So Just Cause 3 officially released on Windows today, and it's looking awful shiny. I'm still reviewing Thea: The Awakening so our review won't be up until next Thursday (10th).
Early reviews show it to be immensely fun with a few minor hiccups, tonnes of content and an enormous map.
There is but one catch: The game apparently crashes horribly with the latest Crimson drivers. Most reviewers are recommending you downgrade to the aged Catalyst drivers for better performance.
"After sadly being ignored about this by Avalanche, the arrival of AMD’s latest (dreadful) Crimson driver files seemed to get me past the problem (or it was a coincidence) but broke everything else in the game. The world was reduced to fractured triangles, and obviously unplayable. However, past the crash, I was able to fight the god-awful Crimson shite off my computer and eventually convince the slightly less god-awful Catalyst back on, and have continues. Your results may vary, but be warned that at launch, JC3 doesn’t seem ready for AMD’s latest drivers." - John Walker @ RockPaperShotgun
