Zero Punctuation: Just Cause 3
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Gotta agree with Yahtzee on the sucky naval options. Way too many games ignore the water aspect of the sandbox. But yeah, the game is still great.
Been loving JC3 and was looking forward to hearing Yahtzee's take on it.
Shame about the final boss. It seems to be a problem with a lot of AAA games not knowing how to close out. Ideally, a game should close out by doing what had been the meat of the game. In JC3's case, a more appropriate finale would be the dictator showing up with a Star Destroyer and Rico having to take it apart component-by-component.

I have been telling people this and they do not listen! Le sigh! Maybe i have to get famous-ish first. Hmmm...
I think aside from the idiotic gear unlocking mechanics that tie specific upgrades to specific events rather than just giving us gears to upgrade what we want, and the fact that you can't throw the triggered explosives any more, Just Cause 3 is so far been a pretty great followup.
The PC controls gave me so many problems on the changes made though. Not used to M2 being the hookshot and kept going for E. So many unneeded deaths.

JC3 has been such a huge disappointment for me. On one hand, I liked how they improved the AI of the enemy from JC2 and added the indicator for when they would call reinforcements, or when they have lost sight of you. On the other, I absolutely despise the fact that you no longer search for upgrade parts around the world and instead must do challenges with those long as fuck load times in between retrying.
OH MUH GAWD, I am so happy he talking about that bullshit "share my stats with friends" thing. I hate this feature and didnt even know it was on until one of my friends popped up on my IM and said "DUDE, im totally crushing you in headshots lol" If I want an experience that broie I would be playing CoD. Hate that feature. Let me play my single player games in peace.
But, Yahtzee... All those complaints are Just Flaws that don't get in the way of the Just Applause you would already be giving this game like how you would have given to Just Santa Claus...
Other than that, those online stats are nothing more than Just Faux Pas when they are irrelevant to your overall gaming enjoyment...

It's probably going to take spot number 2 for the simple glorious fun of it all. His GOTY will probably be Undertale since it makes major innovations in video game story telling by waging active psychological warfare against what ever goal the player seems to be going for.Johnny Novgorod said:
At this point I would also expect MGS5, and BloodBorne to definitely make it in, along with possibly Elite Dangerous, Talos Principle or Soma to round it all out.
Well, Undertale is going to present a bit of a dilemma, since Yahtzee always reminds us that the only eligible games for his Top 5 are the ones he has reviewed, ZP-style. Not that there's anything stopping him from breaking his own rule this year. Similarly, Elite: Dangerous is technically a 2014 game, but again, nothing's stopping him from declaring it GOTY 2015.empirialtank said:
BloodBorne and Soma are definite contenders. Talos Principle, I seem to remember him being mostly bored by it?
Thank you for the review, good stuff : )
Maybe they will release a holiday pack - Just Claus.
The goal is to deliver gifts to all the houses - anther map zone take over mission while dodging all the bad people who despise the holiday spirit (because reasons!) along with the dictator being the Grinch.
Yes Hookshottable made it back for a second appearance! Now I need to find some way to work it into a conversation during the holidays coming up.

If I didn't get trade-in value for that Need for Speed reboot I would have taken sadistic pleasure in snapping the disc in half. I still wanted to, it would have been the best $30 I would have ever wasted.Dornedas said:
OT: Seems like besides the boss fight, I've heard everything I already knew. Which is good because I already decided to buy it. Hopefully those patches fix up the frame-rate issues though.
