The first Just Cause was pretty much garbage apart from the huge map and (for the time) pretty graphics, JC2 was quirky but still quite fun, JC3 was meh, and this just looks like more of the same
The destruction in these games are fun, but it falls to the problem of when the story is over there is absolutely nothing else to do besides go around and blow up some copy-pasted bases.
JC1 was my favorite cause it was just so...fun and fresh with everything it provided. The gameplay and gunplay was fun and the AI felt smarter and more challenging than newer games. Missions were also more than just "lul go destroy this here" and getting good guns and vehicles was actually tough and worth effort. It's been downhill since 1 for me.
I wish Just Cause had Red Faction Guerrilla, or at least Red Faction 1 levels of destructable environments. It starts to feel very, very sameish very quickly blowing up copypasted shit that explodes mostly in the same way.
These games are starting to feel more like glorified tech demos.
As good as JC2 was honestly 3 couldn't have possibly outdone it unless they did this and more with what it had
This looks like it'll be fun for a whooping 3 minutes and 29 seconds before the gimmick wears off.
Tornado the game
I really love the JC games, but even I'm not really feeling this. It looks good but it looks basically like Just Cause 3.5
"Railgun, a new weapon that fires a beam of energy"

That's... that's not what the railgun does.
I wish the sound design in these games had more dynamic range. Really takes away the impact when a set of massive explosions in a tornado has the same volume as your grappling hook
I wish we could see some seriously cool stuff with natural disasters in games, tornadoes are extremely terrifying in scale, sound and look yet this game makes it look pretty damn wimpy.
I get the feeling the tornado's are going to be like the dragons in skyrim, cool at first but something you later start to avoid because you don't want to deal with it.
That tornado doesn't feel right to me.
It looks like an expansion to 3 instead of a sequel tbh
I'd MUCH rather ride the tornado tethered to a small car's roof than in a vehicle that isn't even affected by it.
Yeah the tornado seemed really fake tbh, almost like a prop in a movie. I was expecting Rico to start flying faster around the tornado as he got closer but it looks like you're not even affected by the tornado itself. It would of been an interesting gimick if the tornado hindered your ability to control yourself in the air.
I was kind've off-put by the fact Rico wasn't blown away when the wind cannon was spinning around and faced directly at him while it was still clearly operational.
You think with this much emphasis on tornados and wind and whatnot you'd make the wind have more of an impact on the game.
That's cause it isn't right, far from it. Crysis did it better 11 years ago.

that's not how tornadoes work
Hell, that one Gmod map did it better than JC:

Those Gmod tornadoes felt downright vicious
Just Cause 3 is hilariously boring. Once you've done one of every type of mission, you've beaten all of the unique content in the game. Every base save for like, one is copy and pasted around. It's not even like there's a ton of content, but rather they didn't even bother to make unique content for like, any of the towns or bases, and there are like three or four that are in entirely identical island caves with the same paths.
Like how lazy can you get? I understand reusing assets, but entire geographical locations wholesale? Really?
They barely added any atmosphere to it.
That's objectively not true.
They actually do vary quite a bit but all there is to do is to blow things up that are not unique really.
There are oil rigs, and giant mining equipment to blow up that are unique to some locations but it's rather minimal
This game looks lazier than JC3 though, sadly. I was excited. Not so much now.
you can 100% just cause 3 in 50 hours
you can't 100% just cause 2
check mate
"I'll get the tornado back on track."
"Wind Cannons"
So it's not just a weather effect.
Tornado looked cool but sound was weird and looked like it barely did damage some times.
