results will be fantastic and funny.

    I think 8/10 is more correct because of the issues related above, but I'm kind of sick of every game I like getting mountains of 0s when they are clearly not 0 games, so I'm giving it 9.    … Expand

    Fantastic game with a gorgeous, vibrant world. JC3 is a worthy successor to JC2; the addition off the wingsuit was a great idea. Knocking a point for online login and occasional slowdowns/lockups (very infrequent now compared to launch). Overall though, well worth the money.

    This game is like GTA5 with more guns and explosions, mixed with Spiderman movement. The glitches thus far haven't been game-breaking in my experience and I think they'll work them out soon.

    This is my first game in the Just Cause series and I wasn't sure what to expect. I think you have to take the game for what it is, and that is basically a ridiculous amount of blowing crap up and completing tons of missions. The world is very large and there are a lot of things to do, and the more you play it the more you get in to the game.

The world is very large and there are a lot of things to do, and the more you play it the more you get in to the game.

    It doesn't have a well constructed story, but it makes up for that in terms of having an arsenal of guns, gear and vehicles to ensure that you spend hours on end just doing one more mission. Probably my favourite game of the year, due to the fact that you can simply pick up the game for a quick mission or 2, or spend several hours playing through the campaign.

    Finally your hardware needs to be relatively new to make sure this game runs smoothly. A lot of issues PC gamers have seem to be from running old gear and not checking the minimum requirements. I've had no issues with running the game on a GTX 980Ti as well as a GTX 970 both with Haswell chips.

    Great game and if you enjoy blowing up bases or grappling people to buildings, this is a must buy.    … Expand

    It boasts some great improvements over the previous game of the series, but does not evolve the formula in any significant way. It looks better and lets you glide in a wingsuit, but its scale is not surprising anymore. It lets you unleash wonderful chaos in unscripted skirmishes, but its story missions fail to enrich the experience. All the same it is my kind of game. I love playing with its systems, I appreciate the effort put into JC3 and I return to Medici from time to time for condensed doses of havoc. [01/2016, p.48]

    Just Cause 3 is a monument to excess. It’s Hot Shots. It’s Charlie Chaplin in The Dictator, if Charlie Chaplin had rocket-powered C4 in his boots. It’s that scene in Dr. Strangelove where Slim Pickens rides the nuke into Russia, except...well, no, it’s pretty much exactly that scene on repeat for 25-30 hours.
