So Just Cause is a pretty fun game

Don't get me wrong, it's boring at first. Once you get the grappling gun though? Sweet. I just got the second Heavy Drop thing and it's a boring jeep, I want the gyrocopter. Anyone else do fun on this game? It's super good if you're into fun.

minus the city block destruction
and that's an ok thing
also, isn't it a greatest hits now, or at least like $20?
That was my preferred method of insertion for all the missions.
I never did finish it though, I spent too much time messing around and eventually traded it in. What time I did spend with it was most awesome, and I hope the sequel is good.

Yes.
And Just Cause was great, just 'cause. It's like Crackdown. Technically speaking, it has a lot of problems. And if I had my professional review hat on, I wouldn't really say it was anything special. But it's one of those games where the fuckawesome outweighs the shittastic.
I got to the very final mission and quit the game.

Yes. The parachuting was my favorite thing in the game. That and free falling for what seemed like a full minute or two before opening the chute at the last second.
You can go really really high up in this game. I forget what the ceiling is, but it's absurd.

you look like warm shit
Not that much actually, I like games where you can do awesome stuff. I wouldn't be excited about Saint's Row for instance, because it's just running around killing stuff. Parachuting and grappling onto planes and stuff, that's fun. I heard Crackdown was fun (I think I got it and Saint's Row confused) and I didn't like it because it wasn't any more special than just jumping pretty high (not even that high) and shooting stuff so far away you couldn't even see it. Crackdown was like Hulk for people who have a heart condition and can't be overly excited.
With that in mind, I do still really need to pick up a copy of H:UD and if I see a cheap copy of Just 'cuz, I'll impulse-buy that as well.
...crackdown was pretty much about massive explosions all the time. Whats not to love?

Here's a tip for you Tube, call in a drop and then grapple onto the drop plane on it's way out. It will take you up to the maximum height where you can enjoy a leisurely 3 minute free fall through the stratosphere.
Probably my greatest moment ever was driving a jeep at full speed off of a cliff (while mounted on the car) and jumping to a jet that screaming by at hundreds of miles per hour in what was one of the most random encounters I've ever had in a video game. I was just trying to jump off the jeep to activate the chute and the jet triggered the context sensitive buttons.
Also, once you get the boat the game becomes a lot more fun.
Mastering the helicopter that has the missiles on it is slightly ridiculous but then again, the entire game is pretty ridiculous.
fucking unimaginative game ender bullshit.
but yes, I spent so much time just parachuting and listening to the music. I also really enjoyed the looks of the game while under water, or in the middle of the jungle.
To be fair I had just gotten my philips 47" display with ambilight, so like, my whole rec room would be glowing the same colour as the game.

Thanks for making this thread, Tube. If it weren't for you, I probably would've never given this game a chance. I owe you a beer or a blowjob or both.
I didn't even know about ambilight until your post. Holy shit, I want one of those displays. I watched the demo video of it on the site and it was incredible. I hear you can even get fans for some of them, or they come with them, so that when a big explosion is on the screen, you'll get a blast of wind in your face. I don't know how that would really feel after awhile, though.
Edit: It looks like Auera is the successor to Ambilight, and the entire frame actually lights up instead of lights on the side. This demonstration on the site is cool as shit: http://www.aurea.philips.com/
I'm guessing you consolers got the long end of the stick on this one.
And again, the sky is impressive, as are the explosions. Its a blast in the pimped-up car; like being in one of Antonio Banderas' cheese dreams.
i am expecting, at some point, hilarious vehicle-leaping hijinx
i hope i am not disappointed.
the only thing that would make GTA IV more excellent, by the sounds of it, would be a similar dangle-from-vehicles kind of thing. action movie style vehicle stunts are fucking fun.
I never asked for this!
