Just Cause 2

digibucc · Apr 1, 2010

See for me it's different:
#1 Assault Rifle
#2 Sawed Off
#3 was submachine gun, now is rico's pistols (from DLC)

I already had my weapon swithc buttons tied to my extra mouse buttons from BC2 - so one switches to main and one toggles secondary. very easy and fast switching without losing aim.

use the Assault all the time. submachine when that runs out, and then sawed off or Rico's guns when that runs out.

Machine gun is good but a little more power than necessary. less poer and more ammo on the AR make it worth it for me.

got the game and it good
but i utilises only one core , i thought it was mulri thread capable
and got even worse fps then demo and some tearing too
but the gameplay makes me forget all the flaws

whats this game like graphicly? story is a big part of a game for graphics is just as big a part for me.

mafia97 · Apr 1, 2010

graphics are good
draw distance is the most amazing thing in the game and the game looks beautiful when looking from very high point in the game

FordGT90Concept · Apr 1, 2010

It looks a lot like the original to me. Alright but nothing ground breaking.

Story, from what I seen so far, is short. Most of the game revolves around causing chaos (taking over settlements/bases/airports/ports).

Looks like the first one? lol. I have the first one and this doesn't even look close to the first one.
This looks a million times better in like every way IMO.
I bought JC1 just to see it. It's way uglier. It's like gta IMO, only better.

Maybe you have multithreading forced to off in your nvidia control panel?
The game is quad core optimized I believe. If you don't want tearing, turn on vsync.

Story can be short. Just skip doing the Agency missions as much as possible and focus more on the faction missions. Once the main story is completed it goes into "Mercenary Mode" and you just work on getting 100%

The main missions are epic. Lots of "whoa" moments.

It's got lots of trees, sand, water, and mountains...yup, same to me.

I've only done 2 or 3 agency missions knowing that if I start hammering them out in a row, the game would lose its fun-factor instantly. I'm at like 77% complete and almost 60 hours of game time...

Mussels · Apr 2, 2010

lol i was thinking "damn, i've been hammering this shit for like 8 hours now, i'd better save some for tomorrow"

yeah, 7%. i lold.

pr0n Inspector · Apr 2, 2010

this game is too fun! unlike other boring open world games, I get to blow everything up! mountains and parachutes are awesome too.

i have ati and this game vsync is broken therefore using d3doverrider
now everything is fine but it still utilises one core

ah yeah, i was about to say it works fine for me, but i always have D3Doverrider in the background.

mafia97 · Apr 2, 2010

any solution for it utilising only one core
i read various threads many users are having this problem but there was no solution
even one thread on official forum is there

FordGT90Concept · Apr 2, 2010

It is using 4 cores at about 50% each for me. I did nothing special.

pantherx12 · Apr 2, 2010

Runs on all cores for me too.

I notice when I alt tab only 1 core is loaded though.

Marineborn · Apr 2, 2010

i just picked up this game on steam, holy shit its a blast i was only gonna play it for a couple minutes to try it out next thing i know 2 hours have gone by, OMG so hilarous tethering humvees that are chasing you to the ground and watching them snap backwards, i was in tears, just plain awesome, planes are a little difficult to fly though

HeroPrinny · Apr 2, 2010

best fun i've had, is i downloaded The Bolopatch for unlimited ropes and unbreakable grapples, so i attached 4 of the military guys and took off in the pell (1 died before i got airborne

) and then i spent a few minutes winging them around the plane until i got bored and crashed into a silo.

erocker · Apr 2, 2010

These are hillarious!

i used that to attach vehicles to the auto-cannon tank. and then drive around lfinging them behind me. just drive past a blockade and demolish it without even trying...

that patch is fun. I had some issues with it so i don't leave it on, but sometimes it's good addition

HeroPrinny · Apr 2, 2010

i'm falling!
guy strapped to pell
two videos i recorded using xfire.. sorry about the first one not having sound.

pantherx12 · Apr 2, 2010

Thanks for mentioning bolopatch, been having all kinds of fun with it.

attach all gas canisters to one chap then set them off

Just finished it on normal difficulty:
Game Time: 72:06
Agency missions completed: 7/7
Fraction missions completed: 49/49
Stronghold takeovers accomplished: 9/9
Challenges completed: 75/75
Locations discovered: 369/369
Locations completed: 369/369
Resource items aquired: 2506/2700
Faction items collected: 300/300
Baby Panau statues destroyed: 82/90
Colonols assasinated: 50/50
Game completion: 97.55%

I think Just Cause is better than Just Cause 2 because it had far more agency missions with a lot of variety between them. Only 7 agency missions is nothing shy of ridiculous. The finale was also anti-climatic compared to the finale in Just Cause. It was easy in Just Cause 2 while Just Cause, even on easy, it is a challenge.

Searching for boxes or stuff to blow up to get 100% in each individual town was nothing short of annoying. I'd rather just blow up 3 baricades like what was done in Just Cause. At least that felt more like toppling a government than picking up some crates. Yes, it got a bit repetitive too but it's not like you were just hovering around in a helicopter for 30 minutes trying to find a barricade.

Also sad there aren't very many cities in Just Cause 2. and even when you are in the cities, they don't feel special like in Just Cause. I might be confusing Just Cause for Mercenaries 2 in that regard though...

Anyone seen the very large cargo/bomber plane yet?

Yes, I found that is spawns in the south western airport, with a single runway. A harrier type jet spawns at the north end of the airstrip and the cargo plane spawns about halfway down. It kind of sucks, because if you try to take the jet, and the cargo plane spawns, you crash into it, and if you take the cargo plane it barely has enough runway to take off.

Edit: Damn, I completed the Airbase to 100% and now I haven't seen a single cargo jet spawn. I saw 3 spawn just while I was running around collecting everything.

D007 · Apr 13, 2010

I'm still thoroughly enjoying it.
I tried to get like max altitude then jump out of my chopper and let it freefall.
I wanted to tether to it from freefall while it was spinning and the alarm was sounding on it.
It was crazy fun..lol. falling above a spinning chopper trying to catch up to it.
Bulleting then leveling out to slow back down when i got to close.

Kind of sucked though, after all that effort when i finally did manage to snag it with a tether, it pulled me in then just knocked me off and wouldn't let me get back into the chopper.
Still a hell of a fall though.

So gorgeous this game is.
