    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.

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.

The Wing gliding is insanely difficult to even master the basic mechanics of it without face planting to your death a hundred times over, and the vehicles you use during races have such sensitive suspension hitting a small rock can send you air born. Don't expect a deep, and fulling story either as the game's main focus is just destroying things. Ultimately this could've been a much more user friendly game if there were a dozen different controller schemes you need to remember for every type of vehicle used in the game in addition to your new grapple, wing glider and using the parachute. So its a decent game with overly complicated controls.… Expand

    Its incredibly repeditive, and the 60fps basic framerate drops severely whenever theres lots of explosions. The system 4.00 upgrade did improve the framerate heaps, but by then i had almost finished the game.

    Missions are completely blah, gameplay is identical to just cause 2, the freedom of movement you get with grapple / chute / wingsuit is still the best part of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first game I've played in a while that feels like a game. It is oodles of fun to pick up and relax with, for there are virtually no limits. Surprisingly enough, I like this game more than JC2. Just Cause 2 was great, but had problems with some repetitive missions, a terrible problem with de-spawning vehicles that you order, and a pretty much useless grapple tether that broke whenever you tried to pull something (at least in the PS3 version) but other than that, JC2 was a blast to play with a huge, beautiful world and loads of stuff to blow up. Just Cause 3 does that and more. JC3 is innovative over JC2 in it's own right, for JC3 has introduced us to the Wingsuit, which is a blast to play with, and the multiple grapple tethers with retract function allows for limitless possibilities for causing chaos. The story isn't anything special, in fact, its a little worse than Just Cause 2, but by no means does the story bog down the experience. People new to the JC series need to understand that you should go in expecting a game, not a cinematic, immersive story. Gamers and critics alike who write the game off as mediocre because of a bad story have little imagination when it comes to games, and need to get through any game with a strong story. I also see some people saying that the world isn't detailed, which is completely false. JC3's map has so much more depth to it than JC2. There are numerous cliffs and caves, and huge mountains to explore. Here in JC3, you don't need a story, all you need is your parachute and wingsuit, unlimited C4, varied and creative weapons, and explosions to have a great time as you're dropped into this massive, beautiful map.

    Most people's complaints about this game other than the story stem from the games performance and repetitive nature, which I disagree with. My PS4 hasn't had much trouble with this game, and even though it lags when a huge explosion is set off, that lag clears soon enough as to not hinder your fun. I have never had massive frame rate drops when I'm simply flying around the world, and even though the frame rate stumbles sometimes, it doesn't detract from my experience.
    Secondly, people say the game is repetitive, which I disagree with. The amount of tools at your disposal is akin to Metal Gear Solid 5, you can approach any situation any way you want to, except for stealth, and blow everything up in unique and creative ways. The grapple's retract function really lets you play with the physics, and it's time like this when the game is at it's best. I mean, come on! You can attach two soldiers to each other and make them hug! You can get a gun that shoots nukes! The over-the-top absurdity present in JC3 is matched by it's total freedom and limitless ways to cause chaos and explore. Buy this game, you will have a good time. I have played for about 40 hours as of now, and I'm still having a blast.

    Or maybe I like this game because blowing **** up never gets old to me. Whatever.    … Expand

    Just Cause 3 is the ultimate sandbox game for sandbox game fans. An incredibly huge map filled with tons of things just waiting for your explosive touch.

Once you're at one of these settlements, the choice is yours as to how you goJust Cause 3 is the ultimate sandbox game for sandbox game fans. An incredibly huge map filled with tons of things just waiting for your explosive touch. The draw distance is fantastic, as you can see glimpses of settlements and military bases from way off in the distance. Anything you can see you can go to. Once you're at one of these settlements, the choice is yours as to how you go about bringing down the enemy encampments. You can sneak around, using your mystical grappling tether to pull objects down. You can quickly dart from object to object, planting explosives as you go. You can hijack a helicopter or tank and laugh at the puny reinforcements who try and stop you afterwards as you mow down everything in your path. I personally found the planted explosives route the best, as you have unlimited amounts of them from the start of the game and almost every object can be destroyed with 1 or 2 bombs planted on them.

    Unfortunately the game's biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness. The framerate begins to chug as soon as the explosions start, and the more simultaneous explosions you set off the lower the framerate will dip. The game is a wonder to look at, make no mistake, but the beauty is only skin deep. The flaws become apparent when you look closer.

    Just Cause 3 gives you a multitude of options to traverse it's gigantic map. You have your trusty grappling hook, unlimited parachutes, and a wingsuit all at your disposal. The game also gives you cars, motorcycles, boats, jets, and helicopters for you to travel with if you so choose. Unfortunately most of the vehicles handle terribly, with the motorcycles being the biggest offender. There's always a delay when attempting a turn, so it's all too common to run off road or into other objects. Fortunately however, the grapple/parachute/wingsuit combo is so efficient at quickly moving across the map, you literally never need to hop in a car or bike unless the game forces you to for a mission. The quickest, most efficient, and downright funniest way to stop Rico when he's wingsuiting is to simply crash headfirst into the nearest wall and watch Rico ragdoll, holding his head while he contemplates how many brain cells he just lost. The ragdolling becomes far less humorous however when you are in a firefight and get hit with an explosion. Rico will then lie on his fat ass for about 5 seconds thinking about pudding, while 1000 enemies take potshots at him.

    The game does have a story, but it's paper thin and basically an excuse to blow more stuff up, often stuff that you can't otherwise access. There are also random encounters throughout the game that have you do all sorts of activities ranging from freeing a rebel who's been taken hostage and fighting off his kidnappers to... opening a locked gate. Yes, seriously. The most interesting part of the story comes at the end of the game as you realize just who Rico Rodriguez really is. You've been told all along that he's fighting for the freedom of Medici, to pry the country from the clutches of the evil dictator Di Ravello and to push out all his military encampments. Yet as you supposedly free more and more areas you realize that nothing has really changed. All the armored vehicles, the armed guards, the watch towers, they're all still there just with a different logo on them. Rico will kill fellow rebels and civilians without any remorse if they're in the way of his goal. You slowly begin to realize that Rico is actually just another dictator with the same lust for power as Di Ravello.

    Just Cause 3 takes sandbox games to a whole nother level. The map is gigantic, is fun to traverse, and is filled to the brim with things to blow up and enemies to take down. Just don't go in expecting much more than that, and pretend that the framerate dips are really just the game going into slow motion to highlight the cool explosions, and you'll come out of the experience with all smiles.    … Expand

    Wow. This game sure is innovative. I always thought that the idea of a sequel was to add MORE things to the original, but that just shows how narrow minded I am, it seems.

The story is longer,    Wow. This game sure is innovative. I always thought that the idea of a sequel was to add MORE things to the original, but that just shows how narrow minded I am, it seems.

    Just Cause 3 is a disappointment in every single way. It's nowhere near what was achieved last generation with Just Cause 2 in every regard save for story, which isn't even what we're here for.

    The story is longer, sure, but it's nothing really substantial. They tried to make it more in-depth than 1 or 2, which is a misstep since we aren't here for the story. We're here to blow things up. The story isn't even that good, anyway.

    Speaking of blowing things up, the graphics and physics have been upgraded significantly at the cost of everything else. Sure, there are new ways to blow things up and cause havoc, but there are less things to blow up now. The shooting controls are wonky and garbage, too.

    The grappling hook got an upgrade, allowing you to pull two object together which is good for either slamming helicopters into the dirt or making a man realize his passionate and irresistible love for a brick wall, and you get a wingsuit now, which is probably the best addition to the game ever. Soaring around through the skies and low to the ground, using my grappling hook to pull myself along and propel myself at break-neck speeds straight into a wall is always lots of fun, and beats the hell out of the parachute grapple system in Just Cause 2. It just sucks that there's literally nothing to do with it.

    The in-game map is about half the size of Just Cause 2's, and with no variation. In Just Cause 2 you'd have suburbs, cities, swamps, marshes, grasslands, forests and jungles, tundras, mountains, deserts. Basically every biome you can think of. In Just Cause 3 you have farmland and... more farmland. That's actually the only thing you got. No different settings and no unique locations. Just Italian farmland and I guess one metropolitan area that's about a 6th the size of the one in Just Cause 2.

    Vehicles aren't that special, either. Helicopters, planes, cars, boats, whatever. Would it kill you to give me a submarine? This is literally the one thing sandbox games are missing now. I can't think of a single sandbox game with a submarine except for Mercenaries 2 where you'd drive a tank backwards and it'd let you drive it underwater. Also, I have no idea how they managed it, but they made motorcycles control even worse in this game. I didn't even think that was possible. There's a good half second delay between you turning and the thing actually turning, and it makes the things completely unusable.

    Getting rid of the annoying redneck black market guy was a good idea, since finally you don't need to listen to him blabber on about his opinions on foreign policy and how he really, REALLY likes Mexicans but thinks they're ruining the country, added with a cutscene of him arriving then leaving. That was appreciated, and the whole process is expedited by allowing you to select multiple items to drop at once, and there isn't a huge cutscene for it either. You just hit the menu, order what you want, throw a beacon and in seconds, BOOM, package delivered. It's even faster than Amazon Prime, which is great.

    Back to bashing it. DRM is a new innovative addition to Just Cause 3. The game requires you to connect to some stupid servers so you can constantly be harassed with in-game notifications telling you that XxStuPiDHackINGA**wiPE420blaZEitSniPERPwnEr69xX beat your score in who the god damn motherf*** even cares. You can't even turn them off, either. There's no option for it. You can try to start the game in offline mode, but get ready to stay signed off for your entire play session, because if you think you can sneak past it by logging back on after you start the game, think again. The game will actually stop you mid-game in order to connect to the servers, something that oftentimes doesn't even work, and even when it does it takes about 5 whole minutes to actually connect. Nobody asked for this. Not one person on this planet asked for this DRM bulls***, but they just crammed it in for no reason just to piss everyone off.

    Overall, however, the game is disappointing and lackluster, with none of the fun and glee of its predecessor, choosing instead to boldly innovate in the daring field of being more boring and homogeneous. It's tiring, monotonous, and will not keep you invested after the game's end. I can't even guarantee it'll keep you invested up to that point, either.

    I played this game, maybe even had fun with it while I did, but when I sat back down after the whole thing was over, I saw no reason to ever go back to it, and all its glaring faults cover up almost everything this game does right.    … Expand

    Now, on with the review.

    Just cause 3 is a wonderful edition to the series as it fixes various problems that made just cause 2 almost unbearable. One of my biggest gripes with just cause 2 was always how repetitive the process of [Enter village] > [Kill enemies and destroy chaos objects] > [Find collectibles] was. All villages were practically the same and there were far too many. The balance between doing missions and discovering new locations was completely tipped to one side constantly and it made playing the game a chore after a while. Let it be said that i did beat the main story of Just Cause 2 and i beat most of the other missions in the game as well, but i still hadn't completed the game 50% at that point and there was literally nothing else to do but find collectibles and discover villages.

    Now where just cause 2 fails in that regard, Just Cause 3 shines like a newly born sun.
    This game perfectly balances the discovery/collectible hunting with the in game missions and the challenges are such a welcome addition I'm actually willing to forgive this games framerate issues.
    In just Cause 2, you get weapons and vehicles by purchasing them with money made through destruction and completing missions. In Just Cause 3 there is no money, instead you get access to something called a 'rebel drop' and a limited number of flares (which are used to summon the rebel drops) which you can restock from military bases once you've conquered them. These rebel drops will allow you to summon any of the vehicles or weapons in the game as long as you've completed the necessary requirement for unlocking them (such as conquering certain military bases or doing certain missions or in some cases, finding all collectibles in a region). This is (in my opinion) a far better method of obtaining gear and vehicles than the currency system in the 2nd game.

    To make up for a lack of discoverable locations this game introduces challenges into the mix from which you receive 1 to 5 'gears' for 'gear mods' (explained below) based on your score/time in the particular challenge. Challenges range from air, sea and vehicle racing to destruction and shooting gallery. All are unique and offer actual challenge.
    The result of your hard work in these challenges earns you gears, which will unlock 'gear mods' once a specific amount of gears are gotten in there relative challenge. Gear mods are another fantastic edition to this series, as they give you a real sense of achievement and progression as you complete each challenge and unlock more upgrades for your characters abilities.
    Almost every single tool at your disposal has gear mods, be it vehicles or your own tether and bombs.
    This is by far one of my favourite editions to the franchise.

    The story and characters in this game are absolutely wonderful and memorable and the dialogue is just as cheesy as it has always been in these games. Di Ravello is a great villain and his tapes (which are collectibles scattered all over the map) are some of the creepiest things I've listened to. Rico is a great protagonist as he always is, and Sheldon is just as crazy as always. There are plenty of other great characters in this game that i wont spend the next 1000 words talking about.

    The amount of features this game adds as well as the many it has fixed from its predecessors is beyond incredible and speaks to the level of dedication that Avalanche went to for it's community to make this the best game it could be for them.

    I have had a lot of fun with this game so far and From what I have seen and played, I would honestly be doing the creators a disservice if I gave this game less than a 7. A feel an 8 perfectly represents my personal opinion of this game as I see it, so there it is.    … Expand

    I'm not normally into western "ooh big map realistic graphics shooting people driving cars hell yeah bro dude this is slamming" games, but every once in a while there is one of these games that I do like, and JC3 was one of them...for like 3 hours.

    Yes, controlling the character is fun, but the game mostly revolves around freeing towns and provinces by destroying every object in it that promotes the dictator who is the main villain and/or his army. But guess what, every town is pretty much the same thing but the stuff you gotta blow up is positioned differently. Yes, it gets very repetitive very quickly.
    My little brother has been playing the game for hours and hours daily, freeing these towns and he isn't even halfway through the game. That is how long it drags on.

    The story missions are also pretty generic, mostly escort missions and time-limited fetch missions, the story is generic action movie stuff, the characters are pretty shallow. The map is insanely enormous but mostly empty with optional collectibles, but honestly, it's like looking for a marble in the desert.

    The framerate. OH BOY, THE FRAMERATE! I don't get why western developers force their games to look super realistic at the cost of framerate and proper running. The motion blur literally looks like someone is throwing sand in your eyes, and every time there's an explosion nearby the game just becomes a slow-motion laggy mess. And instead of fixing the actual game they spat out DLC. Gotta get that money, yo!

    The game IS fun to mess around in. That's the only reason I'm keeping the review on mixed. I still turn it on from time to time for dumb fun, but I cannot stress this enough, it is not worth what it costs. Do not pay full price for it. I got it for free with PS+ and I'm happy I did.    … Expand

    Just Cause 3 is a very frustrating experience, in the sense that I should like it much more than I do. My biggest gripes with open-world games are their focus on story at the cost of gameplay.

My biggest gripes with open-world games are their focus on story at the cost of gameplay. A very nice example of this is the Witcher 3's story, which, because it is so emotionally driven, requires constant attention. If the player decides they want to explore the world more or put more focus on the side content of the game instead of following the main quest for the majority of their playtime, the pacing of the story is broken and the magic is ruined. No matter how good that side content is, the story and main quest is ruined because the sense of emergency and realism is ruined. On the other hand, if they player decides to follow the story and ignore most of the side content, they will be unprepared for the more difficult moments of the story, and as a result their experience will contain a lot of harsh difficulty spikes. Furthermore, their experience will be a very limited one, as they are only following this one path in a sea of branching paths. In my opinion, the best open-world games purposefully create an environment where anything the player does feels like the right thing to be doing. Everything feeds into the experience instead of being their own separate entities. That is why, despite the universal criticism of it, I desperately wanted to like Just Cause 3, and in some ways I do. I like the amount of freedom the player is given from the very beginning of the game despite the fact that not everything is unlocked, which gave me the impression that this game was confident in its world for entertainment, and that gave me hope that the game would use its environment and its world to always keep things fresh. I like the movement mechanics, because the variety of ways to traverse the world allowed familiar areas to feel fresh. The movement on the ground, by contrast, feels restrictive and stiff by comparison. For example, it's weird that the game doesn't allow Rico to scope. I get that it was going for the 'arcade-style shooter vibe, but then why do the guns all have limited ammo? If their ammo was infinite, but the reload times were made more extensive, I may have overlooked this, but to me this minor flaw is a little jarring. The explosion effects are obviously pretty, if only because they're so over the top. The loading screens start acceptably, as they never break the flow to an unforgivable extent and mostly stay below forty-five seconds each, however they seem to increase in time throughout the game, and by the end go for a minute and a half. Another persistent flaw is how unpolished the game feels. In thirty hours, this game crashed about seven times, each of which signaled the end of a play session for me, which brings me to the most egregious part of the game: it cannot keep my attention. Despite the fun superhero-esque movement controls and expanse of beautiful fields, everything in this game is exactly what has already been seen. The environments are very bare in terms of variation, ninety percent of the environments are fields and snowy mountains. Sometimes the layout of the environment changes, which can really keep the game fresh, but that is all the game does to demonstrate its varied locals. Compare this to Horizon: Zero Dawn or Breath of the Wild. In both of these games there were a variety of environments, each with their own effects, enemies, and hazards. In Just Cause 3, there's no purpose in exploring because all there is to find is enemy camps and more fields. Despite the initial promise of an open-world game with focus on the world itself, exploring gets dull very fast. There's nothing to find and nothing but repetitive missions to do. This would be excusable if the main story was fun to follow, but almost every single mission ends up using the same mechanics, and instead of using the wingsuit, most of the missions use either the mediocre driving controls, or the simplistic shooting mechanics. Despite the fun that can be had through grappling up mountains or soaring through the skies, Just Cause 3 tries to place its focus on a world without variety, and as a result the whole game lacks variety as well, so I'm going to give Just Cause 3 a 4 out of 10.… Expand

But it just offers you endless possibilities, and an infinite amount of things to do. What was the last game that showed you an enormous military base, and casually says, "Go and destroy that!" ? Just Cause 3 also offers you many ways. Do you want to call in an airstrike? Do you want to have a fighter jet dropped off to you at the push of a button, and then bomb it from above? Do you want to enter the base and plant C4 everywhere and detonate them? Or do you want to blow it up from a distance without even stepping foot inside the base at all? The choice is yours. Also, you will never see a copied and pasted military base in Just Cause 3. It's also very easy to get lost in the world of Just Cause 3, and how often does that happen in game worlds? Not very often. Just Cause 3's world is vast. INCREDIBLY vast. Although it's a bit shallow, lifeless, and empty, it's very, very varied. One minute, you could be in icy mountains, the next you could be in an arid desert, the next you could be in a forest, the next you could be at the bottom of the sea. The world is also limitless. Even right from the start, you can explore the entire map. No invisible walls, no boundaries, just a vast, limitless world of 400 square miles, waiting to be explored. Exploring is also fun, with the help of the wingsuit and grappling hook. The wingsuit and grappling hook combination has real physics and momentum, and with the right type of terrain, you can cover massive distances very quickly. Just Cause 3 is a must-play this generation. It's an explosive sandbox playground. Just Cause 3's downsides (mediocre storyline and narrative, bad writing, voice acting, sub-par graphics, lack of attention to detail) are outweighed by its upsides.… Expand

    The story is just a random epic win over the bad guys. So just meh...

    I missed some stealth options when it comes to free cities or other settlements. Gunfights are not fun, and most time is about running away to recover. There is no health bar and you have regeneration, which makes the game very easy. Driving is kind of boring.

    I’ll write right away, I liked the game - the open world, explosions, a personal way of transportation (cat, wingsuit), a relatively beautiful world and I liked DiRavello's diaries. In the forest, you can now ride a car, unlike the 2 part of the game, where in the forest one minecraft and even a motorcycle could not ride.

    But I can be objective and think soberly.
    Awful optimization. Drop in frame rate. Brakes with a large number of objects (vehicles, corpses, weapons, etc.).
    The enemy’s intelligence has not changed since the second part of the game - stupid, taking in numbers and VERY accurate in shooting for turrets on ships.
    The enemy appears behind you suddenly when you call for reinforcements.
    Sometimes you drive a tank or a helicopter, your health is in order. And then bang, it’s unknown who kills you with 1 shot through the armor.
    As in the second part, pumping for show. And there are no modifiers for greater survivability. Only one to fall from a height. No armor, no health. You cannot feel yourself as a terminator.
    Flight control is inconvenient. But motorcycles are masochism - just horror motorcycle control.
    Replenishment of the air safety is possible only at your death or the start of the game. Weapon racks give ammunition only for what is in them. It is especially painful if you like to use sniper rifles. Mostly assault rifles and rockets with grenades.
    Trophies for platinum were made by sadists.
    The main plot is nonsense, as usual for this series.
    In the tasks, do everything yourself, the rebels will not lift a finger. When capturing the bases, the reinforcements of the rebels is a kindergarten - and open the gates for them, turn off the rockets, and raise the bridges ...
    Random assignments appeared (save the rebels, pour gasoline, get smuggled goods, etc.). Only the same gasoline usually appears on the road and it’s not uncommon, while you drag the car to a gas station, someone knocks down the owner of the car.
    For some reason, only the supply machines have jumps and nitro. But there are no rebel cars at the bases and vehicles next to which you are standing at the start of the game. It is necessary to request transport separately each time, if nitro is needed.
    If you didn’t play in the last part, then you may never know that you can get into an SUV, give a hoot and you will go unoccupied rebels. By the way, besides the diaries, I also liked the stories of fellow travelers.
    Sometimes your body falls for too long, tumbles, rolls, rolls over and the enemy crowd manages to shoot you in these 10-30 seconds.

If you are not good at a game do not give it a review.

    The wingsuit has a learning curve for a little while,but i guarantee you give it a few hours and you will be gliding across the air like Peter pan. in the early stages it is a little simple yet warms you up to the mechanics with the wingsuit. when you start unlocking upgrades for it, it feels amazing and i love this addition. you can easily glide around the whole map using the wingsuit without ever touching the ground with enough time put into mastering the wingsuit system.

    While the story isnt the best,the introduction to the wingsuit and grappling hook was very nice and a very memorable moment when you finally get your feet wet. Explosions,gliding,tethering multiple things together and just causing chaos with even being able to have a nuke launcher at your disposal. gliding around while blowing things up never gets old and how fluid the wingsuit system is when mastered feel amazing.

    The story could use some work as it doesnt really feel like enough was put into it,it is not glitchy either. i have the original ps4 and i ran this just fine with frame rate drops from time to time but that was the worst of it from my experience. People who put alot of time and effort into this game will feel very rewarded with its mastering of mechanics.

    Some negatives. It feels as if we can do so much more with the grapple system it feels somewhat limited, having small features like having it top vehicles when tethered from opposite sides or even turning it into a wire that you can walk across would have been amazing to include. The flare system could use some work as having to wait 30min or more to call another vehicle is a little annoying, if chaos was a currency like the 2 where you could buy vehicles or even take the flare time off by paying chaos of some sort would have been a nice addition to make things more immersive and more of a incentive to blow things up. The weapon system is ok but droping a weapon and replacing it by accident can mean you lose that gun forever,especially if its a unique gun. We need more of a incentive for vehicles as well, with the wingsuit system being so fluid and fast you dont really feel like using vehicles unless its to have fun with them with the tether system or with explosions ( which may have been the reason )

    add coop or multiplayer in this game and it would increase the fun factor by a unbelievable scale.    … Expand

Con una sensacion de libertad extraordinaria, puedes usar el mítico gancho de rico para llegar a casi cualquier parte, y al hacer ciertas mejoras básicas, te conviertes en el dueño de los cielos.

    Técnicamente cumple bien, no es de lo mejor del catalogo, pero tiene unas texturas decentes y en algunas ocasiones pinta unas escenas francamente bonitas.
    Las únicas cosas que podría reprocharle son el sistema de apuntado y algunos bajones de frame rate en explosiones puntuales.

    Este juego no es pretencioso. No te promete una experiencia cinematográfica y es ahí donde justamente acierta, el juego busca divertir y lo logra.    … Expand

    Overall great experience. The new Wingsuit mechanics are fun. The story is great. The only downsides are the lack of side missions and mediocre gunplay

    El juego tiene una trama sencilla, pero lo que hace ll hace bien? Quieres destrozar cosas y disparar y llevar todo tipo de vehiculos? Es tu juego.

    Начал знакомство с серией с Just Cause 2 на PC. Начитался отзывов на первую часть и решил попробовать. Скажу честно от изрыгания рвотных масс меня спас пустой желудок? На столько корявого геймплея я не видел. Управление наверно делали не для рук, а для ног.
    Картинка, ну я скажу на PS2 графон был лучше. Короче полное говно!

    Картинка, ну я скажу на PS2 графон был лучше. Короче полное говно!
    Вот вышла третья часть, и ........ я решил дать игре второй шанс на PS4. Купил её за 500 рублей. Не разорюсь.
    Ну, что я скажу?
    Графон подтянули до уровня PS3 2006 года. При этом игра умудряется тормозить. Падение фпс доходит до 10 кадров/с, что делает весьма раздражающим прохождение, в котором все летит и взрывается! Притом при всём, игра устанавливается часов 10 не меньше! Сама игра и обновление ставится часа 2, после чего игру можно запустить, но. Побегать ты можешь только по тестовой площадке без врагов. Загрузка продолжается уже внутри самой игры, часов 7-8. И только после этого можно играть в сюжет.
    Управление немножко улучшили, хотя бы можно стало куда-либо попасть крюком или из оружия.
    Всё остальное осталось без изменений.
    Сюжет......его нет. Летай, ломай, убивай, в общем, делай жизнь простых людей невыносимой. В конце позволят убить мужука в фуражке! Кульминация вау!
    Признаюсь я проходил игру в течение 18!!! месяцев!
    Потому, что поиграв в неё 2 часа хочется разбить геймпадом телевизор или себе лоб. Проще удалить. Проходит месяц, два, Doom, Prey, думаешь ну чем ещё время убить и вспоминаешь Just Cause 3. Через 2 часа, её удаляешь!
    Ещё хочу сказать одну вещь. Хотел бы лично поглядеть, как создатели игры проходят, весело и бодро, миссии на истребителях! Может у них по 8 пальцев на руках? Истребитель на геймпаде это мука. Зачем то разрабы иногда насильно заставляют тебя летать на самолёте. Наверное, считают это крутой фишкой!
    Что самое интересное со всех сторон игра крайне бюджетная, но все три части которые я видел полностью озвучены по-русски на всех платформах. Я всегда за полную локализацию, но. Эта игра ничего бы не потеряла с одними субтитрами, диалоги убоги и ничего ценного в себе не несут. Ведь есть так много великолепных игр нуждающихся в полной локализации. Мало того куча первоклассных игр не имеет даже субтитров! Вот бы усердие локализаторов Just Cause направить в нужное русло!:)
    Хочу сказать честно игра шлак. Даже на проходняк не тянет. Проходняк проходится быстро и забывается. Это же выворот пальцев и мозгов, забыть долго не получится как ночной кошмар!    … Expand

    Un divertido juego que se centra en la destrucción . El sistema de disparo no es innovador y la historia es predecible y monótona , pero es muy divertido :)

    Open World (sotto la media) immenso. Titolo non troppo curato ma che sa regalare momenti unici al giocatore grazie alle svariate possibilità che offre. Longevità e divertimento top. La mancanza dell'online (magari in stile Gta) o quanto meno della co-op ne abbassa notevolmente la mia valutazione insieme alla passività dei nemici, ad alcuni aspetti della trama e del gameplay

    Minor technical difficulties? Whenever there's a lot going on, the framerate drops to a slideshow level, with the action becoming almost unplayable. Did reviewers actually play the PS4 version?

    Oyuna haksızlık edildiğini düşünüyorum. Sinir stres kalmıyor oyunu oynayınca. Ayrıca zaman nasıl geçiyor anlamıyorsunuz kontrolleri biraz zor. Alışınca müthiş bir uyum yakalıyorsunuz.

    This game is actually really entertaining when you just fly around and destroy everything.
    But it is so boring when you do other stuff.

    The start of the game was good,but it became boring after the first 1/2 missions ,except the boss at the end of the game. The game has no ending, and it makes me questioning what happened to Rico and Marios lives after Medici was liberated. That is for me unsatisfying

    The story is already classically more or less the same as is usual with Just Cause games.

    The characters and dialogue are good, but at times they push themselves a little too hard to be funny. The conversations then come across as almost kitschy.

    Medici (Italy) is a beautiful setting, I liked that a lot. Unfortunately is not very long, i finished it in +-15 hours.

    Overall this game was a nice diversion, however I wouldn't play it again.

    I rate it 7/10.    … Expand

    Great game. During the first few hours I was a bit disappointed due to the controls, but I got the hang of it later, and your gear improves too, making your life easier. The performance isn't as bad as people say, I had great fun on base ps4, though loading scenes when you die are quite boring. Make sure you get the XXL edition with all DLC, as they bring great improvement to your life inGreat game.

    Story isnt the strongest thing in this game but whos gonna buy Just Cause for the story, what Jc done great is World, Destruction, Physics, Proggresion and weapons variations, but where JC lose is bugs and sometimes FPS drops.
    If you love Open World games dont miss JC 3 because for me is better than GTA 5

    Another game I hadn't been aware of till recently. I loved the open world and gameplay despite the repetition. A bit OTT at times but doesn't jump the shark like the Saints Row series did. Scratches the GTA V itch.

    Diversion sin muchas pretensiones. Excesivamente repetitivo aunque destruir todo a tu paso puede llegar a ser divertido.

    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.
