Freaking already. His best review to date. [url]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1632-Just-Cause-2[/url]
Finally!
'Remember the ironic gamer pussy is just as soft and lovely as the regular kind' That bit made me laugh
'Why? Just cause!' 'Why? Just cause! Two!' 'Why? Fucked if I know!'
He was having trouble ratting it out haha. you can tell he really liked it compared to most games.
You know, even though he is a critic, he occasionally enjoys games. See his reviews for the Orange Box and Saints Row 2.
I thought he would enjoy it more, considering how he loved Saints Row 2. [editline]07:14PM[/editline] Great review btw
my god, a game he liked slightly? and he still made a funny review about it? awesome
"Some might say 'That's enough', some might say 'You're too easy to please', but SOME can shut they're fucking mouth" Oh man that was hilarious
Yes he obviously liked it i knew he would have a go at the story which is fair enough but at least he gets the point for this one, how its just all about fucking shit up and its fucking fun while doing it!
just cause 2 is a fun game
Heh, he didn't give all the JC2 players the satisfaction of him liking it. Normally he'd say he loved it, but since he must have been spammed to death with requests for JC2 he decided to not please the ones that filled up his in-box every 5 seconds.
For the first week.
I really thought he would have ratted on the voice acting more. It was TERRIBLE. But you can tell he found the game fun to play. And for once I agreed 99% with all his points. (I don't think it's too big or it has a repetitive mapping style)
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;21486889]I really thought he would have ratted on the voice acting more. It was TERRIBLE.[/QUOTE] I always thought the voice acting was satire.
If so then their whole plot was satire. I mean, I doubt they took is very seriously, but I don't think they were actually trying to make it THAT bad.
The whole game is satire of the eighties "over-the-top" action movies, so I think it's safe to say that the voice acting was horrible on purpose. As a reviewer said somewhere: "It takes skill to be this bad."
The voice acting was good and the characters and dialogue were supposed to be shit.

i agree with his review quite a bit. the story in the game is dumb, although it's supposed to be satire to me it's just not funny, and the voice acting is terrible not in the sense that it's funny but in the sense it's bad. the missions were either decent or just boring, and the most fun part was just dicking around.
That was pretty good.
He was 100% right about everything. I also thought he'd rip on the VO's... because they are beyond bad. You'd expect the Just Cause 2 voice actors to be in movies such as Troll 2, Giant Snake vs Giant Spider (or whatever). They are just plain terrible.
What I love is when I steal a fighter-jet and go around blowing things up and suddenly I unlock a new item or mission or something. The only thing wrong with that is you have to blow up government buildings to do that D: I can't just blow up ANY tower...
He's so right.
Parachute farting! :v:
Must agree with him on this one.
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;21487158]If so then their whole plot was satire. I mean, I doubt they took is very seriously, but I don't think they were actually trying to make it THAT bad.[/QUOTE] Everything was satire. The whole point of the game was to make you feel like you're in a cheesy action movie.
me and this guy have the same birthday. same with Bob Dylan.
I've never seen an action movie with voice acting as bad as it is in game (well, not one that's worth watching, aside from "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROOyUtvdbRM&feature=related]Komodo VS Cobra[/url]" or "[url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459392/]Hammerhead[/url]" which are only worth watching because they are so bad.). I mean it's sad when you make SyFy look professional. Satire or not they made my ears bleed. Otherwise aside from a few other annoyances (all of which were addressed in the review) I love the game. Great feel, and great fun.
