Could anyone sum it up please? I'm really excited for it and I'd like to know if it's a good port but I'm also crazy about spoilers and don't really want to look at 10 minutes of gameplay
Come on now. Just Cause doesn't have a plot beyond "go and destroy the infrastructure of a second world nation"
There are people who give a shit about what passes for a story in Just Cause?
There's also locations but fuckin' nevermind I guess, seems it's easier to shit on someone wanting to go in completely blind instead of saying it runs fine
After the trainwreck port of jc3 I'm just skipping this entirely tbh I don't know that I've ever been permanently soured on something the way jc3 did, but honestly, fuck avalanche, even if this port is perfectly playable
Pre-release code, and no specific GPU drivers so things may change but; Loading times over JC3 are apparently quite improved, SE demoed it on a standard 2.5" HDD A Core i5 4590 and GTX 1060 can run the game considerably well on high it seems, this is below the recommended spec Still hits ~60FPS with occasional frame drops Extreme physics scenes do some damage to the frame time, but it's still averaging close to 60 Just for funsies an 19 9900k and 1080Ti can run it at around 45-50 FPS at 4k on max settings The settings menu is incredibly similar to the JC3 menu, but everything in general seems to run a lot smoother even on pre-release code All in all the DF guys seem fairly confident that the game will be a lot more stable by launch. Though uhh, nobody knows what's going on in console land.
I hope they undo the dumb gameplay changes from 3 as well. Removing sprint with the excuse of "Well you have the grappling hook to get around" is positively retarded, and needing to unlock the ability to aim your guns more precisely on a strictly linear upgrade path is just making your game objectively worse for the first 4 hours for no reason. I would go back and give the game a proper chance but it runs like fucking dogshit on a PS4.
The video says it runs better than JC3.
I saw that but I'm still pretty fuckin butthurt that I spent ~$50 on a game a few years ago that I still can't play and can't have refunded, I'll probably wait til I can get it secondhand for a console tbh
I bought JC3 on sale on my xbox because it was only five bucks but 90% of the time it ran at sub 20 frames per second which makes the game borderline unplayable. JC3 was a massive disappointment and JC4 just seems to be more of JC3 instead of a brand new game.
Lets be fair here; every JC is just "JC -1 but more". The formula they've set out is incredibly flexible, you just need to staple new mechanics on each release, and add a new spectacle to each one.
