This game looks DAMN good.
It's hard to believe games are starting to look this good.
Pretty dang fun too, though obviously not terribly deep.
Wow, those are some terrific graphics. If the gameplay is as good, it would be quite the nice game!
Its a DX10 only game. XP users not wanted.
Cool!
Also STEAM only.
Blowing shit up.
I like where this gameplay trend is going - as a big fan of Crusader games, I really like blowing shit up. Mercs 2 a bit, Sabatour and Red Faction: da big G and JustBeCause 2 all have this REALLY fun element (persistent destruction).
I liked the demo enough to buy it even though it requires Steam (though that probably wouldn't have happend if I had to pay the full $50- I got it for $35).
Played the 360 demo several times over this weekend...tons of fun.
i will likely buy it, but on 360. my pc isnt powerful enough and im not really interesting buying from steam
Played the demo on 360 and hit the time limit quite a few times. For some reason, I felt the game, while quite open, felt a little "empty." I'm not sure if I'd pay the full $60 price to get it. But I may pick it up for around $30.

It is LOADS of fun. It's like Grand Theft Auto taken to the Extreme. The grappler is tons of fun too. Have you tried tying someone to your helicopter yet and flying off? lol it's hilarious. There are some seriously sick stunts in this and blowing crap up is really satisfying. I'd say it's worth the 60 bucks depending on how your cash flow is. The only way it doesn't compare to GTA is in it's storyline. Some of the voice acting leaves a lot to be desired.
As long my 'cousin' doesn't ring me every thirty seconds to invite me for a beer, it's already better than GTA4.
The demo starts completely differently from the game. (WTF, developers. Why do they keep doing this when it just makes it seem like the game will have no story?)
Just Cause 2 is a lot of fun so far, I'll definately keep at it. Travelling long distances can be a pain in the arse before you have any settlements nearby to extract to, but that's the only problem I've had with the gameplay.
(Back to how I started the thread) I can't compare with Crysis graphics because...well, I never really played Crysis. I got to a point with a rocket launcher and a tank I was supposed to blow up, and I'd already USED the rocket launcher so couldn't figure out what the hell they wanted me to do, so I gave up on that one.
I assume you mean "All of "...but at least its funny.
I own the first Just Cause, and while tons of fun for the first few hours.......I found (like I do with every other open-world destruction-fest-shooter) that I was mindlessley moving from mission to mission wondering what the hell the point of the missions even was.
I say the above, keeping in mind I extensively played Just Cause, GTA, Mercs, Mercs 2, Far Cry 2 etc.
In my books they all end the same for me........somewhere in the middle of the game I get bored enough to never touch them again....
Beautiful to look at......but when attempting a relationship....found to be somewhat vapid. Hmm.....

The one open world game I keep going back to is Crackdown. I haven't found another open world game so mind-numbingly AWESOME. Can't wait for the sequel.
Just Cause 2 is way better than the first one. I've barely put any time into the first one, and I don't really intend to.
