    Just Cause 2 was even better than this. This installment is a low budget cash grab and not worth anyone's time.

    The framerate was low and loading times long on base PS4, but I still had lots of fun with the the game (which is most important) and graphics was excellent. I will surely replay it on PS5 where most annoying things will be no longer a problem.

    What a positive surprise this game was.
    I got this at PSN for 4 bucks, figure why not, I've never played any of the previous 2 games, but I'll try this. The player movement is so damn fun, you basically get your parachute, glider and grappling hook. With these 3, the combinations are endless. Recommended

    This game has so many dumb problems right from the start. To liberate outposts you have to destroy objects. Not just any objects or lots of objects, SPECIFIC objects. So you have to FIND them. How? oh yeh the devs didn't think of that - THERE IS NO MINIMAP!!! Why??? You have to press the touchpad to open the full map all the time. That's bafflingly idiotic design choice #1.

    Bafflingly moronic design choice #2: To get upgrades you have to challenges throughout the world. Everything you destroy gives you chaos points which are constantly popping up on the screen. What does that do? Nothing! Why don't they just have an exp system to get upgrades using these chaos points? That would make too much dam sense apparently! Do the stupid challenges instead.

    Also the loading times are really long and the controls are quite annoying with too many actions mapped to the same buttons. There is no zoom/lock/sights button because every button is already used.

    The random open world tethering and blowing things up and the rocket packs ets are fun but trying to do anything else in the game is a waste of time. (It goes without saying that the story is pointless)    … Expand

    Yes, the dialogue and plot is stupid, but how can you be mad at a game that takes itself as non-seriously as this one?

    Waiting an entire year to buy Just Cause 3 for $15 during PSN's black friday sale was a great decision because this game is not worth $60. Somehow the developers made this game less fun than Just Cause 2. The game has such a simple formula, how could they mess it up?

    First we should consider how Just Cause 3 is not much of an upgrade from Just Cause 2. The graphics are better yes, but    Waiting an entire year to buy Just Cause 3 for $15 during PSN's black friday sale was a great decision because this game is not worth $60. Somehow the developers made this game less fun than Just Cause 2. The game has such a simple formula, how could they mess it up?

    First we should consider how Just Cause 3 is not much of an upgrade from Just Cause 2. The graphics are better yes, but all current gen games look better than last gen games. The game does itself no favors by re-cycling not only buildings but also entire towns. Despite the power of the PS4, the destructible models remain limited to radar dishes, fuel tanks, and water towers. Some destroyed vehicles will split in two, like helicopters, and some destroyed vehicles are blacked out versions of the original, like all the other vehicles. Enemies have the same 360° binocular vision that they had in Just Cause 2. This time, however, if you manage to stay out of sight on a rooftop for 30 seconds they can't find you. A.I. in general is dumb. Enemies will bomb their own sites and shoot rockets at their own vehicles if you are in close proximity. It used to be that you could hijack a helicopter and wreak havoc. Now when you grapple onto a helicopter, all enemy units will destroy it within seconds. Enemy fire and explosions can be so intense that I often had no idea why I was dying.

    The story missions in Just Cause 3 are ok. You pal around with a guy who says "It's a me, Mario", a joke that was presented better in Assassin's Creed 2. Mario is not much of a revolutionary fighter, and everything is up to the player character to save the day. Most missions make use of hijacking vehicles and otherwise using your cable to stop vehicles, open doors, or reach high places like Spider-Man. Side note: there are tons of weapons in the game but I cannot see why I would use them when the cable, rocket launcher, and machine gun are so effective from the start. Further side note: why would I ever order a vehicle for delivery when the game is also littered with all kinds of vehicles. The mission structure at times seems broken. One missions tells you to grab a vehicle. I start heading to the nearest military base to grab a tank and the game tells me I am going to far away form the objective. Too far away? In an open world game? Heresy.

    The side missions in the game are little more than challenge modes. Sometimes challenges are fun like in Saints Row III. Sometimes they are a boring waste of time, as they are in Just Cause 3. One side mission has the player character drive a boat to explode-able objects, switch to the gunner seat, and then blow up the object from a stationary position. So fun. Last side note, finding all the objects you need to destroy can be a real fun killer. Speaking of fun killers, the game gives you three remotely triggered explosives. You cannot zip around town like Spider-Man, attach explosives to everything, and then destroy it all from safety. No, you can only destroy three things from safety and then you have to go back and attach explosives to three more things. The developers had no idea what makes this game fun.

    So all in all, Just Cause 3 is a pretty meh and repetitive experience. It's too bad because Just Cause 2 was one of my favorite games last gen. Just another uninspired sequel that is making the current generation one of the worst generations in gaming history.    … Expand

    Even on a huge sale, this game is a letdown. Whilst it can be seriously funny at times, it can also be a rage inducing and frustrating hulk of a game that is barely good enough to be considered a Just Cause game.

    Sadly, this game is a mere shell of its forming self. Don't get me wrong, I loved the JC series since the original and I had high hopes for JC3 and I would have pre-ordered it myself if it wasn't for all the negative reviews, and to be honest - it really does warrent a negative and a not recommended review simply because of all the major bugs and issues which plague this otherwise *fun* game - My tip to Avalanche Studios is to go back and play JC2 and look what made that fun, then repeat the process because what you've done to JC3 clearly doesn't work. All you need to know is basically Just Cause 3....is just like Just Cause 2, just better graphics but all the fun sucked out of it and replaced with a dull, boring and vastly unfair gameplay that seemingly resembles a just cause game.

    The major problems is the fact the game does not play like the previous JC games, its more or less just an unfair and buggy shooter, the enemy AI is so badly programmed that its just sheer lazy - its got all the trademarks of just horrible programming, they'll shoot you with near 100% accuracy even flying at high speed with the wingsuit - they'll spawn behind you constantly and don't get me started about the helicopters and warships.

    Hijacking was one of the fun, and major elements to the previous games - thats been thrown completely out of the window and made USELESS here, try to hijack and enemy helicopter and 9 out of 10 times, it'll end in death as either the pilot will seamingly commit suicuide by flying into the ground or some other stupid method to kill you, or the "2nd" Helicopter will fire on the one your trying to hijack and again, often destroying it (and you) in the process - lets not forget, the enemies have a strange 90* degree firing arc for some stupid reason as well, because I've seen them facing one direction and rockets flying from them at an angle...go figure? Then, throw in enemy ships that are just insanely deadly into the mix..basically have to accept the fact they are going to kill you.

    The driving mechanics are sluggish, especially on motorcycles. The boats have issues too, especially with Rico walking at a snails pace onboard them. Even the trademark tethering system isn't without some issues, often causing either bugs or comical incidents.

    Avalanche removed many features that made Just Cause 2 a better game, such as the minimap - this was an important feature and you could actually see the enemies being rallied against you, so you had at least some time to mount a defence, or plan your attack better - this is just an unfair run and gun affair without any cover system, because frankly - the way the enemies have a near 100% accuracy against you...you need it. Having enemies literally spawn just out of view...nearly constantly ruins the immersion and really makes the gameplay needless more difficult and frustrating especially once your chain stunned by shotgun guys, or being bombarded by helicopter or tanks.

    Sadly put; If your interested in the Just Cause series, and never played any- Do yourself a favor and pick up Just Cause 2 sure, the graphics are obviously inferior, but the game is vastly better in all departments over this. This is basically almost a carbon copy just half as good as the previous game.

    Finally, this is just a disappointing game that needed alot of balancing and bug fixes which it never got, looking at the metacritic reviews and steam forum complaints really only re-inforced this negative review, I'm glad I only paid $20 for the XL edition because, honestly - to me thats about how much its worth. This game needs balancing to be good, enemy accuracy needs to be lowered, the heat needs to be slower to build - the spawn rate needs to be lowered, especially on helicopters and tanks, and they need to have a spawn rate thats alot further from the player inside of being 'behind' the player, so they can get essentially free hits on you.

    Just Cause 4 was my introduction to Avalanche Studios open world explode-athon series and after finishing it I felt somewhat obligated to play Just Cause 3.

What immediately surprised me was that Just Cause 3's graphics were better - which didn't make a whole lot of sense because sequels are meant to have better graphics than the games that came before them.

    On the gameplay front JC3 is the definition of a mixed bag: It's destruction physics are somewhat impressive and you're incentivised to blow a lot of stuff up, but that's about it when it comes to variety. JC3's world looks interesting, but is ultimately bland and not much fun to explore. Locations in the world also feel copy-and-pasted and are merely places where you blow up all the conveniently red labelled objects that require destroying so you can 'liberate' that area. Unfortunately JC3 leans too heavily on dotting its map with hundreds of locations that have similarly repetitive objectives, making its world feel hollow and generic. What really contributes to this hollow feeling is that NPC's are virtually mindless inhabitants who simply occupy places so that way you don't feel lonely when exploring or discovering new towns.

    The story is also laughably bad (though not as bad as JC4 which just felt downright aimless and trivial). Rico Rodriguez is just terrible - his only means of strategy is to simply 'blow stuff up' and 'shoot his way to victory' all the while defying the laws of physics and reality through sheer dumb luck and shoddy writing. The supporting cast of characters is also no better, proving to be even more questionable than the main protagonist. The mission objective design is also annoying and archaic, and more often than not I would have to rely on pure luck to complete a mission because of how poorly the missions were written and implemented. This made getting through the main campaign feel like a chore instead of a fun explosion filled extravaganza.

    Combat is the only thing worth caring about in JC3 and even that comes with some serious caveats. Shooting feels stiff and imprecise, and most weapons feel underpowered. Another frustration comes from the fact that reinforcements just keep spawning endlessly, meaning that defeat comes from simply being overwhelmed (which is always a cheap tactic in my view).

    I spent roughly 10 hours with Just Cause 3 before deciding to call it quits. Even though I had plenty of things left to do, I couldn't be bothered doing all of them as I would have simply been repeating the same things that I had done in those 10 hours and nothing more. The truth is that real fun occurs when there are a variety of interesting, compelling and entertaining activities available to partake in instead of simply dressing up duplicates of the same activity so the only level of distinction is merely based upon their appearance.    … Expand

    Just Cause 3 is an absolute blast to play, and some of the scenery is impressive, and the gunplay is solid,too. But everything else fails miserably. The main story is as interesting as a brick wall, and the side quests get very repetitive after a while. Overall, JC3 is a decent game, but nothing special.

    This game has just as much mayhem as the second one as well as another huge open world. It also has some cool new tricks up its sleeve like the wing suit and pulling two things into each other with tethers. However, the gameplay is too much of the same and never gripped me the way the second entry did when I played it a few years back. Another sub-par story and more stuff to explode hardlyThis game has just as much mayhem as the second one as well as another huge open world. It also has some cool new tricks up its sleeve like the wing suit and pulling two things into each other with tethers. However, the gameplay is too much of the same and never gripped me the way the second entry did when I played it a few years back. Another sub-par story and more stuff to explode hardly counts as a full-on sequel (and its progression system is not ideal). Ultimately, if you liked the second game (or if you're an action fan in general) you'll probably like this game but don't expect to be blown away (no pun intended) this time around.… Expand

    Same as the last unfortunately. Just blow up stuff. Forgettable story mode and everything else. The wing suit was pretty cool though. This is Michael Bay the game.

    Game had great potential, and it looks gorgeous at time, but the sluggish mission which has to do with the main story is just right down awful. In a game where destruction is a virtue, the game literally forces you to be very careful, and with the AI being pretty dumb it will make for hours of repetitive gameplay (which kinda ruins the experience).

    If you are feeling lazy and just want to have a good time and blow stuff up, that this is the game for you my friend. A boring main character and a uninteresting main story are the price to pay for a really fun shooter.

    I had a decent amount of fun for the first 5 or so hours of the game. But as the game continues it starts to show its repetitive nature. Plus the frame rate was just abysmal at times.

    For all its booms and bangs, Just Cause 3 is never quite the unrestrained fun-maker it threatens to be. Whenever Rodriguez dons his wingsuit, however, it positively soars. [Jan 2016, p.88]

    Just Cause 3 is one of the most satisfying experiences of 2015.
