Just Cause 3

Who's playing it? What do you think? Does anyone even hang out in the general gaming threads anymore?

There are plenty of good things to JC 3 that I could talk about, but as a hardcore JC 2 fan, I'd rather dish about the disappointing elements first.

My biggest problem (outside of some bugs and crazy load times) is the physics... everything from the cars, to your parachute are way more stiff and sluggish than they were in JC 2. On the other end of that spectrum, you'll have objects that react in such extreme ways to the slightest interaction: cars will flip wildly into the air when they hit small rocks, and only a couple of shots with your gun will send enemy cars into wild crashes (why did shooting the passenger just send that cop car into a front flip?) The old "last minute parachute" rag dolling trick from JC 2 is gone, as are alot of the smaller things I enjoyed from that game (the button prompts for jacking, the whip melee). Also, I know this entire franchise plays fast-and-loose with the story, but it's kinda weird that Rico Rodriguez is now a Mediterranean chap.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be playing the crap out of this game over the next year, but my first impressions aren't as strong as I thought they would be.

I have not played it yet, but from what I've been hearing, it hasn't changed far too much. Obviously there are some problems that need to be sorted, but I'll eventually pick this one up. 

I love this game. And this is coming from someone who tried 3 different times to get into Just Cause 2 and couldn't. The only problems I have encountered so far is the long load times but it's only like 30-45 seconds long.

Load times are crazy specially when your doing challenges but I love this game.

I also find it weird that when you hop out a car and that car is going like 5 mph it will explode if it hits another car or something exploitable.

It feels like mercenaries a little bit;  and also like pilot wings when you're using the air suit or parachute.  I haven't played that much of it, as I'm playing other games.  I'm having fun with it so far.  

I never played it just cause...

...I'll show myself out.

I have no idea why it has been rated so poorly, especially on Steam. It runs perfectly for me and loading times aren't THAT bad. Sure, the game gets repetitive but as long as you use your imagination, you can always find something to do. (I just wish the items/skills unlocked faster)
