    So mod recommendations?

    There seem to be hundreds, but the mod database isn't really the best organised.

    All I'm really looking for is

    1) Multiple grapples

    2) A better black market that doesn't require me to re-buy everything after I die (like the stunt chute). Don't mind if it sets everything to free, I'm mainly just after the parachute.

    And maybe

    3) Extended grapple range.

    So, you may be aware that Just Cause 2 had a multiplayer mod beta this weekend, where over 1000 players took part.

    Here's the highlight reel:

    And another video. Why? Just 'cause!

    Max the machinegun asap. After that, grenades. After that, whatever.

    It's kinda shit, but you'll get used to it.

    And even better, you'll learn how to grapple-chute your way around, which is faster than driving.

    That's because you need to think of vehicles as self-propelled explosive payloads that you leap off of at the last second before detonation; mobile bombs with steering wheels.

    You're a poet, good sir.

    For upgrades, you should go for Rico's signature guns first. Not because they're good or anything, but because dual wielding those while you take down a commander makes you look like a boss.

    You don't wanna look like a punk while you blow shit up, do you? Well, do you?

    Finally decided to play this amazing game. Any must have mods other than the increased grapple range?

    Also, are planes really hard to control or do I just suck at it?

    Yeah planes are terrible to control. No rudder controls.

    Helicopters are for when you want to travel by air reliably. Planes, not so much.

    Airplanes work fine for travel.

    Landing? What do you think you have unlimited parachutes for?

    any way to set a helicopter to hover?

    while hanging from it, sorry, thought i should specify that.

  • OrcaOrca Also known as Espressosaurus WrexRegistered User regular
    Not that I'm aware of. It'll inevitably begin beeping and spiraling down out of control...

    Stunt position is the only thing. It doesn't hover for long, much like riding on top of a plane, it eventually crashes in a serene, wonderful ball of DID YOU SEE THAT?!?

    It's actually loads of fun to get the army bringing in endless choppers and just hoping from one to the other, shooting the co-pilot, jacking the chopper, and onto the next.

    my idea was to fly into the flying zeppelin disco club and just hang from the chopper a few feet above floor level while pouring lead into everything

    well because that would not be nearly as badass and I'm also not sure what you mean

    Isn't there a giant ass balloon right above the disco club? Like, the part that makes up 99% of the zeppelin?

    Grapple onto one of those, and use that as your attack point.

    oh i see what you mean

    that's still many times less badass than hanging from a hovering chopper while i do this

    You are so high above ground you have plenty of time to get back into the helicopter and fly back up there.

    It'd be kind of funny.

    "We're under attack!"
    "Wait where did he go?"
    "I dunno I think he fell."

    Is Just Cause worth 2.49? I'd have picked up Just Cause 2 but I prefer starting from the first game if it's a fun game.

    You don't need to have played just cause 1 to enjoy or follow 2, and it isn't quite so enjoyable a game, but sure. Pretty much any game is worth 2.49.

  • KlashKlash Lost... ... in the rainRegistered User regular
    I got JC during the lead up to JC2's release for $20. I don't regret it.

    JC is definitely an older game, though. The mechanics aren't that smooth, you aren't nearly as nimble and mobile as in JC2 and the game can get very frustrating at parts. Every now and again I still go back to try and increase my standing with the gangs/revolutionaries. It's worth $2.49.

    agreed, he was asking about the first game though

    I'd be curious about that too. Looks like its worth the purchase.

    I have a disc copy of the first game I've been trying to give away for months now. No-one wants it.

    you know

    its not like one day the gaming industry just woke up and said "nobody is going to play games off discs ever again"

    but goddamn

    I woke up one day and realised i hadnt used a disc to install a game in about two years.

    At this point, disks are for collectors editions.

    I don't see the point in bothering otherwise.

    The last on-disc PC game I bought and installed was... Battlefield 2, I think? So something like 6 years for me. Good thing, too; I'd have probably lost half that stuff by now if I had to keep track of physical copies, just from moving.

  • Big ClassyBig Classy Registered User regular
    Really? I bought one last month I think, may have been the month before. Prototype 2, which was Steamworks sure but I used the disc for a quicker install.

  • DhalphirDhalphir don't you open that trapdoor you're a fool if you dareRegistered User regular
    the last game I installed off a disc was Starcraft 2 and only because you couldn't pre-download the digital version so I didn't want to wait to play.

    Before that the last CD game I played was Battlefield 1942.
