Just Cause 4

As a fan of Just Cause 2 I actually enjoyed playing this. It was great to finally be able to explore a more diverse set of biomes again, especially since I was super bored of Medici by the end of JC3. The strongest aspect of the game has to be what they did with the grapple hook tho. All these modifications are just so much fun to f around with. I don't remember how often I built myself a flying tank to solve a mission objective instead of playing it "the normal way" (Which I guess was the point of the game to begin with).

As much fun as I had, it would be unfair not to aknowledge the games short comings though. The guns are alright at best, the missions are often unimaginative and a massive missed opportunity considering what gameplay options you have and the vehicles, especially cars and boats are actually super clunky, which, sure... they always were in Just Cause Games, but this has to be a new low. The story on the other hand is taking itself a bit too serious for what it is. Just Cause 2 was self-aware and a parody of its genre but this game tries to be a bit more dramatic in it's presentation and falls flat doing so. Luckily Just Cause is one of those games you really don't play for the story, so it didn't bother me much. The game is also not well optimized and prone to crash on weaker machines, so if you plan to play this on PC be aware.

Overall mixed feelings about the execution of what is essentially a really fun game. I'd give 6.5 stars if I could. If you don't care about all the problems I just named, I'm sure you'll have a great time with this. ...and for the price of 7,99 euros on MMOGA you really can't complain all that much.

Personally, this game isn't that bad. There are more vehicles than jc3, and I actually prefer the graphics now, but I understand how people don't like it. Why this doesn't get 9/10 is the liberation/missions-not enough. Once, I I drove 10 cars in water and liberated the entire region. If it worked more like jc3 with destroying red objects, then liberating bases then when you liberate all bases you liberate a region. Maybe then you unlock the missions to finally liberate the region. Also, the tornadoes always end up in the same place, However I haven't checked the new update

Also, they could add missions for the front line - for example, you have to go and defend otherwise you lose a small area of front line, so it feals real.

What happened?

Big fan of the franchise because of the over the top destructible bases that you are required to destroy to capture new settlements for your allies, which has been a core mechanic since JC2 but Just Cause 4 does not implement this!!! To capture new bases you have to complete missions from Sargento, your militia coordinator which just feels boring. While there are still all the massive generators and propane tanks that you can still blow up, it just feels empty and pointless. Also the new grapple attachments are weird but that's a whole other can of worms. Stay in Medici, Just Cause 3 is better.

I absolutely loved Just Cause 3 it's one of my favorite games of all time and I could not wait till I heard Just Cause 4 was coming out. Just Cause 4 to me was a massive disappointment, the graphics in the cutscenes were terrible no way near as good as Just Cause 3 graphics. The driving machanics in this game are very hard to control. The campaign was OK but not a satisfying one. Besides all the cons in this game the gameplay is fun and there is some cool easter eggs. The reason why I gave this a 4/10 is because it's fun to mess around in this game. I would recommend people to try out this game because this is just my opinion.

What in the hell is this ? Are we in 2001 or 4 ??? Who rushed them?
