    Enter JC3. Turn on the game, blow stuff up, cry laughing at the awesome freedom afforded to you.

    Thanks Avalanche. You know what you are good at and don't pretend to make this game something it isn't. It's good, stupid fun. And I've been waiting for this since JC2.

    Love the game. I didn't think of this game being repetitive at all. It's fun on the PS4 muck more than star-wars battlefront which i received a full refund and purchased this game. Very smart on my part. At least you don't get a half game and boring game play like most games. Keep up the good work Square Enix! This is a sleeper hit.

    I absolutely love the game. I feel as though it lives up to all of the hype. The story is great, the gameplay is great, I just overall love the game. It is a true sequel to Just Cause 2.

    This game is great. It is true to Just Cause 2's fun style, and any repetition is because people aren't seeing that this game has such an open physics model that allows you to beat stages in unlimited ways. If you choose to use the same strategy for every mission, it will be repetitive. It was never supposed to be a GTA level of detail in story, gameplay, or even complexity of missions.This game is great.

People seem to want to hold it to that standard, which isn't realistic. GTA needs to raise the bar of open world with every new release, this was never supposed to be that.
    The bugs aren't horrific, and people don't seem to understand that games/operating systems/software are released as a 'beta' these days and then patched.
    Load times aren't unbearably slow, but will seem so due to slow physical media disc drives and HDs, not to mention the complex game data & graphics. The PS4 is a 5400 rpm hard drive, upgrade it to a 7200 and this loads faster than GTA does now, better yet get a SSHD.
    This game is fun now, and will get lots of patches. Its beautiful to look at, and I haven't been let down.

    Just Cause 3 is one of the best open world games and best action game for PS4! Explosions look sensational with particles flying everywhere. Big world to play! This game is better than GTA V. 10 points!

    for the xbox one, at times the game can lag like SUPER hard. it also has a bit of a shallow progression system, but overall a very fun game. (would like to see the lag issue fixed up though)

    Quitando de lado su campaña que como siempre nunca tiene sentido por mas que lo intentan lo que este juego le salva, es su jugabilidad, su manera de poder hacer el cabra a tu antojo, es un jueog que recomiendo para entretenerse

    This is the best game ever!!! I bought with high expectations from the last game but this game not only got to my expectaion it exceeded it. There is just so much to do not including the epic DLC.

    The just cause series have gotten better with each game. Yes there's not much to it but its so much fun doing cool stunts, explosives and destruction. This game is like a cross between James bond, Red and the A team more leaning on the latter. if you like them then you'll probably like this. Its a game you switch off to and have pure gameplay fun. p.s love the intro song

    Just cause 3 it’s simply my favorite game of all time, it’s stunning has some great mechanics and probably the bests explosions in the history of video games. And it does run well in the ps4

    This game is very you can do just about anything you want!

    There are some problems with this game for example the missions can vary from amazing to terrible and the story isn't anything new or interesting.

    This is a great toy box of a game but it lacks in story and it's very repetitive.

    Look. This is a hoot.

    The writing isn't great. The voice acting seems like it was recorded without anyone in the same room. Sometimes when you set off a huge chain of explosions, the frame-rate dips a bit. Just think of it as slow-motion. But having said all that, the whole of the game is just plain goofy fun. It's not a game to obsess over, but rather the kind of thing to put on

    But having said all that, the whole of the game is just plain goofy fun. It's not a game to obsess over, but rather the kind of thing to put on when you don't want to worry about resource management or slow, plodding traversal. This game wants you to grapple onto an attack helicopter, kick out the pilot, blow up a bunch of conveniently red-colored explosive barrels and towers, jump out of the helicopter, free-fall to within a few feet of the ground, grapple to the ground without splattering into a bunch of giblets, and watch as flaming mayhem falls from the sky as you slow-walk away.

    It's a playground, and a damn good one at that. Great for a relaxing game session.

    Just Cause 3 creates a realistic nation with an oppressive government and then let's you right that wrong. There are however drawbacks to a world that's perhaps too realistic/ immersive. There are big open spaces that can be annoying to traverse. The cities are very similar looking which is also accurate to how must of earth is but it can also make them boring.

    Despite those

There are big open spaces that can be annoying to traverse. The cities are very similar looking which is also accurate to how must of earth is but it can also make them boring.

    Despite those limitations, it's an immensely satisfying experience. Every time I liberate a city or destroy a military base I feel a little bit closer to overthrowing the government. It's that kind of compelling game play that can make an afternoon vanish into thin air.

    My only real complaint is the online login. So far it doesn't seem to have any use other than showing me comparisons between some achievement I made and those of other players. But it has caused the game to pause several times while it attempts to reconnect. Minuscule benefit, significant inconvenience.

    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]
